A30535	A message to all kings and rulers in Christendom	Burrough, Edward, 1634-1662.	1659 (1659)	Wing B6014; ESTC R24243	5,550	10

Wilderness and the earth shall be refreshed and delivered from the oppressions and Tyrannies of Antichrist and the Whore for the hour of her judgements are come and the darknesse of the night of woful Apostacy which hath clouded the World is passing over and the light of the Lamb is risen and the day-star hath appeared in the hearts of people and the man of sin which hath sate in the Temple and shewed himself to be God and falsly exercised the bodies and consciences of deceived people in false wayes and worships is discovering and destroying by the spirit of his mouth and by the brightnesse of the coming of Jesus and the Beast and the false Prophet shall be taken alive and cast into the lake of fire and the Beast and false prophet shall be tormented day and night for ever for the breath of life from God is entered into the two witnesses and they shall again prophesie and the light of the glorious Gospel that hath long been hid must again be preached to Kindreds Tongues and Nations and the Kingdom of Christ Jesus must be set up and these things is the Lord God Almighty bringing to passe and he will confound and destroy Antichrist and all that have worshiped him and they that have worshiped the Beast and drunken the cup of fornication and committed idolatry with the great Whore they shall be taken and cast into the bed of torment and shall weep and howl because of the great destruction of Babylon that great City who hath been the glory of Kingdoms and made rich her Merchants the false Ministers with deceivablenes whom God will overthrow that great fenced City of confusion the false Church that great Whore the Mother of all abominations the Lord God is risen against her to enquire for the blood of Martyres and Prophets and righteous men that is found in her and she shall be rewarded according to her wayes and as she hath given others to drink the cup of fornication so in like manner shal she drink the cup of fierceindignation of the Lords wrath from his Saints and she shall no more deceive the Nations by her sorceries but the earth shall be delivered from her and the Kingdom of the Son of God shall be exalted over all and the light of the Lamb shall be the Light of all Nations and all that are saved shall walk in the light of it and truth shall reign and the fruit of righteousnesse shall abound and all people shall glorifie God their Maker and the whole earth shall be refreshed with the mercy of him that made her Wherefore all ye Kings Princes Parliaments Rulers through whole Christendom this is a request unto you all of a lover of Immortal soules that you will cease to commit fornication with the great Whore that you wil not any longer drink her cup of Idolatries neither that you wil causeNations to drink it neither that you will carry the great Whore any more nor receive her sorceries and inchantments to deceive your soules and bodies and this the Lord God Almighty who ought to be the fear dread of all Nations requireth of you and it is a charge to you in the presence of the Lord God that ye do not any longer defend the great City Babylon and the false Church with your weapons of cruelty and oppression neither that you will ever any more oppresse the persons and consciences of people on her part and on her defence but that you will wholly cast off the Whore and not suffer her to sit upon you and that you will not be Servants to her to execute her cruelties upon the bodies and consciences of people for these things have you done and therefore is the Lord displeased with you and therefore deliver your selves from the abominations of the folse Church and receive not her delusions neither impose them upon the peoples under you for now the judgements of the great Whore is come and the time that the Lord will reward her according to her wayes and she shall have of the fruit of her doings and if you will yet uphold her and commit fornication with her and compel the Nations to drink of her cup and cause all people to worship the Beast and to receive his mark as it hath been Then the Lord shall execute his vengeance upon you and you shall in no wise be deiivered Wherefore I say again unto you arise out of darknesse and come to the brightnesse of the light of the morning even to the Sons appearance and receive his Kingdom and lay down your Crowns at his feet for the Lamb is risen whose Crown is immortal and ye and all your glory and greatness and honor and power is but as dust ashes before him and he can break you down never build you up again and come out of great Babylon and forsake your city for the day of the Lord will sudenly come upon you for great Babylon is come into remembrance before the Lord to reward her with great indignation Wherefore this is a call unto you lay aside your Inquisitions your Goales and Houses of Correction and Prisons and all your torturing and persecuting of the Persons and Consciences of People about Worship Church and Ministry for in these things and by these weapons you have defended the Whore and through the force of your violent Laws and cruel impositions unjustly laid upon people have the Whore the false Church been carried by you and defended by you but lay aside all your cruel weapons and not persecute nor kill nor shed the blood of the Servants of the Lord by unjust Laws nor limit not the Spirit of God from crying against Babylon and reproving her iniquities for these things have you done in defence of the Whore for you have been the carriers of her the defenders and preserves of her by your unrighteous Laws and through you hath she sat as a Queen thinking she should nere see sorrow because ye have defended her and taken part with her and caused Nations to drink her cup for you have been the exec●t●rs of her pleasure to compel the Nations to commit Idolatry and to partake of her fornications and you give her authority to drink the blood of all that would not drink her cup and it is now time to forsake these your wayes and to learn wisdom from the Lord that you may rule in righteousnesse amongst men as men but not to be Rulers in Christs Throne nor his Kingdom by imposing such a Worship and such a Religion upon peoples Consciences and to destroy and kill all that will not thus worship to your image and bow according to your prescription this ye ought not to do nor the Lord never intrusted you with this power nor made you Rulers in his Kingdom nor to sit in his throne of conscience for while you have done this your authority hath been from the Dragon and not from the Lamb and now this the Lord requireth of you let conscience go free and rule not over the Inward man for while you do take that upon you to force such a Worship and such a Religion upon people contrary to the Spirit of God you are but servants to the great Whore Wherefore be warned for this is an invitation of love righteousnesse truth and just judgement mercy and peace unto you that you may know what the mind of the Lord is unto you and may do it and rule for God and not for man upon which dependeth the happinesse and welbeing of a Nation and Nations and their Rulers and on the contrary dependeth their overthrow and destruction and this will speedily be brought to passe wherefore come out of Babylon and deliver your selves from that bondage wherewith the false Church hath bound you she hath caused you to drink her cup and you have been made drunk with her false faith and doctrines and practises and ye have compelled Nations to drink the same cup of abominations and ye have executed cruelty and injustice upon all that would not and ye have been servants to the great Whore and being in bondage your selves you have brought all in bondage under you but now the Lord is changing times and things and powers and happy are you if ye deliver your selves and let the oppressed go free in so doing if ye fulfil this my request and do the will of the Lord herein then blessings and peace eternal but if ye be disobedient and take part continually with the Whore ye shall partake of her judgements And this hath the Lord spoken to you and in the day of vengeance ye shall confesse that you are warned By a Friend to the whole Creation that waits for the Redemption thereof Edward Burrough THE END
