too narrow which you have got with the Saints words but now your life and practice will be made manifest to many people The day is coming upon you that ye shall be ashamed to make mention of the Name of the Lord your hypocrisie and shame shall so appear that your Beds shall be too short that you shall not stretch your selves upon them and your Coverings too narrow that you cannot be hid from the Wrath of the Almighty which shall be as storm and hail the terrible Wrath of God which will come upon all the unrighteous which takes counsel and not of the Lord you have spurned against him and would have none of his counsel therefore must you bear your own iniquity and it is the just hand of God upon you And that the Lord is fulfilling upon you which he did reveal unto me in a Vision in the ninth Month 1659. That the Church of England should be strip'd naked of all her deceitful Covers and then the tender-hearted people and the sober-minded which looked upon you to be Ministers of Christ and they had been as soft Pillows unto you Teachers to lean upon but whon they shall see your Nakedness and Shame which will surely come upon you then they will turn away from you and from your Worship and then none shall be left you but the worst of people and they shall be as hard Pillows unto you and then shall you fall as Mire in the Streets This was revealed unto me in a Vision in the Spirit of Truth which leads into all truth reveals things to come to those that abide in his counsel and wait that his will may be done in earth as it is in Heaven and in his own time he will fulfil that which he reveals unto his servants for thus it was in the dayes of old the Lord revealed unto his servants the Prophets things that were to come both in words and in signes that when those things came to pass which they declared of then were they known to be the servants of God and as it was then so it will be now and the Lord is hastning the work that his way may be known and who are his people and who are not and then shall deliverance come when he hath made them manifest by his Power who are the Sheep of his Pasture Israel shall know it and the Upright in heart shall rejoyce But Rebels he will bring to distress Oh the mighty work of God which the Lord he is bringing to pass by a foolish people and by them he will vex the Nations that hath rebelled against his Light and will not be counselled by it but runs on in wickedness till your iniquity be found out Then who shall be able to deliver you out of the hands of the living God which will be terrible to all unrighteousness for ye have been sowing to the flesh and of the flesh ye shall reap corruption for you have been as a fruitful field in shew and outside but now the Lord is turning it into barranness because of your wickedness and oppression as it was in the daies of old in Aegypt where the Seed of God then suffered so you are seen to be in spiritual Aegypt where the Seed hath been opprest and the spirits of good men kept under and punished as evil-doers therefore is your Blossom fail'd and your Bud shall be taken away and your Leaves shall fall as in Autume and your Trees shall wither and your Works shall be blasted and then you shall cry Alas how is our Blossom failed and our Bud taken away and Trees withered in one day which we had Planted and delighted so much in and bestowed so much labour upon them Thus will your misery come upon you You have been as Trees full of leaves but they are falling off the Storm from the Almighty wil shake you like as the storm in Winter till your leaves be shaken off and your bowes be rotten with the fierce Wrath of God which will surely come upon you like the Fig-tree wch was curs'd and dryed up by the roots notto bear fruit any more Thus will your deceitfull Merchandize fall and as a Milstone cast into the Sea never to rise again thus will your calamity come and none shall be able to deliver you from that which the Lord hath determined to bring upon you your iniquities hath hid good things from you so you must bear the indignation of the Lord because you have rejected his Counsel and made Flesh your Arm and trusted in the shadow of Aegypt and forsaken the living God and turned into your own Lust Pride and Covetousness which have been abomination to him who is of purer eyes than to behold iniquity and because of your iniquity you must go into utter Darkness if you do not speedily repent and seek the Lord that he might repent of the evil that he hath determined against you because of your wickedness which you have committed against him ye have covered saith the Lord but not with my Spirit ye have run and I have not sent you ye have told people that ye were my Ministers saith the Lord and have deceived the hearts of the simple and through covetousness and with feigned words made Merchandize of the people and so are found out of the Doctrine of the Apostles as your fruit hath made you manifest which will be to your great shame and confusion for you have told people that you were the Ministers of Christ and many people believed you as is was in the daies of the false Prophets so is it seen in the Light of Christ Jesus to be amongst the false Teachers which is erred from the Spirit and teacheth people the Letter and doth not lead to the Spirit which the Ministers of Christ doth lead to which leads into all Truth out of the Error This was I moved of the Lord to discover and make manifest what the Lord hath revealed unto me as is aforementioned of your Nakedness and Shame that all sober people who desires to know the Lord may come to see your shame and nakedness that from you they may come to be led by the Spirit of Truth which leads into all much which ●he Priests are found out of for the day makes you manifest and you cannot be hid from the Wrath of the Almighty ye have long received Nations but now the Lord God will spare no longer he will reward every one according to his work and your self ends the Lord will make manifest and your hypocrisie is made manifest in the Light of Christ to all them that walk in it W. S. Going Naked a Sign OH Church of England This is unto thee who livest in Oppression and Cruelty pride and covetousness a day of misery is coming upon thee thy nakedness and shame is coming upon thee as an armed Man from which no man can hide thee neither Hills nor Mountains shal be able to hide thee in this the Day of the Lord neither shall the Clefts of the Rocks preserve thee from the Day of the Lords Controversie with thee thy nakedness and thy shame is near to come upon thee from it thou shalt not fly Oppression and Cruelty hath been as a Staff for thee but the Lord is risen to break thy Staff of Oppression and thou shalt be left naked though thou hast seemed to be the glory of the Nations with thy deceitful Covers but now thou shalt be left naked and Nations shall be ashamed of thee Howl and weep ye Teachers for the Lord is gathering his people from you and ye shall devour his flock no more The Day is coming upon you that none shall buy your Wares any more ye Merchants of Babylon All your Scarlet colour the Lord our God is coming to take off Then your nakedness shall appear to many Nations and you shall sit as a Widdow and there shall be none to comfort you Distress and anguish shall take hold upon you and pain as a woman in travel and is not able to bring forth so shall your misery come upon you The Decree of the Lord is gone out against all unrighteousness he will surely reward every one according to their works for as a Troop of Robbers lye in wait for a Man so a company of Priests by consent lie in wait to murder the innocent Lambs of God and for their sakes the Lord is risen in his mighty Power to break the bonds of wickedness and to set the oppressed free for the Lord hath heard the groaning of his Seed and he is risen to deliver to bring it out of Captivity and from under the Task-masters where his Seed hath been long oppressed by unreasonable Men But the Lord will spare no longer but he will reward the Oppressors double into their Bosoms and his Seed he will deliver Oh howl and weep your Day is far spent Night is coming upon you that you shall not have a Vision and nothing shall be left to cover you As naked shall you be spiritually as my body hath been temporally naked in many places in England as a sign of the nakedness and shame that is coming upon the Church of England who live in Oppression and Cruelty and all who lift up a Weapon for her shall fall in the shame with her which will surely come to pass So all sober people consider your waies and turn to the Light which comes from Jesus that with it you may be gathered unto the Lord from the false Teachers to the teachings of the Lord from the false worships to the worship of the Lord in Spirit and in Truth For a necessity was laid upon me from the Lord God of life power to be a sign But before I was given up to the thing it was as death unto me and I had rather if it had been the Lords will have died than gone on in this service but when the Word of the Lord came unto me saying Go on and prosper It was sweet unto me as the honey and the honey Comb. And blessed saith Christ are they that hears my Word and keeps it WILLIAM SIMPSON The End LONDON Printed for Robert Wilson at the sign of the Black-spread-Eagle and Wind-mill in Martins Le Grand 1660.
