seale the Lords Testimony against thee even against all thy righteousnesse and against all thy sin which are both alike unto God and both to be condemned Thou hast been warned and thy people and the day of a glorious Visitation hath passed over thee the Lord hath reached unto many and striked many who have not grieved but carelesly walked and slighted the day of their visitation and have not hearkned to the Lords call unto thousands hath the word of the Lord been declared and the Kingdome of God preached nigh at hand and the very way of life and death hath been set before you for the Lord hath sent unto thee to warne thee and to shew unto thee what the Counsell of the Lord is and thousands have been reached with the power of God and convinced of the way of life peace who yet continues in hardnes of heart and disobedience following the counsell of their own heart and the desire of their own minds which are wholly evil continually and the condemnation of such will be just in the day of the Lord and greater then theirs to whom the way of the Lord hath not been known And yet amongst thy thousands who are in the way to destruction the Lord hath a remnant a few among so many which are precious unto him and whom his soule delighteth in who are despised in thee and set at nought and cast out of the favour of all men yet is the Lords presence amongst them and his fear in their hearts and his encrease is unto them and his power with them till all their enemies be vanished as a cloud for they are of the true seed and of the true birth which the Lord will blesse though they be accounted as thy slaves and bondmen yet are they free in the Lord and this is the very fulfilling of thy wickednesse and the height of the transgression of thy Rulers Teachers and People in that some of them that feares the Lord and walks with him are persecuted in thee even they are made a prey unto the wicked to the slanderers to the drunkards to the scorners to unjust and cruell men the people of the Lord are become a very prey in thee even as meat for the devourers Oh what wilt thou do in the day of thy visitation when the righteous Judge numbers up these things against thee thystaffe shall faile thee thy Physitians shall be of no value and all thy comforters shall be miserable at that day I have truly considered thy condition and measured thy state and I have often seriously weighed thy wickednesse and pondered what would be the end thereof and there is no vision of peace unto thee but even the day of desperate sorrow a recompence for all thy works from the hand of the Lord I have often truly lamented thee and seriously hath thy condition entred into my heart thy iniquities have often pressed my soule and my Spirit hath been grieved within me when I have viewed thy great abominations and how thousands in thee wholly perish for lack of knowledge and even resists and will not be instructed despightfully using such as doth warne them even loving and delighting in their abominations These things have often made my heart sad who have walked in thee as a stranger and measured thee with the line of true judgement and this is thy height and length and depth Iniquity lodgeth in thee and Iniquity covers thee and Iniquity compasseth thee about And this is a Warning to thee from the Lord in faithfulnesse declared unto thee whether thou resist or receive and thus far I am clear of the Blood of all men in thee who seeketh not any thing in thee for my selfe but seeketh and hath often to the Lord for thee that thy people might know him and worship him alone who gives unto them all good things and hath caused the fulnesse of all good Creatures to abound and hath given plenty of all things abundance of which is spent vainly upon the lust to the dishonour of God who gives it how much is vainly spent upon vanity in meats and drinks and apparell It s hard to be declared what abundance of the good creatures of God is vainely destroyed in thee upon the lust in the excesse more then what satisfies pure nature your gluttony and high minds devoureth in abundance the good creatures which God gives and he is thereby grieved with you who hath taken notice of this your sin which is not the least of your transgressions and he will plead with you for it even in all things great is your wickednesse and the Lord hath numbred it And above all things that is done in thee thy deceitfull profession and pretence of worship of God is the Lord most grieved with who hates all your Meetings of gathered assemblies which is not gathered by his Spirit he will confound your wisdome and overthrow all your buildings Wherefore repent ye and cease from Idolls and all Idolatry and cease for ever to warme your selves at your own sparks for this shall you have at the Lords hands Ye shall lie down in sorrow A WARNING to you all sorts of People YE Merchants and traders and trafiquers and all ye that buy and sell be plaine and upright hearted and lie not swear not dissemble not for gaine unto your selves for that is cursed of the Lord and the gaine that is thereby received but speak the truth every man to his neighbour flatter not such with whom you deale by feigned words of guile whilst secret over-reaching lodgeth in your hearts to make a prey upon your neighbour or brother for this is evill in the sight of the Lord but speak the truth in all things and let your yea be yea and your nay nay in all your common occasions for whatsoever is more is evill and what is advantaged unto you through deceit or lying or multitude of vaine words it shall be a curse unto you and not a blessing unto you or to your children let the truth guide you in all your dealings one with another and let the fear of God be in your hearts in all your enterprizes at Sea and Land I warne you all seek not by any evill means to enrich your selves neither oppresse one another in any thing wherein you deale for you know not how long your time shall be upon earth nor how soon the day of account will come wherein every word and every work shall be brought to Judgement yea for every idle word shall ye give an account and all those words are idle which are not spoken in the fear of the Lord therefore live and act in the fear of God that you may be blessed in all that you doe And all ye whom the Lord hath blessed with riches and increase see that you abuse not that which God hath blessed you withall but in all things that it be used to the glory of the Lord and not wasted in excesse upon the lust of your own
