see Verse 11. Luke 20.46 47. Beware of the Scribes which desire to walk in long Robes and love greetings in the Markets and the highest Seats in the Sinagogues and the chief Rooms at Feasts which devour Widows Houses and for a shew make long prayers the same shall receive greater damnation 2 Pet. 2.14 15. Having eyes full of adultery and thaâ— cannot cease from â—in beguiling unstable Souls an heart they have exercisâ—d with covetous practices cursed children who have forsaken the right way and are gone astray following the way of Balaam the son of Bezor who loved the wages of unrighteousness Jude verse 11. Wo unto them for they have gone in the way of Cain and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward and perished in the gainsaying of Corah read to the end but must this trade alwayes hold in Babylon See Rev. 18.11 And the Merchants of the Earth shall weep and morn over her for no man buyeth her Merchandize any more verse 14. And the Fruits that thy Soul lusted after are departed from thee and all things that were dainty and goodly as the Wheat-Sheaf and tythe Calves and Lambs and Pigs and Ducks and Geese and Chickens and Eggs as also Glebe-Lands Midsummer-dues Easter-reckonings Garden and Smoke pence and such like are departed from thee and thou shalt find them no more at all Verse 15 and 16. The Merchants of these things which were made rich shall weep and waâ—l saying Alas alas that great City that was clothed in fine Linnen and great Sleev'd Surplices and Purple and Scarlet and decked with Gold and Precious Stones and Pearls â— Verse 17. For in one hour so great riches is come to nought And every ship-master and all the company of Balaam's tribe in Ships and Sailers like poor Journey-men Priests and as many as â—rade by Sea stood afar off Verse 19. and they cast dust upon their heads c. Do not they already begin â—o throw dust and bring dirt upon their own heads that sees their City and Building is going down and cryes against the Spoylers of Babylon and say You had been better to have lain drunk under a hedg that while oh you had better have been committing Adultry with a lewd woman that while oh rather then go from this City to Quakers Meetings go to a Bawdy-house and rather then drink in the doctrine of Perfection from the Quakers drink a cup of Poyson surely as Iude saith Verse 13. These are raging waves of the Sea foaming out their own shame There is many places more that might be collected for you but let me see these fairly from you interpreted and as I like your work you may have more hereafter and forget not to answer my two Queries which are to you as followeth Query I. What one particular Practice in matter of divine Worship of God either of Christ Iesus or any of his holy Prophets or Apostles do you walk in in truth and in reallity as they did according to the testimony left unto us in the holy Scriptures from the beginning to the end Do not starâ—e at the Query but answer it fairly seeing you say the Scripture is your Rule Query II. What one particular practice is there mentioned in all the holy Scripture by Christ himself his Prophets or Apostles whereby we might know a false Prophet false Priests or false Apostles and Deceivers which were in time pastâ— or were to come in the latter times but you are really walking in it and manifest by it according to the testimonies left upon record by the holy men of God through ages as the Scriptures witness from the beginning to the end And if you do not answer to clear your selves these Queries shall stand upon your heads to your shame C. H. Here is also annexed a seasonable Exhortation for the Inhabitants of Polesworth and neighbouring Towns thereabouts Also a Coppy of a Letter formerly sent to the persecuting Bishop from Warwick Goal where I am a Prisoner for the Word of God in standing a faithful Witness unto him in his Truth and Righteousness against such as hold the Truth in unrighteousness The first of the 6th Moneth 1669. William Harris the younger HE that readeth let him understand read in the fear of the Lord in whom is true wisdom and then thou wilt not read to fill the outward ear but turn in to the Witness of God in thy Conscience and keep the eye of thy mind single to that which is pure of God by which thou mayst come to a right understanding for what is to be known of God is made manifest in us and God hath shewed it unto us who hath given Christ Jesus the Son of his love a Light into the World the world is placed in mans heart now as every one turns in the eye of their understanding unto Christ the Son of God's Love who is Love Truth Righteousness Light Life Wisdom and is our all and in all So look not without at outward observations for the Kingdom of Heaven as the professing Jews did for the Kingdom of Heaven is within therefore was that Parable of the woman that had lost a Groat and she looked without and could not find it but when she turned home she lighted her Candel and swept her own house and there she found it So every one that hungreth and thirsteth after Righteousness and desires their souls eternal Peace and Salvation