A77950	A measure of the times: and a full & clear description of the signes of the times, and of the changing of the times; and of the reign of Antichrist, who hath long reigned, and of his down-fall, which is at hand; and of the kingdom of Christ which is now setting up in the earth. Shewing unto all people in all nations, what the state of things hath been in ages past, and what the state of things are at this present day. ... And also, here it is manifest, concerning the teachers of this age, and the root from whence they sprang, who are manifest to be of that stock of false prophets, which Christ prophesied of should come, and which the Apostles saw was coming in their dayes, and how that the night of darknesse hath been upon all, for many generations: ... And also, the restauration is described, which shortly cometh, wherein Christ shall reign, whose right it is, and shall change laws and decrees, and the lamb shall be the light of all nations, ... and their King shall possesse the uttermost parts of the earth. By one who hath measured the times, who is come to the day that hath made all things manifest. Edw: Burrough.

and spoyling of their goods to the ruine of families almost for their maintenance as tythes and such like which if their consciences were not seared they could not doe also some of them cryed to the rude wicked people in their Idoll Temples fight lads for the Gospel and many who have borne witnesse to the truth and against their deceits have been beat and abused and knocked downe as for dead in their presence and their consciences are absolute seared else they would tremble at these things Also the Apostle Peter he saw false Prophets would come in 2 Pet. 2. And false teachers who would bring in damnable heresies even denying the Lord that bought them and many should follow their pernicious wayes and through covetousnesse with feigned words they would make merchandize of people and they would walke after the flesh in the lust of uncleanesse and despise government and be presumptuous and selfe willed and not afraid to speak evill of dignities and they would speak evill of things they understand not and their hearts are exercised with covetous practises and were cursed children and they sport themselves with their own deceivings and these had forsaken the right way and are gone astray following the way of Balaam who loved the wayes of unrighteousnesse and these are clouds that are carryed with a Tempest and they speak great swelling words of vanity and while they promise to others liberty themselves are the servants of corruption And such were scoffers and mockers which would come after the Apostles dayes and they would walke after their own lusts And now according to this prophesie of Peter who saw false teachers coming in he gave these characters of them whereby it doth plainly appeare that this generation of teachers are they and of that stock which then came in for these brings forth the very same fruits which they did which he spoke of and we knowe them by their fruits as Christ hath said for these have filled the world with damnable heresies as holding forth that sprinkling infants with water is baptisme into the faith of Christ and that a sleeple-house is the church and that singing Davids experiences in the world among wicked people in rime and meeter is singing to the praise of God and these are damnable heresies even to the denying the Lord that bought them for they deny the light of the Lord Jesus Christ given to every man to be the only teacher and the only guide of man and they that doe deny the light of Christ with which every man that comes into the world is lighted to be sufficient to lead to Christ and to the Kingdome of God as these teachers in this age doe they deny the Lord that bought them and many even whole Nations all the world as John saw in the revelations have followed their pernicious wayes and run after their Idolatry and pernicious wayes of superstitions and they doe make merchandize of soules through covetousnesse with their feigned words for where they can make their bargaine to have the most money there they will preach and no where else and if any will give them more the next yeare they will sell that people and goe to another for very covetousnesse by feigned words and they doe walke after the flesh in the lust of pride and covetousnesse which is uncleanesse of the flesh and they despise the Saints government and order for they will not suffer the Saints to prophesie one by one in their assemblies according to the Saints government but doth despise that and persecute it by the government of the Beast unto whose government they are subject and not to the government of Christ and the Saints and thus they are presumptuous and selfe-willed presuming to afflict and cause the children of God to be cast into prison and suffering them to be beat and abused by their flock out of their wicked selfe wills and they are not afraid to speak evill of dignities and doth speak evill of the wayes of God and of his truth which they understand not and their hearts are exercised with covetous practises and are cursed children for they make poor people that hath but ten eggs give them one and that hardly can get any fewell for the fire pay them a penny for the smoake with such many other