A Faithful WARNING TO Outside Professors, And Loose Pretenders to CHRISTIANITY of all Sorts.  
COme all ye Professors of Scripture upon the Face of the whole Earth under what form soever, what have ye learned hitherto of all that ye profess? have ye learned to Fear God and keep his Commandments? have ye learned thus to Love God? and do you love your Neighbour as yourselves? do ye not profess to love God above all things, and your Neighbour as yourselves? is this done? what? will a profession of words commend you to God, where the obedience is wanting?  
O thou that art called Christendom, how art thou fallen! how art thou become the Plant of a degenerate Vine! how are thy Grapes become as those of Sodom! who shall bring healing to thee, who hast rejected the balm of Gilead, that the Father brought to thee.  
O Thou foolish Child! how hast thou triffled out thy precious Time about Toys and Trifles, and hast not regarded the Voice of thy Maker, who hath waited all day long to gather thee, and to do thee good; but thou wouldst not! Thou hast Chosen the worse part, in that thou hast forsaken the Lord the Fountain of Living Waters; and hast hewed and chosen to thyself a Cistern, that will hold no Water. Thou art gone into the ways of the Old World, upon whom the Flood came: And which of those sins, for which Sodom burned, are a wanting in thee?  
O! The pure River of Life, that would quench thy thirst, how is it slighted and neglected by thee! And therefore art thou utterly unsatisfied, in whatsoever thou dost, or attempts to do. Thou art never able to satiate thy soul with husks: Thou must come into the Father's house before thou hast Bread enough.  
But thou sayst in thy heart, Thou art a Queen, yea, That thou art Rich, and endued with goods, and hast need of nothing: When as alas in the true Light, that loves thy soul, thou art seen to be miserable, poor, wretched, blind and naked. A long Course hast thou run; but the promised end thou hast not reached: thou hast been like a bewildered sheep, running from Mountain to hill to find a resting place, where no rest is. Thou camest indeed a little out of Egypt: but O! how soon didst thou turn back again thither, from whence thou came, and loved the fleshpots of Egypt, yea, the Onions and Garlic better, than God's Manna in the Wilderness: Thou shouldest have followed the Lord perfectly unto the Land of Rest in patience, and silence of Spirit under his voice, and teachings.  
But thou grew weary of waiting upon thy God, and saw Images of things on Earth, and Images of things in Heaven, and bowed thy heart to them, and didst not keep thy heart to the power that broke through the Darkness for thee. Nor didst thou keep thy eye to the Light of Life, that freely shined out of Darkness for thee to have guided thee through the dark-howling Wilderness to Zion. But thou being careless, and selfish, thou lend thy ear to the voice of the stranger, that cried, Lo here and Lo there: and so wast thou led out of the Way into Bypaths of sin and death, where thou hast been lost from the true Life, and true Light, and Spirit, that wrought in thee in the beginning. And thou hast not to this day throughly considered thy loss; nay very little is thy nakedness and wretchedness laid to heart in thee.  
And now therefore thou, that art called Christendom, What is the Wood of thy Vine (seeing thou hast lest off to bear Fruit to the Lord) better, than the Wood of another Tree? nay, it is not so good as any. For, if the Salt, that should season other things, have lost its Savour, wherewith shall it be salted? and of what use is it, but even to be trodden under feet of men. O! that thou wert wise to consider, at least in this thy day the things of thy peace in this great day, wherein the Bridegroom, which hath been as one traveled into a far Country, is come again, and is appeared in his ancient love, power and perfection to visit thee, and to seek thee up out of every place, where thou hast been scattered from sin in the long Night of Apostasy, to see, if any of the pure love, that was in thee in the day of thy Espousals, may be recovered to himself out of thee: that he may know, how to do thee good, and how to make manifest his ancient love unto thee, which burned the hearts of his simple Israel into such love of his goodness, as to follow the Lamb wheresoever he went in the beginning.  
But O thou polluted Woman, how art thou wandered away from the true Sheep-fold! how art thou gone a whoring from under thy God how art thou covered with the shades of Night! and how art thou lost amongst the Countries, and mingled with the Heathen! yea, thou hast chosen thy own ways, and worshipped the works of thy own hands, and hast cast the pure law of God behind thy back. Yea, the Light of the Glorious Gospel of Christ, which hath shined to thee, and would have gathered thee up to God, thou hast rejected, and hast not liked to retain God, nor his light in thy knowledge. And so thou art become vain in thy mind, and thy foolish heart is become so dark, that thou worships thou knows not what, like those that know not God; and art become a prey to every Beast of the Field, and art bowed in thy heart to the creatures, more than to the living God the Creator.  
And therefore will he arise in thee in great Majesty, and dreadful Power, and will yet again bring to pass his Act, his strange Act in thee. And he will not meet thee as a man, but as a consuming Fire: because thou hast rejected his goodness, patience and forbearance. And hast heaped to thyself teachers after thy own heart, who have rocked thee asleep with their false voices crying peace, peace, when their was no peace: for Their is no peace to any wicked on, saith the True God, forever, profess what they may.  
