things are broken down then their Church cannot stand long And as sure as the Lord lives so shall it come to passe a generation shall accomplish it and in the generation of the righteous seed it shall be finished their Lawes shall be broken down and murders avenged and their weaknesse shall then appear and their whoredomes and Idolatries and all their abominâ—tions shall be made naked and uncovered and judged by the Lamb and them that follow him whom he will gather to fight his battle And if the people were but sensible hereof as in measure I am through the zeal of the Lord it would raise up the spirit of zeal in them all to seek vengeance and the overthrow of all their unrighteous Lawes and Inquisitions and murders which keeps people in darknesse and ignorance and kills the just that the creatures may be saved and tyranny condemned And when once the Lord doth but reach forth his arme then shall people be awakened to mind what I now say Who would spare their own lives for the accomplishing of such a work that the spirit of the Lord may have liberty and that which limits it may be dashed to pieces and that the earth may be set at liberty and all Europ made free from the cruelâ—ies and tyranies of Antichrist and of the whore And to all you Papists I say and to all the body of the Church of Rome prepare prepare for the Lord God is comming up against you in his dreadful power his word of eternal judgement is gone forth and his vials are full of wrath to be poured forth and he will be avenged upon your tyrannies and murthers and unequal Lawes and subdue them before him And his dâ—ead shall â—all upon your consciences ye that are Idolaters hypocrites ignorant wretches wilful persons and bondslaves of Satan The plagues of God and the wrath of the Lamb shall reach unâ—o yoâ—r high Throne Repent repent for the Lords wrath is kindled against you and if there be any among you that feareth the Lord let him deliver his own soul by turning from your abominations least the Lord come upon you and destroy you altogether Give up your Inquisitions give up your unjust Lawes and cease to murther the innocent and torment the righteous I demand this of you on the Lords behalfe vex not the Lord any longer for his patience is turned into anger against you and his long-suffering will become fury to devour you And no little service we had in Dunkirke among our English Army Divers meetings we had in the Town and declared the message of salvation And I must commend the spirit of our English men for moderation more then the men of any other nation And I did many times clear my conscience among them both as they were men Sons of Adam and in relation to an eternal state did direct them to the way of happinesse out of sin and wickednesse that they might come to God preaching the everlasting Gospel That as they were Sons of Adam in trangression they might come to be healed and come into Christ the power and wisdome of God and might be saved Again as they were soldiers and as they were an army I was moved to speak mcuh unto them that they might know what their service was there in that state some time saying unto them it was possible the Lord might have some good work to do by them if they were faithful and noâ— seek themselves but the glory of the Lord And at one time being sent for by Governor Lockhart where there were many officers with him we had much discourse with them and this lay upon me to declare in the Name of the Lord unto them that if they did enterprize any businesse as they were an army in a spirit in opposition unto us and in that spirit that did reject us and deny us and gain say us then should they never prosper in any enterprize whatsoever but if they went on in any degree in the fear of the Lord and in that spirit that was among us then should they overcome their enemies and none should have power over them nor overcome them And after I was parted from them this following paper was upon me to write unto the whole Army in general both to officers and soldiers To the English Army to Officers and Souldiers Friends I Am moved to clear my conscience unto you in the sight of the Lord to warn you that you may all learn wisdom and the fear of the Lord God and may stand in his Counsel alwayes for that will be a defence unto you at all times and therein will you prosper in the Lords work and chiefly unto you the small remnant of our English Army in and about Dunkirk I say unto you officers and Souldiers fear the Lord God and walk in his wisdom and every particular person amongst you Inquire of the Lord what he requires of you inquire of the Lord I say and know his will and be obedient unto it in all things and so shall you prosper in standing in Gods Counsel and in performing his will and so shall you be exalted and have victory over your enemies even as you seek the honour of the Lord and his glory for if you honour him and do that which is acceptable to him he will honour you and set you a top of all your enemies and he will make way through the mountains even by you for the further appearance of his glory and he will honour you as his workmen if you be faithful to him and walk in his Counsel and wisdom till he hath prepared his own way by you for assuredly it is not in vain but the Lord had some end in it to himself in bringing you to that place and what do you know but he may have some good work for you to do it is possible there is more in his heart and in his purpose concerning you then yet may be discovered to you wherefore it is good for you that you waite upon the Lord to know his will fully concerning you that you may do it and fulfill it and therein shall be your Crown but on the contrary dependeth your misery and destruction And this I do know that the Lord hath owned and honoured our English Army and done good things for them and by them in these Nations in our age and the Lord once armed them with the spirit of courage and zeal against many abominations and tyrannies and he was with them in many things which he called them to and gave them victory and Dominion over much injustice and oppression and over Tyrants and cruel Laws and he was with them till that a spirit of vain glory and Ambition and self-seeking and the honour of this world entered into some and defiled the whole body made it deformed void of its former beauty and of its valour and nobleness also at which the anger of the Lord was kindled and against you
