A86656	A word from the north, sounded into the south, heard, and received of many. Jesus Christ the Son of God, which is the true light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world; and all that receive this light, and believe in this light, and are obedient to this light, they receive power and do become the sons of God. And as I have heard, so I have and do see in the true light, and am bold to give forth my testimonie that it is true, and there is no other way to salvation but by it. And therefore do I warn all people, and thee, O Kent, with the citie of Canterbury, and town of Maidstone, and all thy magistrates in you all, betimes to consider and take heed that none of you be anie longer enemies to it and its ministers, lest you be found fighters against God. Thomas Howsegoe.	Howsegoe, Thomas.	1657 (1657)	Wing H3197; Thomason E923_2; ESTC R207540	15,258	22

turn and his voice wil not hear and obey then my wil by you wil be denied your ovvn vvils vvhich are corrupted vvil be done and then I make vvar and none can make peace Novv therefore O ye men of place and authoritie in that Nation and Countie I am moved of the Lord to vvarn you all to take heed what you do in all things committed to your power and trust that you therein be found faithful as the Lords Stevvards and that none of you go beyond your power nor yet from the true Povver the Light of Christ in all your consciences vvhich vvil shevv you if you keep to it hovv and vvhen to give Caesar his due and God his the conscience is the Lords he rules there that must be kept single holie for him I vvarn you Meddle not vvith them that cannot bovv to the vvils of any but God alone touch not Gods annointed harm not his innocent Lambs vvho are as the apple of his eie vvho dare not do their ovvn vvils nor please themselves but in all things him in him all power is and for him at this day stand single and rather suffer the loss of all their outword injoyments then to sin against their God by doing any thing contrarie to the Witness of God within and the Scriptures recorded without I am free to tell you it is a good report of you I mean many of you in thi Countie vvho have not appeared forward as yet to shed innocent blood nor to restrain and imprison the Messengers and Ministers of Christ sent amongst us and if you keep faithful to the Witness of God in your consciences you vvil never do it whatever it cost you And for such of you as are and have been friendlie to truth and the declarers of it I can safely tel you who are single and upright in what you do you do and shal know that your rewarder is nigh you with the Lord our God and for any who are enemies to us and the truth of our God their rage shal he restrain and we shal be enabled with patience and long-suffering to bear his vvil and good pleasure and in the midst of all our cruelties to pray our Father to forgive them they know not what they do Also I desire and warn you all in Authoritie to take heed that you do not lend your ear to the Priests of this Countie that preach for hire and divine for monie and if it be not put into their mouths they prepare war against their Neighbor for that generation the Scriptures of truth declare to be bloodie they smote the Prophets they cried crucifie the Son of God and said he was worthy to die that generation in these daies are little behind them their Fathers eat the Grapes and their teeth are on edge they go so fast as they durst and wait for further power Oh ye Power of the Earth take heed what ye do in delivering the innocent servants of God into their hands for the best of their mercies and cruelties as many prisons in this Nation if not some in this Countie wil witness where many of the servants of the Lord have laine many months because they cannot in their consciences pay them as they call it tithes that idle antichristian beggarlie Rudiment which none of the Ministers of Christ do or durst own or compel the Saints unto but did rather labour with their hands then make their Gospel chargeable to any who said they had freely received and did freelie give and so the Ministers of Christ do now Paul said 1 Cor. 9.14 That God had ordained that they which preach the Gospel shall live of the Gospel Therefore take heed you Powers that you do not go beyond your Power to compel any to pay Tithes to maintain a Gospel Ministrie when God hath ordained that they were to live of the Gospel and should live of the Gospel and not by the Law for if you do compel any to that thing I declare unto you all you are Enemies to God and his children and do inasmuch as in you lieth cause them to disobey the Ordinance of God And you may read that tithes to be paid to the first Priesthood the Levitical Priesthood which was after the Order of Aaron not of Christ the second Priesthood the everlasting offering so all that pay tithes that take tithes are of the first Priesthood they denie the second to be come and the Priesthood to be changed and the Law changed Therefore consider what you do all of you lest you resist the Povver God is the Povver vvhat he hath ordained stands vvith povver and his Gospel hath in it a povver and he that resisteth the povver resisteth the ordinrnce of God and all such shal bring upon themselves judgement So all that vvil be out of fear of the Povver do vvel and so thou shalt have praise o● the same but he that doth evil is under the povver and the Svvord is not placed there for naught but vvil take vengeance on them that do evill vvithout respect of persons Let none deceive you vvith their vain vvords and flattering speeches vvho seeks not the good of your souls but their own bellies and now do the same things the Prelates and Priests did before them by vvhose means much innocent blood hath been shed in these Nations So to that of God in all your consciences I have and do speak which is the witness for God and wil not deal deceitfully with you but wil speak the truth if you wil hear it to all of you and if anie now shal refuse to hear its voice and wil not receive its testimonie which is truth there wil come a day in which the Lord wil have his everlasting witness come forth and if that condemn he is greater so in the mouth of two Witnesses all shal be confirmed therefore now hear and be warned everie one of you and do nothing in your own wils but wait in the pure light of Christ and by it be directed and ordered at all times in all things quench not its motions stay not behinde it neither go before it for if you do you shal be judged and condemned by it And blessed are all those that love the light and walk in the Light and believe in the Light and become obedient children to the Light such have their part in the first Resurrection and over them the second death shal have no power And to so manie as receive him and believe in him and obey him of him they receive power and are become the sons of God But all that denie him before men he wil denie them before his Father which is in heaven So in love to all your souls which are more worth then all the world then all your honor then all your riches I warn you all to minde the light of Christ in you all the witness for God by it to be ordered in everie thing word and work believe it become children of it and if you walk in the light as he is in the light you have fellowship with him and his Father and by his blood you are all purged from all sin but if you denie the light of Christ and wil not obey its teachings by it you shall be eternally condemned and then wo and condemnation shall be your portion for ever This is the Word of the Lord God unto you all whether you heare or forbeare declared and given forth by him who is a friend to all your souls and seeks the redemption of the seed out of bondage and am known to manie of you by the name of Thomas Howseyor THE END
