And therefore all ye who are plotting and persecuting of the Lords chosen ones whom he hath redeemed and is redeeming with his pretious blood and by judgement Eph. 17. Isa 52. Isa 1.27 out of the worlds customes fashions words c. fining of them and casting them into prison for not bowing or putting off the hatt c. to satisfie your wills and lusts and some of you are afflicting and whipping and putting of them into stocks other stoning dirting of them in streets high wayes they not giving you the least offence in word or action ye are those that rob the Lord of his honour haters of Sion the Lord will plead with you all poor and rich by fire and sword and will cut your cords of wickedness asunder and ye will be as grasse that groweth on the house top that withereth before it be grown up wherewith the mower filleth not his hand nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosome neither will they which pass by say we bless you in the name of the Lord or the blessing of the Lord be upon you neither receive you into their house or bid you God speed for he that so doeth will be partaker of your evil deeds Psal 129.4 to the end 2 Iohn 10.11 And then will the prayers and prophesies of David which ye have made the Songs of your Temples unto which ye have added and diminished both words and verses Witness Psal 2. Psal 4. Psal 14. and 15. with many others therefore denyed by the Children of light will come upon you who are Confederates persecuting the innocent for ye sing your hearts are foul and vain and death in hast will fall on you and send you quick to hell except ye repent Will it not be just with the Lord to answer your prayers who are doing so wickedly Read and understand what ye sing Psal 5.6 9. Psal 55.16 Are ye not lyars and Hypocrites when ye sing All the night I wash my bed with tears c. My joynts in sunder break My heart doth in my body melt like wax against the heat c. My tongue cleaves to my jawes Are not your tonges at liberty uttering forth deceit And are not your hearts as hard as the nether mill-stone And do ye not spend the night in sleep and ease O ye simple ones when will ye be wise Do ye not know the lyar is for the Lake ye sing and say ye do not haunt with men whose deeds are vain to come into the house ye do refuse with the deceitful train ye much abhor the wicked sort it were well if ye did But are ye not some of them that are taking Counsel against the Lords annointed ones If ye say nay Then are ye not some of them that resort into the Temples or Synagogues called Churches Into which come all manner of wicked lewd persons The light of Christ in all your consciences shall eternally witness this to be truth and answer your condemnation to be just except ye speedily repent come out from amongst them touch not the unclean thing understand what you sing and read Psal 26. for the Lord is discovering the secrets of al hearts ye read or sing My wounds stink and and are festred so as loathsome is to see c. That ye go wailing all the day in doleful heavyness c. And ye say or sing ye roare for grief of heart and are not puft in mind and have no scornful eye c. How dare ye to be so presumptious to breath forth such abominable untruths before the Lord when ye are at ease clothed in rich arayment perfumed with sweet smells and are haughty scorners puft up with pride of mind living in wantonness ease and pleasure singing vain songs and times having eyes full of adultery c. By this ye may as in a Looking-glasse see and read your figure and also what blindness and ignorance your Preists have lead you into that ye are not truly sensible when ye sing whether it be for a blessing or a curse and therefore I was moved out of tender love to your souls that ye might come to consider aright of your condition to forewarn you of those plagues that ye ignorantly pray for to come upon you which will assuredly come upon you speedily except ye repent The light of Christ in all your consciences shall eternally witness me to be true and answer your condemnation to be just if ye sleight the day of your visitation and salvation proffered unto you T. M. THE END POST-SCRIPT THis Book should have been Printed long ago but through neglect of some and mistake of others it hath been prevented a great while yet now it comes not out of good season but may do its service to awaken the Witness of God in the Persecutors of the Righteous Seed that they may see what they have done and repent now before the last plague be poured out for the Viols of Gods fury is full to be poured out upon the head of the Vngodly so the service of this book is now in season to answer the witness of God in all men to which it is Commended