also was his hand turned with the losse of his presence because the sincerity the faithful principle was almost choaked the good eaten out from amongst you by the false spirit of self-seeking and vain glory which was entered into the hearts of many but this is to the army in general and to say no more of it to you only that you might search your own hearts and may be purged and may again return to the old spirit of righteousness which will reach after the liberty of the people and the freedom of the Nations and that all oppression and tyranny and unjust powers may be broken down to the dust before you and be subdued by you as your prey and that there be no more a looking back by you for rest and ease in the flesh in great houses of residence till you have visited Rome and inquired after and sought out the innocent blood that is buried therein and avenge the blood of the guiltless through all the Dominions of the Pope the blood of the just it cryes through Italy and Spain and the time is come that the Lord will search it and seek it out and repay it and it would be your honor to be made use of by the Lord in any degree in order to this matter whether the Lord will revenge the grievous blood-guiltiness that lies upon them by himself without an instrument or whether by you or others as an instrument whether this way or another that God will do it this I determine not but this I do know the time is not long that he will one way or another avenge and revenge the blood of the just upon the murderous head and this I also believe that the Lord will do it or make way hereunto even by you the men of our English Nation if you be faithful to him and do what he requires of you for what are these few poor Islands that you have run through and laid many mountains low and wounded the remainder of the Romish Idolatry that was standing in the beginning of your Wars and the remaining part thereof which stood between the dayes of Queen Mary and the last years of Charles hath received a mortal blow both by you and partly as preparers of the way but what are these little Islands of England Scotland Ireland they are but little in comparison of the great part of Christendom in which Idolatry tyranie and grievous oppressions do abound which the hand of the Lord is against and which he will take vengeance upon Oh did you but see and perfectly know the cruelties the oppressions the idolatries the murders and all whatsoever that is evil both in civil and Ecclesiastical State that is brought forth and rules in full power in all the Popes Dominions I do say were you but fully acquainted with all these things and also of the purpose of the Lord which is speedily to visit them with his rod it would awaken you and stir you up and it would set your spirits on fire of a great zeal with desires of no greater honour then to be instruments in any degree towards the executing of so good a work even towards the relieving of the oppressed and breaking the bands of crueltie that the Nations may come to rest and may no more be captivated with the chains of Antichrist I do say it would be your greatest honour to be instruments in such a work and do you know what the Lords purpose is concerning you onely this I do know the Lord hath a love to the men of our Nation and there is a spirit in them most fitting for such a work even the zeal of the Lord hath appeared and is beginning to appear against Babylon and against Rome the seat of the Whore and the kingdom of Antichrist shall be thrown down and the righteous people shall go free and Nations shall worship the Lord but there is many mountains in the way wherefore hew down the tops strike at the branches make way that the Axe may be laid to the root of the tree that your sword and the sword of the Lord may neither leave root nor branch of Idolatrie oppressions and tyranie which the Nations are held in slaverie under and oppressed withall to the grieving of the righteous soul and vexing of the spirit of the Lord Oh how great is their Idolatries you see a little part thereof amongst you oh what false fained deceitful and hypocritical services do they practice their imagâ—s their pictures and their praying before them which is Idolatrie their Candles burning and their Organs and instruments of musick and fained singings all this is Idolatrie and superstition and a vexation to the Lord and that law which imposeth them upon people contrarie to a good conscience and that Law which condemns others as Heretiâ—ks that will not worship thus and that power that kills and destroyes those that acts against those worships Laws and powers ought ye to make war against and to claim a disannulling of all such Lawes and Authorities by which this Idolatrie is imposed upon peoples consciences and established in the Nations and by which many are destroyed and condemned who cannot bow to their Idolatries such Lawes are not to stand before you for these be the bryars and thorns which covers the great mountains whom the Whore sitteth upon which the Lord will judge did you but