opposed Joshuah but it was all in vain this striving also is in vain for God will do his work and the strivings against the deliverance of the Jews and against their deliverer is in vain God will do his work and you even many of you that are now gain-sayers shall be delivered by him that you now scorn and rejoyce in it to your everlasting comfort Consider the strange overturnings that have been in this Nation contrary to mens expectations and now a sudden change will be to the amazement of all men and this change must be effected by the sword of the spirit not by the sword of man for now the time is at hand Swords and spears must be made into plowshares and pruning hooks so that Nation shall not lift up sword against Nation neither shall men learn war any more For when men hear of the coming of the peaceable man they shall leave the war and follow him that in peace and love is sent to deliver them and bring them into a full injoyment of eternal happiness every man sitting under his own Vine and Fig-tree none fraying them away Consider that when the Son of man cometh he shall not find faith on the Earth Remember that before his coming men must deny the resurrection and say where is the promise of his coming and that love should wax cold Pride envies Humility derided Truces and Covenants broken uproars in Nations but when you shall see the sign of the Son of man in the heavens O then we shall mourn looking on him whom they have pierced even that Jesus that died for us then we shall mourn I have told you and also tell you that those that seek the gaining of victory over the peaceable people they shall in the end fail and be broken The many and various reports of me are made up by such that know least of me my state being kept close from men is the cause they so rage and war against me with their tongues but when the man upon the black horse cometh forth with a pair of ballances in his hand then it will be known that the sons of men cannot judge the truth of God by reason and their accursed wills but either by inspiration or immediate Revelation then a measure of Wheat for a penny and two measures of Barley for a penny then propriety disowned and charity imbraced then Faith and Works will eternally be marryed but no Devils faith then who also believe and tremble but no power of God Then St. Jame's Doctrine will be good shew me thy Faith by thy works not honouring the great and slighting the small but shewing love to all that so God only be glorified and exalted But what is this to a people that cannot endure sound Doctrine that have itching ears not attained to the first principles of Religion But it is my comfort that I suffer for Truth by such as cannot judge Truth It is to prepare for the battel of the Lamb Haste haste haste thou man of Sin thy time is short God will plague thee for thy judgeing Truth to be blasphemy haste persecute the people that live by water and bread but thou shalt come to thine end and none shall help thee But we shall in the midst of misery be holpen by a little help and when our Prince stands up every one shall be delivered that is found written in the Book Then wo wo wo and well away shall be to thee in that day for when our God doth us call O then must be thy wo fall fall thou man of Sin thy Law is Sword thy thirstings is after the bloud of those that fear God Remember thou man of Sin that suddenly after thy fathers the Bishops had drawn bloud from Mr. Burton Mr. Bastwick Mr. Lilborn and Mr. Pryn the fall of them was at hand So I Josherbah tauquan tauquan tauquarden pistauvah Jah pahstauvah Jah achor ab sha bah Jah even Moses the servant of the Lord the Lords Scribe Joshua Garment I declare unto thee thou man of Sin that I am the Prophet of the Lord sent to proclaim the coming of the Lord and if thou must like thy Ancestors draw bloud from me or any other Servant of God it is for thy eternal destruction the Lord hath said it I have told thee the day of the Lord is at hand that shall burn as an Oven then our God will save us and thou shalt be as stubble Then bloudy Prelates you all must down your Tything Laws must have no room the Lion is come out of the Wood to break thy pride and destroy thy guilded end end end thy mixture is Iron and Clay thy Morter not well tempered it is like thy fathers the Bishops thy end like theirs Think not thou proud new Prelate that Judgement will not seise on thee as on them I had hopes God would reform thee but now I know he will destroy thee and that suddenly even before next March 1652. But all of you of this Nation that hath and doth strive to protect the innocent God will give you your reward at the appearing of Jesus Christ and then your Enemies shall not stand though in Covenants and Arms against you for God doth remember your care of his people some of you but those that delight in bloud he hath no pleasure in them To God the Father God the Son and God the holy Spirit three Persons yet but one God eternal not defined nor confined not cloathed with mortal flesh and bone as we are the only Creator of all things visible and invisible who is not the Creation nor any part of the Creation whose being is in it self only to him only let be all glory praise power praise for evermore Amen All the Nations of the Earth are as a drop of a bucket to him Thus I have finished this little Declaration The grace of the Lord Iesus Christ be with you that love his appearing Amen Amen and Amen Come Lord Iesus Joshuah Garment Clarken well New Prison June 5 th 1651.
