have to inherit And further thou art telling of some that profess high attainments which hath put the Kingdom in confusion and a flame and thou sayst they ought not to suffer the preaching of the Word to go down nor the Sacraments to fail There is profession enough in the Nation but little possession and all who profess high things and do not possess them are hypocrites And now blessed be the Lord Christ is come and made manifest which is the highest attainment and he comes not to send peace on the earth but a sword and he shall confound the mighty and the lofty and they that have lived at ease shall be poured from vessel to vessel and now is war proclaimed betwixt Michael our Prince and all the inhabitants of the earth and all inchanters and deceivers and all such as have made merchandise of souls are now made manifest and now the nations are angry and the men of the earth are afraid and now Gog and Magog compasseth the Camp of the Saints about and the Beast upon which the Whore rides and the false Prophets and as many as have traded with the beast and the whore are troubled for her sorrow is coming in a day and all the powers of the earth cannot nor shall not uphold her for she shall be made desolate and burned with fire and now thou and the rest of the merchants are troubled and are petitioning to the powers of the earth to uphold you I say unto thee and unto all that joyn themselves against the Anointed which is now appearing who was dead and is alive and lives for evermore You shall all be broken and your eyes shall consume in their holes Gather your selves together howl ye Caterpillars strengthen your selves build up your batteries cast up your mounts for a mighty and a terrible one is coming up against you his voice is as the roaring of a Lyon he is greedy of his prey he shall devour at once and he is bringing about his determination to cut off every one that withstands him and no weapon formed shall prosper the eternal word is preached and the Angel is flying through the midst of heaven with the everlasting Gospel and by it shall Antichrist be consumed And because this Gospel is declared and preached and witnessed thou art angry But that which thou calls preaching the Word is nothing but thy own imagination This they have preached long enough and what hath it done all your divining None hath been turned from his iniquity And as for thy Sacrament thou wast complaining of the Popes Emissaries and here thou art one Thou mayst return thy word back from whence thou hadst it and all who come to witness the word and the preaching of it and the body and blood of Christ which is the Saints communion and the supper of the Lord will deny all your inchantment and all your canker'd rusty wormeaten divination and all powers which seek to uphold this which was and is abomination to the Lord they must partake of her plagues let all consider God hath overturned all the powers that have pretended to establish Religion by a law when as they have but established a form a husk and so Satan hath crept into that and all the Priests in this Nation have they not transformed into every image what way soever Authority and the powers of the earth bend and so have made merchandise and sold that which is not bread and so have deceived the people And further thou sayst The Apostle requires them to mark them that cause divisions diligently And thou goes on and teckons up many that have been polluted in Religion and thou sayes he will cast her into a bed of torment if they do not repent Rep They who are turned from the light of Christ are turned into division and they that have not the same spirit by which the Apostle spake that said so are divided from Christ and from the body and from the Saints and are in contention And here I charge thee and all the Priests in England that you are divided from Christ and turned from the light who prophesie for hire and divine for many who go in long robes who are called of men moster who have the chiefest place in the assembly and stand praying in the synagogue who go to law with your hearers and who give meanings upon the Scriptures who add and diminish who speak but that which you have gathered from other mens words there doth sects and opinions strife and division arise And here thou art marked by many in the County of Durham praised be the Lord to be one that is divided from the light and causes division who took away four Oxen for five pence halfpeny and so they have turned away from thee and all who stand in that nature wherein thou stands And therefore thou art petitioning that thou might have a law to bind us under thy witchcraft wherein the Nations have been deceived And it is true God hath overturned Kings and Princes and Dukes and Earls and Emperors for the sake of his chosen ones and all they who have made an image like the true God and like the Gospel and have made a decree and whosoever now make a decree that any shall fall down to worship any thing which is contrary to the light of Christ in the conscience God hath hewed them down and he will hew them down who go about to limit the Holy One who is Lord over all and who will have dominion over the consciences of men and the time is already when Jesabel is to be cast into a bed of torment and all who commit fornication with her whether they be Kings Emperors Dukes or Earls they shall all go down with the Dukes of Edom into the pit and with the rest of the uncircumcised and the Saints shall rejoice in their overthrow And thou says there is yet little doth appear in England but the old Beast under new habits acts his old tragedies and thou tells of Satans arrowes which are brought into the Nation and thou tells of Kanters and Quakers and Seekers and Creepers creatures new come from the pit and thou sayest they resemble Sampsons foxes which burn up faith bred by hearing the word preacht Rep. What hast thou and they that call themselves Ministers of the Gospel preached and cryed Reformation and have sided with all mens wills and flattered all the Governors and Governments that have been changed divers times within these ten years have you got nothing done yet but have travailed and brought forth nothing but wind and divifion and contention and one of supplanting another and have you tried one another and proved one another and every one preached up what he would have had and have you brought nought to pass what shameless Reformers are ye Can you not maintain with your Commissions and all your petitioning for Gods Ministers for the North and you had your desire they came as thick as