know all their unrighteous Lawes murders and all cruelties which is abounding among them and they have a dispensation to commit unrighteousness those Lawes ought to be judged and destroyed and your sword is to be lifted up against them It is the Lords work I know to make men truely Religious but yet the Lord may work by you to break down the bryars and thorns and rocks and hills which hath set themselves against the Lord and which keeps people under the chains of Idolatry so that they commit Idolatry and are compelled to it and defended in it even by a Law but the Lord will confound all this either by means or without means for such is their oppression in their Ecclesiâ—stical state and their unjust Laws whereby their Church is established and defended that it causeth the very earth to mourn and the spirit of the righteous to faint and their hearts to fail because of oppression to murder steal and rob and to commit adultery these are accounted little sins amongst them they are even tolerated and pardoned by the Pope for a little money and if they slay a man and wilfully murder him â—hey can run to their Altar there they can have a dispensation of a wicked pardon and here is a law that tolerates murder and the greatest sins whereby it is hard for any that fears God for to be amongst them and blood blood lies upon their whole dominions and the guilty goes free and uncondemned and the innocent suffers unjustly for if any diminish from about their Mass-houses to the value of a peny that
is death by their law while murder is tolerated and here is nought but tyranie and oppression abounding even great mountains which must be thrown down and for which the sword of the Lord must come upon them and God will make their riches and their falsely consecrated vessels and treasures even a spoil and a prey unto you if you be faithful unto the Lord wherefore all you officers fear the Lord God and be not ambitious nor vain-glorious nor seek not your selves to gain unto your selves Kingdoms to exalt your own horn for if you go in this way and if this be your end then your end shall be frustrated you shall not prosper for the Lord will lay you aside with shame unto you but let it be your work your aime to require and demand the disanulling of their Inquisions and cruel Lawes both in their Church and civil State and that Christ alone may exercise the peoples consciences neither be ye as Lords nor Tyrants over your poor Souldiers but be ye loving and meek towards them I say unto you Officers and to all you that bear Rule in the Army be loving and kind and gentle unto all under your authority be not as tyrants nor oppressors over your poor Souldiers but be examples of all goodness unto them and give them no evil examples in your lives and conversations but lead them in the fear of the Lord and know a measure of his wisdom in you whereby you may walk before them and they may possesse their freedoms in their conditions and may not be as slaves â—o you but as servants to the Lord in their places and herein shall you be blessed as you fulfill that which the Lord requires And likewise unto all the Souldiers I say that ye may be sober and moderate and faithful to the Lord and not go in the excess and superfluity of this creation but may be all kept low in your hearts and tender towards God and obey them that have power over you in all things which are just and be not deboist nor given to vanity But all of you both officers and soldiers live in that which keeps your consciences void of offence and that you may be clear and free in your own spirits from the abominations of the Nations and then you will be a terror to the evil in all people wheresoever you come and being clear and free in the sight of the Lord having no sin lying upon your consciences then shall you face your enemies with courage and not fear death but shall be ready to lay down your lives for a testimony of Jesus in a good cause and upon good engagements and if the Lord be your fear then no man can make you afraid but you will be in that which overcometh the unrighteous power within you and without you also and here is the true honour and in this it doth consist in victory over all that which is contrary to God and here is the true way to happynesse and prosperity in this life and in the life to come by seeking his glory and not your own and all of you come to the light of Christ that Christ hath lighted you with all and that will teach you all things what you ought to do and what you ought not to do for that light of Christ within you ought to be the guide of all the children of men in every state place and condition and upon this you are to wait for counsel to receive it from the Lord by that of him made manifest within you and as for all your outward teachers that hath used their tongues amongst you and said the Lord saith it when God hath not spoken to them nor sent them and that preach for hire and sums of mony and these are them that cannot profit the people nor ever bring you to the knowledge of God nor give you counsel from the Lord and if you seek to uphold them and defend them against the power of the Lord and his word which is gone forth against them then shall you not prosper but fall with them and if you do enterprize any work in that spirit that doth oppose the spirit of Christ Jesus in his people you can never have good success but the Lord will confound you before your enemies And so now that you may all come into the new covenant to be taught of the Lord and to be far from all oppression this is the thing that you are all to wait for and to know the power of the Lord and to go on in that against unrighteous men and unrighteous lawes which are set up in the Nations that they may