A43753	To all the inhabitants of the earth this is sent as a warning from the Lord, vvho hath been long grieved with a sinful and an adulterous generation; but against the fulness of transgression hath prepared vialls full of wrath to cast upon the head of wicked and ungodly men. Here is also the vain traditional worship of both priest and people (in short) plainly made menifest to all those that art not willing to remain in ignorance, which for many years hath overspread the whole world; but now is the son of righteousness arising, which discovereth all deceivers and deceivableness, and causeth the lowly, meek and innocent to understand wisdom. Written by a servant of the Lord, who is known to you by the name of John Higgins.	Higgins, John, 1633-1667.	1658 (1658)	Wing H1952C; ESTC R215938	6,721	10

who_o have_v be_v the_o teacher_n of_o this_o people_n who_o for_o filthy_a lucre_n have_v deceive_v their_o soul_n teach_v for_o doctrine_n the_o tradition_n of_o man_n daub_v the_o people_n with_o fair_a word_n because_o they_o put_v into_o your_o mouth_n but_o he_o that_o do_v not_o you_o even_o prepare_v war_n against_o he_o and_o peace_n you_o say_v to_o the_o rich_a and_o judgement_n to_o the_o poor_a in_o spirit_n and_o so_o the_o word_n be_v not_o divide_v aright_o but_o truth_n be_v turn_v backward_o for_o the_o way_n of_o unrighteousness_n and_o you_o through_o your_o learning_n and_o art_n have_v be_v idolise_v many_o day_n but_o now_o your_o flattery_n be_v see_v and_o your_o learning_n be_v come_v to_o nought_o and_o your_o unrighteousness_n will_v be_v make_v manifest_a to_o the_o eye_n of_o all_o people_n that_o have_v be_v deceive_v therewith_o and_o all_o your_o righteousness_n and_o unrighteousness_n be_v sin_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o your_o reward_n shall_v be_v according_o therefore_o all_o both_o priest_n and_o people_n consider_v of_o your_o way_n and_o amend_v your_o life_n for_o very_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o be_v mock_v although_o for_o a_o time_n he_o may_v be_v silent_a for_o all_o your_o assembly_n and_o pretend_a worship_n be_v abominable_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n while_o you_o continue_v in_o the_o abomination_n of_o the_o heathen_a and_o all_o your_o performance_n be_v but_o the_o tradition_n of_o man_n perfome_v in_o a_o customary_a way_n in_o ignorance_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o live_a god_n who_o you_o say_v you_o serve_v but_o the_o wild_a scornful_a nature_n know_v not_o the_o lord_n of_o glory_n and_o how_o can_v you_o serve_v he_o who_o you_o know_v not_o yet_o be_v you_o nourish_v your_o

concerning_o that_o which_o you_o call_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o the_o order_n in_o your_o church_n now_o see_v from_o who_o you_o have_v your_o exampel_v for_o it_o be_v altogether_o contrary_a to_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o all_o generation_n the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n bear_v testimony_n to_o what_o i_o say_v and_o thereby_o let_v your_o

the_o ignorance_n that_o be_v yet_o remain_v in_o the_o earth_n but_o this_o be_v know_v and_o confess_v that_o water_n baptism_n be_v once_o the_o administration_n of_o john_n who_o bare_a witness_n to_o the_o true_a christ_n and_o say_v that_o be_v the_o true_a christ_n which_o enlighten_v every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n who_o by_o his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n put_v a_o

in_o truth_n but_o you_o be_v so_o far_o from_o the_o power_n and_o life_n of_o that_o administration_n that_o you_o be_v not_o in_o the_o true_a form_n and_o manner_n of_o it_o though_o you_o false_o say_v the_o scripture_n be_v your_o rule_n and_o the_o apostle_n practise_v your_o example_n but_o sprink_v of_o child_n be_v never_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n but_o the_o invention_n of_o

and_o fighter_n and_o proud_a person_n sing_v all_o with_o a_o voice_n they_o be_v not_o puff_v in_o mind_n but_o as_o harmless_a as_o a_o wean_a child_n and_o such_o like_a word_n be_v utter_v in_o the_o blasphemous_a spirit_n without_o a_o understanding_n in_o the_o anti-christian_n ignorance_n so_o that_o this_o be_v abomination_n to_o the_o lord_n and_o not_o to_o his_o praise_n but_o david_n be_v as_o a_o wean_a child_n even_o harmless_a and_o innocent_a he_o can_v sing_v to_o the_o praise_n of_o the_o lord_n with_o a_o understanding_n according_a as_o the_o spirit_n give_v he_o

priest_n to_o require_v or_o people_n to_o give_v they_o so_o much_o a_o year_n even_o the_o ten_o part_n or_o near_o of_o the_o increase_n of_o the_o field_n and_o of_o the_o labour_n of_o

to_o the_o apostle_n it_o be_v that_o which_o the_o prophet_n of_o the_o lord_n always_o cry_v against_o as_o you_o may_v read_v isa._n the_o 56.11_o micah_n 3.11_o so_o that_o for_o this_o example_n there_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o false_a prophet_n and_o not_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o true_a prophet_n and_o apostle_n but_o by_o they_o such_o be_v ever_o cry_v out_o against·_a and_o now_o i_o exhort_v all_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n god_n to_o mind_v the_o light_n of_o christ_n jesus_n in_o your_o conscience_n make_v manifect_a all_o unrighteousness_n and_o condemn_v

this_o i_o say_v that_o their_o word_n and_o your_o belief_n so_o long_o as_o sin_n regius_fw-la will_v be_v little_a worth_n in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n for_o he_o that_o be_v not_o lead_v by_o

manifestation_n of_o his_o spirit_n in_o the_o heart_n and_o conscience_n will_v accuse_v eternal_o therefore_o silence_n all_o vain_a talker_n and_o hireling_n and_o deceiver_n who_o feed_v yourselves_o and_o not_o the_o flock_n against_o who_o the_o lord_n have_v a_o great_a controversy_n and_o he_o will_v plead_v with_o you_o in_o judgement_n then_o shall_v all_o the_o earth_n know_v that_o the_o lord_n send_v not_o his_o message_n by_o the_o learned_a wise_a and_o prudent_a man_n of_o this_o generation_n who_o will_v ●●clude_v all_o other_o from_o the_o ministry_n and_o these_o be_v they_o that_o follow_v the_o error_n of_o balaam_n who_o err_v in_o go_v after_o gift_n and_o reward_n and_o this_o be_v the_o error_n of_o the_o priest_n and_o false_a prophet_n in_o these_o day_n who_o for_o love_n of_o the_o reward_n speak_v peace_n where_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v to_o rest_v so_o that_o this_o be_v not_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n which_o they_o
