The Sound of a Voyce uttered forth from the Mountain of the Lord of Host to awaken the Inhabitants of the earth out of the deep sleep of security THe mighty God of power of Heaven and of Earth is risen and arising yea he is come and coming forth as a man of Warre whose countenance is as the fierceness of a Lyon out of the thicket uttering his Voyce through the clouds and through the gross darkness that covers the face of the earth yea he is come forth as a Lyon to his prey to tear and to rend to divide and to scatter his enemies from the ends of the earth to root out and utterly destroy yea to turn and to overturn and overwhelm the wicked and the ungodly and those his enemies that rise up against him as bryars and thorns to the battel the which he will burn up and consume with the fire of his Jealousie and with the breath of his mouth and the brightness of his Coming and consound them in their counsels and in their plottings and contrivings and destroy their likenesses and images and disperce them in their Imaginations the East-wind shall blow upon them and blast them in their budding forth and in the opening of their blossome And now hear and fear you that are striving with your Maker and fighting against his witness in you Oh return and retire to that which is pure in you to that which makes manifest sin and iniquity and sheweth unto every individual man and woman the thoughts and intents of their hearts and as there is a waiting in it and a giving up to the leadance and guidance of it it will make known the way of life and the path of peace and give power to walk therein For this I have known and as in the presence of the Lord do testifie That it was the Light that shone in my heart that gave me the Light of the knowledge of the Glory of God in the Face of Jesus Christ and made manifest unto me the Will of my heavenly Father and also gave me power to obey and this caused me to depart from iniquity for the which I was hated and held in derision by those that formerly was my companions in sporting and playing in vanity and when I could not for C●nscience sake joyn with them in those things which before time I had done but was constrain'd to forsake them and their ungodly wayes and turned unto him that smote me and wounded me within exceedingly and brought my bad actions to my remembrance and set my faults in order before me the which caused me often times bitterly to lament and to bewail the day that I was born his judgments fell so heavy upon me that oftentimes I wished that I had never been For he made me to possess the sins of my youth but when I in measure came to depart from them as they was made manifest then I to my companions became a taunt and a by-word and was called a Quaker and at me they set their mouths away And thus for departing from iniquity I became a prey and so the ministration of condemnation unto all that in me which was contrary unto God in my own particular I knew and witnessed the which condemned me for swearing and for all vain words and idle communication and in a word for all manner of evill and this made me often to refrain from all those things before mentioned and this caused me to fit solentary and to mourn as a woman that was separated from her husband for enjoying of his presence outwardly upon whom widowhood was come And so I being separated from all those things which I formerly was related to and stood as one naked before the Lord freely given up into his will and this was my desire that a clean separation might be made in me between the precious and the vile And this was glorious in its time and a voyce oftentimes cryed thorow me Give up Give up that which is for the Famine to the Famine and that which was for the Sword to the Sword to yield up that to the death which was to dye that ●o that which was in me ordained of the Lord to eternal life might be preserved from the power of Death and Hell which once reigned and ruled over it and had the Dominion but now life eternal is known and witnessed over Death which once had the Dominion and him that was dead is alive and liveth for evermore And thus through Judgment and condemnation unto all that which was at enmity with God and also the enemy of my souls peace I passed through great tryals and tribulations and troubles for the space of three or four years at the last in this my passage from death to life and from under Satans power to the power of God And thus was I degenerated from the first birth and I was throughly searched and the first born in me was smitten and dyed which bore
