come to a better Mind and then thou wilt see it was thy Will and not God's that desired their Destruction in their Sins For Christ would have all to be saved and come to the Knowledge of his Truth But many will not come to him that they might have Life and so their Destruction is of themselves and their Condemnation just And who are those now therefore that withstand the Doctrine of the Truth which said love your Enemies and seek not the Destruction of their Persons and the Spoil of their Estates but seek by good Doctrine and good Life to bring them out of their Sins And if they will not but rather hate thee for thy good Will be content thou hast quitted thy own Soul and art clear of their Blood And so thou becomest a Sufferer with Jesus Christ and shalt reign with him in due time I say who are these now on the Earth that withstand Truth and continue in the hateful destroying Wayes of the old Jews and Gentiles but such as will not be counselled by the Lamb of God the Suffering Seed who said Learn of me for I am meek and lowly in Heart But are Men of corrupt Minds who account Gain and Worldly Honour and Promotions more then Godliness who cryes Peace to themselves in their Sins And that same Spirit in them which cryes that false Peace in them is the same that stirs them up to Kill Destroy Oppress and Spoil one another for Selfish and Worldly Ends. But the Lord is arisen to judge all these Evil Things and to redeem a Seed to serve him as in the beginning of the Gospel before Antichrist the Murderer got up amongst them that professed Christ in Words but denyed him in Deeds who had a Name that they lived but were Dead from that true Life which was in Christ Jesus whom in Words they professed And though the Passage we feel now to be as hard of coming from amongst the false Christians and Turks as it was for the first true Christians to come from amongst the Jews and Gentiles Yet the Almighty Power of our God is able over all and through all to carry us on to the end whom he hath called and saved with a mighty Salvation ever-praised be his Name and who will yet save his Beloved Seed Israel and gather them from the East and West and from the North and South to sit down with Christ in his Kingdom And this is no ill News to any but who are glewed to Deceit and married to Iniquity But it is good News and Glad-Tidings indeed to all that love their Souls and the Honour and Glory of Truth more then the things of this perishing World And I could desire that all who are apt to reason as the Jews did when they heard the Declaration of the Gospel of Peace and Kingdom of God which stands in Righteousness and Peace saying If we let this go on then the Romans or Others will come and take our Place and Nation I say that they would consider That the very Course which they to wit the Jews in the Denyal of the Truth took for saving of themselves brought utter Destruction upon them and their Nation But what l●● shall vain man in his foolish faln Wisdom and earthly Reasoning think to be Wiser then God and to have a greater Care and Love to the Creation then God himself who made it hath What! shall Angels at the Birth of Christ sing Glory to God on high and Good-will to men and yet when the Way of God in Christ is published for bringing this great Work of Salvation to pass vain man must come in with his False Mind and say This is the way to confound all Order and destroy all Good And that this Doctrine turneth the World up-side down And that the Messengers of Christ are pestilent Fellows and Movers of Sedition O Earth Earth Tremble before the Lord for thou shalt never have Peace in thy own wayes thou shalt never be saved by thy own Strength thou shalt never be established by thy own Counsels thou shalt never have true Peace nor any Plenty within thy Borders until thou believest the Gospel which saith Learn of Christ whose Kingdom is not of this World and whose Weapons are not Carnal but Spiritual mighty through God not for the pulling down of outward Walls and Bodies but for raizing and pulling down and destroying the strong Holds of Sin and Satan in the Hearts and Lives of the Children of men For after that saith the Apostle The World by Wisdom knew not God it pleased God by the Foolishness of Preaching to wit such Doctrine as this which is a Cross and Stumbling-block to all corrupt Flesh to save them that believe So lay things to heart ye people of the World and Inhabitants of all the Earth for God's Purpose is not to exalt any man or men of this World or to glorifie any Flesh but to exalt his own Son Christ Jesus the heavenly Man the Lord from Heaven the Truth overall of whose Kingdom and Government there shall be no End And all that obey his Voyce and for Obedience thereunto are made willing to Suffer with him shall Raign with him for evermore But all others whether they be called Christians or Turks or whatever else shall be as the Dust or Chaff before the Wind to be scattered as the Lord by his Spirit from the beginning has said and at this time speaketh in his Servant Thomas Taylor THE END
