A42756	A warning and visitation to the inhabitants of Godalming All you that read this, be not rash, but weigh it right with the true weight, and the even ballance, the ballance of the sanctuary, and then you will not judge amiss of it; for it is not in hatred or reproach to any, but in love to all souls, in plainness and truth. And you inhabitants of Godalming, be warned, and seriously consider of this visitation; for the spirit of the Lord yet strives with you as with the old world, but they not taking warning, were drowned: therefore prise your time, and despise not the reproof of instruction, for such are brutish; but reprove or instruct a wise man, and he will love thee; reprove a scorner, and he will hate thee; but the reproof of instruction is the way of life to the wise; and a wise man will hear and increase in wisdom: be calm therefore, and learn of the light which is the way and the truth. T.P.	Gill, Henry.	1658 (1658)	Wing G742A; ESTC R219870	5,512	8

for_o there_o be_v no_o unclean_a thing_n can_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n then_o what_o will_v you_o do_v in_o the_o dreadful_a day_n of_o the_o lord_n when_o all_o heart_n shall_v be_v make_v manifest_a and_o every_o secret_a thing_n bring_v to_o light_v then_o what_o will_v your_o be_v call_v christian_n avail_v you_o so_o long_o as_o you_o be_v out_o of_o christ_n for_o in_o he_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n for_o he_o that_o commit_v sin_n be_v of_o the_o devil_n therefore_o if_o you_o commit_v sin_n be_v you_o not_o of_o the_o devil_n and_o do_v his_o work_n consider_v in_o

yourselves_o be_v your_o work_n wrought_v in_o god_n or_o do_v you_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v sin_n wrought_v in_o god_n or_o be_v not_o sin_v the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n destroy_v in_o you_o yea_o or_o nay_o if_o nay_o than_o christ_n be_v not_o come_v to_o you_o to_o work_v in_o you_o and_o for_o you_o for_o he_o come_v and_o come_v for_o this_o very_a purpose_n to_o destroy_v the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n but_o they_o be_v not_o destroy_v in_o you_o who_o continue_v in_o do_v they_o and_o christ_n the_o saviour_n you_o do_v not_o witness_v therefore_o what_o good_a do_v your_o false_a prophet_n do_v you_o be_v not_o the_o scripture_n fulfil_v on_o he_o and_o you_o which_o say_v they_o shall_v not_o profit_v the_o people_n at_o all_o because_o they_o stand_v not_o in_o his_o counsel_n and_o you_o may_v see_v you_o be_v not_o profit_v at_o all_o therefore_o why_o will_v you_o spend_v your_o money_n for_o that_o which_o profit_v you_o not_o see_v the_o lord_n have_v say_v so_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o his_o prophet_n jer._n 23._o you_o may_v read_v and_o search_v scripture_n and_o see_v whether_o you_o follow_v the_o

not_o he_o pray_v to_o his_o own_o condemnation_n and_o you_o with_o he_o who_o do_v not_o forgive_v one_o another_o their_o trespass_n but_o sue_v they_o at_o law_n so_o like_o priest_n like_o people_n so_o be_v it_o at_o this_o day_n they_o make_v people_n light_n vain_a and_o wicked_a as_o the_o scripture_n say_v and_o the_o scripture_n can_v be_v break_v and_o as_o the_o wicked_a

as_o they_o do_v in_o former_a day_n such_o who_o be_v in_o the_o same_o practice_n have_v the_o good_a word_n and_o fair_a speech_n to_o deceive_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o simple_a o_o that_o you_o will_v consider_v these_o thing_n before_o it_o be_v too_o late_a for_o what_o will_v you_o do_v when_o the_o body_n come_v to_o die_v then_o will_v you_o wish_v you_o have_v keep_v the_o law_n and_o the_o light_n which_o be_v the_o schoolmaster_n to_o bring_v to_o christ_n for_o than_o shall_v you_o know_v that_o god_n have_v not_o leave_v himself_o without_o a_o witness_n in_o you_o which_o do_v testify_v against_o evil_n and_o will_v have_v lead_v you_o out_o of_o evil_n if_o you_o have_v turn_v your_o mind_n to_o it_o and_o give_v up_o free_o to_o be_v guide_v by_o that_o in_o your_o conscience_n which_o testify_v against_o all_o evil_a before_o it_o be_v act_v so_o if_o you_o love_v your_o own_o soul_n turn_v your_o mind_n in_o to_o the_o light_n which_o check_v and_o reprove_v and_o no_o long_o rebel_v against_o the_o lord_n which_o reprove_v you_o and_o come_v out_o of_o iniquity_n for_o why_o will_v you_o die_v your_o blood_n will_v be_v upon_o your_o own_o head_n and_o i_o shall_v be_v clear_a when_o you_o be_v judge_v for_o do_v you_o believe_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v well_o with_o the_o wicked_a that_o you_o harden_v your_o heart_n against_o the_o lord_n nay_o the_o wicked_a shall_v be_v turn_v into_o hell_n and_o their_o prayer_n he_o will_v not_o regard_v do_v you_o think_v god_n will_v be_v mock_v any_o long_a with_o your_o vain_a oblation_n or_o do_v you_o think_v that_o you_o may_v join_v with_o the_o wicked_a and_o not_o partake_v of_o their_o sin_n or_o do_v the_o drunkard_n or_o liar_n worship_n god_n if_o you_o say_v nay_o then_o come_v out_o from_o the_o steeplehouse_n and_o leave_v the_o priest_n and_o drunkard_n alone_o together_o and_o be_v no_o long_o deceive_v by_o he_o you_o call_v your_o minister_n because_o he_o have_v the_o good_a word_n and_o fair_a speech_n to_o betray_v the_o simplicity_n in_o you_o but_o he_o have_v make_v himself_o manifest_a for_o every_o tree_n be_v know_v by_o his_o fruit_n therefore_o if_o he_o bring_v forth_o evil_a fruit_n he_o must_v be_v a_o evil_a tree_n consider_v his_o fruit_n be_v covetousness_n lie_v and_o cast_v into_o prison_n this_o be_v manifest_a wickedness_n such_o as_o no_o true_a prophet_n or_o apostle_n do_v and_o no_o minister_n of_o christ_n ever_o do_v cast_v any_o into_o prison_n for_o their_o belly_n nor_o such_o do_v not_o cry_v peace_n to_o the_o wicked_a as_o you_o do_v neither_o do_v they_o tell_v people_n that_o they_o can_v not_o be_v free_a from_o sin_n here_o as_o priest_n now_o do_v for_o they_o that_o the_o son_n make_v and_o make_v free_a be_v free_a indeed_o john_n 8._o 36._o then_o they_o be_v liar_n that_o say_v none_o can_v be_v free_a from_o sin_n here_o for_o if_o not_o here_o in_o this_o life_n than_o i_o say_v never_o shall_v for_o
