and they shall tread upon the High Places of the earth And although I may suffer them to be tryed even as Gold in the fire that they may be purged and purified that their beauty may shine out of obscurity their praise may return unto me yet will I never forsake them my loving kindness will I never take from them but will return unto them in tender mercy and in the midst of the fire will I be with them and my power and my presence shall accompany them and I will plead with all their adversaries consume their enemies and will crown them with dominion in the sight of them that rise up against them Wherefore once more this is a call and a warning unto you to return unto me and to seek me with your whole heart that you may not for ever be a prey to your enemies nor that the rod of the wicked should for ever remain upon the back of the righteous wherefore if you will return unto me and consider of your backslidings an repent of the evil of your former doings I will yet make use of you for my glory and for my own Name sake that this Aegyptian Power even Pharoah all his Host may be overwhelmed that I may cause my righteou● Branch to prosper and to spread and to go over the earth and to give unto my chosen the Land which I have promised unto them even a Land that flows with Milk and Honey Therefore now arise and put on Courage and Boldness and fear not the face of your enemies for though they be many in number yet I am the Lord and all power and might is in my hand And every one of you make war in righteousness against the enemies of your own souls which are within you to wit the lusts that warrs in your members and take the sword of the Spirit which is my Word in your hearts which discerneth the lusts in your hearts and every thought and every intent in your hearts and by this sword shall you become more than conquerors this will cut down your lust your pride ambition and self-seeking your covetousness and your wantonness and all such abomination for which my hand is against you And this my Word is within you and this must purge and purifie you if ever you are purged even that within you which lets you see your abominations which have caused me to hide my face from you and to visit you in judgment and when you have repented of the evil of your waies and are returned unto that which lets you see your self-seeking proud persecuting covetous worldly treacherous deceitful spirit that by the same which lets you see it you may be humbled in my presence and return unto your first love that which first visited you for your sins that by it you may be truly purged and may truly deny yourselvs and not seek the worlds glory but my glory and not your own Interest but the Good Old Cause the Cause of my People That truth and righteousness may flourish in these Nations and that the Land may be swept of evil-doers and that all superstition and Idolatry may be rooted out and all oppression and tyranny amongst people may be clean done away If you thus return unto me in the uprightness of your hearts then will I return unto you and my presence shall be with you and your strength shall return as in the daies of your youth and I will yet prosper you and you shall take root downward and bear fruit upward and your flesh shall be fresh as the flesh of a child and you shall be the joy of many Nations But if you refuse to return unto me and to seek me with your whole heart and to be obedient unto my voice and not take counsel at me but follow the counsel of your own hearts and offer unto me your wonted hypocritical praiers and fastings and your hearts after your covetousness envie pride self-seeking and vain-glory though you may make many praiers yet I will not hear neither will I answer but suffer a lying spirit to go forth amongst you which shall deceive you and speak peace when there is no peace and you shall be lifted up to that end you may be destroied for I will give you into the hands of your enemies and they shall do unto you according unto that which is in their hearts and my loving kindness will I for ever take from you and my habitation will I utterly remove from amongst you and nothing but misery shall attend you even one wo upon another untill you are scattered and driven away confounded and consumed from the face of the earth but my chosen will I deliver in that day I will cover them and I will hide them under the hollow of my hand and my arm shall compass them about because they have chosen me to be their fear and have had regard unto my Word and have walked in my Statutes and observed my Ordinances and have despised the glory honor riches and preferment of this world even for me and for my kingdoms sake for whom I have ordained a kingdom everlasting and eternal where all the power of darkness shall not touch them Therefore take heed unto the Word which I have spoken and no longer be of a proud and perverse spirit nor of an uncircumcised heart but let your ears be open unto reproof that you may learn righteousness that in truth you may be established that my power and my presence may be with you that you may arise as a Lion out of his thicket or as a Giant refreshed with wine That you may plead my cause with the men of the earth that the Whore which hath made all Nations drunk with the cup of her fornications and hath drunk the blood of the Saints and Martyrs that you may give unto her double even blood to drink and that her children may be dasht against the stones for the hour of her judgment is come and great Babylon is now come in remembrance before the Lord and the cup of his fury and indignation is in his hand which shall be powred out without mixture and the dregs there of shall she drink for now is the Angel gone forth with the everlasting Gospel to preach saying Fear GOD and give Glory to Him wherefore blessed and happy shall he be that receives the everlasting Gospel of GOD who are brought into his fear that keeps clean their hearts who gives the glory unto God who do not seek glory unto themselves nor seek honor unto themselves for the Lord God is arisen to stain the glory of all flesh and the loftiness of man shall be abased and the haughtiness of man shall be laid low and the Lord alone shall be exalted For he will overturn overturn overturn until he comes whose right it is and he will give it him for the Kingdom and the Government shall be his for the Lambsday is come and his Kingdom and
