A PLAIN Record or Declaration SHEWING The Original ROOT and RACE OF PERSECUTORS Together With the Nature Practice and End of that GENERATION in all Ages past since the Beginning as we may Read in the Scriptures of Truth from Genesis to the Revelation But more Particularly thus The Devil who was a Murderer and a Liar from the Beginning and the Original of all Sin is the Father of all Persecutors and Persecution which is the Birth born after the Flesh which the Egyptian Woman the Bond Woman is the Mother of who is cast out with her Son from being Heir whose End is Destruction CHRIST JESUS the Truth the Peace the Power of God which destroyes the Devil the Original of all Sin and Unrighteousness He is the Original and Everlasting Father of all the Righteous which is the Birth born after the Spirit whose Mother is Jerusalem from Above which is Free with her Children who are the Righteous which are Persecuted who will not persecute nor hate but love Enemies Now these are Abel's Generation who was a Righteous man whose Sacrifice was accepted of God him Cain slew who was wicked And so all Haters Murderers Persecutors about Religion Worship and Sacrifice from the Beginning even until this day they are of Cain's Generation the PERSECVTOR whose Sacrifices God hath no respect unto their hands are full of Blood though they Profess all the Scriptures of Truth they are Persecutors of the Just and so their Reward will be according to their Work H. F. Gal. 4. He that is born after the Fesh Persecutes him that is born after the Spirit London Printed for Robert Wilson in Martins Le Grand 1661. A Plain RECORD or DECLARATION Shewing The Original ROOT and RACE Of PERSECUTORS Together With the Nature Practice and End of that GENERATION c. NEver did any Prosper who were Persecutors of the Righteous For when the Devil went out of the Truth then did he snare and tempt others out of the Truth and their Habitation And being so the State was Lost which was in the Begining wherein all things were Blessed and Good And the Devil the Original of all Sin is the Father of Persecutors and Persecution who is out of the Truth in the whole World which was always Blind that lyes in Wickedness from which Foundation of the World hath the Lamb been slain the Just have Suffered and been Persecuted by them that have obeyed the Devil the Author and Original of all Sin Who hath entered into their Minds and defiled their Minds so that they have disobeyed the Good in them the Just in them which is the Cause of all the Persecution in Christendom and all the Persecution Ignorance in the whole World And People disobeying the Good that is in them and the Just and so obeying the Bad in them they are Aliens in their minds and Strangers to the Life of God and Covenant of Promise and Strangers to the Image and Likeness of GOD the Image of the Devil being within them and yet undefaced and unsubdued This is the Cause of the Enmity in the whole VVorld and the Cause of the Enmity in them that do profess the Scriptures both Jews and Christians being Aliens from the Life which they were in which spake them forth in which there is no Unity and Subjection unto God and to one Another So the Devil was the First Persecutor the Enemy of Mankind who is the Power of Death the Author of Sin which brings it forth which Christ the Truth and Prince of Life Destroys for he Ends all Persecution Cain the Second Persecutor who Persecuted righteous Abel though he was a Governour and built a City God said he was a Vagabond and Fugitive and his Brother's Blood stopped the Earth from yeelding its full strength So that a Persecutor Corrupteth the Earth and all that be Persecutors are of Cain Vagabonds to whom belongs the Woe though they be never so Great in the Earth the Woe is to them if they be Persecutors The Old World Persecuted Noah righteous Noah with whom was God's Covenant who was a Preacher of Righteousness And God overthrew the Old World for their Filthiness and Wickedness and Ungodliness who grieved him and had Corrupted the Earth and filled it with Violence who were Drowned and righteous Noah in the Ark was saved with Eight Persons So there was the End of those Persecutors The Sodomites were struck Blind by the Angel of the Lord who assaulted Lot's House in Sodom and afterwards the Lord Consumed their City with fire The Caldeans were Persecutors of Faithful Abraham from among whom God brought him who denied his Acquaintance Relations and Friends and Nation and Country Worship and Fathers House and went into a strange Land to Dwell And afterwards Abraham's Seed were Strangers in the Land of Egypt who by the Egyptians were four hundred years Afflicted and Persecuted but the Lord did Overthrow the Egyptians in the Red Sea and so Destroyed those Persecutors Ishmael the Son of Hagar the Bond-woman did Mock and Persecute Isaac the Son of Sarah the Free-woman who was cast out of Abraham's Family that he should not Inherit with the Righteous because he was a Persecutor Esau was a Persecutor of Jacob who fled from his Face and he despised his Birth-right for a messe of Pottage and morsel of Bread And Esau the Persecutor because he hated his Brother therefore the Lord said I have hated Esau and laid his mountain desolate and Jacob have I loved who was blesseded of God and there is an End of that Persecutor Nimrod and Cain were two old Hereticks the one Persecuted Abel and the other was called the Mighty Hunter before the Lord who did begin to build Babel which God confounded and declared Cain to be a Vagabond So a Persecutor is a Vagabond and a Fugitive Ioseph's Brethren Persecuted him and Sold him into Egypt and Pottiphar's Wife slandered righteous Joseph yet neverthelesse the Lord made him to prosper and cleared his Innocency Joseph's Brethren were made to Bow in the day of their Poverty to their Brother whom they had Sold and Persecuted Pharaoh the King that Old Persecutor because he would not let the Children of Israel go that they might Worship God the Lord Destroyed him And the Egyptians Persecuted the Children of Israel though to them Joseph had been a blessing and they killed their Children and Oppressed them by sore Labour and Taxes therefore the Lord overthrew those Persecutors and drowned them in the Sea and delivered His Persecuted and Oppressed People by a mighty hand and outstretched arm So that there was an end of those Oppressors and Persecutors And the Children of Israel Persecuted Moses and were ready to stone him in the Wilderness and Rebelled against him and neither regarded his word nor the Lord wherefore the Lord said they should not enter into his rest Whose carcasses fell in the Wilderness and perished as Pharaoh did in the Sea with his Host who
