goodly Babylonish Garment for which his Name became blotted out amongst the Tribes of Israel though he hid his deceit in the Earth By Faith it 's seen that it was just in Micaiah the Prophet of the Lord that he spake the VVord of the Lord faithfully though against the King and his Purposes and the Four hundred Prophets though he suffered for it By Faith it 's seen how just it was in Elijah to declare the VVord of the Lord though he was called a Troubler of Israel for it and his Life fought to be made a prey upon who was sent after into many Nations and amongst many People because he pleased not Jezebel and the King and their Priests and Prophets And it was just in Elijah when he witnessed against the Deceit of the Priests of Baal who were great in the Kingdom and fed at Jezebels Table Four hundred of them to bring the People off them whom he slew when he had faithfully manifested their Deceit to the People though Jezebel sought his life for it Now these were zealous for the Lord and feared not the face of Man nor to displease the Rulers and Powers of the Earth whom the false Prophets and Teachers ever sought to please and to be in favour withal By Faith in the Light it is seen that it was just in Samuel the Prophet to testifie against Saul and his People because they fulfilled not the Word of the Lord but let their minds run into the Earthly things in reserving the Fat and the Best in pretence of sacrificing to God but God would have Obedience and not Sacrifice and his Voice hearkened to before the fat of Rams So that Disobedience was as Witchcraft and Stubbornness as Inquity and Idolory And Saul saved Agag King of Amalek alive whom Samuel slew And the good Spirit of God departed from Saul because he had disobeyed By Faith it is seen that it was just in Nathan the Prophet to Reprove David King of Israel because he had transgressed By Faith it is seen that it was just with the Lord to rend the Kingdom out of the ●and of Solomon and his Son because Solomon transgressed the Commandments of he Lord and followed not the Lord fully ●o do his Will but took Wives of the Daughters of the Heathen who drew his ●eart into Idolatry By Faith it s seen that it was just and true Faithfulness in Mordecai the Jew who feared and worshiped the living God that he would not bow down before proud Haman though he was the second Ruler in the Kingdom and the King had commanded concerning him that all men should bow down before him and reverence him this faithfull Mordicai would not bow though it was the King's Commandment he was subject to the Higher Power the Power of Truth in which he gave up his Life and the Life of the whole Seed of the Jews in danger of being destroyed rather than he would bow contrary to his Conscience and God unto whom he bowed wrought deliverance for him and for his People and destroyed proud Haman his house who was in the lower power who was displeased that the Righteous bowed not before him Here all may reade their figure who are displeased that the Righteous will not bow unto them now nor reverence them with bowing Hat and Knee and giving flattering Titles of Honour to them which for Conscience sake and its Peace sake they cannot do but bow unto God worship God and honour God and obey every Just and Righteous Law of man By Faith in the Light it is seen and believed that the true Prophets of the Lord gave forth a just Testimony against the false Prophets and false Teachers and false Shepherds and false Pastors Isaiah the Lord's Prophet gave forth a faithful Testimony against the Priests the Shepherds of Israel and Watchmen and said they were all ignorant they were all blind they were all Shepherds that could not understand sleeping lying down and loving to slumber yea they were dumb dogs that could not bark greedy dogs that never had enough every one seeking for his gain from his quarter These had their minds run into earthly things and were justly testified against And Jeremiah justly testified against such Priests as bear Rule by their Means and said it was a filthy and horrible thing committed in the Land That the Priests should bear Rule by their Means and the Prophets should prophesie falsly and the People love to have it so but what will ye do in the end thereof saith he He likewise bore Testimony against such Priests and Prophets who were light and treacherous who with Lyes and lightness made the People light and vain from whom Wickedness and Prophaness was gone into all Nations They were to him Sodom and as the Inhabitants of Gomorrha and said the Lord was against them who prophesied and used their tongues and said The Lord saith when as they had no other word but what they stole from their Neighbours Therefore the Lord said he was against them they ran and he never sent them and they should not profit the People at all who were telling their false dreams and with their Lyes And Lightness made the People light and vain This Jeremiah was put into the Dungeon for his testifying faithfully of the Truth of God against both Rulers and Priests and People And they that trembled at the Word of the Lord in his dayes they were cast out unto whom he spake the Word of the Lord saying Hear ye the Word of the Lord ye that tremble at the Word of the Lord your Brethren that hated yon and cast ye out said Let the Lord be glorified He shall arise your glory and to their shame And through Faith Ezekiel testified against such Shepherds and Teachers as fed themselves and not the Flock who fed with the Fat and cloathed with the Wool and made a Prey upon the People who flattered the Ungodly and put Cushions under their Armholes speaking Peace to the Wicked and justifying the Ungodly for a thing of naught while they put into their mouthes and feed them with the fat These were in Confusion one building a Wall and another daubing it with untempered Mortar who healed up the hurt of the Daughters of the People slightly until they made the wound uncurable and the souls that should have lived became destroyed This Ezekiel was a Sign and a Reproach amongst them and they accounted of him to be but an enditer of Parables And Hosea testified justly against the Priests who went in Cains way in envy he said As a Company of Robbers wait for a man so do the Company of Priests murder in the way by consent they commit Lewdness c. By Faith it 's seen how just and faithful it was in Shadrach Meshach and Abednega the Servants of the most High God who would not bow at the King's Commandment not bow to the Image nor serve the god which Nebuchadnezzar the King had set up though it
