Who am known to the World by the name of John Gibson He that answereth to a matter before he hears it is as if he cast a stone up into the Air and it falleth upon his own head LONDON Printed in the Year 1663. To THE READER FRiend whosoever thou art that reads this Testimony or Exhortation read it without prejudice in thy heart and despise it not because of my youth for the Lord can manifest himself unto whom he pleases and make instruments for his praise of whom he will and therefore how excellent is his name in all the earth who hath set his glory above the Heavens and out of the mouths of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger Psal 8.12 I thank thee O Father Lord of heaven and earth because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent and hast revealed them even unto babes Mat. 11.25 Let no man despise thee because of thy youth but be thoa an example of the believers in word in conversation in charity in spirit in faith in purity 1 Tim. 4.12 And so read with understanding and without prejudice that thou mayest receive the benefit of it c. This is the mighty day of the Lords power and of his heavenly love mercy unto the Sons Daughters of men wherein he hath made bare his arm in the hearts of his people and hath caused the light of his glory to shine and the beauty of his countenance to be lifted up amongst the Sons of Sion and the Daughters of Jerusa●em which causes our souls to rejoyce and our hearts to be more glad than they who have had great increase of corn oyl and wine c. And therefore the day of true rejoycing is come unto all the mourners in Sion and true gladness I do proclaime unto all the heavy-hearted in Jerusalem for the Lord the mighty God of Heaven and Earth is risen and arising in his mighty power and in his irresistable strength to break down all the powers of darknesse and all the strong holds of Satan wherein he hath lodged this many yeares and made warr with the Lamb and oppressed the just in many thousands But now is the Lord risen in his mighty power to plead the cause of his oppressed seed which hath been deeply oppressed both inwardly and outwardly by and in many thousands and which hath been sore weighed and grievously loaden and deeply oppressed with the heavy clods of the earth which the heart of man hath been affected with and drawn after which hath caused the innocent seed of life to suffer under an heavy and grievous burthen the remembrance of which hath often broken my heart and caused me to cry out in the integrity thereof and in the bitternesse of my Spirit O Lord O Lord wilt thou not hasten the deliverance of thy seed and make a speedy work in the earth and cut it short in righteousnesse for thy names sake and for thy glory and for thy seeds sake which lyeth in bordage and in straight captivity both inwardly and outwardly and thus have I been constrained to cry often unto the Lord even in my infancy and this cry yet remains in my heart O Lord O Lord when wilt thou remove the Rod of the wicked from off the back of the righteous O let it not alwayes lye upon them This cry hath often run through me unto the Lord and I have often received an answer from the Lord and for the seeds sake am I constrained to publish it Thus saith the Lord concerning the seed which is heir of the Kingdome and of the promised Land I can never forget it for it is as the apple of mine eye and it s very tender in my sight though a woman may forget her sucking child yet I can never forget that babe which I have begotten though it be yet unbtought forth and I will remember all my promises saith the Lord which I promised unto my servant Abraham in the dayes of old and in the years past concerning his seed that in his seed shall all the Nations of the earth be blessed Gen. 1 2.3 Chap. 28.28 And I have remembred saith the Lord all the afflictions of my people and all the sufferings of my innocent ones and there shall not one of them be forgotten in the day of account for they are all recorded in a book not written with ink nor pen but with my Spirit saith the Lord and I will remove the rod of the wicked from off the backs of the righteous in my time which shall be in season which time and season shall be a blessed and a joyful time unto all that fear and obey my name and wait in patience to see it accomplished but it shall be a terrible and a dreadful day unto all the opposers of me and my people and this day shall come as a thief in the night when men are unaware of it and my own out-stretched arm shall bring it and the glory and the honour of it shall redown unto my name saith the Lord. And this answer hath been often made unto me by the Spirit of the Lord which hath often refreshed my soul and caused my heart to be glad rejoyce even with joy unspeakable and hath filled my mouth with his heavenly praises And therefore you well-beloved of the Lord and you chosen of the mighty God of Jacob rejoyce in the Lord with me for the fathers love is very great and dayly extends it self to you and to all that truly wait upon his name How hath he filled our cups made them to overflow How hath he made even that which was barren to bring forth fruits abundantly to his own glory and to the rejoycing of our souls and to the exalting of his own name whose name must be lifted up and exalted above every name in the world and at his name must every knee be made to bow and every tongue to confesse for he is the King of Kings and the Supream of Supreams and the Metropolitan of Metropolitans and he must rule over all in his Supreamcy and in his Kingly Majesty and all the Nations in the world must be bowed before him and all the proud and lofty must be subdued under his feet And therefore I dearly exhort all friends unto whom this may come as the exhortation of one of the least of all your Brethren that you all be stayed upon the