exceeding covetous practises as suing men two hundred mile to answer for three shillings claimed by them for tithes And these sport themselves in their vanities in their own deceiving and when they have oppressed people for their wages and makes people pay them for whom they doe no work and forces wages from them that never hired them which is unheard of covetous practises they sport themselves in their pride and lustfullnesse and they are out of the right way and gone astray from the wayes of God which are holy and are in the way of Balaam who went after unrighteous wages who sought for enchantment against Jsrael as these doe and these loves unrighteous wages by taking maintenance from people by force unto whom is nothing oweing by them and these are carried with a Tempest of every wind according as the powers of the earth blowes these are carried sometime under such a government and sometime against it and so are clouds carried about and are unsetled on the foundation and they speak great words of Christ and God and the Scriptures which are but words stolen by them because they are not spoken by the Spirit of God but by a lying Spirit and they promise to others liberty that they shall receive the Kingdome of God after death and that Christ hath taken away their sins with such like promises of liberty but themselves are the servants of corruption living in pride and hatred and covetousnesse and these serve sin and are servants of corruption and they are scoffers and mockers and walkers after their own lusts as it is evident in all mens sight So that according to the judgment of truth we judge these teachers of this generation to be of the same root which then sprang forth for these brings forth the same fruites as they in that time did and in the apostacy they have over-spread the whole world and also the Apostle Jude gave a description of them according as Peter had done he saw certaine men creeping in who turned the grace of God into wantonnesse and they were filthy dreamers and knowes nothing but what they know naturally as bruit Beasts and in that they corrupt themselves and they have gone in the way of Caine and run greedrly after the errour of Balaam and they are trees whose fruit withereth rageing waves of the Sea foaming out their own shame wandering Starres they are murmurers and complainers walking after their own lusts having mens persons in admiration because of advantage and these seperate themselves sensuall having not the Spirit and of this sort which Jude describeth are these teachers in this generation whose fore fathers crept in in the Apostles dayes and

and outward observances which is not the worship of God in the Spirit and in the truth but superstitious and Idolatrous and when the word of God was not received immediately from his mouth nor the Gospel by the revelation of Jesus Christ as it was in the dayes of the Apostles then darknesse being come in they used their tongues when the Lord had not spoken to them as the false Prophets did before Christs time and long have they said the letter is the word and that the letter is the Gospel and that it must be received by the Scriptures and by naturall learning and artes and that none can be ministers of Christ but such who are learned in the languages and knowes the originall of Scriptures Latine and Greek and Hebrew not any of these have received the Gospel by revelation or the word of God from his mouth And when singing in the Spirit and with understanding was ceased and not knowne then began people to get the forme of singing of Davids experiences in rime and meeter and when the pure power of godlinesse was lost which was in the dayes of the Apostles manifested and known then in the Apostacie the deceit grew into the forme of every thing which the Saints had enjoyed in the power and so was shaddowes set up instead of substance and death instead of life and the forme without the power which in many branches sprang forth some into one appearance and some into another but all under the power of the Beast with his many heads and hornes defended and untill this day since the dayes of the Apostles thus it hath been and those very teachers and supposed ministers which now are in this and other Nations are of that very root which sprang forth in the dayes of the Apostles and they are under the dominion of the Beast and moveable like unto the great whore and this may easily be proved that they are of that generation of teachers and false Prophets which Christ prophesied of should come and which the Apostles saw was coming in their dayes and of those which John saw the world to run after for Christ said by their fruites they should be known and the Apostles they described their fruits and them by their fruites And so we seeing their fruit to be the very same now which the Apostles described was the fruit of them that then was come and coming from whence we doe conclude according to sound judgment that these very teachers are of the same generation and branches of the same root which sprang forth then And in Pauls writeings you may read such they were whom he saw of whom he bad people to beware and said perilous times would come and men should be lovers of themselves covetous proud blasphemers disobedient to parents unthankfull unholy without naturall affection