A49691	To all you taylors and brokers, who lyes [sic] in wickedness and to all you tradesmen of what trade, imployment or office soever. This to all you from the Lord, that you may return from all your evil wayes, words and works; that you may be hid in the day of his fierce wrath. Knowing also assuredly, that all your prayers, tears and sacrifices are not available, while you regard iniquity in your hearts; your meeting together, and best performances are but sin, and an ill savour in the nostrils of the Lord: therefore from them all return and repent, and leave off your sins; that you may find rest for your souls.	Latey, Gilbert, 1626-1705.	1660 (1660)	Wing L567; ESTC R216155	4,085	7

bondage and long hath been oppressed by these cruel enemies which are many sins and lusts for which you all must come to judgement that lyes in such things and know a Notable Terrible day which is appearing against transgressions and disobedience to Gods witnesse which shewes the secrets of the heart in every man and therefore take heed how you or any of you do evill or deceive cozen or cheat any one for the Lord beholds it in you all And where will all you Taylors and Brokers who lyes in wickednesse appear that make a trade of sin to deceive and take that which is not your own and sell it to an other who knows you came not justly by it and furnish your selves with that which is stoln and dishonestly come by and keep it in your shops in whole bundels of remnants and pieces and such like things as are unjustly gotten which the Children of the Lord cannot buy who are redeemed out of such things as you are in bondage to with your many vain fashions which you invent and beget people into that it is even a grief to see how you are servants of sin and inventers for peoples lusts and Instruments of Satans will whereby his worke is done Therefore do so no more but rather seek how to suppress them and learn to beget people into true moderation and out of pride which you have been a leader into and a preparer of the way for pride and vanity and delight in it when you can most do it then you are most esteemed and the more foolish the more you pleasure their vain fancies and your own when people looks like Apes and Fools that it is even a shame to see them how they are gone out of true moderation into foolish toyes and fancies not like to sober men and women that the very Creation even groanes under your pride and abomination which you live in and deck your selves and servants Liveryes foolishly withal that it s even a shame to see them how foolish they are decked and their Masters are not wise in these things who by their foolish Habit are known to serve such or such a man and these things are amongst the Rulers and Wise men of this generation whose wisdom the Lord will confound and lay waste together with all their profession that yeilds no better fruits but grieves the Lord by their vanities day by day and seek not to amend it So here men of all sorts and men of all degrees and imployments grieves the Lord by their sins and transgressions which they commit whilst they reject Gods Wittness by which they should learn to amend their wayes and return from the evil of them to the Lord that they might find mercy and be hid in the day of his fierce wrath which is coming on the wicked for their wicwickedness and therefore all ye Trades-men in City Town and Countrey learn to amend your wayes for the Lord is coming near to Judgement even to Judge all men for the evil of their wayes who have rebelled against Gods faithful Witness which hath cryed in you many dayes Therefore hear what it speaks to you concerning your sins that it may redeem you out of them all to serve the living God in newness of life the remainder of your dayes that you may walk before the Lord with a pure and perfect heart to his praise and glory for ever as you own the light of Christ which you are enligtned withal you will in it find power against the enemy of your Souls and strength against your sins when you are tempted to any evil the light will let you see it and preserve you out of it as you come to believe in it and blot out that which is past and make up the breach betwixt God and you that your sins have made while you denied his light which should have saved you and that is it which shews you should not swear lye nor steal and if you have sworn lyed or stollen do so no more but repent and return from it and leave it of and follow Christ Jesus the light which is placed in your Consciences to condemn your sins as they do appear before they are acted and give you power to resist the temptation and preserve you from condemnation due for transgression and give you peace and rest for your Souls Which is the desire of a Friend to all your Souls whose Name is GILBERT LATYE THE END
