A44841	The Quakers house built upon the rock Christ Wherein neither their doctrines, principles, nor practices can be confounded, not disproved; being neither damnable, nor pernitious. As Samuel Hammond hath falsly affirmed in his book called, The Quakers house built upon the sand: or, a discovery of the damnablenes of their pernitious doctrins, in his answer to G.W. which to prove, he lays down seven grounds of delusion, and five arguments of damnable doctrine. But in this answer his seven grounds is proved false in themselves, ...; and his five arguments is proved to be his own false positions, ... as first, he lays down false positions, and then proves them false; and then boasts, as if he had proved our doctrines or principles false: the truth of which is herein clearly made manifest, and wherein he falsly accuseth us, he is justly guilty himselfe. Also the ten fundamentall principles or doctrines of the hireling priest-hood, ... By a servant to the Church of Christ, ... Richard Hubberthorne. ...

keep people from the light within which gives the Knowledge of the glory of God and from the Word within and the Kingdom within and the grace within in which their hearts should be established Heb. 13. 9. and by grace they were saved Ephes. 2. 5. and that being justified by his Grace we should be made beires according to the hope of eternall life Tit. 3. 7. And the Word of Christ was to dwell in them richly in all Wisedome from which they were to a imonish one another in Psalmes and Hymnes and spirituall Songs singing with grace in their hearts to the Lord Col. 3. 16. and their speech was to be alwayes with grace seasoned with salt that they might know how to answer every man Col. 4. 6. and all these is to be known within And Christs Doctrine to the Pharisees was to bring their minds to within and told them the Kingdom of God was within them Luke 17. 21. and Christ bids them Beleave in the light while they have the light that they may be the children of light John 12. 36. And Jesus said unto them I am the light of the World he that followeth me shall not walke in darknesse but shall have the light of life John 8. 12 and Iohn a man sent from God came for a witnesse to beare witnesse of the light that all men through him might beleeve and saith this was the true light which enlightneth every man which commeth into the world and in this light Christ bid them beleeve in and follow And Paul said that he was sent to opes their eyes and to turne people from the darknesse to the light from the power of Satan unto God that they might receive the remission of their sins and be partakers of the inheritance among them that was sanctified Acts 26. 18. and this was the Gospel which the Apostles Preached and hereby may the ignorant be instructed which hath not read any word in the Scripture of light within of Christ within nor the worke of grace within which I have read of all these to be within and beleeved it Harmonds third Ground of our Delution is this Pr. Their not being able to distinguish betwixt being justified ●coly by Grace which is the favour of God upon the account of shrist satisfaction and the Grace wrought by the spirit in the senls or rather that naturall light which being improved they call Grace as he saith Ans This is like the other proceeding onely from ignorance For God will not give us up to delusions that we may be damned for that which we are not able to doe for God doth ●e puire according to what a man hath and not according to what a man hath not for if we have not power nor ability he will not condemne us for that but for ahusing that power and ability which he hath given us to be obedient unto him in for that he is condemned and because that he doth not retaine God in his Knowledge therefore he is given up to a reprobate sence and to strong delusions And whereas thou saith That we cannot distinguish between the Grace of God which is the favour of God upon the account of Christs satisfaction and the naturall light which being improved thou saith we call grace Ans. Yea We have alwayes distinguished between the justifying Grace and a naturall light for the light of the Sunne and of the Moon and Starrs is narorall and by their light the naturall man sees the Creation and the things in it And we never said that this if improved was the Grace so thou falsly accuseth us And that light which we say is within and which Christ hath enlightened every man withall is not to be distinguished from the favour of God for it is the love and favour of God to man that his free Grace which bringeth salvation hath appeared unto all men Tit. 2. 11. and by this Grace and not another are they saved who are saved though thou and others turne this grace into wantennesse and then speaks despightfully against the spirit of it and against its being within For if people be once brought to the grace of God within and the light within then they will see your deceitfull Teachings without but while you ear keep them blinde you may Preach for Hire and Divine for Money and they will love to have it so but so soon as any comes to the grace within and the light within then they see your wayes and Doctrines and receives the testimony of the Lord against you which testimony is now going forth in the mighty power of the Lord and God hath raysed up his Sonne which is the light of the World and his faithfull witnesse in his Children and thousands shall come to the brightnesse of his rising whereby you shall all be discovered