THE TRUMPET Of the LORD SOUNDED, And his SWORD drawn, And the Separation made between the Precious and the Vile; AND The Vineyard of the Lord dressed by his own Husbandmen, and the dead trees cut down, and all the mystery of Witchcraft discovered in all Professions:  
By them who have come thorough great tribulation, whose garments have been washed in the blood of the LAMB; who are accounted as the off-scowring of all things for Christ's sake, scornfully called by the World QUAKERS.  And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great wine-press of the wrath of God. And the wine-press was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the wine-press even to the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand six hundred furlongs. Rev. 14.19, 20. 
London, Printed for Giles Calvert, at the black Spread-eagle near the West-end of Paul's. 1654.   

OH all you that do profess God and Jesus Christ in words, see what you do possess of him. All profession without possession, is nothing but hypocrisy and dissimulation. You have heard long, and professed much in words: but now it is not the hearers, but the doers that shall be justified. For he that saith he loves God and Christ, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. If you love me (saith he) keep my commandments. Now I command you to love one another, with the same love that I loved you withal. By this you may see how you are brought into the obedience of the truth. Love the Lord with all thy heart, and thy neighbour as thyself. Thou must love the Lord with thy hearty love: see if thou do so: If thou say thou dost, and dost not, he knows thy heart, and he will judge thee for thy hypocrisy. Take heed that thou be not found a liar before him. Thou that art in the highest profession, see if thy heart be not abroad in the world, delighting itself in pleasures, or pride, or profit, or wantonness, or anger, or wrath, or peevishness, or perverseness, or covetousness, or delighting in sporting, or idle talking, or foolish jesting, or speaking evil of that thou know'st not: take heed that thou be not delighting thyself in swearing and lying, and drinking, and running a whoring after other lovers. If thy heart love any thing above the Lord, or delight in any thing but in him alone, he knows thy heart, and he will judge thee for dissembling with him: for if thou say thou lovest the Lord, and livest in envy, wrath, backbiting, deceit, oppression, cruelty, or guile, or malice, or hardheartedness, or passionateness, or any of these, the Lord knows the secrets of all hearts; act it never so closely, or subtly, it is naked and bare before the Lord, who is present everywhere, and his eyes are open to behold the good and the evil. Thou mayst make a profession of God and Christ, and make a fair show to the world, and yet be an hypocrite: but if thy heart and tongue be not one, God doth know it, and he will judge thee for it: and if thou make never such a show in outward profession, and seem never so righteous, and do not bridle thy tongue, thy Religion is vain. Pure religion and undefiled is this, before God and the Father, To visit the fatherless and widow, and to let the oppressed go free, and to keep thyself unspotted in the world. Now if thou make a profession in words, and a show, to be seen of men, and do not the works that are required, as to departed from iniquity, and to live righteously, holily, and uprightly in this present world, all thy profession is but hypocrisy, and God will judge thee and plague thee for it. Thou hadst better never have made profession of God and Christ, then to profess him, and live in sin and wickedness. Where is thy love to him, when thou disobeyest him, and breakest his Commandments? There is no love to him, there is none at all to him, if thou do so; but on the contrary, thy love is to the devil: for, know you not, that his servant you are to whom you obey? whether it be of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness. Now if thou obey righteousness, thou art servant to it, and art free from sin: but if thou obey sin, thou art servant to sin, serving the devil, and so art free from righteousness: then where is thy profession?  