return home and look not without but turn in to the Witness of God Christ the true Light and in the love of God Christ the Light Spirit of Truth light thy Candle and sweep thy own house of all that which is earthly and corrupt so wilt thou come to find the Pearl which is of great price which a Merchant-man had hid in his field and he digged deep and found it and when he had found it he went and sold all to purchase it but the Kingdom of Heaven cannot be purchased with Silver or Gold or any corruptible thing therefore read in the Spirit the mysteries of God's Kingdom There was a rich man came to Christ and spake of many things he had done and kept from a youth and said What lack I yet Christ said unto him Go sell all that thou hast and give unto the poor but he went away very sorrowful for he had great Possessions Now if any have possessed their minds with the love of this World and with the earthly delights that are therein if they will not lose their life in those things they cannot live to God for people cannot be heirs of two Kingdoms they must forsake all for Christ in whom is the Blessing Blessed are the poor in Spirit for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven and whosoever will not forsake all for Christ is not worthy of him Blessed is every one that believes in God and in Jesus Christ his only Son in whom is the Election in the acknowledging of the Truth which is according unto godliness unto the

Salvation with fear and trembling and hath known the Living Faith that works by love to have purified his heart from dead works to serve the Living God in newness of Life and therein hath stood a living Witness for God and hath abode faithfull to the end to such it will be said Come ye blessed of â—y Heavenly Father enter into the jâ—y of â—he Lord but unto such as have been unfaithfull and have not known the bridle to the Tongue nor have not through the Spirit mortified the deeds of the Flesh and so never come to witness Redemption by Christ Jesus but hath hid their Talent in their earthly hearts such may cry Lord Lord and bring their Talent or Giâ—t and give it to the Lord as the unprofitable Servant did as is mentioned in the Parable but mark the answer though they cried Lord Lord and brought him his own righteousness which they had hid in their earthly hearts but never joyned their hearts which the Lord required the heart above all things but it is a manifest token that such served themselves and not the Lord who never improved his Talent mark what was the Sentence of such Depart from me ye Workers of Iniquity into everlasting punishment prepared for the Devil and his Angels Thus in true love unto thy Soul in the fear of the Lord I warn thee before Night comes when no man can work and also I would have thee consider of thy late proceedings against me who am an innocent man first I not knowing of thy being at Polesworth until I saw thee in the Synagogue unto which place I was sent by the Spirit of the Living God to warn all people to repent of their sins and to return unto the Lord and saying God accepted not the Sacrifices of Sinners neither is he worshipped in Temples made with hands but according to the Scriptures of Truth declared how that he is a Spirit and is worshipped in the Spirit and in the Truth and therefore I warned all to repent and to forsake their sins and to return to the Lord for there is mercy with him and this was but according to the Spirit of Truth and the Apostles Doctrine That if any thing was revealed unto him which stands by let the first hold his peace but herein thou manifested thy self not to be in the Apostles Doctrine who called for Officers to hale me out of the Synagogue but of those which cannot abide sound Doctrine also thou art one of those which Christ foretold of saying They shall hale you out of their Synagogues and they shall excommunicate you examine thy self whether thou hast not been acting in this work of late contrary to the Doctrine of Christ who when he taught his Disciples to pray said Pray on thâ—s wise Our Father which art in Heaven hallowed be thy Name thy Kingdom come thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven and forgive us our debts or trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us but herein thou hast manifested thy self not to keep Christs Commanâ—s now if the Lord shou'd forgive thee according to thy works who hath cast a man in Prison for speaking the Truth and hath done thee no wrong or oweth thee any thing or any man but love And again when Peter said unto Christ How oft shall my Brother sin against me and I forgive him unto seven times Iesus said â—nto him I say not to thee unto seven times but unto seventy seven times Matth. 