But the Power of Faith it is the Power of God making use of the Word of God which is the Sword of the God of Heaven which is sharper than any Two-edged Sword made by Men Because it is Piercing even to the dividing a sunder of Soul and Spirit and of the Joynts and Marrow and is a descerner of the Thoughts and Intents of the Hearts of all the Sons and Daughters of Men that are that have been or ever will be in the World This Word of God which is the Word of Life and the Sword of the Spirit it will Prevail when that the Traditions the Inventions and the Lying Wonders of the Church of Rome shall fail The Word of God abideth for ever therefore that shall prevail when that all Unbelieving Jews Bruitish Atheists Wicked and Bloody Papists and Rebellious Dissenters and Sectaries that do trust to Carnal Wisdom Power and Strength to this Party or that Party to this Opinion or that Opinion to their Estates or their Swords their Hearts shall fail Therefore in these Days of the Gospel of Peace and in the Reign of our Royal Soveraign His Majesty of Great Britain Let all that handle the Sword perish with the Sword that do not use it in a right manner and to a Right End that do not use it for the Glory of the great and Mighty God who is a Man of War and the God of Peace and for the Credit of his Holy Gospel which is the glad Tydings of Salvation and for the great Honour and Renown of the Protestant Religion for the great Joy and Triumph of the Church of England for the great Exaltation of His Majesty of Great Britain and the great Peace and Prosperity of his Kingdoms in these Days of the Gospel which is the Day of Gods Power and the great manifestation of his Patience Wisdom and Glory Let not any despise the day of small things For by Carnal Wisdom Power and Strength shall not Unbeleiving Jews Bruitish Atheists Wicked and Bloody Papists and Rebellious Dissenters and Sectaries prevail but against all these will the Lord of Hosts prevail and that when he please and by whom he please As it is the Prayer of the Ministers of the Gospel so it ought to be their great care in these Days of the Gospel and in the Reign of our Royal Soveraign His Majesty of Great Britain for to mind
what they Sow in Weakness in whom the Great and the Mighty God doth Raise in Power or else they do but Undervalue their own Labours and Encourage their Adversaries For it is not enough for the Ministers of the Gospel to Preach the Word of God in Season and out of Season but they ought to mind who hath Believed their Report and to whom is the Arm of the Lord Revealed For his Arm is very long and very strong and that his Enemies will know in these Days of the Gospel and in the Reign of our Royal Soveraign to their great Shame and Overthrow The Great and the Mighty God that gives Life to a Worm can give Power to a Man to make all his Enemies throughout the whole World to Tremble And that without having a Sword in his Hand or Men or Money at Command Therefore as my Heart is Ingaged for the God of Heaven so it is Inraged against all them that do Slight and Undervalue his Holy Word and Question his Mighty Power By the Power of God I am what I am and will Labour to do what I can that his Name and Works throughout the whole World may be known to be most Glorious and His Majesty of Great Britain's Royal Person Crown and Kingdoms most Renowned and Famous among all and above all Heathen and Popish Kings Priests Princes and Emperors in the World If ever there was a time for to manifest the Power of Faith for the great Honour and Renown of England's Royal Church and State it is in such a time when that too many do Question the Truth of it and few brings forth the Fruit of it which is Love and Obedience to God and Man Great is the Power of Faith that doth inable a Mortal Man to have Power with the God of Heaven to get Power from him and to Act with Power for him and that in the worst of times and before the best of Men in these Days of the Gospel and in the Reign of our Royal Soveraign His Majesty of Great Britain That among all People in all Nations there may be a general Reformation Throughout the whole World there must be but one Religion and that is the Protestant Religion as it is Establish'd in the Church of England for it is the true Religion because it doth hold forth and declare the knowledge of the true God and Jesus Christ whom he hath sent without Believing in him and willing to be Ruled by him there is not any of the Sons and Daughters of Men that can be Saved As for the Church of Rome her Children cannot Learn true Religion because their Teachers are False Prophets and Deceivers Instead of Consolation they do many times meet with Condemnation and instead of Salvation they be Exposed to great Damnation When the Blind Lead the Blind they do fall into the Ditch When the People are Ignorant and their Teachers not Sound in the Faith there cannot be a true Church nor a good State The Church of Rome will in these Days of the Gospel and in the Raign of our Royal Soveraign His Majesty of Great Britain be soon brought down because that they stand upon a Sandy Foundation as Tradition and Lying Wonders And their Trust and Considence it is in an Arm of Flesh which is Carnal Wisdom Power and Strength which has Decieved many and will Deceive them What saith the Lord whose Word shall stand and prevail