of sobriety and patterns of holinesse to others but on the contrary examples of folly and vanity and instead of being husbands to one wife marriage is forbidden amongst them which is a Doctrine of Devils which the Spirit did speak expressely should come and how these men govern their families may be clearly seen by tollerating of whoredome in such an open manner But whoremongers God will judge and all who tollerate and uphold them shall in no wise be cleer thereof for they are not ignorant that the Scripture saith That the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodlinesse and unrighteousnesse of men and notwithstanding are not onely wicked and ungodly themselves but tollerate and take pleasure in them which commit all iniquity with greediness And this is the apparent fruits of that ye call The Holy City where the Whore sitteth at the Chappel dore to be hired of men Oh cursed abomination that such a place should be called A Holy City but this painting wherewith this impudent Harlot is painted shall decay and all Nations shall see her shame and the true Holy City shall be made manifest unto the sons of men let down from Heaven as a Bride adorned for her Husband into which nothing that worketh an abomination or a lye can enter though the Gates thereof are never shut but stand open day and night in which they shall not need the light of the Sun nor the Moon to give them light who walk therein but the Lamb shall be the light thereof and they shall reign for ever and ever But in Rome they must have wax Candles to give them light at noon-day and all manner of abominable works are committed therein even as Sodom and the Inhabitants of Gomorrah whose measure of iniquity never exceeded them This is not written from a spirit of envy or malice but from a simple heart being truly moved of the Lord thereunto that the simple may come to understand and consider what they are a doing and repent and turn to the Lord to worship him in Spirit and in Truth for such onely he hath regard unto and they who refuse such a visitation of love he will surely smite with a Curse which they will in no wise escape Therefore whilest you have time prize it before it be too late for the Lord waiteth to be gracious unto you Oh thou Nation of France though thine iniquities hath surpassed many yet the Lord stands at the door of your hearts and knocks and if any open to him in this the day of his love he will come in and sup with him and make his abode there so will you become a holy habitation and Temple for the Lord to dwell and abide in so ye will not need to go to Rome to fetch pieces of dead mens bones nor Pardons as murderers and all manner of unclean persons do which she receiveth and harboureth as good Christians and will give them Pardons as many as they will and thus is the hands of the wicked strengthned under the name of Peters Successor who was a true witnesse against all sin and uncleannesse whatsoever who did not settle himself in an earthly possession for he was not his own but the Lords who said unto him When thou wast young thou girdedst thy self and went whither thou wouldest but now thou art old another shall gird thee and thou shalt go whither thou wouldest not which is far from the Popes example just as light is from darknesse Oh ye Inhabitants of the Earth my bowels my bowels yearneth towards you and your captivated state my soul pityeth to see how the shadow of death hath overshadowed you by which means you are kept in sore captivity and bondage but the Lord God of my life hath compassion on you and if you do not wilfully count your selves unworthy of his tender compassion by refusing his love he will rend the Vail from off your hearts and will cause the Light of the glorious Gospel to shine therein which will give you the light and knowledge of himself in the face of Jesus Christ that ye may know that glory honour and praise belongeth only unto him not unto man from whom ye are to cease for his breath is in his nostrils and is nothing to be accounted of and make not flesh your arm least instead of a blessing the everlasting curse shame confusion come upon your heads for ever Therefore give up your selves unto the Lord in obeying his Light in all things that you may come to witnesse a sanctified state even in Soul Body and Spirit that holy pure and undefiled Temples your bodies may be for the Lord to take delight to dwell and walk therein which is the end of all Ministrations Types and Shaddows for this ends them all even to witnesse the Immanuel which is by Interpretation God with us or in us and this is the mistery which hath been hid from Ages and Generations even Christ in his people the hope of their glory So read and the Lord give you understanding to know the things which belongs to your peace and everlasting rest which if you turn to the Light of Christ Jesus in you they shall not be hid from your eyes for as it is written The light of the righteous shineth more and more untill it comes to a perfect day So if you turn to the righteous Light which condemneth you for sin then a perfect and true discovery of all things will be made manifest unto you but if you hate the Light and bring not your deeds unto it ye will be as the wicked that walk in darknesse and know not at what they stumble so be wise lest this saying come justly upon your heads as it is written The wonderers shall perish for God is working a work-in these dayes which ye cannot believe though it be told you A warning from the Lord God of Heaven and Earth is this day unto you all whose day is sprung from on high and hath visited the sons of men for he delighteth not in the destruction of any of you but rather desireth that you should turn from your sins and live for our God is a God of mercy and judgement therefore if you turn unto him by true repentance and forsake your sins which is the only true repentance never to be repented of in which you will come to witnesse judgement and mercy to meet together and righteousnesse and peace will embrace each other in you which is the onely happy and blessed state which never can be known or witnessed but by the death of the man of sin for that nature can never come to have peace but horror and judgement for evermore These are words of love and truth unto you all in and through a true lover of all your immortal souls who is ready to sacrifice his life for his vilest enemies even for those who revile persecute and imprison him as he is at this day for the testimony of a
