whole Earth Friends these things have been wonderfully revealed and made manifest unto mee from the Lord God Almighty in so much that I have often times been made to tremble before the living God in the seeing and beholding thereof And Verely true it is the Lord God Almighty is just in bringing thee O King of England with others in over your enemies it being according to his revealed word in and unto me long before it came to pass And as true it is that God the Lord of Hoasts is a rewarder of every man according to his or there workes and deeds done in the flesh wheither they be good or evell And wheither canst thou O Man O King flye from the presence of the Lord God Almightie Lord of Lords and King of Kings Verelie I knovv not vvheither thou canst flye from the presence of the great God for fly whethersoever thou wilt God will follovv thee vvith his judgments untill the measure of thine iniquities are full This have I seen and the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it unto me Forther I have in the light of God seen terrible and dreadfull things that shall come upon the Earth some of vvhich are not as yet lavvfull for me to utter but vvhat is lavvfull and layd upon me to signifie unto thee and unto the children of men I have and shall freely doe it marke therefore vvhat followeth I have often times seen acertain number of men nigh thee O King of England I say I have certainly seen a number of men nigh thee O King severall times in consultation counselling thee to doe the things that are not good neither in the sight of God or man viz consulting together hovv they with thee might rid thy Territories and Dominions so called of an innocent harmeles quiet peacable people that hurt you not nor vvill they harm any body Though the bloody minded of all sorrs doe goe about to make thee O King and others believe other ways of us But my God vvill Ere long revvard all such with the evell of there ovvne doings For there vvill yet be greater tribulations upon the Earth then ever Also I have in the light of the Lord seen great Lightnings and Thunders that shall be the tirribleness thereof shall make both men and beasts affraid insomuch that they shall not know what to do nor whither to goe to hide themselves from the presence of the Almighty I have also seen other dreadful and tirrible sights vvhich shall be seen upon the Earth such things when they come as will amaze terrifie and confound many of them that believe not in the living God For Signes and Wonders there must be for a while that so the unbelievers may believe and know that Gods Word is true which he hath spoken in these last dayes by his Servants and Prophets Now in this Book is part of Englands dome to come Demonstrated Therefore do I once more according to the Requirings of God made manifest in and unto me beseech you the Povvers and People of that place not to harden your hearts any longer least more of you become as Pharoahs And do not you blind guids of the Earth Hirelings of any sort go about any longer to make your Masters and People believe that there are no true Prophets novv upon the Earth for in your vvillfullness darkness blindness and ignorance of God and of his misteries Christ being unto you a misterie I say in your ignorance and blind Zeal you have hitherto gon about to make both the Povvers and People of the Earth believe a lye and you have insenced both the People Povvers of the Earth against the Children of Light Servants and Prophets of God vvhom God hath raised up to bear testamony unto his name and truth as it vvas in the begining and it vvould have been better for you if you had not so doné sure I am if the Testamony of Jesus be the spirit of Prophecy as I both knovv believe it is Then God hath many true Prophets novv upon the Earth who have and do in Gods Name Authority Power and Strength Prophecy yea and they have foretould you the People Priests and Powers of England c. what would come upon you part whereof is already come to pass and the remainder is comming and such dare not Preach Lies in the Name of God and Christ as the false Christians blind Guides and Hirelings of the Earth do vvho Preach for Hire and Divine for Money and so Ride both Povvers and People even to Death And now had not the Lord God Almighty given such his servants 〈…〉 of things to come they durst not have so spoken and vvrote as they have Novv vvould the former King Povvers Priests and People of England but have believed that vvhich vvas said unto them from God by his servants vvho vvere Inabled both to speak and write unto them sure there had been no more Innocent blood spilt after the first War in England was ended but they vvould not believe nor take council of God by his Children but in stead thereof they to wit the greatest and vvisest of them vvould do as many Great Mighty Wise and Noble novv do laugh jere scoffe at them vvhich God had inabled comanded to speak to them vvho from God did positively fore-tell them of their ruine destruction as they do of yours novv if you repent not and turn not unto God For there vvill yet be greater trouble upon the Earth then ever vvas Also there vvill be Earth-quakes in some places of the World that vvill svvallovv up many if not vvhole Countries Farther there vvill be a Nation born in a day These things hath the Almighty God given me a perfect and clear fight off as if they were already past vvith many more vvhich as yet I have no Authority nor command from on High to publish but this my God and