false accusers fierce dispisers of those that are good heady high minded lovers of pleasures more then lovers of God having a forme of godlinesse but denying the power and such of whom people were ever learning but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth for people were laden with sins and led away with divers lusts and these did resist the truth as Jannes and Jambres who withstood Moses by making likenesses without life and they were men of corrupt minds and reprobate concerning the faith Now it is plaine that these teachers in this generation are of that very stock which Paul describes such he saw would come and such we see are come and by their fruits we know them as Christ said and Pauls words are fullfilled for these teachers are lovers of themselves and covetous and proud this is plaine to all people and blasphemers who denyes Christ to have lighted every man that comes into the world and therefore they deny Scripture and so are disobedient and unholy men and without naturall affection who many of them have caused the innocent to be imprisoned and some have dyed in Prison and they the chiefe cause of this and this is without naturall affection to the creatures and they are false accusers and liers and fierce in their books and preaching as is manifest through all this Nation and they greatly despise those that are good and prepares war against such as doth not put into their mouthes and they are heady and high minded and lovers of vanities and pleasures this is evident without proofe and they have a forme of godlinesse they say all should be taught of God but when any comes to witnesse it and denyes their teaching they cry against such as Heriticks and thus they have the words and the forme but denyes the power and they are ever teaching twenty and fourty yeares and more but none able ever to come to the knowledge of the truth by them but ●●il in blindnesse and darknesse still and people cryes out who have been learning many yeares from them that they doe not know the truth and its plaine that these teachers are of that sort that Paul spoke of who brings none to the knowledge of the truth for people that followes them are laden with sins and led away with divers lusts and these have and doe resist the truth every where they deny that Christ hath lighted every man that comes into the world and so resists truth and denyes Scripture and the truth as you may read John 1. 9. And they are corrupt minded even wicked persecutors and suers at Law and earthly minded and covetous and oppressors and are wholly reprobate concerning the faith and thus it is plaine that the root of these teachers was springing in the Apostles dayes and hath growen ever since in this darke night of Apostacie and hath filled the Nations Againe the Apostle saw that many should depart from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of Devils speaking lies in hypocrisie having their consciences seared as with a hot Iron Now these teachers are of that stock which is departed from the true faith for they are without true faith and reprobate concerning it who are in iniquity and sin and the workes of the world which are evill now faith purifies the heart from all this but their hearts are not purified but poluted with covetousnesse and preaching for hire and persecuting and envy and therefore they have not faith and so are of that generation which departed from the faith after the Apostles times which they saw would come and these doth seduce and their doctrines are of the Devill who denyes the truth which the Scripture beares witnesse of and saith sprinkling infants with water when they are two or three days old is Baptisme into the faith of Christ this is the doctrine of the Devill and lies they speak in great numbers and in hypocrisie and writes them forth to the world in great hypocrisie with feignednesse and pretence of holinesse and its plaine many of their consciences are seared how doe many of them cause the poore people to suffer grievous imprisonment

and his name and power is declared in the hearts of his people to the overturning of all unrighteousnesse and though every horn of the Beast push against this and every head with his members set it selfe against it yet the councell of the Lord shall not be disanulled nor made voyd for the Scepter and dominion of his Son shall be exalted over all the earth and the Princes of the world and the Kings of the earth shall lay down their Crowns and become subject for the Kingdomes of this world shall be changed and shall become the Kingdomes of the Lord and of his Christ the Kingdome of the Beast must down and the Princely power of darknesse must be overthrowne and Lawes and times and things and powers of men shall be overturned and overturned till he come to reigne in the earth whose right it is to reigne over Nations and people And because of this the rage of the Heathen hath been great and the councells of the wicked many and strong from the prophane drunkards to the chiefest professed teachers of this age even all the whole body of the Beast hath joyned it selfe against the purpose of the Lord men of all conditions from the highest to the lowest have armed themselves with mischiefe to offend the way of truth This is written as moved of the Lord to go abroad through the Nations