A77549 A certaine warning from a naked heart before the Lord, to the earthly, wise, great, and honourable men, and inhabitants of the earth, and to all among them, without respect of persons, that know not the rocke of ages, the light, the higher power, the sure foundation, the truth, the way, the life, which is the grace that brings salvation that appeares to all men, as saith the Scripture, Titus 2.11. : With a quick loud thundring alarum, sounded in the holy mountaine, of the Lords house of holinesse that the inhabitants and great men of the earth might be awakened, and tremble, and cease from idolitry, and prepare to meet the mighty God, the everlasting light and life of men, who sheweth to man what is his secret thoughts, Amos 4.12,13. : Given forth from the hand of a freind [sic] to the whole creation, and of precious soules (of the sons and daughters of men without respect of persons) that lyeth under the bondage of corruption, a freind [sic] and servant to him that's arising to smite the earth with the rod of his mouth. / Daniel Baker.

single spirit cast out the Priests and Lawyers flattering fauning viperous spirits that was and is the same that did and will betray and murther the just wherfore do not forget but remember that yee have not been only once warned of the things that now I write to you and come to the witness in you and then with it to the Lords work within and without you and seek the honor of God only and away with giving and receiving honor with flattering titles one to another for such are not fit vessells to doe the Lords work in or by in this mighty day of battel between the two seeds or such are in the unbeleife they beleive not in the light that 's arising in his power and greatnesse of his strength who receives not honor of Man What have you not been heer long enough and yet alive on this side the grave and have you not yet perceived the mighty invisible eternall hand of the Lord and his overturnings from time to time and how he hath smote you as in a tempest or storme one against another as potters vessels and who knows but you are yet come to seats of government to do the Lords work with all your might and strength in his fear and dread to be ordered to do or be instrumentall in the way as I have said to do and accomplish what the Lord hath determined shall be throughly affected throughout the Land or to be swept all away in his fury and wrath and fiers fiery indignation if yee faile herein doing or accomplishing the work of the Lord our God negligently Wherefore come down to the eternall true and faithfull witnesse in every of your consciences and let your soules subject to this which is the higher power in you least with it yee be broken to peices and ground to powder by this sure foundation the rock and so your names perish and stink and rot and so become a hissing and by-word to the present and futer generations who have and do yet pretend so much for the Lord God who is trying you O yee tall Seda s and yee shall be as truly waighed in the equall ballance even as them that went before you who all of you shall most assuredly give an account before the throne of the Lamb slain since the foundation of the world when the book of every of your consciences shall be opened and an eye then will be opened in you which the God of the world w●ich his ministers of unrighteousness hath so long blinded and you shall not hide from but read your selves for a great cup is preparing for you and yee shall be sure to drink it up even the dreggs of it tremble be astonished and vomit and be confounded and wish together with the cov●tous hireling Priests that yee had never been born to have seen this age if you quit not your selves like men of truth of God in being faithfull to what the et●rnall eye of the Lord makes manifest what is to be thrown down and overtu●ned and what is to b● norished and set up within and without you and the faithfull witnesse in you will also shew you this as to it yee subject and this eye being kept open in you as it is in th● honest hearted that hold fast their integrity and walk in it in and over these Nations it will behold its enemies afar off as well as nigh and I say this eternall eye hath seen you and what you from time to time have declared and yet pretend to prosecure Now therefore say I again to the h●gher powe● the eternall eye the light in you b● faithfull and I say that will shew you deceit in selfe with its righteousness friendships honour glory worship faith rel gion separation that 's without or out of the spirit as is selfe and all that branches forth of it which is all to be denied and thrown down within and without by the hand the Crosse or higher power to which the soule is to subj●ct in whic● the father is and is to be worshiped in spirit and in truth as do the children of light who dwell and walk in i● and so shall you prosper and the ●and of the God of heaven will most assuredly then be with you and this shall be honour enough for you and you will concent and seal to my testimony when as you become single hearted and faithfull and love nor your lives to the death then you may happily feel a Crown of life Moses reward And friends break of your m●ghty sins by righteousnesse if happily the poor mans counsell or words may not fall to the ground and yet bear with me if I advise you to take heed viz. if you who are in present authority to you is my voice singly and faithfully doe or act or become instrumentall to doe any thing as you are gu●ded by the good meek noble equall right spirit of God which is the higher power and ought to be so in every of you and in every man male and female although in its own most pure being it is so where ever it is but in reference to this viz when the power of darknesse gets over it and oppresseth its ve●tue and opperation and so stops and hinders its working which is long suffering so is its nature so the wicked powers of hasty selfe darknesse comming over and usurping oppresse and exercising Lordship over the just power then that is got up and is falsly called by the unwis● the higher power because it s usurped and got into the place of the just power that 's opprest under it whose right is not to reigne in Gods Temples where he and his dark power that was above the light is thrown down and they that witnesse this cannot honor the devill of whom proud Haman was a figure I say again take heed of a flattering selfe love exalting spirits and this is to be cast out from among you and I say if any of you sing●y do any thing of the Lords work look not so back as formerly yee know many with you have done but let it go so as if it had not been done by you that the Lord God who only is to have a●l the glory which he in no wise will give to another or to selfe may have all the glory and be strong and go on and be a terror to all slothfull unprofitable servants that have gone before you and to all Idols Idolaters false worships and to every evill doer that 's hurtfull and destructive to the Creation and a praise to every well doer whose consciences the light even the light of the Lord Jesus exercised and this same gift or grace of God or light in you as to it you subject will faithfully shew you who such are for with no other eye but this by which they are guided can they be seen and the Lord in the midst of his Jewells hath said I will guid them with mine eye so saith the