Father hath already assured me that whatsoever of it shall make for his Glory and for his Peoples good he will in his ovvn time give me povver and strength to declare it and for that vvhich doth particularly concern some men I shall in Gods time faithfully signifie it unto them Novv blessed are the Mercifull for they shall find Mercy in the day which is nigh at hand when God will poure forth the Vials of his wrath judgment and Indignation upon the disobedient for Gods determination is so to do also God is staining the Glory of all flesh that so none may glory any more in the flesh but in the Lord aloan who is Head over all Now judgment is not only begun at the House of Gōd but it is gon and going forth against Sathan and his Instruments every where and all such as are found in Rebellion and Disobedience against God shall have no true comfort rebellion against God being as the sin of witchcraft say for all such as shall be found in this iniquity of rebellion against God and in truth and
him let us always pray and ever more rejoyce and now take heed all ye my dear Friends Bretheren and Sisters of negligence and of slothfullnesse in business and of drawing back from the service of the living God into wayes of sin and perdition for if any so doe the Lords soule will have no pleasure in them Therefore have a care my deare Friends and so run that you may obtaine for there is a victory but it is in God in which victory there is a conquest over sin death hell and the grave and a continuall living in and an Abyding with God as in the begining yee and in a more unutterable and glorious state then Paradice O my tongue cannot declare the glory endlesness and unutterablenesse thereof The whole is the glory of God and that through mercy I have and doe injoy a measure off and had I the tongue of men and Angels I were not able to declare the whole its endless and Fathomless yea its past finding out But the babe of glory that 's faithfull shall live in and abide in it here and for ever world without end And in this life is the glory honour and renown that God will cloath his withall and in time he will make all his as the Lillie which doth neither toyle nor spin but yet doth grow up and Prosper Oh what shall I say my tongue is not able to express the infinit glory that is in God for all them that love and fear his holy glorious name and now the burthen that I have on me for the whole creations deliverance is unknown for my bowels and all that is within mee do earn after yee after all them that do hunger and thirst after the righteousness of the living God that so they may all be brought into the knowledge and enjoyment of the one onely true way and into that sheepe fold vvhich is the light Christ vvhich leadeth into the life of God that 's Eternall immortall and everlasting for God is the vvay the truth and the life also there is a care in mee that none be lost and a sympathy and fellow feeling in me of some that through negligence c. are apt to draw back from the service of the living God in the sence and feeling thereof God hath inclined my heart and moved me to write these Letters c. and commanded me to send them forth amongst you the sonnes and daughters of men that so your rejoycing may be in the Lord over all Friends these are dayes of tryalls and of Winnowings and siftings that so the Temples of God may be made clean and may no more be defiled nor any Mony-changers suffered to dwell or abide therein for all that defileth the Temples of God must be whipped and scourged out for that will God destroy yea all that letteth must be taken out of the way also all that worketh or maketh a lie for greedy gain and filthy lucre That so God may be as he is all and in all unto them that truly know love feele and feare his holy blessed and glorious name Therefore my deare friends Brethren and Sisters and all others that would be accounted Christians learn to know and do the will of God which is Sanctification in the cross unto all that is not of God And now let all such as profess themselves to be wisdoms children walk in the light in all things as he to wit Christ is in the light that so you may all Iustifie wisdom and thereby manifest your selves to be the children of the most high in deed and in truth Christians indeed like God and Christ Then shall the mouth of iniquitie be stopt you shall see feel and know God exalted and exalting himselfe in you over all that 's humane and setting himself in you upon the top of all mountaines And then shall you know feel and see God reigning and ruling in and over you his temples not made with hands for ever and ever also you shall then know him to lead guid govern teach and direct you in every thing you doe distinct from Satan and then Satans workes will be known unto you as they are unto God a Loathing and an Abomination And though as yet some of you have not known witnessed nor felt God so to reign and rule c. in and over you yet God will in patience posess your soules Therefore in the light of God say I againe wait and be still that at all times you may know and heare the voyce of God in you from Satans and feel the power of God in you that resisteth evill and the Appearances and motiones thereof for that onely will make the evill one to flie It 's God Emmanuel God with and in us Then shall you be kept alive in God and in perfect peace whose mindes are stayed on thee O God of life light strengh power and glory yee in that peace and dominion over all deceit that passeth all understanding