who hath laboured to quench his appearance and the breaking forth of his light which will stand over you for ever Hammonds fourth Ground of Delusion is this Pr. Our not distinguishing betwixt the Covenant of Works and the Covenant of Grace and for the proofe of this instances the Perfect Pharisee and because we say That Christ is the end of the Law for righteousnesse c. Aus. Let all people take notice of his proofe those lye● and false accusations which he and Coale Yrideaux Weld and Durant did speak against us five yeares since which was proved false by the Answer to it those he takes as sufficient proofes for his false accusing of us now men of understanding will be ashamed of his Folly if because that he standered and falsly accused us five years agoe and doth so now again Is his first lye made a proofe for his second If he would have proved any thing against us our Doctrine or Principles to be a ground of delusion he should have proved it from our words or writings and not from his own accusations as by the Perfect Pharisee Againe he brings our words because that we have said that Christ is the end of the Law for righteousnesse therefore this proves the ground of our delusion and that we cannot distinguish betwixt the Covenant of Grace and the Covenant of Works Then the Apostle is proved to be in the ground of delusion as well as we for he said the same words Rom. 10 4. and this saith he is the direct Popish Doctrine who say that Christ is the end of the Law for righteousnesse as in the fifth page of his Book but saith he they expresse it of inherent righteousnesse and so calls it because Christ works it in them Answer As to say that we expresse it and call it inherent we have not so exprest it nor called it so But if because Christ works his righteousnesse in us we say the righteousnesse of the Law is fulfilled in us who walke not after the flesh but after the spirit Rom. 8. 4. If we say that Christ is the end of the Law for Righteousnesse this is not Popish

save their tythes have rashly closed with them Ans. As for a spirit of giddinesse hanging loose to the truth that thou shalt never find in us for we are staid and established in the Lord and in his truth and shall be faithfull in the truth of God which we have received untill we see the Land cleansed of all Hirelings and Deceivers which make a Prey upon the people for dishonest gaine for from you who pretend to be Teachers of others is prophanesse gone forth into all the Earth and your wayes and Doctrines have corrupted it so that not a pure heart nor an undefiled mind and conscience can be found in your Congregations not one that is unreproveable in the sight of God and Gods witnesse in you all shall seale to the truth of my testimony And as for those three sorts of people which thou saith turn Quakers First ancient Professors these knew as much and practised more of things which were just and righteous then thou dost before they knew the life and power of truth which now they live in and are both learned and established in the things of God And why doth thou accuse them for being unlearned and unstable before they turned to us while they followed thee and such like Here thou proves thy own Doctrine that which doth not learn not establish people and not ours For if they were anciest Professors under that Ministery and not learned nor established consider where the cause was How could they be established where they found neither life nor power of God amongst you But now they have found him of whom Moses and the Prophets did Write that should come and they doe not look for another And now are they both learned and established in the wayes of God And therefore doe not thou upbraid them with what they were before they received the truth in the love of it and obedience to it And as for the young men and women of which thou saith is come to terrous and shakings and convictions then they are come further then ever thou came for they that are sensible of convictions terrours and shakings wrought by the Spirit of God they may be thy Teachers which hath but the words of them and art ignorant of the power by which they were wrought and therefore thou brings forth such words of darknesse as thou hast expressed as that thoso that follow the light of an awakened Conscience and sit downe under that and are under terrours and shakings that these are ●nllod a sleep by Satan Is not this blindnesse and ignorance is this according to the forme of sound words were they nor a sleep before their Consciences were awakened But now when they follow the light which wakens their Consciences which is the light of Christ and when they through the obedience to his light doe the works of righteousnesse is this a ground of delusion or when they are thus led dost thou say they are then lulled a sleep by Satan this is a putting darknesse for light and light for darknesse and in stead of shewing us to be in the ground of delusion thou shews thy own ignorance and blindnesse to all that are able to discerne any thing of truth And for the third sort which thou saith for covetous ends to save their Tythes hath joyned with us In this will all sober people and men of understanding beare witnesse against thee and by the effects even their sufferings thou will be condemned as hundreds of this Nation hath suffered the spoyling of their Goods and Imprisonment for a testimony against you and them which covetous men could not doe as some for the value of five shillings