A65249	Lamentation over England from a true sight, and suffering sense, of the lamentable wickedness of such rulers, priests, and people, that are erred, and strayed from the way of God, and follow too much the devices and desires of their own hearts, offending against his holy laws ... : whereby all persecutors may (in pity to their souls) truly consider what way they are in, and whether it leads, and whose work they are doing, and what the Scripture saith will be the reward of oppression and cruelty / by M.W.	Watkins, Morgan, fl. 1653-1670.	1664 (1664)	Wing W1066; ESTC R38958	45,267	54

than all their wisdome and so they came to know that in Judgement to their woe which they refused in mercy for their salvation And as it was then so is it now the wisdome of men is received for the Doctrine of salvation and the Doctrine of Gods salvation is accounted foolishnesse and delusion and cast aside as a thing of naught by the wise of this world who account it not worthy to have a room in their hearts nor in the Nation and they that have received in their hearts who believe and obey it they have made laws to banish out of their Native Countrey but the time is coming and very nigh at hand that you shall know in terrible Judgments that your wisdome was but foolishnesse and that which you are labouring to exalt is that which God is appeared to cast aside and destroy and that which you are labouring to destroy and pull down is that which God is risen in spirit in the hearts and souls of his people to set up and now you shall certainly know whose Counsel shall stand and we have told you before but you would not believe the report of the spirit of truth therefore the arm of Gods salvation is not revealed in you which now he is making bare before you and all Nations that you may know you have refused his Counsel and slighted the day of your Visitation and rejected the spirit of truth that would have gathered you and the power that would have preserved you from the hands of all your enemies both within and without which you shall see and know is able to preserve all those that put their trust in it and to deliver them out of the hands of all their enemies so far as it shall make for his glory and the good of our souls And if he shall farther suffer us to be-tried to the laying down of our lives for his Name sake his will be done and let our God glorifie himself with his own which way he pleaseth and if we drink deeper of the cup of suffering it is but the same our Lord hath drunk and the baptisme he hath been baptized with but the dreggs thereof shall his and our enemies drink for ever For saith he that lifts up his hand to heaven and lives for ever If I whet my glittering sword and my hand take bold on Judgment I will render vengeance to my enemies and will reward them that hate me I will make my arrows drunk with bloud and my sword shall devoure flesh and that with the bloud of the slain and of the Captives from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy Rejoyce O ye Nations with his people for he will avenge the blood of his servants and will render vengeance to his adversaries mark and will be merciful unto his land and to his people therefore blessed blessed of the Lord are you his people that suffer for his name sake rejoyce and be exceeding glad Deut. 32.41 42 43. If ye be reproached for the name of Christ happy are ye for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you on their part he is evil spoken of but on your part he is glorified 1 Pet. 4.14 And are we called to glorifie our God then let him have the glory due to his great and glorious name for this is a high and glorious honourable calling above all the glories of the world above the glory of Kings Princes and Emperours this is the glory wherewith the Son glorifies the Father and the Father glorifies his again for he hath given them his word and the world hath hated them because they are not of the world but are sanctified through the belief of the truth which the world hates John 17.14 And how did the Son glorifie the Father Was it not in doing his will and bearing witnesse to his truth And every one that is of the truth heareth his voice and because we hear his voice and do his will in bearing witnesse to the truth therefore are 〈◊〉 hated persecuted and spoyled by those that are not of the truth for he that had the Languages was not of the truth but said What is truth Mark that for the Languages gives not the knowledg of the truth but truth was that which he that had the Languages gave sentance against And so it is now in all those that believe not in the true light that shines in their hearts which gives the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ All that are in the truth are in that which was before the many Languages were which began at Babel and without coming to the truth there must end but being sanctified by the truth serves the truth in its place to manifest the confusion of Babel that is in the curse taking counsel and not of the Lord and making themselves a name in the earth these were scattered over the face of the earth But the gathering out of the Confusion and the Curse is in the Name of the Lord that confounds the Wisdome and Counsell from beneath that is earthly sensual and devilish and the Language is in the Confusion cannot lead into the true knowledg of God and the unity in his Spirit but the word that was in the beginning leads up to the Father out of the earth where man was driven out of the Curse out of the Tongues and Languages in the Confusion where man was scattered out of the wisdome from beneath and selfish counsel of his own heart out of the names in the fall and alienation into the Name which is the power and life of the Son of God that only knows the Father and reveals him Mat. 11.27 and not Tongues and Languages but the spirit and life of Jesus that the Father hath sent into the world to do his will and where he is received he is the Covenant of light and promise of the father to the Gentiles to them that receive him by believing in his light he is elect and precious 1 Pet. 2.7 but unto them which be disobedient that is which believe not the stone which the builders disalowed the same is made the head of the corner and a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence against which many have split themselves who were once high and mighty in the earth by disalowing him that made Heaven Earth to rule and reign in the Consciences of his people whom he calls out of darknesse into his marvellous Light Who are a Chosen Royall Priesthood peculiar to the Lord that he should act them by his spirit to shew forth the praises due unto his great and glorious Name And why should men be so unreasonable as to disalow the Lord of life that hath quickened our souls to live in them and rule in them and do his Fathers will which way or how he pleaseth seeing we are not our own to do our own will but are bought with a price to do the will of him that

