The Word of the Lord to all Rulers Governors and Magistrates of England to try themselves by what Spirit and Power they Rule by That they may come to know whether they Rule by the Power of Jesus Christ the true light that lighteneth every man that commeth into the World unto whom all Power is given both in Heaven and in Earth which is the higher Power which every Soule is to be subject unto or the Power that man became subject unto through the Fall With a Warning to them that they hearken not unto the Priests of England by whom they have so long bin deceived even by that lying spirit that is gone out into the mouthes of all the false Prophets which have hitherto prevailed to perswade them that they should not hearken to the true Power within them which is the true light that lighteneth every man that commeth into the World Also it may be profitable for all men that they may come to see the difference between the true power that every soule is to be subject unto for conscience sake towards God and that power that is not to be obeyed for Conscience sake but rather suffer according to the will of God VVith some Quaeries put forth concerning the ground of all true Power and Government which is from that power that every soule is to be subject to for the Lords sake and not that which is set up in and by the will of man This have I Written in the Word of the Lord God as I was commanded by the Lord on the sixteenth day of the sixth Moneth about the eighth houre of the day as I was eating meat in my own house saying Rise and Write what I shall say unto thee concerning the Rulers and Magistrates of the Land Which was done in the will and countenance of God Who am a friend to all men for the Seeds sake Known to men by the Name of Thomas Davenport The Word of the Lord to all Rulers Governors and Magestrates of England to try themselves by what Spirit and Power they Rule by c. HEare the Word of the Lord ye Rulers and Magestrates of England thus saith the Lord God who is come near unto you in judgement that ye may all be tryed and therefore try your selves whether ye be in my power which is the higher Powers that every soule is to be subject unto for there is no power but of me and all that are in this Power rule for me and not for themselves nor in the will of man but in my will and for me saith the Lord. And if ye be the higher Powers then are ye also subject unto me even unto my Law which is the light in you and so your Power is of me and every soule is to be subject unto you for my sake Now all that are not in my power rule not for me but for themselves because they are gone out from my Spirit and Power into that which doth resist my Power in which the Enmity is against my Seed unto which the damnation is to Now unto this power none is to be subject for Conscience sake but for Conscience sake suffer according to my will because it is that which prevailed over man at the first when he turned aside and went out from me into the power of darknesse which I had separated from me and so I drove him out to wit man from my presence and placed my Flaming Sword to keep him out from my life who was shut up in death as I had said unto him out of which that power he had chosen could not deliver him nor by any other could he be Redeemed but by my Sword by which he is kept out in which stare are all Man-kind in now who are in their falne nature gone out from my Spirit and so are gone out from my Power which is the life by which the whole Creation is to be Ruled and Geverned And now in this state though men are standing in the place of Magestrates and professing themselves to be such as doe Rule for me yet being gone out from me are gone 〈◊〉 from the power which is of me and by me saith the Lord and are holding up another power which is of another Kingdom that doth oppose it self against my Kingdom and Power unto which every soule is to be subject And now all you who professe your selves to be Christian Magestrates and to maintain my Law consider whether ye be such yea or nay see whether ye have owned my Son whom I have sent a light into the world unto whom is given all power both in Heaven and in Earth unto whom every Knee must bow and every Tongue confesse ye that say ye maintain my Law see whether you have known and owned the Law-giver for there is but one Law and one Law-giver which is Christ And this Jesus Christ is to be known within you which is the Immanuel God with us even God manifested in the flesh as also saith the Scripture the which if you reject to know and beleeve in you have rejected my Law and gone out from my power which you professe to Rule in and Govern by and to have owned with your Mouthes and all who are sound here their professions will not cover them whose works deny me for all they doe is in my sight abominable and unto every good work they are reprobate And now O you Magestrates consider whether you have Ruled for me or for your selves saith the Lord God and see whether you have not been Crucifying to your selves my Son whom I have sent a light into the world and so have Crucified and slain my power in you by which you should have Ruled your selves first and so the Nations over whom you are placed for if a man rule not his own house how should he take care for the Church of God And now how can it be otherwise but that you should be found having your hands in persecuting the righteous Seed even my Sons and Daughters saith the Lord which I have chosen out of the world to bear witnesse to my name For had you known and owned me you would have known and owned my servants sons and daughters also but my words are fulfilled If they have persecuted me they will also persecute you and if they had known me they would have known you also but they have not known you because they knew me not And now you Magestrates confider whether ye are of me even in my power Doth now my witnesse which I have placed in you that bears witnesse to my name testifie against you or for you See whether by it you are not condemned in your selves for I the Lord God who hath not left my self without a witnesse in any of the sons of men Therefore I say to you doe ye now honestly consider and hearken unto me and in the coolnesse of the day you will hear and on your Beds for I the Lord God am he who searcheth

