A Loving and Friendly Invitation to all Sinners to Repent And a warning to all Back-sliders to Return unto the Lord while they have time and space given them Lest they Persh from the Right way forever With a Brief account of the latter part of the Life of J. Perrot and his End c. WHEREAS it is very plain and evident unto all whose Eyes are clearly open that this is a day of great Brightness and Glory wherein the Great and Invisible God hath appeared in a most Glorious and Heavenly manner And the Light of Heaven hath so shined that it exceedeth the very Light of the Sun and all other natural lights whatever And great and Glorious Revelations from the Great and Almighty God is seen and witnessed through the Glorious appearance and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ Whose coming to as many as Faithfull are have experienced to be in Power and great Glory which gives us the true knowledge of God the Father whom to know is life eternal And thus we come to the true understanding of the great Mystery of Godliness Through the inspiration of the Almighty So that now we being as men awakened out of the great sleep of sin wherein we were in times past with many more held in great Captivity and darkness but being turned to the light in it we come to see our way to God And so come to wait upon him to be taught by him who is the best teacher that ever man had for by his teachings who is pure and holy we that were unlearned come truly to learn and know the great Mysteries of Godliness and such as were ignorant and knew not the things of God comes to be made wise unto Salvation and thus we come to have good and sound experience of the good work of God upon our Hearts and Soules for it 's the Lord alone that works the Change in us and that fits and prepars us for his own Service and for the performing that duty that he requires of us for the Lord God is the good Husband-man and we are of his Husbandry and he is the good and perfect workman and we are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works So that here is the Effects of the Husbandry and workmanship of this good and perfect workman which is no other then the most Holy God working in us through his beloved Son Christ Jesus the works of Salvation Sanctification and Redemption all which are the good and perfect works of God in his Son Christ Jesus And all these good and perfect works they are wrought in the light where the Devil the imperfect worker cannot come nor his Ministers without tnrning from sin and by walking in the light as Christ our Lord is in the light we come to see more light by which the Thief this wicked one the Devil that would steal our Hearts minds away from the pure God who is light he comes to be seen over and to before he was and by Christ the Light the works of the Devil are destroyed and so he is discovered in all his wiles although he appears never so fairly and speciously in what disguise transforming or pretence soever yet in the light by which we see discover and distinguish all Colours and things whatever he is seen and discovered in all his Ministers and Messengers to be as he is Anti-christ against Christ Jesus opposing and gain-saying his coming appearance in all his Servants Ministers and Messengers for how hath he risen up in all sorts of Professors and people in whom he this wicked and imperfect worker had any power and rule against the Blessed appearance and second coming of our Lord Jesus whose coming is without sin unto Salvation And with what Bitterness Cruelty and Enmity hath all Nations Tongues and People who are crying out against perfection and who have not the mark of God in their fore-heads how have they been stirred up and inflamed with Rage and madness against the Saints of the most high and against the coming and Raign of the Lamb who takes away the sins of the World and whose Right it is to Raign And he must and will Raign until he hath put down all Rule and Authority under his feet and he alone must be Exalted who is King of Kings and Lord of Lords and Head of his Church through all the World I say his coming hath been and is as with thunderings and lightenings and terible Earthquakes not onely to shake the Earth but the Heavens also and he caused the Firmament to melt before him and pass away as a scrole and so his coming is in Light in Power in great Glory by whom all the wicked the disobedient and Rebellious ones must be called to an account and must answer before him the great and Just Judge of all the Earth who will Judge both Quick Dead I say before his great Tribunal Seat of Judgment must all the scoffers and scorners with all the rest of the whole rable of the wicked the Rebellious and gain-sayers too to give an account for all the hard wicked and ungodly speeches that they have wickedly spoken and for all the cruel wicked and ungodly deeds that they have wickedly done against the Lamb and his followers and amongst the many opposers of the Gospel and gain-sayers of the Truth and Power of Godliness I find not one more ripe in envy and that wicked work of the Serpent then Iohn Pennyman who once was convinced in some measure of the pure Truth of God but finding the way too straight and not being willing to bear the yoke of Christ nor yet liked to retain God in his knowledge so he is given over to a Reprobate mind and is led away with many strange delusions that the Evil Spirit that went out of him and walked in dry places is returned to his house again and finding it swept and garnished hath taken with himself seven other Spirits worse than the former and the last Estate of that man is worse then the first and in this bad State and Condition he is fretting labouring and scribling against the pure and Blessed Truth speaking evil of things he knows not Revileing the Saints of the most high uttering many Blasphemies against them that dwell in Heaven and this doth not satisfie him neither but he must Rake into the Ashes of the dead and gather together the old Letters and papers of strife and contention which