Tythes have goods taken worth five pounds and for three pounds worth of Tythe goods taken worth ten pounds and for Tythes of the value of two shillings taken ten shillings And many I could instance which have had taken from them seven times the value and ten times the value and some forty times the value And then how is this for covetousnesse And others here in this County of Bishopriok the Priests send their men to take peoples Lamb● out of the field and off the Common and their Corne off the field which they have laboured for without any Law or pretence of Law which according to Law might be proceeded against as Sheep-stealers and Corne-stealers which if there be Law to give them Tythes then according to the order of Law they are to receive it and not to take mens goods by violence and thus we suffer the spoyling of our goods with joy which if we for covetousnesse denyed Tythes as Hammond accuseth us we could not suffer men to act so contrary to both Law and Gospel and spoyle our Goods and beare it patiently and many thousands in this Nation can in faithfulnesse beare witnesse against him in this thing that it is not for covetousnesse but in obedience to the Lord and bearing a faithfull witnesse against the Ministery that make merchandize of soules and of their goods also which the Lord is bringing downe by the arme of his power and making their folly manifest unto all men And according to his promise he will bring a shame and a perpetuall reproach upon them which by their iniquity and their heavy burthens have kept in captivity the Seed of God which now by his mighty power he is bringing forth to prayse and glorifie him and to rejoyce over all the false Prophets and Teachers which hath caused them to suffer in the time of darknesse and ignorance The second ground of our delusion as Samuel Hammond saith is this Priest Our not being able to distinguish betwixt the rightsousnesse imputed upon the account of the blood of Christ and the righteousnesse or holinesse wrought in us by the Spirit c. Ans. If this were true this were not a ground of delusion for God will not give any up to a reprobate sense nor condemne them for their not being able to distinguish for then he should condemne them for not doing that which they are nor able to doe Here thou art ignorant of the Scriptures and of the ground of delusion and it being my Duty and Calling to instruct the ignorant and him that is out of the way I shall shew thee the grounds of delusion according as it is written in the Scriptures as Rom. 1. 21. Because that when they know God they glorified him not as God neither were thankefull but became vaine in their imaginations and their foolish heart was darkned Ver. 22. Professing themselves to be wise they became fooles as thou hast done And wer 28. And even as they did not like to retaine God in their Knowledge God gave them over to a reprohato minde to doe those things which are not convenient And this was not because they were not able to distinguish but because they did not like to retaine God in their Knowledge And because that when they knew God they glorified him not as God and by

sayst we 〈◊〉 so and so thou makes thy meaning the judge both of the Scriptures and of our 〈◊〉 but God will judge and condemn thy false meanings Again thou being asked what it was that was imputed unto Abraham for righteousnesse thy answer is It was the promised Seed which is Christ Here thou erres not knowing the Scripture as ●amos 2. 23. Abraham beleeved God and it was imputed unto him for righteousnesse his Faith was accounted unto him for righteousnesse but Faith is not called the promised Seed nor Christ And for thy saying If a men were never so godly and have nothing but his tears to pleade for him he must goe to Hell This is foolish ignoranc● the godly never went to Hell but it is like thou meant if he seemed to be godly but was not for we must 〈◊〉 have meanings to thy words which is contrary to thy words or else the substance of thy whole Volume will prove false But it is the day of the discovery of thy nakednesse Again in page 20. when thou art confuted about Baptisme and the Lords Supper thou sayst thou meant standing Ordinances and that thou meant that which the Pedobaptists and 〈◊〉 baptists use and so in every particular thou means anot●●● thing then thou speaks And in page 22. when thou 〈◊〉 that trying all things cost Solomon a sad Apostacy thou meant he fell into Apostacy but both thy former words and letter meaning is false Pr. Then thou would bring the Apostle for a cloake 〈◊〉 thy covetousnesse and saith thou hast warrant and example of the Apostle for receiving Wages Ans. Nay thou hast neither warrant nor example from him For he first Planted a Vineyard before he Eate of the Fruit And he first did sow spirituall things before he di● eate of the carnall things And he said Have we not power to eate and power to drinke But he did not say Have we no power to take tythes as thou art pleading for a power to take Tythes and so he is no example nor warrant for thee 〈◊〉 he said that the Priest-hood was changed and that the 〈◊〉 was changed by which Tythes were lawfull And 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 no example from Paul to be so many yeares at New-easi le and have yearely Wages above 100 livre. a yeare and yet not profit the people at all but rather harden their hearts against the truth and beget envy and wrath in them against the appearance of Christ in any so thou hast no warrant nor