A65481	The word of the Lord God Almighty that liveth for ever, and ever, to all persecutors, who are dead, though yet alive, upon the face of the whole earth: that so they may hear, fear, and repent, before it be too late.	West, Thomas, of Hertford.	1664 (1664)	Wing W1393; ESTC R217346	7,346	8

mighty for you all and can and will over-turn you whensoever he pleaseth Now therefore consider it O ye sons of men yea weigh it in the due consideration of your minds even the deep Cry of the guiltless innocent Blood that is all charged upon you ever since the Blood of righteous Abel to this very day who are found persecuting the Innocent about Religion and Worship and with speed repent and turn every one of you from the evil of your wayes or else reade your portions as God hath before proclaimed it by me in his own eternal Spirit and think not to escape the Plagues and Iudgements Wrath and Vengeance of the Almighty God for certainly it will come upon you except you speedily repent for I have heard the dreadful terrible Cry of all the guiltless innocent Blood of the slain Martyrs Prophets Saints and Servants of the Most High God that have been slain for the Testimony of Jesus Christ from under the Altar saying How long O Lord righteous holy just and true will it be ere thou arise and revenge our Blood upon them that dwell upon the face of the Earth and there is a voice in secret hath answered Wait but a very little longer until the rest of your Brethren be gathered unto you and it be all fulfilled that must suffer also for the Testimony of Jesus and then shall it be fulfilled and wholly accomplished And will you not yet hear O ye Rebellious ones who are like fat full-fed Horses each one of you naying after his neighbours wife not having the Fear of God before your eyes who are drinking wine in bowls and making merry over God's Witness in you that which you have slain and crucified and yet in this thing I charge no man or men but this I proclaim and that from God who searcheth all hearts and trys all reins and shall be exalted over all his Enemies Whoremongers and Adulterers Swearers Lyars Drunkards Chamberers Wantons and all manner of vain light persons whatsoever their guilty Conscience needs no other accuser So thou that reads this if thou art guilty thou wilt be accused in thine own heart mind and conscience if thou art not seared as with a Fire-brand of Hell and sealed down in the deep Pit of eternal destruction where thou shalt never see the light any more and when thou art judged and condemned within then there is no man or men can be able to save or justifie thee without So this pure Light wherein there is Life to be found that is able to bring all out of Death and the Fall that discovers all the dark deeds of iniquity and rips up the heart and layes open all thy wickedness that ever thou hast done even that which lighteth every man that is come into the world so that none can be hidden or hide any thing from it Unto this only all are to be turned that desires to be saved which is indeed the way of Life and Salvation and leads to know peace with God for their immortal Souls which is and will be the desire of all nations people kindreds countries tongues and languages upon the face of the whole Earth one time or other whether Kings Rulers or Governours or whosoever else the Light only is the true Saviour to all that want or seek after a Saviour for their poor Souls even that which checks and reproves and also convinces the worst of Sinners pricking you in your hearts after you have dnoe wickedly O do not kick against those pretious pricks but alwayes turn in your minds to its gentle reproofs for that very same is he that is come to be Salvation to the ends of the Earth to as many as lay hold of Him by a true and lively Faith without any wavering and there is not any other Saviour So when any one amongst you is pricked to the heart by the Witness of God in your own particulars O then you are to take good heed to that which pricks you within and not to turn away from it but alwayes wait upon God in it And again when you are checked then you are to take heed to that which checks you and when you are secretly reproved within you are not to be high minded but fear and bow low down to that which doth reprove you and of that learn at all times how to deny your selves and so take up the Cross against your own selves and wills and thus forsake all the vanities of this present evil world or else you can never have any part in Christ Jesus or in the Kingdom of Heaven and here is the true and perfect way for you all to hate the evil and come out from amongst it and so to chuse that which is good and do it all times even to every man as you would all men should do unto you that so God may shew mercy unto you and deal favourably with you And here in the deep sence of this thing you cannot but love God above all things and your neighbour as your own selves and the same measure of Grace being received in each Particular even as it is freely given of God so that all may thereby be profited to life Eternal when obedience is yielded thereto in singleness and uprightness of heart will lead all men to love mercy and do justly and walk humbly before the Lord all the dayes of their lives So here all men may come and deny ungodliness and worldly lusts and walk soberly and righteously before God and so live Godly in Christ Jesus in this present evil world so now when you are sufficiently warned I shall be clear of all your blood and can leave you to your own Master and if you will not hear but still forbear your blood be upon your own heads for evermore All Glory and Honour and Power and Dominion with Majesty and Everlasting Renown to the Noble Worthy Honourable Name of our Powerful Lord God World without end Amen Halelujah So then all Emperours Kings and Princes with all other Rulers whatsoever upon the face of the whole earth shall be bowed down and then God alone shall be exalted in the highest and reign over all who only is Worthy worthy worthy World without end Even so be it saith the Spirit in Tho.

ravanous devouring Nature that 's worse then the Dogs and Swine or any of the bruit beasts of the field But yet know this from God and be ye assured it is even so from the mouth of the Lord God in his own Living Commandement of Life and Power and shall be fulfilled in its season Gods dreadful vengeance hangeth over the heads of you all and is ready to be poured down upon you and there shall be no way found for you to escape it if you do not spedily repent from the bottom of your hearts and turn to the Lord our God with weeping and with fasting and rend your hearts and not your garments yea

except you deeply repent and timely return to the Lord who is able to forgive the chiefest of sinners the which innocent Lambs dyed for the Testimony of Iesus Christ and for no other thing And farthermore let all Goals and Prisons witness against you for ever how many of the Righteous Servants of the Lord have bin imprisoned until death in them whose innocent blood cries very loud to the

and shall for evermore lie as a burthensom stone upon your heads until it hath pressed weighed you down into the nethermost Pit of eternal destruction which is the burning fiery flaming Lake prepared for the Devil and his Angels even Tophet which was prepared of old yea verily it was prepared for the King as saith the Scriptures Isa. 30. 33. and it is deep and very large the burning thereof is fire and much wood and the breath of the Lord like a River of Brimstone doth set it on fire Mark well and behold where the portion of all wicked Kings and Rulers is and for ever shall be that leave this world without repentance Therefore hear O hear and give ear ye foolish Kings and Rulers all yea I say He that hath an ear to hear let him hear what the Spirit saith I that am the Lords Faithful Servant and True Prophet to you all whose face he hath set as a flint against you because of Truth and Righteousness hath also made my Life strong as a walled City even double walled like walls of steel with gates of brass hath commanded me to cry aloud yea verily as loud as ever I can call and cry to set before you your sins and great wickedness which are all come in remembrance before God yea
