guided them and rul'd them as a man would guide and rule the Beast whereon he rideth and she hath made them all unstable as VVaters for she sate upon Peoples Multitudes Nations and Tongues and all the Kings of the Earth have committed VVhoredom with her and have drunk of the Cup of her Fornication for she held forth a golden Cup in her Hand a smooth Profession and pleasing Pretences but within full of Abominations yea rich and poor bond and free even from the Beggar upon the Dunghil to the Prince upon the Throne they all drunk of this Cup and have been drunken with the VVine of the VVhore's Fury and many of them have as it were drunk the Blood of the Saints and of the Martyrs of Jesus Christ whom he hath raised to bear their faithful Testimonies against the VVhore and against her Fornications and all the Blood that hath been spilt upon the Earth is to be found in her for within her lodgeth the Ground of all Iniquity and the Foundation of all Transgression But now hath the Lord God remembred his poor banished Spouse which sits mourning in the Wilderness and the great Persecution of her Seed and great BABYLON is coming into his remembrance and she shall receive a just reward from the Lord God of Life for all the Abominations that have proceeded from her since the time the Virgin fled into the Wilderness though she hath long sate as a Queen and hath known no Sorrow but hath had a Husband and hath brought forth many Children of Fornication and hath lived deliciously for many Generations whilest the true spouse the Lamb's Wife hath sate desolate in the barren Wilderness where she hath been childless and deprived of her Husband yet nevertheless thy Judgments are at hand and thy Downfal approacheth O thou great and Antichristian-Babylon for Sorrow Desolation and Misery is even ready to seize upon thee and the Smoak of thy Torments doth begin to rise and thy Kingdom is full of Darkness and the Lord God hath discovered thy Nakedness and thy Sorceries and thy false Divinations whereby thou hast deceived the Nations and caused them to receive thy Beast like mark and many are they that are come out from thee and will no longer be partakers with thee in thy Sins lest they should partake with thee of thy plagues for strong is the Lord God who judgeth thee and thy Cup which thou hast given to others shall be filled unto thee double even the measure that thou hast measured to others shall be measured unto thy self double and all that wherein thy soul delighted must depart from thee and thou must come down and sit in the Dust O thou Virgin-Daughter of BABYLON thou shalt be no more counted delicate nor fair for the DECREE is gone forth against thee and thy Judgment is assuredly coming upon thee Therefore all ye Inhabitants of the Earth hearken diligently and your Souls shall live and take WARNING in this the Day of your Visitation and go no longer on in your Polutions but come forth of the midst of BABYLON and be no more partakers with her in her Sins for if you do you will assuredly partake with her of her plagues for she must be burn'd up and consum'd and brought to nought by the fiery Fierceness of the Lord's Wrath and the old Heavens and the old Earth wherein she hath ruled in all this Dark Night of Apostacy since the Dayes of the Apostles must be destroyed with her and all them that wilfully resisted the Voice of the Lord their God in their own Hearts and Consciences calling them out of BABYLON the Land of Darkness into his marvelous Light Therefore beware of kicking against this but if in wilfulness and stubborness you reject this the large Love of God towards you yet nevertheless let it be known unto you all in his living presence that you have at large been warned therefore shut not your Ears at the Voice of Peace and be not like to the deaf Add●r which stoppeth his Ear at the voice of the Charmer although he charms never so wisely For now Wisdom uttereth her voice in the open Street and in the broad wayes she crieth at the Gates at Entry of the City at the coming in at the Door unto you O men I call and my voice is to the Sons of man O ye simple understand Wisdom and ye Fools be of an understanding Heart and know in th●s your day the things that belong to your Peace before they are hid from your Eyes and the Door of Mercy be shut upon you and the Decree sealed against you and Repentance removed far from you so that you cannot attain to it although y●u should seek it with tears Now as BABYLON comes to be destroyed so likewise is the mariage of the LAMB prepared and preparing and his Bride is making her self ready even the true Virgin the Lamb's Wife the true Church is now returning out of the desolate and barren Wilderness where she hath sate for many Generations in a mournful state and condition a place not known to the World a place prepared her of God for so many Dayes and now praises be unto the Lord our God the Dayes are near expired and she is returning again into her former State and Glory and the Lord is now creating for her a new Heaven and a new Earth wherein dwelleth Righteoushess and if any question what her former Glory was and wherewithal she then was beautified let them with singleness of Heart stand in the Light of the Lamb look into John's Revelations and there thou shalt see what he declareth of her and of her Glory Beauty in Ages past even in his Dayes for he saw her a woman exceeding glorious and beautiful even cloathed with the Sun having the Moon under her Feet and on her Head a Crown of twelve Stars She was clothed with the true Light of heaven even with the brightness of the everlasting day and the Moon with her changeable things was under her Feet she was ●rowned with the Brightness of the Glory of the Lord God of Life and she travailed to bring forth the Man-Child that should rule the Nations wi●h a Rod of Iron Now this was the state of the true Church in the Dayes of the Apostles before the time of her Banishment into the Wilderness And John saw this to be wonderful even in Heaven Now this will be the State and Condition of the true Church after she is returned out of the Wilderness again and the time is assuredly come where in the Lord God will cloath her with his own Brightness and with his own eternal Glory and she shall again bring forth the Heir which shall rule the Nations with his Rod of Iron and shall bind PRINCES in Chains and NOBLES in Fetters of Iron and he that doth deny this doth deny plain Scripture for they bear Witness that Sion shall arise and shall shine for●h for her Light is
