A77973	A vvarning from the Lord to the inhabitants of Underbarrovv, and so to all the inhabitants in England, where it shall meet with them, who holds up the false teachers, and false worship, and who beats, stone, stock, and persecute, and hail out of their assemblies, those who are sent by the Lord, to speak his word freely; with an exhortation, that they hast to meet the Lord by true repentance, by putting off the works of darkness, lest the Lord cut them assunder, by his sword, which is already drawn and put into the hand of his servants. Also, a word to my brethren, and companions in tribulation in the kingdome and patience of Jesus Christ, who is by the world scornfully called Quakers. With the manner of my passage through the dark world, (wherein the simple ones may see the deceits of the man of sin in his actings like the true spirit) to warn all to follow the true light within, which leads unto God, & to beware of the voice, lo here & lo there, by one who is a labourer in the vineyard, who is not known to the world; (though named of the world) Edvvard Burrough.	Burrough, Edward, 1634-1662.	1654 (1654)	Wing B6057; Thomason E733_5; ESTC R206899	28,263	40

but persecuted him who came to fulfil the Law and who hath the substance of the Prophets he hath the Saints Conditions and Experierces in the Letter but who are brought to witness the same Conditions and the same strait way in which they walked He is an enemy to all people to you from God I do Declare it he is one that God never sent to speak his Word to you he calls good evil and evil good and puts light for darkness and darkness for light and therefore Wo is his Portion and Wo is the Portion of all that upholds him What will ye do in the end thereof He doth bewitch you to observe That Calling is an Ordinance of God which he never commanded Poor people your souls lies in the death under the power of darkness and corruption under your dead Minister and under his dead carnal Observances and your dark Minds your Wit and Reason is only fed and so the enemies of the Lord are strengthned by him and you remain in ignorance and in blindness and cannot attain the true Riches for Christ only is the Way to the Father the Light in every man which leads to the Father but this Light he denies as having enlightned every one that comes into world as several times he hath done to me in Argument Here he makes Christ a lyar and doth not know the first Principle of Religion nor the Light which leads unto God but is a Heathen and knows not God for this is the Light which all the Servants of God in all generations witnessed and which Light we do now witness praised be the Lord for evermore who hath in his Light led us to himself and hath shewed the Deceits of him to us and of all such as he is he is in the generation shutting the kingdom of Heaven against men neither entering h●mself nor suffers others to enter that are entering Through the power of the Lord made manifest am I bold to Declare against him who walks not in the Doctrine of Christ and therefore is an Antichrist and doth deceive you professing himself to be sent of God and walking contrary to the Truth of God a Hypocrite saying and not doing Ye my Country-men be not deceived by him try him by the Scriptures and see how he walks according to the Declaration as they did who were Ministers of Christ not by the Will of man but his Ministery is by man and according to man and had his Call from man as it is known to you all but they who were true Ministers witnessed the contrary neither received they their Gospel from man but by the Revelation of Jesus The true Ministers of Christ sent forth by Christ witnesses now the same thing for Christ the same that ever he was which is now made manifest in the Saints and his Ministery is the same which is not by man but contrary to man be not deceived God will not be mocked for he is terrible and his day is powerful and dreadful that shall come upon the Heathen and upon the workers of iniquity and upon all D●ssemblers and Hypocrites all your carnal Worship and Ordinances and Observances is but mocking of God and dissembling with him and is but an imitation and an imagination of the Mind of fallen man imitated by you and your Minister droven by the imaginations from the true Worship of God which the Saints in former generations was exercised in who was led not by imagination as you are but by the Spirit of God as all the Servants of God are Now as ever was true Baptism ●own which is by the holy Ghost and with Fire and the Baptism with one Spirit into one Body do we witness but that which your Chief Priest and false Hireling hold up I Deny it it is not of God but is an imitation and is abomination in the sight of God and therefore from God do I Declare against it and against your Hireling that upholds it among you True Communion of Saints I own for we have Union and the Bread which we break is the Body of Christ and the Cup which we drink is the Blood of Christ by which we are nourished and fed up to eternal life for he that eats not Christs Flesh and drinks his Blood he hath no life in him he among you that can receive it let him but your Communion I Deny for it is Heathenish and no more but an imitation having proceeded out of the imagination of the Proud Your breaking of Bread and drinking of the Cup is abomination and God never commanded it and this doth your Pharisee uphold sitting in the Seat of Christ and of the Saints as the Pharisees did in Moses seat saying and not doing True singing I own with the Spirit and with understanding singing in the Spirit making melody in the heart to the Lord this singing was and is among the Saints in the Church of Christ this is well pleasing to God for it is not an imitation nor by tradition as your singing is but it is true Sacrifice the Song of the Redeemed ones which none can learn but the Redeemed ones of the Lord who is come and coming to Zion with songs and everlasting Joy upon their heads but your singing is Carnal Traditional and Heathenish and is an imitation and is not with the spirit of Jesus but with the spirit of the World with the spirit of Drunkards Swearers Lyars Mockers Scornners Covetous ones with the spirit of Wrath Envie Malice with the spirit of Cain with the spirit of the Scribes and Pharisees and chief Priests who persecuted the Saints which sang in truth in former generations and now the deceit is turned into the form of singing and they that live there persecutes them that sings in the power for thus it was ever They that lived in Profession in the Word Outwardly persecuted them that lived in the power of which was Professed and there you and your Hireling is but know that the Lord will take an account of you and give unto every man his reward according to his deeds You and your Priest have got the Form of Baptism of the Communion of Singing and of a Church but the power and substance of these Ordinances you know not for they are hid from all vulturouus eies and from the generation of the Pharisees and Serpents who are called of men Master and which have the chief place in the Assemblies as your Hireling hath and who is called of men Master as they were which Christ cryed Wo against true Preaching of Jesus Christ Crucified we own and do witness for the Preaching is out of the Will of man out of Form and Custom and is foolishness to the wisdom of the World now as it was ever this is not with the inticing words of mans wisdom but in the demonstration of the Spirit and of Power and the Preaching of the Word

