idolaters with their idolatry and cursed abominations from the power of darknesse which was too highly exalted and upheld and acted by the great Men of the earth oh foolish people when will you be wise how long will you thus tempt the eternall God Newgate this 26 of the 8th month 59 This is chiefly intended for those in present authority of the chiefest seats of England and for Mayors and Aldermen and Cittizens of London and all the earthly Rulers in throughout the Nations to read themselves be ashamed and to lay aside their heathenish idollatrous customs and to learn the fear of the Lord which is to depart from evill and not hate and persecute such that so fear the Lord the living God and with his spirit reprove sin in the gate and therefore are become a pray as in former dayes to those that rebell against the light and turn aside the needy from judgement The Lord God of wisdome whom I serve in and with my spirit of truth knoweth and is my witnesse that of his pure spirit was I moved not only to write to the 2 Mayors of the Citty of London the next days work being the 29th of the 8th month to stop them of their folly and vanity but in no wise would they receive warning to the vexing and oppressing of the most pure spirit of God manifested and many shall feel the weight of his hand that can span the heavens and fathom over and comprehend the heighth and depth of darkness I say I also was moved to go and bear a testimony for the Lord at the Mayors gate to the face of many of the Aldermen who should be more wise the words which I speak as the Lord moved were these at severall times as the horses and their riders entred within the Mayors gate where I stood saying The Lord God will stain the pride and glory of all flesh the Lord God will stain the pride of all glory as in the days of old the Lord will smite the great men of the earth with astonishment of heart who forget justice and judgement And the Lord God hath a controversy with all that forget the Lo●d his work The Lord will be avenged on the great men of the earth that destroy and devour the creatures and the Creation upon their ungodly lusts and forget to do justice and judgment For which sayings I was buffetted and abused at the Mayors gate by the brutish people and violently dragged and carryed away by Porters and thrown into the Poultery Counter in the inner prison called the hole without Mittimus throw h●m in said the Mayors officer or Ma●shall and let him lye like a Rogue and he was numbered with transgressors and he made intercession for the transgressors loe he was taken from prison and from judgment and who shall declare his generation Isa 53.8 D.
