A31367	Truths caracter of professors and their teachers which by looking through may bring to their remembrance the dayes of old, and how it was then with them, which may evidently shew unto them what hath befallen them since they degenerated from the measure of God, which some of them had in them, and it may also put them in mind of Gods justice and severity towards them ... / by William Caton.

some_o of_o they_o you_o beget_v into_o your_o own_o image_n and_o these_o promote_v you_o and_o you_o flatter_v they_o and_o by_o degree_n in_o process_n of_o time_n you_o come_v to_o be_v invest_v with_o the_o supreme_a authority_n in_o the_o nation_n and_o than_o you_o strive_v to_o wind_v out_o those_o that_o be_v not_o for_o your_o design_n though_o for_o your_o own_o end_n you_o make_v use_n of_o many_o that_o be_v not_o of_o your_o mind_n but_o they_o you_o keep_v under_o and_o by_o guile_n catch_v they_o in_o your_o snare_n so_o that_o it_o be_v so_o with_o you_o for_o a_o season_n that_o you_o may_v do_v what_o seem_v good_a in_o your_o own_o eye_n they_o and_o then_o many_o begin_v to_o sit_v down_o at_o ease_n have_v enrich_v themselves_o with_o the_o spoil_n of_o their_o enemy_n and_o be_v not_o only_o get_v into_o their_o possession_n and_o estate_n but_o be_v also_o plunge_v into_o their_o sin_n and_o be_v become_v as_o proud_a as_o covetous_a as_o self-seeking_a as_o their_o enemy_n have_v be_v and_o this_o many_o see_v in_o the_o light_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o have_v be_v one_o with_o you_o in_o your_o affliction_n and_o distress_n in_o your_o suffering_n and_o servitude_n which_o you_o have_v pass_v through_o before_o you_o come_v into_o the_o seat_n of_o those_o that_o the_o lord_n drive_v out_o before_o you_o and_o when_o those_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n among_o you_o behold_v your_o degeneration_n they_o and_o see_v so_o little_o be_v perform_v of_o what_o be_v promise_v by_o you_o they_o begin_v to_o desert_v you_o and_o many_o that_o retain_v their_o sincerity_n towards_o god_n come_v out_o voluntary_o from_o among_o you_o and_o other_o that_o can_v not_o bear_v your_o action_n but_o must_v reprove_v you_o be_v turn_v out_o by_o you_o and_o even_o at_o that_o very_a time_n when_o many_o of_o you_o be_v in_o authority_n do_v the_o lord_n god_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n cause_n his_o light_n to_o shine_v out_o of_o the_o darkness_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o remnant_n even_o more_o clear_o and_o more_o glorious_o than_o it_o have_v do_v in_o you_o and_o by_o this_o eternal_a light_n which_o be_v the_o same_o that_o have_v shine_v in_o your_o conscience_n whereby_o you_o have_v see_v the_o evil_a of_o those_o thing_n which_o you_o have_v long_o groan_v under_o by_o this_o light_n i_o say_v do_v the_o lord_n convince_v many_o of_o his_o everlasting_a truth_n and_o of_o the_o evil_a of_o destroy_v and_o devour_v one_o another_o so_o that_o many_o come_v by_o the_o arm_n of_o god_n power_n to_o be_v gather_v into_o the_o life_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o you_o profess_v lose_v and_o come_v again_o to_o be_v bring_v into_o that_o tenderness_n which_o you_o have_v lose_v and_o come_v to_o be_v more_o abundant_o sensible_a of_o god_n eternal_a power_n and_o presence_n than_o you_o have_v be_v before_o and_o though_o those_o have_v be_v with_o you_o and_o have_v hazard_v life_n liberty_n and_o estate_n with_o you_o yet_o you_o can_v not_o bear_v they_o because_o they_o can_v not_o bear_v your_o hypocrisy_n and_o deceit_n nor_o suffer_v it_o to_o pass_v unreproved_a therefore_o do_v you_o turn_v your_o hand_n against_o they_o that_o be_v your_o dear_a friend_n and_o begin_v to_o make_v league_n and_o covenant_n with_o such_o as_o have_v now_o prove_v your_o enemy_n indeed_o rest_v and_o creep_v into_o fellowship_n with_o they_o and_o so_o sit_v down_o and_o settle_v yourselves_o in_o that_o which_o be_v not_o your_o rest_n and_o then_o by_o degree_n creep_v into_o society_n and_o some_o get_v into_o one_o form_n and_o