when all their Wisdom Power and Strength their Pride and Glory shall fail Thus saith the Lord Cursed be the Man that trusteth in Man and maketh Flesh his Arm Cursed be the Turk the Pope the French King and the King of Spain and all those that do use their Wisdom their Power and their Strength to hinder the Gospel in any Nation that it should not prevail The Jews that do slight the Gospel and deny Christ cannot be Saved but by looking up upon him whom they have Pierced and Crucified The Proud Turk cannot be Saved by his Mahomet It must be by the Gospel which doth hold forth Jesus Christ who is the Lord of Life and the King of Glory who is ready and willing in all Nations to save Sinners that will deny their own Carnal Wisdom Power and Strength he will give them Divine Wisdom Power and Strength which will Enable them that do Injoy it for to Understand the mind of God to do the will of God and to Injoy the Favour of the Everliving God which is better than Life or all the Delights of this World Because that the Church of England has kept the Word of Gods Patience he will keep her in the hour of Temptation which is come to try all Nations in these Days of the Gospel and in the Reign of our Royal Soveraign His Majesty of Great Britain Great will be the Peace and the Prosperity of the Church of Christ throughout the whole World For the Lord will Judge among al Nations by his Word and Spirit and will Rebuke all them that will not submit to the Gospel of his Son which is the only means that the Wisdom of the Father has appointed for the Saving of lost Man so that they that have trusted to their Wisdom their Power and their Strength will beat their Swords into Plow Shares and their Spears into Pruining Hooks For Nation shall not lift up Sword against Nation neither in these Days of the Gospel shall they learn War any more as they have done but great will be the Joy and Triumph of the Church of England Great will be the Honour and Exaltation of our Royal Soveraign His Majesty of Great Britain And great will be the Peace and the Prosperity of many Kingdoms So that in the Reign of our Royal Soveraign many Nations will be freed from Slavery and throughout the whole World there will be great Joy Peace and Prosperity This I Declare but not by my own Wisdom and Power nor by the Wisdom and Power of any Mortal Men but by the Wisdom and Power of the God of Heaven who doth all things in Heaven and in Earth according to the Counsel of his own Will and that when and by whom he will that so all the Glory may Redound to him and that no Flesh should Glory before him This great and mighty God who is the Searcher of all Hearts and has the command over all Spirits who can speak Peace when he please and by whom he please to a Person or to a Nation has stirr'd me up to Engage with him and has given me Wisdom Power and Athority from his Word and Spirit for to understand his mind and to make it known in due time for the great Joy Peace and Prosperity of Mankind Had any one have promised to give me Ten Thousand Pound for to Engage in so Noble a Design I should not have Ventured my Life Endangered my Liberty for to Engage in a Business of so High a Nature that I have neither President Example or
Encouragement from Wise Strong Rich and Learned Men though it tends for the great Honour Peace and Prosperity of them But having an eye to the Recompence of Reward which is the Crown of Life that Crown which will never Rust when all the Honour and Glory of this World will be laid in the Dust I have Ventured my Life Endangered my Liberty and have Exposed my self to many Losses Crosses and Reproaches to be Blam'd Sham'd and Condemn'd by many Men for Engaging with the God of Heaven for to make known his mind for the great Joy Peace and Prosperity of Mankind But that God that has Encouraged me and Assisted me in well doing will Protect me and Reward me in due time for well doing They that can deny themselves and overcome themselves for to lay out themselves for his sake and the Gospel will in this World receive a Hundred-fold of Joy Peace and Comfort and in the World to come Eternal Life which they will want that be afraid or asham'd to own him and to appear for him in the worst of times and before the best of Men They that deny him before Men he will them before his Father and Holy Angels in Heaven But they that Confess him here he will them there The time is come that the God of Heaven will not be Slighted and Mocked by the Sons of Men as he has been too long and too much by many of them as by Unbelieving Jews Bruitish Atheists Wicked and Bloody Papists and Rebellious Dâ—ssâ—nâ—ers and Sâ—staries But as in these Gospel Days they wâ—â—l not Know Fear Love Serve and Honour him he will be Honoured upon them in bringing of them to great Shame and Consusion as many have sound and more will find if that they will not Cease to do Evil and Learn to do well but they that will Honour the God of Heaven he has promised to Honour them in this World sometimes it may be with Honours Riches and a long Lise but in Heaven it will be with all that have been Faithful and Fruitful for the great Honour of God the King and Nation in their Generation in this Life he will Reward them in Heaven with Glory Immortallity and the Crown of Life The Eyes of the Lord are upon the Righteous both to behold them and to