A44798	The measvring rod of the Lord stretched forth over all nations and the line of true judgment laid to the rulers thereof wherein all governours and rulers, potentates and powers are measured, and all governments and lawes weighed in the true weight : wherein they all may see how far they are degenerated from the law of righteousness, and the rules of wisdome, which was in the beginning, before tyranny, and persecution, and rebellion had shewed it selfe : also shewing the end that will come upon all those rulers and governments, rulers and lawes that have been made in the apostacy, which is to all overthrown ... : also an advertisement to all the rulers upon the earth ... : published for the information of all the rulers upon earth ... / by one who waits to see the kingdoms of the world to become the kingdomes of the Lord ...

slain the first-born of Egypt at which Pharaoh and all his wise men and all the Egyptians are angry and still resists the Lord till they will with the rest who have resisted him be swallowed up of the Deep And now oh Nations who are scituated under the whole face of the Heaven he is coming up against you as a Giant refreshed with wine and shall run his course and none shall be able to stop his way and shall come as Israel after the slaughter of Edom with their Garments red and he travails in the greatness of his strength and shall make all Nations desolate who have given their power to the Beast and will break their Covenants and throw down your traditions which are Heathenish and he is bringing a handfull out of the North Country who have been eye-witnesses of his power Majesty and Glory and of his noble Acts and though but a handfull yet they are blessed and his increase shall be great for they shall subdue Nations and Kings shall be tributary to them and they shall be his Witnesses to the ends of the World and shall publish his Righteousness from Generation to Generation bear their testimony of him who lives for ever and ever who is the Lord of Heaven and Earth our Righteousness who hath broken open the Seals of the Deep and hath made the springs of Life to flow forth as though it issued out of a Wombe by which his little ones are refreshed and grow in strength honour and glory to him in the highest whose judgements are just holy pure and equall for ever and ever Oh who can stand before him who hath uttered forth his voice before his Camp and its very great devouring fire is before him and it is tempestuous round about him and his sword devoures much flesh and all the ungodly shall be slain heaps upon heaps so that there shall be none left to bury the dead A glorious high Throne hath he erected and he sits thereon and judges in righteousness even he before whose face the Heaven and the Earth shall fly away and the Sea be dried up oh who can dwell with d●vouring fire who can dwell with everlasting burning who can stand when he appears when he draws out his sword of Justice all Nations shall grow pale and all the rulers feeble and the Warriour shall not find his hands in the day of batta●l when they encounter with the Almighty for his sword shall be fatted with slaughter and all Nations who resist shall become soked with blood Oh he is dreadfull who can stand when he appears who is a consuming fire therefore all Rulers in Nations and Potentates of the Earth feare and dread his holy name and bow unto his righteous Scepter least you be cut off and perish with the rest of the uncircumcised who have resisted him and go down into the nethermost Hell for ever for assuredly the day of your fanning and trying is near arme your selves put on your Armour see if you be able to stand in the day of the Lord Oh nay you will all be as dust before the whirl-wind and shall be scattered in the fierce anger of the Lord and all your changeable Laws Constitutions Customs and Traditions which is brought forth from the changeable principle which is gone out from the life and all your turning of th●ngs upside down shall be as the Potters clay for he unto whom the eternall being hath committed all Judgement which he hath appointed to judge in righteou●ness is appearing and come and coming who si●s as a Refiners fire and sits as Judge among the Gods who will not give his glory and honour to any other And so all you that b●are rule and not by him who is the true light which in●ightneth every man that cometh into the World your p●wer other is from another even from him who is 〈…〉 with the light for by me saith the L●rd K●ngs rule and Princes decree Justice and such as were obedient un●o his righteous Law written in their hearts as David Solomor Jehosaphat Ezekiah and the rest of the holy Kings and Princes who were guided by that which was just unchangeable they ruled by his power and decreed Justice and answered that which was just in every mans conscience which is one with that power in which they ruled and from whence they acted and so a terrour they became to none but evil doers who were out of the power and out of the truth and in that nature which stood up against that powers by which the Princes decreed Justice and so with the power of God all these Rulers and Rules and Governments which is not according to the power of the just God is to be abolished at the coming of him whose day shall come and in his power and glory he shall appear which shall darken and dazell extirpate and utterly destroy all root and branch together who is out of his power and against it so there shall be a very great overturning such as hath not been from the beginning neither shall be ever hereafter And then shall the Restorer be seen who shall restore the Earth into its first purity and there shall be Judges as at the first and Counsellers as at the beginning then shall the Earth injoy her rest and the Nations their Sabaoth for the Lord of glory hath considered it and he hath listened and a great cry is heard out of all Nations of the poor and of the opressed and of his Creatures which he hath made how they have been chopped to pieces as flesh for the Pot and ground to dust as though they had not been Gods workmanship and his seed in al● Nations hath been held in great captivity whose sighes groanes and tears hath pierced through the Clouds and is entered to the Throne of God who is now arising to plead the cause of the poor and the needy and now woe to the World and to all them that have borne rule but not by the Lord An advertisment to all the rulers upon earth THere is one onely God the Creator and the bringer forth of all things whose way is equal and whose Judgements are just whose Law is righteous whose Statutes are pure answering his own pure Witness in every man under the face of Heaven in all Nations upon the Earth so as every man in all Nations upon the Earth comes to own Gods pure witness in himself placed by the Lord he shall be made to confess unto the righteous acting of those Rulers who rule in righteousness by the righteous law of God but where any Ruler is not ruled himself by that which is pure of God which condemneth self and self-actings in himself He bears rule but not in Gods Dominion and so layes yoaks upon a Nation Country or People to make all submit to his will decrees and ordinances and to deny that which is pure of God in themselves and then joyns to his deceit and thus iniquity
