the light because their deeds are evil Now this witnesse which makes every man and womans state and conditions manifest is light and this light is Christ Jesus the Son of the living God who was Crucified and slain by the blood-thirsty chief Priests and Rulers who took councel together against him And this Lord Jesus who was spiritually abused amongst the ungodly Generation the same is he which is risen and come in the flesh with power and great glory for the remission of sins and for the justification of many and also for the Condemnation of the wicked who know not God Now that which is to be known of God is manifest within every man and womans heart the word is nigh in the heart and in the mouth look not abroad for it is not without you it is in you make no delay come to a search the pearl of great price lies hid in you you must dig deep to find it you must sell your own wayes your own wisdom your own will worships must you part withall your worldly delights must be thrown aside if everyon come to find the pearl which lies hid in you or to know the true wisdom which God giveth the whole heart must be swept and thorowly searcht if ever the groat which is lost be found The Widow lost the piece of silver in her own house and with a candle she searched till she had found it mark the Widow searcht with the light in her own house for her lost silver she did not search in the dark nor out of her own house but she searcht with a candle in her own house till her lost was found All to the light come every one in your own particulars who are out of the truth of God who are yet in your sins and in your iniquities come forth to the true tryal bring your deeds to the light for the same Lord Jesus who enlightneth every one that cometh into the world is the true way which leads to the Kingdom of God Now all you who are seeking the way of the Lord out of the light you are out of the way you are in darkness and the true way of life there you will never come to find the way which leads to Gods Kingdom is but one and that is a streight narrow way so that none but the children of the light are able to pass that way the hypocrites can never walk in the streight narrow way such as are out of the light knows not the power of God to guide them but they are in the many wayes wherein is confusion and such are talking and sound worshipping of an unknown God who are out of the light life and power of God such know not the true teachings of God for they have not heard his voice at any time nor seen his shape and how can such know the teachings of the Lord who are in darkness and out of the life and power of God who know not his voice neither have seen his shape but walk in the imaginations of their own hearts such are found in the broad way which leads to destruction but the Children of the light and of the day the sheep of the true shepheard of Israel they know his voice they know him and follow him and strangers they know and cannot follow and to them he gives eternal life and such can never be pluckt out of his Fathers hand and such comes to know the true teachings of the Lord God who knows his voice and are led and guided by it but all you who are found scoffing at the light O you are found fighting against the Lord you would go in another way into the true sheep-fold then by the Door but such are thieves which would murther the sheep such cannot enter into the true sheepfold of rest where the whole flock of God finds pasture And now all you who are yet in your sins iniquities who know not the power of God to guide you I ask you where there is not such a thing in you all when you are upon your beds or alone separated from company when you are cool and calm I say at such a time is there not such a thing in you which brings your sins to remembrance and spreads them in order before you Yea the sins of your youth it brings to remembrance and this shews you the danger of sin many times before ever you have committed them and this often strives with you to preserve you from sinning against the Lord and from doing that which is evil but I say to you as I have already said where this true witnesse is not obeyed by such it is crucified and put to open shame therefore I say to you again in the fear of the living God deal faithfully plainly with your selves you who have any honest desires to know the true way of the Lord bring your deeds to the light try your wayes there give not sleep to your eyes nor slumber to your eye-lids till you know how the condition stands with you if you are in your sins the light will discover it to you as you in faithfulness to the Lord keep whilest you are in your sins this will speak trouble to you For there is no peace to the wicked saith my God and if you live in your sins then sin lies at the door and your consciences will condemn you and if sin lies at the door how then dares any of you to pray or sing or sacrifice your will-worships to the Lord Doth he regard the many prayers of the wicked Are they not abomination to him Is it not required That all those which nameth the Name of the Lord Jesus must depart from iniquity Or can the dead praise the living God I mean such as are dead in their sins whiles they are alive O deceive not yourselves God will not be mocked such as you sow such shall you reap if you sow to the flesh you shall reap Condemnation Wo and Misery the Lord hath no pleasure in the prayers or praises of the wicked the Lord is wearied of such services or such sacrifices they have an ill savour in them To Obedience all come for Obedience is better then sacrifice it is truth in the inward parts which the Lord our God requires And I say again to you who hath any honest desires after the Lord be not wilfully blinded come out of your sins live no longer in them for the wages of sin is death O come to him that makes an end of sin and destroyes the Devils works in man the Fountain is open for sin and for uncleannesse it hath this virtue in it it maketh clean the heart and conscience of the Children of men it purgeth from dead works it doth not purge people from some of their sins and leave the rest behind but the blood of Jesus clenseth from all sins although many of you say and your Teachers tell you and Teach you that you can never be freed

