Vpon the 22 day of the 8th Month 1659. THE Word of the Lord came unto me saying Write and again I say Write with speed to the Heads and Rulers of this Nation Oh! earth earth earth hear the Word of the Lord and be awakened unto righteousness for the hour of his Judgements are come on the earth yea verily the Lord God of Heaven and of earth has sounded forth an alarum unto the Inhabitants of the whole earth high and low And this is the Word of the Lord to you all you Heads and Rulers of this Nation as it came to me from the mouth of the Lord saying I will confound I will overturn all the powers of the earth both Heads and Rulers that are now ruling and governing in this Nation by the force of cruelty and by the unrighteous power are striving to rule and to govern over the Nations and you yourselves out of the Government of Christ and know not him that should guide you to rule in justice nor in truth for the Lord God but you are rising up against the unlimitted power of the Almighty God to stop it from going through but I say by the Spirit of the Almighty God all your striving is in vain he hath began his work and he will go through until his foes are become his foot-stool and all that riseth up to hinder his work will he bring to nought he will overturn he will overturn Gog and Magog and all the powers of darkness both Priests and Rulers will the Lord God suddenly throw down for behold now is the Ax laid to the root of the evil tree and the Son of God the light of the world is come not to bring peace on earth but a sword to cut down the corrupt tree in every one you must feel the Ax laid to the root of the evil tree within your own houses you must feel the sword of the Lord to pass through in every one to cut down the corrupt tree that hath grown within that hath brought forth the corrupt fruit that hath not pleased God this you must all feel the work of God in Christ to destroy the work of the Devil within you the prince of darkness that hath ruled in the hearts of men but now is the Lord God arisen and arising from his holy Habitation he is come and coming to make War against the prince of this world that hath had the dominion in the hearts of men and he will throw down Kings from their Thrones and he will lay low the mighty and he will bring down the strong from their seats and the princes or this world will he overturn for Michael our prince is come to make War in righteousness and to set up his Throne again over the kingdoms of men and over the heads of you that are ruling and governing of this Nation will the Lord God establish his Throne that he may be known to be the Head and the Governour of his people the one head over the many heads will rule and reign and have the dominion and a thorow work will the Lord God make in you and through you that are now about to set up your own government made without the Councel of God made in your own wills and in your own wills you think to set them up but the Lord God by his Almighty power will break them in pieces and throw them down before you shall have power to set them up yea the Lord God hath beheld your wayes with his all-seeing eye he doth see your intents in secret and he will bring them forth and reward you openly in the view of all people yea the Lord God of hosts is risen and arising and he will scatter you and dash you one against the other if you go on in your evil intents the Lord God is coming to shake you like a leaf to break down your invented imagined Laws made by your evil hearts hearts full of corruption and deceit with guile in your mouths which proceedeth from an evil heart in you the Son of God hath no place the foxes have holes and the fouls of the air have nests but the Son of God hath not whereon to lay his head in the earth but you that know him not to rule nor to guide in the way of righteousness you are in darkness and your works are wrought in darkness and you are out of the light of the Son of God for he that loveth the light bringeth his deeds to the light that they may be known that they are wrought in God read your selves and try you selves whether or no your works deeds and actions are wrought in the light or in God who is light But if you are yet hating the light of the Lord Jesus Christ within your own hearts that will be your condemnation be ye what you will in greatness or in the glory of the world I tell you your condition is miserable and you are without God living in the world you are yet under condemnation and you have not passed from death unto life but are yet children of wrath heaping up wrath against the day of wrath there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit and in the Spirit which is truth in the inward parts Are you there are you found in the path of Justice are you judging with true Judgement the cause of the poor are you setting free the oppressed or are you laying more heavy burdens upon the righteous seed and heritage of God If you are the Lord God of Heaven and of earth will thunder out his Judgements hastily upon you with woes and plagues will he recompence you and sudden distruction will he bring on you for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it and it shall surely come to pass and be fulfilled in and upon you as ever you were created if you sleight the day of your visitation which is hastening and passing away And behold as the day cometh passeth away and cannot be recall'd again even so the night hasteneth and will come wherein none shall work then wo and lamentation will come upon such as are slighting the day of their visitation like Sodom and Gomorrah that the Lord warned by his messengers to repent whom they slighted and repented not and were destroyed Oh! let a serious consideration pass through search your own hearts and deal singly with your own selves and see how it standeth between God and you Whether or no you are acting for God and by the power of God or led to do his will Let Gods witness in every one of you answer and stifle not the pure witness of God but let it deal plainly with you and it will shew you what you have been working and what you are now a working let the light of Christ break through you and let it arise within you quench it not least it condemn you for ever for now
