A34984	An alarum sounded in the borders of spiritual Egypt vvhich shall be heard in Babylon, and astonish the inhabitants of the defiled and polluted habitations of the earth. And the power of the Prince of Darkness called into question; and he himself examin'd by the truth, how he came to raign over mankind; and how long his time shall be, till he comes to be cast out of his dominion, and the creature be deliver'd from under his tyranny; to serve God in spirit and in truth, as Christ, the prince of peace, has order'd them. Also the number of him whom the world hath wonder'd after, found out; and demonstrated to be near at an end: and withal, that it is no wayes unlawful, nor in vain, both to hope, and to expect the utter desolation, and destruction of sin in this life, and the setting up of perfect righteousness in the souls of men, where sin has too long raign'd. Written in a testimony to the truth, and against the false position of the devil, and his servants; by a servant of God, Steven Crisp.

in_o he_o and_o that_o state_n he_o do_v not_o call_v happy_a or_o bless_a as_o these_o blind_a professor_n do_v at_o this_o day_n that_o take_v up_o a_o rest_n in_o this_o state_n and_o say_v they_o can_v never_o be_v redeem_a out_o of_o it_o for_o he_o speak_v of_o such_o a_o condition_n cry_v out_o for_o deliverance_n call_v it_o a_o miserable_a condition_n which_o plain_o show_v that_o his_o

if_o it_o be_v finish_v then_o there_o be_v no_o more_o to_o run_v and_o if_o the_o fight_n be_v fight_v then_o the_o enemy_n be_v no_o more_o alive_a as_o they_o be_v when_o sin_n live_v and_o
