TRUE IVDGEMENT OR The Spiritual-Man Iudging all THINGS But he himself Judged of NO MAN To them who are growing up into discerning and Judgement And to them who cannot endure sound Judgement London Printed for Giles Calvert at the Black spread-Eagle at the West end of Pauls 1654. TRUE IVDGEMENT OR THE Spiritual-man Iudging all THINGS But He himself Judged of no MAN I Am moved to write forth a few things for the simple ones sake who are growing up in Judgement and the light is springing by which they do see to the staying their minds upon the living God to the intent they may look into the world who are ignorant of the Letter the Prophets Apostles and Christs condition shewing themselves to be in the generation from God which the Apostles spoke against and Christ First You shew your selves that you cannot endure sound doctrine in telling you where you are and what you are what you hold up and what you worship Secondly You shew your selves to be those that have not salt to savour withal and he that hath not salt to savour withall is good for nothing but to be trodden under foot of men Thirdly You are amongst those false Prophets and Priests that bear rule by their Means and prophesie for money which speak smooth things and sow pillows under your Arm-holes who speak a Divination of their own brain and not from the mouth of the Lord The Lord sent his Prophets to distinguish and judge to put a difference betwixt the holy and profane betwixt the precious and the vile Fourthly You are amongst them that seek for their gain from their quarter and spend your money for that which is not bread so call evil good and good evil and put light for darkness and darkness for light such were in their generation formerly such are in your generation now in nature so you are lofty and haughty and do oppress the Innocent and Just here the Prophet and Prophets were able to judge to make a difference between the precious and the vile the clean and the unclean and said this is the man whom the Lord regards who is of an humble and broken heart and trembleth at my word here is true Judgement and the same Prophet said all the children of the Lord are taught of the Lord and established in righteousness which the Prophets of the world deny Fifthly You are amongst such and follow such as seek for the Fleece who make a prey upon you and cloth themselves with the wool and are wandring abroad in the cloudy and dark day the Lord sent the Son of man which was the Prophet to Judge them Judge them a Son of man who was to put a difference between the holy and profane Sixthly You are amongst them and follow such as are Hirelings which the Lord sent his Prophets to cry against who bite with their teeth and cry peace peace if you put into their mouths if not they prepare war against you as you may see by your Teachers Seventhly You are such as hold up the Idols Temple in the outward which the Lord sent his Prophet Hosea to cry against so you have many fenced Cities but the Lord will send a fire to consume them here was a savour and discerning of them who had forgot the Lord then they builded Temples here was true Judgement upon them that had backslided and forsaken the Lord God do not think your selves wiser in your generation then your forefathers but sottisher as the Prophet saith Sottish children Eighthly You are amongst them and follow such Prophets as walk out of the commands of God as I shall make it appear hereafter whose blessings are cursed whose seed is corrupt the Lord will spread dung upon their faces who call the proud happy and in this generation you are Priests and People he had true Judgement that Judged this and discerning and salt who spoke of a people that feared the Lord and thought upon his Name and met often together and they shall be mine saith the Lord in that day that I make up my Jewels And this we witness to be true as the Scripture speaks And you are in that condition holding up the Songs of the Temple which the Lord sent Amos to cry against saying that their songs should be turned into howling and of all their unjust dealings who when he was questioned what he was he said he was a Heardsman such an one now would be an abomination to you he had a spirit of discerning Ninthly You are amongst them and hold such up as are called of men Masters stand praying in the Synagogues love salutations in the Markets which lay heavy burdens upon the people and devour widows houses with a pretence making long prayers which our Lord Jesus Christ forbad and denyed and cryed woe against And this spoke he to the multitude and to his Disciples and bid them beware of the Scribes and Pharisees and their doctrine and yet you profess Christ and make him your cloak and yet you hold up the doctrine of the Pharisees which Christ cryed woe against shewing your selves to be in that generation which persecute the Truth as they did Tenthly You are in that nature that they were in that stoned Stephen to death when he came to be examined before the Priests they said he spoke against the holy Temple and the Law and when he denied the Temple and shewed the figures they lived in they run and gnashed upon him with their teeth and stoned him to death you have made it openly appear in England in divers places in halling out of your Temples and stoning and striking bunching beating and imprisoning but the mighty power of the mighty God preserves his Lambs from blood suckers and this blood-thirsty generation a seed of evil doers Now do not call this r●sh Judgement its Scripture language you are amongst them that run af●er Balaam and go in the way of Cain who erred from the Truth and he that erred from the Truth lived in envy so do you still who sought to murther the righteous where ever it was brought forth as your generation doth which hath erred from the truth in the way of Cain to murther and destroy the righteous where it s brought forth who walks out of the commands of God and the Prophets here they had savour and true Judgement and salt in themselves and did exhort to true Judgement and to have salt in themselves to savour withall the false Prophets the false Apostles the Antichrists they have not a discerning they have not a savour and do not speak from the mouth of the Lord But the true Prophets Apostles and Christ these had all savour and discerning to Judge between light and darkness truth from evil as they grew up in the truth and measure and they saw who was the beast which all the world wonders after and who had their names written in the book of life here was Judgement and distinguishing which the false Prophets had
