A76237	A seasonable warning and word of advice to all papists, but most especially to those of the kingdome of France; for them to turn from their idolatry, and gross superstition, and speedily to repent, and hast to meet the Lord by amendment of life, least he come on them, and smite them unawares ... / Charles Baily.	Bayley, Charles, 17th century.	1663 (1663)	Wing B1473A; ESTC R170471	59,588	68

women captive laden with sin and divers lusts and though they are ever learning of their Teachers yet come not to the knowledge of the Truth which would make them free from sin and lust and bring into that life which was before a lie was And this is not the fruit of the Popes Ministers for the furthest they bring people to is to bring them to be zealous to pray to a dead stock or stone which they make like unto men and women and tell them it is the likeness or representation of God and Christ and the Virgin Mary St. John St. Peter and the like and the Mistery of iniquity hath so wrought amongst them that though they manifestly prostrate themselves before them yet they say it is not to them which is darkness unheard of in Generations past And they are not content to commit this abominable Idolatry themselves but would constrain all others to do the like as witness the Protestants in this Nation who are constrained to shun and avoyd the way when one of these their Gods is carryed about else the people are ready to stone them if they do not put off their Hats or bow unto them These things are cause of sadness to the hearts of the righteous to consider therefore God will overturn it and cast it into the pit of confusion from whence it sprang even from Mistery Babylon where the Whore sitteth who hath made all Nations about her drunk with the Cup of her fornication which hath been forced upon people by the power of the Beast through the Inchantments of the false Prophets but their torment is near and hastneth apace to come upon them for the Whore and painted Harlot which rides upon the Beast and the false Prophets which attend her shall be taken and cast into the lake which burns with fire and brimstone for ever These are true and faithfull sayings which shall shortly come to passe and blessed shall all they be in that day which have not received the mark of the Beast in their hands nor in their foreheads for they onely shall live and reign for ever with him whose right it is to reign over all Nations and for his sake will God overturn overturn overturn untill his holy will be accomplished and the Nations shall never see peace more untill that day for the mistery of iniquity hath fully wrought and he that hath let shall be taken out of the way in this the day of Gods Allmighty power in which he will thresh the Mountains to dust and will honour his Saints so that they shall have power to bind Kings in Chains and Nobles in Fetters of Iron who also will turn the wisdom of the wise backwards and will make the Diviners mad and turn the counsels of their Achitophels into foolishness In this day the churl shall no more be called liberall neither shall he that doth wickedly be called good light shall not be put for darkness nor darkness for light without a manifest Woe and Judgment upon him which doth it saith the Lord God Allmighty who hath been as a stranger amongst the sons of men as though he had not created them yea more a stranger and unknown unto the chiefest of men than the Ox is to his Owner or the Asse to his Masters Crib It doth even pierce my heart to consider the wofull degeneration of mankinde who was created in the Image of his Creator and whilest he remained in that holy Image nothing but righteousness was wrought by him and he enjoyed the peace of God in him and in this state there was no oppression but through disobedience he was driven from his maker by giving ear to another Teacher by which means he was lead unto lust and uncleanness and to commit it with greediness yea to drink up iniquity as the Ox drinketh up water so as he naturally did at first obey the will of his Creator by which means he was wholly a Servant unto God bringing forth the works of righteousnesse and holinesse so through disobedience he became a Servant to Satan bringing forth nothing but sin and corruption even to the grieving of his Creator so that it repented him that he had made man yet he bore their iniquity untill the measure thereof was full and then swept them away with the flood of his wrath and from that day hath born and forborn the iniquity of many People and Nations untill this your time even untill the filling up of the largest measure of iniquity that ever yet was known so that righteousness is not to be found in the earth nor in the Inhabitants thereof therefore as sure as the righteous Judge of Heaven and Earth destroyed the old world with the flood of his wrath so will he this by fire which is already kindled in the Nations though at present they perceive it not but it shall overtake them unawares Therefore this is sent as a warning unto this Nation of France that they may take warning thereby and repent least they be consumed by the flame and fire of Gods wrath and indignation which is ready to break forth upon them And now ye people of this Nation seriously consider high and low rich and poor bond and free male and female what ye are a doing and with the light of Christ Jesus wherewith he hath enlightned you search whose works ye are a doing and who it is you obey and whose command you have for the things you do whether from God or from men for assuredly according to the Traditions of men God cannot be worshipped nor served for God is a Spirit And the true Worshippers worship him in Spirit and Truth and by such only is he worshipped therefore cease from all your Task-masters which lay heavy burdens upon you telling you that you must pray to the Virgin Mary and to the Saints saying ten Prayers to her and one to God shewing that they exalt her in their Imaginations above God besides this is clear against the Doctrine of Christ who bid them ask in his name for saith he Whatsoever ye ask my Father in my Name it shall be given you Mark that and take good notice of it for he is the only Mediator between God and man 1 Tim. 2.5 For there is one Mediator between God and man the man Christ Jesus for he is the Mediator of a better Covenant than that which stood in outward meats and observations which is established upon better promises and for this cause he is the Mediator of the New Testament that by means of death for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first Testament that they which are called might enjoy the promise of eternal Inheritance Therefore people are to come to Jesus the Mediator of the new Covenant and to the blood of sprinkling that speaketh better things than that of Abel therefore see that ye refuse not him that speaketh from Heaven who saith What ye ask my Father in my Name it shall be
