Moses Message TO PHARAOH,  
OR God sending to the heads of England, ●o undo the ●eavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, 
Exod. ●. 9.  to serve ●im in the wilderness, that he may do them good in ●heir latter days. For Israel shall be many days without a King, without a Priest, without an Ephod, 
Hos. 3.4, 5.  ●nd without a Teraphim, afterward they shall look ●he Lord their God, and David their King, and shall ●ar the Lord, and his goodness in his latter days, ●os. 3.4, 5.  
Sent in the time of Israel's Captivity under Pha●ah, and his taskmasters, to call to remembrance ●hat the Lord did to proud hard-hearted Pharaoh ●●d his host, then, that did oppress and burden ●●em, and would not take warning, till they were ●●erwhelmed in the red sea, and he is the same God 〈◊〉 power now, that he was then; take warning be●●e, 
Exod. 14.14, 15, 16, 17, 18, etc.  and stop not your ears against the cries of the ●●or. Let England be a fred Nation, to serve the ●ord in his own way, and take off all oppressions: for 〈◊〉 is grieved at it.  
A word from the Lord, both to-Priest and People, ●●dges and Justices, and cursed Lawyers, which opress and burden the creation, to call to cease from op●ssion, and grinding the faces of the poor, 
Isa. 1.17, 18, 19, 20.  and to ●n to the Lord, by putting away the evil of your do, relieving the oppressed; and with Zacheus, to re●●e to whom you the proud Priests, and cursed Lawyers, ●ve taken; in tithes, gifts, bribes, and rewards, and ●●e it to the poor, that they may not want; the Lord doth require it, for that is the ordinance of Christ, b● oppression is the ordinance of the devil, and his serva●● ye are to whom ye do obey: put off the old man with 〈◊〉 deeds, as pride, and oppression, and grinding the faces the poor; the Lord doth require it, for these are or●nances of the devil, 
●sa. 3.13, 14, 15.  and the Priests and Lawyer's l●● it wondrous well: The ordinance of Christ is to fe● the hungry, cloth the naked, and let the oppressed free; Put this in practice, Isa. 58.6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.  
Therefore put off lying, it is of the Devil, put 〈◊〉 pride, it is as evil; put off covetousness, it is uncivil put off heady-high-mindedness and envy, for they 〈◊〉 cruel; 
Joh. 4.20.  and he that envies is a murderer, and no m●derer hath eternal life abiding in him, 1 Joh. 8.15. A● he that saith he loves God, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him, 1 Jo● 2.4. And he that abideth not in the Doctrine of Chri●● he hath not God, 2 Joh. 1.9. Joh. 8.44. and Ch●●● saith, Resist not evil, but abstain from all appeara● of it. And the servant of the Lord must be gentle 〈◊〉 wards all, even towards them that oppose themselves and he saith, Put on as the elect of God, bowels of c●●● passion, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering and forbearing one another; and if any man have quarrel against another, forgive him freely, Colos. 3.1 and if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly ●●ther will forgive you your trespasses; and if ye forgi●● not men their trespasses, neither will your heavenly ●●ther forgive you your trespasses.  
How do the Priests of England walk according these Scriptures, that deny them in practice? As the Priests in York- shire do, that imprison the servants the most high God, for testifying against their deceits, 〈◊〉 some of them have lain in prison near hand a year, 〈◊〉 never could have his ●●yal by the Laws of England; su● a Turk would allow more freedom. It is high time, the Lord to draw his glittering sword, and exe●● judgement upon the unjust. See, do these Priest's 〈◊〉 Lawyers walk any ways answerable to the Scriptures? woe to the wicked, It shall be ill with them, 
Isa. 3.1  Isa. 3.  
Take warning betime, lest the judgements of God come upon you at unawares, ye heads and rulers, priests and Lawyers, and destroy with a sore destruction. Now you have time, prise it, and turn to the Lord with all your hearts, that he may have mercy upon you.

