A86010	To the inhabitants of the earth.	Gilman, Anne, d. 1686.	1663 (1663)	Wing G768A; ESTC R177418	5,004	2

To the Inhabitants of the Earth OH Earth Earth Earth hear fear dread and tremble before the Lord God of Power for with Strength is he risen to make inquisition after his Seed which is sown amongst you and now turn in and see what an account you can give for of a truth every one of you in particular have received a talent of the Lord wherefore stand in awe and commune with your own hearts and see what use you have made of your Lord's money who are found beating and imprisoning of your fellow-servants and are found in Pride Drunkenness Gluttony Strife Envyings Murmuring Cursing Swearing and Lying Weep howl and roar all you who are found lovers of Pleasures more than lovers of God and have put the Day of the Lord afar off who hath visited you dayes without number and would often have gathered you even as a Hen gathereth her Chickens under her wings but ye would not therefore behold Desolation is near unto all the unprofitable servants for utter darkness must be their portion and weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth because when I called none did answer and when I spake none would hear saith the Lord therefore is the Day hastening which shall burn as an oven and all the evil-doers shall be cast therein And as I was made sensible of these things with my mind stayed upon the Lord out of visible things a Love sprang up in me to the precious Seed of God which lies hid in your earthen vessels and in this Love was I constrained to lay pen to paper only to shew you how way may be made for the deliverance of this Seed And though many Warnings have been sent into the World by the Servants of the Lord yet notwithstanding this doth not clear me in his sight for a necessity being laid upon me concerning those who are yet sensible of the gift of God which is given to every one to profit withal Therefore to you that are sensible of such a manifestation of God's Love be faithful and deal faithfully with your own hearts concerning these things which are here delivered I say turn in and consider what you are a doing and how it stands with you that if the Lord should require your Lives at your hands what an account can you give before the Lord God for if you do well you shall be accepted but if not sin lies at your doors for the Vials of God's Wrath are to be poured forth and the last Trumpet is to be sounded therefore you dead Arise arise and come to Judgment for through the clouds is God coming and through the thick darkness is he breaking that way may be made for his Light to spring through all that arises contrary to it self that his Work may be carried on by his powerful and out-stretched Arm of strength for he will break to pieces all that arises contrary to himself for as Potters vessels will they be before him who refuse to let Him reign whose right it is for of a truth our God is arisen to plead his righteous Cause with all the Inhabitants of the Earth for the Cause of the poor and needy is come before him Therefore ye high and lofty ones consider what you are a doing for certainly it is now required of all both high and low rich and poor to come away and bring their deeds to the Light for there you are to be tryed even by the touch-stone of his loving-kindness which hath weighed you in the equal ballance and you are found too light therefore sink down to God's secret Witness which cryes daily unto you to return Repent ye backsliders and his free Love you will find to which if you take diligent heed you will do well and will come to be made partakers of this same free Love which is laid up in store for those that fear his Name and walk uprightly before him for I am constrained to beseech you in tender bowels of love to your souls that you would be reconciled to the Lord for that which is to be known of God is manifested within you even as it is written a manifestation of the Spirit is given to every one to profit withal and this is his Love to you which stands a Witness against all sin and evil in your own Consciences and as this is minded obeyed and followed it will lead out of sin and evil into Righteousness Holiness and Purity of life for that which reproves you in secret when no mortal eye seeth you for lying swearing cheating and cozening and all manner of sin and evil is the Spirit of God's Love which as you keep your minds to it it will teach you to live godly righteously and soberly in this present world Therefore be awakened all you who have a sensible feeling of God's gift which will not deceive you but deal plainly with you and instruct you in the path of Righteousness come away therefore and try this true Teacher for God is at work for the glory of his Name and the Redemption of his Seed Let him that readeth understand I speak this to those who have not lost their sensible state of the Love of God which is made known to mankind and as your ears are open to this true Teacher he will tell you all that ever you have done and then will it be given you to know that this is he indeed which is come to save his People from their sins Therefore come forth out of Babylon's sins or else with her must you partake of her plagues for the Vials of God's Wrath are to be poured on Babylon and all those that with her in her sins are partakers they must also partake with her in her plagues even ye Babylons Priests and People blind leaders of the blind therefore into the ditch must ye fall together for the great Whore it is who hath set her self like a Queen and hath said in her heart Aha! I shall feel no sorrow who hath made the Nations drunk with the Cup of her Fornication and hath rode upon the Beast and false Prophets and hath made her self drunk with the Blood of the Saints with her is God's Controversie to be known and with her will he plead who hath carried a golden Cup in her hand and hath deceived many therewith Let them that reade understand for Kings will he bind in Chains and their Nobles in fetters of Iron for the Redemption of his Seed for the Refiner is come with his Fan in his hand who will thorowly purge his floor and the Dross and the Tin will our God thorowly sweep away wherefore lift up your eyes and behold for the Harvest is near wherein the Wheat is to be gathered into his garner but the Tares must be burnt with unquenchable fire Lament lament therefore all you that are sensless of these things for be it known unto you that the day is at hand and on you shall it come as a thief in the night and for your
