FOR WHITSONTYDS LAST FEAST: THE PRESENT, 1645. ACTS the first: The same JESUS shall come, in like manner as ye have seen him go, etc. Printed in the Year 1645. THE LA: ELEA: HER CREED OR Confession. VErily as We all Believe in GOD, the sole Creator of all Things that were made in the beginning: So according to His promise made also; Concerning the Woman's SEED, (of which the Serpent, forfiture or on pain of his head forewarned to beware:) do believe in our Lord JESUS he the very GOD: alone Redeemer of the World, born of the VIRGIN, which Concerved by the Holy Ghost, our only Sanctifier. Who after he had finished, on the sixth day the work of Our Redemption, and rested the seaventh, risen again; And was by the space of six weeks seen, whose last Commandment was to wait for his Father's promise, of the Holy Ghosts coming in whom We also believe. Wherefore of belief not slow: in those Things written by the Prophets and Apostles, do for mine own part Confess, how incredible soever it seems to Others, I farther believe the second Coming of the holy Ghost, immediately before the day of judgement according to that spoken by the Prophet JOEL, saying: GOD saith, afterward it shall come to pass, I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, before the great and terrible Day of the LORD: Namely, on the Gentiles, their Sons and Daughters likewise: And I will show Wonders in the Heaven's (beside a New Star, not long since signs never known) more frequent and the Earth Blood, and Fire, and pillars of Smoke, etc. W●…sse such warr● 〈…〉 Christian world. Of which last days, give ●●●E leave to say●… Grace and Gifts of LEARNING, how Rich soever They esteem themselves The Gentiles nevertheless of 〈◊〉 Comfort more need had Never, how much soever pres●… upon their Holiness: Supposing like the jews a Saviour for them unnecessary, which held themselves so just: And so because. Christian 〈…〉 cleansed; likewise no more need 〈…〉 ●…ding: Thus all co●…ded under unbeleif, & fearful blindness, unmindful agreeable to the present division, and as both agreeing in one, styled by the Prophet Daniel, a time and times and the deviding of time, whose Commission to continue so long: And then he whosoever shall oppose it never so great: as here he styled the God of the earth no less these two as freely to proclaim open war so often as they please, to smite the Earth or Land with Pestilence and such Judgements, for which Vials of wrath directed to the present Century, so much suffices: and how they were rewarded, their Sackcloth changed into a glorious cloud, and their Foes so much tormented with their testimony, how at the same time such an Earthquak the City fal●ing upon them, except a Remnant which upon Repentance escaped. And all these but speaking one thing in several Languages (to wit) the Resurrections loud voice, and that of the Ascension: as ascendite huc added to those Prophetical sirie tongues of their or fire proceeding out of their mouths, if any will harm them suffices for the ensuing feast also, when fully come or finished wherefore with the 24. Elders that great Coudcell or States sitting upon their seats for ever with one consent and voice: Let great Brittame say. We give thee thrice humble thanks O eternal Trenity, which art, and waste, and art to come, because thou hast taken to thee thy great power and hast reigned. And I believe lastly, though a Mystery none of lest: Like the grace of God bestowed upon the Gentiles, held as impossible a point with the Apostles: That after the last Period expired, their 〈◊〉 a Release out of HELL, Redemption for all the DAMNED, Although granted that sentence Jrevocable, Go ye Cursed, etc. And the unpardonable sin, not in this world nor that to come forgiven: And the fire unextinguished, yet proves their sufferings not of like nature and condition: Notwithstanding in danger, (were God extreme) of endless torment: Therefore if Salt wh●…ch preserves be good, the fire also necessary like those better to enter maimed into Heaven then otherwise go into fire unquenchable which goes not out, to our days without doubt directed (Mark the 9 where so often repeated th●se words concluded, have peace in yourselves. And therefore before that Parable where mentioned the gulf or fixed space, no other than a prefixed space of time. (Luke 15.) That Elders expostulating reproves like unnaturalness in others without compassion of those undergoing the second death in the ●●st Son instanced the second Brother as those words, saying: It was meet, etc. For this thy Brother was dead, and is alive again, was lost, and is found. Approving of that Principle of every thing in the end, goes to its proper place from whence it came to return. And moreover again for the Bottomless pit opened (Revela.) Hell's Epitome and their King over them. where they not having the Seal of God in their foreheads (some name given as it were) These not killed seeking death fleeing from them: shuning so many month's imprisonment: As prisons never so filled as in these days: Shall not need to add what year of God sealed with, etc. where such innumerable Horsemen described to the life. And thus having canseled Purgatories numberless passes and pardons that take upon them to deliver others, and cannot out of such utter spiritual Darkness free themselves derived from: Thou shalt not come forth thence until paid the utmost mite. And he without commisseration of his fellow servant served with the like MEASURE. Take to your comfort those arms displayed, as said to the one, this day Thou shalt be with ME, etc. So infers another day for the Other: And therefore, as the Lord lives that shall raise us from the dust of death so the Lord lives (let us say) that brings up out of the Jaws of HELL bacl to Paradise.
