J. P. (John Perrot), d. 1671?	1658 (1658)	Wing P1619; ESTC R26208	8,574	13

men living in the ease and lust of the flesh the Lord God will hasten iudgement upon the earth Now consider search and see ponder it and lay it to heart that you may know what you have waited for that you may understand whether you have waited and sought for the true thing to come to pass that henceforth ye may seek aright else you may all waite till your limbs fails you and your eyes perish in their holes and in the end you fail of the expectation and fulfilling of your vain conceptions and blind imaginations wait therefore in spirit in humility of heart that Immanuel the light of the World Iesus the Messiah by whom ye are lightened ye may come to know and feel the power of his light in your consciences by it leading you out of all your sinnes and iniquities which is Satans bond the Devils chain of darkness linking you together in hard-heartednesse and binding you in the lusts ceremonies customes and traditions of blindness and ignorance thereby ruling in your minds and spirits Isa 28. that knowing him ye may also know by him the breaking of the bonds of Hell and the disanulling of the Covenant which is made with death and ye set at liberty in life and spirit to serve the Lord God of life who is a spirit and of purer eyes than to behold iniquity or countenance sinners in their evil wayes in the uprightness of your hearts and integrity of your souls Hab. 18.1.13 that ye may be made unto him the praise of his name throughout the whole earth according to his promise that so ye may discern and feel the curse removed and taken from you which for many ages past hath stood upon the heads of the generations of your forefathers and remains unto this time upon you untill the eye of your minds which the God of this world hath blinded be opened by the Messiah Isa 42.7 which is come and coming to open the eye of the blind and to give the simple an understanding to discern the day of redemption and to be made partaker of his hour of salvation which is held and hid in a mystery Isa 35.8 who is appointed for a way and to be a high way for the ransomed of the Lord such as the wayfaring men though fools shall not erre therein Oh how do I mourn Oh how do I travel as in pain and great grief and sorrow for your sakes O ye Iews reading seeing and feeling that darknes which is over your hearts even the same which was and is in Egypt Spirituall Sodom and Egypt even such thick darkness as may be felt Oh why do ye yet in your hearts seek murther Why say and contend ye for more blood Seeing the slaughtered Lamb is already come whom you say is to come and not yet come for if he were to come whom I declare in the name of the Lord is already come behold your generation are to be his slaughterers and the shedders of his innocent blood for the fulfilling of the Prophets that by the offering of his blood once for all he may for ever perfect them whom God sanctifies read Isa 53 Chapter which is fulfilled and see how far you put your selves from salvation by seeking yet cruelty and murder in your hearts which your unbelief and wilfulnesse is the ground of How many signs would ye have ye have heard how many were shewed unto Pharaoh yet would not he let Israel go free and will ye have ●oel 2.31 or do ye seek greater then the Sun to be darkned and the Moon not to give her light and the Stars of heaven to fall and is not this manifest unto thousands And cannot you yet read within Will you say that you believe all that the Prophets have written Or can you say so and speak truth whil●sty you have not that spi●i● by which the Prophets writ forth the Scriptures Or could your Fathers understand the writings of the Prophets who wickedly persecuted and slew the Prophets Nay nay Behold this is the word of the Lord unto you all Iesus the Messiah hath cast his Rod before Pharaoh the Prince of darkness in you and it is become a Serpent which woundeth you in secret I speak unto you that have any sense or the least feeling of God and it devours your rods yea and will eat your life and will bring all the plagues of Pharaoh upon you forasmuch as your unbelief is but his sin un●ill destruction unto death as a flood overwhelms you exept ye repent that God may be intreated for you And know ye that God hath been long suffering and now sheweth his mercy in this visitation of his love unto you shewing you the Messiah which is come and hath lightened you and is the light of the Gentiles also Isa 49.6 Isa 60.1.13.19 that he may be the salvation of God unto the ends of the earth Of a truth from this ye cannot be hid neither can ye in righteousnesse deny but that ye are lightned with the light of the world which is Immanuel the light of the Gentiles which also enlightneth the understanding of the Iews Isa 42.6 else could not the Iews unto this day understand that Moses was a Prophet of the Lord for he was and is the same even the word from the beginning which God said unto Moses is nigh thee in thy mouth and in thy heart which shewed him the Law to be nigh and not to be sought for from a strange Land by which the children of Israel were condemned for their sins so that the guilt thereof stood upon their heads from year to year as in like manner the guilt of your transgressions stands unto this day upon your heads which your sacrifices cannot clear you in your consciences from for it is impossible that the carnall things can make satisfaction unto infinite Iustice which standeth over and measureth all transgression and therefore saith the Prophet Mic. 6.6 7.8 VVherewith shall I come before the Lord and bow my self before the high God shall I come before him with burnt offerings with calves of a year old VVill the Lord be pleased with thousands of Rams Or with ten thousand Rivers of oyle Shall I give my first borne for my transgression the fruits of my body for the sin of my soul He hath shewed thee O man what 〈◊〉 good and what doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly to love mercy and to walk humbly with thy God In this ye are all concluded with the great idolaters of the earth and with the Arminians and heathens also they have their Images without that is to say beads crosses pictures vessels and herein the Iews in the nature are also one with them who have their Synagogues and Vessels and Offerings and knows not him whom you imagine you make offerings unto and these are offerings of strange fi●e unto the Lord for which cause God hath not regard unto your services Ier 2.3 for your Fathers forsook the Fountain of living mercies in their dayes and then he sp●ke by the mouth of his Prophet Isa 1.11 12 13 14. saying who hath required these things at your hands your solemn meetings are abomination unto me And ye are now in the same footsteps of your forefathers in the corrupted way of sin and blind path of hard-heartedness and unbelief and yet ye say ye worship God aright and furthermore this is your great sin and dangerous evil as other professions have their abominable Idolatries in the shew without your Idols are set up in your hearts Ezek. 14.4 and ye put the stumbling block of your iniquity before your face read diligently with true understanding Isa 8.14 15. and marke your stumbling offence and fall And with you in the same nature all the Protestants Presbyterians Independants Baptists Seekers Ranters and the rest called Christians in generall do worship although you and they are all divers in the Traditions of your and their Fathers in the manner of the practising your services yet in the substance you are but one that is to say Cains nature ruling in you all who offered a sacrifice and killed the just in him he killed just Abel without him and that nature which murdered Abel without him slew the just within him and so your severall words and diversities of opinions which stands but in the shadow is not at all that which makes a difference in the ground and substance being all but in one nature of transgression and way of the ungodly in unrighteousness and you cannot one stain or spot another or take glory unto your selves over another seeing the best of all your sects upon the face of the earth are but speckled beasts and parti coloured birds and not one of you all are come into the way of the promise of God which is come to pass wherein the ransomed of the Lord shall onely walk and no unlean thing can tread therein And as for us who are the remnant of God and his seed gathered to his honour praise infinite endlesse everlasting glory all ungodliness and wordly lusts our life abhors and we are the redeemed of the Lord through the purchase of the blood of Immanuel the light with us and in us by which we are kept in the pure fear of the Lord God eternal to spread his name among you unto whom also the promise is that the seed shall be gathered God hath began in the north Islands to perfect his praise throughout the earth and because the Lord hath redeemed us from Nations Kindreds Countries tongues and people we are despised of all Nations both Iew and Gentile and of the scornful people of our own Nation England are called Quakers who are the Servants of the Lord in spirit This is written by an upright tender
