IT may be They will present their Supplications before the LORD and will turn every one from his Evil Way For great is the Anger and Fury that the LORD hath pronounced against THIS PEOPLE POSTSCRIPT HE that reads the Books of Controversie against G. Fox G. Whitehead and that Party writ by several that had been some 20 30 or 40 Years of the Society of the Quakers * Viz. F. Bugg T. Crisp W. Rogers Jo. Hog N. Coleman J. Rance G. Keith D. Leeds W. Mather and no less than 67 Writ against them at one time with divers others that might be named besides the Author of the Snake c. will plainly see much of the foregoing Collections already fulfill'd and so must the rest be in the appointed Season and then 't will more fully and evidently appear that the same Infallible and Unerring SPIRIT by which the Holy Men of Old were Guided some have been made living and true Witnesses of in this our Age and Generation Tho' 't is sad to consider how the Quakers vain Boasts and false Pretences thereto have caused the very Name of the LORD and His Inspirations to be Derided and Blasphemed yea and that in a greater and higher degree than any other Sect whatsoever this is Matter of Sorrow and ought to be laid to Heart by every one concern'd J. P. O THOU Great and Infinite BEING before Whom all Nations are but as the drop of a Bucket in comparison of THEE Bless Preserve and Keep me and all that truly fear THEE from all and all manner of Evil whether of Flesh or Spirit from henceforth and for ever is the Desire Humble and Hearty Prayer of one of the Unlearnedst Weakest and Unworthiest of all THY Servants yet am one that have been made willing and that with gladness of Heart to follow THY Leadings whether into Good or Evil Report Praised and Glorified be THY Name for evermore saith THY Servant and let all the Upright-hearted say Amen An APPENDIX IT is impossible says W. Mather that the Pens now in Controversie against Us Quakers should be put a stop to before there is a Reformation of our numerous Preachers And also a Retractation of all the Errors of our Friends Books be published P. 1. CONSIDER this you fierce Despisers of all Those who desire Your Reformation in Doctrine and Practice You know where this cursed thing is that causeth all this Disturbance you still hide it but out it must come and be beaten to Powder P. 9. The above is taken out of W. Mather's Book printed this Year 1700. He has been a Quaker these 40 Years WHEREIN you have erred be not asham'd to confess and return for however you are filled with Confidence of your selves you are fully seen to others FRET not at Instruments neither look so much at Them as at that Righteous HAND that is turned against You. YOU have lost your Glory it cannot be hid the Substance is departed tho' the Shadows remain Therefore let Humility and unfeigned Repentance be found amongst You that Glory may be given to HIM who is the Searcher of all Hearts This was Printed 1675 and 1696. BEHOLD They say The Vision that he seeth isfor many days to come and he prophesieth of the Times that are afar off THEREFORE say unto them Thus saith the LORD There shall none of my Words be prolonged any more but the Word which I have spoken shall be done saith the LORD GOD. These following Words were spoken at several of the Quakers Meetings 1699. WHERE any Form without the POWER and where an Image without LIFE is set up and exalted There and by such a People the Worshippers in Spirit and in Truth are Despised and Rejected This is a most Certain and True Testimony He or She that can receive it let ' em AND tho' the Words of the Prophets were Read every Sabbath Day in the Jews Synagogues vet their Rulers neither knew the True SHEPHERDS Voice nor the Voices of the Prophets as saith the Scriptures of Truth * Acts 13.27 And tho' the Words of the Prophets and also of the Apostles are frequently Declared and Spoken in Your Assemblies yet most that pretend themselves to be Ministers of CHRIST neither know HIS Voice nor the Voices of the Prophets nor of the Apostles THIS is the Message I have been made of late to deliver at most of Your Meetings in and about this City And tho' the Words are the Words of Truth and Soberness yet some of your Preachers have not ceased as the Jews of old did to Contradict and Blaspheme the Good SPIRIT of the Ever-blessed GOD by which it was Declared and Spoken And therefore I was made to come hither * White-Hart-Court and at Devonshire-House at this Time to Warn and Caution You to Beware lest that come upon You which is Spoken of in the Prophets and which Paul also Spake to the Jews viz. BEHOLD ye Despisers and Wonder and Perish for I will work a Work in this Your Day I say in this Your Day which You will not Believe altho' it should be Declared unto You. AND thus having Faithfully Performed what is Required of Me at this Time I am to leave You and to Depart in Peace The Conclusion AND now I shall Conclude with a few words of Counsel and Advice not only to my nearest and dearest Relations of what kind soever but also to Those who have been more particularly concerned and ingaged in Discovering and laying open the Immoralities and Miscarriages of the highest pretenders to Religion viz. OH that every one of You who have seen the Evils and Miscarriages of others might make a deep search into your own Hearts and see if you are not guilty before the Invisible and All-seeing EYE of some Iniquity or other that offends His Divine MAJESTY which if upon a diligent search you find your selves Guilty my Desire my Request yea my Hearty Prayer both for you and my self is That we may never let HIM rest till HE hath Cleansed Purged and Purified us from all Secret and Hidden Sins and from all Filthiness of Flesh and Spirit And this I beg in the Name and for the alone and only sake of our for Ever Blessed LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST who gave himself for us who truly Love Fear and Obey HIM that HE might Redeem us from all Iniquity and Purifie into Himself a Peculiar People Zealous of good Works This is that happy State and blessed Condition which my self with some others for these many Years have been labouring and pressing after and which through the Infinite Mercy of the great GOD after much Waiting Stilness and Retir'dness we have in some measure attained And therefore cannot but in true Love advise you all my Dear Friends to be like minded in labouring for and pressing after the Same that so you may reap the Benefit and I the Comfort of all the Desires and Prayers which have been made either for you or my self J. P. BEHOLD the Goodness and Severity of GOD On THEM which are fallen Severity but towards VS Goodness if we continue in HIS Goodness otherwise WE also shall be cut off And THEY also if THEY abide not still in Vnbelief shall be Grafted in for GOD is able to Graft THEM in again BLESSED and Happy yea for Ever Happy will they be who hears the Word of GOD near or in their Hearts that keeps it and is in all saithfulness obedient to it such will stand as fixed and unmoveable in the midst of all the Concussions Dividings and Shakings that at present are or are to be in Church or State as a firm Rock in the midst of a rough and tempestuous Sea This is a certain sure and true Testimony he that can receive it let ' em HE shall not be afraid of Evil Tydings His Heart is fixed trusting in the LORD The END