18.22 and so read on to the end of the Chapter of the Parable of the Debtor of that hard-hearted man that would not forgive his Brother that had trespassed against him mark the severity of the Lordâ— So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do unto you except ye fromâ— your hearts forgive each one to his Brother their trespasses Verse the last But I have not sinned or trespassed against thee yet thou hast cast me into Prison only for keeping Christ's Commands therefore greater will be thy condemnation except thou repent and return to the Lord before it be too late when there is no place of repentance to be found And whereas it is reported we deny the Scriptures and are unlearned and unmannerly because we speak the Truth as thee or thou thy or thine to a single person read from Genesis to the Revâ—lation and see where it is you or your to a single person but they are unlearned that have not learned Christ and follows not his Doctrine but Teacheth for Doctrine the commandments of men Mark 7.7 and such are unmannerly that speak not Truth but â—uns on according to their own hearts lust not knowing a bridle to their tongue and are from the pure fear of the Lord in their hearts which keeps clean but runs on in the broad way into evil communication that is it which corrupts good manners And much more might be spoken according to the Scripâ—ures of Truth which we own and practice according to the Spirit of Truth from whence they werâ— given â—orth and therefore I desire that all people may read them profess them and possess them that they may live the life of them for which end they were given forth fâ—â—ely and not to be made a trade of Again read the Scriptures and see who it was all along that perâ—ecuted about Religion Pharaoh the hard-hearted one Ishmaâ—l a Mocker Cain a Man-slayer the envious one Herod the Adulterer that cut off Iohn Baptists head and slew the innocent Children aiming at Christ whom the Scribes and Pharisees Elders â—nd the high and chief Priest fulfilled with many that followed after him to wit Christ Again read the Scriptures and see where the Prophets Christ or his Apostles or aâ—y of the holy men of God persecuted about Religion but Christ said When ye are persecuted in one City flee to another or when they were â—ocked reproached reviled and shaâ—efully intreated or buffetted and smitten on the â—ne Cheek turn the â—ther also read Iames 2.20 27. So Christ's Commands are contrary to thine which is to do good against evil and not to render evil for evil but bless and curse not and pray for them that dispitefully use you for God is Love Therefore examine thy self and see whether of these footstepâ— thou treadest in who sent thy Servants with a Writ of Excommunication who came unto me to the Plough and violently haled me away and one of them came with a Lye in his Moâ—th saying He was come to cite me again to the Court but it was to take me to Prison unto which I never resisted but went freely to sufâ—er for the Name of Christ for he hath not only called a people to believe in his Name but also to suffer read the Epistle of Iude. And so Christ's Prophesie is fulfilled in this day who said They shall Excommunicate you and cast you out of their Synagogues yea if they kill you they shall think thâ—y do God Service And the other as I was going with them about â— Lands-length from the Teem pulled out â— Pistol threatning if I offered to resist them to slay me Read Tâ—â—â—â— 1.7 to thâ— last Verse And so the Teem was conâ—trained as I heard since to return with the Seed home again Are these the Fruits of Christ who said his Kingdom was not of this World therefore his Servants would not fight And art thou a Bishop like unto Timothy that was blameless O consider of these things before it be too late and lay them truly to heart for the good of thy Soul and do not dispise me because of my Youth but forsake that persecuting spirit of Saul that thou may'st become a preaching Paul But if thou perish I am clear of thy Blood W. H. Warwick the 3 d Moneth 1669. THE END 1 Tim. 5.20 Them that sin to rebuke openly that the rest may also fear Rom. 12.14 Bless them that pâ—rsecute you bless I say and curse nâ—t

THE VVOOLF UNDER Sheeps-Clothing DISCOVERED OR The Spirit of Cain appearing in the Bishop of Liechfield Reproved As hereafter is sufficiently manifested by the Fruits of his Sermon at Polesworth in Warwickshire Published for the benefit of the people in those Parts by a lover of their Immortal Souls Charles Harris For I know this that after my departure shall grievous Wolves enter in among you not sparing the Flock Acts 20. 29. Printed in the Year 1669. The Woolf under Sheeps-Clothing discovered c. IN or near the seventh moneth 1668. the Bishop of Liechfield came to preach upon a first Day at Polesworth whether many people resorted to see and hear who for his Text clothed himself with the words of the Psalmist David to the fourth verse of the first Psalm And after he had paâ—ched up his Matter and came to his last point it was to conclude all men sinners and that the best of men cannot be perfect which I know would be very sweet doctrine to many Drunkards and such as love their Pride and Pleasures there abouts But there being by the appointment of God a young man in the place whose Soul loved Righteousness and being grieved to hear such sin-pleasing or licence to ungodliness the Word of the Lord was as a fire in his Brest by which he cryed God accepts not of the Sacrifice of sinners therefore