uphold them for his Eyes run too and fro throughout the whole Earth to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose Heart is perfect towards him to Assist them to Counsel Comfort and Strengthen them and to Defend them and to Punish and Wound them that do Offend them that do Slight and Undervalue them that be as dear unto him as the Apple of his Eye They be his Peculiar Treasure his Crown and Glory his Portion and his great Reward though the Men of this World sees no Excellencies or Beauty in them yet by them that be most Wise they be Counted Excellent Persons for they be the Salt of the Earth the Light of the World the City on a Hill they be Men of great Ability and Nobility for Nobility they have the Creator of Heaven and of Earth to become their Reconciled Father his only and beloved Sons who is the Lord of Life and the King of Glory their Elder Brother the Holy Ghost their Counsellor and Comsorter Angels their Life-Guard the best of Kings and Queens their Royal Nurses Ministers their Servants and the Devil and all Wicked Men their Slaves Do I say Ministers their Servants are not all the Angels in Heaven Ministring Spirits sent forth to Minister for them who are and shall be Heirs of Salvation So that great is the Honour of the Sons of the Most High though they be Slighted and Undervalued in this World by the Workers of Iniquity Who can tell what great things the God of Heaven has laid up for them whom he has provided so many to Honour and to Wait upon some to Ennoble them some to Counsel and Comfort them some to Guard and Regard them some to Provide and Nourish them many to serve and to wait upon them He that has given them his Son who is the High and Mighty one the Chiefest of Ten Thousands will he not with him freely give them all things that shall be most suitable and seasonable Profitable and Comfortable and Advantageous for their Comfort in this Life and their Happiness in a better In this World the Wisdom the Power the Honour and the Glory of the Heirs of Heaven the Members of Christ doth not well appear because that their life is hid with Christ but when he shall appear who will appear with his Mighty Angels and in his great Glory then what will become of them that know him not and have not Obeyed his Gospel they will be Punished with Everlasting Destruction from the Presence of this great Lord and from the Glory of his Power But then he will be glorified in his Saints and admired of all them that believe for he will Change their Vile Bodies that have been upon Earth and make them like unto his most Glorious Body which is more Glorious than the Sun in the Firmament to be for ever with him in whose Presence is fulness of Joy and at whose Right Hand are Pleasures for ever more in this World A true Believer is a Man of Wonder because he has the Devil and the World under his Feet and Christ in his Heart who is the Hope of Glory and the Crown of Glory to them that Believe in him and make an Improvement of him And as a true Believer is a Man of Wonder many times to himself so sometimes the God of Heaven will make him a Son of Thunder against the Turk the Pope and the Devil and all the Workers of Evil against all that do Slight and Undervalue the Word of God and Question his mighty Power It is not Men nor Angels but the God of Heaven that has made me a Wonder to my self a Terror to his Enemies and a Crown and a Glory to all them that be Faithful to him to our Royal Soveraign His Majesty of Great Britain to the Protestant Religion and to the Church of England The God of Heaven is no Respecter of Persons he that loveth Truth and worketh Righteousness will be Accepted and Rewarded but all the Workers of Iniquity will be Ashamed Confounded and Destroyed He is not a Righteous Man that is not a Humble and a Holy Man a Wise and a Faithful Man a Valourous and a Couragious Man in his Generation for the great Honour of God the King and Nation For Men to want these Graces they will be found Unacceptable to the God of all Grace Unprofitable to them that want Grace and Uncomfortable to themselves in every State and Condition but to have these Graces in Truth and to produce their Fruit will Procure and Secure Men in the Favour of the God of Heaven and of the Wise and Mighty Angels in Heaven and of all them that be
Wars Treachery and Cruelty is more than there be men in England Scotland and Ireland And yet the Church of Rome the Mother of Harlots that Scarlet Whore is not satisfied but the Righteous God to whom Vengeance doth belong though he be slow to Anger yet is he great in Power therefore he will give her Blood to Drink because she is worthy The Day of thy Calamity O Church of Rome is at hand that so many Nations may be freed from Slavery and throughout the whole World there may be great Joy Peace and Prosperity For thy Pride and Vain-glory thy Formality Hypocrisie and Treachery the Misery that will come upon thee maketh hast Therefore Cry and Howl you Inhabitants of Rome for Antichrist must come down and all those that will uphold his Crown to that end the Lord of Hosts who is Strong and Mighty in Battel who has all Power in his own hand and the whole Creation at command has stirr'd me up to engage with him to stir up all the Kings and Princes in the world that will own him to bring down his Implacable Enemies that be against him