as all these thy Teachers do who are called of men Masters as they were and have the chiefest place in the Assemblies as they had and Praied standing as these thy professed Ministers do Now the same Light which ever was the Saints did which is Jesus Christ is now born and made manifest which is witnessed among the saints in which Light I see all thy Teachers O England to be drunk with the Wine of her that hath deceived the nations who sits upon a scarlet coloured Beast and is arrayed in purple and scarlet colour and decked with gold and precious stones and hath the golden cup in her hand full of abominations whose name is writen in her forehead Mystery Babylon the great the Mother of Harlots and abomination of the Earth And in this Light do I declare against them all which are in the generation of the false Prophets of Israel which seeks for their gain from their Quarter and which steals the word from their neighbor and have taken the words of the Prophets of Christ and of his Apostles and selleth the divination of their own brain upon the Scriptures which the holie men speak forth freelie to the poor blind people and teacheth for the fleece and if ye stop not into their mouths they prepare War against you and which are called of men Master which Christ forbids Against all these freelie as from the Lord I do Declare to be no Ministers of Jesus Christ but are Seducers and blind Guides and are Antichrists and leads the poor blind people in the waies of death and destruction for they are no Ministers of Christ that abides not in the Doctrine of Christ these have run but hath not been sent by God and therefore is not your Souls profited by them but are in the dark heathenish nature as by your fruits is made manifest leaning in the imaginations and not in the counsel of the Lord and in lying swearing drunkenness covetousness and oppression and according to the course of this world these iniquities are ruling among People Priests and Rulers in this Nation from the least of them even to the greatest everie one is given to covetousness from the Prophet even to the Priest everie one deals falselie All your Hirelings and greedie dumb Dogs I do denie and all who are of God denies all such and are taught of God in the waies of God which ever the world derided All thy Teachers O England is denied of them who are taught of God and whose Teacher is the anointing needs not anie man to teach them And by thy Teachers who are in the way of the Pharisees art thou blindlie led in the waies of darkness and ignorance and all thy carnal worship which is in everie part of thee upheld which is to Read Sing and Preach upon the Saints Conditions which were witnesses of God All this I do denie and freelie declare against as from the mouth of the Lord to be no worship of God but imagination and an imitation of the Worship of God And the living eternal God of Heaven and Earth is but mocked by you in your imagined worship for your reading of anothers condition and singing of that which you live not in and preaching that which is gathered from without by imagination and conceiving upon that which the Prophet Prophesied or which Christ spoke who was and is the substance and which the Apostles witnesses this is carnal and heathenish and was never commanded by the Lord nor is no worship of the true God and against this worship I do from the Lord declare as in the eternal Light of God seeing it to be deceitful and abomination to the Lord being I am Redeemed up to God by his eternal Spirit and to worship in Spirit and in Truth and am not limited to a day place or time neither at Jerusalem nor in this Mount c. and am freed and redeemed out of this fallen mans invention and tradition which is but Cains sacrifice which God doth not accept but is abomination in his sight praised be the Lord for evermore And O England I do declare against all these thy Teachers and against all this thy Worship as from the mouth of the Lord as moved of the Lord to speak this word unto thee Thou hast spent thy money this manie Generations for that which is not bread and thy labor for that which doth not satisfie thee all thy imagined formal Worships and carnal Traditions and Ordinances of man is the Lord risen in his servant to declare against And the same Light which ever made manifest deceitful Worships and the deceitful Hirelings and them that cried Peace peace to the people when the Lord spake no peace is now risen and speaketh in thy ears O Nation the same everlasting Light which the true Prophets lived in who cried against them that sought for their gain from their Quarter and that cried against the horrible filthie thing which is upheld in thee O England this same Light is made manifest in the despised People called Quakers in this North part of the Nation O People your Teachers hath beguiled you and have taught for the fleece and fed themselves with the fat but your souls are hungred by them for they are in the Generation of them that said and did not they love the wages of unrighteousnes and follows the Error of Balaam for reward and have devoured souls for dishonest gain but the onlie true God is arising to beat the mountains to dust and to cleave the rocks asunder In thee O Land will the Lord make manifest his power and will stretch forth his arm for the deliverance of his Chosen and for the redemption of his two witnesses which hath laid slain in the great City in this Land which they that dwell upon the earth have rejoiced over and made merrie and triumphed in their slaughter the Lord is arising to require his flock at the hands of the Idols shepheard O ye Idol dumb Shepheards the Lord will be avenged upon you for you have scattered the sheep of his pasture and have fed your selves with them the Lord of Hosts is grieved with you and have shaken his hands at your dishonest gain and ye shall no longer wear Garments to deceive ye have long deceived the simple by your lies and by your lightness but now you are discovered and made manifest in the eternal Light of God and the mysterie of Witchcraft is not hid now from the Saints Therefore O England hear the Word of the Lord Thy Prophets are light and treacherous persons thy Judges Judges for reward and thy Priests preach for hire and thy Officers imprisons the just and thy Rulers are evening wolves which seeks for the prey and the Lord of Heaven and Earth is grieved with these things Therefore O Land tremble at the presence of the Lord God of Jacob for Esau shall become a place for Dragons and shall be disinhabited in
