A38157	A warning to all the inhabitants of the earth where this shall come, but especially to those that are called magistrates or rulers, and so pretend to bear a sword of justice for the punishment of evil-doers these are those things which hath been laid upon me from the great Jehovah as his commands to you, and they are as followeth.

Christian Reader I Have lived an unworthy Minister in the same town with the Authour of this Treatise these six and twenty years and have been a constant observer and admirer as of her other eminent gifts so especially of those which give the highest lustre to them all her humble piety and charity And if I mistake not this Deborah doth here present unto thee in these her labours Bee-like a sting and hony conjoyn'd Hony-sweet instructions counsels and exhortations gathered out of severall flowres growing in Gods Paradise tending to all sorts of good husbandry and also sharp stings of reproof against all kinds of unthriftiness not sparing the worst of them our Church dividing Errours in these times Who knows but that after the lightnings of so many worthy Barak's and thundrings of ●om●

are called Magistrates or Rulers and so pretend to bear a Sword of Justice for the punishment of Evil-doers These are those things which hath been laid upon me from the Great Jehovah as His Commands to you and they are as followeth First I warn you that you under the pretence of bearing a Law to execute punishment on all those that offend as you call it that you do not form your Weapons against the Work of this the day of my God in which he is over-turning Babylon the Great the Mother of Harlots even the Mystery of Iniquity under which you have committed all your Spiritual Whoredoms under the Name of Christians and so Lucifer which was a Morning-Star but was cast off and droven into Darkness is become your Head and Law-giver from whence did come all your Church-Forms and Powers seeking to make all the Earth to worship the Beast and the Dragon and they have had power to slay the two Witnesses and have caused their dead bodies to lie in the streets not being buried because they were not to rot but to be dryed up by the heat of their Persecution for Darkness hath been spread over all Nations by reason of the abominations which they have been made fat withall having drunk the bloud of the Innocent as an Ox drinketh the water and yet have they not enough therefore Cain's Spirit is not satisfied with bloud till he hath bloud to drink and then will he cry out enough which the Lord will assuredly do if he cease not to shed bloud Therefore before the day of Reward come upon you cease cease persecuting any for matter of Conscience for the Lord is breaking the Clouds and the Vail is a rending and the Sons and Daughters of Adam shall be redeemed from the Earth in which they have been in bondage Therefore I warn you all that you abound no longer in making use of those old cursed laws which Bloud-suckers did create and form in the time that Darkness had wholly clouded the mind of man from knowing any God in being and so made Gods unto themselves and worshipped the works of their own hands and leaving a Law that after Generations should bow to their Idols but the Spirit of Jah hath blown the breath of Li●e into the dead bones and ●●esh and Sinews are they covered now with all which feels and knows the living God from a dum Idol and the Invisible Life of Power hath raised up a quick living Witness whose Mouth shall declare his Work in this day which is to bring to an end all Types and Figures which are all to end in the body for Sacrifices offering burnt-offering and the bloud of Bulls and the fat of Rams could not perfect the Comer then unto Therefore a Body did he prepare to do the W●ll which Body put an end to all Types and Figures Days New Moons and Sabbath-Days as you call them for who have you consecrated them to to your Selves or to the Lord if to your Selves then are they abomination unto the Lord for he that keeps a day let him keep it to the Lord and not unto his own Lusts for that is not pleasing in his sight and if it had been kept unto the Lord why are you w●ath when he hath brought an end to it But you will say What will He put an end to our sabbath-Sabbath-day Did he not make Heaven and Earth on six days and did he not rest the Seventh Day And did He not g●ve a C●mmand that on the Seventh Day Man should do no manner of work he nor his Ox nor his Ass and there was no Burthen to be born within the Gates nor no fire to be kindled on that day And what will you not keep it now O foolish people void of Understanding where are you what is become of your Jesus as you call h●m that you stand in the Observations of Days and Times For when God made all things was it not by Him For without Him was not any thing made that was made for He was the Word which Wotd was his Power by which power he formed all things and his Power was the Light or Life of Man and in it was Man in perfect Rest or Union with his Maker And what need had man of one day of Rest when as he rested in God and a thousand years was but as one day in his sight Nay man had no need of one day in seven if man had no need of necessity it will follow God had no need Why what was the Seventh Day for seeing that in six days he sp●ke and did not rest what of his Works did he rest in Was it not in man that the Godhead did rest in first Yea for man was the express Image of the Father which he could not have been had not the Seed rested in him But if God did make man his Rest and man did
