A60651	A short testimony on the behalf of truths innocency declared in plainesse and simplicity : being done at the command of the Lord God that all out of the truth may see their way and proceed no further : vvith a discovery of the national ministry, whose time now is, and is no more / by one who loves truth and rightousnesse and desires the nations peace, and the good of all people, who amongst many brethren is called a Quaker, but known by the name of William Smith.	Smith, William, d. 1673.	1660 (1660)	Wing S4328; ESTC R15197	12,349	16

your time in your hand so you can run with the times and turn with the times and what the times are you are the same in shew this is your own time and now it is Behold it passeth away and is no more for God is dividing the times and raising his own Seed in his own time which in your time you cannot comprehend How have you limitted the holy One in your observing times you have had your time so much in your own hand that you have forgotten the Lord whose power is unlimited and his time unchangeable and you have brought forth your own Inventions in your own time and have set them up for Doctrine and Worship and you have not regarded Gods time which is in his own hand so he is not to be found amongst you nor in your time but hath left you and departed from you and you are become like a barren Wildernesse and a wilde Forest where Bryars and Thorns grow and if any cannot observe your times then you take hold like briars and tears them and strikes like a thorne into their side and this is the Spirit of Presecution that reigns in you O ye National Ministry there is sufficient witnesses against you who are oppressed by you in the Prisons this day into which you have caused them to be haled and torn with your briars and where you prick them with your thornes and is not this your Work at this day When will you be weary of it you perverse men of Corrupt minds who are after earthly things acting against God and his People for filthy lucre sake And for this end you can be any thing in shew and turne with all times that your Gain from your Quarter may be upheld to you but the Lord is uncovering you to your shame for ever though your Time seem now to be for the Lord is against you and his controversie is with you and all that strive to uphold you and you must all fall together and there shall be none to delivery on out of his hands And thus you have served the times thorow all the Changings and Turnings and now you have it but it is no more You sigh deep and draw your breath from far for that which is out of time is come to reign over you and you are now striving for your life not being willing to die what a time have you and what a life do you live Consider it in the fear of God and let your Envie and Malice cease towards those that cannot uphold the things in which your time and life is What is it you would doe in your time Would you build your Nests so high that the Lord may not see you Or would you inclose your selves with Cedars that he may not find you out Declare what is in your minds to the Nations that People may be satisfied concerning you How do you manifest your selves to be of the wicked One who with a secret breath blows the Coals until they kindle and break out into flames and all this hath been done in your own time which makes you manifest to be of Cains Race and in the Wolves Nature for the day hath declared you and nothing can cover you from the all-seeing Eye of God but your inward parts is opened and an ill savour arises from you and all your Merchandize is become loathsome to the Upright in heart and they cannot buy them any more Therefore behold where you are and what is the place of your Rest for Babylon must be destroyed and all her Merchants must be spoyled and you must not be spared who are found in the midst of her for the Lord God is strong that Judgeth her and he will dash all her Brats against the stones and burne her with fire and you that favour her shall then Mourn for her and you that have taken up your Rest in her Lap and partakes with her of her sins you must partake of her Plagues and destruction will come upon you in one day and a Hiding place you will not find This is from the Lord God unto you that you may come out of Babylon and Trade no longer in her nor drink no more of the Wine of her Fornication nor do not cause others to drink of the Cup of her Abomination But all be still in your minds and wait to know the measure of God in you that the Light of Christ which doth enlighten you may be your Guide that your Eyes may be opened and all your confusion discovered unto you that you may see your way and come to Repentance for you are not fit to be Teachers of others while Envy and malice remains in your hearts and while you are Time-servers and Men-pleasers and loves your pleasures more than God You are not like Christs Ministers who knows the love of God in Christ shed abroad in their hearts and in his love are constrained to serve him and to deny all for him Therefore come out of Babylon and keep not People any longer in her with your Inchantments and Sorceries with which you deceive but come to the light of Christ with which you are enlightened that his power you may know to crucifie the proud Nature in which you live so will you come to a good understanding of the things that belongs to your peace and know the Lords time in his own hand and his own arm that perfects his own work to his own praise and do not strive against God nor fret not your selves when he appears but walk like sober men and let every man stand in his freedom that he hath in God in which he answers a good Conscience unto God and be content with such maintenance as they are free to allow you and give over forcing and compelling suing and imprisoning those that are not of you nor cannot joyn with you for Conscience sake for that is not the practice of Christs Ministers neither is there any Scripture on your side by which you can prove your practise warrantable but it arises from the Beast and the Whore which gives life to the false Prophet who must all be taken alive and cast into the Lake where the worm never dies nor the fire is not quenched and their carkases shall be an abhorring to all flesh and their time shall be no more THE END
