A TESTIMONY FOR THE LORD THE GOOD SHEPHERD Against All the false Shepherds and Hirelings of the World and more especially or particularly those of that Sort in the Nation of England By Thomas Taylor Wo be unto the Pastors that destroy and scatter the Sheep of my Pasture saith the Lord. Thus saith the Lord God of Israel against the Pastors that feed my People Ye have scattered my Flock and driven them away and have not visited them behold I will visit upon you the Evil of your Doings saith the Lord Jer. 23. 1 2. Printed in the Year 1675. A Testimony for the Lord the good Shepherd and true Minister of the Sanctuary and true Tabernacle which God hath pitched and not Man against all the false Shepherds hireling Ministers and Teachers of the World under what Name or Notion or Form soever who have run and God never sent them and therefore cannot profit the People at all HEar the Word of the Lord God that is gone forth against you like a Flame of Fire in this the mighty Day of the arising of the Almighty Power of the Lord God Almighty who is jealous of his Honour and who is tender of the poor Souls whom you have deceived and do daily make a Prey of for filthy Lucre your End is come the Day hath revealed you and in God's Ballance are you weighed and found altogether wanting and therefore is your Kingdom departed from you and now the Lord God is setting up his own most Heavenly and Everlasting Kingdom in the Hearts of his People who in the Leadings of his Light are come out from amongst you and who through the Blood of the Lamb and the Word of their Testimony have gotten Victory over the Beast the Whore and false Prophet who have defiled the Earth with their Abominations Lyes and Lewdness and he will yet gather more from amongst you And now the Kingdom under the whole Heavens is and shall be forever the Portion of the People of the Saints of the most high God whose Kingdom is an Everlasting Kingdom and all Dominions shall serve and obey him who liveth forever who is arisen in this his glorious Day not only to reveal but even to destroy to the uttermost the Man of Sin that Son of Perdition in all the Earth which hath fate in the Temple of God as God saying he was God and hath long exalted himself above all that was called God which alone ought to be worshipped but the Lord is arisen to dethrone him even that wicked One who would not suffer the true Seed the true Heir Christ Jesus the true Light to reign but hath alwayes like an enraged Beast pushed with his Horns against the Lamb in every Appearance whereby the tender Buddings of Truth in many People have been often hurt and the Growth of the good Seed often hindered and some of the feeble Ones even in their Comings out of Egypt have been cut off by this spiritual Amaleck the Dragon upon which the Whore the false Priesthood and Ministry rides whom God will have War with forever and will destroy him to the End for now is the Ancient of Dayes upon his Throne and the Thrones of the Wicked are cast down and one like unto the Son of Man to wit the Lord Christ Jesus in and with his numberless Number is come with the Clouds of Heaven for as sure as he went up so is he certain come again and brought near to the Ancient of Dayes and is in the actual Possession of that Kingdom Glory and Power given him of the Father that all People Nations and Languages should serve and obey him for his Dominion is an Everlasting Dominion which shall not pass away and his Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed and now the Judgment is set and the Books are opened Glory to the Lord forever and now is the Revelation of all Things and fulfilling of all Things which have been spoken of by the true Witness since the World began And now the Tything Hireling Priests and Merchants of Babylon who by their Works deny Christ come in the Flesh run to the Powers of the Earth and cry out and say They will not pay us they will not put into our Mouthes they will buy none of our Merchandize any more Alas alas our great City But for all their crying God will not hear not help them for they have left off to do good and God hath shaken his Hand at their dishonest Gain and the Son of God that ever blessed Light is arisen and is at Work to lead out of Darkness the Souls of the simple that they may know him alone to be their Priest Minister and Teacher and may not be a Prey any longer to the Wolf in the Sheep's Clothing the Wolf who is inwardly gone from God and ravenned into the dark Wilderness and hath stollen the Saints and Christ's Words and makes a Trade on them to deceive withal for filthy Lucre Wo unto them they have gone in the Way of Cain and after the Err●r of Balaam for worldly Ends and shall p●rish in their gain saying of the Truth as Core did And the Lamb shall have the Victory and the Lord is at Work leading his Flock by the Streams of living Waters Glory to his Name forever And what shall I only complain of the Unrighteousness and declare of the Downfall of the Kingdom of fal●e Teachers and Hirelings amongst the Turks or of the proud imperious Prelates of the dark See of Rome Or shall I not rather come nearer home to wit to the Place of my outward Nativity the Land of Old England who pretend to be n●●her of the Spirit of Turks nor Papists but People of the R●formed Religion called Protestants as who should say Protesters against Romish Usurpat●ons and Antichristian Innovations But alas to the Shame of thy Nakedness O England England there is found in thee a Conspiracy a Company of lewd and treacherous Men who stand over thee as Teachers covered with black both Inwardly and outwardly who wear a black Garment now as the false Prophets of old wore a rough Garment to deceive who cry Give give and can never have enough for they are as Graves and if one put not into their Mouthes they bite with their Teeth and prepare War against them suing People at Law for Wages for whom they do no Work most unreasonable of all Men and contrary to all other People reaping where they never sowed neither spiritual nor temporal Seed they claim the Tenth of such Men's Labours and Encrease as they themselves excommunicate out of their Synagogues and in their false Judgment judge to Hell what doth not the Destruction of their Souls seem enough but you must destroy their Estates and Families and sometimes their Bodies and Life also by long and unheard of Imprisonments and Plunderings Shall not the Nations of the World who profess not as you the
