A93368	Soule-reviving influences of the sun of righteousnesse, or Some bright beames of light and love, sparkling from Christ upon the darke and drooping hearts of sin-weakend and clouded believers, even while we are in this solitary wildernesse, not yet arrived at the land of spirituall Canaan; but taking a turne in the darke and dampe valley of the shadow of death. With several evangelicall and heart-winning incouragements to the life of faith in the Sonne of God, notwithstanding our manifold weaknesses and hainous provocations; yea to the keeping up of the same comfort, hope confidence, and joy in him in the sadest straights, of the sorest darknesse.	Smith, John, of Badgworth.	1654 (1654)	Wing S4091A; Thomason E1485_1; ESTC R208761	97,631	237

though in every new change and form mysterious enough to cozen all the unbelieving world though never so wise and learned The man of sinne seeks with all subtilty to set up that in forme and flesh and so preserve his kingdome which God is doing in Spirit and power It is the form of Religion that is the shelter and thicket wherein this deceiver and his false Prophets lurke concealed but yet shall never prevaile to deceive the chosen faithful and ransomed of the Lord these being redeemed from the earth shall still be found with the Lamb upon Mount Sion for that the Lord shines forth light upon them whereby through their Sonship and unction with him they doe and shall discover and overcome it It is from this unction that you know truth from errour though it be never so much reproached and errour from truth though never so much extolled and magnified by carnal and temporizing Christians Wherefore you faithful ones have great cause to keepe upon your watch inasmuch as the chief design of Antichrist is to seduce the Elect for that there are none else in the whole world that either dare or know how to oppose him but you and he well knows that if he can but prevaile with you all the world besides wil follow him headlong as the Gaderens swine ran into the Sea and were choaked You know that the National Antichristian Clergy and carnal Priests are the Sorcerers who have been so numerous that they have bewitched and deceived all Nations These are the Merchants who have made the Inhabitants of the earth drunk with the wine of their fornications and with whom the kings of the earth have beene and are so friendly as to commit fornication these are they who by their Jure Divino as they will have it have opposed and exalted themselves above all that is called God or that is worshipped so that they as God sit in the Temple of God shewing themselves that they are God and Lord it over Gods heritage and the consciences of his people These are the men who for their judaical hire where not sacrificed unto their idol snatched by force of the secular power have through their humane learning Academical degrees School Divinity Sacrednesse of their orders and Ecclesiastical ordination led thousands of souls hoodwinkt to destruction Such Schoole Graduates usually prove Theologi gloriae and not Theologi Crucis Divines of glory and not of the crosse and in a word may easily be perceived to be the Rulers of the darknesse● of this world even that part of Antichrist which he hath left lurking in this generation to oppose Christ in Spirit take heed therefore that you neither drink nor sippe of the Clergies cup lest having drunk thereof ye through the strength of their inchantments fall asleepe and be rendred unable to follow Christ further The Lord is come out of his place to rebuke the boisterous winds to breake the Cedars to darken the Sunne and Moone to shame and confound all humane Policie and power to staine the pride of all glory and to bring to contempt all that be glorious and the honourable of the earth and to take vengeance and do execution upon Babylon in order whereunto he hath stained the Lordly power and pride of those false Prophets the Prelates destroyed their Courts Canons and other abominations this design of his he is still carrying on though he may now seem to be going backwards the Sunne of Righteousnesse is never retrograde there shall not a stone be left upon a stone which shall not be thrown down shee must be wholly desolate And as before the Lord made use of the higher powers for effecting of what was then done so he wil for the residue in the fulnesse of time command his sanctified ones cal his mighty ones even them that rejocye in his Highnesse to fulfil his pleasure upon the great whore therefore you that have the Spirit of Christ within you give the Lord no rest till the Mountaine of his house be according to his own promises set up above the mountains and exalted above the hills till the new and spiritual Jerusalem that comes down from God out of heaven even his true spiritual Church that through faith hope and love lives out of this world and the element thereof in the kingdome of his Dear Sonne be made an eternall Excellencie and the joy of generations and until those who have afflicted it and dominiered over it be made to come humbly bending to it and lick the dust of its feete as the Lord hath promised Then shall the light and teaching of the Spirit in Scriptures which have beene forgotten and stood like a Sparrow upon the house tops desolate and forsaken become the only teaching Then shall the Lords inheritance that lie as dead and dry bones now in the vally live their nerves and bones being by the Lord knit together the spirit shall enter into them and set them upon their feete and they shal be called the valley of vision Then shall all low and carnall apprehensions of God which caused doubts and feares be done away there shall bee no night there nor clouds to hinder the intercourses of Love between God and the soule his servants shall serve him You that are spirituall know that it is also the present Designe of God to pull downe the old heavens wherein the men of the world would ascend up unto God even that old building which men for diverse hundreds of yeares have been in seting up is that hay and stubble which God by the brightnesse of his coming in Spirit is burning up Oh therefore earnestly beg of him that we may shortly see Satan troden under our feet and the Beast with the false Prophet that wrought miracles before him cast alive in the midst of their deceitfull workings into that Lake which burnes with Brimstone for evermore And that we may hear that shout of Triumph in the Spirituall Church Babylon is falne is falne and is now become an habitation of Devills and uncleane Spirits which before was the habitation of hypocrites and false Christians yet painted over with the most specious and glorious pretensions and shews of Religion and holinesse that the deceivablenesse of unrighteousness could trick up the Strumpet withall and that whatsoever hath beene captived into Babylon may be brought back and set upon Mount Sion That the redeemed of the Lord may return and being filled with the Spirit and restored to their primitive state may shine in the perfection of beauty and holinesse Then shall all Saints sing in the unity of the Spirit the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lambe Great and marvellous are thy works Lord God almighty just and true
