A78562	A narrative plainly shewing, that the priests of England are as truely Antichrist (who got up since the dayes of the Apostles) as the pope and his clergie denying Christ to be both a king, a priest, and a prophet; : with a serious warning to the Parliament not to uphold and maintain them by a law, under any pretence whatsoever ... / By one who ... hath escaped the snares of sin and deceit, and bin [sic] brought ... into His pure fear, known by the name of John Chandler.

of all repent and be humble and come to the Light which leads the way into Gods Kingdom which stands in Peace Righteousnesse Purity Holinesse and Joy in the Holy Spirit so waiting and seeking for this Kingdom in the light out of their own Wills and Wisdoms and the Lord by his providence will surely provide for them and theirs for there is enough in the Creation for every one with contentment And love is with the Saints who know allought to be fed and nourished in an honest upright and just but not in an unjust way and therefore can they not pay them in the way they are in one six pence willingly though 't were to the losse of all Besides Oh ye Rulers doth the Lord God say any where that Babylon should be a whit the more spared for Merchants Wives and Childrens sakes What is a worldly Interest to the glory of God and the Salvation of Souls Wherefore lay ye aside I advise you these and all such slavish objections for they will not justifie or excuse your actings before the Throne of God or answer to that of God in your consciences which calleth for Justice Righteousnesse Holinesse and Equity And ye people of the Nation consider that it is not a leight thing that ye are deceived deluded and captivated by the Priests and salse Prophets so as to believe lyes for saith the Apostle the man of sin should come with all deceive-ablenesse of unrighteousnesse in them that perish who because they received not the love of the Truth that they might be saved therefore God gave them up to strong delusions to believe lies that they all might be damned who believe not the Truth but have pleasure in unrighteousnesse Mark People the man of sin the Spirit of errour which worketh in the Mystery of iniquity deceiveth with all unrighteousnesse and those who have pleasure in that unrighteousnesse but love not the truth are suffered to beieve lies that they all may be damned Oh lamentable Little do people think what Coals of Indignation they heap upon their own heads that hate the light that reproveth their evil deeds and deceit and yet call themselves Christians that plead for the Priests the Beast and the Whore and Idol-worships and sin as long as they live hating revising deriding and persecuting the Saints who stand as Witnesses with Christ the Light against all these things Heate also what John saith Revelations 13. which Book is a Prophesie of these times saith he All that dwell upon the Earth shall worship the Beast whose names are not written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the Foundation of the World if any man hath an ear to hear let him hear where by he sheweth that its a thing of great concernment for people to consider who they worship fear obey and serve whether God or Man and his Laws and Will lest they are for ever excluded from and never enjoy a part in eternal life But perhaps people ye will say what is it to worship the Beast or his Image or likenesse For we scarce know what thou meanest To worship the Beast or his Image is to do whatsoever the false Antichristian Powers of the Earth shall command you to do and obey in the faith and service of God so as ●f they command what Religion people should professe what manner or form of worship they shall use in their Steeple-houses what they shall do against the Saints and Servants of the Lord c. they are ready like Issachar who bowed down his back to the burden to observe the same not minding or considering what the light of Christ in their consciences tells them or leads them unto and whether it be pleasing or displeasing in the sight of God so that if the Magistrate will have them keep a Fast they keep it or a natural day for a Sabbath they will observe it or to hear Praying in their Steeple-houses first then Reading then singing of a Psalm then Praying again then Preaching in the Priest's dead form then Praying again and then a Blessing so called on the People they readily do and hear all and so in other things though out of the life of God in which all Sacrifices should be offered up and not moved thereto by the Spirit of God Or if the Magistrate command any of them to hale the Saints to prison or otherwise punish them they will do it saying In all such things we are commanded by the higher Powers and therefore we must obey This People I declare is to obey Man rather than God yea grievous Idolatry for the Lord saith in every one of you Thou shall have no other Gods but me now what a man serveth and obeyeth that is his god so the Lord all this while is forgotten who is the higher Power and man an empty nothing-Creature obey'd which must needs kindle his holy anger against all such Idolaters for he hath said His glory will He not give to another nor His praise to any graven Image now People that is not onely an Image which is made of Wood or Stone but whatever created thing any sets up in his heart to serve or obey besides or more than his Creator These sayings are true and faithful Therefore fear and tremble all people before the Mighty God who made the Heavens and the Earth and all that is therein who gives man his being upon the Earth time and means to come out of his fallen and cursed estate by disobedience which meanes is by his Son Christ the second Adam who is made a quickning Spirit to all that receive Him who is the true Light that enlighteneth every man that cometh into the World whereby they may see their evil thoughts words wayes works and have Power by believing in the light to overcome the evil with good that so the evil being forsaken and the good cleaved unto they by the power beauty thereof may be transformed into the pure Image of God which was lost by the Fall whereby the whole Creation hath bin brought out of order that so peace reconciliation with their Creator they may come to feel in themselves which is a most happy and blessed condition for this I bear my Testimony unto before all Nations upon the Earth that they can never come to enjoy peace with the Living pure Lord God of Life in whose favour is Life any further than they come out of sin and transgression and feel their hearts purged and cleansed from the filth thereof for the Lord is pure and holy who can behold no iniquity without reproof where-ever he finds it So that it s but in vain for any one to talk or think of justification by a Christ without and not to feel his living vertue purifying their souls by his good spirit within them but denying it there for none but the pure in heart ever did or ever shall see the face of the pure God Wherefore ye people of England let not the Priests deceive you any longer with their too ●●row coverings and with the pillows they have so long sewed under your arm-holes for lucre-sake whereby ye have been lulled asleep in a wicked security thinking your selves good Christians if ye have but kept your Church as ye call it which to the Peoples understanding hath bin no more but a Steeple-house which is like the Papists and had an outward conformity of Religion though out of the power of godlinesse living in all manner of sin and licentiousnesse for now is the Lord risen to awaken the Earth having put life into his witnesses again who cannot but Prophesie and testifie against the World that their deeds are evil though they suffer unto death therefore as some of the Lords servants have within this few years done that so the Lords purpose in raising them up may be accomplished which is to gather his precious seed which shall inherit the promise of life and to lay the wicked and disobedient under eternal condemnation for the Gospel of the Kingdom is like a Net cast into the Sea which having gathered and drawn to shoare both the good and the bad the good are received into Vessels and the bad are cast away So righteous Abel and his offering is accepted but Cain the wicked one envious and murderer is rejected and is but a Vagabond though he build a City for the day of the Lord burns and shall burn as an oven and all the proud yea and all that do wickedly shall be stubble and the day cometh that shall burn them up that it shall leave them neither Root nor Branch but unto those that fear the name of the Lord shall the Sun of Righteousnesse arise with healing in his wings and they shall go forth and grow up as Calves in the Stall and they shall tread down the wicked for they shall be as ashes under the soles of their feet as already they appear to be FINIS