The Judgement of the Lord was to come upon them, except they did return from the evil of their do;

Heb. 7. 2●● 27, 28.  and the people they was to bring of the best, the pure and the clean, and they was to bring it in freely to be offered up in sacrifice: in bringing the best, they brought their hearts with them; the priests offering it up without money, was a figure of Jesus Christ, being the Saints high priest, to offer up their sacrifice to the father freely:

Now so long as they did abide in covenant and walked in obedience to the Lord, the Lord blessed them, and made his love known unto them; 〈◊〉 when they did transgress, and broke the covenant the Lord sent his servants the prophets, to crier ●gainst them, and tell them of their transgressions: ●ee Isa. 1. Chap. The vision of Isaiah the son of ●mos, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, 
Isa. 1. cha●  〈◊〉 the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezeki●h, kings of Judah. The Lord had opened their con●itions to his servant the prophet, and sent him to ●he heads of them, to declare unto them their transgressions; see vers. 2. Hear O heavens: He called ●pon the heads of them first, 
Isa. 1.2, 3 4.  than he called to the ●eet, All sorts of people; give ear, O earth: this was the people that the Lord had made choice of, and gave ●hem Statutes and Ordinances to observe, and to ●alk by, but when they waxed full and rich, their ●earts run after their riches, they made their riches ●heir gods, and forgot the Lord their Maker, and ●id not abide in his covenant, but rebelled against ●him; Thus saith the Lord, I have nourished and ●rought up children, and they have rebelled against ●●e. This was the people that the Lord had manifested his love unto, in such a large manner, as he ●id, in bringing them out of Egypt, where they had been kept in such bondage under Pharaoh: and by ●is mighty power and outstretched arm, he brought them forth, and slew all their first born in Egypt, and brought his people to the seaside, and there he renewed his love to them again, and made his power known in suffering the Egyptians, Pharaoh, and his host to pursue them thither, and there he kept them safe: when they had neither wall nor bulwark to defend them, 
Exod. 14● 18, 19, 20● 21, 22, 23● 24, 25, etc.  but the Lords own presence; and when they saw no way of deliver●ance, then did the Lords love and mercy, power, and goodness, appear wonderfully in making way ●or them to escape from their hands; he led them through the sea, where he kept them safe; and the Egyptians assaying to follow them, was all drowned. Here the Lords love and power was much manifested to them in their deliverance out of the hands of their enemies; and that which was salvation 〈◊〉 them, was destruction to the enemies. Now wh●● they had tasted so largely of the love of the Lor● they yet afterwards revolted, and looked back, 〈◊〉 brought them into the wilderness, there to 〈◊〉 them; and he gave them Statutes and ordinan● to walk by, and made a covenant with them, th●● they did abide in it, and observe what he commanded them, they should have the full enjoyment of his love; in this covenant their priests was to o● 〈◊〉 up the sacrifice without money, the people was 〈◊〉 bring it in freely of the best, the pure and the clea● and their Judges was to judge the people freely, 〈◊〉 was to be done freely, and there was not to be a be●ger among them, now so long as they stood in the 〈◊〉 of the Lord, he blessed them, and did largely ma●● his love known unto them; whilst they was in 〈◊〉 wilderness, for forty years together, and the Lo●● kept them there, to humble them, and prove th●● and try what was in their hearts, 