The Minister of Jesus Christ is to redeem souls from their vain conversation. See what you are redeemed from, if you be not yet in your sins: if you be, you are enemies to him. The Ministry of Jesus Christ is a Ministry of love, and joy, and peace in the holy Ghost. It is a glorious Ministry, not formal, but spiritual. You that profess it, see that you put in practice what you profess: if thou profess thyself to be a Christian, obey the commands of Christ; make manifest the fruits of thy Ministry. Be not a fore-sayer, but I charge thee by the Lord that thou put in practice, or else profess nothing at all. If thou do profess love, and do not perform it, what is thy profession worth? Dost thou cloth the naked, dost thou feed the hungry, dost thou let the oppressed go free? If thou dost not, thou art not obedient to the commands of Christ. Dost thou love thy enemies, dost thou bless them that curse thee, dost thou pray for them that hate thee, and despitefully use thee? Christ saith, Swear not at all: dost thou so? He saith, Go not to law: dost thou not? Let your conversation be without covetousness: is it so? He saith, Recompense no man evil for evil: dost thou so? He saith, Vengeance is mine, and I will repay it: dost thou obey him, and keep his say? If thou do not, what use is thy profession of? It grieves the Spirit of the Lord, to see the wellfavoured harlot, how she sits in the street, deceiving the simple, and ensnaring them; and how she is painted with the Saints words, and with Christ's, and professes 'tis love to him, and persecutes him to death, where he is made manifest in his people. She sits as a Queen, but she must come down and sit in the dust ere long: and you must all give an account of your profession, wh●t fruits you have brought forth. For the Lord is coming to separate the sheep from the goats, and your works will be tried, whether your love be made manifest or no: He will say, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you: when I was hungry, you fed me; when I was thirsty, you gave me drink; when I was naked, you clothed me; when I was sick in prison, you visited me. They will say, When did we see thee so? Yea, said he, in my members ye did: for inasmuch as ye did it to them, yet did it to me. Here are the fruits of the righteous. Now the Lord is coming to look for fruit, see that your fruit be good that you bring forth, I mean ye that are professors: for if it be not good, it will not be accepted; for every tree that brings not forth good fruit, must be hewn down, and cast into the fire. Your works must be tried by the fire; and if they be unrighteous, they must with the trees be cast into the lake that burneth. See if ye obey the Commandments of Christ, or of the Devil. The carnal heart saith, God is an hard Master: but he is not: it is none but the evil and slothful servant that saith so: for he is exceeding good, his commandments are not grievous, but joyous: The carnal heart saith it is hard to keep them. But where is thy love towards him, when thou dost disobey him? When he saith, If ye love me, keep my commandments; the carnal ones say, It is hard to keep the commandments of the Lord, but the devils commandments are easy; they can keep them with ease, and go on in joy and delight: it is no trouble to keep the devils commandments. Saith he, You may be proud, it is but Decency: he saith you may be covetous; it is but a provident care: he saith you may be angry; it keeps others in subjection to you: he saith you may be drunk; it is but good-fellowship: he saith you may be oppressors; it will bring you in gain: and he saith you may use deceitful merchandise; for if you do not as the world do, ye shall lose by them: he saith you may swear and lie; they will believe you the better: he saith you may be envious, and hate; or else they will not matter for you. And so in every unrighteous act, he will make a cloak for it, to cover it. And for to live in unrighteousness it is very easy: you may run on the broad way to destruction with joy and delight: but to act in righteousness it is very hard. And then you say the way is narrow to keep in it: it is so; therefore if ever you come to Zion, you must go on the straight way: for, it is the straight way that leadeth to life, and few there be that find it; but broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there be that follow it. Let every one that nameth the name of Christ, depart from iniquity: for, no unclean thing shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: for he is of purer eyes then to behold iniquity. Therefore perfect holiness in the fear of the Lord; and live not in words, but bring forth fruits meet of amendment of life; and cease from evil, and turn to the Lord, that he may have mercy upon you. If you be willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land: but if you be disobedient and stiffnecked, than woe and misery will be your portion: for the day of the Lord is coming in power, and he will gather his elect unto himself. See if you can yet witness your election, that your names may be written in the book of Life: if ye cannot, ye are deceived already: then what use is all your profession of? it will prove hypocrisy; and it were better never to have made a profession, then to profess and not put in practice what you profess. For it is not they that say they love God and Christ, but they that make their love manifest by their works, that shall be accepted, by yielding up obedience to his Commands. If you say you love God and Christ, in words, and your actions be contrary, it is but hypocrisy. You may profess much in words; but if your hearts be not one with your