A42186	A glass for the people of New England, in which they may see themselves and spirits, and if not too late, repent and turn from their abominable ways and cursed contrivances that so the Lord God may turn away his wrath, which he will bring upon them, it they repent not, for their blasphemies against himself, and for all the murders and cruelties done to his tender people, ever since they usurped authority to banish, hang, whip, and cut off ears, and spoil the goods of dissenters from them in religious matters, while themselves disown infallibility in those things / by S. G.	S. G. (Samuel Groome), d. 1683.; Fox, George, 1624-1691.; Tyso, John, d. 1700.	1676 (1676)	Wing G2065; ESTC R10937	29,049	44

drunk in and was hid through Deceit And the Lord God is making you as I may say as a Sign to many Nations that shall coolly and seriously hear and consider what you have professed and what brought forth and now you would fain hide your selves a little longer and say The Quaker is the chief Cause of our Misery and he joyns his Thresholds to G●d's Thresholds and his Posts to God's Posts and that in the open Meetings of the Quakers whose blasphemous Principles c. But ye have not printed their Principles that ye call so provoking Divine Jealousie no more then you printed Williams his Principles whom you banished nor yet John Wheelwright's Principles which set the Priests and Professors in New-England in an Uproar in the Year One Thousand Six Hundred Thirty Six But John Wheelwright spoke many things which are now come to pass and also bore Testimony to the Light Read part of his Sermon preached at Boston which provoked Jealousie but not Divine but Devilish Jealousie And in his third Use in that ●ermon did he n●t say The second Sort of People that were to be condemned are all such as do set themselves against the Lord Jesus Christ such are the greatest Enemies to the State as can be if they can have their Wills you see what a lamentable State both Church and Commonwealth will be in then we shall have need of mourning the Lord cannot endure these that are Enemies to himself and Kingdom and People and unto the Good of his Church such shall never be able to prevail against the Lord. What will be the End and Issue think you if People do set themselves against the Way of Grace and the Lord Jesus Christ This will be the Issue of it those that oppose the Ways of Grace and resist the Truth they shall wax worse and worse 2 Tim. 3. 8. they may happily proceed a great Way but the time shall come that they shall go no further and by Reason of the Agitation of things it will come to pass that the Church will be cleared and your Folly manifested unto all men so saith the Apostle It is a hard thing to kick against the Pricks Acts 9. 5. Who ever strove against God and prospered If men or women fall upon the Lord Jesus Christ they break but if the Lord Jesus Christ fall on them he will grind them to Powder If any fall upon Christ and will not let Christ alone but fall upon them which hold him and will abuse them and be buffeting the Lord Jesus Christ there is never a Stroke they give but makes Wounds in their Consciences but if they will be heaving out Christ they shall find it the heaviest Stone that ever was it will fall and grind them to Powder if People set themselves against the Lord and the Ways of Grace and his Truth this will be the Issue of it on their Part either those that set themselves against the Ways of God they will be put to silence by the Light that cometh from Christ for such Truths come with such Light and Power that they shall be so convinced as that they shall not be able to speak any more in the Case as Christ put down those that came against him so that they durst ask him no more Questions and so there cometh such a Power from the Word held forth by the Saints of God that it will strick a Fear into their Hearts that oppose it What ailest thou O Jordan that the Floods go back Tremble thou Earth at the Presence of the Lord. They that came to Christ fell back there cometh a divine Power from the Lord that turneth them all back the Lord will strick with Trembling those that come against Jerusalem or if they be not put to silence it will come to pass in time they will fall i●to a wonderful Strong Passion and will quarrel with the Saints of God It was the Case of Zedekiah with Michaiah the Question was which of them had the Spirit of God and he comes and smites the Prophet Michaiah on the Cheek but the Spirit of God is not a smiting Spirit Stephen convinced the Jews and did by the Power of the holy Ghost Evidence his Cause to be the Cause of God and they were not able to resist the Spirit by which he spake and they came and run upon him why do ye resist the holy Ghost saith he what maketh the Sin against the holy Ghost but Enlightning and setting themselves against the way of Truth and persecuting it in Malice and Wrath. It is a fearfull thing to fall into the Hands of the Living God Heb. 10. 31. For our God is a consuming Fire Let every one in the Fear of God have a Care how they set themselves against the Truth and Ways of God and the Ways of Jesus Christ for we must all appear before the Judgement Seat of Christ 2 Cor. 5. 10. Thus much of the Sermon preached by John Wheelwright in the Year 1636. By which you Professors of New England may see how prophetical he spake of what is come to pass and fulfilled on you as he said If People did set themselves to Oppose and Resist the Grace of God and his Way and Truth as you have done such shall wax worse and worse And are you not more and more enraged and crying out Blasphemy and Heresie but have not given Account what those Blasphemous and Heretical Principles are against which you have set your selves this Thirty or Forty Years And why did you not print Obadiah Horne's Principles to whom you gave Forty Stripes save one and his Fellow-Sufferer's Principles whom you also whipped in a Cruel Manner So it seems all must fare alike that sute not with your Will-worship But now of late you have printed against the Quakers but give no Account either what they say do or hold which seems to me to be very brutish and below common Civility or Manhood You see I do not so by you but plainly tell what you say do and hold and may enlarge upon all if I have been too scant in my Account neither indeed would I be willing to be otherwise dealt with in such a Case What! are you so Mad-drunk with Blood that ye care not either what you do say or print You have no need to make your selves more naked Could not your Secretary Rawsen which hath partaken with you in your Wickedness and Folly and has had a large scope of Blood with you advised you better then to put in print such a piece of Folly Why did you not set him to work and print the Quakers Abominable bl●sphemies and Idolatries as you call them that so all People might have judged of the Matters or else kept his printed Piece in New-England for People here in England even many Prophane Ones and much more sober Men and Women know the Quakers Principles and Conversation also and are not willing to close their Eyes as Professors in New-England

