A90819	An alarum of vvar given to the army and to their high court of justice (so called) revealed by the will of God in a vision to E. Poole, (sometime a messenger of the Lord to the Generall Councel, concerning the cure of the land and the manner thereof) foretelling the judgements of God ready to fall upon them for disobeying the word of the Lord in taking away the life of the king : also a letter to the congregation, in fellowship with Mr. Kissin, in vindication of E.P. ...

the_o civil_a law_n if_o that_o will_v take_v hold_n of_o the_o offence_n or_o by_o some_o other_o way_n if_o nothing_o will_v satisfy_v you_o but_o her_o blood_n take_v some_o present_a course_n that_o may_v put_v a_o end_n to_o this_o great_a difference_n but_o if_o you_o think_v this_o be_v too_o gross_a or_o more_o than_o the_o offence_n require_v then_o i_o beseech_v you_o for_o the_o

the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n but_o sure_o before_o the_o lord_n it_o can_v appear_v no_o other_o but_o the_o hunt_n after_o her_o life_n nay_o be_v it_o not_o more_o then_o to_o take_v off_o one_o

the_o same_o spirit_n do_v not_o high_o work_v in_o you_o at_o this_o time_n another_o way_n the_o lord_n give_v you_o understanding_n in_o all_o thing_n but_o if_o her_o life_n be_v not_o that_o which_o you_o aim_v at_o then_o be_v it_o these_o divine_a discovery_n of_o life_n and_o light_n which_o god_n make_v out_o to_o the_o world_n by_o she_o if_o it_o be_v so_o than_o you_o be_v to_o

in_o she_o when_o with_o you_o therefore_o it_o be_v impossible_a now_o that_o any_o good_a shall_v be_v bring_v forth_o by_o she_o do_v you_o not_o hope_v to_o grow_v better_a and_o better_o but_o second_o be_v it_o not_o god_n usual_a way_n to_o manifest_v himself_o there_o high_v where_o in_o time_n pass_v he_o be_v by_o the_o evil_a spirit_n keep_v low_a yea_o do_v he_o not_o suffer_v himself_o for_o this_o very_a end_n many_o time_n thus_o to_o die_v in_o appearance_n and_o to_o leave_v a_o soul_n to_o itself_o that_o so_o it_o may_v see_v what_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o and_o so_o learn_v to_o die_v to_o itself_o that_o so_o he_o may_v have_v the_o more_o glorious_a resurrection_n in_o that_o soul_n i_o beseech_v you_o for_o the_o lord_n sake_n to_o consider_v these_o thing_n as_o for_o her_o outward_a person_n i_o conceive_v she_o care_v as_o little_a for_o it_o as_o you_o can_v therefore_o you_o may_v take_v your_o fill_n of_o trample_v on_o it_o but_o i_o beseech_v you_o be_v careful_a how_o you_o meddle_v with_o the_o spirit_n that_o breathe_v in_o she_o for_o sure_o brethren_n i_o know_v not_o what_o spirit_n manifest_v itself_o in_o her_o while_n with_o you_o i_o be_o sure_a and_o i_o speak_v nothing_o but_o the_o truth_n that_o i_o have_v find_v a_o most_o divine_a spirit_n in_o she_o as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v discern_v and_o that_o which_o come_v to_o the_o spirit_n and_o life_n of_o thing_n and_o in_o this_o methinks_v you_o shall_v rejoice_v for_o true_o i_o have_v hear_v many_o professor_n and_o profession_n but_o to_o my_o knowledge_n i_o never_o hear_v one_o come_v so_o near_o the_o power_n i_o do_v not_o speak_v this_o as_o be_v affect_v with_o any_o person_n party_n or_o opinion_n i_o bless_v my_o god_n i_o be_o now_o in_o his_o strength_n deliver_v from_o that_o though_o some_o have_v false_o affirm_v my_o be_v delude_v by_o she_o but_o i_o be_o confident_a i_o can_v say_v with_o paul_n and_o that_o not_o only_o repeat_v the_o letter_n but_o in_o truth_n that_o those_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v receive_v have_v not_o be_v from_o man_n nor_o woman_n nor_o any_o other_o thing_n but_o by_o the_o mere_a revelation_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o i_o god_n manifest_v himself_o in_o my_o own_o flesh_n and_o therefore_o they_o much_o wrong_v both_o she_o and_o i_o that_o affirm_v it_o but_o especial_o they_o wrong_v or_o speak_v a_o lie_n of_o that_o god_n that_o do_v it_o for_o i_o and_o because_o i_o hear_v it_o so_o report_v among_o you_o i_o think_v good_a to_o write_v one_o word_n to_o clear_v it_o that_o so_o whether_o you_o will_v hear_v or_o whether_o you_o will_v forbear_v the_o word_n of_o truth_n may_v judge_v you_o give_v not_o ear_n therefore_o to_o all_o you_o hear_v though_o from_o brethren_n lest_o you_o be_v bring_v into_o a_o snare_n for_o since_o the_o defection_n of_o the_o church_n man_n yea_o good_a man_n have_v be_v such_o lover_n of_o themselves_o and_o their_o own_o opinion_n that_o they_o will_v speak_v large_o upon_o little_a ground_n to_o keep_v up_o their_o own_o glory_n god_n have_v not_o yet_o undo_v they_o for_o be_v they_o once_o undo_v man_n they_o will_v willing_o be_v what_o god_n will_v have_v they_o however_o the_o world_n account_v of_o they_o there_o be_v another_o thing_n which_o come_v to_o my_o ear_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v give_v into_o the_o council_n by_o your_o two_o witness_n that_o the_o say_a mrs._n poole_n shall_v say_v that_o you_o cast_v she_o out_o for_o difference_n in_o judgement_n and_o when_o coll._n reeth_n and_o

