A Faithful WARNING TO Out-side Professors And Loose Pretenders to CHRISTIANITY of all Sorts COme all ye Professors of Scripture upon the Face of the whole Earth under what form soever what have ye learned hitherto of all that ye profess have ye learned to Fear God and keep his Commandments have ye learned thus to Love God and do you love your Neighbour as your selves do ye not profess to love God above all things and your Neighbour as your selves is this done what will a profession of words commend you to God where the obedience is awanting O thou that art called Christendom how art thou fallen how art thou become the Plant of a degenerate Vine how are thy Grapes become as those of Sodom who shall bring healing to thee who hast rejected the balm of Gilead that the Father brought to thee O Thou foolish Child how hast thou triffled out thy precious Time about Toyes and Triffles and hast not regarded the Voyce of thy Maker who hath waited all day long to gather thee and to do thee good but thou wouldst not Thou hast Chosen the worse part in that thou hast forsaken the Lord the Fountain of Living Waters and hast hewed and chosen to thy self a Cistern that will hold no Water Thou art gone into the wayes of the Old World upon whom the Flood came And which of those sins for which Sodom burned are a wanting in thee O! The pure River of Life that would quench thy thirst how is it slighted and neglected by thee And therefore art thou utterly unsatisfied in whatsoever thou dost or attempts to do Thou art never able to sati●te thy soul with husks Thou must come into the Fathers house before thou hast Bread enough But thou sayst in thy heart Thou art a Queen yea That thou art Rich and indued with goods and hast need of nothing When as alas in the true Light that loves thy soul thou art seen to be miserable poore wretched blind and naked A long Course hast thou run but the promised end thou hast not reached thou hast been like a bewildred sheep running from Mountain to hill to find a resting place where no rest is Thou camest indeed a little out of Aegypt but O! how soon didst thou turn back again thither from whence thou came and loved the Flesh-Pots of Aegypt yea the Onyons and Garlick better then God's Manna in the Wilderness Thou shouldest have followed the Lord perfectly unto the Land of Rest in patience and silence of Spirit under his voice and teachings But thou grew weary of waiting upon thy God and saw Images of things on Earth and Images of things in Heaven and bowed thy heart to them and didst not keep thy heart to the power that broke through the Darkness for thee Nor didst thou keep thy eye to the Light of Life that freely shined out of Darkness for thee to have guided thee through the dark-howling Wilderness to Sion But thou being careless and selfish thou lend thy ear to the voyce of the stranger that cryed Lo here and Lo there and so wast thou led out of the Way into By-Pathes of sin and death where thou hast been lost from the true Life and true Light and Spirit that wrought in thee in the beginning And thou hast not to this day throwly considered thy loss nay very little is thy nakedness and wretchedness laid to heart in thee And now therefore thou that art called Christendom What is the Wood of thy Vine seeing thou hast lest off to bear Fruit to the Lord better then the Wood of another Tree nay it is not so good as any For if the Salt that should season other things have lost its Savour wherewith shall it be salted and of what use is it but even to be trodden under feet of men O! that thou wert wise to consider at least in this thy day the things of thy peace in this great day wherein the Bridegroom which hath been as one travelled into a far Country is come again and is appeared in his antient love power and perfection to visit thee and to seek thee up out of every place where thou hast been scattered from sin in the long Night of Apostacy to see if any of the pure love that was in thee in the day of thy Espousals may be recovered to himself out of thee that he may know how to do thee good and how to make manifest his antient love unto thee which burned the hearts of his simple Israel into such love of his goodness as to follow the Lamb wheresoever he went in the beginning But O thou polluted Woman how art thou wandred away from the true Sheep-fold how art thou gone a whoring from under thy God! how art thou covered with the shades of Night and how art thou lost amongst the Countries and mingled with the Heathen yea thou hast chosen thy own wayes and worshipped the works of thy own hands and hast cast the pure law of God behind thy back Yea the Light of the Glorious Gospel of Christ which hath shined to thee and would have gathered thee up to God thou hast rejected and hast not liked to retain God nor his light in thy knowledge And so thou art become vain in thy mind and thy foolish heart is become so dark that thou worships thou knows not what like those that know not God and art become a prey to every Beast of the Field and art bowed in thy heart to the creatures more then to the living God the Creator And therefore will he arise in thee in great Majesty and dreadful Power and will yet again bring to pass his Act his strange Act in thee And he will not meet thee as a man but as a consuming Fire because thou hast rejected his goodness patience and forbearance And hast heaped to thy self teachers after thy own heart who have rocked thee asleep with their false voices crying peace peace when t●eir was no peace for Their is no peace to any wicked on saith the True God forever profess what they may For the Lord is come to look for Fruits And now Wo Wo to the Fruitless Trees to the Briers and Thorns for the fire of the Lord God will consume them And now will the Lord God bring to nothing all thy Might Wisdom Glory and Greatness whereby thou hast exalted thy self and dishonoured him and the meek shall inherit heaven and earth And blessed is he that overcometh that evil and wicked spirit that so much reignes and rages in thee for he shall be called God's Son and shall inherit all things as saith Scripture For the end cometh and who shall stop the course of the everlasting Sun of Righteousness whose day is dawned blessed for evermore O thou Corrupted Earth who wallowes in the blood of thine Iniquity who art become Deaf to the heavenly voice and art become an Enemy to nothing so much as to that good thing that would unburden thee of thy
