Before the Lords second coming, OF The last Days To be visited, Signed with the Tyrant Pharaohs Overthrow. ACTS 3. 22, 23. A Prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your Brethren, like unto me, etc. And it shall come to pass, Every soul which will not hear that prophet, shallbe destroyed among the people. September▪ octo: or November Printed in the year, 1650. The most Mighty his Messenger, ELINOR DOUGLAS, Dowger; Daughter of Lo: Audeley, Lo: Touchet, E: of Castlehaven: To them of England, France, Scotland, Ireland and Wales; BRethren of these distracted. Dominions, hereof in a word, without which, that tried Gold in the fire coveted, and whitened Raiment, eyesalve, of that sort or anointing, do but bathe an Ethiopian, spur Balaams' ass, since other Balm or way none beside, when have tried all, but by the word to try the Spirits, whether counterfeit or current, Scriptures to search, those Mines, a business worthy of as serious dispute as whatsoever: namely, whether for blaspheming against the holy Ghost hath not brought upon us this judgement unexpected, wherein delay no less perilous than heretofore pernicious, untimely tasting that paparadice fruit, whose precious gates when as come to pass set open, The crystal flowing living fountain to all passengers free, supposed to have been dried up: The reserved Tree of Life likewise given gone, monthly rendering its golden Largess, attained not to its maturity till now: whose wholesome leaves dispersed, daily for assuaging the Nations festered wounds assigned, so requisite those Supernaturals against unnatural waged wars: These not the first time pressed, But Gallio cared for none of these matters, (Acts 18.) although deny the holy Ghost; by consequence The Lord that bought them. Moreover accompanied with frequent Blasphemies, by the Trade called Religion set abroach, Scriptures not more in thraldom to Romanists, their state of Ignorance, than the holy Ghost endeavoured to be enslaved (Arrogancy the worst) by them styled Our Reformers and Deliverancers, distraction of no common consequence, destructive to concord among Brethren-Nations, in their Brother's eye narrowly observed, discern a mote: Execrable Opinions theirs, nevertheless a Beam such a mountain in their own, esteems it not considerable: Foes of our grand Freedoms and Liberties, whatsoever they pray, Thy Kingdom come, say in their hearts, Torment us not before our time; not only entrenched Zion about, have scaled new Jerusalem's walls, undermined her Bulwarks: But outstripping Savages of late have slain most barbarously our two Sacred Ambassadors, Those Witnesses as impreached (Revel. 11.) The last days, whose Ringleader the foul Beast ascended out of the Abyss, by undeniable evidence charged with the gift of Prophecies Lamp extinguished, trodden under foot that holy City, etc. exchanged for their gifts sent one to another, or Simony, triumphing over their corpse, because tormented them with their published Commission, testified that solemn Oath taken, (Rev. 10.) of Tyrant times being cut off, and unhappy generation, such to be no more. And so much for these precious passages, all plainly speaking of Prophecies return or resurrection, like the Eagles renewing her strength, immunities not inferior to former times, withal informing what Mutineers in Court and City, against these 2 books in special of the Prophets, Daniel and John, both which men revived but by a touch, etc. the one continuing until King Cyrus, the other until the City's destruction, Types and Figures before the Church's Deliverance time: How long in captivity under Tyrants, Lawless wretches, not unlike those ruins of the Temple, darksome uninhabited Faults in the possession of Owls and their Mates, whose Houses and Riches become their Heaven and god. And so come to Time's Mystery, his golden Hourglass, whereof thus, (Revel. II.) he where bidden to arise, etc. his casting it up to be forty two Months, in short as much to say, By three years and a half, pointing to the number of Seven, extends not only to the Seventeenth Century, but expressly to the present Jubilee, from that moiety or dividing of Time, so over and over pressed by those sealed Writs of theirs: The Prophet Daniel his multiplied weeks, as informs, saying Seven weeks, and Seventy weeks are determined, etc. And in the midst of the week, etc. but several voices all in one, expressing the aforesaid Jubilee or fiftieth year, appointed that of pardon, whereof our Lord on this wise, It is impossible but that offences will come, (Luke 17.) But woe unto him, etc. no less than Great Britain's neck-Verse, that shall offend one of these, styled his Little ones, a Millstone then other Ornament more proper for such a one, as in reference hereto, bears date even his last return (an. 49.) seven times seven. And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again, thou shalt forgive (or receive) him: bear witness the Disciples, Lord increase our Faith, to wit, Defenders of the Faith styled, never at so low an ebb, as that sure Oracle replied, had they Faith as a grain of mustard, etc. Need