your hearts and shew unto you your thoughts and the intents of your hearts Now enter ye into my secret place commune with your own hearts and be still and see there what my witnesse doth testifie unto you for that is your state before me saith the Lord and if your hearts condemne you I am greater then your hearts And I the Lord who am the true and faithfull witnesse that cannot lye am near unto you all and will be a swift witnesse against you and also will come near unto you in judgement to pleade with you And this will I doe to try you even as I have tryed them that have gone before you And if you will not indure my judgements but turn them to Gall and Wormwood and kick at them with the heel as they did then will I come against you in my fury as I did to them And this I did to have healed them but they would not be healed therefore were they everturned For thus saith the Lord God I even I am he that wounds and heals and kills and makes alive And now if ye will not suffer your selves to be wounded then shall you not be healed and if not killed ye shall not be made alive For he that saveth his life shall lose it and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it If any can receive this let him receive it And now O you Rulers and Magistrates Is it not time for you to know judgement therefore flight not the day of your visitation for this is it wherein I the Lord God am warning you and proving you whether you will now turn unto me at my reproof and now goe to and see whether my witnesse I have placed in you will not testifie against you that I would often have gathered you but ye like to old Jerusalem would not be gathered therefore if you will not be gathered but continue in your rebellion against me this shall ye have at my hand Ye shall be scattered who despise the riches of my goodnesse forbearance and long suffering and my goodnesse leads you not to repentance but after the hardnesse and impenitency of your hearts treasures up to your selves wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of my righteous judgements for according to your deeds will I reward you saith the Lord. But my desire towards you is as my witnesse in all your Consciences will testifie unto you which hath not consented to your sins nor takes delight in your destruction but that you may all live and not die And now thus saith the Lord God If ye will turn now unto me and keep my judgements and not depart from my Counsell then will I heale you which if you love the light and come to the light and bow down unto it and beleeve in it and diligently hearken to it then will you come to know true judgement wisedom understanding and the fear of me even the true power in which you should rule and govern the Nations but if ye reject the light then doe you reject me and put away true judgement from you and goe from my power in which you should rule And therefore O ye Magestrates be you warned from me saith the Lord God that ye goe not from my Counsell for then woe be to you if ye turn from my Prophet which I have raised up unto you to be your Councellor saith the Lord for whosoever refuseth to hear the voyce of that Prophet that I have raised up that soule shall be cut off from his people Now if you heare the false Prophets the Priests of England they will make you vain for they have rejected my Prophet that Moses my servant prophesied of the true light that lighteth every man that commeth into the world they will leade you out from my Prophet and Son out of my Councell saith the Lord God for they have gone out from me and so have rejected my Councell and have not stood in it as the false Prophets that Isaiah Jeremy and Ezekiel Prophesied against Now my sheep heare my voyce they know me and will follow me and a stranger they will not follow but will flee from him for they know not the voyce of strangers And now O ye Rulers and Magestrates try your selves by what spirit you are led and be no more deceived by them who daube with untempered Morter and cry peace when there is no peace for from the least of them to the greatest they are all given to Covetousnesse even both the Prophets and Priests every one dealeth falsly for they have healed your wound deceitfully crying peace when there is no peace saith the Lord. But to whom of you shall I speak and give warning that ye may hear and fear before me behold your Ears are uncircumcised that ye cannot heare for behold the light of the Lord is unto you a reproach ye have no delight in it and so my power by which you should rule and govern the Nations you will not know because you delight not to know me saith the Lord Therefore be you all warned now you have time that ye prise it for my Spirit shall not alwayes strive with you as it hath not striven with them that have gone before you who rejected me therefore were they consumed saith the Lord God And now all you Magestrates and Rulers in England what is the power ye rule by Is it of me saith the Lord See what it differs from those that were before you who persecuted the Prophets Christ the Apostles and all the Saints who bare their testimony to my name and against the world And was it my power by which such Ruled and Governed who were thus persecuting my servants Sons and Daughters who could not for conscience sake submit to their wills And have not the same persecutions in this my day attended them in all parts of these three Nations and else-where where ever I the Lord have sent them to declare my Message even to beare testimony to my name and against the ungodlinesse of men warning them every where to Repent left they perished For behold I have sent among you Prophets and wise men and some of them have you persecuted by Whipping Stocking Stoning beating in your Synagogues and Streets some have suffered the tryalls of cruell mockings and some persecuted from City to City and some of them have ye killed Moreover I have sent unto you my Son a light into the world Saying surely ye will reverence my Son But they said this is the Heire Come let us kill him that the Inheritance may be ours and so they slew the Lord of life whom I have sent a light into the world and have preferred and set up above the light a murtherer and so the old City Jerusalem is yet standing which is called Spiritually Sodom and Egypt where the Lord lyeth Crucified And now ye Rulers and Magestrates consider this Is it because such men are set up in the highest place of
