Mat. 11. 28. Christ calleth all that are weary and heavy laden to come unto him and he will give them rest And therefore obey the light and come out from your sins take up the cross and deny your wills and forsake your iniquities and touch not the unclean thing and he will receive you and take heed you do not reject the counsel of the Lord God who desires to bring you to salvation for the vision is but for an appointed time and the Lords Spirit shall not alwayes strive with man The tenth Epistle To all Drunkards Swearers Vsurers Extortioners Adulterers and all unclean Persons shewing the heavy Wrath of the living God burneth like fire against such evil Persons and the terrible day of Vengeance is at hand And these are to warn them that they speedily repent before their hearts come to be ript up and laid naked before the mighty and terrible GOD who doth regard no mans Person in Judgement but every one shall receive according to the things done in his Body whether they be good or evil THe Light that discovers sin is Christ and when any evil is committed Gods witness in the conscience is disturbed the just seed lyeth oppressed and then the soul lieth under the wrath of God and who can dwell in his Displeasure And the many sad Judgements that have befallen persons in that condition of drunkenness I think should deter persons from that accursed beastly sin which maketh men that they are like unto the swine as you may see in 2 Sam. 13. 28. Now had Absalom commanded his servants saying Mark now when Amnons heart is merry with wine and when I say unto you Smite Amnon kill him fear not Another president you may see in 1 King 16. 8 9 10. In the six and twentieth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah the son of Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah and reigned two years And his servant Zimri captain of half his chariots conspired against him as he was in Tirzah drinking till he was drunk in the house of Arza steward of his house in Tirzah And Zimri came and smote him and killed him in the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah and reigned in his stead Holofernes being drunk was slain by Judith Noah being drunk his sons mocked him he became a scorn to his Children Lot being drunk committed incest with his two Daughters Benhadad being drunk you may see what a sad loss he came to and how he was discomfited 1 King 20. 16 20 34. David made Vriah drunk and then sent Letters to Joab to have him set in the front of the Battle that he might be slain We ought not to keep company with Drunkards Prov. 23. 20 21. The wo of the Lord of hosts the God of Israel is pronounced against Drunkards Isa 5. 11. VVo vnto them that rise up early to follow Drunkenness and to them that continue until night till the wine doth inflame them for they regard not the work of the Lord neither consider the works of his hands Many more Texts of Scripture might be quoted and many Examples of Gods Judgements against such sinners to my own knowledge as some that have fallen into wells and been drowned some into the Thames some have broke their Necks off their horses some their Legs their Arms sides wasting their pretious time that God hath put into their hands to get wisdom and also ruining their wives and children in wasting and consuming their Estates for a Drunken man is fit to do any wickedness to act any ungodliness and this sad sin is many times committed by peoples drinking of Healths the Devil stealeth upon them and if he can get them to drink Healths he hath them safe enough for of whomsoever a man is overcome his servant he is to whom he is overcome whether it be of sin unto death or of obedience unto Righteousness so he that is overcome by sin is the devils slave And verily my soul doth mourn in secret and my heart doth bleed within me and sorrow doth over-whelm me for some of my dearly beloved Friends that are overtaken by Satans snares in this way of sinning and therefore my desire is to them from the Lord that they would mind the light of Christ in their Consciences which is Gods witness for himself and it will either excuse or accuse acquit or condemne and this being silently and patiently waited in will teach the denying the drinking of healths and will be a means to keep out of this beastly sin that makes persons like Beasts and defaces the Image of God and defiles his Temple and such if they do not speedily repent the Lord will destroy them for he that defiles the Temple of God him will God destroy And your Bodies are the Temples of the holy Ghost And next to this is Swearers for because of Oaths the Land mourneth and The curse shall enter into the house of the Swearer and consume it even with the beams and timber thereof And what a company of sad creatures there is that will swear any thing for advantage in buying and selling in their ordinary course of trading in the world between man and man how for six pence many times they will sell their Faith O let such fear and tremble and repent for without heavenly Jerusalem are all swearers drunkards and all Lyers who have their portion in the lake that burneth with fire and Brimstone And the sin of accustoming a mans self to swearing is reproved Eccles 23. 9. to 24. 17. 14. and Christ Jesus gave this command to all that then were and should be Swear not at all saith Christ and all Controversies may be ended without swearing if the Magistrates would come to the line of true judgement and be guided by the witness of God in them And therefore dear Friends leave off this wicked custome of vain swearing for it neither profiteth the speaker nor hearer but serveth the Devil and bringeth everlasting destruction to the soul And there is a great and most abominable sin committed in and by many that they eat up Gods people like bread they devour them by Extortion and Usury but such must not come to the holy Hill of Sion VVo to them that get fields and houses by violence and oppression and devour the Fatherless and the widdow They are far from the commands of Christ which saith Lend looking for nothing again it is a sin forbidden amongst the Jews Exod. 20. 17. 22. 25.

And it shall come to pass in the last dayes saith God I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh and your sons and daughters shall prophesie and your young men shall see visions and your old men shall dream Dreams and on my servants and on my hand-maids will I pour out of my Spirit in those dayes and they shall prophesie So that every Branch shall be a Joynt or Member of the Mystical Body or several spreadings forth of the Vine being filled with that one Spirit Christ the anointing who filleth all with himself and so becomes the alone King of Righteousness that rules and governes all his ransomed ones Joh. 17. 23. I in them and thou in me that they may be made perfect in one that the world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them as thou hast loved me For I am the Lord and beside me there is no Saviour He is in every one of his little ones that are born again and how is declared Joh. 14. v. 15 16 17 18. If you love me keep my commandments and I will pray the Father and he shall give you another Comforter that he may abide with you for ever even the Spirit of Truth whom the world cannot receive because it seeth him not neither knoweth him but ye know him for he dwelleth with you and shall be in you I will not leave you comfortless I will come to you Yet a little while and the world seeth me no more but ye see me because I live ye shall live also At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father and you in me and I in you He that hath my commandments and keepeth them he it is that loveth me and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father and I will love him and manifest my self unto him if a man love me he will keep my
