And now may'nt I say Glory to as well as Englands Form The Father Son and holy Ghost in it I see no harm And that in the beginning 't was I also say the same So it shall be world without end Praise to his Holy NAME His Name 's but one and yet to him there many Names are given According as he Ministers to us here under Heaven And here on Earth Three record bear tho Three in ONE agree And answer Heavens record to as Branches of ONE Tree Some more SCRUPLES clear'd NOW for the opening of the Truth which is our strength c stay In answering of Objections to this same some may say Object Oh! here 's a Table richly deckt Oh here are dishes store Oh! is all this but one Small Mite and from a Widow poor Though here are many good Dishes they have not the right place Nor in good Order Vsherd in oh this doth spoile the Grace For there are sometimes Dishes come the which should last be brought And this Course will not it admit of this some will find fault Though we confess the meat be good and on the Table store But Sauce here is not sutable to sight it is but poor Answ My Answer this no●… ●…nquet is for them full Stomack have But bitter things for hungry Soules which newly come from grave But yet in it ought sweetness find O this is all my aim To praise the goodness of our God for his Love in the same And seeing meat is on the Board if it be'nt rightly set Let others take the pains that can the Dishes places ●…it Now for my part when I did taste any dish that was good I presently brought him to board to others for their food If in Feasts they first best Wine bring and after that that 's worst Yet Christ when he makes Water Wine the last's as good as first So these Traditions we do not in our minds much admire So hungry Souls with Righthousness be fed is our desire Object Tautologies O some may say be here I do them find Which are Dishes of one like meat this doth not please the mind Answ My Answer is 't was meat I lov'd that I often did eat And so for 't should not be reprov'd for giving of my meat This way Prophets and Apostles did use with Line on Line Thus putting Saints in remembrance by stirring their pure mine And that 't was not grievous to them the same thing for to write Yea those things which they did believe and had thereof the sight Object But now again for to return and

With Glory Honour and Power let 's praise the Lord of Heaven Whose Judgements just and righteous be he to the Whore hath given For why she did corrupt the Earth with her vile Fornication Gods Servants blood for Vengeance cryes on her abomination Now blood unto her God hath given for that it is her share Yea she is worthy of the same ' cause Saints blood she 'd not spare Object But some may say Why do you thus apply these things to them When you also now Sufferers are which come of Jesses Stem Answ For Answer though we may be slain for the good Word of God And for the Testimony held which we have from the Lord As those Souls under th' Altar which unto the Lord did cry For Vengance on those dwelt on Earth and answer'd Ye must lye Vntil the rest of your fellow-servants and Brethren to Which witnesse bear unto my Name be kill'd as well as you For thus 't was under the fifth Seal the Angel open'd when The Moon was blood the Stars did fall and Sun was hid from men What from the Earth can we expect when Blood 's the light of heaven But Persecution with effect when Stars to it fall even But by the way Observe under the Altar Souls do lye The which the Sacrificer kills and there he doth them tye And so Obedience was lost which was better than any Of all the Sacrifice they made though offer they did many For their Oblations they were vain Incense abomination Nor did God this require of them they being Sodoms Nation When they spread forth their hands to God he fast did close his eyes And though they many Prayers made God did them all despise Their New Moons and their solemn Feasts Assemblies like a flood The Lord had no regard to ' cause their hands were full of Blood It was Jerusalem also that did the Prophets kill And stoned those to them were sent and with blood did fulfil And though they said they would not be partakers with their Fathers In this same bloody Tragedy yet Saints blood they still gather But desolate there House is left Gods Glory from it 's gone For that they have contemnd the Sun which on their Moon hath shone Wherefore they shall not henceforth see the true Light till they say Blessed is he that cometh in the Lord Gods Name alway Object But some of these Objected have against us saying we Have not so much gain-said oppos'd those in our places be So that we cannot choose but think you very flatterers are And as the common Proverb is Your Friends at Court you spare For that it hath observed been the men most godly were Their Congregations you did haunt and ' gainst them rave and tear As then so now those that are bad ' gainst them no word doth spring But those that zealous were and good you made their Churches ring So that we cannot but suppose the Bottom doth design Some Machavillian Policy to be acted in time And if that this be nothing so why do you not still go Into those great Assemblies now the Reason let us know Answer For Answer hereunto I say What man is there so mad To spend his time in the threshing of Bushes They 'r as bad For if one would go vilifie the worst of men there 's nought In them to use the Proverb old that worth a Rush is thought Or who is he that will look for Grapes on the thorny Twiggs Or is there any one that doth of Thistles gather Figgs So that they have no cause to say That we against them were When as that we a threshing went we did not rave or tear For certainly you may suppose we did judge there was Corn Which prompted us to come and thresh and winnow in your Barn And if the grain it did cling fast the chaffe and straw unto The Threshers do not discommend tho they did it undo And though at first the best Corn's made out of the Straw to spring Yet do not you the Thresher blame if it to th' rest they fling For good full Corn it doth rejoyce when Threshers come thereto ' Cause then it knows it shall be put Gods own will for to do And though it be but Oxen which this Corn out do tread Yet by the same they food must have and not be muzzelled It is because Corn's hard and tough that Instruments made be With sharp hard Teeth because plain Tools from the Straw can't it free So those that good and godly were we did them not contemn But what was done was Gods visit did you to us commend For you were counted the lost Sheep of the House Israel Therefore count us not Enemies because Gods Truth we tell And by enquiry you did find of Gods Message worthy Though still we see you hardned be and us reproach daily In the time of Elias though there Widows were a many He to Sareptha's Widow 's sent of others not to any Also in Israel there was much Leprosie on man Yet none at all were cleansed but Naaman the Syrian So that if God did send to cleanse you of your Leprosie Then charge not the Messenger with Machivel-Policy Nor with the Prophet do find fault that doth preserve your store When in great Famine that you were he shew'd you where was more Moreover you may see those men