as the Turk the Pope the French King and the King of Spain because they be Enemies to his Gospel and his Children who are as dear unto him as the Apple of his Eye because they be his purchased ransomed and redeemed Ones they be his justified sanctified chosen and beloved Ones they be his choice Jewels and his great Treasure As for the Workers of Iniquity the Seed of Evil Doers the Children of Disobedience the Enemies of his Gospel who be unbelieving Jews bruitish Atheists wicked and bloody Papists and rebellious Dissentors and Sectaries they be but Lumber and Cumber in the world till they do Conform and Reform to the Lord of Life who is the King of Glory and the Prince of Peace who knows when how and by whom he please with much ease to bring great Peace and Prosperity to a Nation as to a Person happy be they that live to him and live for him they will live for ever with him they will be in his Favour in whose Presence is Fulness of Joy and at whose Right Hand are Pleasures for ever-more It is a great Priviledge to be in the Favour of an Earthly Prince but it is the highest Honour and the greatest Safety to be in the Favour of the God of Heaven who is the Lord of Life and the King of Glory A man may want Money sometimes to help himself when he may be rich and strong in Faith to help others A man may want Money to Trade with men when he may be rich and strong in Faith to engage with the God of Heaven for the Glory of his great Name to have his Enemies brought to shame and His Majesly of Great Britain and the Church of England throughout the whole world to great Honour Renown and Fame True Faith which is more precious than Gold will make a man seeming poor to make others really rich and it will inable a man to make himself in the world of no Reputation to bring others to great Honour and Exaltation Let all that want so rich a Jewel as precious Faith labour to get it from the Lord of Life in the use of those means that he has appointed and the Church of England has ordained and they that have it let them labour to prove it and improve it because it will innoble the Mind and inable the Mind to frame some noble Design and to bring it about in due time for the great Joy Peace and Prosperity of Mankind It has been want of Faith and Love to God our Brethren and Enemies that has caused so much Strife and Contention Sedition and Rebellion which has brought great Disorder and Confusion from time to time among Mankind But the God of Wisdom and Power knows when and how for to bring among the Sons of Men in many Nations Order out of Confusion Light out of Darkness Good out of Evil Peace out of Trouble in the worst of Times and by the weakest of Means that Strife Contentions and Wars throughout the whole Earth may cease All People in all Nations must strive to live in Love and Peace because God is Love who is the Creator of all Men and the Preserver of them That this may be done and well done the Gospel that bringeth Glad-tydings of Salvation must Run and be Glorified where it is not and must flourish where it is that so they that do not know the true God and Jesus Christ whom he hath sent may labour to know him and they that know him let them labour to love him and they that love him let them labour to keep his Commandments because they be not grievous but most pleasant profitable and comfortable But the Traditions of the Church of Rome are burdensom unprofitable and uncomfortable they do deprive Kings of their Priviledges And that is the greatest Freedom which is the Freedom of the Mind and the greatest Liberty which is the Liberty of the Will and the greatest Power which is over Sin the World and the Devil The Church of Rome is too cruel to her Children because she will not let them injoy the Jewels more worth than three Kingdoms And that is a sound Heart which is the life of the Flesh a wholsom Tongue which is a Tree of Life and righteous Lips which are the Delight of Kings but to lye slatter and dissemble is the Church of Rome's Religion The Lips of Truth will be establisht for ever but a lying Tongue is but for a moment Times may be so bad and so sad that many may be brought into such great straights that they cannot tell how to live well by their Estates or their Trades by their Houses or Lands or Offices or great Places but in the worst of Times that can come the Just shall live by his Faith because it is more precious than Gold In time of Famine he will be fed in time of Plague he will be hid in time of War he will not fly in time of Fire he is provided for all Eternity when the Heavens shall pass away with a great noise and the Elements shall melt with fervent heat and the Earth and all the Works that are therein shall be burnt up then the Just and Righteous have an Inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that fadeth not away reserved in Heaven for them Faith that works by Love will inable the Sons and the Daughters of Men to bear much to suffer much to want much and to enjoy much and to do much good in their Generation for the great Honour of God the King and Nation they that can love the God of Heaven for himself will serve him for his Kingdom and they will know that the God of Heaven loves them but not for what they have done and suffered but he loves them for his Son and for what he has done and suffered They that do love God
