A70699	Behold you rulers, and hearken proud men and women who have let in the spirit of the world into your hearts, whereby you are lifted up in the earth, hear what truth saith	Naylor, James, 1617?-1660.	1660 (1660)	Wing N265; ESTC R891	5,025	12

behold_v you_o ruler_n and_o hearken_v proud_a man_n and_o woman_n who_o have_v let_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o world_n into_o your_o heart_n whereby_o you_o be_v lift_v up_o in_o the_o earth_n hear_v what_o truth_n say_v you_o have_v gain_v riches_n and_o you_o seek_v worldly_a glory_n a_o evil_a covetousness_n to_o yourselves_o and_o these_o idol_n be_v set_v up_o in_o your_o heart_n to_o be_v worship_v you_o rage_n and_o wonder_v why_o the_o child_n of_o light_n will_v not_o worship_v your_o god_n you_o have_v set_v up_o and_o fall_v down_o before_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o world_n in_o you_o so_o you_o be_v angry_a but_o why_o be_v you_o so_o blind_a to_o think_v that_o such_o who_o have_v deny_v to_o bow_v to_o the_o same_o spirit_n and_o pride_n in_o themselves_o and_o have_v through_o the_o cross_n obtain_v power_n from_o above_o to_o cast_v out_o the_o same_o doll_n out_o of_o their_o own_o heart_n and_o can_v they_o bow_v to_o they_o in_o another_o nay_o the_o day_n be_v come_v and_o the_o child_n of_o light_n have_v find_v the_o live_a god_n to_o worship_n and_o there_o be_v none_o beside_o he_o to_o we_o and_o now_o in_o vain_a be_v the_o idol_n preach_v we_o can_v worship_v with_o you_o however_o you_o be_v torment_v it_o be_v of_o god_n to_o famish_v the_o world_n idol_n and_o he_o alone_o will_v be_v worship_v who_o be_v mighty_a to_o save_v what_o have_v we_o to_o do_v any_o more_o with_o idolatry_n pride_n can_v save_v we_o nor_o can_v the_o world_n glory_n preserve_v in_o the_o hour_n of_o temptation_n though_o we_o shall_v how_o thereto_o we_o can_v trust_v in_o uncertain_a riches_n nor_o may_v we_o take_v counsel_n at_o silver_n or_o gold_n flock_n or_o herd_n we_o have_v prove_v your_o idol_n and_o know_v what_o be_v in_o they_o and_o we_o have_v find_v they_o destroyer_n and_o not_o saviour_n whatever_o your_o glory_n promise_v you_o who_o most_o seek_v it_o we_o know_v in_o its_o right_a hand_n be_v a_o lie_n flattery_n and_o falsehood_n and_o all_o who_o love_v it_o come_v short_a of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n humility_n be_v our_o glory_n and_o he_o be_v our_o saviour_n who_o say_v learn_v of_o i_o for_o i_o be_o lowly_a and_o you_o shall_v find_v rest_n for_o your_o soul_n and_o this_o we_o have_v prove_v and_o we_o find_v his_o word_n truth_n and_o all_o loftiness_n a_o lie_n so_o have_v find_v the_o truth_n the_o truth_n have_v make_v we_o free_a free_a from_o pride_n free_a from_o vainglory_n free_a from_o that_o spirit_n that_o put_v it_o on_o and_o will_v have_v it_o worship_v free_a from_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o gentile_n who_o exercise_n lordship_n in_o that_o nature_n which_o be_v out_o of_o the_o light_n and_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n so_o the_o truth_n have_v make_v we_o free_a in_o that_o liberty_n we_o stand_v fast_o and_o may_v not_o be_v entangle_v again_o with_o your_o yoke_n of_o bondage_n nor_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o gentile_n and_o than_o you_o say_v it_o be_v our_o pride_n and_o stubbornness_n and_o many_o such_o accusation_n you_o cast_v on_o we_o alas_o what_o darkness_n be_v this_o and_o how_o have_v you_o lose_v your_o judgement_n what_o be_v mordecai_n become_v proud_a than_o haman_n with_o you_o be_v he_o proud_a who_o deny_v to_o worship_v pride_n and_o he_o that_o will_v be_v worship_v free_a be_v not_o this_o to_o put_v light_n for_o darkness_n and_o darkness_n for_o light_n to_o condemn_v the_o innocent_a to_o hide_v the_o offender_n come_v down_o to_o that_o of_o god_n in_o your_o conscience_n and_o let_v that_o judge_n and_o let_v pride_n be_v see_v and_o ashamed_a where_o it_o be_v and_o than_o you_o plead_v scripture_n and_o say_v let_v every_o soul_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o high_a power_n and_o be_v subject_a to_o every_o ordinance_n of_o man_n for_o the_o lord_n sake_n etc._n etc._n now_o this_o we_o say_v also_o and_o own_o the_o scripture_n but_o man_n pride_n be_v not_o the_o high_a power_n in_o humility_n we_o find_v a_o power_n above_o pride_n high_a than_o oppression_n high_a than_o man_n will_n high_a