is accepted of him and because of this thou CAIN art wroth and by thy persecuting with long imprisonments even unto death the righteous thou thinkest to overcome or by thy acts for banishment but CAIN that will not do it s not thy acts which will affright them nor drive them from the Lord or the enjoyments of his presence for CAIN it s neither walls nor Seas which can separate them from the presence of their God which they now enjoy but it s thy sin CAIN which hath separated between thee and thy God SURELY CAIN if thou hadst offered sacrifice which had been righteous would not the Lord have accepted it Yes sure then what need would there have been to persecute about it but CAIN thy sacrifice is unclean and not accepted therefore thou art wroth and persecutest thy Brother which is an infallible token against thee that thou art out of the truth CAIN because thou art found persecuting and killing about sacrifice and worship those that cannot for Conscience sake bow to any graven image which thou CAIN hast set up to be worshipped in thy fallen and driven out state from the presence of God and this is the cause CAIN why thou persecutest them because they cannot bow to the likeness of any thing but will worship their God in spirit and truth Surely CAIN thy punishment is great for to thy offering the Lord will have no respect because thou hast killed thy Brother whose bloud cryeth for vengeance well CAIN if thou believest its lawful for to kill and banish all that cannot for fear of grieving God bow unto thy image which thou hast set up Then give us an instance where ever Christ and any of his APOSTLES banished those that would not come to their worship which was in the Spirit and in the truth surely CAIN thou hast no Scripture from Christ or any of his Apostles for it neither can thou give any instance from them by any Scripture nor any other of the true Prophets except thou goest to ISHMAEL PHARAOH and HEROD who successes thy spirit CAIN for HEROD sought the young Childs life and PHARAOH persecuted the Children of Israel till the hand of the Lord turned against him and drowned them all in the SEA and this was about sacrifice and worship which thou CAIN art found in surely CAIN our God is the same that ever he was he changeth not surely he will recompence thee according to thy doings as well as he did HEROD PHARAOH and ISHMAEL for that spirit of persecution but Cain what hast thou done by all thy long imprisonments or by thy acts of banishment hast thou turned any from the evil of their ways as Christ and his Apostles did who won them by sound Doctrine no none but on the contrary thou wouldst cause them to blaspheme by thy instruments of cruelty but for these things is thy day shortned which is for the Elect sake and a remnant shall be preserved unto God pure and undefiled standing upon the rock on which thou shalt be split and upon the sand shalt thou stick and never remove again for the mouth of the Lord of hosts hath spoken it Given forth from the true fear and dread of the Lord God by one who now suffereth under CAIN PHARAOH and HERODS Spirit for the Testimony of Jesus which is the word of God AND now you persecutors who have this Book to Read Consider it well for your portion it is indeed That have thus fought against the living God Who will confound the wicked with his Rod And you shall feel the stroak of his own hand Who strives to make his chosen dear forsake their native land Wisbech Goal the 14th day of the 6th Moneth 1664.