will gather from off your Barren Mountains dry Hills of your Empty Dark Rusty Cankered eaten Prosessions to rest with the Lord in the Mountain of his Holiness forever and for this End is our Travail in Soul and Body that people might be gathered to God And the Cry of my Spirit is unto the Lord Oh! that his Day might more and more dawn that People might see their Way out of Darkness and the Chains thereof through the Power of God might be broken and the Liberty of the Sons of God which is in Righteousness might be known unto the Sons and Daughters of Men after this Deluge of Darkness and Night of Apostacy which hath been over the World For God Almighty is a fulfilling his Promises and his Day is come unto many and the Night is far spent unto Thousands Glory to God forever though Multitudes yet sit in Darkness and see it not for the God of the World hath blinded their Eyes through the Enmity of the Seed of the Serpent which bears rule in their Hearts whereby they despise the Appearance of God and persecute his Servants who are sent unto them as it was said unto the Jews I will send them Prophets and Apostles and some of them they shall slay and persecute that all the Blood from Righteous Abel unto this day be required at their Hands J.

Something further as a Testimony against the Cruelty of the New-England Professors ANd now you New-England Priests Professors you are found in the Steps of that old persecuting spirit beyond the rest of the Nations in t●is Age of the World in Cruelty and Bloodshed for you have slain the Prophets of the Lord and drunk the Blood of the Martyrs of Jesus whereby the Iniquity of your Fore fathers you have fulfill'd in a large Measure which will not depart from you Reins nor be blotted out in Generations to come no more then the Blood thirsty Chief Priests Scribes and Pharisees and Hard-hearted Jews are but with them you will be recorded and bound under the Chain and Seal of Darkness and numbred with the seed of Cain who Murdered his Brother because his Brother's Works were Righteous and his Evil. But notwithstanding the great Sufferings and cruel hard-hearted Dealings we have received from you Rulers Priests and People of New-England whose Prisons S●ocks Whips and Gallows have been our Portion from you and for no other Cause but our Testimony for God who have been moved of the Lord to come amongst you and in true Love to your Souls But Christ Jesus who is our Lord and Master received such Entertainment amongst the great Professors in the dayes of his Flesh and we know the Servant is not greater then his Lord and these Sufferings seem small in Comparison of the Eternal Weight of Glory which is already revealed and daily God is manifesting to his People wherein we have great Cause to Rejoyce and we seeing the Prosperity of that blessed Work he hath made us instrumental in to his Glory and to the Comfort of many weary and hungry Souls are daily encouraged in this blessed Work and to sound an Alarm against your Babylonish Building and Habitation of Cruelty which God eternal hath determined to Overthrow notwithstanding you are stout against him but the Lord will be too hard for you and your Building must fall who would limit the Holy One of Israel as that Generation of Evil-doers did of old who called Evil Good and Good Evil as you do who say You think God's Judgments are upon you because you suffer that Erroneous People called Quakers to live amongst you so desperately are your foolish Hearts darkned that Judgment is turned backward and Equity cannot enter But behold Cruelty and Oppression covers your Dwelling-place and you grope like Blind Men in the dark although God's Day is come and the Children of it see your Nakedness and whereby your Notion of Profession is vanishing and shall molter away like a Fogg when the Sun ariseth in her Strength and the Mountain of the House of the Lord shall be established on the tops of the Mountains for Sion shall be built and Jerusaiem spiritual shall be inhabited in Defiance of her Foes for God Almighty hath thundred from his Dwelling place and your Old Heavens must depart as a Scrole for notwithstanding your Profession of Gospel Ordinances Death reigns over you and to Moses you are not yet come But the Desire of my Soul is That the Lord may open the Eyes and Hearts of them amongst you who have any Tenderness of Spirit in them and who have not sinned out the Day of their Visitation that they would truly turn to the Lord who smites and then he would truly heal them who hath done Great Things for us who have believed in his Name and waited through the Way of his Judgments his Mercies we have found and our desire is that others might injoy the same blessed be his Name who lives forever London the 28th of the 5th Moneth 1676.