than_o the_o lust_n of_o the_o eye_n yea_o high_o than_o all_o that_o in_o man_n will_v exalt_v against_o it_o so_o we_o deny_v the_o low_a that_o we_o may_v subject_v ourselves_o to_o that_o which_o excel_v which_o be_v ordain_v of_o god_n and_o to_o every_o ordinance_n of_o man_n be_v we_o subject_n for_o the_o lord_n sake_n but_o shall_v we_o bow_v to_o the_o spirit_n of_o pride_n we_o shall_v betray_v the_o lord_n and_o give_v his_o honour_n to_o another_o and_o that_o be_v not_o for_o the_o lord_n sake_n and_o what_o be_v against_o he_o for_o his_o sake_n we_o deny_v and_o with_o he_o suffer_v under_o it_o as_o witness_n for_o he_o against_o it_o so_o we_o give_v caesar_n his_o due_a and_o honour_n to_o who_o it_o belong_v but_o all_o glory_n and_o worship_n to_o god_n alone_o to_o who_o it_o be_v due_a but_o you_o say_v that_o worship_n we_o plead_v for_o be_v civil_a not_o religious_a but_o where_o do_v you_o read_v in_o scripture_n of_o civil_a worship_n we_o find_v honour_v all_o man_n in_o the_o lord_n and_o that_o which_o be_v in_o the_o lord_n be_v religious_a and_o that_o which_o be_v not_o in_o the_o lord_n be_v idolatrous_a be_v there_o any_o thing_n honourable_a in_o man_n but_o the_o image_n of_o god_n which_o be_v spiritual_a he_o that_o worship_v where_o that_o be_v not_o worship_v the_o beast_n or_o that_o which_o be_v worse_o the_o devil_n and_o if_o any_o bow_n to_o that_o of_o god_n in_o man_n how_o come_v it_o not_o to_o be_v religious_a and_o yet_o you_o say_v for_o conscience_n sake_n and_o not_o religious_a so_o your_o distinction_n will_v not_o gain_v worship_n from_o they_o who_o know_v god_n and_o his_o image_n and_o the_o beast_n and_o his_o image_n in_o their_o several_a appearance_n and_o by_o this_o be_v they_o know_v for_o ever_o he_o that_o be_v from_o above_o seek_v not_o honour_n from_o man_n but_o that_o honour_n which_o be_v of_o god_n alone_o god_n presence_n in_o he_o make_v he_o honourable_a in_o the_o heart_n of_o all_o that_o love_v god_n so_o god_n give_v he_o grace_n and_o glory_n and_o honour_n but_o the_o other_o must_v have_v none_o from_o god_n who_o abide_v not_o in_o that_o which_o be_v honourable_a and_o so_o become_v as_o the_o beast_n seek_v honour_n by_o force_n from_o such_o as_o he_o have_v power_n over_o and_o rage_n if_o he_o can_v have_v it_o and_o this_o nature_n have_v no_o right_a to_o it_o though_o the_o false_a prophet_n join_v with_o he_o to_o plead_v for_o it_o who_o must_v into_o the_o lake_n together_o and_o all_o that_o worship_v the_o beast_n and_o his_o image_n must_v drink_v of_o the_o wine_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n pour_v out_o without_o mixture_n as_o say_v the_o scripture_n so_o you_o that_o be_v in_o place_n to_o rule_v and_o seek_v for_o honour_n seek_v first_o that_o which_o be_v honourable_a and_o none_o can_v hold_v you_o from_o honour_n and_o know_v it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n only_o to_o such_o as_o honour_v he_o and_o not_o themselves_o seek_v that_o glory_n and_o honour_n that_o have_v immortality_n and_o eternal_a life_n which_o be_v obtain_v of_o god_n by_o continuance_n in_o well_o do_v seek_v humility_n that_o go_v before_o honour_n exalt_v justice_n set_v up_o righteousness_n and_o truth_n in_o judgement_n hold_v forth_o god_n sword_n to_o all_o people_n under_o you_o and_o not_o your_o own_o will_n without_o respect_n of_o person_n than_o you_o honour_v god_n and_o he_o will_v honour_v you_o seek_v first_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n that_o he_o may_v rule_v in_o your_o own_o heart_n over_o your_o pride_n over_o your_o passion_n over_o lust_n over_o covetousness_n over_o respect_n of_o person_n and_o over_o all_o unrighteousness_n so_o shall_v you_o set_v up_o the_o high_a power_n in_o you_o for_o every_o soul_n to_o be_v subject_a to_o which_o that_o of_o god_n in_o every_o

bind_v every_o conscience_n and_o soul_n in_o subjection_n to_o your_o authority_n which_o all_o that_o resist_v receive_v damnation_n to_o themselves_o and_o this_o be_v religious_a and_o a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o receive_v not_o its_o honour_n from_o man_n but_o from_o god_n alone_o who_o have_v ever_o honour_v holy_a man_n and_o woman_n that_o rule_v for_o god_n with_o god_n as_o you_o may_v read_v in_o the_o scripture_n who_o never_o need_v to_o seek_v it_o from_o man_n while_o they_o retain_v god_n but_o saul_n when_o god_n wa●_n