tongues, to guide them; though they may prophesy in his Name, yet if they be workers of iniquity, they must departed; and Christ will say, Depart, ye workers of iniquity; I know you not. Therefore be not sayers, but doers, and be what you speak in all things; and do not speak one thing, and do another: for God doth love the upright in heart. See how you are built up into the truth: for the Saints that spoke forth the Scriptures were what they spoke, and they spoke what they lived in: they were the workmanship of God, created in Christ jesus to good works. See if you can witness this yet: see what you are wrought out of, and what ye are wrought into. And live not in words, but bring forth fruit, that God may be glorified, that you may be what you profess in reality. For the day of the Lord is coming, wherein the deceits shall be laid open, and all things made manifest, as it is: all secrets shall be revealed, the secrets of all hearts. And all the crowns of men shall be thrown down: for how can ye believe, which seek honour one of another, and seek not the honour which is of God alone? All the haughtiness of man shall be brought down, and all the loftiness of men laid low: all secret pride, and secret envy, and secret malice, and secret revenge, and secret subtlety, and secret hypocrisy, and secret dissimulation, shall be laid open, and made manifest; and they shall all be ashamed of the evil of their do, and the pure naked truth be unveiled and spread abroad, that righteousness may flourish, and see the Lord set up and honoured, and rule and reign for evermore. The Lord will plague the Beast, and judge the Whore, and punish the wicked very sore. Sing Hallelujah to the Highest for ever.  

A Separation betwixt the people of God, the righteous seed, that ever suffered with the seed of evil doers, that each may know that witness, and see ye have a cloud of witnesses, who are the seed of the righteous; and you may see you have a cloud of witnesses who are the seed of evil doers, persecuting the righteous seed. Priests, People, and Rulers, you know the letter speaks, and you may read it in Matthew, and all along the Scriptures, how the Priests, People, and Rulers were against Christ: in which generation you show yourselves to be; and clear yourselves for the generation of the seed of the righteous. Do not you hale out of your Synagogues, and hale before Magistrates? Do not you here fulfil Scripture, which Christ prophesied of? Do not you imprison, which Christ speaks of? Do not you stone with stones, showing yourselves to be in the generation that stoned Steven, that cried against the Temple? Acts 7. And do not you hale and beat them that come to speak the truth freely in your Temple, showing yourselves openly to be in that generation that beat the Apostles, and haled them out of the Temple? And do not your Teachers go in the way of Balaam, for gifts and rewards, who had the spirit of error, showing ye have erred from the truth? Do they not go in the way of Cain, to envy, who would murder? And do you not scorn, and mock, and wonder, and despise, as they did against David, and Paul, and the rest of the servants of God? Are not your Teachers they that Christ speaks of, which said, Beware of the Scribes and Pharisees, which stand praying in the Synagogues, and have the chiefest places in the assemblies, called of men Masters, devouring widows houses? Are not all your Teachers such which Christ cried woe against? Are not you such, and your generation, that ever persecuted the righteous seed, who had the form and the colour, but not the power? That generation persecuted Christ and the Prophets, which is the seed of evil doers, a generation that is wise in their own eyes, a generation that is swift to shed blood; the same generation that persecuted the Martyrs in nature. You cry out of your father's martyring, how Queen Mary imprisoned and burned: you are in the same nature. It was the generation that held up the outward Temple, the outward Worship, that ever persecuted. Priests and People, Where did any of the Apostles stone any, persecute any, or imprison any, or cause any to be imprisoned, or haled before a Magistrate? Oh horrible! how dare you profess Christ, and walk in the doctrines of devils? Where did Christ give any such command to act any such thing? You take him for your cloak, and talk of his blood, who are murderers, bloodsuckers, hunting after blood, to devour the righteous seed, as all your fathers did in all ages, in the time of jeremiah, in the time of Isaiah; in the time of David, in the time of the Apostles: they stoned, they imprisoned, punched, and beat, etc. And these be all your witnesses, and they be your fathers who acted before you, who had gotten the form of words, as you have. Here be ye witnesses that ye are the same generation in nature, and have your cloud of witnesses which ever persecuted the righteous seed, as you daily make it manifest. Both Priests, Rulers, and People, this I am moved of the Lord to write unto you, to let you see yourselves: for you have not learned Christ at all. For we have a cloud of Witnesses which were stooed by your generation, as you may read in the Hebrews, and in divers places; they were stoned, mocked. Paul was stoned for denying the outward Temple; Steven was stoned to death, who denied the outward Temple: John was banished: they took up stones to stone Christ the righteous seed: And where Christ is made manifest, you do so now. Christ to day, yesterday, and for ever. Praises, praises be to the Lord God Almighty for ever. Our suffering is our joy, our reproach is our riches. Search the Scriptures, and you will find it to be so.  