example from the Apostle for these things therefore make them no more a cloake for thy covetousnesse Pr. Againe thou brings Paul that for the greatnesse of his Wages the Primitive Saints layd downe their Estates at the Apostles feet Ans. But thou and thy brethren may long Preach before the people lay down their Estates at your feet for if they did you would spend it upon your lust and pride for your Gospel doth not open the hearts of people neither can they account you worthy to partake of their carnall things because they receive no spirituall things from you as the Saints did from the Apostles For that which he had received of the Lord did he deliver unto them But thy brethren and labourers in the vineyard with thee Henry Leavers Richard Franklings and Iosias Dockerey affirmed upon the 21. day of the seventh Moneth at Branspith castle that they have the Scriptures and their Gospel not from God but from men And to prove it said that Timothy received the Gospel not from God but from man viz. from Paul Therefore how can people lay down their Estates at your feet which doe but deliver unto them a Gospel received from Man For they can receive it from man or have it from the Printer for lesse money then they give you yearely for Wages And they need not give every yeare the tenth part of their increase for the Scripture and Gospel from man for they may have it for five shillings or lesse which will serve for many yeares Now the Apostle he was worthy and it was the least if when he had Ministered unto them spirituall things that he did eate and drink of their carnall things for the Gospel which he Preached he received it not of Man neither was he taught it but by the Revelation of Jesus Christ and so the people under his Ministery did not spend their money for that which was not Bread nor their labour for that which did not satisfie as they doe under your Ministery and therefore you must either make bargaines before-hand for your Wages or get a Law to compell them to pay Tythes as the complaint of many of your Priests is in this Nation that if it were left to the freedom of people they might starve the hearts of people is so hard What Gospel have you been Preaching all this while that peoples hearts is hard yet and that you dare not trust your Gospel nor your Church for food and rayment you are ashamed to all profession of godlinesse Did ever the Ministers of the Gospel of Christ starve for want of food and rayment where they had gathered Churches Or for Wages did they either goe to Law or take mens goods by violence as the Priests in England doe but while they have received no Gospel from God but from man how should it be otherwise so from man you have received the Gospel and from man you have received a Law to take tythes and so its another Gospel then Paul Preached For he received it not from man neither was he taught it by man but from God by the Revelation of Jesus Christ but now you can no longer be hid but are made to consesse to the glory of God the truth against your selves that people may no more receive you as sent of God nor to have a Message from God but from men according to your consession and your Gospel must needs be chargeable and burthensome to people contrary to that which the Apostle Preached Pr. In page 21. thou accuseth G. W. to be ignorant of the literall Knowledge of the Scriptures because he asks them Where the Levites had Houses and Lands and Tythes appointed of God for their service And thou brings these Scriptures Lev. 25. 32. and Numb. 35. 3. where it mentions what Cities they shall have to dwell in c. and brings Deut. 27. 21. which speaks nothing of the Priests Tythes Houses nor Lands but of another thing which is nothing to what thou would prove Ans. Here thou art Ignorant of the literall Knowledge of the Scriptures we never denyed that they had Houses and Cities to dwell in And what i● they had five and forty Cities with their Suburbs what is this to prove that they had Houses and Lands and Tythes for their s●rvice appointed of God Hast thou not read in Numb. 18. 20. where the Lord spoke unto Aaron saying thou shalt have no Inheritance in their Land neither shalt thou have any part among them I

am thy part and thine Inheri●ance among the Children of Israel Ver. 21. And behold I have g●ven of Levy all the tenth in Israel for an Inheritance for their service which they serve even the service of the Tabernacle of the Congregation And hast thou not read Deut. 10. 9. Wherefore Levy hath no part nor Inheritance among their brethren the Lord is his Inheritance as the Lord God promised him c. And hast thou not read Deut. 18. 1. 2. The Priests the Levites and all the Tribe of Leui shall have no p●rt nor Inheritance with Israel they shall eat the Offerings of the Lord made by fire and his Inheritance Therefore shall they have no Inheritance among their Brethren the Lord is their Inheritance as the Lord hath said c. And hast thou not read Joshua 13. 