ONE TRUMPET More sounded out of SION to the Inhabitants of the Earth which they may take as a Warning for them to let ISRAEL go and Worship their God after their wonted manner or else Destruction will the Lord bring upon them Eternally AND ALSO A FEW words by way of Expostulation with the Spirit of CAIN and all those that are found in it and what was CAINS portion in that day and also what will be the portion of these Persecutors who are Successours of CAINS Spirit and persecuteth about Sacrifices and Wroship in this our Day Given forth by one who desireth the Prosperity of SION and the Destruction of BABYLON JOHN IVES Printed in the Year 1664. ONE TRVMPET more sounded out of SION to the Inhabitants of the Earth which they may take as a Warning for them for to let ISRAEL go and Worship their God after their wonted manner or else Destruction will the Lord bring upon them Eternally HEAR and fear oh Earth and hearken what the Lord saith Thus saith the Lord How long will you persist in wickness and not forsake the evil of your ways what is there found in you oh ye Inhabitants of the earth is not the iniquities of your fathers found amongst you Oh what manner of evil was there in your fathers days which you are not found in shall you not receive the reward of your fathers who hath killed the PROPHETS and MARTYRS of JESUS will not the bloud of all the Prophets from ABEL to this day be required at your hands YEA verily and this do I declare in your ears Oh ye Inhabitants of the earth that ye may be once more warned and tremble before the God of JACOB who will consume the wicked and deliver the captives out of BABYLON by a way which you know not for verily the arm of the Lord is stretched forth to deliver his poor afflicted Israel who is afflicted with the tasks of the EGYPTIANS and have long groaned under their burthens BUT the Lord hath heard their crys and deliverance will he bring in despite of PHARAOH and all his host for destruction and desolation will he bring upon you HEAR ye this ye old men and give ear all ye Inhabitants of the land tremble and fear for the day of the Lord is at hand a day of darkness and gloomyness a day of clouds and of thick darkness such as never was before WOE WOE from the Lord God unto the Inhabitants of the earth who hath slighted the groans of SION and have oppressed the righteous seed and doth not at all remember the afflictions of JOSEPH but rather oppresses the afflicted BUT for these things will the Lord render unto you vengeance except you repent for his Decree is against you to destroy you THEREFORE I say unto you all in the fear and dread of the Lord God who have been fighters against the Lord that you now repent before your time be wholly spent and cleave to the light of the Lord Jesus and then will the Lord receive you and give you an inheritance with the faithful who are as dear unto him as the Apple of his eye and cannot bear the afflictions of them though he suffers longer for the tryal of his people yet this know that he will roar out of SION with a dreadfull noise by which the powers of the earth shall be made to tremble and bow before him for his appearrance is dreadful to the wicked and who can abide the day of his coming AND in that day will he be a swift witness against the Sorcerers and against Idolaters and false Swearers and those who oppress the heritage of God which is poor afflicted ISRAEL which hath long been oppressed by the baser sort of people as PAUL was in his day unto which truth we bear Testimony too for PAUL was assaulted when he came to the House of JASON and cryed against by the baser sort these are they which have turned the world up side down and will not obey the Decrees of CESAR but says there is another King one JESUS and this was the cry in all Ages against the truth of God as well as in this our Age as we may read in the Scriptures of truth by the Sorcerers and Idolaters and false Swearers but the Lord delivered his people and destroyed them all THEREFORE howl howl ye uncircumcised mad raging Bulls for misery will be your end for the cry of the Righteous is entred into the ears of the Lord of the Sabbath and a Record of all your doings is standing before the great God of the whole earth who will judge the WHORE BEAST and false PROPHET and cast them alive into the Lake which burneth with fire and brimstone forever AND this do I declare unto you who have the name of Christians but are out of the nature as the professing JEWS was in Christs days who professed the Scriptures which bore Testimony of Christ but when he came they persecuted him and put him to death but these were JEWS outwardly and not inwardly they had the name of JEWS as you have the name of Christians but far from Christians nature For Christ came not to destroy mens lives but to save them THEREFORE I say as you tender the good of your own Souls cease from your cruelty and oppression and let ISRAEL go free who would only pass thorow your Country or