Do not your Priests cry, Murder them? Do not your People cry, Stone them? Do not you wag your heads at them? Do not you gnash your teeth at them which you call Quakers? Moses quaked, David quaked, Jeremiah shaked, who cried against the Priests. You may as well cry, Stone Moses, Paul, David, Jeremiah, and the rest of the holy men of God who quaked and trembled, as they who witness quaking, who quaked and trembled as they who witness quaking now, as they did then. Here you show yourselves to be the seed of bloodsuckers thirsting after blood.   

O Ye bloodsuckers, which hunt after blood, which lay traps and snares to slay the righteous! Oh what a profession is this you live in, that are so full of fury and rage! some mocking, some beating, some plotting and lying in wait to shed the innocent blood: and yet you dare make a profession of God and Christ. Christ never taught that doctrine. And there you show yourselves to be as bloody persecutors as ever the Jews were, who crucified Christ, and sought to slay the Apostles. Oh England, England, is this the fruit of thy Ministry, that your vineyard bears which you have planted? How, ye vinedressers; how is the vine yard full of briers and thorns! Oh how is the vineyard full of dead trees, which cumber the ground, and bring forth no fruit! Oh how are the Springs stopped, which should water it, with the Philistims! Oh how full is the vineyard of Serpents! Oh how full is the vineyard of thistles and nettles! Oh how full is the vineyard of weeds? Oh how full is the vineyard of wild beasts, and of trees that bear wild grapes, and sour grapes, which set the children's teeth on edge! Oh, time hath been, and now is, that the pretended Dressers and Looker's to the vineyard are blind, and do not know one tree from another, and cannot distinguish a Lamb from a Dog, a Sheep from a Goat, a Dove from a Kite. Full is the vineyard of wolves, strong horses neighing, and the horses of Pharaoh and his chariots whirring up and down: and the vineyard is full of thiefs and robbers, and full of drunkards, drunk with the wine of the sour grape. The Land is full of Oaths, and mourns because of such. The flesh hath been defiled: the Land is full of respecting of persons. But now is the Lord arising, and risen, which respects no man's person, and lays the axe to the root of the trees; every one that brings not forth good fruit, must be hewn down, and cast into the fire. For now is the Lord sending his sons, and daughters, and servants into the vineyard. Spears are broken, and turned into mattocks and ploughshares, and swords into pruning-hooks. Some are ploughing up, and some are hacking up, and some are pruning, and some are dividing the sheep from the goats, and the lambs from the wolves, making a distinction, putting a difference; and some are bridling their horses which have been wild: some are distinguishing the Kites from the Doves, and putting a difference between the precious and the vile, betwixt the holy and unholy. Tremble, ye mountains and hills, before the Lord: for out of Zion doth the Lord utter his voice. woe, woe to all you who inhabit the earth: you will be scattered as the wind scatters the chaff; you will be consumed as the fire consumes the stubble: for the mighty day of the Lord is coming, that shall burn as an oven: look upon an oven when it is burning, and you are afraid to go into it: but the fire of the Lord is coming, which will burn you all up, root and branch. The mouth of the Lord hath spoken it, who will perform his word, and none of you that are proud and wicked can escape it: whether you will hear, or whether you will forbear, the Word of the Lord shall stand.   

