This to you is the Word of the Lord God . FEar God and give glory to him , for the hour of his Judgements is come , and his dreadful terrible Day will come speedily upon all Nations and People ; therefore worship him that made Heaven and Earth , and the Sea , and the Fountains of Water , and them upholds by the Word of his Power ; let his fear and dread be upon you all : People , see what acquaintance and union you have with him ; he is a God that will not be mocked , who is now coming in his pure dreadful Majesty , and glorious Almighty Power , to break down and dash in pieces like a Potters Vessel all people from the highest to the lowest , from the Prince on the Throne , to the Beggar on the Dunghil , in and amongst all Nations , Kindreds , Languages , Tongues , and People , who put the Day of the Lord God afar off , and live without the knowledge of the onely true God in this world , serving an unknown God in the ignorance of your minds , and in Traditions ; worshipping you know not what , and walking every one in your own wayes , doing your own works , which leads to satisfie the flesh in the lusts thereof : All which is abomination to the onely true and ever living God , to whom you must give an account for every idle word , and all your deeds done in the body . All people upon the face of the Earth , let the time past be sufficient you have lived without the knowledge of the onely true God ; in this day the living God visits you with a day of Visitation of mercy , to declare his Counsel to you , that ●ou may come to the knowledge of him ; be warned to depart from the evil of your wayes , and hearken diligently to the Counsel of the onely true God , who waits upon you to be gracious unto you , whose grace hath appeared unto all men , which is the Light Christ Jesus the Son of God hath ●ighted you with , that discovereth unto you the secret evil of your hearts and consciences ; in the fear of the living God , search your hearts with the Light , which is the Counsel of God , that convinceth you in your hearts and Consciences , that Lying is a sin , Swearing is a sin , Covetousness a sin , Pride a sin , Drunkenness a sin , and Gluttony a sin , Whoredom and Uncleanness a sin , Cozening , Cheating , and Dissimulations sins , Tyranny , Cruelty , and Oppression , and Murther are sins ; which fore-mentioned , cryes to the God of Heaven for Vengeance , which if you do not walk in obedience to the Grace of God , the Light , which discovereth them , to guide you out of them : As the Lord God destroyed the old world , who received not his Counsel , so will the Lord God of Heaven and Earth break in upon all you people , scattered in all Nations , Kindreds , Tongues and Languages ; for his eternal Decree is gone over you all who walk in your wicked wayes , he will break you down and dash you to pieces , and you shall become an abhorring to all flesh : Therefore prize your time while God preserves you , for the Day of your Visitation is come , wherein the God of Heaven visits you , and exhorts you in the Power of his Spirit to return to him , which if you diligently hearken to his Counsel the Light , which sheweth you your evil wayes , and convinceth you of your sins as before written , and wait on him in the Light to lead you out of all Idolatry , and every sinful and evil way ; then will the only true God give you power over your sinful and unclean nature , and he will teach you his Wayes and lead you in the Paths of Righteousness , and save you out of all your Idolatrous wayes you have walked in , and will establish you in eternal Rest and Peace , with all his Children that walk in obedience to his Counsel the Light , which convinceth of sin in the secrets of your hearts and consciences , in which Light he is gathering of his People out of all Nations , Kindreds , Languages , and Tongues , and People , into his own Kingdom , in the Light with him to walk , who is now establishing his Kingdom in the Earth , which Kingdom shall break down all other Kingdoms , and their Dominion take away , and destroy to the end . Then shall the Kingdom of the everliving God be known in the Earth to destroy the Image , ( that will not submit to him , ) and to establish all those that walk in the Light , in his everlasting Kingdom to dwell , and there to praise his Name alone , who is worthy over all , God blessed for ever . HEAR and FEAR all Nations , Kindreds , Tongues , Languages , and People , REPENT and TURN to the onely true God , in hearkning diligently to his Counsel the Light , that convinceth of sin in the secrets of your hearts and consciences , that ye be not cut off in the dreadful terrible Day of the fierce wrath of the everliving God , wherein he will destroy all Idolatry out of the Earth , and perform according to his Word , here to you declared , and none of you shall escape , which disobey his Counsel the Light , and you shall certainly know the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it , what he will bring upon all Nations . Remember you are warned in your life-time , in this Day of your Visitation , if you slight it , your destruction is of your selves , and your blood is upon your own heads . From the Righteous Seed , of whom it is written , It shall be no more said , the Lord liveth that brought us forth of the Land of Egypt ; but the Lord liveth that hath raised up his Seed , and brought it forth of the North-Countrey , Jer. 23. 7 , 8. Forth of the Northern Countrey called England , from the Seed of God there risen , that shall spread over all the Nations of the World . W. D.
