A Reproof to the Vnfaithful HOw long shall the Spirit of the Lord strive with you O ye careless and Unfaithful ones who are convinced of the Truth of God and come to Meetings confess to the Testimony and profess it in the World and are yet Unsanctified and Unregenerated and so have no part nor lot in this blessed matter of Life Eternal what can you hope for from the hand of the Lord at the hour of your Death and day of your Judgment Will not God remember unto you the Day of your Visitation his Strivings his Waitings his Long-suffering How often he would have gathered you that you might have inherited Substance Awake awake ye Sensual ye Earthly-minded Professors of the Truth that Christ Jesus may give you life for I may say with the Apostle and that Weeping too There are too many unworthy of the great Favour and Mercy of God in this Day who under all their pretences to Religion walk in the way of those whose God is their Belly who Glory in their Shame c. who mind Earthly things pursuing uncertain Riches and trusting in their Store if redeem'd from scandalous things yet abounding too much in more hidden Evils Envy Covetousness High-mindedness medling in other Folks matters out of the Watch out of the Cross that crucifieth the Flesh yet delivers the Spirit to serve God in the Newness of Life Oh! as one knowing the Terrors of the Lord let me perswade you while it is to day to hear his Voice his living Word that cleanses the Young Mans Way And believe in the Light whilst you have the Light that you also may be the Children of the Light in which the Nations of them that are saved must walk lest it pass away from you and the Night overtake you in which the Works of Peace cannot be wrought O Friends your Doom will be most Dismal your End the most Terrible of all others that are called and would not make your Calling sure that knew the Master's Will and would not do it Will not he make such of the Synagogue of Satan who are not Jews inward neither of that Circumcision that is of the Spirit in the Heart and Ear whose praise is not of Men but of God For it is just with God to give such up to strong Delusions and to commit sin with Greediness who hold the Truth in Vnrighteousness and profess it in their own Spirits not in the Spirit and Power of God whose Tongues are their own whose Wills and Affections are their own and under the Profession of Truth can give them their Swings Such as these become the Subjects of Satan's Devices and too often by a loose Conversation or High-mindedness and Unsubjectedness cause Grief and give great Trouble to the Churches of Christ for many may ne●er leave the Profession of Truth that yet may be Troublers of Peace
