YET ONE WARNING MORE OR The Tender of the Lords Love To the Lawyers Judges Rulers of these Nations By GEORGE BISHOPE And I charged your Judges at that time saying Hear the Causes between your Brethren and judge righteously between every man and his Brother and the stranger that is with him Ye shall not respect persons in Judgement but you shall hear the small as well as the great and shall not be afraid of the face of man for the Judgement is Gods And the Cause that is too hard for you bring it unto me and I will hear it Deut. 1.16 17. LONDON Printed for Robert Wilson at the Black-spread Eagle and Windmill in Martine Le Grand 1661. Yet One Warning more c. to the Lawyers Judges and Rulers of these Nations Friends YOu had need to look to it what manner of Judgment ye give for the Judgment is not Mans but the Lords who is with you in the Judgment and look with what Judgment ye judge ye shall be judged and with what Measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again from the hand of the Lord. And this I am moved of the Lord God of Heaven and Earth to write unto you Who bind heavy Burdens grievous to be born and lay them on mens shoulders but ye your selves will not move them with one of your Fingers who afflict the Just and take a Bribe and turn aside the Poor in the Gate from their Right Who turn Judgment away backward and Justice stands afarr off and Equity cannot enter who make a man an Offender for a word and lay snares for him who reproveth in the Gate and turn aside the Just for a thing of nought who pant after the Dust of the Earth u●on the head of the Poor and turn aside the way of the Meek who sell the Righteous for Silver and the Poor for a pair of Shooes whose treading is upon the Poor and who take from him Burdens of Wheat who abhorr Judgment and pervert all Equity who turn Judgment into Gall and the fruit of Righteousness into Hemlock The Lord God of Heaven and Earth will be avenged on you As truely as I live saith the Lord will I visit you and my hand shall be upon you and I will do unto you as you have done all the Earth shall be filled with the Glory of the Lord and he will make you an Execration an hissing an Astonishment and a Curse upon the face of the Earth and ye shall know that I am the Lord saith the Lord the Mighty God of Jacob and his King who liveth for ever to whom is the Glory and the Praise and the Dominion for ever and ever Therefore my Dear Friends my very Bowells are even turned within me for you that you may not be found among the number of those whom the Lord will so visit upon whom he will be so avenged and his hand will be thus upon For this thing I have heard from the Lord and this thing will assuredly be to those whom the Lord shall finde so doing in the Day wherein he will Judge the Earth in Righteousness and render unto every man according to his Deeds The Lord hath sworn it who is with you in the Judgment and takes notice how ye proceed upon what ground ye go and how ye move and what ye do and will give unto you according to your Works And so my Friends heed that in you which tells you it is so That is near you and with you that searcheth your hearts and trieth your reins and knoweth the very thoughts of your heart that in his eye-sight in the sight of that of him in you which shewes ye this and all that ye do Ye may do every thing and so be accepted of the Lord in the day wherein he shall judge every man according to his Works at his Appearing and Kingdome to whom be Glory and Praise and Dominion everlasting For this know assuredly That the Lord is not slack concerning his Promise as some men count slackness but is long-suffering to us wards not willing that any should perish but that all should come unto Repentance And his Fan is in his hand who will thoroughly purge his Floor and gather the Wheat into the Garner and burn up the Chaff with unquenchable fire Therefore it concernes ye to minde what ye do because ye must be accountable unto him who is Judge of heaven and earth who will judge the World in Righteousness and the People with Equity who is no Respecter or persons but will render unto every man according to his Deeds From whose eye none can be hid who sees in secret who is privy to all you do his Witness in you who knowes the Compass and End of all your Actions and the thoughts of your hearts as ye lie upon your Beds who searcheth the heart and trieth the reines before whom all things are naked and hare even before him with whom we have to do whose Judgment cannot be avoided who doth none Iniquity neither can sin come near his Dwelling Who is a GOD of Judgment Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him So I have poured forth the Bosome of my love to you in the Movings of the Lord Whose Love is to his seed in you who would have none of you to perish but that all of you might have Eternal life His bowels move in me to you-wards He would have none of you to die but rather that yee might every one of you return and live There is something of him near you and in you which tells you this and shews you the place of Understanding which he hath therefore placed in you to Direct you that ye may know the Path of Wisdom and the place of Understanding and when matters are too hard for you that thither ye might bring them and have Counsel and find Wisdom And this ye have need of to know and to repair unto and to be guided by it above all other men because you stand in the place of judgment and sit in the Seat thereof and are Counsellors thereunto that you may wrong no man nor oppress nor deny to any nor defer Justice and Judgment For as I have said the Judgment is not mans but the Lords who sees and will require who standeth in the Congregation of the Mighty and judgeth among the gods But where shall Wisdom be found And where is the place of Understanding Seeing man knows not the price thereof neither is it found in the Land of the Living The Depth saith It is not in me and the Sea saith It is not with me It cannot be gotten for Gold neither shall Silver be weighed for the Price thereof It cannot be valued with the Gold of Ophir with the precious Onix or the Saphire The Gold and the Chrystal cannot equal it and the exchange of it shall not be for Jewels of fine Gold No mention shall be made of Coral or of
