A61905 A warning unto apostates & backsliders that formerly have made a profession of the truth, but walk not answerably thereunto but are crucifying to themselves afresh the Son of God, and putting him unto open shame, and thereby are treasuring up wrath against the day of wrath, and revelation of the reighteous judgements of the Lord : also a visitation and warning to all workers of iniquity, that they may repent and turn to the Lord with speed, before his dreadful judgments be poured forth upon them / by Richard Stubbs. Stubbs, Richard. 1673 (1673) Wing S6083; ESTC R31962 14,947 22

let their Profession be what it will without Holiness of Life it is impossible to please God the Profession of the Truth it self will little avail any without the Possession thereof it will but increase their Condemnation but they that walk in the Light and mind the Appearance of Christ Jesus in their own Hearts these come to have Fellowship with the Lord And here I speak not of things at a Distance or because it is thus written but what I find in my own particular to be true And as a Holy Harmless Innocent Life comes again to increase and grow up So Favour with the Lord and Communion and Fellowship with the Light of Jesus and also with as many as walk therein again comes to be witnessed and so in a Holy Innocent Life stands the Communion of Saints and here the Forgiveness of Sins that are past is known and the Resurrection of the Body out of Sin witnessed even from Death unto Life from the Death of Sin unto the Life of Righteousness the which is lost by Sinning against the Lord and walking contrary to the Light for so I must call it for in it is no Darkness at all I never yet found any though many through the Darkness of their Minds and Hardness of their Hearts are ready to charge the Sins and Backslidings of them that profess the Truth and Light upon the Truth and Light it self and so many are saying We may see what your Light is And so are speaking Evil of a Thing they know not and so are Blaspheming God and his Tabernacle and them that dwell in Heaven But unto all such I testifie and declare and it is my Testimony for the Lord that the Light which condemns Sin in the Heart never yet did and it is my Belief never will lead into any Sin but when I was off my Watch and was not waiting upon the Lord to be ordered and ruled by him then I was sometimes eating and drinking with the Drunken and so was crucifying to my self afresh the Son of God and putting him unto open Shame even as Ages have done and are doing that are eating and drinking with the Drunken and living wantonly upon the Earth and are crucifying the Just in their own particulars And herein was I captivated by Sin and Peace with the Lord I knew not but Tribulation and Wrath from the Lord seized upon me because of Sin for I was disobeying the Lord and so in that State as I may say was shut out from the Lord's Presence and Favour and at every Entrance was placed a Flaming Sword which the Lord hath placed for the Destruction of the Man of Sin and for the cutting down the Disobedient Nature and none can enter or come to enjoy Peace with the Lord again but as that which hath separated and been as a Partition-Wall be taken out of the Way and so an Entrance is administred again as the Man of Sin comes to be slain by the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God which is Quick Powerful and Sharper then any two-edged Sword piercing even to the Dividing asunder of Soul and Spirit and is a Discerner of the Thoughts and Intents of the Heart And so at this Day Blessed be the Lord there is a Remnant that know the Word of the Lord to be as a Sword with two Edges that cuts every Way even to the dividing between their Souls and that Spirit of Darkness that would not have Christ to reign And also know the Word of the Lord to be as a Fire even as a Consuming-Fire in their own Particulars and so come to know the Briers and Thorns to be burnt and burning up that so Way may be made for the Seed to come forth to the Praise and Glory of the Lord that so his Name may be renowned and magnified above and over all the Powers of Darkness whole Majesty is most Excellent and his Glory to be exalted above and over all that is Mortal and over all spirits of Darkness and over the Prince of the Power of the Air that now rules in those that rebel against the Light of Christ Jesus And a Remnant that have believed in the Light and in some Measure are walking therein do know the Way of the Lord to burn as an Oven which burns up the Wood the Bryars and Thorns and so in some Measure are come to witness the Man of Sin to be destroyed even by the Appearance of Christ the Light in the Heart and by the Brightness of its shining forth whose Glory and Brightness shall yet shine forth even to the Abasement of all Worldly Glory and Greatness and to the Dazelling of the Eyes of the Heathen for the Lord hath determined to exalt his Truth and set his King upon his Holy Hill of Sion and as many as cleave unto the Lord shall live and reign with him but whoever denyes him shall be denyed Admittance into Heaven and the Joy and Peace which is Spiritual and that abides forever they shall never come to witness who vilifie the Light of Christ Jesus and whoever rebell against its Holy Command and Heavenly Operation all such forsake the Fountain of Living Waters and hew unto themselves broken Cesterns that can hold no Water But unto as many as wait for his Appearance and obey his Holy Call they come to witness the Day of the Lord to burn as an Oven and all that is Unrighteous to be consumed or consuming and the Unclean Spirit to be driven or driving out of the Land and so come to know the Heavens to pass away with a great Noise and the Elements to melt with fervent Heat the Earth also and the Works that are therein to be burnt up in this Day of the Lord's Appearance in their own particulars and so are not like the Professors who are looking for a Day which consists of 12. Hours or so wherein all the Outward Fabrick of this visible World and things therein should be on Fire but are come to witness and in their Measures to testifie unto the World that the Day of God is come wherein he is setting Fire to the Earthly Part in Man and the Works that are therein wrought that so he may make Way for the Seed of the Everlasting Kingdom to take root downward in the Hearts and Consciences of Men and Women that so the Fruit of Holiness and Righteousness may be brought forth to the Praise and Honour of him who is carrying on this Blessed Work in this the Day of his Appearance and so know in Measure the New Heaven and the New Earth wherein dwells Righteousness and the Tabernacle of God is with Men as he hath said I will dwell in them and walk in them and they shall be my People and I will be their God But so long as I was captivated by Sin though professing the Truth yet Peace with the Lord I knew not neither was there any Stedfastness in my going but was hurried up
