A43753	To all the inhabitants of the earth this is sent as a warning from the Lord, vvho hath been long grieved with a sinful and an adulterous generation; but against the fulness of transgression hath prepared vialls full of wrath to cast upon the head of wicked and ungodly men. Here is also the vain traditional worship of both priest and people (in short) plainly made menifest to all those that art not willing to remain in ignorance, which for many years hath overspread the whole world; but now is the son of righteousness arising, which discovereth all deceivers and deceivableness, and causeth the lowly, meek and innocent to understand wisdom. Written by a servant of the Lord, who is known to you by the name of John Higgins.	Higgins, John, 1633-1667.	1658 (1658)	Wing H1952C; ESTC R215938	6,721	10

who_o have_v be_v the_o teacher_n of_o this_o people_n who_o for_o filthy_a lucre_n have_v deceive_v their_o soul_n teach_v for_o doctrine_n the_o tradition_n of_o man_n daub_v the_o people_n with_o

and_o art_n have_v be_v idolise_v many_o day_n but_o now_o your_o flattery_n be_v see_v and_o your_o learning_n be_v come_v to_o nought_o and_o your_o unrighteousness_n will_v be_v make_v manifest_a to_o the_o eye_n of_o all_o people_n that_o have_v be_v deceive_v therewith_o and_o all_o your_o righteousness_n and_o unrighteousness_n be_v sin_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o your_o reward_n shall_v be_v according_o therefore_o all_o both_o priest_n and_o people_n consider_v of_o your_o way_n and_o amend_v your_o life_n for_o very_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o be_v mock_v although_o for_o

concerning_o that_o which_o you_o call_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o the_o order_n in_o your_o church_n now_o see_v from_o who_o you_o have_v your_o exampel_v for_o it_o be_v altogether_o

and_o fighter_n and_o proud_a person_n sing_v all_o with_o a_o voice_n they_o be_v not_o puff_v in_o mind_n but_o as_o harmless_a as_o a_o wean_a child_n and_o such_o like_a word_n be_v utter_v in_o

now_o i_o exhort_v all_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n god_n to_o mind_v the_o light_n of_o christ_n jesus_n in_o your_o conscience_n make_v manifect_a all_o unrighteousness_n and_o condemn_v

this_o i_o say_v that_o their_o word_n and_o your_o belief_n so_o long_o as_o sin_n regius_fw-la will_v be_v little_a worth_n in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n for_o he_o that_o be_v not_o lead_v by_o

manifestation_n of_o his_o spirit_n in_o the_o heart_n and_o conscience_n will_v accuse_v eternal_o therefore_o silence_n all_o vain_a talker_n and_o hireling_n and_o deceiver_n who_o feed_v yourselves_o and_o not_o the_o flock_n against_o who_o the_o lord_n have_v a_o great_a controversy_n and_o he_o will_v plead_v with_o you_o in_o judgement_n then_o shall_v all_o the_o earth_n know_v that_o the_o lord_n send_v not_o his_o message_n by_o the_o learned_a wise_a and_o prudent_a man_n of_o this_o generation_n who_o will_v ●●clude_v all_o other_o from_o the_o ministry_n and_o these_o be_v they_o that_o follow_v the_o error_n of_o balaam_n who_o err_v in_o go_v after_o gift_n and_o reward_n and_o this_o be_v the_o error_n of_o the_o priest_n and_o false_a prophet_n in_o these_o day_n who_o for_o love_n of_o the_o reward_n speak_v peace_n where_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v to_o rest_v so_o that_o this_o be_v not_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n which_o they_o declare_v for_o that_o be_v the_o same_o now_o as_o ever_o it_o be_v not_o of_o man_n nor_o by_o the_o will_n of_o man_n but_o by_o the_o will_n of_o god_n even_o so_o be_v the_o minister_n thereof_o call_v and_o choose_v according_a to_o his_o will_n and_o not_o

the_o will_n of_o man_n and_o we_o do_v know_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v choose_v the_o weak_a and_o despise_a of_o this_o world_n to_o confound_v the_o strong_a and_o mighty_a in_o their_o own_o

of_o the_o language_n of_o hebrew_n gerek_n and_o latin_a which_o they_o call_v the_o original_n be_v nothing_o worth_a as_o par●●●ing_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v now_o make_v manifest_a which_o be_v the_o original_a of_o all_o truth_n and_o righteousness_n and_o by_o it_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n
