lustful eye and gratifie the wanton mind Is not this your case and practice ye Gallants young and old Men and Women And by these courses have not Debts surprized your Estates Poverty Plenty Diseases Health Debauchery Chastity Whole Families ruin'd both in Soul and Body yea such a deluge of Intemperance has so overwhelmed the Nations that hard it is to light upon sobriety and virtue Well my Friends when I ruminate on these things my heart affects mine eye and grief overcomes my Soul for yor sakes Repent therefore O ye Protestants or else know that for all these things God Almighty will bring you to Judgment and in the day that his Indignation shall be kindled your Religion of words shall fly away and your Lord Lord cryings shall be rejected because you were strangers to the Spiritual Nature though bablers of the Name of true Christianity and therefore shall ye perish by the Sword Now as for you Separatists of divers Names although I shall not disallow the Zeal that once you had yet must I on God's behalf bear my Testimony concerning you Therefore be it known unto you all that you are teaching and receiving for Doctrines the Traditions of men running and striving in your own Spirits compassing your selves with the sparks of your own fire being not yet come to stand still and know that Will done on Earth which is done in Heaven You tell people Christ Jesus has suffered and satisfied for sins past present and to come and though never so corrupt vile and polluted in themselves yet reconciled to and justified in the sight of God by his Personal Righteousness imputed unto them and not from a Work of Grace or Regeneration in the Creature therefore no wonder at your vehement cries against a state of perfect separation from sin as being a dangerous Doctrine who preach acceptation with the Holy God whilst in an unholy state You generally scoff at Revelation as being ceast most of you also abetting God to have ordained a Remnant absolutely to Salvation consequently making sin as well as torment unavoidably necessary to the major part whereby the Glorious God of Mercy is represented more infamously unjust than the worst of men Doctrines of Devils indeed and grounds of all looseness and Ranterism and tho pleaders fighters for Liberty of Conscience when opprest the greatest Oppressors when in power not minding the end of Gods loving kindness but because of your wanton neglect is your day darkned and your Sun set and grovelling you are in beggarly Elements imitations and shadows of the Heavenly good things relating to the dispensation of the second Covenant hoping by your many duties to be heard and find acceptance whilst very strangers to the covering of Gods Spirit and ignorant of him whom to know is life Eternal from the Revelation of his Eternal Spirit and Operation of his Mighty Power but from the conceivings and apprehensions of other men and Books well reputed whereby Gods Grace and Light have lost their Office of leading and teaching and thus true Counsel becomes darkned the Fountain shut the Book sealed and you in this state strangers unto God so that you perish for want of sound knowledge for I declare and testifie on the behalf of Gods everlasting Way to Life and against you all that you are yet in the mans spirit which works not Gods Will and Righteousness being found helpers of the mighty against that pure and unchangeable Principle of Light Grace and Life in which God only did does and will reveal and manifest himself unto the Sons and Daughters of men for which cause you are yet in your ups and downs tossed to and from not knowing the Rock of Ages and Foundation of many Generations which is that only Holy Seed wherein the Duties and Performances of all Nations only can be blessed and from whence proceeds that Pure Righteous and Immortal Birth to whom is the promise of an everlasting Inheritance but are sticking in your own imaginations and patching out a peace unto your selves from your Duties Performances and the imitations of weak times and seasons in some perishing Observations that no way relate to the Nature of the Pure Spiritual and Internal Kingdom of Peace Righteousness and Joy in the Holy Ghost Therefore well may I say as once of old Wee unto thee Capernaum which art exalted unto Heaven for if the mighty works that have been done in thee had been done in Tyre Sidon or Sodom they would have repented in Dust and Ashes and would have remained unto this day Wherefore O ye zealous Professors who in the Spirit of a man are striving to comprehend the Mystery of God unless ye repent and believe in that Light wherewith Christ hath enlightned every man that you may obtain to the true discerning of the Spirit and Nature in which you live and worship that so you may come to witness the Work and Will of God It shall be more tollerable for them in the day that God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ God will make them of the Synagogue of Sathan who say they are Christians and are not Therefore unto you Princes Priests and People whether Papists or Protestants or any other separated way that are in your Idolatry Superstition Carnal Ordinances and will-Worship whose Faith in and fear towards God are grounded on other mens apprehensions perswasions and precepts and not from the teaching of God's Holy Spirit or Grace to you all am I constrained to sound forth proclaim That unto us the most despised afflicted and forsaken by all the Families of the Earth is a Child born unto us a Son is given We call him Wonderful Counsellor the Mighty God the Everlasting Father the Prince of Peace of the increase of whose Government there shall be no end this is he the Prophet stiles A Light unto the Gentiles and for Salvation unto the ends of the Earth unto whom John Baptist bore this certain record That he was the true Light which enlighteneth every man that cometh into the World who also gave this testimony of himself That whosoever followed him should not abide in darkness but have the Light of Life and the Blood of Jesus saith the Beloved Disciple shall cleanse you from all sin This is the second Adam the quickning Spirit the Lord from Heaven the New and Spiritual Man the Heavenly Bread the True Vine the Flesh and Blood that was given for the Life of the World the Second Covenant the Law writ in the Heart and Spirit put in the inward Parts the way in which the Fool cannot err the Truth before deceit was the Life that 's hid in God eternal in the Heavens glorified before the World began the Power the Wisdom the Righteousness of God the Plant of Renown the Royal Seed that bruiseth the Serpents Head in short That Grace which hath appeared unto all men teaching them to deny ungodliness