and the abomination that maketh desolation c. And although David was a sinner yet when he saw his sin he repented and sate on the ground and made Sack-cloth his garments and prayed the Lord to blot out his sin and his iniquities and to create in him a clean heart and renew a right spirit within him which David did witness the Lord had done for him and had delivered him out of all his trouble and said I will praise the Lord for ever mark because he hath done it c. Ps 51.9 10 52.9.54.7 And although Paul did cry out O wretched man that I am c. yet he did after witness and say the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus had made him free from the law of sin and death and over death he did triumph and thanked God that he had given him the victory over his sin through our Lord Jesus Christ Rom. 7.25 and 8.1 2 37. and ch 6.16 17 18. 1 Cor. 15.55 to the end This may serve to satisfie the simple and for a witness against thee Rob. Hill who falsely reportedst that I said Paul was not a Saint or born of God when he said O wretched man c. Thou askedst me whether he was not a sinner I answered that he that was born of God did not commit sin c. But thou by thy consequences concludest and falsely reportedst as aforesaid Let the wise in God judge to whom I refer my self I had been silent herein knowing it is honourable to cease from strife had I not been told of it by several people since I came into prison for it is near two years ago that the words were spoken Now let all the wise in heart judge whether or no Iob David and Paul did not witness a cleansing from their sins and iniquities and witness a perfect holy life or perfection contrary to that Doctrine of George Long and others who quote them for examples to people that they may live in sin for terme of life which is just the Doctrine of the Pope who in his ground differeth little from the Priests of England though in some particular circumstances they may for the Pope and his Jesuits and Fryars tell the people they cannot be free from sin or perfect whiles they are on earth but tell them there is a Purgatory where they must be cleansed after death for which many of them do give their whole estates to the Pope his Fryars c. to pray for their Souls after death that they may be freed of out Purgatory which they say is a place of torment and go to Heaven And hence it is through their subtilty and craft they have gotten so many Abbies c. and other yearly Revenues as they have part of which is now become their Successors to wit the Priests of England and hence was the ground to wit from the Pope of Glebes and Tythes for which the Priests of England contend so earnestly and sue men at Law c. And the Pope his Jesuits and Fryars c. say the Wafer or bread is Corpus Dei the Body of God and the Wine his Blood after they have consecrated it as they call it and some of the Priests of England say the same and the Pope and his Priests c. wash or sprinkle little Children and call that Baptism and they use a form of words at their Graves burying of their dead and they stand praying in the Synagogues and Pulpits and preach from a Chapter and Verse and have Parsonage-houses Gleabs and Tythes and some of them preach for hire moneys c. All which the Priests of England for the greatest part of them do the like and against such dumb greedy Doggs who could never have enough but preach for their gain from their Quarters the Lord sent Isaiah to cry Isa 56.10 11. and against such the Lord sent Jerimiah to cry which did commit the horrible thing in the Land the Prophets prophecying falsely and the Priests bearing rule by their means and the people did love to have it so as ye people of England do but what will ye do in the end thereof ye shall lye down in sorrow Isa 5.30 31. Isa 50.11 and against such the Lord sent Ezekiel to cry who did make a prey of the prople and destroyed Souls for dishonest gain Ezek. 34.3 4. and 27.4 And against such the Lord sent Micah to cry which did preach for hire and divine for money as your Priests and Divines do Micah 3.10 11. And Christ said ye shall know them by they fruits and against such Christ Jesus cryed who stood praying in the Synagogues and were called of men Master and had the chief Seats in the Assemblies and the uppermost rooms at Feasts Mat. 23.6 7. Now all people who have been learning the way of truth from your priests some 20 30 40 years some more some less and have given them great Gifts and Rewards and yet ye are as ignorant of the true way to eternal life as ye were the first time you went to hear them and look with a single eye on your Priests and see what difference there is between their Doctrine and that of the Popes Therefore be ye warned of them all people before the terrible day of the Lord come upon you and consume you as stubble for in that day the wicked shall be as stubble which is come and coming and with the Rod of his mouth will he smite the earth and with the breath of his lips will he slay the wicked therefore while ye have time prize it and repent for though there be a righteous holy life to be attained through Christ Jesus Isa 4.4 whose blood cleanseth from all sin yet those whom he doth redeem by his Spirit of burnings and of judgement from sin Rom. ● 6 he doth redeem them henceforth not to live in sin but unto him which dyed and rose again he that hath an ear to hear 2 Cor. 5.15 can hear to serve him mark in newness of life and if ever any of you come to witness a perfect holy life either Priest or People in any measure ye must come to witness a real not feigned forsaking of your evil wayes and a daily dying and crucifying of that life that now liveth in you with all its lusts and affections Gal. 5.24.25 16. Rom 6.4 And the life that ye have sl●ne whiles ye have nourished your hearts as in the day of slaughter to be raised by the power and glory of the Lord God even as Jesus was raised from the dead c. And therefore your saying ye hope ye shall be saved from your sins and ye believe Christ dyed for your sins and by faith in Christ ye shall be saved c. It is not your speaking those words and living in sin will serve your turns for Christ is come and coming to give to every one according as their works shall be And therefore that beliefe that doth