I warn all in the Name and fear of the Lord to repent repent and to return unto the Lord while they have timeâ— neither is he worshipped in Temples made with hands for he is a Spirit and is worshipped in the Spirit and in Truth therefore I warn all again to repent and return unto the Lord for it is their sin that makes the only separation between God and man but he that repents and forsakes and returns to the Lord there is Mercy with him When he had thus spoken the Bishop Ieroboam like cryed for some to lay hands on him and would not reason out the matter but soon gets his way and left the people in a confused noise and had all the rest been as envious as the Bishop it s much if the man had not been spoiled but many of the people knowing him to be an honest man it pleased the Lord to work for his preservation and at that time had liberty out of all their hands but as Soloman saith anger resteth in the bosome of Fooles for afterwards the Bishop sent to warn him to his court so the young man went according to time and place and desired seeing the Bishop would not stay at the Steeple-houseâ— that now he would appear to maintain in his own court that which he had delivered or to own his shame but he would not appear nor bring him upon tryal so the man returned home But the Woolf divised another way giving order to the Priest of the place to excommunicate him which the Priest said he would do and then said he If any one run him through with a Sword and kill him there is no Law against them You that have an understanding judge what Spirit rules this man he also told the young man that he had better have broke the commands of God and committed Adultry with any lewd woman or to have layn drunk under a Hedge that while meaning that time whilst he cryed against sin and called to repentance Oh Neighbours and People was ever the like heard surely that Prophesie is now to be fulfiled their Folly shall be manifest to all men and they shall not proceed much further it 's like this Priest is brother to Priest Vincent of London who said It s better to go to a Bawdy-house then to go to Quakers Meetings surely the Merchants of Babylon are casting duâ—t upon their own heads because the Day is dawned that people will buy their wares no more The same Priest at another time told me I deserved to be whipt at a Cart-tayl and if he was in power to make Laws and had the rule he would have all such as I to be hanged because I opposed him about Sprinkling of Children and called for Scripture-proof Is it not high time to post up the fruits of such Bishops and Priests as these Oh the very Nation stinks of them they are a shame to the name of Christianity And furthermore this Bishop proceeded against his opposer until by a private way he sent a writ and fetched the man out of the field not suffering him to go speak with his tender Parents and Relations or get his cloaths but one pulled out a Pistol and said If he offered to stur from them he would shoot him though he never resisted so they took him to Warwick Goal 20 Miles from his Father's house and there hath been kept as a close Prisoner ever since and if this Bishop hath not appeared more like a Woolf then a Sheep of Christ let all true Christians judg and hath not the spirit of Cain plainly appeared in him for mark Cain was the evil doer and the sin was laid at his door and because of sin his Sacrifice was not accepted but Abel's righteous Sacrifice did witness against Cain and then Cain like this Bishop was full of wrath to destroy his Brother So let all people see whose rule the Bishops and Priests walk by Cain's rule for Persecution Balaam's rule for Reward Corah's rule for gainsaying the Truth Now let us try the Bishop by his own Text Psalm the first Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly yet at the same time manifests whose counsel he takes such as Ieroboam and wicked Ahab and Herod but not the counsel of Christ who bids Love Enemies and overcome evil with good but it was no evil work to bid sinners to repent and turn to God again as to his Text nor standeth in the way of sinners but delighteth in the Law of God And yet at the same time himself not only standing in the way of sin but pleading for a continuance in it term of life surely boys and girls may see this mans confusion Now that which fulfils the royal Laws is to do as one would be done by but who believes the Bishop would be served as he hath done Verse 3. He shall be like a Tree planted by the rivers of water that brings forth fruit in due season well Every Tree is known by its fruit but we see this old Thorn-like-man doth not bring forth sweet Grapes but untimely fruit by which its manifest his root is not watered by a River of Life and Love but by the foul black puddles of Egypt such as Pharaoh's hard heart and root was watered by which made him grow up in rebellion against God and reject the counsel of his servants and strive to bring and keep the righteous People in bondage let all people consider this the close of the Text The ungodly are like the Chaff which the wind driveth away well it is sin that makes
