them alive into the Lake of Fire that burns with Brimstone and all that drink of the Whores Cup and worship the Beast shall be tormented and drink the Cup of the Indignation of the Lord God Almighty And here is the end of those wicked Persecutors Iudas the Persecutor who betrayed his Master and kissed him and sold him to the Priests for Thirty Pieces of Silver who thirsted after his Blood the Blood of the Innocent But mark his end with his Company with their Swords and Staves He hanged himself The Iews persecuted Paul up and down from place to place after he came to receive the Mercy which many now receive his Words but persecute his Life And after that he came to exercise his Conscience to keep it void of offence towards God and towards man then they did account Paul an Heretick and a mover of Sedition and a Pestilent Fellow and one who turned the World up-side down and was accounted not fit to live upon the Earth when many of the Jews and Proselytes that feared God followed Paul and Barnabas who exhorted them to continue in the Grace of God But when the rest of the Jews saw the People they were full of envy and spake against Paul and railed on them And they stirred up certain devout women and chief men of the City and raised Persecution against Paul and Barnabas and expelled them out of their Coasts But they shook off the Dust of their Feet as a Witness against these Persecutors Forty of the Jews bound themselves with an Oath and conspired together with the Priests and Council to kill Paul but were prevented by the Chief Captain Again when the Jews saw Paul in the Temple they moved all the People and laid hands on him crying Men of Israel help this is the man that teacheth all men every-where against the People and the Law and this Place Moreover he hath brought Grecians into the Temple and hath polluted this holy Place Then all the City was moved and the People ran together and they took Paul and drew him out of the Temple to kill him but were prevented by the chief Captain who rescued him out of their hands and they cryed against him Away with such a fellow from the Earth for it is not meet that he should live So Paul found more favour from the Romans who were Heathen than from his own Nation who were Jews and the greatest Professors then in the World And Ananias the High-Priest and the Elders and Tertullus the Orator accused Paul unto Felix the Governour and told him that they had found Paul a pestilent fellow and a mover of Sedition among all the Jews throughout the world and a chief maintainer of the Sect of the Nazarites and would have polluted the Temple and afterwards the High-Priests and the chief of the Jews appeared before Festus against Paul and would have had him sent him to Jerusalem and they laid wait by the way to have killed him But ye may read what was the end of all these bloody Persecutors who drew nigh unto God with their lips and with their mouthes honoured him but removed their hearts far off from him So the lip-servers will-worshippers will persecute now as the Jews did of old But they that worship God in Spirit and in Truth which the Devil is out of cannot persecute for they can love Enemies and bless those that curse them and pray for them that persecute them and do good for evil So these are the true Christians and followers of Christ The Word of the Lord God to you all Let no one persecute about Church Worship Religion Maintenance and Ministry that profess themselves to be Christians For Christ gives no such Command nor Example but to love Enemies for He rebuked his Disciples who would have had Fire come down from Heaven on them who would not receive them and were contrary-minded to them as the Prophet had done Therefore Christ who fulfilled the Law and the Prophets rebuked their zeal and told them He came not to destroy mens lives but to save them Therefore ye that are Persecutors and Destroyers of Mens Lives ye are not in Christ's Mind Life nor Doctrine nor the Spiritual men that wrestle with Spiritual weapons but you are carnal of which as I said before the Devil was the author and the beginner of And the Lamb and the Saints and the Bride and his Wife shall have the Victory the First and the Last shall reign wherein Alpha and Omega shall be known over the Persecutors the Begining and the End the Lamb of God's Kingdom the First and the Last So now in these last days the Prophets of the Lord have warned the Turk warned the Pope and warned most of the Kings in Christendom of their Persecution whose Field lies like a Field of Blood who staines the Earth with it that the Inhabiters of it are Vagabonds like Cain that killed the Righteous so that the Earth doth not yeeld her full strength Therefore are there so many Beggars desolate people in Poverty among them Peter and Jude prophesied and saw a persecuting Cain that would kill about Religion was getting up among the Christians before their decease which would be Preachers or Teachers who were by the Apostles judged John in the Revelations saw Iezebel that would be a Prophet and a Teacher among the Churches which Iezebel was a Persecuter and a drinker of the Blood of the Saints and Prophets whom John rebuked and such as set her up and followed her Therefore O consider Have not Persecutors been set up by a Law since the Apostles dayes and the Doctrine of Christ trampled under foot which teacheth to love Enemies and overcome evil with good And have you not read in Heb. 11. how they persecuted the Saints and spoiled the Saints goods and how they wandered in Sheep-skins and Goat-skins of whom the World was not worthy who lived in Dens and Caves of the Earth And again he saith I saw the Beast and the Kings of the Earth and their Armies gathered together to make war against Him that sate upon the white horse who was cloathed with a Vesture dipt in blood the Lord Jesus Christ whose Name was called The Word of God and against his Army the Saints that were with Him And the Beast was taken and with him the false Prophet that wrought Miracles before him with which he deceived them that had received the Mark of the Beast and them that worshipped his Image These both were cast alive into the Lake of Fire burning with Brimstone And the Remnant were slain with the Sword of him that sat upon the white horse which proceeded out of his mouth and all the fowls of the aire were filled with their flesh And this was the end of those Persecutors The Ministers of Unrighteousness and false Apostles and Messengers of Satan and his Ministers were the Persecutors of the Righteous like their Father the Devil and walked in his steps as
