Oh souldiers can you stand against the sword of the Lord that great shield can you pierce the Breastplate that is from on high Oh the Saints are able to fight with you not with material weapons but with the sword of faith and the Spirit oh where is the sword of Goliab that can come and fight against that oh poor Souldiers the Lord hath sent his servant to tell you of your wickedness and to tell you what hath been done in Scotland Ireland and elsewhere if you keep not Chronicles others do the Lord hath written them down and he will bring them forth Thou hast a controversie with all languages and they only that have the language of Canaan shall be taken into thy Canaan and shall have the honey drops there They cannot believe such great things are coming out as the raign of Jesus Christ that thou art staining the pride of all Glory and that thou wilt have no more Monarchies till the Monarchy of Christ come forth it is because they are so much seeking one from another they are so taken up and wrapt up in their own mantles that they have no eyes to look up for Elias his Mantle They have the spirit of Man and the courage of Man but what is all that courage says Elihu I have seen that for all that Ages should teach wisdom and Years give understanding yet you could not bring forth an answer in wisdom to the condition of Iob so I waited for others and was afraid my self to speak untill the Spirit came upon me then I was carried forth to speak beyond my own courage Oh thy Spirit is above the spirit of man thy Spirit informs and teacheth and brings forth new things and declares old things thy Spirit brings forth what the ways of men are it doth declare the great overturnings and disappointments that men shall meet with when thou openest who can shut it is not all their jealousies and surmisings concerning designings and this and the other thing it is not all these things that can stop the pipes of Christ that are golden can you hinder the oyl that runs so sweet Blessed be thy Name for that glorious Priviledge that thine have they are made partakers of thine Annointing and he calls them fellows oh they are poor Mortals that he should call them fellows oh some poor creatures call themselves Christ because of this oneness with Christ they will have no distinguishing thou wilt make them to know that there is a difference between Head and Members there is a wicked Generation that are risen up about this place that do say so that do pretend many spiritual things who are enemies to Jesus others come out more openly others more secretly how are they ready to joyn their evil spirit with the Spirit of the Lord Jesus thy Servant sometimes contended against them neer this place and now she is come to bear a greater testimony against them when thy sweet wine comes forth and thy Spirit is poured out then they being in their false wine oh but it shall never enter into thy treasury where thine are they say they speaking of some rude spirits which came to hear her are one spirit with thy servant but thy servant abhors it through the Spirit of that crucified Jesus This that thou hast now done upon thy servant they will not understand that it is an intimation to them of the pouring out of thy Spirit upon thine own wherein they shall go forth against the world thy servant was one that was simple an Ideot and did not study in such things as these and must thy servant now float upon the mighty and broad waters meaning of the Spirit thou saidst indeed that thy servant should declare in Gath and publish in Askelon They will say the spirit of madness and distraction is upon her and that it is immodesty but thou knowest Lord that it is thy Spirit for thou hast cast thy servant where she would not and hast taken her contrary to all her thoughts surely thou shalt be glorified and advanced by it it is the Lord that comes and enlarges and fils with his Spirit and lays his foundation with precious stones and sparkling colours thy servant would not have any take it in without tryal let them try whether it is from thy Spirit or from what it is Oh thy servant knows it is from thy Spirit let them know that it is so too by the language of it by the Rule through which it comes how is the written Word carried forth in it thy Spirit takes the Scripture all along and sets the soul a swimming therein oh those things that are concealed are made manifest when thy Spirit comes forth oh that they might know what is the true sountain and what is pudled water wilt thou dip them Father in the spiritual Baptism this Baptism of Fire cleanseth Zeal is another thing then a passionate humour where true Zeal is there the flame of the Lord is there is much in nature that may deceive A fine curious nature may seem to be Grace which is not an amiable carriage and good words these are all nature Tell the sons of Issachar that go forth to the work of the Lord what qualifications what manner of conversations should be in them and in the World sutable to such a day as this this is a day wherein thou callest up thine to glorifie thee in the fires or that the names Courtier and King should never come up again and though there be now a finer name yet there is the same thing the same superfluity and vanity as was among the Kings of old they come forth in sheeps clothing you Councel you think you have done well in this but surely the passing-Bell shall ring for you this is the saddest day that ever poor England had formerly their Children had their black patches and naked necks and powdered locks and so it is now Kings must then sit alone and so they do now What David thou whom I have raised up from the lowest of men from the dust wilt thou do this these are crying things that are come up in thine ears oh Lord how can they be fit to Rule and Judge a Nation to reprove sin in a Nation when they cannot Rule and Judge and reprove their own Families they that will not hear of their sins they shall feel of the smart thereof That is the sins they are galled within their Conscience but it was not so with David For when Nathan told him of his sin he struck upon his brest and mourned Though the name of Gideon was upon him speaking of the Supream Magistrate in the field yet now it is taken off from him thou shalt no more be called Valiant because thou canst not be contented with the name of thy righteous ones therefore thy name shall not be long As to the name General thou hast Lord been with him and hast shewed him thy presence But in thy other name