TO all you who profess the Scriptures to be your Rule and Touchstone to try withal, who fine men because they will not put off their hats at your Sessions, at your Assizes, at your Courts. When did any of the heathenish Kings or Magistrates in any Age set up such a Law? Read the Chronicles thorough, and give an example, else you show yourselves to outstrip all the heathenish kings. When did ever Moses, who was a Judge over all Israel, command any people that came before him to put off their hats, and fine them if they would not bow to him? Or where did ever David or Solomon, who were Kings, command any to put off their hats which came before them, and fine them if they would not do it? Here you show yourselves, that you outstrip all the heathenish Kings, who had not received the Law from God; and the righteous Kings, that had received the Law from God. The Law saith, Thou shalt not bow down to any but the Lord God: though there was a time when Jacob bowed to Esau, and there was a time when Israel bowed to Pharaoh; and there was a time when Pharaoh was destroyed and his host, and Israel sung over Pharaoh: must Israel then bow to Pharaoh when he is destroyed? Then came the command from God, when Israel was brought out of Egypt, saying, Thou shalt not bow down to any creature. For he that respects persons, transgresseth this Law. Many will bow to great men, that have a great deal of earth, and fine apparel; but not to a poor man, that hath not fine apparel: and there he is a transgressor of the righteous Law: for who respects persons, commits sin. And there was a time when Haman made a gallows, and who would not bow to him might be hanged: and the true Jews, who had received the righteous Law of God, could not bow to him. And there was a time when Haman was hanged upon his own Gallows. And there was a time when Nabuchadnezzar made an Image, and all that would not bow to it, were cast into the fiery furnace: and there was a time his kingdom was rend, and the Image, whose head was gold, whose breast was silver, whose belly and thighs were brass, whose legs were iron, whose feet were part iron and part clay, the Stone cut out of the mountain without hands, strikes at the feet of the Image, and he comes to be hewn down. But Nabuchadnezzar cannot understand this dream, but Daniel, who was a trembler, understood the stone, and the watcher, and saw the Kingdom and Dominion that endures for ever: he saw Nebuchadnezzar's kingdom, who would have all bow to him, become as the grass that withers away. So adieu all carnal ones, who stumble at this cornerstone.  
G. F.   

WE are accused to deny the Scriptures. The Scriptures do we not deny: the holy men of God spoke them forth as they were moved by the holy Ghost: and they were given forth by inspiration of the Spirit; and they are of no private interpretation: they were not given forth by the will of man. They that gave forth the Scriptures, were such as ever suffered by the seed of evil doers, and testified against them: therefore the seed of evil doers must be kept out of the Scriptures, judged cut: They that spoke them forth, judged the seed of evil doers, and kept them out. All who had the life of the Scriptures, and set them forth, cried against such as bare rule by their means. The Scripture speaks against them: they must be kept out of the Scriptures. Such as jangle about the Saints conditions, such as seek for gain from their quarters, and are hirelings, and seek for the fleece, they did not give forth the Scriptures; but such as cried against these, gave forth the Scriptures; and all who have the life of the Scriptures, as they had who gave them forth, testify against such now, as they did then: and such must be kept out of the Scriptures. And such as go in the way of Cain, and after the error of Balaam in covetousness, did not give forth the Scriptures: who had the life of the Scriptures, testified against such, and kept them out of the Scriptures: and so all who have the life of the Scriptures now, must keep such out of the Scriptures now. Israel slew Baal. And all such as were called of men Master, stood praying in the Synagogue, had the choicest places in the Assemblies, uppermost rooms at Feasts, laid heavy burdens upon the people, gave not forth the Scriptures: keep such out of the Scriptures: for who had the life of the Scriptures, testified against such. And all such as deny perfection, and overcoming of sin, are Ministers of Antichrist; they di● not give forth the Scriptures: keep such out of the Scriptures: for who had the life of the Scripture, testified against such, and kept them out. Holy men of God spoke forth the Scripture, and testified against all sin and imperfection. All such as buy and sell the Saints words, and make a trade of the Prophets, Christ's, and his Apostles words, must be kept out of the Scriptures; for they wrest and pervert it, and make people believe