not fear the day of judgement tidings, or Worst of Tyrants concluding it, how faring with them when the Son of Man revealed, vers. 24. one taken the other left, demanded where Lord such Massacre, and woeful wars refers them to the Roman Ensign, the Eagle, where the corpse, etc. And so much for this, be it known to all, Touch not mine anointed, do my Prophets no harm, with a touch of Time's week its Mystery, the most Supreme, set at nought for Onions and Garlic, those anointings in stead of Canaan's Grapes and Olives, by Oxford naaman's, are not the Rivers of Damascus better? So proceeding with Sodom's Map of those two Prophets crucified, exposed like some Malefactors not suffered to be interred, where three days and half (and years) beside sounding the general Resurrections Alarm, Months forty two, theirs contributing thereto, for a time, times, and dividing of Time, with one consent crown the Seventeenth Century, 500 years fulfiilling a period, shadowed under Hyergly pick figures, how honoured the Spirit of prophecy then poured out, as by those two in Sackcloth Liveries, their agreeing in one, and them whoso hurts or dishonours with untimely death repaid, fire proceeding out of their mouths. At whose word (that wine) Waters turned into Blood, Wars foreshowed, restrain the Heavens, smite the Earth with Plagues as often as they please, styled The two Olive Trees, and Two Candlesticks, expelling darkness; the healing nature of Oil not unknown, requires no farther amplification, shown to be the Books of the greatly beloved Man, and that Disciple whom the Lord loved: So, Come, saith the Spirit, and Come, saith the Bride, and those will take gratis: and If any man take away, etc. for I testify unto every MAN: Lest the last Error worse than the first, when the bad Spirit tempting, and the woman. Thus passing on, when the Spirit poured out a passage when opened in Heaven, the Holy Prophets giving thanks, the time come of their awakening, opened also the gates of Hell, such an uproar about Father Times being cut off, those tidings the City setting on fire, the Nations stung, their time come forth to be judged, (Rev.) the Devil wild for company, loses no time by Sea and Land, because his but short greatly wrath. On all sides thus, how the Mystery abounds of Iniquity, witness our wand'ring Stars, visible in this horrible Age, so many though charged with abusing their Toleration or Liberty of conscience: no wonder, when higher Powers express no better use made of theirs, then by leasing and scoffing to abuse the Holy Ghosts long-suffering, of whose Apostasy and Erroneous actings, extending to delay of the day of judgement, not sensible of ou● entrance thereinto: And detaining the Kingdom of Heaven from the true owners, By reason of certain Reserves or doubtful Speeches, matter of Reality failing, our fluent Tertullus' inform: Because said, Of the day and hour knows no man, and to Thiefs approach likened by night; hold forth, need not be beholding, or farther consolation expected for Zion, that fear causeless, lest set at nought their Trade, no farther watch requisite, teach the good man of the house may take his ease, (Mat. 24.) as upon that mistake went abroad of that Disciples not dying, taken for a second Elias, Job. etc. Because of the concealed day and hour, which matters not: Go on in deferring amendment, sufficient tokens come forth of the last Day, though pricking the hearts of very jews. Of which store not all expended, Aaron's distilings, or her renowned anointing to the end of the world, tendered not by way of ostentation or self-ends, seasonable as looking towards Sodom: Showing extant on Record in several Courts since an. 1633. and asore to a year, a Month, and the very day, under her hand, foreshowed matters then of highest nature of late executed as by so many years' durance undergone, since then when deemed impossibilities or distraction. As farther, by credible persons to be testified, no few about the City, how accompanied with Miracles no inferior ones: Beside Devils, also dumb Spirits cast out, most outrageous of all other, with as ample commission and convincing testimony, as ever Moses and Elias, if not a greater, except the Age become more deaf or unmoveable than that pillar of Salt, Lots metamorphosed wise, her Execution sign, or then our Wyldshires' stonage wonder, as proper for Pharaohs of these days. And as closes (displaying his pedigree offspring of the Prophet David, saying, I come shortly) with that Benection, Blessed are they that do his Commandment, that they may have right to the Tree of Life, whose Leaf withers not or changes: And may enter in through those everlasting gates, twelve of the new City, so Monthly Humiliations and other like Superstitions observed, no other then (Dan. 3.) when ye hear the sound, etc. Whoso falleth not down, etc. and If any man buy or sell, save he that hath the mark of the Beast, etc. alike acceptable, leaving the other undone, (to be excommunicated with Dogs, etc.) Be it ordained (even) upon pain of Death. Deo sit gloria, etc. From the Queen's Bench. September, etc. FINIS.
