A85492	A cal [sic] and a vvarning, to all priests, professors and people, vvho have and do profess the Scriptures, that they may try their doctrines and practises by it, and may own condemnation in their doctrines and practises, wherein they are contrary to the Scriptures. And a tender visitation to the whole vvorld, that they may own this their visitation, and may be healed and restored to the Lord; and this may serve for a looking glass, wherein people may see what visage they are of, and how they stand related as unto God. / By a sufferer in Hartford goale, for faithful witness-bearing, against this sinful generation; known by the name of John Gould.

and your Christ and with it denied and your Faith which doth not purifie for whilst I was under the leading and conduct of it I came not to the knowledge of God by it and so not to eternal life which is witnessed through faith in him and in his blood which purifies my heart and gives me dominion over the world and that Christ I know own and witnesse which saves from sin all that come unto him but your Christ is denied which you say you believe will not set you free from sin here and so is not the Christ of God which is the true Light which lighteth every one that cometh into the world who is manifest to take away sin and to destroy the works of the Devil and in him is no sin And this Christ I own and bear witnesse of who is the true Light the Ordinance of the Father whom ye hate and destroy and make void through your traditions and denie your Mock-Christ which you say will not save you from sin here but leaves you in the Devils work which is sin by your own confession and so your Christ is but transform'd in you like unto an Angel of Light O ye Professors and People and your Ministers like unto Ministers of Righteousnesse and so being not the same Christ but like him cannot save ye from sin and so not from condemnation but keepes you in it whilest ye are here and perswades you that ye cannot be set free and this Christ ye believe in And here 's the mysterie of iniquitie hid and discovered even the spiritual wickednesse got into high places unto all who have an eye to see and an ear to hear and an heart to understand and will not wilfullie blind themselves by hating knowledge and instruction And this mysterie of iniquitie works not onelie at Rome and Italy and Spain and France but in England also and in every particular Member of that Church which is not in God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ the pillar and ground of Truth whom to know is life eternal which none comes to know but such who comes down to know and own the light within them which is pure of God which convinceth of sin and iniquitie and shews evil deeds that 's the Light which lets ye see when ye tell a lie when ye swear or be drunk or commit anie other sin that ye are serving the devil and not God when ye are fulfilling the lust of the flesh the lust of the eie and the pride of life that this is not of the Father but of the World and the World passeth awaie and the lusts thereof but he that doth the Will of God the same abideth for ever and this being obeyed which convinceth and sin denied it leads unto Christ from whence the light comes who leads to the Father of Light with whom there is no variableness neither shadow of changing who of his own good will hath he begotten us by the Word of his Povver unto a livelie hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead that we should be as the first fruits unto him having slain the enmitie on the Cross and broken down the Partition-wall and hath brought in everlasting Righteousness even by washing and purging of us in his own blood and his flesh we know which is meat indeed and his blood which is drink indeed and his covering we know But the wo from him is unto all such as are found covered and covering themselves with a covering and not of the spirit of the Lord for the Lord our God is come and coming in the Clouds of Heaven with the voice of the Arch Angel and the shout of a great Trump to call all vvho are in the Graves to arise and stand up to judgement they that have done vvell to the resurrection of life but they that have done evil to the resurrection of condemnation and the daie dravvs nigh a pace vvherein the Book of conscience must be opened and every one come to be judged out of the book of his ovvn conscience for all that ever hath been done in the bodie vvhether it be good or evil and he that hath done good shall go into life everlasting but he that hath done evil into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his Angels vvhere shall be vveeping and hovvling and gnashing of teeth vvhere the vvorm never dieth nor the fire is not quenched vvhich is the second death out of vvhich there 's no Redemption but blessed and holie is he that hath his part in the first Resurrection over such the second death shall have no povver but they shall reign Kings and Priests to God even for ever and ever even so Lord Jesus come quickly Amen Written to you from the Lord God vvho is Judge of quick and dead by a lover of all your souls that so vvith the Light of Christ Jesus vvithin you might come to a true sight and discoverie of your estates and conditions that so coming to be sensible of them you might return to the Lord in your life time before you be sealed up in the pit of everlasting darkness for the day of sealing is come and the Bride the Lambs Wife hath made her self readie and is entred into the Bed-Chamber And I John saw the Angel flying through the midst of Heaven having the Key of the bottomless Pit in his hand to seal and shut up all such who are found bearing the mark of the Beast in their fore-heads and in their right hand that they may be shut up and sealed for ever and ever And this in love is vvritten to go abroad as a vvarning from the Lord to all people professors and priests every vvhere but in particular to them in Hartford and Ware that so if possible some of them may come to repentance and to an acknowledgment of the truth in their life time as it is in Jesus before it be hid from their eyes and may serve also for the use of any vvho have an eye to see and an ear to hear From a lover of all souls knovvn to the vvorld by the name of IOHN GOULD But hath a nevv Name and a vvhite Stone vvhich none knovvs but he that hath it THE END
