A VVARNING FROM THE LORD to the Teachers and people OF PLIMOVTH c. The word of the Lord to the Teachers and people of Plymouth FEare the living God and repent while you have time hearken to that in your conscience which cryes for equity Is there not something within you that cries for it Oh I listen to it that the bonds of iniquity may be broken that equity which is oppressed in you may go free to serve the Lord for behold thus saith the Lord I have sent my Sons and Daughters from far I have raised up Prophets amongst you I have placed my witness in you which shall stand for ever with or against you But some of my Messengers you have imprisoned and others you have evill entreated what could I have done more for you than I have done saith the Lord But you have rejected all my counsell and slighted the day of your Visitation and would none of my reproof and would not that I should Reign over you Therefore behold thus saith the Lord I will proceed in judgement against you and there shall be none to deliver you out of my hand saith the Lord for in as much as you have rejected my counsell and kickt against my reproof I will reject you I will not hear your prayers for they are an abomination to me and the songs of your temple shall be turned into howling your feasting into fasting your myrth into sadness for your Sabboths and appointed seasons are a burden to me I am weary with them saith the Lord and my soul shall be avenged on such a generation as this is for the Poor is oppressed by the Rich and the cry of the poor is entred into my ear saith the Lord therefore will I ease me of my enemies saith the Lord and avenge me of my adversaties for the great day of the Lord is coming in which you must give an account for what is done in the body whether it be good or evill and he wil plead with you by sword and by fire and he will cut you down O ye fruitless Trees and burn you up root and branch even you which live in pride and earthly mindedness and feed upon daintie Dishes Dives-like Oh remember Dives end and Lazarus who was in Abrahams bosome for the sins of Sodome abound amongst you idleness and fulness of bread it shall be more tollerable for Sodome and Gomorrah in the day of Judgment than for you for if the mightie works had been done amongst them they would have repented Behold I have done a wondrous work amongst you and you see and cannot believe but blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed You cry out for a sign but there shall be none given you for you are a proud stiff-necked and haughtie people but your loftie looks shall be brought down and the Lord alone shall be exalted the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it Howle ye Rich men for the misery which is coming upon you for the rust of your Silver and Gold shall eat you thorow as a Canker and shal rise up in judgement against you Howle ye proud Priests for the misery that is coming upon you for ye shall run to and fro as drunken men and none shall be to pitie you Wo to you that have fed your selves with the fat and cloathed your selves with the wool and the people perish for want of knowledge ye run and I never sent you saith the Lord therefore ye shall not profit the people at all If ye had stood in my counsell ye should have turned many awaie from the evill of his doings but because ye have departed out of my counsel I wil spread dung on your faces yea I have cast dung on your faces alreadie and now the false Prophet rides on the beast but they both shall be cast into the Lake which is prepared for the devill and his angells And wo to all you corrupt Magistrates who are persecuting the innocent the just witness your practise at Exeter Prison it had been better that a Mil-stone had been hung about your necks and you cast into the sea than to have offended one of those little ones Therefore thus saith the Lord I wil be avenged upon you my adversaries though the wicked go on hand in hand they shal not go unpunished Wo to all you covetous Merchants and tradesmen of what sort soever who with faire words deceive the simple contrarie to that in your conscience which shews you should not lie but speak the truth one to another for that is the true Light and the witness of God which testifies against sin and evill and is the condemnation of all such as act contrarie to it Wo to all you covetous Lawyers Drunkards Swearers Whoremongers Adulterers and all that telleth and maketh a lie no such shall inherit the kingdome of heaven Wo to all you that speak evil of things you know not Wo to all you that are separated but not by my spirit and covered with a covering but not with my spirit Wo to all you proud and lustfull ones who feeds on dainty dishes and spends the creation upon their lusts Cumber not the ground ye fruitless trees for the Lord God of life and power is come to judge the world in righteousness and to sweep the Land of evil-doers that the earth may enjoy her Sabboths and tetrible wil his coming be to the wicked to all that are found to act contrarie to that in their conscience for all faces shall gather paleness before him and all mouthes shall be stopt and none shall plead ignorance nor say they knew not that they should not lie swear back bite or be proud for ye know ye should not do so by the Light therefore all people be warned and to the Light return this is the waie to salvation repent while ye have time prise it flight not the daie of your visitation least the Lord pluck ye awaie suddenlie and you go down into the pit and there be no remedie and there be none to deliver you out of my hands And this is the word of the Lord God to you all chuse whether you wil hear or forbear I have cleared my conscience to you that in your consciences shall witness for me eternallie when the book of conscience is opened and shall condemn all you that are contrary to it From one who is a lover of your s●uls and should rejoyce to hear that any of you is turned from the evill of his doings Margret Killin Yee Inhabitants of Plymouth remember and consider this
