Ye airy spirits , ye high mindes , ye treacherous hearts , ye Whores and Whoremongers , the God of glory is risen , the Sword is drawn . Ye chaffish mindes , the plagues of God is to confound you all . Ye proud , ye are for the fire which cannot be quenched . Ye proud and lofty , and high-minded , are an abomination : it goes before the fall . Ye lustful ones , the plague and dread of the Lord is to come upon you , who are up in the air , clouds without water , trees without fruit , in your lusts burning , filled with unrighteousness . One tempts another with your beauty , which is vain ; with your apparel , the fashions of it , which your lusts doth increase , which under judgement must be brought , with the terrible God , which is a consuming fire to the proud . And the day of the Lord shall burn the wicked ; plagues and vengeance of God be poured forth upon the Whores , and upon the Whoremongers , and upon the wicked , who burns your selves in your lusts , and brings the plagues of God upon you . Oh you stink before the Lord , Oh you are noysome ; the noysome smell of your flesh stinks , which burns . Ye corrupted ones , plagues , wo and misery is to come upon you all , in whom that nature lives contrary to the light : the works of darkness are seen ; you cannot hide your selves from the secrets of the Lord , but he sees your works , your actions , your deeds . And the light in all your consciences , shall answer Gods judgments , and make you to confess his judgements just , his wrath just , his vengeance just , his plagues just , his destruction just . And this is the word of the Lord to you , and answered shall be in every one of your consciences , in the day of the Lords slaughter . A Witness against all Ungodliness . The Lord God of heaven and earth is not worshipped . To idolatries are you given , and to pleasures and wantonness , and to pride ; so on going without the fear of God , making Images , and so delighting in the works of your own hands , making likenesses of things that be in heaven , of Angels ; and making likenesses of things that be in the sea , and making the likeness of things that be on the earth , of men and women , and creatures , and of the stars , sun and moon ; so follows your own inventions , taking pleasure in the works of your own hands , given up to idolatry , in the day-time , found in pleasures , sporting , and in wantonness , which the Lord sent his Apostles to cry against , who was in the same spirit that gave forth the Scriptures : Therefore we having the same spirit , do cry out against such things now , as Moses and the Prophets , who received the Law from God . So that the Spirit of the Lord is grieved now , to see the images of men and women made of stone and wood , set up and down ; and the likenesses of other creatures , of horses , bulls , birds , fowls in the air , and fishes in the sea and rivers , and creeping things of the earth . And this is found in the inventing minde , in Cain's nature , where the pride , strife and envie is . I am the light of the world , and doth lighten every one that comes into the world , faith Christ the Son of God , the Covenant of life and peace . If you take heed to this Light that comes from the Lord Jesus , and in it walk , you will come to see the Lord Jesus , the Saviour of your souls , from whence this light comes , who is the way to the Father . But if you hate the light which comes from the Lord Jesus , and will not bring your deeds to the light , with the light to be proved , this is the condemnation , the light , faith Christ : which light if ye did love it , would bring you to worship God , and to turn from your inventions , which all is to be condemned with the light , which feedeth the light , wanton , fleshly minde . G. F.
