light pure openings and Prophesies to come a belief that I should see the day and should bear witnesse to his name and so when things opened so fast the wisdome of the flesh catched them and so I went up and down preaching against all the Ministry and also run out with that which was revealed to my selfe and preached up and down the country of the fulnesse that was in the old bottle and so was wondred after and admired by many who had waded up and down as my selfe had and we fed one another with words and healed up one another in deceit and all laid down in sorrow when the day of the Lord was made manifest for I was overthrown and the foundation swept away and all my righteousnesse and unrighteousnesse was all judged and weighed and all was found too light And immediately assoon as I heard one declare whose name is not known to the world but written in the Lambs book of life for ever in eternall record for ever assoon as I heard him declare that the light of Christ in man was the way to Christ I believed the eternall word of truth and that of God in my conscience sealed to it and so not onely I but many hundreds more who thirsted after the Lord but was betrayed by the wisdome of the Serpent we were all seen to be of the foundation and all mouths was stopped in the dust and so we stood all as condemned in our selves and all saw our nakednesse and were all ashamed though our glory was great in the worlds eye but all was vanity And then after all this I was ignorant what the first principle of true Religion was but as I turned my mind within to the light of Jesus Christ wherewith I was enlightned which formerly had reproved me for all vanity and also as I did own it it led me into righteousnesse and when I turned to it I saw it was the true and faithfull witnesse of Christ Jesus and then my eyes vvas opened and all things vvas brought to remembrance that ever I had done and the Ark of the Testament was opened and there was thunder and lightning and great haile and then the trumpet of the Lord was sounded and then nothing but war and rumour of war and the dreadful power of the Lord fell upon me plague and and pestilerce and famine and earthquake and fear and terror for the sights that I saw with my eyes and that which I heard with my eares sorrow and paine and in the morning I wished it had been evening and in the evening I wished it had been morning and I had no rest but trouble on every side and all that ever I had done was judged and condemned and all things was accursed whether I did eate or drink or restraine I was accursed and then the Lyon suffered hunger and the Seals were opened and seven thunders uttered their voyces mine eyes were dim with crying my flesh did faile of fatnesse my bones were dryed and my sinnews shrunk I became a proverb to all yea to them who had been mine acquaintance they stood afar off me the pillars of Heaven was shaken and the earth reeled as a cottage one woe poured out after another And I sought death in that day and could not find it it fled from me and I sought to cover my selfe any way or with any thing but nothing could for the indignation of the Lord was upon the Beast and the false Prophet and Babylon came into remembrance in that day the mother of harlots and the Sea dryed up and all the Merchants that had traded with her stood asar off for the cup of fury was poured forth and Cain was seen and Judas that had betrayed the Lord of life and I would have run any way to have hid my selfe but nothing but weeping and gnashing of teeth and sorrow and terror and I roared out for the disquietnesse of my heart and the kingdome was full of darknesse I knew not the right hand from the left I became a perfect fool and knew nothing and as a man distracted all was overturned and I suffered losse of all in all that ever I did I saw it was in the accursed nature and then somthing in me cryed Just and true is his judgment my mouth was stopped I durst not make mention of his name I knew not God and as I bore the indignation of the Lord somthing rejoyced the Serpents head began to be bruised and the Witnesses which were slain were raised and stopped Heave● that it rained not in the dayes of their Prophesie and a great samine there was and the Sun was darkned and the Moon turned into blood and the Stars did fall and all the grasse of the earth withered and every green tree and all the springs were dryed up and a great and a noysome smell and a plague fell upon the earth and the waters became as the blood of a dead man and the Heavens passed away with a noyse and the Elements melted and the earth was scorched with the flame which proceeded from the Throne of God and the Judgement Seat of Christ was seen and an account was to be given and then Esau was cursed and Cain and Judas and Ishmael and all the Cananites and the Egyptians went to the left hand and as the Judgement was pronounced something cryed Just art thou oh Lord in all thy judgements and as I did give up all to the Judgement the captive came forth out of prison and rejoyced and my heart was filled with joy and I came to see whom I had pierced and my heart was broken and the blood of the Prophets I saw slaine and a great lamentation and then I saw the Crosse of Christ and stood in it and the enmity slaine upon it and the new man was made and so peace came to be made and so eternall life was brought in through death and judgement and then the perfect gift I received which was given from God and the holy Law of God was revealed unto me and was written in my heart and his feare and his word which did kill now makes alive and so it pleased the Father to reveal his son in me through death and so I came to witnesse cleansing by his blood which is eternall Glory unto him for ever and am a Minister of that word of eternall life which endures for ever Glory unto his name for ever and have rest and peace in doing the will of God and am entred into the true rest and lie down in the fold with the lambs of God where the Sons rejoyce together and the Saints keep holy-day Glory unto him for ever And these few things have I written for your sakes who walk in darknesse that you may see where you are and also ye high Cedars who trust in the arme of flesh that you may cease your boasting and com● down from off the pinacle where you are exalted for the same must come upon you