some_o into_o another_o and_o many_o become_v presbyterian_n and_o strive_v to_o draw_v if_o it_o have_v be_v possible_a all_o man_n after_o they_o into_o that_o form_n in_o which_o there_o be_v and_o yet_o to_o this_o day_n be_v some_o as_o bad_a as_o those_o that_o you_o suffer_v under_o many_o year_n ago_o so_o in_o process_n of_o time_n many_o come_v to_o see_v by_o the_o light_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o they_o be_v not_o in_o the_o right_a way_n and_o so_o leave_v they_o and_o go_v forth_o from_o that_o in_o themselves_o by_o which_o they_o have_v see_v their_o covetousness_n their_o rigidness_n and_o the_o emptiness_n of_o their_o form_n and_o so_o go_v too_o among_o they_o call_v independent_n who_o in_o some_o thing_n have_v a_o more_o show_n of_o godliness_n themselves_o though_o but_o in_o a_o few_o than_o the_o presbyterian_n have_v but_o in_o a_o certain_a time_n their_o ambition_n and_o arrogancy_n appear_v their_o covetousness_n and_o self-conceitedness_n which_o become_v a_o burden_n to_o such_o as_o retain_v their_o zeal_n and_o tenderness_n towards_o the_o lord_n and_o many_o such_o honest-hearted_a and_o self-denying_a people_n come_v out_o from_o among_o they_o and_o can_v not_o be_v content_a to_o keep_v at_o a_o distance_n from_o all_o till_o the_o lord_n show_v they_o who_o be_v his_o flock_n and_o where_o they_o do_v feed_v and_o rest_n 7._o and_o therefore_o do_v they_o run_v to_o the_o anabaptist_n so_o call_v who_o differ_v much_o in_o judgement_n from_o those_o with_o who_o they_o have_v walk_v but_o in_o process_n of_o time_n the_o light_n of_o the_o lord_n manifest_v the_o emptiness_n of_o their_o invention_n as_o it_o have_v do_v the_o looseness_n of_o other_o professor_n who_o have_v lose_v their_o tenderness_n towards_o god_n etc._n which_o they_o seem_v to_o have_v when_o they_o first_o settle_v in_o the_o form_n before_o mention_v which_o many_o by_o run_v into_o they_o from_o that_o of_o god_n in_o themselves_o lose_v and_o so_o become_v dead_a dry_a barren_a and_o unfruitful_a as_o many_o of_o you_o be_v who_o be_v as_o it_o be_v scorch_v and_o wither_v as_o tree_n of_o the_o heath_n without_o sap_n in_o the_o desert_n 6._o where_o you_o may_v behold_v your_o figure_n and_o when_o it_o come_v to_o be_v thus_o with_o you_o than_o many_o such_o as_o be_v tender_a among_o you_o and_o can_v not_o find_v he_o who_o their_o soul_n love_v 2._o while_o they_o continue_v in_o your_o form_n come_v by_o the_o arm_n of_o the_o lord_n power_n to_o be_v pluck_v out_o from_o among_o you_o as_o fire_n brand_v out_o of_o the_o fire_n and_o then_o many_o of_o you_o come_v to_o be_v offend_v and_o your_o indignation_n come_v to_o be_v kindle_v against_o they_o as_o the_o wrath_n of_o your_o adversary_n be_v kindle_v against_o you_o in_o the_o day_n of_o your_o tenderness_n and_o then_o do_v you_o instead_o of_o pay_v your_o vow_n which_o you_o make_v unto_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o day_n of_o your_o distress_n add_v unto_o the_o affliction_n of_o the_o affl●cted_a and_o begin_v to_o augment_v the_o oppression_n of_o the_o oppress_a and_o do_v behave_v yourselves_o so_o uncharitable_o towards_o a_o suffer_a people_n even_o as_o if_o you_o yourselves_o have_v never_o be_v acquaint_v with_o suffer_v tenderness_n so_o when_o you_o have_v lose_v the_o tenderness_n that_o be_v in_o yourselves_o you_o exalt_v yourselves_o over_o they_o that_o be_v tender_a and_o make_v a_o prey_n upon_o they_o and_o cast_v they_o out_o from_o among_o you_o out_o of_o place_n of_o authority_n out_o of_o power_n and_o out_o of_o your_o church_n fellowship_n and_o then_o prefer_v shallow_a selfish_a prate_v and_o deceitful_a man_n that_o will_v comply_v with_o you_o for_o their_o own_o end_n above_o discreet_a sober_a honest_a and_o conscientious_a man_n that_o fear_v god_n when_o they_o can_v not_o swear_v nor_o bow_v to_o you_o nor_o give_v you_o flatter_a title_n do_v you_o not_o then_o and_o often_o upon_o that_o very_a account_n lay_v they_o aside_o esteem_v they_o unfit_a to_o be_v in_o any_o place_n of_o