they are gifted, whenas the gift of God is not to be bought and sold for money: keep such out of the Scriptures; for they are liars, evil beasts, and slow-bellies, false prophets, and such as deny the light, that say Christ hath not enlightened every one that cometh into the world; who go about to make Christ a liar, and a false Prophet: such keep out of the Scripture; for they are liars, and false Prophets, and Dreamers: who had the life of the Scriptures, kept such out; and who have the life of the Scriptures, keep out such now. Here you dwell clear and pure, in true judgement, and know what to receive. The life which gave forth the Scriptures, that life must speak them forth again. All subtle Serpents keep out of the Scriptures: who had the life, kept them out, testifies against them, though they applied Abraham's words, who were not of Abraham: he who was the life, kept them out of the Scripture: and now, all who apply the Prophets and Apostles condition, Christ's words, and have not life, such must be kept out for ever. All such who have the life of the Scriptures, received the simplicity and innocence, and they put a difference betwixt the holy and profane, clean and unclean, and what was polluted, and what was not polluted; and what was torn, and what was holy: they were not to eat what died of itself. All who are in the first birth, born of the flesh, gave not forth the Scriptures: such were persecutors of them who are born of the Spirit: such keep out of the Scripture, for they are enemies to that which gave out the Scriptures, so are to be kept out of the Scriptures.   

OH doth not something in you cry a voice for equity, for equity, to set open the door of equity? The Innocent cries for the law of equity, which respects no man's person, how much of the earth he hath, or how little; equity respects neither, but equity: for, the earth is the Lords, and the fullness of it. When the door of Equity is set open, than mercy rejoices the simple ones. Oh therefore hearken to Equity, and that which cries for it in your hearts and consciences, and so break the bands by showing mercy. And while Iniquity rules, Equity is oppressed and prisoned, and the lustful nature rules, which crosses Equity for its own ends, to gather in riches together on heaps, some by cozening, or lying, or cheating. And all these things Equity cries out of thee, and tells thee of all thy actions privately, when thou art by thyself, and when thou art public. Equity cries for justice and righteousness, and against all sin, and swearing, and lying, and adultery, and covetousness, and drunkenness: for this destroys honesty and reasonableness. And Equity cries in all your hearts and consciences for equity: for it is burdened with deceit, and unjust deal, and corruptions. Harken, harken in your consciences, how it cries for equity, and with sighs and groans cries upon the Lord for mercy and equity, and the Lord doth often send his Angel to relieve the simple: for lust and pride oppresseth it, and it is burdened with it, and often tells thee All is vanity, which thy lustful will and mind delighteth in, which is without, and which is in the first birth; and would have thee to hearken to equity, and within, and not to thy lust, that thou mightst have unity with God, and not with the world: for the whole world lies in wickedness, where equity cannot enter; it cryeth up and down the streets: but hard hearts, and drunkards, and cursed speakers, cozeners and cheaters, and thou high and lofty one, and whoremongers, and idolaters, and oppressors, and dissemblers, ye all shut the door of Equity: when it cries to enter, there is no room for it amongst these thiefs: for ye all must be brought before the great Judge of heaven and earth, which despise Equity: The great Judge is coming, to render vengeance upon all that act contrary to Equity, and in your own knowledge, and out of your own mouths shall ye be judged, in righteousness: for he is righteous that judgeth, and hath spoken.   

MEn bring up their children in natural Learning, to have natural Books, and Languages, as Hebrew and Greek; and have the Schools of Oxford and Cambridge, which they call the two Mothers of Divinity, which is Divinity: and so training up in the natural, lives up in the natural man, both in pride, in knowledge, in person, set up, called of men Master; and so with his books, and Learning which he got at Oxford and Cambridge, he trade's with others, and natural Languages, and tells people it is the Original, and saith he is sent of Christ; which is the Whore and the Beast upon the waters, that is the people; and so all this is Witchcraft, Whoredom, Sorcery, Divining and Conjuring, Hypocrisy and Dissembling, and was never sent of Christ; for the Gift of God cannot be bought and sold, but the letter; and Carnal sells the Carnal, but the Word cannot be sold, by which all things stand and remain.  
