Christian Information Concerning these Last times Wherein all people may clearly see what Prophesies the holy Prophets prophesied of should come to pass which of them is fulfilling and which is fulfilled and how the lowest part of the great Image that Daniel shewed to the King is now a breaking to ponder and by whom whereby People may see how very-near Antichrist or the great Whore of Babylon is to her End Also some prophetical Passages gathered out of Jacob Behme's Works who prophesied and gave them forth in the year 1623. Concerning what should come to pass in these Northern Islands and as he then declared them they are now come to pass and also what he said concerning the Turk what he was what he should do and what should at last become of him Wrinten in the fifth Month by F.

Here is Wisdom let him that hath Wit count the Number of the Beast for its the number of a Man and his Number is all the numeral Letters in the Roman Alphabet being rightly placed thus MDCLXVI Revel 13.18 LONDON Printed in the Year 1664. Christian INFORMATION concerning these Last Times CHrist Jesus the Light of the World was as you may read Mat. 16. tempted with an hypocritical People who desired that he would shew them a sign from heaven but he answered and said unto them When it is evening ye say fair weather for the skie is red and in the morning the day shall be tempestuous for the skie is red and lowring O ye hypocrites ye can discern the face of the skie and can ye not discern the signs of the times O ye Rulers of this Nation of England and the People thereof can ye as yet discern any more concerning the signs of the times that you now live in then those Hypocrites did in the dayes by-past can ye not at all discern what the Lord hath done and what the Lord is bringing to pass in this your day is not our God working a Work in your day and such a Work as you will not believe though it be declared unto you Nay are not you covered with thick darkness more than any age or generation of men that ever went before you Have not you had the Writings of the holy Prophets and of Christ and his Apostles that have prophesied from the holy Spirit of the Lord and they have left unto you upon record what the Lord would bring to pass in the latter dayes and the Book is sealed unto you yet so that you will not or cannot read what is written therein O all you that profess your selves Christians and say you own that which is written in the holy Scriptures of Truth and yet are found at this day walking and acting clear contrary to that which is written in that which you own and profess both Rulers Priests People will not the words that Christ hath left unto you upon record judge you all at the last day who are found making void his Commands by your Precepts is there not one Lawgiver who is able to save and destroy left you upon record and ought not all mens Laws to be subordinate unto his Law O consider these things for the Lord will suddenly arise against such a People that have destroyed or made void his righteous Law O Nation of England the Land of my Nativity which way shall I take up a Lamentation for thee and how do I mourn for thee to see both Rulers Priests and People setting themselves like so many briers and brambles to prevent and stop the Work of the Lord that he hath decreed shall now be brought to pass in the Earth and though the Scriptures that you say you own declare of such a Work as that the Lord will overthrow Babylon and the Lamb and his Followers shall have the victory over the Dragon and his Followers yet you will not believe but set your selves with all your power against the Lord and against his People abusing and shamefully intreating his faithful Prophets whom he hath raised by his own Power and that in your own borders first to declare unto you his everlasting Gospel that so you might be turned from darkness unto Light and from the power of Satan unto God And also they have as righteous Noah did declared unto you that the Lord would suddenly bring a Deluge upon the world of ungodly men if they did not suddenly repent and turn from their wicked wayes And this Message of the King of Heaven they have faithfully declared through thy Streets Citties and Markets unto all thy Inhabitants as well unto thee O King Charles whom their God hath set upon thy Throne as to the Begger that sits upon the Dunghil and in so doing the Lord's Mercy hath been large unto you all in that he hath faithfully warned you all by his Servants the thing that must suddenly be fulfilled upon you but have you done as the King of Nineveh did with his People or have you at all believed the report of the Lord's Servants but have you not done as those did in Zedekiahs day both Rulers and People Have you not done evil in the sight of the Lord and have not humbled your selues before him 2 Chron. 36. have not all the chief of the Priests and also of the People trespassed wonderfully according to all the Abominations of the Heathen in teaching for Doctrines mens Precepts And hath not the Lord God of your Fathers sent to you by his Messengers whom you in derision call Quakers and they have faithfully declared his Message unto you And have not you mocked the Messengers of the Lord and made a Decree that his Labourers shall no more labour in this his Vineyard and you have despised their words and misused and imprisoned his Prophets whom he hath sent until the Lord's Wrath is risen against you and there will be no remedy and will you who are as Briars and Thorns set your selves in battle-aray against the Lord who is a consuming Fire to all the workers of Iniquity and whose day that is near at hand burns like an oven and all the proud and all that does wickedly shall be as stubble and the day that cometh shall burn them up saith the Lord of Hosts and shall leave them neither root nor branch Mal. 4.1 O foolish people consider these things before it be too late and cease to do evil and learn to do well seek Judgement relieve the oppressed judge the Fatherless and defend the Widdows but if you do not these things but on the contrary let your Decree stand that will make many thousands widdows and thousands fatherless the Lord will never reason with you but by his sore Judgements he will overthrow you and none shall be able to help you saith the Lord God For this the Lord hath commanded me to declare unto you and also to his suffering Lambs who suffers under your power at this day that so you may be warned of the evil of your wayes and his
