s our lott for his sake that suffered the contradiction of sinners for our sake so that the life of true Religion you might feel and enjoy in your selves and not remain under the windy Doctrines of Men their empty forms and Ceremonies but come to Christ the substance by hearkning to his Voice and opening the Door of your hearts by Faith and let him in that he may sup with you and you with him and drink of the Cup of his Blessing know the Communion of Saints an● the breaking of Bread which is the Body of Christ and to know a being built upon him the sure foundation that ye may be able to stand in that day wherein all mens foundations shall be tryed and may know Bread in your own Houses and Water in your own Cisterns Oyle in your own Lamps that when the cry is prepare to meet the Bridegroom tho at Midnight you may be ready and to enter in with the bridegroom to the Marriage Chamber Oh awake awake you careless professors of Christ do not sleep in your empty forms and lifeless Profession of Christianity but get Oyle in your Lamps grace in your hearts that he may shine forth in your lives and Conversations and do not in Works deny him whom in Words ye profess for he sees and beholds you marks your wayes knows your Works and will reward you accordingly Saith your Friend JOHN FIELD A POSCRIPT By another hand SOber Reader to whom this may come the holy Scriptures of truth bears a large Testimony against wicked persons especially against Scorners Scoffers and Mockers of the Judgement wrath of God against them as ye may read Pro 1 22. to the end and as hateful and rejected of God so the Scorner is abomination to men pro. 24.9 many other places of Scripture testify against them even as the worst of men The Scriptures are fulfilled in our day viz. in the last dayes shall come Mockers and Scoffers walking after their ungodly Lusts and the Children of the Lord in former Ages were set as Gazing stocks and signs and wonders and accounted as the Offscouring of all and now it s not strange that the same thing happens to us Now the end of Writing these Lines are tenderly to advise warn the Readers to beware of that light vain scoffing Spirit which in the said Book is manifested and not to suffer the same Spirit to arise in them or to be taken with it The Author having concealed his name I have given forth these Lines to pursue his vain wicked spirit and warn others to take heed of it I leave it all to the Lord from whom he we and all shall receive a Reward according to our deeds The aforesaid Book is stuft with so much scorning vain scurilous Language as if the Author were even set in the seat of the Scornful and made it his work to utter out folly and wickedness and his pleasure and delight therein utterly contrary to true Wisdom and Christianity it self greatly condemned in the holy Scriptures of Truth as appears by some of his vain light scoffing and scorning Expressions with his vilifying and r●proaching the People called Quak●rs follows viz. A Fanatical sort of people commonly culled Quakers from their trembling raving when they told their Dreams being acted in the same manner as the Heathen Southsayers buzing the ignorant in the Ears with their Intellible Jorgan this odumbred Sect Spawn of the Munster Reformer a by blow of the Jugling Jesuits or Mungril Race who licked up Socimus 's Vomit inspired with John Leydons Euthusiasims and have sucked in Popish perfection and Infallibility Now how hath he powred out his Wicedness like a flood the Lord rebuke him doth he consider that in the day of Judgement every idle word must be accounted for how much then the multitude of his scorns scoffs and jears Oh vain man let him repent And now in this his scornful spirit he will undertake to interpret Scripture and talk of Piety and vindicate some persons as pious calls one a Reverend Divine and our stoutest Champions If they be such as he Intimates they will account the Vindication of such a Scorner a Disgrace unto them It would have been well if he had consulted and considered the Holy Scriptures before he had thus powred out his vanity reproach scorn it may be he will say they are a rule but he never had any such Example from Christ or his Apostles Oh vain man remember God will bring thee to Judgement for these things and therefore thou should not be high minded but fear the great God who will give a reward to eveey one according to their deeds from whom thou cannot hide thy self tho thou hidest thy name from publick view and tho I know not who thou art yet thy wor● manifests what thou art I have written this in love to thee and all to whom this may come and leave the issue to the Lord.
