his Government shall be established Though all the powers of darkness rise up against him yet shall the Lamb and the Saints have the victory though Gog and Magog join together in battel against him Therefore be ye warned and take heed of giving your power unto the Beast and the false Prophet for the wrath and vengeance of the Lord is against him and the day of Babylons destruction is near in which all her Merchants that have traded with her shall weep and howl for none shall buy their wares any more saying Alas alas for that great City is faln by which so many were made rich through her Merchandize for now is the Lord arisen to uncover her skirts and to make her shame and her nakedness appear in the sight of all men Therefore be not of a fearful heart but be valiant for the Lord for he will bring mighty things to pass such as your eyes hath not seen nor your ears heard nor hath entered into your hearts to believe for he is working a Work and a Wonder the understanding of the Wise shall be confounded and the Wisdom of the prudent shall be hid for the Lord hath purposed and he will certainly bring it to pass for he hath seen he hath seen the affliction of his people and his eye hath beheld the cruelty of their enemies all their purposes are before him and his soul hath pittyed his remnant and his anger is kindled against his adversaries and the day of their recompence is near wherein he will reward them even as they thought to do unto his chosen and their own mischief which they imagined in their own hearts even with the same shall their ovvn bovvels be filled that as they have thirsted for and greedily desired the blood of the innocent even so shall it be done unto them The Lord hath spoken and it shall surely come to pass And now take heed unto your selves and let the fall of others be a warning unto you and see you build upon a right foundation for there is nothing but truth and righteousness shall stand all other buildings shall certainly be overthrown Therefore in humility and meekness consider with your selves that the Lord hath not left himself without a Witness in the hearts of every one of you that the people who have been despised and hated reproached and cruelly intreated hath not been so dealt withall for any evil that they have done but for bearing a true and faithfull testimony for the Lord against all the pride ambition and vain-glory of this wicked and untoward Generation and against all the superstitious Idolatrous and vain worships and against all the hireling greedy devouring Idol dumb Shepherds and against all the vain heathenish customs fashions and traditions that hath been set up by the will and pride of man contrary to the Scriptures and out of the fear of God and for keeping Christs Command Hath not this been the cause why we have been hated persecuted imprisoned slandered murthered and all manner of evil done unto us because we are not of this world even as he is not of this world but hath chosen us out of the world to bear testimony against the deeds thereof that they are evil Therefore try now and throughly examine the ground and reason of all the hatred evil-speaking and dealing that hath been against us And in moderation and the fear of God without prejudice see wherein our practice is not agreeable with the Scriptures and let not your minds be any longer blinded through an evil heart of unbelief but let the long-suffering of our God lead you to repentance And not by resisting his Spirit to hardness of heart and his righteous judgments overtake you and there be no remedy The 22d of the last Month 1659 JOHN COLLENS LONDON Printed by M. I. for Robert Wilson at the sign of the black-spread-Eagle in Martins l'Grand 1660.
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