Deut. 8. ch.  whether they w●●● keep his commandments or no, and there he humb●● them, and suffered them to hunger, and fed th●● with Manna, which they knew not, neither 〈◊〉 their fathers know, that he might make them 〈◊〉 know him, and depend upon him alone, and to 〈◊〉 them know that man doth not live by bread alone, 〈◊〉 by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of G●● their raiment waxed not old, for forty years together, when they was in the wilderness, neither 〈◊〉 their feet swell; there was his love much manife●ed to them, that they might know the love of th● Lord to them, and there the Lord did forewa●● them to be mindful of his covenant with them, to b● obedient to him, when they came into the land th●● he did promise to them, lest when they came i●● it, where there was fullness of all things, that the they should forget him, and turn aside. Read 〈◊〉 ●●e eighth Chapter of Deuteronomy through, and see ●he Lords own counsel to them, before they came ●●to the promised land, a good land, a land of ●rooks, and of Water, of Fountains, and Depths, ●hat spring out of Valleys, and Hills, a land of ●heat, a land of Wine, of Barley, and Figgs, 
Deut. 8. v▪ 11, 12, 13, 14, v. 15.  and pomegranates, a land of oil-olive, and Honey, ●land where they was to eat bread without scarceness, where there was no lack of any thing: Now ●e the counsel of the Lord to them, after he had promised to bring them into such a good land, out 〈◊〉 the wilderness, where was a terrible place of fiery serpent's, and Scorpions, and drought, where there ●as no water, saith the Lord, Beware that thou for●et not the Lord thy God, when thou art come into that ●ood land, in not keeping his commandments & his judgements, and his statutes, which he had commanded them, ●est, saith he, when thou art full, and hast built goodly ●ouses, and dwell therein, and when thy Herds and Flock ●re multiplied, and thy silver and gold is multiplied, 
Vers. 14.  and ●ll that thou hast is multiplied, and then thy heart be lifted ●p, and thou forget the Lord thy God, which hath done so ●reat things for thee. See Deut. 8. ch. from v. 15. to the ●nd, what great things the Lord did for them; yet notwithstanding, when they came in to the promised ●and, where there was such fullness, they forgot the Lord, that had done so great things for them.  
And see if this be not the condition of England, now ●t this present: but when they backslided from the Lord, he sent his servants the prophets to cry out against them, Isa. 1.2. verse. Hear, O heavens, 
Isa. 1.2.  and give ear, O earth, saith the Lord by his servant the prophet, I have nourished and brought up a people, and they have rebelled against me. The Ox and the Ass doth condemn them; 
Vers. 3.  he brings the brute beasts as ●ritnesses against them: saith he in the 3. verse, The Ox knows his owner, and the Ass his master's Crib, but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider 〈◊〉 have nourished and brought up children, 
Isa. 1.4, 5, 6. ●sa. 2.7, 8. ●sa. 3.9, 10, 11, 12, 12, etc.  and they 〈◊〉 rebelled against me: Ah sinful Nation, a people la●● with iniquity, a seed of evil doers, children that are ●●rupted, they have forsaken the Lord, they have prov●● the holy One of Israel, they are gone away backway. The people was grown proud and haughty: 〈◊〉 Chap. 3. pride is got to the height: is it not so 〈◊〉 amongst those that are the greatest professors he● in England, at this time? and it doth greatly 〈◊〉 please the Lord: he hath sent forth his servanu● cry▪ out against it, now, as he did then.

