A WARNING To the Inhabitants of LEEDS And all others in Cities Towns and Villages Who have willfully been Persecuting THE PEOPLE of the LORD VVhom he hath called by his Eternal Spirit to magnifie himself in and to testifie for Truth and Righteousness and against all ungodly Works and Workers thereof By Isabel Wails Printed in the Year 1685. A WARNING To the Inhabitants of LEEDS And all others that are or may be concerned in all Cities Towns and Villages wheresoever this may come O You Inhabitants of Leeds to whom I have been a near Neighbour and a near Dwelle● these several years This day I am moved in the everlasting Spirit of Truth to warn you both High and Low Rich and Poor to Return unto the Lord God who by his Holy Spirit calls in the secret parts of your hearts for Truth and Righteousness and true Holiness and wills not the Death of any Soul that he in his pure Wisdom hath Created But dear People this is my Testimony for the Lord he would have all to come unto him that they may receive Life and Peace from him who is God forever and he changeth not neither is he limited this day nor his Spirit is not limited which he in the riches of his Love hath manifested and revealed unto us so in the sure Revelation of his eternal Love am I constrained to tell you who have made War against the appearance of the Lord in his People The Lord is making haste to recompence every one of you according to your doings for he is risen to be a swift Witness against the Ungodly And I plainly tell you all who these lines may come before to be read or heard If you sow to the Flesh of the Flesh you shall reap Corruption but if ye sow to the Spirit ye shall of the Spirit reap Life Everlasting Therefore in the fear of the Lord God and Bowels of tender Pity am I made to warn you all to lay aside or cease from your Acts of Cruelty which the power of Satan hath invented in your Hearts which Power is limited So I intreat you to return unto the Lord and put on the Spirit of Meekness and seek the Lord God that through seeking him you may find Mercy and Compassion as all his People who have sought him have done from Age to Age and Generation to Generation the Lord God hath had pity unto the Cries of his own and it s for no other cause or occasion that we Suffer but for bearing forth the Testimony of his Love that he hath revealed in us who were in the Bondage of Corruption and Iniquity as you are who are persecuting the Upright and have oppressed the Innocent without any just cause Therefore I am bound to declare unto you That God is highly displeased at your doings for his Anger is kindled and the Viols of his Wrath are ready to be poured forth upon you who have wilfully transgressed against him And except ye Repent and let true Judgment come over the head of the Transgressor you cannot escape but you must drink of the Cup of his Indignation which is held forth for them that will not take his counsel nor hearken unto him when he calls Oh! how doth my Soul breathe that you would return unto the Lord before that you have sinned out your Day lest that the Lord's Bowels of Compassion be shut up against you and if so Mark you may call and he will not hear you may shout and cry but he will not hearken nor answer therefore as God hath manifested himself unto us through his Son Christ Jesus though we were in Darkness as well as others but through waiting upon him in his own Spirit we are come to know the Deeds of Wickedness to be mortified in us and through his Spirit that gives Life are we come to have our hearts softned and mollified thereby So in this living Spirit we cannot but declare unto others and desire that all may come to the true acknowledgment of the Lord and not only to know him but also to obey him then it will be certain as here you abide that Cruelty will be put to an end in every one of your hearts who come to receive this Counsel and Mercy and Pity and true Compassion will be raised towards all men for of a Truth I declare and bear my Testimony for my God at this very moment of time that there is yet a tender pity runs from the Bowels of the Lord unto some of you and his Mind is that none might perish nor be destroyed but that you might wait upon him that through him you might receive Life and Peace forever So I intreat you that you may not reject the counsel of the Lord which doth arise in the meanest of his People and slight not the day of your Visitation Jest it pass over your heads for this day God is the same that ever he was to bear up their heads that fear him and also to renew their Faith who are freely given up to answer him in his Requirings also he is ready to take Vengeance of the Transgressors and of them that stand to fight against any of his Children whom he hath chosen to bear forth his Testimony in his Truth upon Earth So dear People I would have you to remember Moses how often he was made by the Spirit and Power of God to spake unto Pharoah but Pharoah opposed the Power of God through the hardness of his Heart and rejected the Counsel of the Lord that the Lord had revealed unto Moses and he would not let the Children of Israel go but he invented a way through the work of Satan how he might destroy the Innocent but the Lord hearkened unto their Cries and their Groans came before him and he had regard unto his chosen flock and by Faith were they delivered when Pharoah and all his Host were destroyed and did perish from off the Earth So in the tender Bowels of Love hath the Lord God opened my Mouth amongst you my Towns-men Neighbours and Acquaintance to warn you once more to return unto the Lord who is the living God and no longer harden your hearts for this day God hath passed by the Wise and Prudent of this World who have not had an Eye unto him and he hath revealed himself unto a People who are accounted as the Off-scouring of the Earth and in the eyes of Wise men we are not counted worthy to live but God that hath heard our Cries in the deepest of our Afflictions hath had regard unto us and still doth remain with us and we are certain he will do as we stand faithful unto him for he hath renewed our Faith as he did Abraham's of Old So in this Faith and Confidence is my Soul made to testifie against all Gain-sayers and them that strike against the appearance of the Lord of Hosts in any of his People whom he hath chosen and he hath also drawn us to believe
