waited upon him who hath the living Words that be Spirit and Life and give Life to all that believe and receive them which thing is true in him as God is true forever and in them also who have an Ear open to hear as David and all the holy men the Prophets and Apostles had to hear him who speaketh in Righteousness and maketh War in Righteousness against all Unrighteous Spirits of men by whom the Man of Sorrow that hath been acquainted with Grief hath deeply suffered and doth still suffer in their mortal Bodies who know and love him and be filling up the Sufferings of Christ that are yet behind for his Bodies sake the Church And this I say for the Encouragement of all who love Justice and Equity to see it run down our Streets to sweep away all that 's loose and filthy and to make clean and white even as a Flock of Sheep newly come up from the Washing you that have suffered or do yet suffer for Righteousness sake by Unruly and Unreasonable men who hold not the Head nor the Mystery of his Faith in a pure Conscience be ye not afraid of their Revilings which comes on you by such as are turning back again into Aegypt in their Hearts and making themselves By and Crooked Pathes and a wider Way to dwell in than that which the pure God owneth or giveth or walks with his People in to their great Joy and his own Glory who be the men that have Eyes and see not as God sees who hath not Eyes of Flesh nor sees not as Man sees that cause the Just and Innocent to suffer by their Slanderous and Reproachful Tongues who are not afraid to speak Evil of Dignities and Dishonour them as Christ said to the Jews whom his Heavenly Father did Honour I say as any ones Sufferings abound by these men who are against Justice and Equity and against good Orders and so against our God of Order so shall your Consolation abound and your Comforts be renewed as the Morning upon the Mountains so that you will not be weary nor faint in your Minds whilst the Eye is to the Lord only neither shall this heavy Work of yours which be doing Gods Work diligently become a burden too heavy for you to bear because of the Hand that helps and the Everlasting Arm that is underneath all to sustain and uphold all that love him and dare not be negligent in the Work of God's House and Vineyard for their Lord and Masters sake who is calling all out of the Idle state to be workers together with him therein and Counsellors with him who is the First and the Last the only Potentate the Wonderful Counsellor the Everlasting Father and King of all our Peace which every one of his true Subjects ought to see diligently kept in his Church which is his House But as for the Weeds Thorns and Bryars which as David saith be the Sons of Belial and which I say be Co-workers with their Prince of Darkness who in all Ages stands ready as a Red Dragon filled with Wrath against the Rule and Government of the Man Child whose Right it is to Rule and he shall Rule for evermore when the Wicked our Enemies shall be brought under they shall be caught in their own Pit they have digged for the Innocent and in their own Net which they have privily laid for others shall they be taken and they shall be silent in Darkness But if these things grow up amongst us how will the Wayes and Walks be prepared and cast up in which the Lord delights to dwell and walk with his People Doth not he walk in the midst of the Golden Candlesticks And is it not through the Golden Pipes that the holy Oyl runs from God and empties it self into the Souls of all such that love God's Charge so as to keep it which is to judge his House that they may be with him on his Throne who is the chief Judge judging with him and with his Spirit of Judgment which is a free Gift from him which he hath promised to give to them that sit in Judgment and walk by the way of his Righteous Judgments and such as be of Moses's Mind of Paul's Mind and of David's Mind that the Righteous Judge in Israel he hath said He will never leave them nor forsake them Hearken what a pure Mind was in all these three men for Justice and Judgment the Substance of their Words I shall hereafter insert for your sakes who have either lost your Zeal for Justice or that be climbed up above the Door the meek Spirit into God's House to tread his Courts to offer your vain Oblations to stop Justice and Judgment from running down as a River even as Corah and his Company with their Censers their Incense and Offerings with an intent to withstand the holy Spirit and holy Offering in the holy Men Moses and Aaron this is several of your States and Conditions as before the Lord who hath shewed it me and that searches me and sees my end in writing to be your Salvation and Deliverance out of your own Net and Pit and what are such better than Balaam who had seen the Vision of God and had his holy Will and Counsel revealed to him That God was not minded to Curse but to Bless Israel his People altogether and yet after this he would fain have Cursed them for a Self-end even for the Rewards sake of Unrighteousness which Balack King of Moab and Confederate with Ameleck another Unrighteous People had promised to give him and to promote him to very great Honour if he would come and Curse but the uttermost parts of Israel So Balaam went into the Error as Peter saith of him when he went to ask Counsel of God for a Wicked End whom the Lord answer'd according to the Idol he had set up bid him Go but his Way was perverse before the Lord and his Heart not right in his sight who knows and sees full-well what is in the Darkness of man's Heart but the Dumb Ass speaking with Man's Voice told the Prophet of his Madness and yet he would go from place to place with his Offerings with his Master Balack for with Balaam he and his Promotion was esteemed better than the Lord his Counsel and People just like Baal's Prophets who cryed Peace to the Wicked at whose Table they did eat and like too many of our Parish-Masters and Priests who speak Peace even to all which put into their Mouthes and against the rest they prepare War although with God in Jesus Christ they be in Rest and Peace But Wo to them from the Lord that rejoyce the Wicked and make the Heart of the Righteous sad with their Lyes and Lightness that be pufft up in their Fleshly Mind above the Fear of the Lord where their Tongue is not bridled but what they list almost they can say they can pervert and wrest words and things to gratifie the