power that is risen and arising to shake terribly the earth and bring every hidden thing to the light to be tryed and that which cannot stand in the Light shall be cast into the lake of fire which is the second death Now again consider with your selves you that say the Quakers as you call them are in error and delusion and persecute them as hereticks was not that alwayes the saying of persecutors see the testimony of the Scriptures was it not alwayes so said by them that were born after the flesh whose wills they have made a law and so were never without a law to kill the just and if that they had be not bad enough then the old envious nature can make another that shall be which law did ever uphold the unjust and please the false Prophets and hirelings because they would not have their deeds brought to the light and themselves made manifest to be in darknesse but after all your cruelty and persecution against us what case will you be in when the Lord doth appear for us openly and vindicate our innocent cause by his just Judgments upon all our enemies in making them examples of his wrath to all generations that the people that are afar off may hear and dread and fear to resist his mighty power that is risen and arising to shake all Nations and shall bring down the haughtinesse and the lostinesse of man and stain the glory of all flesh and bring all the honourable of the earth into contempt that the honourable immortal heavenly seed of life may be exalted over all and the kingdomes of the world become the kingdomes of the Lord and of his Christ whose right it is to reign and rule over all blessed for ever Wo unto you Rulers in darknesse Magistrates in Sodom and Governours in Gomorrah for the terrible day that is overtaking you and you would not be warned how oft hath the Lord sent unto you by his messengers and ministers of truth both by speaking and writing that you might be gathered out of that spirit which leads to destruction but you have set at naught all his counsel and would none of his reproof therefore shall you eat the fruit of your own way and be filled with your cruel devices for your life in pleasure shall slay you and your prosperity in foolishnesse shall destroy you because ye have hated the knowledge of the truth and would not choose the fear of the Lord therefore shall fear come upon you in Judgment and destruction as a whirlwind then will your wickedness and cruelty against the servants of the Lord be set in order before you who have required them evil for good and for their labour and pains to bring you into the glorious liberty you have put them into prison oh this will be heavy upon you when their bloud comes to be required at your hands who should have employed your power to have encouraged them in the service of the Lord which is the well doing and so should you have had praise of God and all just men and your memorial would have been sweet in generations to come but on the contrary your memorial will rot and your name be blotted out from under heaven but the memorial of the just whom you persecute shall flourish for ever Wo wo be unto you spiritual Lords so called that decree unrighteous decrees to bear rule over the consciences of the people and Lord it over Gods heritage who labour to devour the flock of Christ and lay waste his little remnant that he hath gathered to bear testimony to his great and glorious name that he is exalting over all Nations and because you have combined against him and the great and glorious work he hath begun in this Nation his power is turned against you and shall pursue you in all your wayes and defeat you in all your devises till he hath left you neither root nor branch and your name shall be cast out as an abominable thing and an abhorring to all people for you have exceeded the blasphemy of those who said they were Jews and were not in calling your selves Fathers in God and yet never came to witnesse the spiritual birth of the children of God who are come to know their sins forgiven them for his name sake into which they are gathered where the Father comes to be known by the revelation of the son that is life eternal and hereby we do know that we know him if we keep his Commandments 1 Joh. 2.3 this was and is the saying of the children of God which you Fathers in God as you are called never came to witnesse to wit the keeping of the Commandements of Christ and therefore you that do believe his Commands cannot be kept while you live on the earth in that unbelief you are shut out and there can never come to know him and he that is there and saith he knows him is a lyar 1 John 3.10 In this the children of God are manifest and the children of the Devil whosoever doth not righteousnesse is not of God neither he that loveth not his brother In this the Fathers and Children that are persecutors for conscience sake towards God are manifested to be of their father the Devil and neither children nor fathers in God For the name Father in God came from such as were in that nature who were first children of God that had known the Father and then young men that had overcome the wicked one then fathers because they have known him that is from the beginning 1 John 2. 13 14. and in the power of God that was in the beginning that doth overcome did beget unto God and so were properly and truly called Fathers in God and such I own and honour in my very soul who are honourable in the house of God and as they ruled well were worthy of double honour from all the children of truth in the Fathers house but had nothing to do with those that were without that were not of the houshold of faith for the Devil bare rule there in the children of disobedience and saith Paul them that are without God judgeth for what have I to do to judge them also that are without 1 Cor. 5.12 13. The Bishops and Fathers in God did rule only among the children of God who were the Church in God and they that abode in Christ were his Members 1 John 2.6 And he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked who said I receive not honour from men that is such who will not come unto him cannot honour him but in the unbelief dishonour him but he that believer possesseth his vessel in sanctification and honour that is to him that sanctifieth but the Fathers in God and Bishops of Christ never took upon them the vain glorious honours of the wicked world nor were called masters or Lords but were hated of the world as their Lord and Master was and so

