A61905	A warning unto apostates & backsliders that formerly have made a profession of the truth, but walk not answerably thereunto but are crucifying to themselves afresh the Son of God, and putting him unto open shame, and thereby are treasuring up wrath against the day of wrath, and revelation of the reighteous judgements of the Lord : also a visitation and warning to all workers of iniquity, that they may repent and turn to the Lord with speed, before his dreadful judgments be poured forth upon them / by Richard Stubbs.	Stubbs, Richard.	1673 (1673)	Wing S6083; ESTC R31962	14,947	22

and down as with a Tempest by the Prince of the Power of the Air that now works in the Children of Disobedience who are either Strangers to the Light or have turned their Backs upon it and reject it As the Lord hath complained in dayes past of some who cast his Law behind their Backs and would none of his Counsel and so by Sinning against the Lord I was treasuring up Wrath against the Day of Wrath and Revelation of the Righteous Judgments of the Lord which will certainly come upon all the Workers of Iniquity that are Disobedient unto the Manifestation of God's Holy Spirit in their own Hearts and Consciences a Measure of which Spirit and Light God hath vouchsafed unto all which reproves all and waits upon all and invites all to come unto him and be saved and so if any perish in Sin their Destruction is of themselves for the Lord waits upon all that he may be gracious that that appears against Evil and Sin in the Hearts of all if it be minded believed in and waited upon it will lead out of Sin And having known the Terrors of the Lord and the Indignation of the Almighty because of Sin and Transgression and for Sinning against the Lord I do warn all and exhort all to mind the Day of their Visitation and not to slight God's Love but while it is called to day harden not your Hearts against that that reproves but bow to the Appearance of Christ Jesus in your own particulars for this is the Day of God's Love wherein he is stretching forth a Hand and Arm of Love and Salvation unto all So let all bow unto the Scepter of Christ Jesus that so Salvation and cleansing from Sin on this side the Grave thou mayest come to witness for as the Tree falls so it lyes and there is no Work nor Device in the Grave whither we are all very shortly going therefore mind the Lord and walk in the Light of the Lamb and obey the Lord in all things for every one must receive according to his Works and according to this Deeds done in the Body for the Lord will not condemn the Righteous nor clear the Guilty though the Professors of this Age hold forth and believe such a thing and so are wresting Scriptures to their own Destruction and they say That though we are polluted in our selves and full of Wounds and Bruises yet God looks upon us in Christ Jesus as righteous and that he will look upon Persons that are polluted with Sin as in themselves yet to be Righteous as in Christ at the same time while polluted with Sin as in themselves and so are imagining a Righteousness by Way of Imputation as they call it but this Device will not avail any but all must really come to witness Christ's Righteousness wrought in them and the Unrighteousness wrought out and so to walk not after the Flesh but after the Spirit and so come to witness the Strong Man that hath kept the House to be dispossessed and his Goods to be spoiled by one that is Stronger then he which is Christ Jesus the Light of the World who is the Wisdom of God and the Power of God to as many as believe in him and obey him in all things Now this is a Business of the greatest Importance and Concernment inasmuch as the Soul is of an Immortal Being and must live or be Eternally either in Joy and Felicity or else in Wo and Torment forever and evermore a Condition never to be altred never to be changed therefore let all and every one of us mind the Work which lyes before us and work out every one his own Salvation with Fear and Trembling for it is God that worketh in us to will and to do of his own Good Pleasure and let not any of us spend that little time we are yet to remain in these Houses of Clay in Vanity and Folly in Rioting and Drunkenness but mind the Grace of God that brings Salvation and appears unto all and teaches all that are willing to be taught by it to deny Ungodliness and Worldly Lust and to live soberly and godly in this present Evil World Now the Evil One who is called the Devil and Satan the Enemy of Man kind endeavours to keep all Hearts and Minds upon Visible Fading Perishing things which are but for a very short Season and the Glory and Beauty thereof must perish and fade away and so presenting the Glory of this present World and the Delights therein endeavours thereby to keep all from worshipping and serving the Lord in Spirit and Truth and so out of the Sence of an Eternal State and Being and from listening to the Voice of Christ Jesus which is neer at the Heart that waits upon all to lead out of Sin and so to bring into Fellowship with God again But so long as I was captivated by Sin and was not walking in the Light of the Lord so I came to stumble and fall for he that stumbles stumbles in the Night and they that are drunk are drunk in the Night and so here I was not regarding the Voice of the Lord nor walking in his Fear but was rebelling against the Light though the Lord by his gentle Corrections did speak once yea twice yet I regarded not his Call but was even as a Bullock unaccustomed to the Yoak and instead of receiving Correction I was oftentimes ready to murmur against the Lord and repine at his Fatherly Chastizements though the true and faithful Witness did oftentimes arise in my Heart and was a swift Witness against every thing that was Evil and this did shew unto me that I had sinned against the Lord and therefore his Hand was stretched out against me and the Lord followed me with his Judgments and his Judgments are Righteous altogether and this was the Lord's Love Blessed and Magnified be his Name for ever for before I was afflicted I went astray but now in some Measure am obeying the Voice of the Lord and herein Peace is witnessed which is not to be found in the Way of Sin And oftentimes I did resolve in my Mind to be more faithful to the Lord but not looking unto him so Salvation from Sin I fell short of So Sin prevalled and I was led Captive by the Evil One by not giving Heed unto the Light of Christ Jesus which shined in my Heart and appeared against Sin But as my Mind came again in some measure to be retired and waiting upon the Light which reproves for Sin so I found Strength in some Measure to withstand Sin and so as many as wait upon the Lord will be kept out of Defilement and Sin and Pollution and so in perfect Peace with the Lord for there is no Condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the Flesh but after the Spirit that walk according to the Guidance and Direction of the Spirit a measure of which is given unto all to