so it is decreed now So Hamon is the first of all that ever yet I 've read Who got forth such a cruel Law yet we find of his Seed Thus also Nebuchadnezzar who in his Pallace walkt Said Is not this Great Babylon with much such glorying talkt That I have built for the House of the Kingdom that is mine And by the might of my Power thus slighting Gods Divine And also for the honour of alone my Majesty As if at all there had not been a Power that 's on high While these words were in the Kings mouth there fell a voice from heaven The Kingdom is departed now that unto thee was given This was the Image-making man and Persecutor too That cast i' th fire who would not to 's Image Worship do Therefore let none think that we do 't through peevishness of mind For we for it good Reason have and Precepts too Divine Examples too you see we have recorded in Scripture Of Gods Judgements that on men fell which were both just and sure As hard-hearted Pharaoh did keep Israel in Bondage great And when Liberty it was sought with God he would not treat But said Who is the Lord that he at all should him obey With such presumptuous words as these from his proud heart did say And in the stead of Liberty did make their Burthens more For which upon his Head God did full many Judgements poure Bloody waters Froggs Lice and Flies with Boyles and Blanches many Hail Locusts Darkness and First-born were slain he left not any And yet for all those Judgements which fell on him as his due So hard-hearted he yet still was that Israel he 'd pursue So Gods People in a great strait being thus surrounded By standing kill Salvation saw of God and Pharaoh drounded This is for you a warning then that follow step by step That regard not Fire War or Plague but over these things lep Tho you count those things Accidents which unto you are given But that you should no Covers have God shews you signs from heaven Yea and such signs all your Wise men with their Egyptian Art Could tell the coming of the same which made them all to start Nor what th' effect or influence these Blasing-Stars would be That in one year did shew themselves not one or two but three Thus Pharaohs drown'd and Hamons hang'd Nebuchadnezzar's due To lose his Kingdom and Herod eaten with worms was to So all proud persecuting Spirits Examples here 's for you For God is now the same also his Judgements just and true For his Hand is not shortned but can help 't is our stay Nor is his power now weakend more than 't was yesterday For all the Honour and Glory of Man is but a lye And if there were no Worshippers of Idols they would dye This Honour God he will not give to graven Images Nor his Glory to mortal men tho they him near so please For that the Kingdom it is his the Power and Glory too And Honour for ever and e're to him alone t is due For if the Angel which to John shewd Mysteries manifold Would not be bow'd to or worshipt how dare man be so bold For he our Fellow-servant was and of our Brethren to Which Jesus Testimony had and Prophesying Spirit true These are the highest attainments of Angels and of Men That maketh them honourable yet are they but Brethren And so they dare not now to bow or worship give each other Or glory in ought that they have for 't cometh from another And now all earthly Images you all must now be dumbe And speak no more for your glory now Gods Kingdom is come And his Almighty Power shall you altogether grind And in the Sea your Ashes cast that henceforth none you find This is the little Stone the which out of the Mountain's cut Though without hands your Images shall break as a small Nut. These Idols of Silver and Gold they shall to Moles be given The which blind Vermin in Earth creep shut up from th' Light of heaven And the blind Bats must have a part that are Birds of the night The which cannot abide the Day to fly in peoples sight Therefore alone to God we 'l bow and worship him alway Who is our Fountain Treasure Stock our Light Life Bread and Stay And therefore now Man speak no more for to be bow'd unto For Gods Prerogative it is and he must have his due If Saints and Angels they would not at all be bow'd to then What spirit have all those that do seek worship now from men For if Gods Messengers and Gifts we must not once admire Oh then Whose Messengers are they that Glory do desire For all the Gifts and Graces w●…ch God he doth to us send That him alone we should praise which is both Author and End For we the Israel of God are while we walk in this sphere So no Weapon against us formd shall prosper Sword or Spear If in the Fire we are cast oh there 's the Son of God Or through the Water made to pass oh there 's also the Lord. So to be burnt or over-flowd no cause we have to fear For Angels Lyons mouths do stop of 's Daniels he hath care If Oxen must not muzzeld be that do tread out the Corn Oh then what care will he have of his Babes that are new born But if that yet we do please men Gods Servants we are not And when men worldly honour seek it signifies a Blot That they from God departed are in whom men honour have And gone into the World from him who do its honour crave Saul is a figure unto such who Gods Word disobeyd And God from him departed was oh then he cryd and said Before the People honour me oh this was all his cry For those that have forsaken God on this alone rely But this is sad and desmal to Worlds glory for to gain Out of Gods presence to be cast into eternal pain In this Doctrine it is observ'd the Persecutors proud Which will not to this Image bow Life hardly is allow'd And God he is so just and true in Judgement he 'll not act Till plainly the notoriousness appear doth of the Fact Cain he cannot at all be cast out of Gods presence till The Blood of Abel he hath spilt then Judgement on him fell So you that offer unto God the Sacrifice of Praise Which Offering he doth respect and also did alwayes Thus to the Will of God you must your selves and all commit Tho Caldees and Sabeans too themselves against you set For the Chastisements of the Lord we never must refuse ' Cause ye no Bastards are but Sons he to himself doth chuse And when that you corrected are Obedience thereby learn You shall not need to fear but God the Rod forthwith will burn Now if the ground-work you would know in fine of all this evil From th' Dragon and old Serpent t is or spirit of
