A27130	Iacob is become a flame and the house of Esav stubble, or, The battail betwixt Michael and the dragon in which the seed of the woman is bruising the serpents head, and Cain the first birth ... is found the vagabond, and Abel and Abraham ... the friends of God : being a true discovery of the two seeds or births between which the enmity is put, the time and day being come in which the elder must serve the younger : with a few words to the priests, Bishops, Episcopal-men, and professors of this last age, and a short warning to the rulars and inhabitants of the earth.	Bayly, William, d. 1675.	1662 (1662)	Wing B1530; ESTC R27128	18,671	21

and contend in the same nature that matters not while you are in the spirit of Pride and enmity which is of the Devil your Sacrifice is not accepted of the Righteous holy God but is unto him as an odious smoak of Brimstone in the Nostrills of a man and your Church so called is not the body of Christ Jesus the Lambs wife but of the great whore which hath drank the blood of the Saints living in pleasures wantonness pride scornfulness disdain flattery deceit and vanity with your tongues at Liberty out of Gods fear in wrath and envy lust and malitiousness swearing cursing and corrupt communication rioting and sporting and all manner of ungodliness these are not the fruits of Gods spirit in which he is only worshiped nor graces of Christs Church but the Whores night garments for the Christians were and are to abstain from all appearance of evil and to waite upon God through his power to be sanctified throughout in body soul and spirit hating even the garment spotted with the flesh against which work the Serpent and his seed in all Ages have set themselves and took counsel together and made Laws and decrees even to hinder the appearance growth and Dominion of the Righteous seed and Image of God which is Christ in his people in all generations the seed of the woman which is brusing the Serpents head Therefore All ye Rulers Priests Bishops Lip-professors and people who are gainsayers of the light the truth the way of God in his people and are persecutors opposers proud wanton disdainful wild scornful and rebellious against Gods witness that lets you see your evil deeds and vain conversation and all you swearers and drunkards lyers envious unbeleiving whoremongers hypocrites whores sorcerers fearful and abominable you are all without without are dogs the biters and every one that loveth and maketh a Lye Hear this you that oppose the power of the pure dreadful God and its mighty works amongst the children of men which he hath begun in his people called Quakers it is too weighty for you it shall break you to peices and confound you its Gods work you oppose and not mans and if you say in your hearts you will make us bow before you have done with us I tell you nay God hath raised a seed in us of his own life and Image can ye not understand which can never bow to unrighteousness Idolatry hypocricy and deceit but stand in the Royal power and Authority of the Living God bearing testimony against it and fear not him that can but kill the body and after that hath power to do no more but is in the pure fear dread and terrible power of the Almighty God who hath raised it up compassing it about as a wall of fire and you can never quench it for it is that love which is stronger then death that is shed abroad in our hearts blessed is the man that heareth beleiveth and receiveth it therefore it is imposible for you to prevaile against it unless you could prevaile against God or were stronger then him then might you hinder his handy works and mighty wonders which he hath determined to bring to pass in these last days for let me tell you the Kings Rulers Priests Bishops for to you now am I speaking and that from the eternal God of Heaven that you are at this day verily opposing the great weighty work of God which he will accomplish none shall be able to hinder verily you shall as easily pluck the Sun Moon and Stars out of the Firmament in which the living God hath set them by his power and orders them by his wisdome as stop hinder or fustrate the decree or purpose of God concerning his people and their Enemies in these last days For the day is come of which his former Prophets have prophesied and declared that in the last days he would poure out of his spirit upon his sons and daughters and they should prophecy But this is a strange work which you cannot understand as it is witten many shall be tryed purified and made white but the wicked will do wickedly and none of the wicked shall understand but the wise shall understand who are in that wisdom which the fear of the Lord is the beginning of And in the day when the proud were called happy them that tempted God were even delivered did some fear the Lord and met often together and thought upon his name for when a book of remembrance was written before the Lord and they shall be mine saith God I will spare them as a man spareth his son that serveth him though men will not spare them who are servants of the Devil and is not this the day ye this is the day even the notable day the great and dreadful day in which the mighty God will cut short his work in Righteousness and because of this Nations shall be distressed and in great perplexity the Sea shall roar and mens hearts shall faile them for fear and for looking after those things which are coming upon the Earth and men shall walk like blind men because of their Rebellion against God and God shall send his Plagues upon the Earth like showers of Hail even Sword and Famine and Pestilence and Earthquakes and dreadful Thunderings upon the head of the wicked and all flesh shall faile before him and the Mountains shall quake at his presence for the terible God shall roar out of Sion and utter his voice in Ierusalem and the earth shall tremble and pain shall take hold of the ungodly as a woman in travail and they shall not escape Therefore seek not to get ease and covering by your unrighteous decrees against the Saints of the most high God or by afflicting and abusing them for we whom you have thus dealt with are his chosen Generation his Royal preisthood his peculiar people zealous of good works whose cause he will plead with all flesh and there is not a man upon the face of the whole earth that God hath respect unto or his offering but in this seed of Abraham which is Christ in us which he hath raised to offer up living sacrifices acceptable in his sight for the sacrifice of the wicked is abomination to him and there are but two seeds roots or grounds as I have said from whence all good and evil springs the one is the seed of Gods own sowing which is now arising to spread over the whole earth even the Plant of Righteousness Truth and Equity and the other is the seed of Enmity against God his truth and people and this is the seed of evil doers which shall never be renowned And the son of God is come the seed of Renown and hath given us an understanding that we know him that is true and are in him that is true and we know him that is false and out of the truth and we know God only is to be worshiped and the Devil denyed