For the Lord is come to look for Fruits. And now woe, woe to the Fruitless Trees, to the Briers and Thorns! for the fire of the Lord God will consume them. And now will the Lord God bring to nothing all thy Might, Wisdom, Glory, and Greatness, whereby thou hast exalted thyself, and dishonoured him; and the meek shall inherit heaven and earth. And blessed is he, that overcometh that evil and wicked spirit, that so much reigns and rages in thee, for he shall be called God's Son and shall inherit all things, as saith Scripture. For the end cometh: and who shall stop the course of the everlasting Sun of Righteousness, whose day is dawned, blessed for evermore.  
O thou Corrupted Earth, who wallows in the blood of thine Iniquity! who art become Deaf to the heavenly voice, and art become an Enemy to nothing so much, as to that good thing that would unburden thee of thy corruptions! O! O how hath Hell enlarged itself for the multitude of those wilful transgressors in thee, that are posting on in their sins this day to the Chambers o● death! who are making provision for the fleshly lusts, which war against the soul! who will not believe, what their miserable state shall be, though one come from the dead to declear it in true experience to them.  
But O thou Little Remnant of Wheat amongst such a heap of Chaff! O thou lovely Seed of God, which brings forth Fruit of Righteousness to his glory, and so shines forth as Lights in the sore said dark world. Do thou rejoice, and be thou glad forever in the Lord thy Saviour, who hath loved thee with an everlasting love, and by his Arm of Power hath raised thee up to be his servant, and hath gathered thee into his Bosom of Safety to lie down, and rest in peace with himself for evermore.  
So be it, even so be it, saith the Spirit and the Bride. So do thou, O Lovely, Holy Seed begotten to God in Righteousness; do thou trust and rejoice in the Lord thy God for ever.  
And be not troubled nor dismayed at the roar of the Waters of Babylon; but be still, be still, be at rest and Peace in the Arms of the Lord God Almighty, blessed blessed for evermore.  
From a Lover of God's Everlasting Truth, Thomas Tayler.   

PEOPLE,  
THis know, That the Entrance into Righteousness is the Only and Alone Entrance into the Kingdom of God, and there is not another. Christ is God's Righteousness, and so the Door: He that entereth not in by me, saith Christ, is a thief and a robber. So, see all people, where you are? I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, also saith Christ, and no man cometh to the Father, but by me. So consider all people: Is Christ your Way? and is nothing Truth to you, but Christ? and have you a Life in nothing at all, but in Christ? Deal honestly with your own souls, and deceive not yourselves; for God will not be mocked. Bring your deeds to the Light, and seek not to hide your sins from the Lord: for Their is nothing secret, which shall not be made manifest.  
Drunkard, bring thy deeds to the light. Thou knowest by the Light, thou shouldst not be Drunk, nor spend God's Creatures upon thy Lust. Here thou hast learned thy Condemnation, and the Wrath of God abides upon thee in this Condition, profess what thou mayst. And all thy Prayers and Performances are Abomination to the Pure God, whilst thou abidest in the Lust of Drunkenness; for it defiles.  
And all ye Unclean-Hearted Ones, who burn in your Lusts one towards another, and are as the Bruit Beasts, who know neither Guide nor Rule over your Minds; but are in the Evil Liberty, to follow your own Evil Hearts. Bring your Deeds to the Light, and it will let you see, you should not be so: It will tell you, That the Unclean shall not enter God's Kingdom; and Without Holiness none can see God. Here ye may see your Way to be to the Chambers of Hell and Death, and not to Christ.  
And all ye Swearers, Vain and Obscene Talkers, and Foolish Jesters, whose Tongues run through the World: and as you know no Limit to your Lusts, so you know no Bridle to your Tongue. Your Religion is Vain, Jam. 1.26. Bring your Deeds to the Light; there you may read your Condemnation. For there is that in your Conscience tells you according to Scripture, that For every Idle, Vain, Unclean or Profane Word, that Men shall speak, they must give Account thereof to the Pure and Just God in the Day of Judgement.  
Howl than ye Guilty, and be Humbled for your Sins, lest that Day come suddenly upon you, as a Thief in the Night, and sweep you all away; as it did the Old World, who regarded not the Day of their Visitation, but went on in their Sins, until there was no Remedy.  
Awake, awake, ye Dead and Careless-Hearted, who put the Day of the Lord afar off, and cry Peace, when there is no Peace. For, what Peace to the Wicked? There is no Peace to the Wicked, saith the true God; but Peace only upon Zion, and to such as turn from Iniquity in Jacob. So let not one take the Name of Christ in their Mouth any more, until they depart from Iniquity. For such, as go on in the Custom and daily Practice of Sin, and yet think to cover themselves with an Outward Profession of Christ, do but deceive themselves, and increase their Condemnation, adding Sin to Sin. This is God's Truth, which he that hath an Ear, let him hear; and he that hath any Desire in him to return to God, let him consider of, and give Glory to God by Repenting of that, which doth any way dishonour God.  
