appearance of Evil that we may shun it and it shines more and more unto them that obey it unto the perfect day and then such can look into the perfect Law of liberty the Ark of Gods Covenant and not be destroyed nor consumed for it is the pure in Heart that shall see God and live but the Wicked shall not be able to abide the notable day of his coming neither shall they be able to stand in Judgment with him for when God speaks all flesh must keep Silence before him O therefore prepare prepare to meet thy God O Israel and bring thy works before-hand to Judgment lest thou and thy works be burnt up together For Sion must be redeemed through Judgment and her converts cloathed with Righteousness for with the Spirit of Judgment and the Spirit of Burning will the Lord purge away the filth of the daughter of Sion and he will have a clean People zealous of good Works for Faith without works is Dead as the Body is dead without the Spirit and that Faith which doth give victory over the World is the true Faith which is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen therefore did the Apostle exhort them in his day to come up in the true Faith and to put on the whole armour of God that they might be able to stand against all the Wiles of the Devil in the evil day and so having done all to stand with their loins girt about with Truth and so having on the brest plate of Righteousness and their feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel of Peace and above all taking the shield of Faith wherewith they might be able to Quench all the fiery darts of the Wicked for the travel of the Righteous in all Ages was that they might know and witness the true passage through the great Tribulations within the Enemies of the Lord subdued in their own Houses and then they did not question Gods sufficiency in bringing down their outward Enemies for such that have given up their Souls Bodies to serve the Lord can trust him with the lesser as well as the greater for of how much more value is the Soul than the Body for the Body is but for a little moment of time and is cut down and returns to the dust from whence it came but the Soul passeth into the never ending day of Eternity where the Souls of the Righteous shall forever live with the Lord in everlasting Joy and Felicity but the Wicked in everlasting Wo and Misery Oh therefore what great need have we while we are in these Earthly Tabernacles to bring forth Fruits meet for Repentance and to work out our Salvation with fear and trembling that our calling and election may be made sure with the Lord for what have we to do whilst in the Body but to fear God and keep his Commandments which is the whole Duty of man and blessed be the Name of the Lord can a Remnant say When he doth enlarge our Hearts that his Commandments are not grievous but joyous and his way a way of Pleasantness and all his paths Peace O therefore you that would be counted Friends of God and Disciples of Jesus Christ come away whilst the call of the Lord lasteth into faithfulness and leave your Nets and Entanglements in this Life which keeps you a fishing after the things of this World which do perish in the using take up the daily Cross of Christ as the true Disciples did and follow him that he may make you Fishers of men for those that will be Christs Disciples must deny Self and take up the daily Cross of Christ and follow him through the great Tribulations wheresoever he leads them then such may be made Instruments in the hand of the Lord when they are converted to strengthen their weak Brethren and to teach Transgressors his Ways that Sinners may be converted to the Truth for the Lord did not call us into his Vineyard to stand Idle but to work and especially at this time of day now the Name of the Lord is so much prophaned amongst the Heathen by some that have left their publick Testimony to save Self and have not done as holy Daniel did notwithstanding the King's Decree he worshipped his God as at other times with his Windows open towards Jerusalem but if Daniel had reasoned with Flesh and Blood That the same God that could hear in publick can hear in private and so shut up for fear of man till the King's Decree was over where had Daniel's Deliverance been and Gods All-sufficiency seen Oh therefore what have you been a doing in your secret Chambers for the Lord that it cannot yet appear on the house top but are ready to say within your selves That you have not left your Testimony for the Truth but do meet often together in his fear O! arise arise come away for your Rest is polluted for the Lord loaths your solemn Assemblies and rejects all your Sacrifices because it is not of his own preparing therefore it is an Abomination in his sight it is no more than the cutting off a Dogs neck or the offering of Swines Blood for the Lord is jealous for his own Names sake which you should have honour'd in the fight of the Heathen if you had possest what you have profest for what excuse can you make with the Lord O ye Rich men of the Earth when the Lord shall enter into Judgment with you for his great Name 's sake which you should have sanctified in the sight of the People for it was not sufficient for the poor Woman when she was healed by Christ's Virtue of her bloody Issue which all the Physicians of no value could not do to slip away and not make known his Power but she was made at the call of Jesus to come and reverence him in the sight of the Multitude and to confess unto his Power which was beyond the sight of all Visibles and those that followed him no further than for what they could see in his visible Appearance or to receive from him to serve their own ends in the outward and not only and alone for eternal Life could not with all their thronging and pressing of him fetch one drop of Virtue from him to the saving of their Souls Oh! therefore take warning and answer the end of the Lord with his own this day or else it will be more tolerable for the Professors of the times except you Repent than for you which never saw their way to wait upon the Lord in the silence of all flesh without they had an outward Teacher And what if the Lord should enter into Judgment with you and require their Blood at your hands for there are many honest-hearted amongst them that if they knew the Truth they would walk in it and gladly receive it and the day is at hand that they that do not gather with Christ with the
