deceived thee in those late years who then had their day in thee and were set up by thee and thy Faith stood in their Wisdom they have all deceived thee by their lies and flatteries crying peace unto thee through all changes that have come to passe in this great Revolution and whatever came up to rule that favoured their time and day they cryed peace unto thee in it though the Lord had determined to overthrow it speedily and when it was overthrown and destroyed they covered thee over with new lies and flatteries and still cryed peace within thy borders under the next appearance that came forth to rule within thee So they cryed peace unto thee in O LIVER' 's Day and when he was cut down and fell and RICHARD his son seemed to arise in his place then their sound went forth with a noise of a Star that was risen and a Son that was born in Bethlehem to establish Peace and thus they cryed aloud in their deceitful sound which was nothing but lies and flatteries for theis Star soon fell and their Sun soon set and was overshadowed and Bethlehems Peace was broken Canst thou not see O England how deceit hath abounded within thee and how thy Prophets and Teachers have dealt with thee Was ever such a professing People so blinded as thou hast been and so overcome to believe lies and flatteries as thou hast done and these are they which thou hast laboured to uphold who have brought that which thou mad'st thy day into darkness and obscurity Oh England the Lords love hath been exceedingly towards thee though thou hast been a Rebellious Nation and it is yet with the Lord to do thee good if thou wilt but hearken and obey Therefore turn unto the Lord God and wait his Counsel to receive that Cruelty and Oppression Vanities and Abominations which do still abound in thee may all be done away and removed out of thy bowels that a godly sorrow may come upon thee and true Repentance may be wrought in thee never to be repented of that a Life in the pure God thou mayest come to know and Uprightness of heart thou mayest learn by the teachings of his own Spirit and deny all thy Ungodliness Prophaness and Licentiousness vain Customs Worships Fashions and Traditions and learn to live soberly righteously and godly in this present world that God may divert his Judgment from thee which certainly thou art drawing down upon thy own head by those unclean abominations which still live and abide within thee and though the Revolution be come about yet thou dost not learn Righteousness neither makest thy wayes and doings good before the Lord thou reapest little profit by all that hath come upon thee and passed through thee in these late years of thy Calamity thou hast had sufficient tryal of man and his way and if thou dost but mind in soberness thou mayest see what the end of it is and whither and into what it all turns This may be a Warning unto thee O England for ever placing thy Faith in man's Wisdom any more for thou hast been long a deceived Nation and the Lord hath largely opened his love to thee that thou mightst have been undeceived and not to have placed thy confidence so much in man but that thou mightest have turned unto the power of God and placed thy confidence in it but thou hast kickt as a wild Heifer that would not come to the yoke and didst not regard the faithful MESSAGES that in thee hath been sounded forth Therefore O ENGLAND Turn Fear and Obey in this thy day whilst the visitation reaches thee and mind the Teachings of God and hearken to his Reproof that thy Faith may stand in his Power and no more in the Wisdom of men that thy confidence may be placed in God and not in the arm of flesh Oh ENGLAND down into the dust with speed and be humbled for the day hastens over and night comes on a pace in which darkness will be thy covering and WO and MISERY thy portion except thou speedily repent then shalt thou know that God hath raised up true Prophets in Israel this day who run in obedience to his movings to do thee good and labour in thee to bring thee to repentance that thou mayest escape the judgment from which no man can hide thee or prevent it from coming upon thee if thou go on in Rebellion against the Almighty God Therefore all RULERS TEACHERS and PEOPLE dread the Mighty God and bow before the Most High and unto Him turn with speed and joyn to his Spirit that is manifest in you own Conscience and make your wayes and doings good therein love mercy do justly and walk humbly before the Lord who respects no persons in judgment And this is a faithfull warning unto thee O England with all thy Rulers and Teachers and all sorts and sects of people whatsoever that inhabite within thy borders and now have their day in thee that all may turn to the Light of Christ in their own conscience and that none may neglect it any longer but turn to it speedily that in it they may obtain mercy before he strike in judgment whose everlasting Power ruleth over all the Kingdoms of the world Something concerning our PRINCIPLE and what it is OUr PRINCIPLE is JESUS CHRIST the LIGHT of the World that doth enlighten every man that comes into the VVorld it is the free gift of God unto every man placed in his Conscience to be a witness for God it shews unto man all his thoughts words and deeds and makes them manifest whether they be good or evil when man joyneth unto evil in thought word or deed the Light reproves him in his own Conscience and finites him in judgment for Transgression the Light speaks near unto every man and calls the workers of Iniquity to Repentance and to abstain from evil it doth not consent to any evil thing which in mans heart arises but secretly reproves it if any intent arise that is not brought forth it searcheth it out and makes it manifest and brings it to a discovery that it may be seen of what sort it is it brings man into a sensibleness of his present state the Light shews him whether he be a Drunkard a Swearer a Lyer an Envious man or what ever it be that arises from the Darkness it is made manifest by the Light if any thing lodge never so secretly it finds it out if there be an intent to Steal or to Defraud or to Lie or Anger or Envy or Pride or Evil-will lodge in the heart of man and none can accuse him for any of them yet the Light finds out such things and judges man and reproves him in his own Conscience for them the Light hath no Communion with Darkness nor fellowship with Unrighteousness but stands in man a witness against man that unto any evil thing is joyned And this is something of our PRINCIPLE according to the Scriptures of
