A30553	To you that are called Anabaptists in the nation of Ireland teachers and people, who profess your selves to be the Church of Christ; this is the word of the Lord God unto you.	Burrough, Edward, 1634-1662.	1657 (1657)	Wing B6042; ESTC R214915	4,983	7

and evill entreated with mockings and cruell words to your shame for ever may this be rehersed who while you profess a separation from the world are one with it in wickedness as in lieing slandering false accusing reproaching and promise breaking witness at Waterford and else where whose lies and eivill speeches might evidently be declared to your shame and of those with many other of your Abominations which I have seen in you I am a witness against and your Iniquities are not found upon secret search only but openly in all those things hereby in the presents of the liveing God I doe warne you of the righteous Judgements of the Just God who hath seen and taken notice of your hippocrisie naughtyness and desemulation with God and Men and that uprightness which once was in you have you betrayed for selfe ends and earthly intrests have set up your selves in places of honor and are not in the light nor life of God but enemies to the light of Iesus Christ where with he lighteth every man that comes into the world you are out of Church order in the confusion of your own hearts in divers oppinions and not of one heart and minde but stumbles at the light and rejects the foundation and hath hearts and cannot understand your understandings being shut up from the knowledge of the truth gainsaying the Councell of the Lord in your sensuall wisdome and opposing the way of truth to your own confounding witness at Waterford Corke and other places where some of you were taken in your own craftiness to your shame when you set your selves against the Lord and Ioyned your selves with the wicked be came one with the Priests in opposing the life and power of truth as Herod and Pilot became friends in the persecuting of Jesus where you uttered forth much blindness and parverted the Scriptures to your own Confoundings as many can witness now these things I write not altogether to shame you but rather to reprove them in you that you may reade and Consider and repent and may turne from your dead Idoll worship and hippocritticall Teachers and false wayes to serve and worship the Living God in the newness of the spirit and in the power of truth in it selfe and noe more may seeke the Kingdome of God in observances for it comes not with outward observances saith Christ but the Kingdom of Heaven is within you to be revealed in the light and truth in all that beleeve in the light of the world Therefore be cause you are gathered to gether and not by the spirit of the Lord nor in the Light you shall be broken and your Alters of Immittations and vaine Traditions shall be thrown downe and you into Confusion shall be turned for you have the Saints words and practises but the life you are without and the spirit that gave forth the Scriptures you have not received with which the Scripture is only understood but you take on things in your own wills and performes a sacrifice which is not regarded of the Lord How proud are some of you and how vaine glorious and how covetous and selfe seeking of the glory of this world giving and seeking honor of men not like members of Christs body but of an harlot not like them that take up the dayly Cross of Christ or that deny the world but as them that seeke after it and layes up Treasure in it who seekes the praises of men as much as the praise of God And gives and receives honor one of another as the Gentiles and seekes not the honor that comes from God only and so are out of the Covenant of Life and out of the bond of Peace in strife contention and false oppinions and Judgements and out of the power of God in the Forme and Likeness of things without Life professing the Scriptures in the spirit of Error and your Ministry be gets into the forme and not into the power of Righteousness and differs not from the ministry of the world in the ground but is death and reapes not the Life to bring any unto God Woe unto you hippocrits the mighty day of the Lord is coming upon you and your desolation comes as an armed man the witness of God in your Consciences is mine and to it I speake it beares my voyce and shall answer for me and against you in the day of recompence therefore to the light of Christ Jesus which he hath given you turne in your mindes your workes of darkness it will reprove and make manifest and be not stout hearted neither count your selves unworthy of eternall life come downe and sit in the dust and cease from your Idols and from your imitations and lay down your Crownes at the feet of Jesus who is the Light of the world and lighteth every man that comes into the World if you love it you will bring your deeds to it it will let you see your owne Conditions into which you are fallen from the Life of God through disobedience and are in the transgression and not reconciled to God for that enmity stands in you against him above the seed of God the dayly Cross you doe despise and are in your plasures and vanities and knowes not the Covenant of peace and rest where the Saints dwell wherefore bow down your uncircumsised eare to the Light and let the Lord God search your hearts with his Light and it will discover to you the way in which you ought to walke and that which you ought to denie And this Light is your way to Christ and to the Baptisme of Christ where the cleane water is received which washeth a way Sin and the bread of Life is received which nurisheth up unto God and unto eternall Life in the Light you will receive the true satisfaction to your Soules and of the Lord you will receive teaching in the spirit from him who is that Minister of the Covenant of Life and here is your way out of the world and into the pure separation from its wayes and workes and nature into the fellowship of Christ Jesus and one with another which is in the Light and in the truth which noe uncleane thing hath any part in But the Liars and the Proude and the Covetous and the vaine glorious shall have their portion in the Lake that burnes in the Indignation of God Wherefore awake awake ye that sleep in the darke night of Ignorance Heare ye deafe and Looke ye blinde the day of the Lord cometh upon you and the Pretious from the Vile will he separate by his everlasting word of Judgement and in Love to all your Soules This is a warning from the Lord and is the word of the Lord God unto you whether you will heare or forebeare and with the Light in all your Consciences this shall be witnessed when your Judgement is read and remember you are warned in your life time By a friend and Lover of all your Soules but a witness against all your deceits E BVRROVGH
