the Decrees of men to root us out for none are of the True Seed of the house of Israel but those whom the Lord hath or shall make sensible of their dry bones condition and that witness the Work of the Lord within them and be not dismayed though you hear of Gog and Magog that is all who own not the Truth as it is in Jesus rising up and gathering themselves against you threatning to banish and to root out this Army whom the Lord by his mighty power hath at this day raised up according to Ezekiel's prophesie for if thou read the 38. and 39. chapters thou shalt there see who among the Nations shall be delivered from Gog and his Army and who shall deliver them Thou mayest read that he shall overcome many people and but one sort of people shall be delivered from him and they are such who live without walled Towers that are at rest and that dwell in safety which dwell all without walls and have neither Bars nor Gates which are not of the National Churches which are the People that are gathered out of the Nations these are they that the Lord will deliver that have broken their Spears into Pruning-hooks and their Swords into Sithes that have learned to War no more And all you people of what Religion soever that cannot witness these things in your own particulars as being truly called from the dry bones state and that have not Salvation for Walls and Bullwarks which are not yet redeemed from a War-like Spirit and that are not come to witness Christs Kingdom come which is not of this world who are not yet entred into your Rest Christ Jesus the Light in whom is safety and no where else and that are not as yet gathered out of the Nations but are yet with them in their Wayes Worships Fashions and Customs you must all fall under Gog and his Army and as soon as you are all overcome by him then will the Lord overthrow Gog with all his Army and this is suddenly to come to pass and the Lord will perform it for his Seeds sake And that this prophesie hath not been in former time fulfilled the Prophet saith in the 38. Chap. and 16. verse it shall be in the latter dayes And for the comfort of the Suffering Seed of the Lord this day this I am to declare unto you That this is the time that Daniel's Prophesie is now to be fulfilled though it hath been long a fulfilling for we are in that time that Daniel saw Chap. 2.41 42 43 44. And the Lord hath by his Power cut us out of the Mountain without hands for every hand hath been against us ever since he cut us forth And this stone cut out without hands doth grow and it must and will fill the whole earth and now it is at work to break in pieces the latter part of the great Image whose feet and toes were part Iron and part Clay so the Kingdom is partly strong and partly broken and as this part of the Image is a mixture of Clay and Iron so hath Anti-Christ's Kingdom mingled themselves with the Seed of men some in one form and some in another form so that they cannot joyn together but Papists against Episcopal and Episcopal against Presbytery and Presbytery and all others against those who are cut out of the Mountain without hands But in the dayes of these Kings hath the God of Heaven set up a Kingdom which shall never be destroyed therefore fear not and this Kingdom shall not be given unto another people but it shall break and destroy all these Kingdoms and it shall stand for ever and it will be as hard a work for the men of this Generation to remove this Mountain whom the Lord hath cut out without hands and to carry it away from this Island beyond the Seas as to remove the greatest Mountain upon the earth and to carry it to the place they have decreed for if the Decree of the Lord be that it must fill the whole earth where will vain man have a place to put it Therefore I say unto the men of this Generation who make Laws and Decrees against the Laws and Decrees of the Lord as once Balaam said to Balaak and his Princes Hearken ye Kings and give ear ye Princes God is not as man that he should lie neither as the son of man that he should repent hath he said and shall he not do it Hath he said that Babylon shall fall and be broken and that the Image which Daniel saw should be broken by the stone cut out of the Mountain without hands and that in the latter dayes and that those people shall be delivered from the Sword that cannot fight with a Carnal Sword but are redeemed out of it and hath he said it and will he not do it and hath he spoken by his Servants the Prophets what he will bring to pass in the earth and shall he not accomplish it Hath he spoke by Jeremiah his Faithful Prophet Jer. 23. Behold the dayes come saith the Lord that I will raise unto David a Righteous Branch and a King shall reign and prosper and shall execute Judgement and Justice in the earth in his dayes Judah shall be saved and Israel shall dwell safely and this is the Name whereby they shall call him The Lord our Righteousness Therefore behold the dayes come saith the Lord that they shall no more say the Lord liveth that brought up the Children of Israel out of the Land of Egypt Mark that deliverance was Great but one is coming near that shall be greater unto which the lesser must give place and in this our day we witness it a fulfilling and