A44640	A warning from the Lord unto the rulers of Dover And so to all men which stand guilty of the like practises, that all may know a day of repentance before it be too late; for the night will come when as no man can work, in which the son of man will come as a thief unto all such the workers of iniquity, and give to every man according to his deeds done in their body in their life-time. Then wo to the eveil-doer, for it will go ill with him. Also, the Christian man's plea for his liberty, as he is so indeed and in truth: and also, as he is a free-born English-man, he lays claim to his birth-right, by way of expostulation with the rulers of Dover, who rob him and many others of it, refusing to shew us any order for their so doing. Together with a true testimony born to the Light of Jesus, the power of God, yea the power of the endless life, from everlasting to everlasting: by Luke Howard.	Howard, Luke, 1621-1699.	1661 (1661)	Wing H2988; ESTC R215380	18,231	25

evermore so that great is the shout of the living Host which giveth all our glory and praises unto the Ancient of Dayes and to the Lamb that lives for evermore even so Amen Amen saith my soul and my Spirit sets to its seal in the presence of my God who is the everlasting Father and Prince of Peace of whose Dominion and Government there shall never be an end but he shall reign for evermore before whose seat of Justice f Where nothing wil speak peace but a Conscience void of offence both to God and man and no cover hide but the spirit of Life which hath overcome death in all it covers and Tribunal of everlasting Righteousness I say again all must stand naked and bare and no covering shall be able to hide the least Iniquity but Judgement from the righteous God must come on all and I say again all flesh must and shall be silent in his presence and all tongues confess to his righteous Judgements and all knees bend before him and all hearts fail in his presence for strong is the Lord that judgeth the righteous and true altogether is the Lamb that passeth sentence which saith Go ye cursed into everlasting torments prepared for the Devil and his Angels for ever and come ye blessed of my Father inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the World for I was a hungry and ye fed me I was sick and ye visited me I was in Prison and ye came unto me and you shall not lose your g The Lord taketh notice of all mens actions and will assuredly reward all men accordingly Reward that have given but a Cup of cold water to a Disciple in the Name of a Disciple forasmuch as ye did it unto one of the little ones which believed in my Name ye did it unto me Come ye blessed of my Father enter into rest and partake of my everlasting Life and Love for ever and for ever world without end And go ye cursed you that have cast into holes and Prisons into endless pains wo and misery for ever and for ever world without end for you have been so far from visiting me in my Lambs and Babes and little ones in prisons that you have cast them in and blasphemed my holy Name my Power in them calling it the power of the Devil and Delusion to wit h This is the condemnation of the world that Light is come into the world and men love darkness rather then light because their deeds are evil my Light which they make mention of and speaking all manner of evil against them falsly for my Names sake and have made lyes your refuge and under falshood have hid your selves among men like unto yourselves to bring your wicked purposes to pass against my holy Nation and chosen people for though in your Envy you have falsly charged them and by so doing evil entreated them yet what have you found against them justly to deserve such usage from you as they have had Yea are they not clear and innocent Have not you searched them again and again proved them again and again and still what have you found Even nought in them but a lying heart i Through the whole Nation how often even over and ever have they been falsly charged and so much searched nothing to 〈◊〉 day can yet be proved because they are clear in all matters in your selves and the deceit thereof hath turned you aside so that justice hath been turned backward and Equity hath fallen in the street Judgement hath stood afar off and Truth it could not enter because the best of you have been as a bryar and the most uprightest of you sharper then a Thorn-Hedge yea your Mercies have been but Cruelties to them for he that departed from iniquity you made a prey upon and eat his flesh as a man should eat bread and took not pity upon the needy but strengthened the hands of the k This is the portion of the servants of the Lord in this world from the men thereof wicked to turn him out of the way This hath been your carriage and behaviour towards me in them O ye strong Okes and tall Cedars whose tops I will lop off yea and whose root I will pluck up for the evil you have acted against me in my servants in your life-time when you should have feared my Name and have met often together with those which did meet to wait upon me and call upon my Name which is everlasting Righteousness and Truth Life and Light which whosoever walketh therein walketh safely and is free from harm in a strong Tower of Defence but on the contrary you have broke up their Meetings and sent them to Prisons and cast them in holes and all hath been for obeying me and walking in my Light your condemnation and assembling l They which feared the Lord in the dayes past met often together a Book of remembrance was written and so it is now themselves together in my fear to wait upon me to receive of my fulness Life and Love and to walk therein yea to their and my Enemies as is fully made manifest to such which have sought by the Power of Darkness to rout out my Name