A Word of Information To Them that need it Briefly opening some most weighty Passages of Gods Dispensations among the Sons of Men from the beginning And insisting a little upon the State and Condition of the Nations wherein they now stand and particularly of ENGLAND For this end That Men may remember themselves and turn unto the Lord and seek to be delivered from the Mysteries of Iniquity to walk with God in Fellowship and Communion To which as pertinent hereunto is annexed An ADDITION concerning LORD-BISHOPS and COMMON-PRAYER-BOOK With a Tender ADMONITION to those called PRIESTS or MINISTERS And also A Loving EXHORTATION to those that have SEPARATED from their SUPERSTITIONS By W. T. LONDON Printed for Robert Wilson at the sign of the Black-Spread-Eagle and Windmil in Martins Le Grand 1660. A Word of Information To Them that need it c. GOD made Man at the first Upright and Innocent and Pure and Holy walking with him in his pure Nature in perfect peace and in boldness before him having his Understanding filled with Light and Knowledge from the Lord and his spirit possessed with the Spirit of the Lord. And therein he walked before the Lord in great liberty only in one thing the Lord laid a Restraint upon him Thou shalt not eat saith he of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil neither shall ye touch it for in the day thou eatest thereof dying thou shalt dye Gen. 2.17 and 3.3 Now there was no way for that old enemy Satan to rob Man of this happy peaceable innocent Condition but by getting him out of the bounds where God had set him for where no Law was there could be no transgression and where no transgression was death could not enter for death came in upon Man by sin Rom. 5.12 Therefore Satan that old Serpent sets upon Man here to allure and entice him and flatter him into a tryal of that which God had forbidden him by presenting a pleasurableness and profitableness in it Man yeelding the bound was broken that kept Man with the Lord and kept out death and misery And now Sin entering that is transgressing of Gods will and pleasure here with Sin Death entered and another spirit than before had possession in man even the spirit of the Serpent that got in and became Ruler in the Disobedience And now Death came over all in Man and over all Men. The flourishing state of his soul in Righteousness and Innocency that dyed a spirit of shame and fear that covered him and he now fled from the presence of the Lord. And death also must now come upon his body as well as upon his soul for to dust that must return Thus dying Man dyed according to the Word of the Lord. Yet now the Lord's mercies were not clean shut up from his Creature which he had made so excellent and given dominion unto over all other Creatures upon the Earth Gen. 1.28 but he leaves a way open still for Mans return unto himself thorow a promised Seed which was contrary to the seed of the Serpent and should bruise the Serpents head that enticing spirit that leads to Disobedience Gen. 3.15 So then here 's no returning now for Man back again from Death to Life but through that Seed that breaks the head of the winding disobedient spirit Now in this faln state Man lives and begets Sons and Daughters and multiplies and replenishes the Earth Thus the Earth is filled with Men and Women begotten in the faln condition And so as Men encreased and multiplied Sin also that encreased until the Lord repented that he had made Man and so drowned every living Creature wherein was the breath of life that lived and moved upon the face of the Earth Gen. 6.5 6 7 17. Yet in this sinking dying condition a Seed there was from the beginning that served and obeyed the Lord whose hearts were after him to return again unto him who wrought works of Righteousness and walked with the Lord as righteous Abel and Seth and holy Enoch who was translated that he should not see death And besides these a Generation that called upon the Name of the Lord and so were called the Sons of God Gen. 4.26 Yet these also in process of time wore out after that they began to corrupt themselves mingling themselves with the Daughters of Men Gen. 6.2 So that in the dayes of Noah only Noah was found Righteous in his Generation Gen. 6.8 9. whom the Lord therefore with his family reserved from the Flood to plant the Earth with after he had drowned the old world of the ungodly Gen. 7.1 Then again after the Flood as Men began to multiply so they corrupted their wayes again before the Lord so that in Abraham the eleventh from Noah which was about three-hundred sixty seven years after the Flood God began to gather to himself a People again out of the rest of the world who should bear his Name and so he called Abraham out from his fathers house and out of his own Country to walk with him where he would appoinc him Gen. 12.1 When Abraham was come out then the Lord blessed him and promised him to make of him a great Nation and that he would blesse him that blessed Abraham and curse him that cursed Abraham And said furthermore to him In thee shall all families of the Earth be blessed Gen. 12.2 3. So his Posterity in Isaac and Jacob were counted for the Lords Inheritance and owned by him above all the World and called his Son his First-born And by that name he required them of Pharaoh when he sent to deliver them out of the house of bondage Exod. 4.22 23. Then when the Lord had delivered them by an out-stretched Arm from under Pharaohs Bondage to lead them into the Land of Canaan which he had promised to Abraham When he had separated them from Egypt and brought them into the Wilderness of Sinai There he gave them Statutes and Ordinances a Miuistration of Laws written in Tables of Stone Of this Ministration Moses was made the Mediator between God and them and it was confirmed by many mighty Signs and Wonders The Miracles done in Egypt by the hand of Moses their passing therow the Red-Sea as on dry land Moses his fasting forty dayes and forty nights The terrible and dreadful Presence of the Lord on the Mount besides his going before them in a Pillar of Cloud by Day and in a Pillar of Fire by Night And many other Signs and Wonders all confirmed this Ministry given in the hand of Moses Notwithstanding all this and many moe great Signs and Wonders which they saw yet this People rebelled against the Lord and did not walk with him with all their heart but grieved him continually as he complained of them by Moses and afterwards by all his Prophets So that in the fulness of time God sought out another People to bear his Name and turned over the Promises made to Abraham to a spiritual Seed Children