that all may understand concerning the times and the changing of times how that the Beast hath reigned in dominion over Nations tongues and people and all have worshiped the Beast and gone after the false Prophet here all may come to a good understanding what hath been and what is and what shall be how that when the power and government of Christ was lost through departing from the faith which ruled in the Apostles dayes then the whole world was as unstable in wayes and judgments as a Sea then out of the Sea one beast arose and another after him arose out of the earth and all hath been caused both small and great bond and free to worship the beast and the image of the Beast yea all the dominions of the world hath for many ages been subject to the power of the Beast in all things and not known the worship and power of God and the pure subjection to him but the Kings of the earth and all her Princes have given their power to the Beast and hath received their authority from him and acted thereby many of them in great unrighteousnesse in injustice and oppression and cruelty in pride and rebellion and vaine glory in quarilling one with another to the murdering of thousands of thousands and this hath all been brought forth under the power of the Beast and by it and his heads and hornes hath exalted themselves one against another and smitten one another and the great whore hath made them all drunke and all people upon earth with envy pride wantonnesse and all unrighteousnesse this hath been since the Apostles dayes in this night of Apostacie wherein the whole world hath been subverted by false Prophets and deceivers and the Kingdome of Christ hath not been known upon earth for many generations but the Beast hath been established in his Throne of rebellion against Christ Jesus his decrees hath been Lawes and statutes and he hath made war against all the Saints and overcome them and reigned over them untill this time and troden down their City and defaced their glory but the blood of the just hath cryed day and night under the Altar the soules of such as hath been slain for the Testimony of the word of God have cryed day and night how long Lord how long when wilt thou avenge our blood upon the heads of our enemies even the Beast the whore and the false Prophet and this hath been for many ages even while the Kingdome of Antichrist hath been set up and advanced through the world and his power and authority hath reached over Nations bond and free from the Prince on his Throne to the begger on the dunghill even all hath been subjected under the power of the Beast that nature having ruled within every particular hath given him the authority without over all and admired him and said who is able to make war with him Antichrist hath ruled over all by injustice oppression and tyranny in unrighteous Lawes and through wicked decrees old Pharoah-like he hath laid heavy yoakes and oppressive bondes upon the just for who would not be subject to him he hath had power to kill them and none was able to gainsay such hath been the greatnesse of his power and the strength of his dominion over all that none hath been able to make war against him he hath been admired in all the world not any Nation excepted where the government of Antichrist hath not borne rule and there hath been none left to bear witnesse against him or to stand up against him for the faithfull witnesses hath been killed and slain in the streets of the great City which spiritually is called Sodome and Egypt and all them that have dwelt upon the earth have made merry over their dead bodies and rejoyced in their iniquities over the slaine and been without a reprover and not tormented nor troubled but have sent gifts one to another because they have slain them who have tormented them that dwell upon the earth and the government of the Beast hath been enlarged and the whole world hath wandered after him and been in subjection under him for many generations even for fourty and two monthes he that can read let him understand so long hath it been given him to make war against the Saints and to overcome them and it hath been given him to reigne over all people in the wrath of God and in his anger because of the rebellion of all the earth and all people in it but he shall be taken away in Gods displeasure who reignes in his anger over the Nations who hath forsaken the Lord and was given up to the power of the Beast to be subjected in slavery and bondage in pain sorrow and misery and through deceit craft and pollieic and oppression and by the wisdome of this world and naturall artes and knowledge his government hath long been established and his dominion hath been upon earth times and Lawes and things and powers of men have been in his hand to change and subvert and overturne into his own image and to transforme them like to the Beast none upon earth hath bought or sold or judged or given evidence or been respected in all the world that have not had the marke of the Beast and the number of the names of Antichrist rich and poor and small and great hath received his marke as a seale of their subjection to the Beast whose many heads and many hornes hath subjected all by the force of his arme and he hath blinded the eye least men should see him and cast darknesse over all faces and the false
