A66861	The rock of ages known, and foundation of many generations discovered after this long and dark night of apostacy, which shall never cover us again, because of the anointing, and though darkness may cover the nation, and gross darkness the people a little season, yet the Lord shall be unto his people and everlasting light, and their God their glory : also a prayer that the Lords people may be preserved to the end : also a few words to the King, and his council from the everlasting counsellor and Prince of Peace : also the Lords testimony against all persecutors of the innocent lambs of Christ, in whose light the nations of them that are saved must walk, and against all forms of worship whatsoever, taught by the precepts and commandments of men, which themselves are not led and guided by the spirit of the Lord : also a few words in answer to the last book of common-prayer / this is written in the fear of the Lord, and in the counsel of the everlasting counsellor, whose name is the Lord of Hosts, in Humphry Wolrich.	Wollrich, Humphry, 1633?-1707.	1661 (1661)	Wing W3298; ESTC R15328	12,166	18

them again I bear my Testimony and it is the Lords Testimony against all Forms of Worship Forms of Prayer and Confessions of Sins that are out of the life and power of Godliness being only taught by the precepts of men and not led thereunto by the pure eternal Spirit of the Lord I do witness against it all as a vain Worship and in the sight of the pure holy God abomination O England in vain dost thou worship thy fear towards me saith the Lord is taught by the precepts of men and yet thou layest it not to thy heart O England what hast thou been fighting plotting and swearing so many years for a Reformation dost thou not yet consider wilt thou yet be so blind as not to see that the Kingdom of Christ will not be set up with carnal weapons O turn ye turn ye to the Spirit of the Lord that by your fighting swearing and destroying one another hath been grieved O that will show you what ye are doing against the Lambs of Christ which saith Swear not at all Love your Enemies Pray for them that persecute and despitefully use you that ye may be like your heavenly Father O King and Parliament Council let all your Wise men of understanding consult this matter Was this the Lords way with you when he brought you in to the Government was it not in peace did not his love and strange acts towards thee O King almost perswade thee there should be no persecution in thy Dominions Why art thou drawn aside against the Lords Heritage that can neirher plot fight nor swear either for or against any one O consider thine own Promise Newgate in London hath above two hundred Prisoners that have lived hitherto peaceably men with their wives and little children in stinking holes by vertue of a late Proclamation set forth in thy Name to the wasting and ruine of many Families which will lie as a burden upon thee if thou lay it not to heart All this is done against the Lords People even against a People whom he hath blessed in this Generation and chosen for his peculiar Treasure in whom he delights to walk and dwell and all that rise up against them wil he rebuke for their sakes as he rebuked Kings in the dayes of old saying Touch not mine Anointed and do my Prophets no harm for them hath he chosen for a Peculiar People and a Royal Priesthood and People in whom he will be glorified O the eternal love of our heavenly Father O the ancient Hils the Hill of the Lord which is everlasting is known again to be what all the holy men and Prophets declared it to be O that men would praise the Lord for his goodnesse and for his wonderful works to the children of men Who is a God like unto our God or a Rock save the Lord Happy are the People that have the God of Jacob for their shield who hides them in the hollow of his hand that fear him and carries them in his everlasting arms of love so that their strength is renewed daily and in their many tribulations they faint not for in our hearts hath the pure eternal God shined forth and the Creator of the ends of the Earth hath made known himself unto us so doth his love shed it self in our hearts constraining us willingly to suffer the losse of any thing that in this world hath been dear unto us so that Christ his love life and vertue may be but enjoyed the losse of all is counted gain ruling in our hearts we in him and he in us our Lord and our God putting down all Rule and Authority and subjecting every high thought which in us hath ruled and lorded over the Heritage of God binding his Fole to the Vine and his young Colt to the choice Vine This is our Victory over the World which our Faith in the Power gives us continually In this do we rejoyce and glory over the Persecuter within and without and as for our Cause our righteous Cause which is the Lords and our Design which is no other but that his Truth may prosper the Lord and his glory exalted in our hearts teaching us to worship as we ought as he hath promised in the latter day he vvill do And as for us let him do with his own what he pleaseth he hath bought us with a price To the false Worship of the Nation we cannot bow at all though the Furnace should be heated seven fold hotter than it is and vve suffer as Plotters and unjustly numbred with Murderers yet vve know me are clear as new-born children and many of our enemies know it also and have nothing to lay to our charge but in the matter of our God and his Worship and ere long it will appear it is because we cannot bow to Baal nor kisse him in drinking the Whores Cup of Fornication which is now handing out again to this Nation by the Merchants of Babylon whose day of wailing and bitter lamentation is nigh even at the door and as for us let the Lord suffer them if his will be so to make merchandise of out bodies as they have begun already yet our souls are the Lords and by his righteous power which we have put on he is able to keep us from falling or entering into any of the many temptations and snares that are laid for the Innocent And as we stand with our confidence in the Lord our Righteousness and of his Righteousness only to make mention our Faith in the power of an endless life our hearts shall not reproach us so long as we have a beeing and our Sufferings are for Righteousness sake because we cannot turn Idolaters in setting up Dayes and observing Times that the Lord did never command but worship him as led and moved by his eternal Spirit And we know the Letter doth not move at all much lesse doth it move any to confess Sin as in the Common-Prayer-Book is said that is the Swearers Liars and Persecuters prayer which to the Lord is an abomination we cannot own for his sake neither do we confess our sins as taught of men for this is hypocrisie but as the holy Spirit that gives us power to forsake them teacheth us O Friends ye are all out of the way that think God will be served or worshipped acceptably any other way but as led and guided by his holy Spirit O what are ye doing will ye limit the Lord in his People this hath been the overthrow of many Governments O consider will ye limit the Holy One of Israel to a few dead words in a Book or a dead Confession taught by dead man whilst in his sins What do ye think the great God dwelleth in a dead Temple made with hands and dead stones Is this the Church of the First-born which Church is in God whose names are written in Heaven O ye Bishops and learned men will ye indeed be lords of our Faith How can this be
