is a Crown of righteousness and glory that in due time we shall reap if we faint not Therefore dear friends let not us be ignorant of Gods great work which he is now a working upon the face of the earth but let us that be children of the day be sober and watch knowing that these are the days of vengeance in which all things must be fulfilled that are written in the Prophets and the signes of the coming of the Lord are upon the face of the earth even distress of Nations and perplexity Kingdom against Kingdom and City against City and mens hearts failing them for fear and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth but yet let us remember the promises Rom. 10.13 It shall come to pass that whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved and again Heb. 13.5 6. he hath said I will never leave thee nor forsake thee so that we may boldly say The Lord is our helper and we will not fear what man can do unto us therefore let us remember the words of our Lord Christ Luke 21.28 When these things begin to come to pass then look up and lift up your heads knowing that your Redemption draweth nigh Wherefore this is my humble advice to all that fear the Lord that we labour now to approve our Consciences before God by being to him that Redeemed us a peculiar people zealous of good works knowing that is the end of our Redemption and preservation Tit. 2.14 Let us therefore consider that Christ is that great Prophet by whom God hath spoken to us in these last days Heb. 1.12 And that we are commanded to hear him in all things whatsoever he shall say unto us Act. 3.22 23. And his sheep are they that hear his voice and follow him Joh. 10.27 and the voice of a stranger will they not follow vers. 5. and we are his friends if we do whatsoever he hath commanded us Joh. 15.14 and he that hath his commandments and keepeth them it is he that loveth him Joh. 14.21 for this is the love of God that we keep his commandments and his commandments are not grievous 1 Joh. 5.3 But he that saith he loveth Christ or knoweth Christ and keepeth not his commandments is a lyer and the truth is not in him 1 Joh. 2.4 5. with Joh. 18.24 and whosoever transgresseth and abideth not in the Doctrine of Christ hath not God 2 Joh. 9. and if any shall come to you and preach any other doctrine then what is already preached receive him not ver. 10. yea if we or an Angel from Heaven shall preach any other Gospel then that which we have preached to you saith Paul let him be accursed as we said before so say I now again let him be accursed Gal. 1.9 10. for how shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation as was first preached by the Lord himself and was confirmed to us by them that heard him God bearing them witness both with signes and wonders and divers gifts of the Holy Ghost according to his own will Heb. 2.3 4. Wherefore dear brethren and beloved in the Lord let us contend earnestly for the faith that was once delivered to the Saints Jude vers. 3 4. even as it was delivered at the first by the Lord himself and his holy Apostles For there are certain men crept in unawares which do turn this grace of our Lord Jesus Christ into wantonness and deny the Lord that bought them in their actions although they confess him in their words and do also think to make us forget and deny him by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour as the Lord saith Jer. 23.27 Let us therefore seeing we know these things before beware lest we also being led away with the errour of the wicked fall from our own stedfastness but let us grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Iesus Christ let us abide in his love by keeping his commandments Joh. 15.10 and continue his friends by doing whatsoever he hath commanded us ver. 14. so shall we have a good conscience void of offence towards God through our Lord Iesus Christ and boldness and access with confidence through faith in his blood unto that throne of grace where he ever liveth to make intercession for us To him be glory for ever Lastly we must exercise a good conscience towards man even by doing to all as we would they should do to us but in a special manner we ough to have respect unto the Magistrates whom God hath set over us to do to them even as we would they should do to us viz. If we would that they should protect and preserve us in well-doing we ought also to assist and aid them both with persons and estates without which they are not able to suppress wicked and ungodly men they being without us but private or particular persons Therefore I desire that all christians may be put in minde to be subject to principalities and powers and to obey magistrates to be ready to every good work and not to speak evil of any man to be no brawlers but gentle shewing all meekness to all men Tit. 3.1 2. We know also that there is no power but is of God for the powers that be are ordained of God and therefore he that resisteth them resisteth the ordinance of God especially when Rulers are not a terrour to good works but to the evil therefore we must needs be subject to such not onely for wrath but also for conscience sake let us consider them as the servants of God set over us for our good to take vengeance and execute wrath upon them that do evil Let us render to all their due tribute to whom tribute is due custom to whom custom fear to whom fear honour to whom honour belongeth see Rom. 13. But I know some will object that we ought indeed to pay tribute and custom to whom it is due and to give honour to whom honour belongeth but it belongs not to this present Power and Authority for the Scripture saith that we should Fear God and Honour the King and that we should be subject to every ordinance of man for the Lords sake and to the King as supreme But these have rebelled and slain their King therefore neither honour obedience nor tribute belongs to them To which at present I answer That to the end this stumbling-block may be taken away and a right understanding may come in the place and a true affection to these present Rulers may be begotten in the hearts of those people that stumbled and a general reconciliation might speedily be brought forth amongst all men I have presumed to present these ensuing lines to their view knowing before that enemies will except against the most perfect Truth and soundest Reason witness their excepting against the Word of God but friends will bear with infirmities Wherefore I desire you that are