which will continually keep your hearts and mindes alive in the knowledge and love of God Amen so fare ye well This Letter was written the latter end of the Sixth moneth 1662. and sent from farre with the rest of these things into England From him that 's yours in him that 's ever lasting God blessed for ever and ever world without end Amen Emmanuel Israelite The name of the Lord is now as well as of old a strong Tower the Righteous flye into it and are safe A Few Lines more for thee O England and for thy lofty ones in thee and for all others of thine inhabitants also for the inhabitants of the whole Earth Friends THe Lord God Almighty hath in these latter days raised up Prophets as of Old to tell you and to foretell you what have and vvill befall you as it hath befallen them that vvent before you yet many of you that are now alive and in power will not hear nor believe them no more then they would that went before you nor vvill you obey the word of the living God nor hearken too nor hear his voice as you ought to do but you will harden your hearts as they of Old did in the wildernesse vvhen your Fathers tempted him But because many of you novv in England and Else-where will not believe the word of the Lord out of the mouthes of his servants and Prophets but are Curious and unbelieving what the Prophets and servants of the Lord have already said unto you should come Therefore hath the Lord God Almighty suffered signes miracles and wonders upon the Earth and in the Ayre both lying ones and true and all this is to convince you that are unbelievers of the great Judgments of the Lord God that are nigh at hand come and coming amongst and upon you the Inhabitants of the Earth And as Nebuchadnezzer Belshazzer and Darius Kings of Babylon did even so have some great ones amongst you in England done viz. sent for Astrologers Southsayers Socerers and
peace-breaking and in blood-guiltiness persecution sin superstion Idolitry shall have but little quiet for God hath determined vvonderfull things to be And these things herein called Englands dome hath been from God often times signified unto me to be that which vvill surely come upon Englands Inhabitants so sure vvill they come as that which is allready past for none shall hinder the decree of God Now vvhen the Lord God Almighty first began to open these things unto me great vvere his mercies and infinit was his loving kindnes in and unto me insomuch that if I had the tongue of men and Angels I were not able to express and declare it I being but as a child and one as vvith a stamering tongue hath in the strength of my God 〈◊〉 made manifest vvhat God hath at present required at my hands this being written from the requirings of God the latter end of the yeare 1661. I say this called Englands dome vvas then vvritten but the other things vvere vvriten at other times Novv the mightie vvonderfull and povverfull appearances of the Lord God of Wisdom were such in and unto me for days and nights that had not God in his mercy and goodnes tovvards me borne up my Spirits I had then laid dovvn the body for vvhen God thus opened revealed these things in and unto me and gave me thus to behold see his great and Glorious presence I then had a cleare sight of all these things herein mentioned and then even then I beheld and savv dreadfull and terible things that the vvicked of the Earth should in a little time more be found doing of against the Godly further the Bloodsheding misery Calamity and confusion that in the light of God I then savv coming not only in upon poor England but else where vvould make the stoutest Kings Princes Priests and People of the Earth there harts to tremble and quake to behold and see it as I have done And this sound of the Spirit of God have often passed through mee O what would I do to save this people So that through mercy I can truly say testifie to the vvhole world that God is good to Israel unto them that obey him are of a pure and upright heart also that this Gods wonderfull dealings vvith me is not for naught for in the middest and deapth of all our tribulations suffrings and aflictions that vvee the People of God and sheepe of our Fathers pasture may yet meet vvith all I say from God that in the hight of all our enemies fury towards us God the Lord of Hoast vvill deliver us his poor innocent and oppressed ones that abide and trust in him these things hath my God opened and perfectly shevven unto me againe and again yea and sealed them unto and in me to the end that I should publish them unto the sons and daughters of men that so all the People of God on earth may be comforted yee and be made to abyde stedfast and unmoveable allvvays abounding in the vvorke and service of God in the middest of our greatest suffrings And novv vvhile the vvicked doe vvalke on every side and the vildest of men are exalted let us the People of God be ever more found doing our Fathers vvill one Earth as it is in Heaven and as much good to our enemies as vvee can for in our so doing our God and Father vvill be vvell pleased vvith us and he vvill delight himselfe in us to the perfecting of his praise for us and by us And for all you Kings Princes Rulers Preists People and Povvers of the Earth of the Earthly mind Flatter not your selves any longer and suffer not your selves to be deceived and flatred withall fauned upon by your high Priest blind guids for such doe but sevv pillows of downe under you vvhich vvill deceive both you and them at last I say deceive not