I cannot believe this record saith the blind guide and his followers then saith Christ for if ye believe not that I am be what he the true light ye shall dye in your sins then saith Jesus again unto them I go my way and ye shall seek me and shall dye in your sins whither I go ye cannot come Mark that ye despisers and haters of the light ye despise and hate Christ and ye that will not follow him the light here in this world shall not follow him hereafter into the glory of the world to come but shall dye in your sin and perish eternally Consider this ye despisers of truth there is but a breath betwixt you and eternal destruction ye haters of the light the eternal word by which you breath move and have a being who plead for sin and the deeds of darkness to live in them for tearm of life read your portion that live and die in sin and consider what he hath said that cannot lye if you will not live the life of the righteous being manifested unto you in the day of visitation you cannot dye the death of the righteous nor shall your last end be like unto his because he hath called and you refused he hath stretched out his hand of mercy and you will not regard ye have set at naught all his counsel by his messengers he hath sent unto you and would none of his reproof by his light in your consciences the spirit of truth that he hath sent to reprove the world of sin therefore saith he that cannot lye I will laugh at your calamity I will mock when your fear cometh and when distress and anguish cometh upon you then shall you call but I will not answer you shall seek him early but shall not find him Pro. 1.24 25 26 27. therefore because the spirit of truth hath said it you that are in that capacity cannot dye the death of the righteous who shall in Gods peace that he hath laboured after with all men lye down and in his everlasting habitation dwell safely and shall be quiet from fear of evil for the upright shall dwell in the land that the envy of Cains spirit shall not nor cannot banish them out of and the perfect shall remain in it These be a people whose life the blind guides could never yet see in all ages because they dwelt not in their land which is the land of darkness where Cain said he should be hid from the face of God therefore all his generation loves this land of darkness naturally to this day it being the land of their nativity where their fathers City is built out from the presence of the Lord and the blessing of the light of his countenance in that land of the valley of the shadow of death where the sitting down is in darknesse and the Prince of the power of darknesse bears rule there teaching his children and subjects to plead for his kingdome of liberty in the flesh which natural desires and lusts of the flesh being brought forth is the life after the flesh that cannot please God the old mans life in the curse in whom the seed of the serpent the subtilest beast is head and makes war in the old enmity against the seed of the woman of which is the spiritual or the birth after the spirit that the birth after the flesh persecutes and hates as Cain did who was of that wicked one and slew his brother and wherefore slew he him because his own works were evil and his brothers righteous 1 John 3.12 therefore it is no marvel that the children of light are hated of the world that lyeth in wickednesse and pleads for it and hates the light and pleads against it for he that hateth the light abides in darknesse and loveth not his brother and it s written whosoever hateth his brother is a murtherer and ye know that no murtherer hath eternal life abiding in him and where eternal life is not abiding there is Cains nature dwelling and from that nature ariseth the persecutor that doth not well in doing the things he ought not to do and so fin lyeth at his door And woe unto the wicked it shall be ill with him saith the spirit of the Lord for the reward of his hands shall he given him Isaiah 3.11 For the wicked shall be cut off from the earth and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it Proverbs 2.22 Therefore let all that have yet a day prize it and make your calling and election sure in this the day of Gods love and tender visitation to your souls and think not to say in your hearts did not the thief upon the Crosse dye the death of the righteous yes and did he not live the life of the righteous yes he lived by faith though it might be but the last hour he being then called at the last hour to believe in Christ the light of the world he followed him by faith in him and bore a glorious testimony for him when most of his Disciples had forsook him and the blind guides laugh'd him to scorn and wagged their heads at him then he who was faithful reproved his fellow that was as blind as his guides and chief priests so the priests and the thief and the elders were all in one spirit of envy mocking and despising the truth and chose the murtherer and the thief of which spirit they were of before the truth the son of God which spirit he that believed did rebuke and that was a good work in that hour when few durst own him but yet more then all this he confessed him to be a king and that a heavenly one too before the face of his enemies and before the whole world justified the righteous son of God and said he had done nothing amisse which proved his enemies the chief priests murtherers and in such a time when he was in his lowest estate when he said My God my God why hast thou for saken me then did he honour him by his faith which preached God had not forsaken him but had given him an everlasting kingdome and did not doubt but he was able to bring his soul that believed into his kingdome therefore said Lord remember me when thou comest into thy kingdome and so received him before the face of the world as a faithful witnesse to the death who entred into the glorious paradice of God that his precious faith had fitted him for in that short time And if in so short a time faith in the power of God can bring forth such a glorious work what wretched wicked miserable unbelieving sinners are they who say they be in Christ the son of God yet do not expect to be saved from their sin and set free from their iniquity all the dayes of their life these make but a bad confession of the work of faith which is not to the glory of God the Father that hath sent his son to take away the