Another he stands up, and saith he is the Minister of Christ, which never was at Oxford and Cambridge, but hath had some experience of the Truth tasted: and he is got up into notions, and fleed the Cross: he goeth out and trades, and sells his experiences, and saith he is gifted; which is false, for the gift of God is not to be bought and sold for money. Now the Truth is not to be bought and sold for money; but, Freely ye have received, freely give. Truth was sent forth without bag, or purse, or silver, or scrip, or two coats, or a stick to defend it: for their weapons were spiritual; and all the others, which Christ hath not sent forth, their weapons are carnal, they ride with their carnal swords, and run to a carnal Magistrate to defend them, and to get their carnal means of the poor people, which do not pay them: and those Jesus Christ never sent forth. Where the pure light Christ is made manifest in Magistrate or People, it doth discover them, and deny them. And the one he preacheth a Christ without, and the other he preacheth a Christ within. And he that preacheth Christ within, and he that preacheth Christ without, are both without; for they both have him in the notion; for he must be within, and not speak. For where Christ is risen and speaketh, he denies him that speaks a Christ within in the notion, and him that speaks of him without in the notion, and all the earthly powers to uphold them, and none but God alone to uphold him in his strength and power, by his own Spirit. And he that preacheth Christ without, he knows him not, but only takes him for a Clack, and the Prophets and Apostles to trade with them; like a Stage-player, which acts a Stage-play aloft, with Points, and Reasons, and Uses, and Authors, and old Fathers, and Trials, and Matins, and singing David's quakings, cry, prophecies, prayers, and praises; and so act a Stage-play for money; and he that will give the most, thither he goes; and where they will not give him money, he will not act his Play there. And he that preacheth and saith Christ is within, he must be dumb, and not speak; and the reason and the carnal part must speak him, and the dumb is crucified. And he that speaks him within, and he that speaks him without, know him not with their carnal reason. Where he is risen, and comes to be King, there he denies all the world's ways, Diviners and Conjurers, and denies all the world, and reigns over all the corruption of man. To him alone be all glory, who reigns over all, and is King of Saints, King of Kings, Lord of Glory, blessed for ever. To whom be all Glory for ever. Amen.  
Written by a friend of the Truth of the living God, to all whom it may concern.   

THe Lord God of power is thundering, and uttering them forth against all you, and upon the top of all your Powers of Witchcraft, Charmers, and Enchanters, who live in your Sorcery, and Whoredom, and Witchcraft, and Mystery of Iniquity. The Lord is risen and rising to thresh you down with an Iron rod. The weight of the Lords hand is upon you, and stretched over you; which goes to the Pope's head. All bag and baggage must be taken. The Sword of the Almighty is drawn against all your Popish ways. Your Witchcraft and Whoredom is come up before the Lord, to hue down and trample. The Horse is gone forth, Death, Death: All your Idols, all your Jewels, all your Pictures, all your Beads, earth to the earth. All your Chanters, and all your Charmers, will stand you in no stead. All your Counsellors will not hid you in the day of the Lords wrath. All your outside knowledge of Angels, of the Apostles, of Christ, of Mary, will not save you, nor stand you in any stead. For the day of the Lords wrath is come among you; a day of Vengeance: the fire is kindling. All your Pictures, all your Crosses and Crucifixes, must make a fire to burn you. The Lord hath stretched his hand against you.  
woe unto Rome, and all her Popish ways. woe unto all the Priests in England, who had the Popish Law. Ye Jesuits, ye Enchanters, Mystery of Wratchcraft; the Sword is drawn out against you, to cut you down. Ye high Ekens, which thought none had been able to make War against you; now is the hand of the Lord of hosts upon you all, and his Army is gathering, and his Sword is drawn, which hath two edges, that before him none should escape. The Land shall be plain before his host. The Lord hath spoken it. To you all, this is the word of the Lord. The hand of the Lord is stretched out against all the Adulterers and Idolaters; and the Sword of the Lord lies upon the Pope's neck.
