A43753	To all the inhabitants of the earth this is sent as a warning from the Lord, vvho hath been long grieved with a sinful and an adulterous generation; but against the fulness of transgression hath prepared vialls full of wrath to cast upon the head of wicked and ungodly men. Here is also the vain traditional worship of both priest and people (in short) plainly made menifest to all those that art not willing to remain in ignorance, which for many years hath overspread the whole world; but now is the son of righteousness arising, which discovereth all deceivers and deceivableness, and causeth the lowly, meek and innocent to understand wisdom. Written by a servant of the Lord, who is known to you by the name of John Higgins.	Higgins, John, 1633-1667.	1658 (1658)	Wing H1952C; ESTC R215938	6,721	10

in_o the_o mouth_n of_o fool_n and_o child_n and_o be_o look_v upon_o as_o one_o unto_o who_o some_o strange_a thing_n have_v happen_v and_o be_o despise_v and_o reject_v by_o those_o that_o be_v my_o companion_n in_o wickedness_n and_o mischief_n in_o the_o day_n wherein_o i_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o course_n of_o this_o world_n but_o before_o the_o strength_n of_o sin_n be_v perfect_v in_o i_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o love_n call_v i_o and_o pluck_v i_o as_o a_o brand_n out_o of_o the_o fire_n yea_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n be_v so_o that_o oftentimes_o though_o young_a in_o year_n when_o i_o be_v in_o the_o way_n of_o sin_n and_o evil_a the_o witness_n of_o god_n in_o my_o own_o conscience_n accuse_v and_o let_v i_o see_v the_o evil_a of_o my_o way_n and_o then_o my_o own_o heart_n condemn_v i_o in_o secret_a which_o cause_v i_o many_o time_n to_o mourn_v and_o walk_v sad_o in_o the_o sensible_a feeling_n of_o the_o lord_n just_a judgement_n in_o my_o heart_n and_o conscience_n against_o the_o evil_a of_o my_o way_n though_o not_o so_o wicked_a and_o common_a in_o all_o gross_a sin_n as_o many_o of_o my_o familiar_n be_v yet_o be_v i_o not_o free_a from_o fear_n and_o torment_n in_o my_o own_o heart_n and_o in_o this_o estate_n i_o go_v often_o to_o the_o place_n call_v the_o church_n think_v thereby_o to_o get_v peace_n in_o my_o own_o heart_n and_o by_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n i_o think_v there_o to_o find_v but_o from_o thence_o i_o come_v mourning_n and_o trouble_a in_o spirit_n because_o in_o that_o which_o be_v call_v good_a duty_n i_o find_v no_o peace_n nor_o satisfaction_n to_o the_o oppress_a in_o i_o and_o here_o i_o witness_v true_o that_o sin_n be_v to_o i_o a_o burden_n so_o that_o many_o time_n i_o go_v apart_o into_o the_o field_n to_o pray_v and_o mourn_v in_o secret_a desire_v nothing_o more_o than_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o only_o true_a god_n which_o save_v from_o sin_n for_o the_o want_n of_o which_o be_v my_o sorrow_n so_o after_o a_o time_n in_o this_o condition_n the_o lord_n hear_v the_o true_a desire_n and_o raise_v a_o swift_a witness_n in_o i_o that_o the_o way_n of_o man_n be_v

and_o receive_v redemption_n from_o sin_n and_o salvation_n from_o condemnation_n be_v witness_v according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o faith_n in_o christ_n the_o light_n by_o which_o sin_n be_v