your selves nor them that you have povver authority over But turne you unto the light of God vvhile you have a day and time and ceace from sin you little and lofty ones of the Earth and do good and be yee all found in Moderation and in the vvorks of holines rightousnes peace and truth for the Lords sake other vvayes it vvill goe very hard with you all I doe assure you And novv vvhosoever you be that shall be found in the path of righteousnes peace and truth and in vvell doing also in moderation it may then be trulie hoped that such people doe knovv that the Lord God Almighty is nigh at hand to judgment for sin And for all you Kings Rulers and people that shall be found in the exercise of the things that are good you shall have true comfort therein and the tryal of your faith and patience in your so doing vvill be of much more comfort unto you then all your Earthly crovvns yea then al your gold honour that perisheth now that true honour which cometh from above is first pure then peacable it is also gentle and easy to be intreated it is also full of love good vvorks and vvhat not that is of good and of honest report and sure I am that all they that live in this moderation be they Kings or others they must needs knovv good from evill and avoid the one and love the other And novv friends did you but knovv vvho it vvas that came from Bozero vvith his Garments rouled in blood sure you would tremble for he it is that is come and comming to judge the Earth yea to judge both the quick and dead or did you but consider as vvell as knovv that some men for sheding of innocent blood have already payed deare you vvould then seace from blood and never do iniquity more Novv doe you not knovv that blood is a crying sin and that the cry thereof hath often reached unto Heaven And hovv God remembreth it and that he vvill be avenged thereof Have you forgotten that God judgeth amongst the Gods and do you not knovv for vvhat God hath cast dovvn some and raised up others and hovv he giveth the Kingdomes of men unto vvhomsoever he pleaseth and that he is no respector of persons and vvill you yet go on in your sins sure you that Rule over men ought to be kinde loving mercifull and just I say unto you vvhosoever you be that thus hunger and thirst after innocent blood God vvill give you blood to drink again at last bring you into confusion vvoe missery torment and trouble for there is innocency in many vvho thirst not after blood and vvrath in the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the vvorld on their behalfe and God my God vvill in a little time more manifest it and make it apeare unto all thevvorld And then you that have seen this Testimony vvill say that this vvas a plaine and faithfull vvarning as vvell as a loving invitation foresight and 〈◊〉 for the healing of the Nations and People of the Earth especially them of England And now I tell you in England c. make vvhat confedracies you vvill vvith in your selves vvith Death and Hell that tends to blood the Lord God omnipotent God over all vvill reveale and discover it God in his own time vvill blast you it that shall be found therein Also make vvhat conjunctions confedracies you vvill vvithin your selves and vvith other Nations vvho are infatuated as vvell as you it shall all be for the fullfilling and accomplishing of these things herein spoken off and treated on Friends novv learn to knovv that God is he vvhich maketh all things manifest Therefore wait patiently in God all ye children of light and be still and think not much any of you at your sufferings for God beholdeth it and taketh care of all you that trust in him For through suffrings must redemption come Also knovv if any shall say he or they hath a Revelation or Prophesie and commeth in the name of the Lord and speaketh falsly the Lord God will reward such with the evil of their own doings therefore let no man destroy such also if any man shall draw back from the service of the living God my soul saith God through me shall have no pleasure in such let no man therefore now neglect to do the service and requirings of God Friends I say again wait patiently in God and see what a fevv yeares more will bring forth and be not impatient but watch and pray that can and as it is said before so doe And now take no care when you or any of you shall be had before Kings and Princes for his name sake or before other Rulers for the Lord careth for you and remember that it be the patient and the meek that do and shall iuherit the Kingdome that cannot be removed in which Kingdome is the Crownimmortall which fadeth not away its Gods Kingdome And for thou O King of England let this folowing Counsell be acceptable vnto thee amongst the rest Break thou of thy sins by Righteousness and thine Iniquities by showing mercy unto the poore if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillitie But if thou shalt yet goe on in the fullfilling of thy lust and in suffering the truly Inocent peaceable people of God to be worrowed brused abused and beaten a while Longer as they have bin As heavey a hand from the Lord God Allmighty will fall upon thee and them that cause such Greiuious and abominable things to be don as hither to hath bin don and Inflicted upon Gods pore babes Lambs and little ons As ever fell upon King Nebuchadnezzar Belshazzer or Darious For Great Babelon is still in Remembrance before the Great God of heaven and Earth whose reward is nye for all There Creueltyes don unto the saints and people of God The End
