THE SOUNDING VOYCE OF THE DREAD OF GODS MIGHTY POWER To all the Iudges and Rulers of the earth who rise up against the Lamb And to Gog Magog and all their Armies And to the whole host of the power of darkness and to all men who fight against God who or whatsoever they be or whatsoever they are called LONDON Printed for Thomas Simmons at the Bull and Mouth neer Aldersgate 1658. The sounding voice of the dread of Gods mighty power to all the Judges and Rulers of the earth who rise up against the Lamb And to Gog Magog and all their Armys And to the whole host of the powers of darkness and to all men who fight against God who or whatsoever they be or whatsoever they are called BEhold ye Rulers of the earth listen and heare all ye earthly minded men let the blindness of your minds be opened that your dark hearts may be enlightened hear I say and stop not your eares you whose minds are in the earth whose eyes are closed whose hearts are covered with a thick vail by your own iniquity who see not the wonders of the Lord wrought among the living neither perceive the mighty power of the God of the whole earth who are besotted through the sinfulness of your continual transgressions and are groveling as moles in the earth laden with thick clay and covered with the vail that is spread over all flesh that you see not the glory of the God of life neither perceive ye the comliness of the holy one of Jacob to whom the bright morning-star is as a cloud of darkness and the way of the living God as a fierce whirlwind of fire who see not him that dwelt in the Bush neither hear his voice who hath made darkness his habitation and his pavilion round about him thick clouds of the sky Heare I say and let my words have entrance in you and let the sound of my voice take place in your hearts let the opening of my lips give astonishment to the wicked and the inlargement of my heart the confounding of the Heathen let the dread of the Lord take hold upon the Hypocrites and astonishment seaze upon the double minded let the prudent keep silence and heare and let the honourable be quiet and consider let the understanding give audience to my words and let the mouth of the fool be stopt let the sinner stand still and be quiet and let the ungodly consider the words of truth rebel not against the word of the Lord neither harden your hearts against the dread of his power let the tall ceders bow and bend and that which is lifted up be brought down and stand ye all in meekness For behold the omnipotent power is come the rock of ages is revealed the everlasting strength is made manifest the God of Abraham hath reacht forth his hand and the Redeemer of Israel is come to dwell in the midst the great Jehovah hath uttered his voice and he whose Name is I Am is at hand he that moveth upon the waters may be felt he that formeth the seed in the womb may be known he that inhabiteth eternity is come to dwell in his people and walk in the middest of the poor despised of his flock having cleansed them by the washing of water and renewed them by the Spirit of burning refined them with his righteous Judgements and cleansed them with the blood of his Son that in his Sion redeemed with judgement he may dwell for ever more and take up his rest in the middest of his people having made the place of his feet glorious and his residence as a seat in the middest of a fire which fire burneth against all them that are in the night and giveth light to them that are in the covenant whose glory is hid from the dark mind and his councel withholden from the unbeleeving in heart he standeth near unto the wicked who perceiveth him not and taketh notice of his secret intents he observeth the footsteps of the Kings of the earth and marketh the decrees of the unrighteous and when they have filled up their measure he putteth forth his finger to their life and taketh away their breath he suddenly cuts off the wicked and regardeth not the mightiness of Princes he searcheth the hearts of the Kings and ruleth over the powers of men his infiniteness can never be declared in his hand is the breath of the life of the souls of all man-kind Heare I say and consider my words and ponder the meditations of my mind for behold the Lord God of life is come Immanuel is revealed the Root and of-spring of David is grown up as a plant of renown the Seed of the shepherd sits upon the throne and before him shall all the Kings of the earth lay down their Crowns every Emperor shall bow and bend and the Potentates of the earth before him shall wither as a green hearb their glory shall perish as the untimely birth of the womb their honour shall vanish as the smoke before the wind their wisdom shall fade away as a blossom cut off and their understandings shall come to nothing the wisdome of the most high shall be exalted over them all and with his foolishness will he them all confound yea with a foolish Nation will he anger the Judges of the earth and with a despised people will he provoke the Rulers of the world to jealousie by the foolishness of his flock will he confound his enemies and by his weakness in them will he subdue the strength of the mighty and though all his enemies strive in the arrogancy of their Spirits and in the fierceness of their strength yet shall he be exalted who is lead as a Lamb dumb and he shall reign whose right it is in whose mouth there is found no guile who maketh an end of sin and bringeth in everlasting righteousness and setteth up judgement in the heart and cometh to rule in the Kingdomes of men and overturneth the host of his enemies by whom Judges are lead away fools deviners turned mad before whose presence the mightiness of the mightiest Rulers of the earth is as wax before the fire and their strength melteth away as the fat of Lambs Wherefore hear and see O ye kindreds and Rulers of the earth the Lord our God is come the might of his strength is revealed the power of his presence made known he hath chosen his Army to himself their names are written in his life he hath numbred up his hosts together and armed his chosen with his everlasting strength the Captain of his host goeth before them and the camp of the Lord is very great they are numberless as the sand of the Sea and infinite as the stars of heaven Even so is the seed of Abraham the remnant of the flock of Jacob whom the Lord hath redeemed who are chosen and faithful and true yea behold it 's even so and that all the Nations of