we can in measure say already The Lord liveth which brought up and led the Seed of the House of Israel out of the North Countrey mark that and from all Countries where they were scattered and they shall dwell in their own Land Therefore lift up your heads all you who are come hither for deliverance is near unto you for now is the Lord fulfilling of this Prophesie upon his people and in this Northern Island hath he began his great work in bringing up his Seed and leading out of the North Countrey and from all other Countries where they have been scattered for now is the Woman spoken of in the Revelation returning out of the Wilderness whom the Dragon cast forth floods after but the Man-Child was caught up to God but the Dragon made great War and hath persecuted her Seed but now is the everlasting Gospel Preached by the Angel that flew in the midst of Heaven And the next tydings will be Babylon is fallen for she made all the Nations drink of the Wine of the Wrath of her Fornication mark that she forced the Nations to drink of her Wine of the Cup of Fornication but the Kings of the Earth were not forced to drink of her Cup but they drank it freely from her hand and

Christian Information Concerning these Last times Wherein all people may clearly see what Prophesies the holy Prophets prophesied of should come to pass which of them is fulfilling and which is fulfilled and how the lowest part of the great Image that Daniel shewed to the King is now a breaking to ponder and by whom whereby People may see how very-near Antichrist or the great Whore of Babylon is to her End Also some prophetical Passages gathered out of Jacob Behme's Works who prophesied and gave them forth in the year 1623. Concerning what should come to pass in these Northern Islands and as he then declared them they are now come to pass and also what he said concerning the Turk what he was what he should do and what should at last become of him Wrinten in the fifth Month by F.

Christian INFORMATION concerning these Last Times CHrist Jesus the Light of the World was as you may read Mat. 16. tempted with an hypocritical People who desired that he would shew them a sign from heaven but he answered and said unto them When it is evening ye say fair weather for the skie is red and in the morning the day shall be tempestuous for the skie is red and lowring O ye hypocrites ye can discern the face of the skie and can ye not discern the signs of the times O ye Rulers of this Nation of England and the People thereof can ye as yet discern any more concerning the signs of the times that you now live in then those Hypocrites did in the dayes by-past can ye not at all discern what the Lord hath done and what the Lord is bringing to pass in this your day is not our God working a Work in your day and such a Work as you will not believe though it be declared unto you Nay are not you covered with thick darkness more than any age or generation of men that ever went before you Have not you had the Writings of the holy Prophets and of Christ and his Apostles that have prophesied from the holy Spirit of the Lord and they have left unto you upon record what the Lord would bring to pass in the latter dayes and the Book is sealed unto you yet so that you will not or cannot read what is written therein O all you that profess your selves Christians and say you own that which is written in the holy Scriptures of Truth and yet are found at this day walking and acting clear contrary to that which is written in that which you own and profess both Rulers Priests People will not the words that Christ hath left unto you upon record judge you all at the last day who are found making void his Commands by your Precepts is there not one Lawgiver who is able to save and destroy left you upon record and ought not all mens Laws to be subordinate unto his Law O consider these things for the Lord will suddenly arise against such a People that have destroyed or made void his righteous Law O Nation of England the Land of my Nativity which way shall I take up a Lamentation for thee and how do I mourn for thee to see both Rulers Priests and People setting themselves like so many briers and brambles to prevent and stop the Work of the Lord that he hath decreed shall now be brought to pass in the Earth and though the Scriptures that you say you own declare of such a Work as that the Lord will overthrow Babylon and the Lamb and his Followers shall have the victory over the Dragon and his Followers yet you will not believe but set your selves with all your power against the Lord and against his People abusing and shamefully intreating his faithful Prophets whom he hath raised by his own Power and that in your own borders first to declare unto you his everlasting Gospel that so you might be turned from darkness unto Light and from the power of Satan unto God And also they have as righteous Noah did declared unto you that the Lord would suddenly bring a Deluge upon the world of ungodly men if they did not suddenly repent and turn from their wicked wayes And this Message of the King of Heaven they have faithfully declared through thy Streets Citties and Markets unto all thy Inhabitants as well unto thee O King Charles whom their God hath set upon thy Throne as to the Begger that sits upon the Dunghil and in so doing the Lord's Mercy hath been large unto you all in that he hath faithfully warned you all by his Servants the thing that must suddenly be fulfilled upon you but have you done as the King of Nineveh did with his People or have you at all believed the report of the Lord's Servants but have you not done as those did in Zedekiahs day both Rulers and People Have you not done evil in the sight of the Lord and have not humbled your selues before him 2 Chron. 