and cause it to be forgotten among the Sons of Men among whom I will be glorified by setting of it up saith the jealous God for I will march through you O you bryars and thorns m Wicked men are unto the Lord as bryars and thorns are unto the fire consumed must they be if they repent not and will burn you together and set up my Name of Everlasting Righteousness for by it am I known to my chosen and so must I be to the sons of men for evermore And this is the Name by which they shall know me and by which they shall call me the Lord our Righteousness for I will be glorified in them and they shall sanctifie me in their hearts n The true israel of God their fear towards God is not taught by the Precepts of man neither do they fear him but the Lord though they be accounted as sheep for the slaughter for it and make me their fear their dread and not man as my Flock of slaughter hath done in the day of their afflictions when the wicked have made long furrows on their backs and accounted them as sheep for the slaughter even all the day long Ah! shal I not visit for these things Yea assuredly and my hand shall be avenged on their oppressors for Vengeance is in my heart and the day of recompence is in my reins and everlasting contempt is in my bowels and I am filled therewith and I must be eased and that on my Adversaries my Flock-oppressors that have set themselves against me to destroy my Heritage and scatter the sheep of my Pasture and have endeavoured to make them forget their resting-place in me so that they should

not sanctifie me in their hearts and make me their fear and their dread but would have them fear man whose breath is in his Nostrils who I strike down in my own time he is o All power is in the hand of the Lord therefor should men fear him and take warning from him ly his witness in them that they sin not against him not afflict his people if they love their eternal peace no more therefore be ye forewarned O mortal men and touch not my annointed ones and do my Prophets no harm if you wil have me to say to you at your end Come ye blessed enter into your Masters joy and sit down at my right hand and receive of my Love Life and Joy for evermore with which I satisfie every hungry and thirsty soul in his life-time by which refreshments my servants my sons and my daughters have bore forth their Testimony unto my Life Power and Love the which I have shed abroad in their hearts and thereby have stood over the Power of Hell and of Death and have given their bodies goods and lives a witness for me the which I will own even for ever and it stands upon everlasting Record in my Book of Life never to be blotted out for time shall cease and Seasons have an end and man whose life is there to wit in Times and Seasons shall perish therein and his Name shall rot but my Chosen shall remain on Record in Life everlasting The Mouth of the living God hath spoken it and it shall surely be fulfilled and the eyes of my Heritage shall see it and I will be glorified in and amongst them for ever and for ever and all sorrow and sighing shall be wiped away from off them and nothing be heard p The life of the righteous is a life of joy it shall be for ever world without end but joy and gladness melody and praises on the ten-stringed Instruments Hallelujahs for ever and for ever Then will I be known in the beauty of Holiness to be Head of my Family and Ruler over my Houshold yea when my servants shall sing for joy of heart and their Enemies languish for sorrow of heart and pain of spirit q The torment of the wicked is great endless 〈◊〉 Men pleasing Ministers and their glory must fall before the glory of the Lord. and anguish of Reins yea then will I be exalted among the holy Nation and set up among the Royal Priesthood and then shall the Deceivers faces wax pale and the false Prophets Spirit sink into the Pit and the Diviner be made mad and all r which have leaned on them and not repented go down with them into the Lake and then blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the Kingdom of God for ever and ever and this is the portion of the Heritage of God and their lot for ever saith the righteous God of Jacob and the Leader of Israel who never slumbers nor sleepes but will perform his promise s Gods promises to the Righteous is the ground of a living hope in God of the truth of it I am a witness for the Lord. to Jacob and his Covenant to Israel and not fail in one tittle saith the Lord of Host the God of Israel whose Promise is Yea and Amen to Ages and Generations yea for ever and for ever So be it saith my soul whom the Lord hath reared up in his everlasting Love Power to be a witness of his Name amongst crooked a perverse generation yea a seed of evil-doers children of falshood that are ready to lay and say all maner of evil against me for righteousnes sake but falsly Therefore I say again Come forth and stand upon the Tryal before my Father the righteous God of my Life you workers of Iniquity John Golder George West and all which stand by you in your evil Cause I say let us reason together and let God's Witness in your Consciences be judge between us in the cause for that is my friend t Abraham believed in God and it was reckoned to him for righteousness and he was called the friend of God and he which is Christs is Abraham's Seed and heirs according to promise who hath crucified the flesh with the lust and affections thereof and so is the friend of God and will plead my cause when you are on your Beds in the Morning-Watch in secret it speaks and justifies the innocent and now let it be judge between us in this matter to wit our Right and Priviledges as we are men created of God to live on the face of the Earth Are you born Christians as men account you And free-born English-men So am I.
