A60930	A candle lighted at a coal from the altar whereby the King and rulers of this nation with the people of this present age may see the stone on which many have stumbled, and the rock which hath broken to pieces unfaithful men once in authority, who instead of protecting, did persecute the people of God, when they had the high places of the earth in possession, and that these present rulers may take warning betimes, least they stumble at the same rock, and while they have opportunity they may rather become as nursing-fathers to the flock of God within these dominions, by giving due encouragement to tender consciences, and men fearing God as in matters of religion / and this is directed unto you by a subject of the King of Righteousness, Tho. Salthouse.	Salthouse, Thomas, 1630-1691.	1660 (1660)	Wing S471; ESTC R13989	18,411	26

A Candle lighted At a Coal from the ALTAR Whereby the KING and RULERS of this Nation with the People of this present Age may see the STONE on which many have stumbled and the ROCK which hath broken to pieces unfaithful men once in Authority who instead of protecting did persecute the People of God when they had the High Places of the Earth in possession And that these present Rulers may take warning betimes least they stumble at the same Rock and while they have opportunity they may rather become as Nursing-Fathers to the Flock of God within these Dominions by giving due encouragement to tender Consciences and men fearing God as in matters of Religion And this is directed unto you by a subject of the King of Righteousness THO. SALTHOUSE Zeph. 1.12 And it shall come to pass that I will search Jerusalem with Candles and punish the men that are setled upon their Lees that say in their hearts The Lord will not do good neither will he do evil London Printed for Thomas Simmons at the Bull and Mouth near Aldersgate 1660. THE Vision of all hath been as the words of a Book sealed which could neither be read by the learned nor unlearned for no man in Heaven nor in Earth was found worthy to open the Book and to loose the Seals and to read thereon but the Lyon of the Tribe of Judah that root and off-spring of David who hath prevailed to open it and darkness hath covered all the Kingdoms of the world and all the Kindreds of the Earth for many ages and generations and the Great Whore arayed in Purple and Scarlet colour and decked with gold and silver and pretious stones hath had her seat upon the waters which is multitudes and peoples and tongues and languages having in her hand a golden Cup filled with abominations and with the filthiness of her fornication and with her the Kings and Inhabitants of the Earth have committed spiritual fornication and have drunk of the Wine of her fornication and they have given their power unto the Beast and the false prophet who maketh War against the Lamb and his followers and they have drunk the blood of the Martyrs and Saints and have by their Lawes compelled all both free and bond high and low rich and poor to receive that mark of the Beast and to bow down and worship his Image but the faithful witnesses that had the Testimony of Jesus and the Word of God who could not for Conscience sake bow to the Image of the Beast nor receive his mark have they slain in the streets of that great City spiritually called Sodom and Egypt where our Lord Jesus Christ also was crucified by the Princes of the Gentiles who did not know him and by force and violence in these last dayes and perilous times since there hath been a departing from the Faith once delivered unto the Saints have the Princes of this world exercised Lordship over the heritage of God by compelling and forcing people ignorantly to worship the unknown God in the Idols Tempels under pains and penalties of banishment burning stigmatizing stoning to death imprisonment and the like and all the penalties inflicted upon and sustained by the Servants of God and Saints of the Most High hath been by vertue of Authority derived from the higher Power or from men in holy Order as they have been stiled so that all the persecution of tender Consciences and of the Prophets and Saints about Religion and Religious exercises have been and may justly be charged upon the higher Power and holy Church so called and all that have been cast into Prison for the Testimony of Jesus and the Word of God hath been in the name of the higher Power and all that have suffered the spoiling of their goods and the loss of liberty and estates for not putting into the hireling Priests mouths hath been by the higher Powers as in the behalf of God and holy Church and many have suffered for these things as it hath been said in his Highness his name in this last time of Apostacy in which the day hath been dark over the Prophets that they have not had any Vision or Answer of God nor Revelation from him but have denyed Revelation and immediate Inspiration and have been in darkness and blindness as in the land of the shadow and death by whose instigation cruel yokes of bondage have been imposed upon the Israel of God in this long night of darkness and confusion but in patience have we waited for him whose coming was prepared as the morning and in answer to our earnest expectation in an acceptable time when there was none to help the Arm of the Lord was made bare to bring Salvation And now the Everlasting Day-star hath appeared and the God of all the Families of the Earth is bringing a remnant of Righteous Souls out of that Egyptian darkness which hath covered the whole earth in the time of Antichrists Reign and from under that thick vail which hath been spread over this and all Nations hath the Lord delivered a People that sometimes were walking in darkness and wandring from Mountain to Mountain in the night of Apostacy as old Israel did in the cloudy and dark day like sheep without a shepherd and as Israel after the flesh was delivered from their great bondage and hard servitude in outward Egypt and Babylon even so hath the Lord called and by his own Arm gathered his People out of spiritual Egypt and Babylon where they long mourned in desolation under the power of a strange King and cruel Task-masters and this people are fully perswaded in their minds not to return back into Egypt again but to travel on through the Kingdoms of Edom the borders of Moab until they come to the promised Land which is purchased to be a possession and peaceable habitation for them and their off-sping from generation to generation And this people whom the Lord hath called out of darkness into his marvellous light are a dispised people mis-represented to men in Authority as diverse in their Lawes and Customs from all other people and they are reproached with that name of distinction which is the Object of their adversaries indignation being reproachfully called Quakers because they tremble at the Word of the Lord and walkes humbly before him and since the time that the Lord hath appeared for our Salvation and Deliverance out of darkness bondage and captivity and since we set our faces towards Zion the City of Truth we have been tryed with cruel mockings bonds and imprisonments and we have born the reproaches of Moab and the revilings of the children of Ammon yea both Gabel Ammon and Ameleck have set themselves in opposition against Gods peculiar treasure and the uncircumcised in heart and eares Ashur and the Philistians hath joyned with them to help the incestuous children of Lot in their cruelty persecution and opposition against the Lords Servants those weak things of the world
