The Mystery of Iniquity somewhat laid open In a Letter to the Present Governour wherein is also contained an History and Recital and Proposal of Sundry Things to be made known and remembred and to be done accordingly In that Letter which I carried to thine House at Kensington on November 3. 1691. which was there burnt as near as I can remember the words contained therein was to this following Effect viz. THAT I having published my Book Entituled Things Plain and Weigh●● c. There was an observable Marginal Note in Page 12. That God would remove the Government off from thy Shoulders and yet not hurt thy Person It was my Duty to make this known unto you as soon as ever this was printed and published which was before thy last Expedition into Flanders But I neglected to do it then for fear thou shouldest Imprison me which now thou hast done Yet I was again troubled at this my neglect least thou going into the Wars it should happen otherwise with thee than I had there written and so the things which belong to thy Peace had been passed away and gone from thee for all Eternity Which was very likely to have come to pass when thou satest under a Tree and soon after thou wast arose from thence a cannon bullet did strike the very place whereon thou satest if the publick Gazette be true that relates it after this manner Herein thou lovest thine Enemies and hatest thy Friends for thou hast declared this day in Imprisoning me who do really and unfeignedly desire thy Temporal Preservation and * See my printed Letter directed to thee at the Hague that thou mayest live out all those days which God hath appointed to the Life of Man upon Earth and therefore I would admonish thee to cease from and not venture thy self nor send others into these dangerous Wars for I do perceive according to the Mind that then and now thou art in if according to the Dictates and Insinuations of thy Foolish Flatterers and Admirers Thou hadst descended into Battel and perished there they would cry it up for Brave and Honorable and the Thoughts of this vain Glory and Praise doth please thee well and spur thee on though if it had so happened thy mind would have been changed for all Eternity for thy Soul would still remember and remain full of Indignation and Wrath. Tribulation and Anguish for what thou soughtest to be commended here on this Earth But now I do well come and congratulate thy ●●e coming here again into England And I do Pray and Hope that it will be exactly so done with thee according to that Word which God shewed unto me upon one of your appointed publick days of Fasting and Humiliation which I did then observe not for the Reasons mentioned in thy Proclamation for it but for the Sins and Hypocrisie of this People and that I might seek and Pray for their Good This same Word which then sprung up in my Heart and remained within me for several Months the Lord pardon my sinful Fear and Distrust in hiding within my Heart and concealing this Truth 〈◊〉 4● 10. so long for this ought not so to have been I did at length write it down and publish it to the Great Congregation for so it would be if now all were gathered together who have read or heard of this Word And I came on November ● 〈◊〉 put to thy dwelling place at Kensington for to signifie and make known this with many other things unto thee But instead of thy receiving and observing the Law and Word of God thy Servants did burn that Book wherein it was written and they did Imprison me for some little time in a place where they keep Coals This was somewhat like 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 in the days of Old But what came upon him for so doing Therefore 〈◊〉 saith the Lord of Jeho●●●● King of Judah He shall have none to sit upon the Throne of David and his dead Body 〈◊〉 be cast out in the day to the heat and in the night ●o t●● Fro●● And I will punish 〈◊〉 and his Seed and his Servants for their Iniquity And I will bring upon them and upon the Inhabitants of Jerusalem and upon the Men of Judah all the Evil that I pronounced against them but they hearkened not Jer. 36. 3● 31. Now what thy Servants O thou that art called King William do by thy Command or Approbation God interprets i● to be thine own Act. And here the former words are visibly true of thee thou shalt have none that is Issue of thy Body to sit upon the Throne of thy Father in Law As the Lord liveth and as sure as now thou livest thy day shall come to dye And though thy dead Body should be interred in the Royal Chappel at W●stm●●ster ●●b●y among the Ancient Kings of this Nation yet things may so alter and turn that it may be taken up again and be removed or exposed to Shame But most ce●●●i●ly it shall rise up at the last day and then it may be t●rown into devouring Fire and everlasting Burnings and it may become subject unto Gnashing of Teeth which is ten thousand times worse than to be cast out in the day to the Heat and in the night to the Frost According to the Proverb 〈◊〉 must be ver●●ad to be worse th●n a Turk But I tell thee Truly and Pla●nly that the Turks shall rise up in Judgment against thee and condemn thee for they out of Reverence to th● Great God of Heaven and Earth will take up any Paper wherein but so much as the Name of God is written and lay it up very carefully and they will not put it to any common or undecent use So far are they from tearing it or throwing it upon the Ground or b●rning it for the S●n or Provocation there see●s to be of ●he same nature as that is o● se● purpose to cut deface or burn the King's Picture which is esteemed as a great A●●ront unto him In like manner to do so unto his Truth which though clothed and expressed in a dead Letter it doth bear the Image and Superscription of him that is Invisible is a most hainous Off●nce such as words cannot well express the utmost Aggravation thereof God will answer that Man or Woman in a like Punishment for the same Word which goes ●orth from him will be a consuming Fire to devour its Adversaries He shall speak and it shall be done accordingly He shall give forth the Sentence by virtue whereof they shall go to Hell So that the same manner as a Man sinned by the same he shall be punished God will punish thee and thy Servants He will bring them out by their Names and by their Persons whosoever they be for this their Iniquity and he will bring upon you and upon the Inhabitants of England all the Evils which He pronounced against Ye but ye hearkened not It is so in the Mind and Purpose of God