14. Onely unto the Tribe of Levy he gave none Inheritance the sacrifice of the Lord God of Israel made by fire was their Inheritance as the Lord hath said And hast thou not read Ezek. 44 28. I am their Inheritance saith the Lord and ye shall give them no possession in Israel I am their possession Now this was their Inheritance and Possession and that which they had for their service was the Tythe and out of that all the Widowes Strangers and Fatherlesse was to come to the Priests Gate and be satisfied that there should not be a begger in Israel But though the Priests in England have the Tythes yet there are Widowes Strangers and Fatherlesse that wants and many beggers in England and by their covetousnesse is many oppressed and their goods taken from them whereby they are brought to suffer want but the Lord hath opened the bowels of compassion in some to pitty and supply those which the Priests ●er their cov●tous ends make merchandise of Now this I have declared that all such may see themselves if so be that God at any time will give them repentance that they may be saved Another snare hath Sam Hammond runne himselfe into by perverting the Apostles words when he bids them Prove all things and hold fast that which is good these words Sam. Hammond limits to this that they must try what is according to the mind of Christ and hold that Ans. That is not all things but one thing but they were to try all things what was according to the mind of Christ and what was not and try the spirits whether they be of God and when they had tryed what was according to the mind of Christ and what was not and what spirit was of God and what was not then they were to hold fast that which was good But S. H saith must they try sinne and must they goe heare the Papists to try their Doctrine Ans. Thou art very blind and dark in thy understanding Is there no trying of sinne but by entering into the experimentall practice of it Ans. Yes The Lord ha●h given us of his spirit by which we are able to try your Ministery your Wages your Covetousnesse and your cruelty and slandering of the Innocent and yet not enter into any of your practises and as we try you so we doe the Papists likewise not from the Orthodox writers as thou calls them but by the spirit of the living God And Paul did not bid the Thessalonians goe to some Orthodox Writers to try either Spirit or Doctrines by their Books But thy end in speaking these words is That people should not heare us declare the Truth lest they should be converted to God and brought off all false wayes and worships which they have long been kept under by thy perverting of the Scripture to thy own end And if they must goe to thy Books as Orthodox to try us by there they may find thee speaking evill of us without a cause and laying open thy own nakednesse and ignorance of the things of God But if people once come to know the measure of Gods spirit and with that try and prove they will see tha● they have been alwayes learning but was never able to know the truth from any of your Teachings Againe thou goes to excuse the Magistrates of New-castle in their cruelty and hayling of the peaceable people of the Lord out of d●res and saith that it is their Zeale and Glory but Persecution was ever blind and that Zeale which sto●d in it And further thou saith that they know no Law that tolerates their Meetings Answer What! wilt thou shame the Magistrates of New-castle before all people What! ar● they ignorant of the Law of the Nation and of the Instru 〈…〉 of Goverment and by this account thou would ren●er ●hem uncapable of doing justice in New-castle or of executing their place of trust wherein they are put to doe justice and performe the righteousnesse of the Law But when they truely come to see thee and thy words they will have no great incouragement to give thee so great Wages for upbraiding them with their ignorance of the Laws of the Nation Pr. Againe thou empties the Venome of thy heart by false accusing not onely the living but the dead in saying that William Cotesworth of Shields hyred a House in New-castle but before that he could enjoy it the Lord stroke him with madnesse Ans. This is false for he did enjoy the House he hyred and others with him did meet peaceably in it and enjoy the Lords presence and teaching before the Lords stroke as thou calls it but doe not thou accuse the Lords stroke neither doe thou charge God with any indignation against him For when the Lord makes inquisition for the blood of his Saints thou wilt not be cleare in this in saying the Lord did witnesse against him or us in that particular Pr. Againe thou mentions a Shoomaker in New castle which thou saith was one of us and came and rayled against thee and was presently struke mad Ans. Here thou would make people beleeve wonders was he not mad before he rayled against thee And that Shoomaker was never any of us nor owned of us ever to be in the truth and he was mad and distracted before ever be saw us or we him But he that is in the gall of bitternesse must vent it out But the Lord doth keep us clear from the blood of all men and that truth which we are witnesses of shall stand for ever over all our Accusers who are filling up the measure of their iniquities by speaking all manner of evill against us as Christ said they should doe But in this we rejoyce When men speake all manner of evill against us falsly for his name sake for great is our reward in Heaven for even so persecuted they the prophets that went before us and this is that reproach which for his sake we must beare as he hath left us an example for the servant is not greater then his Lord Pr. The last thing in this Book is a story which thou tells to thy own shame Of thy hyring a