Isa. 1.21, 22.  it was so then, 〈◊〉 it not so now? that which makes a profession 〈◊〉 truth, and doth not practise it, is so now: back●●ed and gone out of the way, pride is out of the wa● yet proud men makes a profession of love to Go● and Christ,

Now he that abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, is a Devil: Christ never persecuted; he that professeth love to Christ, and acts contrary to him, is Antichrist; and so is an enemy to Christ, devourers and murderets; the truth is imprisoned by the laws, and may not be suffered to speak, and all manner of evil is freed, and at liberty: pride is at liberty, covetousness at liberty, envy at liberty, lying, and swearing, and drunkenness at liberty; because of oaths the land mourns; Christ Jesus is imprisoned, and Barrabas set free, as it was,

1 Joh. 2.6. 1 Joh. 5.2, 3.  keep my Commandments; now they did so, wherein say they, by this we know that we love God, because we keep his Commandments, and his Commandments are not grievious, but joyous, 1 Joh. 2.3. It is the delight of those that are borne again, to do the will of God, none can but those that are born anew, for every man by nature is a child of wrath, and the natural man, he knows not the things of God, because they are spiritually discerned, and again, no man knows the Son, but the Father, neither knoweth any man the Faher, but the Son, and he to whom the Son reveals him; all the wisdom of the world cannot enter into the knowledge of this mystery, to unfold it, it was revealed to the Saints, that had the enjoyment of it, wh●● the world hated, at every appearance of God in t●● discovering himself to his people; the world is in e●●mity against it, marvel not if the world hate you: sai●● Jesus Christ, it is not to be marvelled at; for saith he, hated me before it hated you, & saith he, if ye were of i●● world,

Now the false teachers in Eng●and holds up the idols temple, and sits in the seat of the Scribes and Pharisees, acting as in a stageplay for money, all for filthy lucre, and professeth the Scripture to be their rule, when there is not a Scripture to warrant them for any thing they do. There is not a word in the Scripture for them to go to Cambridge or Oxford, to be so long there, to ●earn a trade of deceit, to give a meaning to the Scripture, to gloss them over, by their humane and serpentine wisdom, to deceive people with their imaginations; but to the contrary, for the Scripture saith, that every word of God is pure, and he that addeth thereto, or taketh therefrom, shall be reproved, and found a liar, Prov. 30.5, 6. and 〈◊〉 gain, see what the Lord said to Moses in Deut. 4. 〈◊〉 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command 〈…〉 but these goes contrary to the command of t●● Lord, that goes to learn deceit, to add their 〈◊〉 mane wisdom, to that which is truth in itself; a●● the Spirit of God could not understand its own declaration. And again, saith Jesus Christ, I testi●● that he that adds to the word of the prophecy, I w●● add to him all the plagues that are written in the B●●● Rev. ult. And again, it is said, that no man knows 〈◊〉 Son, but the Father; neither knows any man the Fath●● but the Son, and he to whom the Son reveals him, as i● 〈◊〉 in John. Then what use is all their brain-study 〈◊〉 It is all deceit, dung, and dirt: Away with it, a●●● with it; the Lord is coming to burn up all dece●●● and deceivers, and to scatter the proud in all their imaginations. Howl, ye proud Priests, for woe and mise●●● is your portion: woe was the portion of the Scri●●●● and Pharisees, that laid heavy burdens upon 〈◊〉 people, as these deceivers do, that deceive the p●●ple, and bewitcheth them with those things wh●●● God never commanded, telling the people that th●● are Ordinances of God. There is not a word in t●● Scripture for sprinkling Infants, and those fa●●●● Priests say that it is an Ordinance of Christ; a●● they can make christian's (as they say) by sprinkl●●● them with a little water, and so entereth them i●● Covenant; so making Christians by their imagi●tions. These are the false christs, and false proph●●● spoken of in Scripture. Now the Saints, they w●●● baptised by one Sp●●● m o one body, and they were 〈◊〉 of one heart and one mind. There is not a word 〈◊〉 the Scripture for Tythe-mongers, and false teach●●● in England, to have the tenth of the years Incre●●●● of all things for their brain-study, whereby they ●●ceive the people, professing themselves to be the ●●●●sters of Christ, and act altogether against Christ, ●ewing themselves to be Antichrists. What Scripture ●ave they to take Tithe of wheat, rye, and barley? What Scripture have they for their rule, to take tithe ●f oats, pease, and beans? What Scripture have they ●●r their rule to take tithe of sheep, the tenth lamb, ●nd the tenth fleece? 
Eze. 34. 2● 3.4. v. 16 ●  But as it was amongst the false teacher's in Israel, Ezek. 34. so it is with the false teacher's in England now; they teach for the fleece, and ●●ed themselves with the fat: but the Lord will feed ●uch with judgement. 