be destroyed and brought under and yet though such a victory would be honourable unto you yet there is a victory more honourable to wit the victory over sin and death and the Devil in your selves and that you are to mind and there is a kingdome which is not of this world which cannot be obtained by an outward sword and this kingdom are you to wait for that you may know it and feel it in your own particulars and this is the doctrine of the Gospel of peace unto you and the glad tidings held forth unto all of you come into the power of the Lord and minde it that you may be lead of it and then may you be fit instruments for the Lord to work by and take heed how you oppose those whom the Lord hath sent and is sending abroad in the nations to proclame the mighty day of the Lord they are no enemies to you nor to any mans person and therefore be tender over them for they go about the Lords work of this I warne you all in the presence of the Lord And so you dwelling in the power of the Lord there is nothing shall destroy you nor confound you but you shall have victory over all your enemies within you and without you and the Lord will make you a dread and a fear to the Nations and so this is a warning unto you all both officers and soldiers that you may minde what the work of the Lord God is in the nations your worke hath been and may be honourable in its day and season but he hath a work more hoâ—ourable to work after you that is to destroy the kingdome of the Devil and the ground of wars and your victorie hath been of the Lord but there is a more honourable victory to be waited for even the victory over sin and so we are the friends of the creation that doth preach this victory and this kingdom and peace which is endlesse and everlasting and which many are come into yet we reject not the state and work and victory and honour of a soldier but hath a respect thereunto in their season and as for the many and divers sorts of worship which is come up since the dayes of the Apostles and are of the whore and not of the true Church they are
power and spirit of the Lord then may you and all men judge who are the true Ministers of Christ and who are the deceivers And this manner of proceedings would decide all doubts in you about us and we shall be clear in manifesting the truth concerning the true Ministry and the false and the difference between them in their call in their practice and in their maintenance and this is sent to you to read and consider of in the fear of God as the testimony of our love to you and the truth that you may take heed to your waies and we would receive first your answer whether you do consent and will allow such a meeting and secondly his answer whether he will undertake such a dispute and we further are ready to clear all doubts that may remain in you about us who are your friends and desire your prosperity and faithfulnesse in what the Lord calls you unto by Edward Burrough Samuel Fisher And the same day we went to the Capuchin Friars and had some discourse with the chiefest of them in their garden concerning the light of Christ that every man is lighted withall and we did declare to them of the mighty day of the Lord that was at hand upon them and the Lord was come to search them and try them and would hew down their Idolatrous waies and worships and works c. And in order to a fair proceeding with them the next day I was moved to write this following paper to them by way of queries as to lay some ground of opposition hoping to have received their answer that I might have joyned tryal with them For it was in my heart to search and oppose their waies and practices and their whole Religion And these queries were delivered to them in Latine as followeth though from them I have received no answer to this day but the queries stands upon them and my charge they lye under charged upon them in the Name of the Lord Vobis omnibus qui profitemini vos-met-ipsos esse ad servitium Dei devotos ad sepaerationem e mundo mortisicâ—tinem in conversationibus vestris qui vocaâ—i estâ—â— per nomina fratrum Sororum tam in quam prope Dunkirkam POtens dies Domini Dei venit venturus est in vos in universum mundum expergiscamini expergiscamini voâ— qâ—i dâ—rmitis in terra Deus enim teribilis â—x rituâ—us est ad expostuâ—andum vobiscum ad redendum universo mundo â—poculum excandesceâ—tiae suae propter idololatrias vestras hypocrises abominâ—â—iones quae totum terrarum orbem corrupâ—runt ascenderunt in conspâ—ctu Domini provocarunt eum vociâ—eratio justi qui suit pâ—rcussus occisus jacuit intravit in aures alâ—i siâ—i gladius â—jus qui est verbum oris sui expergefactus â—st ad vulneranâ—um ad occedendum inimicâ—s ejus ac dies visitationis vâ—strae nunc advenit in quo accurate visitaturus exploratus est vos ut retribuat vobis vobis hoc ipsum est verbum Domini Qâ—apropter a Domino motus sum ad proponendum vobis paâ—cas hasce qâ—estiones ob explorationem vestcorum spirituum viarum ad quas responsum vestrum expecto ut omnia adâ—eraâ—â—ur ad lucem ad verum examen ut juste judicemini per spiritum Domini vel obsolvamini vel condemnemini Secundum opera vestra 1 Utrum fuere tales ordines virorum mulierum in vera Christi Ecclesia in diebus Apostolicis ubi Christus instituit unquam hujusmodi cultus exerâ—iâ—ia vivendi modum desidiosum otiosum aque ac Deo hominibus in utilem plane qualem vos exhibitis utrum tenetur aliquis fidem adhibere vobis et insequi Religionem excercitia vestrâ— nisi Religionem conversationes observationes cultus vestros probare possitis per Scripturas verba Christi aut exemplum sanctorum â—jus Apostolorum deinde utrum necne accipiatis totius vestri Religiosi cultus explorationem probationem per secundum scripturas Apostolorum scripta 2.

