FROM ONE who was moved of the LORD GOD to go a sign among the PRIESTS PROFESSORS of the Prophets Apostles and Christs WORDS But dead from their life and naked from Salvation and Immortality but as black as spiritual Aegyptians and Aethiopians dead from the Life And so this is to you spiritual Aegyptians and black Aethiopians which in obedience to the Lord a sign I was made unto you all of your wickednesse and nakednesse in the sight of the Lord God who will not be warned neither by word nor by writing signes must be given unto you William Sympson LONDON Printed for Thomas Simmons at the Bull and Mouth near Aldersgate 1659. Oh Priests Howl and weep for a day of lamentation is coming upon you a day of woe and misery if you repent not you are become as trees in the wilderness dry and barren rotten within and the people are become like bryars and thorns which growes under you which the day of the Lord will burn and consume which is coming upon you all suddenly as a thief in the night repent now while you have time least the day of wrath come upon you for the Lord hath waited long to be gracious and ye have rejected his Councel and doth reward him evil for good if any come amongst you of his Servants to bear their testimony against you ye are all become like bryars and like thorns and like withered branches lopped off the trees dryed fit to kindle the fire withal either with their cloaths on or with their cloaths off ye are tormented and your peace is broken for the Lord is risen in his mighty power for you have been warned from the Lord by his servants by words and by writing and all these hath not wrought upon you now the Lord God is sending you signs and wonders so that mens hearts shall fail with fear with looking after these things that shall come upon the earth Therefore give over your wickedness and come down into the dust and cover your lips for there is no answer of God amongst you the Lord is leaving you because you have rejected his Councel if you speedily repent not sudden destruction will come unawares for as it was in the dayes of Noah so shall it be in the dayes of the Son of man therefore consider your wayes that the Lord give you not over for the Lord proffers freely and hath proffered and you have rejected and rebelled against the Lord so if you repent not he will bring you to destruction for the decree is gone forth against all unrighteousnesse and every tree that brings not forth good fruit must be hewen down and cast into the fire but ye are almost fallen your time is near an end the Lord will surely plead with you for you are going on till all may see your folly rending devouring the Servants of the Lord both in body and in goods Oh blush and be ashamed for the Lord God is coming to lay you naked and give you signs of your naedness both Priests and people your profession is abomination unto the Lord while you are out of the life of righteousness the Lord hath spared you long but now the Lord will bring your deeds and your nakedness to the light that which hath been done in secret shall be made made manifest openly for your ill savour is come up into the nostrils of the Lord and he will reward you according to your works the day is approaching wherein you shall gnaw your tongues for pain and cry alas for the day of misery is coming upon us and then it will be too late Therefore now while you have time give over your wickednesse and give over mentioning the Name of the the Lord all ye who are found in iniquity for the Lord will separate you ye must all depart if you repent not with speed and turn unto the Lord while the door of mercy is open for when it is shut you may call and cry and not be heard for warnings from the Lord in words hath not wrought upon you nor in writing and you cannot yet believe Oh consider gross darkness is coming over you had not Egypt many signs and wonders before the seed came forth you who are spiritual Egypt and Sodom gross darkness is coming over you so the Lord is giving you a sign and yet you will not believe but hardens your hearts and stiffens your necks like as your Fathers did so do ye therefore nothing can be expected to come upon you but wo and misery if ye speedily do not repent ye have many of you builded your neasts high and thinks ye are safe with a covering of the Saints words but all will be too narrow it will not cover you the Lord is coming to lay open your nakednesse ye Priests this is to you ye shall become like trees in the winter not so much as leaves to cover you withal but your nakedness shall appear as my nakedness hath done as a figure unto you and many people Come down out of your imaginations to the light of the Son of God in you that with it all actions may be brought to light and turned and overturned for the Lord will overturn the surest foundations that you can lay in your imaginations and God abhors them Therefore come down to the light of the Son of God that with it you may see the way of the Lord and no longer that it may be foolishness unto you for no man gathers graps of thorns ye are thorny and briery and thistly-natured the Lord God is coming to overturn and destroy so this is a warning unto you to repent while you have time and give over your wicked wayes both Priests and people and give over your bad usage of the Servants of the Lord when they come amongst you in obedience to his spirit as signs unto your wickednesse seeing words will not serve nor writing will not serve but still you go on in your wickednesse Oh fear the Lord God for it were better that a milstone were hanged about his neck and cast into the Sea then to offend the little ones that believe in Christ So consider what you do to the light of the Son of God I speak that with it you may all come to be guided into the fear of the Lord so your wicked wayes and words you may come to be redeemed from and to finde mercy with God while the door of mercy is open for you are all become as a Wilderness not inhabited and the Children of the Lord passing through is like to be destroyed by devouring creatures and this is a figure unto you all for so are you become in the sight of the Lord envy and murder is in your hearts as doth appear daily if any of the Servants of the Lord be moved to bear their Testimony against your wickednesse in your hearts thirsting after blood the Lord sees your wickedness and he will give you blood to drink for