come_v home_o and_o see_v so_o little_a ground_n for_o his_o thought_n i_o think_v he_o have_v but_o little_a comfort_n in_o tell_v you_o so_o and_o then_o brethren_n if_o you_o upon_o such_o slender_a ground_n shall_v act_v in_o this_o strange_a manner_n against_o she_o affirm_v this_o thing_n so_o public_o i_o think_v you_o have_v cause_n to_o be_v humble_v for_o it_o and_o just_o to_o repent_v of_o your_o evil_n i_o desire_v you_o to_o bear_v a_o little_a with_o i_o for_o true_o it_o appear_v to_o i_o rather_o to_o be_v your_o rage_n of_o spirit_n than_o your_o true_a love_n either_o to_o she_o or_o truth_n for_o i_o think_v it_o will_v savour_v more_o of_o a_o true_a christian_a spirit_n if_o you_o have_v first_o speak_v with_o she_o and_o have_v see_v what_o change_n the_o lord_n have_v wrought_v in_o she_o as_o know_v that_o mary_n out_o of_o who_o seven_o devil_n have_v be_v former_o cast_v be_v make_v the_o first_o messenger_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n yea_o and_o she_o must_v bring_v it_o to_o the_o apostle_n and_o not_o the_o apostle_n to_o she_o you_o say_v in_o your_o letter_n that_o you_o leave_v she_o to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o great_a day_n and_o i_o beseech_v you_o brethren_n do_v you_o not_o again_o take_v she_o into_o your_o own_o day_n for_o true_o i_o believe_v that_o day_n in_o a_o measure_n have_v come_v upon_o she_o and_o the_o lord_n himself_o be_v at_o work_n with_o she_o therefore_o do_v not_o fear_v but_o the_o work_n will_v be_v well_o do_v only_o we_o as_o well_o as_o she_o must_v have_v patience_n in_o it_o and_o sure_o this_o be_v the_o confidence_n that_o i_o have_v concern_v she_o that_o she_o have_v see_v evil_a in_o that_o estate_n she_o walk_v in_o with_o you_o and_o certain_o god_n be_v good_a to_o

to_o lay_v down_o your_o life_n in_o the_o field_n sir_n i_o have_v consider_v the_o agreement_n of_o the_o people_n that_o be_v before_o you_o and_o i_o be_o very_o jealous_a lest_o you_o shall_v betray_v your_o trust_n in_o it_o in_o as_o much_o as_o the_o kingly_a power_n be_v fall_v into_o your_o hand_n in_o give_v it_o up_o to_o the_o people_n for_o thereby_o you_o give_v up_o the_o

without_o you_o you_o just_o blame_v the_o king_n for_o betray_v his_o trust_n and_o the_o parliament_n for_o betray_v they_o this_o be_v the_o great_a thing_n i_o have_v to_o say_v to_o you_o betray_v not_o you_o your_o trust_n i_o have_v yet_o another_o message_n to_o show_v you_o i_o know_v not_o what_o acceptance_n it_o may_v find_v with_o you_o yet_o i_o be_o content_a here_o it_o be_v let_v it_o find_v what_o acceptance_n it_o may_v i_o leave_v it_o with_o you_o the_o message_n be_v as_o follow_v dear_a sir_n have_v already_o find_v so_o free_a admission_n into_o your_o presence_n it_o have_v give_v i_o the_o great_a encouragement_n though_o more_o peculiarly_a the_o truth_n persuade_v i_o thereunto_o to_o present_v you_o with_o my_o thought_n in_o these_o follow_a line_n i_o be_o in_o divine_a pleasure_n make_v sensible_a of_o the_o might_n of_o the_o affair_n which_o lie_v upon_o you_o and_o the_o spirit_n of_o sympathy_n abide_v in_o i_o constrain_v i_o to_o groan_v

that_o you_o give_v unto_o man_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v they_o and_o unto_o god_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v he_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o as_o unto_o man_n i_o know_v i_o appeal_v by_o the_o

thereby_o be_v the_o yoke_n take_v from_o your_o neck_n i_o mean_v the_o neck_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o law_n which_o be_v the_o bond_n of_o your_o union_n that_o the_o holy_a life_n in_o it_o may_v