36. have not all the chief of the Priests and also of the People trespassed wonderfully according to all the Abominations of the Heathen in teaching for Doctrines mens Precepts And hath not the Lord God of your Fathers sent to you by his Messengers whom you in derision call Quakers and they have faithfully declared his Message unto you And have not you mocked the Messengers of the Lord and made a Decree that his Labourers shall no more labour in this his Vineyard and you have despised their words and misused and imprisoned his Prophets whom he hath sent until the Lord's Wrath is risen against you and there will be no remedy and will you who are as Briars and Thorns set your selves in battle-aray against the Lord who is a consuming Fire to all the workers of Iniquity and whose day that is near at hand burns like an oven and all the proud and all that does wickedly shall be as stubble and the day that cometh shall burn them up saith the Lord of Hosts and shall leave them neither root nor branch Mal. 4.1 O foolish people consider these things before it be too late and cease to do evil and learn to do well seek Judgement relieve the oppressed judge the Fatherless and defend the Widdows but if you do not these things but on the contrary let your Decree stand that will make many thousands widdows and thousands fatherless the Lord will never reason with you but by his sore Judgements he will overthrow you and none shall be able to help you saith the Lord God For this the Lord hath commanded me to declare unto you and also to his suffering Lambs who suffers under your power at this day that so you may be warned of the evil of your wayes and his

and is a Murtherer for when there were but only Cain and Abel born in the Earth yet he that was the Persecutor would have an uniformity in Religion and because his Brother would not offer sacrifice as he did he was wrath with him and slew his brother and the reason was because the one Sacrifice was accepted with the Lord and the Persecutors was not And there is no other reason or cause at this day that men are so mad to persecute to banish kill imprison their brethren because they cannot worship as those do who teach for Doctrine Mens Precepts and by their so doing they find no acceptance with the Lord and this makes their countenance change and they grow in wrath and make cruel Laws against their Brethren who worship God in Spirit in Truth and whose worship is accepted of the Lord but as it was with their first father Cain who was the first persecutor he became a fugitive and a vagabond upon the earth and the Lord set a mark upon him So let all Persecutors in this age take notice of this one thing That God hath in all Ages and Generations punished this Sin of Persecution with one and the same Judgement let it be found in whom it will as Scripture at large do shew and Histories make mention and the punishment was this Their houses was left unto them desolate See Mat. 23.37 38. O Jerusalem Jerusalem thou that killest the Prophets and stonest them that were sent unto thee how often would I have gathered thee but ye would not viz. Behold saith Christ your habitation shall be left unto you desolate And if Persecutors in this Age were not blind they might reade the Judgement of the Lord that have followed Persecutors in this particular upon those that are gone before them for as man lets Envy into his heart which is the ground of Murther and Persecution it eats out all good in him and makes his heart desolate of all good Motions of the Spirit of the Lord so it is without Pesecutors by that sin disposes themselves at last and the Lord drives them from their habitation without for all Persecutors are all unreasonable men and ever were for if I should ask a King Parliament or Council that make Laws to force all other People to worship in that Manner Form Time and Place as they shall prescribe and if I be not convinced in my own Conscience that their way is right and agreeable to the true Worship of God which is in Spirit in Truth and if I should worship in their way I should sin against God and against mine own Conscience then if I ask that King Parliament or Council if they will undertake at the last day in my behalf when God shall judge the Secrets of all hearts by Jesus Christ and will then keep me from the Eternal Punishment that must be fulfilled upon all those that worship God after mens Precepts and contrary to that measure of Light he hath given me to profit and worship withal dare any King Parliament or Council give me any assurance that they will do it for me If they should say they would yet I could not believe them that they were able or that they