A58412 A tender visitation of love to professors and profane, but especially to the inhabitants of the town of Waymouth. With some directions how they may try themselves, whether they are yet in their sins, or whether they are come to him that makes an end of sin. Also a warning to all sorts of people, that they may repent of the evil of their wayes whilest the day of mercy lasteth, least repentance be hid from their eyes. Howl ye inhabitants of the earth, for the day of vengeance is at hand, the Lord will stain the glory of all flesh. Being written from the breathings of life, by a hand-maid of the Lord, S. R. S.

the light because their deeds are evil Now this witnesse which makes every man and womans state and conditions manifest is light and this light is Christ Jesus the Son of the living God who was Crucified and slain by the blood-thirsty chief Priests and Rulers who took councel together against him And this Lord Jesus who was spiritually abused amongst the ungodly Generation the same is he which is risen and come in the flesh with power and great glory for the remission of sins and for the justification of many and also for the Condemnation of the wicked who know not God Now that which is to be known of God is manifest within every man and womans heart the word is nigh in the heart and in the mouth look not abroad for it is not without you it is in you make no delay come to a search the pearl of great price lies hid in you you must dig deep to find it you must sell your own wayes your own wisdom your own will worships must you part withall your worldly delights must be thrown aside if everyon come to find the pearl which lies hid in you or to know the true wisdom which God giveth the whole heart must be swept and thorowly searcht if ever the groat which is lost be found The Widow lost the piece of silver in her own house and with a candle she searched till she had found it mark the Widow searcht with the light in her own house for her lost silver she did not search in the dark nor out of her own house but she searcht with a candle in her own house till her lost was found All to the light come every one in your own particulars who are out of the truth of God who are yet in your sins and in your iniquities come forth to the true tryal bring your deeds to the light for the same Lord Jesus who enlightneth every one that cometh into the world is the true way which leads to the Kingdom of God Now all you who are seeking the way of the Lord out of the light you are out of the way you are in darkness and the true way of life there you will never come to find the way which leads to Gods Kingdom is but one and that is a streight narrow way so that none but the children of the light are able to pass that way the hypocrites can never walk in the streight narrow way such as are out of the light knows not the power of God to guide them but they are in the many wayes wherein is confusion and such are talking and sound worshipping of an unknown God who are out of the light life and power of God such know not the true teachings of God for they have not heard his voice at any time nor seen his shape and how can such know the teachings of the Lord who are in darkness and out of the life and power of God who know not his voice neither have seen his shape but walk in the imaginations of their own hearts such are found in the broad way which leads to destruction but the Children of the light and of the day the sheep of the true shepheard of Israel they know his voice they know him and follow him and strangers they know and cannot follow and to them he gives eternal life and such can never be pluckt out of his Fathers hand and such comes to know the true teachings of the Lord God who knows his voice and are led and guided by it but all you who are found scoffing at the light O you are found fighting against the Lord you would go in another way into the true sheep-fold then by the Door but such are thieves which would murther the sheep such cannot enter into the true sheepfold of rest where the whole flock of God finds pasture And now all you who are yet in your sins iniquities who know not the power of God to guide you I ask you where there is not such a thing in you all when you are upon your beds or alone separated from company when you are cool and calm I say at such a time is there not such a thing in you which brings your sins to remembrance and spreads them in order before you Yea the sins of your youth it brings to remembrance and this shews you the danger of sin many times before ever you have committed them and this often strives with you to preserve you from sinning against the Lord and from doing that which is evil but I say to you as I have already said where this true witnesse is not obeyed by such it is crucified and put to open shame therefore I say to you again in the fear of the living God deal faithfully plainly with your selves you who have any honest desires to know the true way of the Lord bring your deeds to the light try your wayes there give not sleep to your eyes nor slumber to your eye-lids till you know how the condition stands with you if you are in your sins the light will discover it to you as you in faithfulness to the Lord keep whilest you are in your sins this will speak trouble to you For there is no peace to the wicked saith my God and if you live in your sins then sin lies at the door and your consciences will condemn you and if sin lies at the door how then dares any of you to pray or sing or sacrifice your will-worships to the Lord Doth he regard the many prayers of the wicked Are they not abomination to him Is it not required That all those which nameth the Name of the Lord Jesus must depart from iniquity Or can the dead praise the living God I mean such as are dead in their sins whiles they are alive O deceive not yourselves God will not be mocked such as you sow such shall you reap if you sow to the flesh you shall reap Condemnation Wo and Misery the Lord hath no pleasure in the prayers or praises of the wicked the Lord is wearied of such services or such sacrifices they have an ill savour in them To Obedience all come for Obedience is better then sacrifice it is truth in the inward parts which the Lord our God requires And I say again to you who hath any honest desires after the Lord be not wilfully blinded come out of your sins live no longer in them for the wages of sin is death O come to him that makes an end of sin and destroyes the Devils works in man the Fountain is open for sin and for uncleannesse it hath this virtue in it it maketh clean the heart and conscience of the Children of men it purgeth from dead works it doth not purge people from some of their sins and leave the rest behind but the blood of Jesus clenseth from all sins although many of you say and your Teachers tell you and Teach you that you can never be freed
