A42756	A warning and visitation to the inhabitants of Godalming All you that read this, be not rash, but weigh it right with the true weight, and the even ballance, the ballance of the sanctuary, and then you will not judge amiss of it; for it is not in hatred or reproach to any, but in love to all souls, in plainness and truth. And you inhabitants of Godalming, be warned, and seriously consider of this visitation; for the spirit of the Lord yet strives with you as with the old world, but they not taking warning, were drowned: therefore prise your time, and despise not the reproof of instruction, for such are brutish; but reprove or instruct a wise man, and he will love thee; reprove a scorner, and he will hate thee; but the reproof of instruction is the way of life to the wise; and a wise man will hear and increase in wisdom: be calm therefore, and learn of the light which is the way and the truth. T.P.	Gill, Henry.	1658 (1658)	Wing G742A; ESTC R219870	5,512	8

And now do ye hate me because I bear testimony against your evil deeds in love to your souls Or the more I love you the less I am beloved of you For greater love hath no man then this that a man lay down his life for his friend So for your sakes I bear all things if by any means I may gain some for my bowels yearns over the Seed of God which lyeth in captivity and longs to see his deliverance from under the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the sons of God For this is the mighty day of the Lord wherein all shall be left without excuse and your destruction shall be of your selves O! that ye did but know how the Lord doth wait to be gracious and how often he knocks at the door of your hearts and ye will not let Christ into your hearts but le ts sin dwel there ye have no room for Christ for your hearts are taken up with other guests and Christ in the manger trampled upon with every unclean thing which dwells in your hearts though he check you often vvhen you do evil Is there none that is tender-hearted amongst you Are you altogether turned out of the way And is your own ways best Is your pleasure better then Christ and more esteemed by you then eternal life that ye refuse him that makes an end of sin that ye will not turn at his reproof Will ye alwayes kick against that which pricks you in the conscience for sin Consider what will be the end of sin for it brings death then what assurance of life have ye But if ye find that the witnesse of God in your hearts or consciences give you not assurance of life then return to it your hearts and minds to believe in it and obey it so may you become the sons of God but if you refuse to obey the light which manifests sin within then the wrath of God you cannot escape Therefore be warned and repent and come down from your high thoughts or imagining that God accepts of you or your performances for he accepts onely of his Son and so those that are in his Son he accepts of them and their performances for he is worshipped and served in spirit and in truth but none can worship there that live in sin as ye do who are after the Steeple-house worship which is fleshly and carnal worship but they that worship God in spirit have no confidence in the flesh but from it are redeemed Therefore I say trust not in your Steeplehouse-worship for God abhors it and all your worship who are not turned from swearing and lying and evil-speaking and such like wickedness which is common amongst you therefore fear the Lord God every where and turn your minds in to feel after him that ye may find him who is a spirit the invisible God onely known in and by the spirit revealed and now is the day that he will be found of those that seek him in truth and in sincerity but he hides himself from the wicked and covetous priests and people for that is not to be named among Saints it is Idolatry such is your Steeple-house Worship and all the wicked that know not God Therefore be awakened to righteousness that is righteous which calls and cryes against sin in your hearts and that will guide you to God if you obey it but if that ye disobey it it wil be your condemnation Therefore prise your time and while you have time fear God and the fear of God is to depart from sin and slight not the day of your visitation but take warning before it be too late From him who is witnessed by that of God in your consciences to be a lover of your souls who is known to you by the Name of Henry Gill. Something of a Letter sent to one newly convinced MY bowels over thee yearns to meet thee in my Fathers love to lie down in everlasting peace with the Lambs of God where none can make them afraid my soul longs to meet thee there but truely first thou must bear the indignation of the Lord because thou hast sinned against him therefore freely give up to him that which is for the sword to the sword that which is for famine to the famine and keep nothing back though the Devil will shew thee the glory of the World and tell thee thou may have it if thou wilt deny the light in thy conscience or Christ which hath convinced thee and fall down and worship him or if he tell thee thou shalt never be able to overcome the World and that the World will hate thee and thy friends and it may be some of thy House and thou findest little strength within but trouble on every side fears within and without and thou seest sin exceeding sinful and when thou wouldest do good evil is present with thee though it be so faint not at it look not at that but look at that which manifests it to thee and wait patiently upon the Lord and keep thy mind in to the light and love that which shews thee thy condition and wretched estate and join with that and be of good chear saith Christ I have overcome the World take his yoke and strength thou wilt feel against sin and power over it as thou art faithful to that which is made manifest to thee till every thought be brought in subjection to Christ and thou be found naked not having thy own righteousness but that which is wrought by Christ so stand still and become a fool that the Wisdom of Christ thou maist receive and keep thy mind from wavering and being tossed to and fro but keep in to the light where the Doctrine of Christ is learned so thou wilt not be tossed by the windy Doctrines of men of corrupt minds which have the cunning sleights to deceive the simple such lye in wait and have the true Prophets words but out of their life and such would keep people alway under the condemning power of the Law but the power of the Gospel which saves from sin they come not to believe in and so are not saved by it but still they sin and are condemned by that of God in them which is the Law which is Light and here are all Steeple-house-people and priests and all professors mudled in the dark and cannot get out because they own not the light to lead through condemnation to peace but I say to thee Be of good chear though wrath be heavy on thee and the way hard and narrow the transgressor must feel Judgement for through Judgement is redemption witnessed So consult not with flesh and blood but keep in thy mind and the day wil dawn and the day-star will arise and peace and refreshment to the Seed wil be known to refresh power thou wilt receive to rule in thy heart but take heed of being disobedient to the light which reproves for then barrenness and unfruitfulness and the anger of God and his rebukes in flames of fire but join with the pure that moves against sin and the birth immortal thou wilt know in thee brought forth O how am I pained till this be accomplished least thou shouldst faint in the Wilderness where other Professors and Steeple-house-people are there is no Water to refresh the plant of my Fathers renown but their Waters fails and the Rock they know not But seeing the Lord is bringing forth his Seed take heed of Pharoah's nature that must be plagued and drowned that the Seed may serve the Lord so take heed that thou murmure not in the Wilderness but wait on the Lord patiently so my love in tender bowels is to ●●●…e hoping the Lord will remember his own which ha●● lain in captivity thou must pass through the Sword to the Tree of life take heed of feeding on the Tree of knowledge for there are the Professors and Priests of the World feeding and imagining to build Babel but they are now scattered and confounded for the Lord is come down but seek not thou with them for an easier way then through the Judgement by that which judges all evil and looke not at the greatness of thy sin but prise that which saves thee from any one and power thou wilt feel increase as thou art obedient So the Lord God of Power preserve thee to the end and in the end Henry Gill.