else you shall be as stubble And the day that cometh shall burn you up and leave you neither root nor branch saith the Lord of hoste J. I. AND ALSO A FEW words by way of Expostulation with the Spirit of CAIN and all that are found in it and what was CAINS portion in that day and also what will be the portion of these persecutors who are Successors of CAINS Spirit and persecuteth about Sacrifice and Worship in this our day HOw now CAIN what is the matter thou art so wroth what is not thy offering accepted that thou fallest out and killest thy Brother what dost thou intend or what is the cause of thy wroth surely it is because thy Brothers sacrifice is accepted and thine rejected but CAIN why art thou so wroth if thou dost well shall not thou be accepted but if thou dost ill sin lieth at the door and the hand of the Lord shall depart from thee and thou shalt be a vagabond and a fugitive in the earth and all that meet thee shall slay thee because thou hast departed from the Lord in shedding the bloud of the Righteous about sacrifice and worship and now CAIN sad and miserable is thy state for thou art driven out from the presence of the Lord and it is thy sin that hath separated between thee and thy God for the bloud of the righteous cryeth for vengeance and assuredly it will be speedily executed upon the heads of the transgressours who thus fighteth with CAINS Spirit in this our day against them whom the Lord hath raised up to offer a sweet sacrifice which

is accepted of him and because of this thou CAIN art wroth and by thy persecuting with long imprisonments even unto death the righteous thou thinkest to overcome or by thy acts for banishment but CAIN that will not do it s not thy acts which will affright them nor drive them from the Lord or the enjoyments of his presence for CAIN it s neither walls nor Seas which can separate them from the presence of their God which they now enjoy but it s thy sin CAIN which hath separated between thee and thy God SURELY CAIN if thou hadst offered sacrifice which had been righteous would not the Lord have accepted it Yes sure then what need would there have been to persecute about it but CAIN thy sacrifice is unclean and not accepted therefore thou art wroth and persecutest thy Brother which is an infallible token against thee that thou art out of the truth CAIN because thou art found persecuting and killing about sacrifice and worship those that cannot for Conscience sake bow to any graven image which thou CAIN hast set up to be worshipped in thy fallen and driven out state from the presence of God and this is the cause CAIN why thou persecutest them because they cannot bow to the likeness of any thing but will worship their God in spirit and truth Surely CAIN thy punishment is great for to thy offering the Lord will have no respect because thou hast killed thy Brother whose bloud cryeth for vengeance well CAIN if thou believest its lawful for to kill and banish all that cannot for fear of grieving God bow unto thy image which thou hast set up Then give us an instance where ever Christ and any of his APOSTLES banished those that would not come to their worship which was in the Spirit and in the truth surely CAIN thou hast no Scripture from Christ or any of his Apostles for it neither can thou give any instance from them by any Scripture nor any other of the true Prophets except thou goest to ISHMAEL PHARAOH and HEROD who successes thy spirit CAIN for HEROD sought the young Childs life and PHARAOH persecuted the Children of Israel till the hand of the Lord turned against him and drowned them all in the SEA and this was about sacrifice and worship which thou CAIN art found in surely CAIN our God is the same that ever he was he changeth not surely he will recompence thee according to thy doings as well as he did HEROD PHARAOH and ISHMAEL for that spirit of persecution but Cain what hast thou done by all thy long imprisonments or by thy acts of banishment hast thou turned any from the evil of their ways as Christ and his Apostles did who won them by sound Doctrine no none but on the contrary thou wouldst cause them to blaspheme by thy instruments of cruelty but for these things is thy day shortned which is for the Elect sake and a remnant shall be preserved unto God pure and undefiled standing upon the rock on which thou shalt be split and upon the sand shalt thou stick and never remove again for the mouth of the Lord of hosts hath spoken it Given forth from the true fear and dread of the Lord God by one who now suffereth under CAIN PHARAOH and HERODS Spirit for the Testimony of Jesus which is the word of God AND now you persecutors who have this Book to Read Consider it well for your portion it is indeed That have thus fought against the living God Who will confound the wicked with his Rod And you shall feel the stroak of his own hand Who strives to make his chosen dear forsake their native land Wisbech Goal the 14th day of the 6th Moneth 1664.