yea or nay 5. What is the soul and what was its state and condition before transgression and what is its state and condition in trnasgression and whether may man come to be restored by the second Adam into the same estate while upon earth as he lost in the first Adam yea or nay Friends I demand of you in the name and power of the Lord God to answer me these things in writing some of you and to subscribe your names that I may return you an answer and query further of you for we are sent of God to visit you and to try you And if ye be in the perfect truth and would convert others to your Religion be plain with us and use your best spiritual weapons in your zeal towards us and defend your cause and appear for your God and If you doubt of your own wayes and practices and be not able to defend your Religion then let your mouthes be stopped then turn from idolatry for now is the Lord God arisen that will judge ye and all the earth righteously I am a lover of souls but a witness against all false Idolatrous wayes of Antichrist and the Whore that hath reigned in the world and I am the Lords Servant Edward Burrough By the scorners of the world called a Quaker ANd we were with them again at other times in discourse with the chief of all the Fryars of the company called Recolects also and did in the power of the Lord declare truth unto them and â—gainst their Idolatry until such time as some of them were so offended with us not having much wherewith to answer in truth to defend themselves they of the company called Capuchins grew light and scornful and very wicked and did in a manner deny us the liberty any more to come unto them and we were with each company of Fryars two several times And as for the Iesuites we had much upon us to visit them in their Colledges but we perceived that the chief Rector of the Colledge of Iesuites had heard of our being in the town he did refuse to discourse with us and we went once into the Colledge and could not be admitted to speak with him And about a week after we came into the town the chief Governor Lockhart coming home he sent as he said to the Iesuites Colledge that they should admit us to come to speak with then as we found it from the Lord upon us at a convenient season we went again to the Colledge aâ—d were for some hours in discourse with the chief Rector of the Colledge who appeared at the first very high and subtle and crafty and did in his heart reject us and the simplicity of the Gospel but truth and the word of the Lord had dominion over him and before the truth he and they all are as weak as water many things were disputed upon which the particulars cannot now be related but in about three hours time he grew weary pretendding other business and would stay no longer with us and so we parted demanding of him whether he would admit some more discourse at some other time which he did refuse so we were not admited to come to him any more whereupon these following propositions I was moved to give forth and send among them as a charge upon them in the Name and power of the Lord and they were given and delivered in Latine up and down among the Iesuites and Fryars in the Town unto which to this day I never could receive an answer therefore my charge lies upon them to this day as a testimony from the mouth of the Lord against them of which they can never clear themselves And we were moved to visit the Nunns and went to their place and before many words were spoken to them through a grate for we might not see them and to speak to them both at once they aâ—ked if we were of the order of those called Quakers and they perceiving that we were such said they might not hear us because we were such and presently passed away and refused to suffer us to speak to them and therefore we had very small time with them onely gave our witness against them and passed away Vobis omnibus Jesuitis Sacerdotibus Fratribus vobis etiam omnibus cujuscunque generis de Ecclesia Romanensi in prope Dunkirkum AMici in