A Tender Visitation of Love TO PROFESSORS and PROFANE But especially to the Inhabitants of the Town of WAYMOVTH With some directions how they may try themselves whether they are yet in their sins or whether they are come to him that makes an end of sin Also a Warning to all sorts of people that they may repent of the evil of their wayes whilest the day of Mercy lasteth least Repentance be hid from their eyes Howl ye Inhabitants of the Earth for the day of vengeance is at hand the Lord will stain the glory of all flesh Being written from the breathings of Life by a hand-maid of the Lord S. R. London Printed for Thomas Simmons 1661. I have a long time kept silence now will I write that I may be eased I will declare that I may be unburthened O You professors the Lord God in measure hath shewed me your states and conditions which is very bad and dangerous for you to go on in O you are all of you poasting the very way to Destructon a black day hangs over your heads you are all of you as people in the dark you are seeking the way of the Lord where it is not to be found O your wayes and doings are not good they are not according to the Truth of the Living God you have ayrie light vain spirits you speak of the things you know not you are like people who are dreaming of things and when the sleep is over behold it was not so you have gotten the shew or shadow of truth but the Substance you know not you are in the many wayes where no true peace is to be found but Rents and Divisions you have chosen lying vanities and you go on in the imaginations of your own hearts chusing that which the Lord hath no pleasure in but his Righteous Soul is vexed even from day to day O you barren Trees you cumber the ground leaves are found on you but no fruits at all The Lord God will shake off your Leaves and your Branches shall wither you shall have nothing left to cover your selves withal the very foundation shall be shaken whereon you stand then may you wish that the Mountains or Hills could hide you from the Wrath of the Lord God he will speedily avenge himself upon all the workers of Iniquity Therefore you stout-hearted men and women leave off doing that which is evil and repent make no delay for the time is short the day of the Lord God is at hand wherein all your wayes words works and actions are to be tryed of what profession so ever you are of the Lord will visit you he will prove all your wayes by Fire and there is nothing shall be able to stand in that day but that which is pure of God which hath known the day of burning and purifying by fire of such the second death shall have no power but all Professions which are out of the life and power of the truth of the living God such I say shall perish and die the Lord hath no pleasure in them they are as a loathsome thing which hath an ill savour in his nostrils O you Professors your many long prayers the Lord hath no regard unto your holy Sabbath Daies and your solemn Feast-daies are as an Abominable thing the Lord hath no pleasure in them they are no more to him then if you offered Swines flesh or did cut off a Doggs neck the Lord is even wearied with your Sacrifices your hearts are unclean before him read Cain the Murderer which slew his Brother the just Abel who was born after the Spirit I say Cain which slew the just he brought also a Sacrifice and offered it unto the Lord even as Abel did whom the Lord had regard unto but unto Cain and to his off ring the Lord had no regard for the same Nature which slew the just one I say that same Nature can offer Sacrifices the same Nature which went out into the Transgression which was the first Nature I say the same Nature can Pray and sing and speak many great swelling Words but this the Lord hath no regard unto O why will you die why will you die Why will you stand out any longer Why will you put the day afar off Are you resolved through wilfulness to die in your sins hath not the Lord set good and evil before your eyes and will you still chuse the evil and despise the good O you Professors of the Town of Waymouth the Lord hath had a tender pitty towards you O your warnings hath been many by the Lords Servants and hand-maids but you have made it as a leight thing and you have called the Lords Messengers and Servants the Devils and some have said that the Devil sent them but the day will come when many of you shall say be made to confess that many of you have been warned from the Lord out of their mouths and many shall stand as witnesses in the day of God when his wrath shall be revealed against the unrighteousnesse of every man and woman I say in that day many shall stand as living witnesses against you because the Lord hath warned many of you out of their mouths although you have despised the reproof of the Lord and cast his Law and his Counsel behind your backs O may it not justly be said to you as the Lord said to a people in the daies of old because you would not receive my Counsel nor regard my repoof therefore the Lord said to that people he would laugh at their calamities and mock when fear cometh upon them Awake awake you who are asleep in security I say awake and come forth out of your graves the Lord our God is risen he hath sounded his Alarm to the Nations he hath uttered his voice to the ends of the Earth the remote Islands hath heared his sound the graves are opened and many dead bodies are raised to sing prayses to the Lord for ever and ever And now is the Lords own chosen remnant to be gathered in and now is he making up of his Jewels with whom he will dwell and he is chusing of a Peculiar people who shall worship him in spirit out of all Shews and Shadows Forms Customes and Traditions of men And all Forms and Customes and Shadows of things shall be laid wast I say it shall be laid wast the Lord God will do it his own mouth hath spoken it the day is at hand wherein our God will work Wonders I say the day is at hand wherein our God will work Wonders amongst the Children of men and amongst all that dwell on the Earth will he make known his Arm of strength and his Power shall be seen and his Miracles shall be made manifest to the view of all the Inhabitants of the Earth Babylons Merchants shall trade no more in that day their lying devinations shall cease the Lord will raise up Pastors and Teachers after his own heart such as
