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

such_o be_v now_o that_o the_o scripture_n may_v be_v fulfil_v for_o such_o be_v not_o of_o the_o world_n but_o of_o god_n for_o say_v they_o the_o whole_a world_n lie_v in_o wickedness_n and_o they_o be_v with_o sound_a doctrine_n and_o a_o holy_a conversation_n to_o beget_v unto_o god_n out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o if_o you_o who_o be_v call_v lord_n spiritual_a do_v exercise_v your_o authority_n over_o none_o but_o they_o that_o you_o have_v beget_v to_o god_n out_o of_o the_o world_n you_o will_v have_v but_o a_o very_a small_a flock_n if_o any_o at_o all_o but_o instead_o of_o gather_v a_o flock_n out_o of_o the_o world_n you_o take_v the_o world_n for_o your_o flock_n and_o so_o exercise_v lordship_n over_o they_o as_o christ_n say_v luke_n 22.25_o the_o king_n of_o the_o gentile_n exercise_v lordship_n over_o they_o the_o example_n of_o those_o you_o follow_v and_o not_o christ_n for_o there_o be_v many_o thousand_o by_o the_o year_n to_o be_v get_v by_o they_o and_o so_o rule_v by_o your_o outward_a power_n and_o lordlinesse_n like_o the_o false_a prophet_n of_o old_a and_o many_o of_o the_o world_n love_v to_o have_v it_o so_o and_o so_o let_v they_o have_v it_o but_o the_o flock_n of_o christ_n the_o church_n in_o god_n can_v own_v these_o thing_n nor_o love_n to_o have_v it_o so_o but_o must_v stand_v witness_n against_o these_o thing_n even_o to_o the_o death_n if_o the_o lord_n require_v they_o and_o therein_o you_o come_v to_o be_v try_v and_o make_v manifest_v what_o nature_n you_o be_v of_o and_o also_o their_o faith_n and_o patience_n be_v make_v manifest_a and_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o lamb_n show_v forth_o that_o overcome_v but_o the_o contrary_a nature_n as_o i_o have_v say_v be_v to_o be_v overcome_v that_o which_o persecute_v and_o imprison_v and_o will_v force_v the_o conscience_n and_o so_o slay_v the_o soul_n or_o else_o kill_v the_o body_n this_o be_v ever_o of_o the_o devil_n and_o so_o it_o be_v now_o and_o a_o mark_n of_o antichrist_n the_o false_a church_n the_o whore_n that_o be_v adulterate_v from_o the_o spirit_n and_o alienate_v from_o the_o lamb_n nature_n that_o overcome_v in_o patience_n and_o obtain_v the_o victory_n and_o be_v make_v perfect_a through_o suffer_v but_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o whore_n the_o false_a church_n be_v say_v to_o drink_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o the_o scripture_n bear_v testimony_n that_o all_o the_o blood_n be_v sound_a in_o babylon_n than_o zion_n be_v clear_a of_o blood_n mark_v that_o and_o the_o name_n babylon_n come_v thus_o to_o be_v write_v in_o the_o forehead_n of_o every_o persecutor_n who_o be_v of_o cain_n stock_n that_o slay_v his_o brother_n because_o his_o worship_n be_v in_o truth_n but_o he_o in_o the_o murder_a nature_n mark_v he_o that_o be_v slay_v be_v in_o the_o truth_n from_o the_o beginning_n and_o he_o that_o slay_v be_v in_o the_o deceit_n and_o so_o we_o see_v it_o have_v be_v all_o along_o unto_o this_o very_a day_n and_o that_o nature_n which_o slay_v our_o lord_n christ_n when_o he_o be_v upon_o the_o earth_n be_v the_o same_o that_o now_o persecute_v and_o slay_v his_o disciple_n and_o follower_n because_o they_o be_v redeem_v from_o the_o earth_n and_o can_v submit_v to_o their_o vain_a tradition_n custom_n and_o fashion_n and_o command_n that_o be_v contrary_a to_o god_n therefore_o be_v sufferer_n by_o the_o world_n but_o the_o son_n of_o zion_n be_v such_o who_o be_v redeem_v with_o judgement_n and_o that_o nature_n which_o be_v at_o enmity_n to_o god_n be_v condemn_v be_v crucify_v

be_v that_o they_o may_v be_v overcome_v and_o how_o can_v you_o expect_v that_o we_o shall_v submit_v to_o that_o in_o other_o

world_n that_o both_o priest_n and_o people_n live_v in_o with_o the_o filthy_a unclean_a lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n that_o they_o may_v keep_v god_n holy_a will_n and_o commandment_n that_o the_o