can save their own souls neither can I believe that there is any respect of persons with God but Kings as well as others must appear naked and bare before the Lord and every one shall receive according to the things done in the body whether good or evil and also I read that Tophet is prepared for the King as well as for the Beggar Therefore seeing the King cannot save my soul is it not an unreasonable thing that he should force me to destroy my own Soul Besides the King is not that great Prophet that we are to hear in all things but should be servant to that great Prophet for Daniel and the three Children could not worship according to the Law of the King and were justified in their so doing as we may read Dan. 3.18 Now seeing it is so let all that fear the Lord endeavour to keep their Conscience clean and void of offence both towards God and towards man what ever we suffer under the hands of wicked and unreasonable men for the time is near that God will lift up his hand for his People to deliver them after the manner of Egypt And if the Lord should suffer any of us to be banished for his Truth sake from the Land of our Nativity I know the Lord would give us favour in the sight of the People first as he hath done already and we should get much of their love with us which is their best Jewels and though it be midnight now yet but few Dogs bark at us as they have done formerly for the Lord's Truth doth begin to be of good report in this Nation and few are the number of Persecutors now as hath been formerly and as God set a mark upon Cain for persecuting his Brother so all men now that are God-like minded and all that God hath given a spirit of moderation unto they mark all that are Persecutors now and whoever he be that now is a Persecutor he is as much marked as he that is a thief and steals from his neighbour the one being led by the spirit of covetousness and the other by a murtherous spirit of envy and both of the Devil And the greatest part of men are much moderated as to those called Quakers whereby I see that Babylon falls apace for where moderation is the Lord is near at hand and the Devil hath now but a short time which makes him rage the more for we live in these dayes wherein Scripture-Prophesies are fulfilled and the Antient Visions do now speak and we know what times we live in and our God hath given us of his Light Life and Power and hath called us to be of the First Fruits unto the Lamb and to be of that Number that must break in pieces the great Image and now at last to ingage with the Lamb to fight with the Dragon and his Followers which will be the last battel for as the Lord hath been pleased to raise his Seed according as his Servants have foretold and Scriptures have declared in this Northren Island first and from hence hath sent his faithful Servants in these late years to the outmost parts of the Earth to preach his Everlasting Gospel to the sons of men and the Lord's Work hath prospered in their hands so certainly as he hath begun his great work in this Island so the Lord will finish it in this Island and Antichrist shall have his mortal blow in this Island first whereby all Nations that hear of it their hearts shall be struck with fear to hear what the mighty God hath done for his poor afflicted People in England And the Servant of the Lord J. S. hath declared there shall be such a day of deliverance as the like was never before it nor never any shall be after it and all Friends are to stand still for there is our strength to stand still and to wait upon our God out of our thoughts reasonings and consultations and all keep in the Faith for by that we shall conquer all our Enemies both within and without Heb. 11.1 for that 's our ground of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen And Friends this I declare that I perceive such a Faith that the Lord hath begotten in his despised People called Quakers in England that fear not Banishment no nor death it self and this I find is begotten in thousands that cannot speak much for Truth but they have Faith to suffer for Truth if the Lord calls them to it whereby it is evident they shall have at last the victory and shall be saved in the Ark the Light which that was but a figure of that saved Noah and his family from drowning in the waters and as the old world mocked Noah and would not believe that the Ark would save him so hath this Age mocked the People of the Lord for believing in so low a thing as the Light they say is But the Lord hath suffered a Flood to arise in this Nation that hath well-nigh fetched off all the highest Professions in England though they have flown from Mountain to Hill yet the Flood hath arisen and will arise to fetch them all off but all those that abide in the Ark the Light shall flote upon the top of the Waters and shall be safe until the Waters are abated wherein a New Earth shall appear in which shall dwell Righteousness So all Friends who believe in the Ark and dwell in it keep to the Word of his Patience and then your belief will not cause you to make haste for the Lord in his good time will perform what is here written to the renown of you his suffering Seed for evermore Written on the 11. day of the 5th Month 1664.
