A91924	The righteousnes of God to man, wherein he was created; with a discovery of the fall, by the strength and subtilty of the serpent: and of the recovery of man, by the seed of the woman, which bruises the serpents head. Also, a declaration against the beast and his followers, who act by his power; and a warning to the people not to joyn with the beast, nor to uphold the harlot, least you be taken with the beast and the false prophet, and cast into the lake together alive, and there be none to deliver you. A few words to O. C. and to the officiers and souldiers of the army in general. With, a true declaration how I lived before I knew the truth, and how I came to know the truth, and overcame deceit. Given forth for the simples sake, that they may learn righteousness; ... / By a sufferer for the righteous seed sake, in the common goal of Edmonds Bury in Suffolk, who is called George Rofe.

my people by my own power and thou shalt know that I have spoken to thee when I visit for those sufferings of my people then thou shalt not be able to plead ignorance but shalt know that thou hast been warned of them and that I gave thee a time to repent ANd all you Officers of the Army from the highest to the lowest and all Souldiers know that God drove out his enemies before you not for your sakes but for his own name sake which long hath been polluted by the heathen and them that God overthrew in his wrath it was for his own seeds sake that they might have their liberty and not for your sakes who are turned against the Lord and his seed and are exalted in the pride of life and in the same glory wherein the enemies of God were who are drove out and made a curse and reproach for ever Remember how God wrought in the dayes of old for his seeds sake and how he delivered his people Israel out of the land of Egypt not by the strength of flesh and blood but by his own power wherewith he hath overthrown the multitudes of Horses and their Riders and delivered his people and them who were delivered out of Egypt who in the wilderness turned from the Lord he there cut off and you are turned into the same Idolatry for which they were cut off Your hearts run a whoring after other lovers then God you eate and drink and rise up and play you are exalted in pride and glory in your own strength and do not give God the glory for what he hath done for you but follow the example of the Kings of Babylon to whom God gave power that they should destroy his enemies And remember what God did to Nebuchadnezzar who had greater power than you for his power reached over the whole earth and whom he would he let live and whom he would he slew And after that he was exalted gloried in the strength pride of himself Dan. 4 gave not God the glory and God drove him out from amongst men and changed his heart from mans and gave to him a beasts heart and wetted him with the dew of heaven and he was fed with grasse till seven times passed over him and till he knew that the Lord god reigned And hence you may see how God resisteth the proud and here you may see that neither the strength of flesh of men nor horses can deliver the proud out of the hand of the Almighty God who will reign over all And remember Belshazzar how he made a feast and drank wine in abundance and how God cut him off and gave his kingdome to Darius the Midian because he was weighed and found too light Dan. 5. And here you may see your figure and know that you are in the same nature and are too light And remember how the Kings of Assyria spoyled the Nations and beat down their idols and to do this God gave them power that they should execute his wrath upon the heads of his enemies though for doing it they had not a reward with the righteous Isai 1.37 But the Assyrians gloried in their own strength and in blasphemy did Rabshakeh come up against the Lords anointed and gloried for the King of Assyria in the multitude of his Chariots and they trusted in their own strength and in the pride of their hearts came up against the seed of the living God and God delivered his own seed and sent his Angel who smot the Assyrians cut off an hundred fourscore and five thousand and thus God delivered his people by his own power and not by the strength of man And thus God slew and cut off his enemies and avenged his quarrell against his adversaries whom he had made instruments in times before to cut down his enemies and when they were lifted up in pride then God abased them when they gloried in their own strength then God cut them down And all you while you have time spend it not in vanity and glory not in pride nor trust in your own strength for if you do surely God wil abase you cut you off for you are not greater than them whom God hath cut off for so doing And every one fear the living God and dread his name and live not in pride and vanity and use not violence to any man but be content with your wages for God will reward you according to your works and will surely punish you if you oppresse his people and all that you take by fraud God wil judge you for and while there is yet a day given you to repent in take heed how you despise it lest God cut you off in your iniquities and your perish and know this that God will deliver his own seed out of the hands of tyrants though his people for a time doe now suffer in innocency by you and your power and the powers of the earth yet a time of deliverance will come and woe to them that are their oppressors or that joyn with them that doe oppress them for they shall receive a reward according to their works and God will deliver his people himselfe and they shall reign over all their enemies for ever and ever And in the assurance of this hope and confidence I rest where man cannot make me afraid Here followeth a true Declaration how I lived before I knew the truth how I came to know the truth and overcame deceit FOr many years together in my youth I lived after the manner of the Heathen in pride and vanity and sporting and gaming and propanesse and much wantonnesse as the common prophane ones in the world now doe whereby the Just the light of Christ in me was slaine and the Covenant of God trode under foot by the power of the Beast which guided me in wickedness and oftentimes by that time I was twelve years of age the witnesse of God the light of Christ in me did arise and judge and codemne me for my wickednesse And oftentimes I was smot by the witness of God so that terror came upon me that I have not known what to doe but have been smot by the hand of the Lord into many fears of what should become of me hereafter and have often wept exceedingly in secret and in my bed so that I have wetted much clothes with teares But when I was among my kindred after the flesh or among other heathenish company the Beast acted so strongly and led me so much that I was ashamed to tell any what I ailed but rather submitted to the power of the Beast to joyn with the Heathen in wickedness than to tell them that I had been in torment for my wickednesse And thus I went on in rebellion against the light of my conscience from time to time though I knew by it I did not that which was right and was condemned in my conscience for what I did daily contrary to the light

C. and to the Officers and Souldiers of the Army in general TO thee Oliver Crumwell thus saith the Lord I had chosen thee amongst the thousands in the Nations to execute my wrath upon my enemies and gave them to thy sword with which I fought for the zeal of my own name gave thee the enemies of my own seed to be a curse and a reproach for ever and made thee an instrument against them and drove many of them out before thee and thou hast taken the spoyl of them and many have I cut down by my sword in thy hand that my wrath might be executed against them to the utmost and therein for a time thou was zealous and then I was with thee for my seeds sake but thou art fallen from thy first integrity and in the spoyl of my enemies art exalted and art set up in the glory of the world which is not pleasant in my sight for therefore drove I my enemies out and ruined them before thee that my seed might be set at liberty and have its freedom in the Nations to worship me But now thou rewardest me not with good for the good I have done to thee but in thy name and by thy power doe my pure seed suffer and tyrants rule over my people and by thy power and in thy name doe they persecute them and imprison them unto the death and have spilled the blood of my innocent people to satisfie their corrupt desires But surely I will visit for these things and much doe they lie upon thee and if thou lettest tyrants get rule in thy name and by thy power on thee and thy seed will I require the blood of the innocent that hath been shed in these late dayes under thy government and will deliver