as_o you_o say_v and_o be_v possible_a to_o be_v do_v by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n as_o i_o say_v then_o let_v the_o priest_n bring_v forth_o one_o out_o of_o all_o the_o parish_n in_o england_n that_o they_o by_o their_o ministry_n have_v teach_v and_o bring_v into_o this_o perfect_a life_n which_o they_o have_v make_v the_o people_n promise_n and_o vow_n that_o the_o child_n shall_v perform_v when_o they_o come_v to_o age_n now_o if_o they_o have_v and_o still_o do_v make_v the_o people_n promise_n and_o vow_n that_o the_o child_n shall_v do_v that_o which_o all_o the_o priest_n in_o england_n can_v do_v then_o in_o all_o just_a reason_n the_o people_n shall_v have_v the_o tithe_n but_o if_o the_o people_n do_v not_o perform_v this_o vow_n and_o bring_v forth_o this_o life_n and_o the_o priest_n and_o bishop_n to_o help_v they_o than_o what_o be_v all_o your_o religion_n worth_n that_o have_v not_o god_n a_o bridle_n for_o your_o tongue_n that_o promise_n and_o break_v it_o that_o vow_v solemn_o before_o the_o lord_n and_o not_o perform_v it_o you_o may_v very_o well_o say_v you_o be_v a_o generation_n of_o miserable_a offender_n and_o there_o be_v none_o of_o you_o do_v good_a as_o it_o do_v appear_v no_o not_o one_o and_o yet_o you_o priest_n will_v have_v a_o reward_n for_o teach_v the_o people_n to_o profit_n when_o you_o can_v bring_v one_o of_o all_o your_o flock_n that_o have_v do_v that_o which_o you_o say_v and_o they_o promise_v and_o vow_n they_o ought_v to_o do_v first_o you_o ought_v to_o do_v your_o work_n before_o you_o require_v your_o wage_n but_o you_o take_v the_o reward_n first_o so_o you_o be_v herein_o more_o cunning_a than_o balaam_n for_o you_o be_v sure_a of_o the_o reward_n though_o you_o never_o do_v the_o work_n and_o most_o of_o you_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o say_v it_o can_v never_o be_v do_v here_o yet_o you_o still_o take_v the_o wage_n can_v this_o be_v any_o other_o than_o the_o wage_n of_o unrighteousness_n to_o be_v pay_v for_o deceive_v the_o people_n keep_v they_o ever_o learning_n and_o never_o able_a to_o bring_v they_o to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n but_o ever_o will_v be_v pay_v though_o never_o do_v the_o work_n therefore_o you_o be_v unprofitable_a servant_n and_o no_o minister_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o we_o can_v follow_v you_o who_o deny_v the_o light_n of_o christ_n within_o and_o so_o you_o choose_v the_o darkness_n for_o that_o will_v not_o reprove_v you_o for_o your_o unprofitable_a work_n and_o they_o which_o walk_v there_o can_v see_v your_o deceit_n therefore_o you_o love_v the_o darkness_n more_o than_o the_o light_n and_o the_o wage_n of_o unrighteousness_n more_o than_o the_o truth_n which_o be_v the_o perfect_a gift_n of_o god_n give_v to_o profit_n withal_o and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n you_o can_v profit_v the_o people_n because_o you_o have_v not_o receive_v the_o perfect_a gift_n of_o god_n that_o the_o apostle_n and_o minister_n of_o christ_n do_v receive_v and_o do_v receive_v which_o be_v give_v for_o the_o perfect_a of_o the_o saint_n for_o the_o edify_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o they_o i_o believe_v speak_v truth_n when_o it_o be_v say_v by_o paul_n that_o he_o speak_v wisdom_n among_o those_o that_o be_v perfect_a and_o that_o they_o that_o be_v sanctify_v be_v perfect_v for_o ever_o and_o the_o scripture_n bear_v testimony_n of_o some_o that_o be_v sanctify_v so_o these_o can_v show_v the_o fruit_n of_o their_o ministry_n that_o they_o do_v perform_v that_o which_o they_o receive_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n to_o do_v these_o do_v not_o receive_v the_o ten_o of_o man_n labour_n yet_o they_o do_v their_o work_n but_o you_o receive_v the_o ten_o and_o say_v the_o work_n can_v never_o be_v do_v here_o if_o the_o work_n be_v to_o be_v do_v in_o another_o world_n what_o have_v you_o to_o do_v to_o take_v wage_n here_o but_o indeed_o you_o be_v like_a to_o have_v none_o of_o we_o in_o this_o world_n except_o you_o can_v do_v your_o work_n in_o this_o world_n but_o the_o apostle_n and_o minister_n of_o christ_n through_o the_o power_n of_o their_o gift_n bring_v man_n to_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o command_n of_o christ_n who_o say_v matth._n 5.48_o be_v you_o therefore_o perfect_a as_o your_o father_n in_o heaven_n be_v perfect_a and_o you_o priest_n make_v the_o people_n vow_n and_o promise_v to_o perform_v and_o be_v it_o not_o his_o will_n that_o this_o command_n shall_v be_v keep_v on_o this_o side_n the_o grave_n if_o not_o why_o do_v you_o make_v the_o people_n promise_v to_o do_v it_o for_o he_o that_o forsake_v the_o devil_n and_o all_o his_o work_n and_o keep_v god_n holy_a will_n and_o commandment_n show_v forth_o and_o witness_v a_o perfect_a life_n but_o if_o you_o have_v teach_v the_o people_n to_o promise_v and_o vow_n that_o which_o they_o nor_o you_o can_v never_o perform_v than_o you_o have_v lead_v the_o people_n into_o error_n and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o error_n than_o you_o be_v err_v from_o the_o spirit_n the_o gift_n of_o god_n by_o which_o the_o people_n shall_v be_v perfect_v and_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n edify_v be_v that_o your_o ministry_n have_v bring_v forth_o no_o such_o fruit_n and_o its_o like_a never_o will_n therefore_o consider_v with_o yourselves_o what_o cause_n those_o that_o love_v your_o soul_n have_v to_o