〈◊〉 ●●●se t●●●●●est th●●●●ipture 〈◊〉 Mini●●●● Saints ●●●phold 〈◊〉 not of ●●●nding ●●●●ng in ●●●mies, ●●●●gn in 〈◊〉 ●●●eer  What Scripture have they for ●heir rule, to take tithe of hemp, and flax, & pigs? ●nd what Scripture have they for their rule, to take ●ythe-apples and plums, walnuts and cherries? what Scripture have they for their rule, to take money for eggs, and to have tythe-geeses? What Scripture have ●hey for their rule, to take money for the reek passing ●p the chimneys? What Scripture have they for their ●ule, to take a penny for a garden every year? What Scripture have they for their rule, to take money for every foal that is foaled? What Scripture have they ●or their rule, to take money for every cow that hath a calf, and a penny for them that have none? What Scripture have they for their rule, to take a farthing of a shilling of servants for their wages? What Scripture have they for their rule to Church women as they do, and take money for it when they have done? What Scripture have they for their rule, to bury as they do, and take money for it when they have done? did either Jesus Christ, or his Apostles, that were the true Minister of the Gospel ever do so? See if these be not the taskmasters of Egypt: there is scarce any thing, but these deceivers have an end in it, they are altogether for filthy lucre, contrary to the Apostle to Timothy and Titus, 
1 Tim. 1, 2, 3. Tit. 1.7, ● 1 Pet 5.2, ●  who were true Ministers of Christ, Tit. 1.8, 9, 10. See who denies the Scriptures, but those that deny to walk according to them in life and conversation. For shame, down with oppression: blush for shame, all such deceivers, a●● upholders of the deceits, and never profess love 〈◊〉 God nor Christ, 
●sa. 33.14. ●5.  for your profession is found to 〈◊〉 hypocrisy: and woe and misery will be your porti●●● except ye repent, & give over deceiving the people Down with all deceivers, 
●ude 11. v.  & false worships; the gre●●● day of the Lord is coming upon them all. What Sc●●●pture have these for their rule, that have great su●●●● of money, so much a year, gifts and rewards, as 〈◊〉 laams priests had? What Scripture have they 〈◊〉 their rule, that have Augmentations? And what Scripture have they for their rule, to go to law for tith●● or for any thing else, that profess themselves to 〈◊〉 Ministers of Christ? Neither Christ, nor any that 〈◊〉 sent forth to preach the Gospel, but all spoke against it: saith Christ, Whosoever shall sue thee at the law, a●● take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also, Matth▪ 〈◊〉 and the Apostle, who was a true Minister, spoke ●gainst it: and they that say they are the Ministers 〈◊〉 Christ, and act contrary to Christ, are Antichrists though they have never so fair a colour, they a●● but the coloured Beast, painted outsides; mar●●● them that say, and do not, those are false Prophets▪ Mat. 7. What Scripture have they any of them, t●● have the chiefest places in the Assemblies, and to b● called of men masters? The Scribes and Pharisees had, which were enemies to Jesus Christ; and those that sits in their seats are the same. What Scripture have they for their rule to go in long Robes, or in a colour differing from their brethren? The Scribes and Pharisees did so, which were enemies to Jesus Christ. What Scripture have they for their rule to pray standing in the Synagogues, before they preach as they call it, and after they have done? there is Scripture to the contrary, where Jesus Christ saith, Pray not standing in the Synagogues. What Scripture have they for their rule, to be idle 6 days of 7, and then to go into the Idols temple, & take a glass to speak 〈◊〉; and none must speak till they have done, nor then neither 〈◊〉 there is to the contrary: In the true Church all may speak, ●●●t all may be edified; but it is plain that it is the false Church 〈◊〉 of any thing be revealed to him that stood by, in the true Church 〈◊〉 that had it revealed to him was to speak, and the other was to hold 〈◊〉 peace, 2 Cor. 14. but it is not so now; he must be haled out the Apostles were by the Jews, and either beaten, or stoned, o● 〈◊〉 imprisoned, and shut close up, and not one to come at him, ●●cept he give them money: all contrary to the Scripture, for 〈◊〉 Apostle had more favour showed of the Heathen, when he 〈◊〉 imprisoned, than the Saints of God have now, by those that ●●●fess themselves to be Christians, but it is plainly manifest that ●●●y are enemies both to God and Christ. What Scripture ●●ve they for their rule, professing themselves to be the Minion's of Jesus Christ, to imprison so many of the dear Saints 〈◊〉 servants of the Lord, by a Law that was made to uphold 〈◊〉 Popish Clergy withal? See now whether these be not of 〈◊〉 generation of Cain, yea or no, and are of the devil, standing actual rebellion against Jesus Christ, now that he is arising in 〈◊〉 Saints: but the Lord will be avenged of all his enemies, 〈◊〉 his adversaries, and he alone will be honoured and reign in 〈◊〉 Saints for ever and ever. The great day of the Lord is near ●and: Awake thou that sleepest, and come to judgement: 〈◊〉 glittering sword is drawn, it is four bished, and made fit for 〈◊〉 slaughter, to cut down to the ground all the enemies of the ●●●d: he will plead with all flesh by his sword and by fire, and ●●●t shall be the slain of the Lord.  