the earth shall know for the Lord of hosts rideth on in meekness in the midst of his host and maketh War in righteousness with the enemies of the Lamb who would not that he should reign who makes an end of sin and he is cloathing his Army with zeal as with a garment and covering them with the armour of light and preserveth their head in the day of battel and girds them up with strength and guideth their feet upon the rock and preserveth their life under the shadow of his hand When he speaketh the word his Army goeth forth and at his command they march on their way He lifteth up a Standard before them and proclaimeth open War against the Inhabitants of the Earth who now hear that the Lamb is come to reign in Righteousness and to stain the pride of their glory and confound the height of their wisdome and lay their honour in the dust for ever Therefore all Kindreds of the earth even Gog Magog and all the hosts of the heathen are rising up in the bitterness of their spirits in the height of the power of the man of sinne joyning all their forces together as in one band of darknesse taking counsell from Aegypt making a covenant with death and an agreement with hell and gathering up the utmost powers of darkness to be as a refuge unto them And thus in the strength of the King of the children of pride they are rising up against the Lord even the God of life and against his anointed ones who have indeed and in truth received the anointings and need not man to teach them but are all taught of the Lord God Almighty who also teacheth their hands to war and their fingers to fight And he utters his voice as he sound of many waters before his Army who followeth him in the might of his power whose presence is dreadful in the midst of his host and there is none that is able to stand before him for he is a consuming fire in the midst of his Camp and burneth up his enemies round about and before him and his Army shall all faces gather paleness everlasting shame shall cover the glory of all flesh before him all people shall be much pained his dread and vengeance shall take hold on all his adversaries His redeemed shall march with him in the travail of their souls from strength to strength shall they continue on and none shall be feeble among them their arrows shall reach into the bowels of the scornful and their words of life pierce the hearts of the hypocrites They shall tread upon Kings as upon mortar and trample upon the wicked as upon ashes they fear not the greatest Goliah's neither yet the wickedness of the pride of Haman unrighteous Decrees cannot stop their mouths nor the fear of a Furnace or a Dungeon with-hold them from their way all flesh is as grasse before them and at their rebuke shall the potsheards of the earth be broken for ever before them there is no Nation shall stand for one of them shall chase a hundred and before five shall the strength and wisdome of a thousand be confounded And this the Lords Army shall never be confounded and his glory in them shall never be defaced nor his power with them shal never be overcome nor his strength in them shall never be vanquished therefore in vain do all the potsherds of the earth strive For they that rise up against them shall be as flax before the fire and the mightiest among the sons of men shall be as the grasse that is cut downe for the Lords host is very terrible and in meekness is the Lamb riding on to judgement his followers are enrobed with the light of the morning and adorned with the beauty of the Sun Their eyes are enlightned with the light of the most high they see through the dark parts of all their enemies and discern the secret plottings of all their adversaries Their wisdom comes in like a river and their understanding shall never be darkned Their strength is renewed as the morning and they are valiant to do exploits The wisdome of the wise before them shall be confounded for ever and the understanding of the prudent be esteemed as a thing of nought They spy out the lurkings of their enemies and see through the coverings of the deceitful Of their strength they shall never be deprived neither shall their weapons be taken from them Their refuge shall never be shaken nor the place of their rest removed The wicked shall never enter upon their dwellings nor all their enemies invade the land of their rest for the desire of all Nations to them is come him that they long waited for have they now received And they tread upon the Cocka-trice den and meet the devouring Lyons In the power of the Fathers love there is no deadly thing that doth them hurt nor any weapon formed against them that ever shall prosper And this is Sion the redeemed of the Lord the glory of the God of Israel the feed of Jacob whom the Lord hath chosen and set up on high over all the kindreds of the earth which stands against all the enemies of the Lord and is his new threshing instrument with which he will thresh the Heathen in his anger and bathe his sword in the blood of the slain for behold his sword shall devour much flesh and the slain of the Lord shall be many with Sion the perfection of beauty will the Lord break in pieces wound confound and overturn for ever the horse and his Rider the Captain and his Troop the Ancient and honourable the Prophet that telleth lyes yea all the host of the unrighteous and the strength of the Army of the man of sin and the beauty of the whore that rides upon the beast and all them who set themselves in battel against the Lord and all them who lead into captivity and would captivate the Servants of the Lamb shall go into captivity for ever For behold the Lord is with us the Shout of a King is among us the Lord whose name is holy is come he hath uttered his voice from Heaven and now the Nations of the earth are angry but the Lord will reign in righteousness and all his enemies shall be astonished at his presence and his adversaries shall be amazed for ever their hearts shall be turned as a stone within them and men shall be at their wits end for fear and for looking after those things which shall come upon the earth and all them whose names are written in it their wisdome shall not preserve them their understandings shall not defend them neither shall all their subtilty cover them from the Light their nakedness shall appear to their everlasting shame and the prisoners of hope shall rejoyce over them for ever more For behold I say your day is come wherein you shall bow down under the prisoners and fall under the slain according to the words
