Rom. 2.6 7 8 9 10 11. where the Apostle saith that God will render unto every Man according to his Deeds To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for Glory and Honour and Immortality Eternal Life But unto them that are Contentious and do not obey the Truth but obey Unrighteousness Indignation and Wrath Tribulation and Anguish upon every Soul of Man that doth Evil of the Jew first and also of the Gentile But Glory Honour and Peace to every Man that worketh Good to the Jew first and also to the Gentile For there is no respect of Persons with God Therefore what is said unto the Priests is said to the People of all Professions Search the Scriptures and see where you do find your Condition in the Scriptures whoso lives in Wickedness being guided by the wicked One Woes and the Plagues of God they may expect as the Scriptures declare Isa 3.11 Wo to the Wicked it shall be ill with him for the Reward of his hands shall be given him First therefore thou that lives in a Profession of God and Christ in Words and acts not the same in Deed and Truth read Mat. 23.5 but these things dost to be seen of Men this was their Practice to whom the Wo was due Mat. 23.27 to 37. Read You that have got the Prophets Christ's and the Apostles Words to talk of and Paint your selves outwardly with a Form of Godliness but deny the Power thereof and Hate and Persecute those who live in the Life of what you Profess the Woes the Damnation of Hell you may read there to be your Portion unless you Repent You Hypocrites consider betime and Repent that you may escape it And in the next place you that would have the good word of all this may be accounted Wisdom so to Conform but it is that Wisdom which is from beneath from the Serpents Seed to which the Curse is therefore thou that wouldest have all to speak well of thee read Luke 6.26 Wo unto you when all Men shall speak well of you This may seem strange to others as it did unto me whose desire is to have all to speak well of them Now this is not to encourage any for to walk so as to give any just occasion for any to speak evil of them but on the contrary as Christ doth Exhort in the next Verses to Love your Enemies do good to them which Hate you Bless them that Curse you and Pray for them which Despitefully use you Yet this I know and so all others find it as they come to walk up in Obedience to that which is pure of God in them it is so cross and contrary unto that which guides the World even all Men of what Profession soever being guided by another Seed they cannot have their good words as formerly the Enmity between the two Seeds that is the cause therefore thou that hast the good word of the wicked question thy Condition thou hast great cause lest thou art not under the blessing of God but under the Wo of Christ And thou whose desires is to get Wealth by Fraud and Deceit Lying and Dissembling and may call this a provident Care for thy Self and Family thou Infidel that darest not trust God but acts contrary unto that of him in thee that tells thee in secret that thou oughtest not so to do read Hab. 2.9 Wo unto him that coveteth an evil Covetousness to his House that he may set his Nest on High And all you who live in the Lust of the Flesh the Lust of the Eye and Pride of Life which things are not of God read 1 John 2.16 Lusting after strong Drink not only to be Drunk themselves but to make others Drunk read Hab. 2.15 Isa 28.1 Wo to the Crown of Pride to the Drunkards of Ephraim So others from the Lust within let the Eye loose after Beauty fine Apparel and the like all these proceed from one Root the Unrighteous Seed within to which the Plagues and Woes of God are due and the Kingdom of God it must not Inherit therefore let none deceive themselves with vain hopes but read 1 Cor. 6.9 10. Know ye not that the Unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God c. but such if they Repent not must be for the Lake and the Wine-press of the Lord's Wrath without the City with whatsoever worketh Abomination or telleth a Lye Rev. 21.8 27. 14.19 20. Therefore all People of all Professions consider your own Condition your Life and Practices take the Scriptures search and see where you can find out your own Condition and amongst whom whether amongst the Godly or amongst the Wicked and that you may take and read the Portion laid down in Scripture belonging unto your Practice And do not meddle with others Conditions laid down in Scriptures nor the Promises that were made to them so as to apply them to your selves whilst in your Sins that did Fear and Serve the Lord who when they witnessed the same fulfilled in them they were made to rejoyce with Trembling Psalm 2.11 which is now witnessed by many Praises to the Lord our God for evermore who hath arisen to our joy although we be such as are cast forth and reproached as they were who did Fear before the Lord and Tremble at his Word by such as did pretend to Glorifie God as in Isa 66.5 This Scripture we whom the World in Scorn call Quakers of which Name I am not ashamed being one whose Flesh hath been made for to Tremble and Bones to Shake at the Judgments of the Lord and at his Word as the Holy Men of God did read Ezra 10.3 9.