but from man many would have beleeved you for they know it is so but when you charge your own guilt upon the Apostle and say that he did not receive the Gospel from God but from man herein many wi●l beare witnesse against you for they know and beleeve to the contrary Priests eighth Principle That Gr●ce cannot be conveyed to any man from the Lord 〈◊〉 it 〈◊〉 the ordinary outward means of Preaching Ans. This is to limit God from his spirit and power within and Word in the heart as Rom. 10. to outward Preaching and to ordinary outward means this is blasphemy● as to say that God cannot convey Grace to any man but ●y outward Preaching And if you meane by your outward Preaching the Grace of God hath appeared to all men where your outward Preaching never came But in this all people may see your darknesse and that your offence is not onely against us but against the Apostles and against God himselfe for giving his Grace freely to people who will not be limited by you And by such Doctrines as these the Lord God hath made you to appeare as you are an ill savour in the Nation who goes not about onely to keep people from the gift of God in them but also to limit God from giving good gifts to his children who by the free Grace of God received from him without your outward Preaching shall witnesse against you and your outward Teaching by which he never conveyed 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Priests ninth Principle That the light spoken of in John 1. which enlightens every man c. is not sufficient to leade up to Christ Ans. In him was life and the life was the light of men Iohn 1. 4. And this was the true light which lightene●● every man that commeth into the World ver. 9. Now let all people consider whether the life of Christ which is the light of men be not able to leade to Christ or to the Father For he was the light of men that all men through him might beleeve ver. 7. And here is Christ and his light ●ccused yea his life accused not to be sufficient so it is no great matter if by those men we be accused when neither the Father nor the Sonne nor the holy Apostles of our Lord Iesus Christ can escape their accusation but we are not greater then they and so with patience we shall beare it for it is enough for the servant to be be as his Lord Priests tenth Principle That they know no such thing as Prophesie by immediate Inspiration or Revelation in these dayes Ans. No How should you know any Prophesie by Inspiration that knows not how God can give any Grace but by outward Preaching so you are farre from the gift of Prophesie who are yet ignorant of the spirit of Grace by which God gives Grace unto his children But though you know no such thing yet there is such a thing and the Lord is faithfull who hath promised Ieel 2. that he will powre out his Spirit upon Sonnes and Daughters Servants and Hand maids and they shall Prophesie And there is both Sonnes and Daughters Servants and Hand-maids that now doe Prophesie And there is no Prophesie but by immediate Inspiration And because that Sonnes and Daughters doe now Prophesie being Inspired by the holy Ghost and from the gift of God received therefore is your envy and rag● so great against them because you know no Prophesie nor no Gospel from God but from man and so you are contrary to the Apostles For he would have had Prophesying in the Church and bid them covet to Prophesie But these Priests forbid to Prophesie contrary to the Apostles Doctrine and Writing 1 Cor. 14. 39. Now when people ●ath tryed you What can they expect from you that knowe no Prophesie by Inspiration nor knows no Gospel from G●d nor knowes not the flesh of Christ nor no sufficiency in his light nor his spirituall Body which is in Heaven nor the Gospel which is the power of God nor no Knowledge of God by the Revelation of his Sonne and these being your maine Fundamentall Principles in which you so blasphemously are erred from the Truth it is now high ●nto to turne away from such for many people have been deceived by you for they had thought that you had had the Knowledge of those things which now it is manifest you are ignorant of And now blessed be the God of the spirits of all flesh who hath discovered your ignorance and blindnesse which for a time was hid under a pretence of words but now he hath rent the Vayle of the Covering and he is drying up the Fountaine of your Imaginations from whence your empty Words have proceeded that his life may have place in the Earth which is now breaking forth amongst his Children which are come to the Fathers Teachings which you have laboured to keep them from But now hath the Lord loosed their bands and brought them to his owne Teachings and into his owne Fould where they need no more your false meanings nor cousenings of those words which the Spirit of the Lord inspired in them which gave them forth And the Everlasting Day of God is broken forth upon us though Night be come upon you that you have no Vision and the secrets and Councels of the Lord is shut up from you that you have not a Word from his Mouth But truely the Lord is good to Israel even to them that be of an upright heart And the Lord is with us as a mighty terrible one therefore our persecutors shall stumble and they shall not prevaile they shall be greatly ashamed they shall not prosper their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten Ieremiah 20. 21. For now is the Lord establishing his Everlasting Covenant with his seed even his Covenant of life and peace with those in whom the Law of truth is in their Hearts and iniquity not found in their l●pps who walk with God in peace and equity and doe turne many away from their iniquities Mal. 2. 5. 6. And this shall all they witnesse that feare the Lord and that walke in the way of his Righteousnesse FINIS
