12.14 and John saith He that abides not in the doctrine of Christ receive him not into your house neither bid him God-speed least ye be partakers of his evil deeds see 2 John 8.9 10. All people as you will answer it before the Lord and as you tender the good of your owne souls take heed of all these sorts of men these blinde guides and seducing Priests that do not abide in the doctrine of Jesus Christ you have great cause to have a care of them now I have discharged my duty to God in forewarning you of them Look to it for the leaders of the people cause them to erre as the Prophet Isaiah saith in Isa 9.16 And if the blinde shall lead the blind both shall fall into the ditch Mat. 5.14 poor people now look about you and be not deceived with these blinde guides any longer I read over a book set forth by one Thomas Robbins Batchelor of Divinity as he calls himself and Englands watchman Truly England may well be in blindness darkness and Ignorance that hath no better a watchman then such a blinde guide as he is For he is one of those that leads the people on in blindness and would keep them there and so that Scripture is fulfilled The blinde leads the blinde which our Saviour Jesus Christ spoke of in Mat 15.14 See if it be not so and the Lord open all your eyes that you may not run on further into blindness till you cannot get out of darknes● This Thomas Robbins hath stoln the words of the Saints the Prophets and Apostles to make a trade of but never came to know the life of them and so fulfills the saying of our Saviour Christ in that tenth of John where he saith All that ever came before me are Thieves and Robbers but he may expect the just judgement of God that dissembles with the Lord and that steales the words of others to speak of not knowing the life of them but the Lord is against him and such as he is that steales the words of their neighbours as the false Prophets did which the Lord sent his true Prophet to cry out against as in Jer. 23.30 31 32. He might well have called himself England's Blinde Guide and not England's Watchman for he is found a Blinde Guide by those that have the true Guide which is the spirit of truth who are guided by the spirit of God are the Sons of God as in Rom. 8.14 15 16. And are set free by the blood of the lamb to praise and glorifie God and can say with John the Disciple whom Jesus loved behold what manner of love is this That the Father hath bestowed on us that we should be called the sons of God as in 1 Joh. 3.1 But this blinde Guide that knows not the true Guide as in his writing it doth appear he hath many stolne expressions and slattering titles calling drunkards and swearers and liers and proud and covetous and prophane persons such as Esau was whom God hated those that are in the same nature he nuzzles them up in their sins and speakes smooth things to them calling them good people and good christians when as Jesus Christ when he was called good master he said to him that called him so why callest thou me good there is none good but one that is God Mark 10.17 18. ver and he saith good people let us have a care of this time and speaks of false Christs and falie prophets and doth not see himselfe to be one of those that Jesus Christ bids the people that knowes him to beware of those that have eyes to see may see him to be one of them for he is a wicked ungodly person as he himselfe doth confesse in his a page and he speakes against false Christs and false prophets that neither knows the true Christ nor the true prophers by any inward Experience but as he doth confesse he is a wicked and ungodly person and such have nothing to do to take his word into their mouthes to speake of for saith Jesus Christ what hast thou to doe to take my word into thy mouth that hatest to be reformed and again saith our Lord Jesus let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity for saith he though they have prophesied in my name and be found workers of iniquity I will say I know you not depart from me ye that be workers of iniquity into hell prepared for the divell and his angells Math. 25. but this blind guide though falsely he calles himselfe Englands warchman he contends for sin which is the divels practise and he speakes against the people of God that knowes the true Christ manifested to take a way sin and to destroy the workes of the divell as they did that spoke forth the scriptures as in 1 John 3. chap. This blinde guide which calls himselfe Englands watchman may be ashamed of his ministry that hath taken their money so long for that which is no bread neither hath thy ministry wrought any reformation for as thou sayest in page the 4th that there is nothing more used then lying and swearing cheating and cuzening one with another as thou sayest and that which is an abomination with the Lord thou mayest now see what little use thy ministry is of it is abominable the fruits of abominations are brought forth by it and now if thou hadst any grace as thou sayest in page the 2 thou hast but little it doth appear that questions it but as thou sayest if thou hadst but so much grace as to serve the Lord as in page 2 thou mightest blush and be ashamed that thou should be no better a watchman But it is but that the scriptures may be fulfilled his watchmen are all blind as in Isaiah 56.10.11 ver Therfore woe to you and woe to thee thou blind guide woe and misery is your portion And as thou sayest it is time for thee and such as thou art to amend your wicked live as in thy second page Nay surely it is high time for thee to amend thy wicked life that sayest thou art a watchman for a whole nation and sends thy trumpet about to be sounded in faires and markets that those that have eyes to see may see that thou ●●t one of Englands blinde guides and as saith the Lord by his prophet Isaiah his watchmen are all blinde they are all ignorant they are all greedy dumb dogs and shepheards that cannot understand and every one lookes for his gain from his quarter as in Isaiah that 59.10.11 ver Surely England hath been blindly led a long time that hath no better a watchman then thou art a blinde guide that is ignorant of the work of God as thou art Now it is high time for England to looke up to the Lord and remove such blinde guides as thou art who would make Christ of none effect but to talke of as in the latter end o● thy second page which is thy
