A76237	A seasonable warning and word of advice to all papists, but most especially to those of the kingdome of France; for them to turn from their idolatry, and gross superstition, and speedily to repent, and hast to meet the Lord by amendment of life, least he come on them, and smite them unawares ... / Charles Baily.

heart and consider for it is because of sin the Land mourneth and because of sin wrath hath ever come upon the sons of men and think not that ye shall be exempted more then others seeing your abomination exceedeth all the forepast Generations for God spared the old inhabitants of the Land of Canaan no longer then till the measure of their iniquity was filled up And by it do you take warning and turn to the Lord by true repentance least the Angel of his wrath smite you which he is sending forth whose sword is already drawn to smite the inhabitants of the earth Therefore except ye turn to God speedily and bring forth fruits meet for repentance and amendment of life the Sword shall be sheathed in your bowels for God respecteth not the manner nor the person of any man nation or people but all in the particular shall receive according as they have done whether good or evil if they slight the day of their visitation which is freely tendered unto them which is Gods endless mercy and goodness after so long forbearance with them therefore beware least this love be turned to your condemnation by reason of the hardness of your hearts and there be no place found for repentance though with Esau you may seek it with tears for he had a birth-right but he sold it for a mess of pottage a thing of nought so before you is life and death set good and evil chuse you whether one or other I shall be clear of your blood if ye perish who have truly warned you as I was moved of the Lord even to you people of this nation of what sort or degree soever and ye shall one day remember though at present ye may slight it and count it as idle talk yet ye are warned in an acceptable time and in a day of salvation if so be ye accept it And also your observing of dayes and times will not excuse you as I have already said for the Apostle said he was afraid of those which were in those things least he had bestowed labour in vain upon them for his labour was to bring people out of the observation of dayes and times up to him who was before time was who is God over all blessed for evermore And they who are not come hither are in the beggerly Elements and Rudiments which fadeth away for saith Paul Let no man judg you in meats or drinks or new Moons or the Sabbath dayes which things are but shadows of good things to come mark how far the Pope and his Ministers are from this doctrine who commandeth dayes and times to be observed which are neither Types nor Shadows of things to come nor of any thing promised but are their own inventions so that ye are taught for doctrine the Commandments of men and for the peoples Fear towards God is taught the Traditions of men Therefore cease in time from them for wrath is kindled against them and their works who thus lead the people in gross ignorance even to have as many Advocates as there are dayes in the year And your dayes and times ye observe were never commanded of God nor his Servants yea the very day you call the Sabbath is not the day which was commanded the Jewes they being witnesses against you in that thing for it was the seaventh day that was commanded but it is the first day they put you upon to keep and instead of keeping it holy according to the Commandment it is commonly kept the prophanest of all the rest except your other dayes dedicated to dead men and women as the Heathen do to the Sun and Moon for in the ground there is no difference between you in this particular and your keeping these days as you pretend at best is in honour to such such Saints but ye are a shame to Saints and the very name of Christians is evill spoken of through such means for which cause the Lord will assuredly plead with you if ye repent not for the day which all Saints are in is perfect pure holy peace and rest of which the Land of Canaan was a true Type for saith the Apostle He that believeth is entered into rest and hath ceased from his own works as God did from his which Rest is Christ the Saviour of the soul and whosoever comes to enter in will witness my words and out of him there is nothing but grief and vexation of spirit for in me saith Christ ye shall have peace but in the World trouble Peace is the true Rest so where it reigneth in the heart the true rest and Sabbath is known and not until then can an holy day be witnessed Oh come all to the Light which reproveth for sin in the Conscience so will you come to Christ who is the only way and path of peace to all who believe but to the disobedient he is condemnation And this ye shall witness whether ye will hear or forbear for it is the word of the Lord God to you for if your hearts condemn you ye cannot have confidence towards God for God is greater but if your hearts be turned to the Light they come to be purified and then the peace of God which passeth all understanding will reign there so will you come to have confidence towards God as saith the Scripture for if the heart be smitten it is because of transgression and saith my God There is no peace to the wicked but woe and torment shall follow them for ever though they may seek to avoyd it through the cursed delusion of the blind Priests by giving them money for pardons when ye have committed murder or some wicked act and are judged in your selves for by the Light of Christ Jesus in your Consciences are you judged I say to think to get ease ye run to the covetous corrupt wicked men and confess to them giving them money for pardons for sins and money for saying of Masses and the like but know ye assuredly that the Lord God will not pardon you except ye come to confess and forsake your sins ye will never find mercy at the tribunal seat of the righteous Judg of Heaven and Earth neither you nor your Confessors therefore cease from them least you and them perish together which will assuredly come to passe if ye continue in your stubbornness and gainsaying Remember the dreadful end of Dathan Abiram and of Corah who perished in their gainsaying least you come to the same end which is unrecoverable for evermore Let the word ever sink down into your hearts so may you remember the endless time of torments which is prepared for the Devil and his Angels even the man of sin who was a Lyar from the beginning And do but try his Ministers by this and try if they preach not up sin as long as life lasteth and say that man cannot be free therefrom nor put off the body of sin while in this life by which means they strengthen