Oh England, England, repent, and turn to the Lord: Let the ●●e passed of your lives be sufficient, that you have wrought e●●●● and now turn from the evil of your ways; Let him that stole 〈◊〉 no more: Let him that is proud forsake his pride and haugh●●ss; it is abomination to the Lord: Let Nabal forsake his ●●liness, and the covetous man his covetousness; Let the drun●d forsake his drunkenness; let the vain talkers forsake their 〈◊〉 talk, and put away their foolish jes●ings, for God doth for●●● it: Let the lustful one take up the Cross of Christ, that his 〈◊〉 may be sacrificed up, that innocency may be head: let the en●●●s man forsake his envy, and let the inventor forsake his cunning inventions, and let the backbiter forsake his backb●●●● and the scoffing Ishmael, his scoffing, and the scorner, le● 〈◊〉 forsake his scornfulness, lest his bands be made strong: L●● 〈◊〉 swearer forsake his swearing; God doth forbid it; Let the 〈◊〉 forsake his lying, the false accuser his false accusations: 〈◊〉 you Priests and Lawyers, go and make restitution to who● 〈◊〉 have rob. They that steal, they steal in the night; they 〈◊〉 are drunk, are drunk in the night; but now the day is da●●● 〈◊〉 and the Daystar is risen, and the Sun gins to rise; and h●● 〈◊〉 run forth in power, and you will be spied out, where eve● 〈◊〉 are; all your old storehouses, your corrupt hearts m●●● 〈◊〉 searched, the Lord is come, and is coming, let him come, 〈◊〉 will now be found guilty before the divine Magistrate, he 〈◊〉 drawn his glittering sword, it is sharp on both sides, it hath 〈◊〉 edges; woe, woe to you Priests and Lawyers, woe, woe to you p●●●● and lustful ones, Isa, 28.1, 2, 3. Let the oppressor forsake h●●● pression; the earth is the Lords, and the fullness thereof: L●●●● bloodthirsty ones forsake their bloodthirstiness. The Magi●●●● bears not the sword in vain, he will not suffer sin to go u●●●●●ished: Awake, awake, and stand up to judgement, the L●●● 〈◊〉 coming, the Lord is coming, in power and great glory, to 〈◊〉 his power known upon all that act in unrighteousness. 〈◊〉 Priests and Lawyers, the Lord will plead with you all: sta●●●●● awe of him, and tremble: you must all give up your acc●●●● and woe to the unjust, they must be turned into hell, and all 〈◊〉 that forget God: Thus saith the Lord, Will ye not fear me? 〈◊〉 ye not tremble at my presence? Now the Trumpet gins to so●●● Come out of your wickedness, and meet the Lord by tru●●●pentance, lest your hearts be hardened, and your hands be 〈◊〉 strong, and so you be given up to a reprobate mind, and 〈◊〉 into continual torment.