for their advantage and over-reach one another for the greediness of gain Promise-breakers who will promise to one another and frequently fail one another in their Promises so that you dare hardly trust one another Is not your Church now made up of these and such like persons guilty of these and such like wickednesses Pick out all that are such in your thoughts and see how many will be left behind If any be they are called out by the Lord who saith Come out of her my People lest you partake of her sins and so partake of her plagues To be superstitious though never so much in the traditions of men it will not keep off the wrath of God from such workers of Iniquity And you have nothing else that 's peculiar to your selves in your Church-state to be zealous of as hath been manifested in another Writtng called A Reproof to your Priests or Ministers c. Now consider in the fear of God as if you were to give account of your judgment in that thing before him and before his holy Angels Are such as these think you such I say as are reckoned up such as your Church is made up of Are such I say the Church of Christ Are these the Church in God the Father sanctified by his Spirit Are these the body of Christ Are these the pillar and ground of Truth For the true Church of Christ is all these If such persons as you consist of be the Church then tell me who are the World Oh how apparent it is what you are and yet have you Teachers heaped up to your selves after your own lusts answerable thereunto who sew pillows under your elbows and bear up your name for CHRISTIANS in this State If any one oppose the things here written I shall more closely come to him with these QVAERIES following which I require him to answer in himself clearly without dawbing lest he stop his own way and the way of others from returning and looking after the Kingdom of God Quaery 1. Whether there be such a thing as a Cup of Fornication over-spreading the Nations since the dayes of Christ wherewith the Nations are made drunk according to Revel 19.2 Chap. 18.23 Quaer 2. Whether there be such a thing as a great Whore that sitteth upon many Waters that is Peoples Multitudes Nations and Tongues according to Revel 17.1 15. Quaer 3. Whether she hath not prevailed to corrupt the Earth with her Fornication according to Revel 19.2 even to give to all Nations to drink of the Wine of the Wrath of her Fornication Chap. 14.8 and 18.3 and so to make them drunk therewith Revel 17.2 Yea and prevailed over the Kings of the Earth also to make them drink of the same Cup Revel 17.2 Chap. 18.3 Quaer 4. Whether this great Whore shall not be judged from the Lord and burnt with fire according to Revel 18.8 Quaer 5. Whether shall not they that partake of her sins partake of her plagues according to Rev. 18.4 Quaer 6. Whether cannot this Whore be known to the Servants of the Lord seeing the Book of the Revelations which declares her was written for this end to shew unto his Servants things which were to come to passe Revel 4.1 Ch. 1.1 Quaer 7. Whether it doth not highly concern us all to be able to know her and the Cup of her Fornications that so vve may avoid her plagues by coming out of her More particularly thus Whether it doth not highly concern us all to know What this Whore is What her golden Cup of Fornication is and by what means she reacheth it forth unto the Inhabiters of the Earth to make all Nations drunk therevvith that so vve may take heed of it and seek to be cleared from it If these QVAERIES be yeilded unto then in the next place for discovering a little further what this Whore and her Fornication is it is Quaeried 1. Whether she be not called WHORE for departing from the Bed of Christ to another husband More plainly thus for departing from being chaste to the Counsels of Christ and from lying down in his Wisdom to let in the Wisdom of the flesh and submit to the Inventions of man instead of Christs Counsels Whether her Whoredom doth not lye herein principally according as the Israelites formerly were charged with Whoredom for the like Ezek. 6.9 2. And whether this be not the golden Cup of her Fornication wherewith she hath overcome the Nations and made them drunk namely A Pack of mens Inventions and Traditions gallantly composed to the fleshly mind and decently ordered together and imposed and upheld with great reverence as to outward appearance and as all Idols have been upheld with a like reverent Solemnity so that therewith she hath taken the minds of the Inhabiters of the Earth so generally and the Kings of the Earth also and hath subjected them to those Inventions and overcome their minds to fall under them as under the Counsels and Ordinances of the Lord and with that conceit hath made them drunk so that they being intoxicated with that conceit like drunken men will hear no reason against them though evident from the Scriptures but even like Drunkards fight and quarrel and are ready to buffet and kill and slay them that shall not submit to the same Inventions with them and call them and count them Ordinances of God as they do Let any one that opposes this shew what the general Cup of Fornication is since the dayes of Christ if this be not it and let him shew how his Cup will answer the things spoken of in the Revelation concerning it Let him shew another Cup so general wherewith the Nations have been made drunk according to what is said Revel 14.8 and 17.2 and 18.3 23. and 19.2 3. If the Cup of Fornication be thus understood then it is Quaeried Whether the means by which she reacheth forth this Cup to the Inhabiters of the Earth so generally be not by their National Ministries Whether any other way is found large enough and adaequate to the work namely to effect a general Fornication to mens Inventions and to subject the minds of men so generally to own Inventions and Traditions of men for Ordinances of God and to keep them resting under that Fornication but Ministries that may go over them all 4. Whether the Nations be willing to lye down under and submit to or have layen down under and submitted to the Deceivings of any Ministries but them they own and pay Wages to If they be deceived as the Scripture witnesses they are Rev. 18.23 Then is it not from their own Ministries seeing they will not receive Truths nor Deceits neither from any other but fight against them Now thou who hast read these things and thereby receivest any light into thine understanding take heed henceforth of reviling the Servants of the Lord who in his fear follow the Lamb whithersoever he goes leading them out of the Mystery of Inniquity
