A TESTIMONY OF LOVE AND GOOD VVILL Unto all them who Desire to come to Enjoy an Everlasting BEING with the Lord of Life when Dayes in this World will have an End Given forth by one that desireth the Good of all and that none may Perish in Sin John Songhurst 1 Thes 5.12 Prove all Things and hold fast that which is Good Printed in the Year 1680. A few Words to all People who desire to come to enjoy an Everlasting Beeing with the Lord of Life when Dayes in this World will have an End TIME in this World is very short and it is very Uncertain when the End of it will come and yet nothing more Certain than the End of it to come but the World that is to come is for evermore which is called A Long Home because it will never have an End Eccles 12.5 and it will be to all People either Joy or Torments forever and ever Now the World to come consists of two Inheritances unto which all must go the Righteous to the Inheritance of Eternal Life Glory Endless Felicity with God and the Wicked into the Lake that burns prepared for the Devil his Angels the one an Endless Joy the other an Endless Misery and Disconsolation with Weeping Wailling and Gnashing of Teeth Though true it is That the God of Heaven never Created Man nor Woman and left them without Remedy with intent that they should go into the Place of Torment of which there is no End No But he Created them for a Purpose of his own Glory intending that they should have continued with himself in Paradise where they should never have had Pain Trouble or Sorrow but Joy without End This was God's Love to Mankind in the Beginning when he Created Man in his own Image in which Image man stood Single Pure Holy without Sin or Fault in the Sight of God and in that Condition the Lord made a Covenant with Man and gave him Liberty to eat of every Tree of the Garden Gen. 2.9 except one to wit The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil but the Lord told Adam Gen. 3.3 If he did eat of that Tree he should surely Dye Now here came in the Flood of Misery upon all the World that is Man and Woman not keeping to God's Command nor believing what God had said to them for if they had kept in the Faith then had they been preserved from him that ensnared them for the Devil had an Intent to Ensnare Adam and Eve and came to them with a Lye Gen. 3.6 and told them They should not Dye if they did eat of the Fruit of the Tree that God had told them they should not eat of but That they should be as Gods which was another Lye And believing more what the Serpent said than what God had said unto them they ventured to brake Covenant with God for if they had not believed what the Serpent said more than what God had said but had kept the Faith of God they had not been ensnared by the Serpent and thus the Serpent having disputed the Woman out of Faith in God destroyed that in her he created a false Faith of his own which before could not have been done And here came in the first believing of Lyes and so to this day wo be to that Soul that doth not believe that God Means as he Speaks Thus looking more at the Present Enjoyment of the Thing presented than at the sad Effect it would produce and letting go the Belief of what God had said to them to believe a Lying Promise from the Serpent they became not contented with God's Allowance but hearkned to the Serpent Proudly hoping to come to an Higher Attainment than the Lord had placed them in so the Woman looking upon the Fruit to be pleasant and beautiful to the Eye and good for Food did eat of it though the Lord had warned them before-hand and told them That in the Day they did eat thereof Gen. 3.3 they should Dye which the Woman did remember Thus they let go the Faith closed with the Serpent and broke Covenant with God here they came to lose that Glorious Image in which they were Created and that Liberty Soul-peace Fellowship and Unity with God and spiritual Blessings and Benefits which they enjoyed before And so by Disobedience to God Sin entered into Mankind and Man was taken Bond-slave by the Devil and Captive to his Will And so according to God's Unalterable Word and Unchangeable Decree who said unto Man In the Day thou eats thereof Gen. 3.3 thou shalt surely Dye Man dyed to Righteousness which will be mans Misery forever if not deeply Repented of before he go hence and through Repentance come to dye to Sin and live to God And God hath also decreed That in that Condition man fell into by that Act of Disobedience by which Sin entred and man became separated from God his Maker and shut out of his Kingdom that no Man nor Woman in that Sinful Estate shall again ever enter into his Kingdom till they come to know themselves Freed from Sin again and so to be separated from the Evil of the World For inasmuch as our first Parents Adam and Eve did commit Sin and so Sin entred and by Sin they came to shame and to be rejected of God and from that day to this day Sin reigned over all Men and Women by Corrupt Nature and Death by Sin from Adam to Moses and from Moses to this Day and so all by this Nature Children of wrath as the Apostle said We as well as others So is it certain that in this State all are undone forever Now seeing it is concluded That Sin hath entred all men and all have sinned and that all are at a loss concerning the Knowledge of God his Way and the Salvation of their Souls and that none shall be Heirs of God's Kingdom while they remain in the Sinful Nature because while men live in that Nature there is no Salvation and if no Salvation then Damnation Then the Question that remains is this Seeing these Things are so how shall People be Freed from Sin and from Condemnation and the Wrath to come and be made Heirs of God's Kingdom and Injoyers of his Salvation and Inheriters with them that are Sanctified The Lord seeing this hath provided a Means to wit John 1.1 Christ the true Light being much grieved for Man in that lost Condition he was plunged into for he was become a Bond-slave to the Devil and an Enemy to his own Soul and no way capable of Salvation without God though the Fault was in Man For God created him a Noble Vine wholly of the right Seed Jer. 2.21 but he became a degenerate Plant of a strange Vine and Rebelled against God his Maker Yet I say the Lord in the riches of Mercy and great Pity towards the Sons of Men did bear with them and did not cut
