see the dangerous Pathes that you are in by following these blind Guides who having shut up the Kingdom of God against Men will neither enter into it themselves nor suffer others Oh why will ye dye ye People of England Why will ye sit in Egypt's Darkness still and the Land of God's People so full of Light The Lord God hath lifted up the Standard of his Truth in the midst of you but you chuse rather to fight under the Banner of the Power of Darkness because of your Love to the World to your Hurt and so the old Dragon who beguiled Eve leads you Captive at his Will who will not have Christ the true Light the good Shepherd and Bishop of the Soul to rule in you The Word of the Lord God unto you all both Priests Magistrates and People Awake awake the great and mighty terrible Day of the Lord God is at Hand is very nigh to come upon you like a Thief in the Night like an armed Man like a terrible Tempest to scatter you to spoil you of your Glory to leave you neither Root nor Branch For now is the Lord Jesus Christ mighty in Power arisen to plead with you in his Wrath because you have made void his Law and transgressed the Everlasting Covenant of his gracious Light and instead there of have set up a dead Image a liveless Form of Man's devising the Image of Jealousie a Religion and Worship which makes nothing perfect to God your Root is seen and judged by the true Light Christ Jesus the Root and Off-spring of David It is so And if you still continue in your vain Thoughts thinking to please God with such a Life wherein you are daily doing what you ought not to do and leaving undone what God commands you and never come out of that wretched and miserably defiled State but think a customary Confession of Sins without forsaking of them is a Worship worthy the pure God who is of purer Eyes then to behold Iniquity I say if these Thoughts and this Heart continue in you the Lord will cast you off and will utterly for sake you and bring his fore Plagues upon you and you shall know in that Day that God will not be mocked but will be sanctified and exalted in his Judgments over all his Enemies especially over such as you who take his Name daily in your Mouthes in vain saying Lord Lord and living in a continual Breach of his most holy Commandments and who instead of waiting for his holy Spirit to kindle a pure heavenly Zeal in you towards G●d and Christ do offer the false Fire of your own blind Zeal as Nadab and Abihu did whom God in his Jealousie consumed with a grievous Destruction And now unto you the two Mothers of these Priests of this Nation of England called Oxford and Cambridge see what you have brought forth and nourished at you Breasts O a sad Generation it is O what a Generation of Evil-doers are your Children whom you have given Suck unto become How have you with your Heathenish Arts and Sciences strengthned them against the Simplicity of the Everlasting Gospel which Christ hath restored unto us in this his glorious Day after the long Night of Apostacy The Lord Jesus Christ never ordained such Wayes and Means as you use for the furnishing and enabling of his Servants for the Work of his Ministry But when he ascended up on high he gave Gifts unto Men some Apostles some Prophets some Evangelists some Pastors and Teachers for the edifying of his Heavenly Body and perf●cting of his holy Ones Ephes. 4. But what can you edifie or perfect to God whose Wisdom is from below and whose Studies and Exercises for the most Part run in the Channel of the Heathenish Philosophy and vain Deceit of the World's Spirit which can neither receive in nor minister forth any Thing of Christ's Kingdom And so we are given by the Lord's blessed Light and Spirit in this Day of the Lord to see and declare That you are gone from Christ and the Way of the true ancient Christians into the Way of the Heathens who know not God as the Apostle said The World by Wisdom knew not God And so the People of the Country are greatly deceived by you and their Children extreamly wronged and corrupted by you for many send up their Youth to learn some Good amongst you but alas how can you that are so evil bring forth good Fruit Nay nay for if any come amongst you and conform not to the filthy and bad Customs of your Universities how are they looked upon as strange Things how are they hooted at as Owls in a Desart You are altogether corrupt from the Crown of the Head to the Sole of the Foot no Soundness in you Oh what Lewdness and Debauchery hath mine Eyes beheld in you The Lord will ease himself of you your high Looks and high Towers he will pull down Your Theater that you glory in shall be a Curse And the Lord will deliver his Lambs from your Teeth What a Face have you that you cannot blush what will you never give over provoaking God with your Acts and Degrees what Heathenish Stuff is this to find you at this Time a Day telling of and glorying in Your Bachellors of Art and Masters of the same Bachellors of Divinity and Doctors of Divinity and such like but if any come amongst you who through the Grace of God hath attained to that blessed Degree of a true living Member of Jesus Christ and Man of God to preach the Mystery of God's Kingdom to awaken you out of your deep Slumbers of Sin and Death him you persecute him you disallow as your Fore-fathers the old Scribes and Pharisees rejected Christ Jesus the true Foundation and Corner-Stone of the Heavenly Building with his blessed Followers And therefore will God's Controversie be with you forever until you repent of your Sorceries and great Abominations where with you have burdened his good Spirit Dayes without Number But the Everlasting Gospel of God's Light and Love shall spread and the Branch thereof shall over all your Walls grow up to his Praise who is come in this Day of his Power to judge the great Whores Works in England as well as in other Countries that the Earth may be swept and fill●d with the Knowledge of God as the Waters cover the Sea So be it so be it saith my Spirit Thomas Taylor And now the Heavenly Free Mother with her happy Children is come and coming down from God out of Heaven to possess inherit and everlastingly to enjoy the Kingdom of his endless Love Peace Righteousness and Joy where Mystery Babylon with all her false Mothers and sinful Children shall have no Name nor Place at all for at the Downfall of Mystery Babylon doth arise in the Saints the pure unspeakeable Joy which none of the Children of the d●rk World understand any Thing of at all It is so See Rev. 2. 17. and Rev. 7. from ver 9. to the End And Rev. 11. from ver 15 to the End And Rev. 12. 7 8 9 10 11.
