and impudence and take unto you modesty and talk not of the condition of the saints no further then you can vvitness them fulfilled in you call not God Father till you can vvitness that vvhich is begotten of God doth rule you consider hovv ye have blasphemed the name of God vvhile you have called him Father and Lord but have done the vvorks of the Divel consider hovv the vvay of truth hath been evill spoken of through your loosness vvho have called your selves by the name of God and Christ yet novv are found talking of and pleading for the liberty of the flesh O be ashamed and confounded is this the end of your profession is this the end of your talk is the liberty of the flesh that wch ye have been contending for all this while will God be thus served will not he be avenged on such a generation as this who hath thus deceitfully dealt with him take heed ye are not stronger then God what will become of this chaffe when he who is a consuming fire shall plead with it will this abide the fire will this stand before the Lord pure is his name pure is his power let all that defiles and works abominations depart from him for it cannot dwell vvith him neither doth he delight in it therefore O ye professors vvho are lifted up in a dead unsavoury and putrified profession come dovvn and depart from your filthiness which ye have long lived in or for ever you must depart from the presence of God ye are like tall Cedars but your boughs vvill be lopped and your beautiful branches wherewith you have deceived many who have admited your beauty shall be taken from you then shall the old stump from whence these branches have grown be seen to be as wood fit for the fire your profession is discovered and your nakedness is seen therefore repent while you have time and it is a day of visitation to you And now O ye parents who have many children consider vvhat it is children are given you for is it to bring them up in pride and idleness vvantonness and luxury do

melancholy and say that children should be merry and laugh and such like and thus vvalk in the broad way your selves and bring up your children to follow your own steps how will ye give an account before the Lord how will you answer for these things before him who will punish you for these things How many is there among you who have been forward in teaching their children to curse and swear and in hearing them to be ready at it have been delighted have not many of you taught your children to lye and dissemble and have called them good children wh●n they have been expert at it O horrible wickedness vvas ever any like this is it not a shame that such a thing should be named much lesse practized by those who call themselves christians will not the Heathen who have not heard of God rise up in iudgement vvith this generation and condemn them for their filthiness Now to the light of Christ in all your consciences do I appeal which doth condemne these wicked practises before mentiond whether these things be not so the testimonie of that seek for that will not lye though yee will and is a teacher to all who follow it and are guided by it but is for ever the condemnation of all who despise and disobey it and remember that your sins have been laid before you ye stubborn ones who hate to be reformed and now the time is past and ye are in the pit out of which there is no redemption remember that a day was profered to you and that there was a time wherein it was said to you to day if you will hear his voice harden not yur hearts So I rest This written to the uncircumcised in hearts and ears who go on in the Stiff-neckedness of their own hearts despising the Love of the Lord and doing despite unto his Spirit A sufferer for the sake of the seed of God and a friend of Sions
