A62896 An awakening voice to the Papists declaring to them the fallen state of the Pope from Peter's, and of the Church of Rome from what it once was : in love to the souls of those who have any uprightness in their hearts towards the Lord (but through ignorance are held in bondage) that they may be awaked, and see where they lie, and if any shall smother these things, lest they should come to the sight or knowledge of that people, let them take heed, that they bring not upon themselves the guilt of their blood / William Tomlinson. Tomlinson, William. 1673 (1673) Wing T1845; ESTC R10231 20,715 28

but_o quit_v yourselves_o of_o that_o one_o principle_n of_o darkness_n and_o with_o single_a heart_n search_v into_o truth_n as_o the_o berean_o do_v you_o will_v come_v to_o see_v many_o more_o thing_n of_o your_o own_o self_n to_o be_v faulty_a how_o easy_o may_v you_o see_v by_o the_o scripture_n the_o horrid_a blasphemy_n of_o that_o man_n of_o sin_n that_o such_o a_o one_o as_o simon_n magus_n who_o think_v that_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n may_v be_v purchase_v with_o money_n shall_v claim_v so_o near_o title_n to_o the_o unspotted_a pure_a and_o holy_a lamb_n of_o god_n while_o he_o be_v in_o the_o gall_n of_o bitterness_n and_o bond_n of_o iniquity_n delude_v your_o soul_n with_o his_o pretend_a pardon_n for_o sin_n to_o rob_v you_o of_o your_o money_n but_o indeed_o he_o can_v sell_v you_o that_o nor_o give_v you_o that_o which_o he_o have_v no_o power_n in_o many_o other_o thing_n be_v corrupt_v among_o you_o if_o i_o may_v not_o say_v all_o and_o you_o be_v far_o from_o that_o pure_a state_n in_o which_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v at_o the_o first_o at_o rome_n but_o these_o thing_n be_v first_o present_v in_o the_o light_n before_o i_o to_o mind_v you_o of_o that_o if_o it_o be_v the_o good_a will_n of_o the_o lord_n some_o of_o you_o may_v have_v your_o eye_n open_v that_o you_o may_v see_v to_o who_o you_o enslave_v your_o soul_n and_o may_v flee_v

i_o will_v not_o hear_v your_o hand_n be_v full_a of_o blood_n and_o it_o in_o vain_a also_o for_o you_o so_o long_o as_o you_o retain_v your_o bloody_a tenant_n or_o bloody_a thought_n to_o expect_v to_o be_v hear_v of_o the_o lord_n god_n be_v a_o spirit_n and_o they_o that_o worship_v he_o must_v worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n for_o such_o the_o father_n seek_v to_o worship_v he_o joh._n 4.23_o 24._o and_o they_o that_o so_o worship_v he_o they_o have_v a_o better_a helper_n and_o remembrance_n than_o either_o bead_n or_o book_n we_o know_v not_o what_o to_o pray_v for_o as_o we_o ought_v say_v the_o apostle_n to_o the_o ancient_a church_n of_o rome_n to_o who_o he_o write_v rom._n 8.26_o 27._o but_o where_o be_v our_o helper_n then_o not_o from_o book_n or_o bead_n but_o the_o spirit_n help_v our_o infirmity_n there_o be_v the_o helper_n of_o the_o ancient_a church_n of_o rome_n and_o there_o be_v our_o helper_n one_o that_o know_v the_o mind_n of_o our_o spirit_n and_o make_v intercession_n for_o we_o with_o groan_n which_o can_v be_v utter_v there_o be_v the_o helper_n of_o those_o that_o can_v tell_v how_o to_o utter_v a_o word_n and_o their_o

when_o the_o heart_n be_v far_o from_o he_o then_o to_o draw_v near_o he_o with_o the_o lip_n this_o be_v but_o a_o abomination_n before_o he_o and_o to_o offer_v up_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o fool_n and_o so_o your_o bead_n be_v of_o no_o use_n but_o in_o the_o offer_n up_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o fool_n i_o wonder_v that_o you_o yourselves_o do_v not_o consider_v the_o childishness_n and_o ridiculousness_n and_o folly_n of_o they_o they_o be_v so_o ridiculous_a childish_a babble_n that_o they_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v mention_v by_o christian_n who_o shall_v know_v a_o measure_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n in_o they_o to_o teach_v they_o to_o pray_v know_v you_o not_o that_o christ_n be_v in_o you_o except_o you_o be_v reprobate_a reprobate_n to_o every_o good_a work_n but_o i_o shall_v come_v close_o to_o your_o prayer_n then_o your_o bead_n your_o prayer_n themselves_o be_v all_o abomination_n to_o the_o lord_n with_o bead_n or_o without_o bead_n by_o the_o help_n of_o book_n or_o without_o they_o your_o private_a devotion_n or_o prayer_n and_o your_o public_a prayer_n all_o be_v abomination_n to_o the_o lord_n while_o your_o hand_n be_v full_a of_o blood_n and_o your_o heart_n and_o thought_n full_a of_o blood_n your_o principle_n be_v bloody_a your_o practice_n be_v like_o they_o full_a of_o blood_n market-place_n stone_n in_o the_o street_n will_v witness_v against_o you_o that_o you_o be_v a_o bloody_a people_n your_o prison_n your_o inquisition_n will_v witness_v against_o you_o and_o therefore_o your_o prayer_n be_v a_o abomination_n to_o the_o lord_n and_o it_o will_v not_o cure_v the_o sore_a it_o will_v not_o hide_v your_o bloodguiltiness_n to_o say_v they_o be_v heretic_n they_o be_v tare_n that_o we_o cut_v off_o such_o as_o infest_v the_o good_a wheat_n they_o be_v troubler_n of_o the_o church_n and_o it_o be_v no_o sin_n to_o kill_v a_o heretic_n so_o indeed_o you_o be_v teach_v as_o by_o your_o practice_n have_v sufficient_o appear_v to_o the_o world_n but_o have_v you_o never_o read_v what_o christ_n say_v to_o those_o his_o servant_n who_o inquire_v of_o he_o whether_o they_o shall_v pluck_v up_o the_o tare_n or_o no_o math._n 13.29_o 30._o how_o he_o forbid_v they_o say_v nay_o let_v both_o grow_v together_o until_o the_o harvest_n and_o then_o he_o explain_v to_o his_o disciple_n when_o the_o harvest_n shall_v be_v and_o who_o work_n it_o shall_v be_v to_o separate_v the_o tare_n from_o the_o wheat_n the_o parable_n begin_v for_o 24._o and_o end_n with_o ver_fw-la 30._o and_o christ_n own_o explanation_n of_o that_o parable_n you_o may_v read_v from_o ver_fw-la 36._o to_o ver_fw-la 43._o where_o he_o say_v plain_o the_o harvest_n be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o