Also this know for truth, That your Invented, Licentious Gaming for Vain Delights and Pleasures is not of God; but an Invention of that Wicked One, who is called the Devil and Satan, invented to please the Vain and Empty Minds of his Children and Servants, which are out of the Law and Truth of God. But the Children and Servants of God are full of Goodness, and are exercised in the Law and Truth of God Day and Night; and so deny the Devil and his Works. So let no Man deceive any of you, neither be deceived in yourselves; for the Judge is at the Door. And the True light is arisen, which makes manifest every Work, and the Reward of it forever.  
And all ye Stage-Players, Puppit-Players, and the Authors and Inventors of such things, with all that love such Heathenish things, yea, and give your Money for them, that thereby ye may feed the Covetous Lusts in the Players, that thirst after Money; and the Vain Lust of your own defiled Eyes and Ears, which are after Pleasures more than the Lord God, that made you. Know this, That your Works are all weighed in an Equal Balance, and by the Light of Christ you are all seen to be out of the Doctrine of Christ in the Heathenish Nature, upholding and practising those things, which Christ came to destroy. Yea, and by the Light of Christ in your own Consciences, when you are a little sober and still in your Minds, you know, you should not do such things: Here you also have learned your Condemnation, and cannot in this State stand before the Lord, because of your Sins.  
And all ye, that can please yourselves with beholding one Creature hurt, and torment another, yea, sometimes even to Death, as at Bull-Baitings, Bear-Baitings, Cock-fighting, and the like. O! what Minds have ye, and how contrary are ye herein to the Tender Nature of Christ, and all Christians, truly so called, who could never Rejoice in any such things, by reason of their tender, pitiful and merciful Nature! O ye Children of Cruelty! when will your Hearts break, your Stony Hearts melt into Tears before the Lord for all your mighty Sins? and when will you bring your Deeds to the Light, that ye may see the Ugliness of your Sins, and repent of them; lest the Judgements written fall upon you for them, as it did upon all such from the beginning of the World, and there be no escape?  
O England, England! How hast thou defiled thyself by thine Iniquities! How is the Floodgate of Sin broken open in thee to the polluting of thy Land! O, how art thou wholly overspread with Briars, and Thorns, and Weeds! so that the Lord must arise to purge thee by Fire; seeing thou hast refused to wash in that pure Water of Life, that sprung up in thee. So if thou hast an Ear, hear, before it be too late, and the Door be shut.  
T. T.   

YE Feasters, ye Gamesters, ye Drunkards and Gluttons, ye False Christians, whose God is your Belly, and whose Care is how you may satisfy your Ungodly Lusts; you are Enemies to the Cross of Christ. Yea, you crucify Christ afresh to yourselves, and put him to open Shame by your Lewd Living.  
The Hand of the Lord is against you, ye profane Esau's, who have sold and are selling your Birthright for a Mess of Pottage. When will ye Awake, when will ye Arise from off your sinful Bed, where you cry Peace to yourselves in your Sins.  
When will ye lay to Heart the Apostle's Doctrine, ye Common Sinners, who proudly boast of your Common Prayers, and yet depart not from your Iniquities? Is not the Sacrifice of the Wicked an Abomination to God? and will God regard your Prayers, whilst you so love and regard your Iniquities, and walk so contrary to the Doctrine of Christ?  
Doth not the Apostle say, Make no Provision for the Flesh, to satisfy it in the Lusts thereof; and ye in a direct Opposition and Hatred to this Doctrine, make all Provision for the Flesh to fulfil and satisfy it every way in the Lusts thereof. And so your Table is the Table of Devils, and not of Saints; and ye cannot both partake of the Table of Devils, and the Table of Christ, the Apostle being Witness.  
So howl ye Sinners, and Ungodly People, and be Humbled for all your Lewdnesses; and Repent of all your Whoredoms, whereby ye have gone away a Whoring from the Life of Christ, and his Saints. And let your Feast be turned into Fast, and your Laughters and Merriments be turned into Lamentations and bitter Mournings for the Misery that is to come upon you from the Presence of the Lord, in the Day of his Fierce Wrath, which is ●igh to come, and be revealed upon you in Flames of Fire for all your mighty Sins.  
O ye, that are so contrary to Christ, be humbled before the Lord for all your Hypocrisies, who say, You are come out of Popery, and yet continue in some of their Idolatrous Customs, as this profane keeping of the time, which ye in Imitation call Christmas (among other Superstitions) whereby ye show yourselves to be too near of kin to that Whorish Woman, which hath defiled the Earth with her Abominations. Ye make haste to fill up the measure of your Iniquities, as though the time would fail you to make yourselves perfect in Wickedness. And ye seem to entertain Christ as the Heathens of old did their Idols, who thought, The more Vain, Lustful and Wanton that they were, the more they Pleased their Idols, and offered a more Acceptable Sacrifice to their Gods. But O! be humbled for these things, lest the Lord carry you back again into the Belly of Egypt and Blackness of Babylon's Darkness, whither ye have manifested too much a Mind to return. And as a Just Recompense for all your Unrighteousness, he swear in his Wrath, That ye shall never enter into his Rest,  
Thomas Tayler.
