And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Ccmc out of htr my people, that ye he not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. A^LTHOUGII we are assembled within these walls, by the call of our civil fathers, whom we ought to respect, I do not address you in the character of a politician. Let that be done by those whom God, through the instrumentality of our own personal suf^ frages, hath appointed to the duty. The oath of the Lord is upon them ; their interests are inseparably mingled with our own ; they are the descendants of those, who have hitherto guided our State safely ; neither, can it be that they want firmness of mind to go before us in the darkest times. I address you, Brethren, in the more humble cha- racter of a servant of the people of the Lord, who should obey the laws of Christ's just and peaceful kingdom, and look to him to be protected, against such violence as is practised by the kingdoms of the earth. Leaving the politician to his duty, let us, as Christians, now look to the spirit, the example, the ■FsaatK*. word of him by whose blood we hope to be saved ; of him who said, Peace 1 leave with you. my peace I give unto you ; of him who said, All those wh§ take the sword^ shall perish with the sword. In the covenant of redemption between the Father and the Son, a kingdom was appointed. It is the kingdom of love and righteousness. It began in the promise. The seed of the woman shall bruise the head of that serpent by whose temptation those lusts of men were introduced, from which come wars and fightings, with every evil work. Of this mediatorial kingdom Christ is the glorious head ; hence, he is called the King whom God will place on his holy hill of Zion. To him the Father hath promised, *' I will give thee the heathen for thine ** inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth '* for thy possession." God hath said, that the rulers of the earth should be under his govern- ment, and that he should break them as with a rod of iron, and dash them in pieces as a potter's vessel. i It is the King in Zion we are this day to worship, and to him our prayers are to be offered, that the wrath of man, which we unexpectedly find risen in our own country, may praise him. Nothing will be permitted to take place here on earth, that infinite wisdom cannot make the means of establishing: a kingdom of eternal righteousness and peace. This King hath all men in his hand, and those who do not receive the Spirit of his kingdom, he will break xvith ifiwuniwhrrr ^ pe to be saved ; h you. my peace All those wh§ sword, veen the Father iited. It is the It began in the shall bruise the ition those lusts ich come wars ork. Of this glorious head ; God will place the Father hath sathen for thine rts of the earth said, that the er his govern- as with a rod i as a potter's lay to worship, ffered, that the lly find risen in •^Jothing will be h, that infinite F establishing a \ peace. This lOse who do not will break xvith his terrors, and finally consume by the brightness of his appearance and of his coming. Considering that the kingdom of Christ is a king- dom of peace, and that he hath in his hand all men, all who thirst for blood, and all nations ; on first at- tending to this subject, it may appear strange that so many wars and fightings are permitted by him to take place in the earth. But we must remember, that although all men are in his hand, they arc not all his people, nor do they all believe the Christian religion, or live in the exercise of that spirit, which was found in him, when he dwelt here to be our ex- ample. He permits the violent dispositions of men, that there may be a complete practical exhibition of the spirit of love and the spirit of enmity ; that the nature of sin may appear, and its bitter fruits be tasted, so that there may be the highest evidence of this truth. He that hatetH'his brother hath not the love of God in him. To Christians, who have any just ideas of the spi- rit of the gospel, the present state of the nations exhibits a very instructive spectacle. It excites the interesting inquiries. What will be the end of these things ? What is the God of all the earth doing ? What ought our own temper, and our own conduct to be? I presume such inquiries have passed in all your minds, my Brethren ; and although you are not I ■' 8 rulers in the State, you have a conscience to satisfy and your own private duty to perform.

That God is doing some great thing in the earth, is very plain. That he is pumshmg many nations, and doing it by their own wickedness and spirit of violence, is as plain. In th,s state of things, what ought Christians to do, and for vvhat ought they to pray ? How far ought they to enter mto the contentious spirit of the world ? The subject is too copious for a large discussion, but ,t may give us a little assistance to open the volume of God's word and attend, » First, to what is foretold in the word of prophecy concerning the day in which we live. And then, SEcoijctv, consider the direction Christ gave to his people what they should do. The present period is spoken of as a day of awful judgments from God himself; and the words of the I nscience to satisfy, text are Christ's direction to his people what they 'orm. should do. igns of the times, /idence, they may vhere their confi- ifety and for peace gs among the na- lever existed be- od is doing some ain. That he is r it by their own is as plain. In istians to do, and w far ought they f the world ? arge discussion, ice to open the ord of prophecy ' the direction hould do. a day of awful e words of the i The spirit of prophecy in the mouth of Christ himself, and by the mouths of all his prophets and apostles, who wrote the scriptu.es, very early fore- told that there should an apostacy arise within the church itself. That this apostacy should be headed by the rulers of nations, and those who professedly taught in the name of Christ ; that the apostacy should be of long continuance, and over- spread the whole of the old Roman empire with the most awful spiritual abominations, and the destruc- tion of civil liberty. That it should be an empire and a church of cruelty, and of blood ; make war against all the humble saints of God by persecution ; usurp from men all their civil rights, and by impiety and infidelity should assume all the glory, the rights and prerogatives of God himself. As was predicted, this apostacy hath taken place in the old Romish church, and in the civil states with which it was connected. Its measure of ini- quity is now full. This measure of iniquity became full, at the moment when Romish superstition and idolatry passed into infidelity. At the same moment, the most bitter of the vials of God's judgment began to run. Infidelity was the consummation of this apostacy ; it is, also, the foredetcrmined instrument of executing the threatened judgments of God, on all those nations, and people, and countries, where B MSMMAMRliW* 10 I 1 the doctrines of the Gospel have been corrupted into idolatry, where the name of Jesus hath been denied, where the blood of the martyrs hath been spilt, where a holy Providence hath been forgotten, and where the spirit of war and shedding of blood, hath risen superior to the peaceful spirit of the kingdom of Christ. God hath said, in his word of unerring truth, eon- cerning this present time. They have shed blood, and I will give them blood to drink. All those nation who put forth their hands and invite this cup, shall drink their fill of the bloody element. It hath been a question, often proposed by Ame- rican Christians, How far this country is to share in those judgments, by which the old world is now desolated ? I 'h That we are sinners, and deserve all manner of evil at the hand of a holy God, no serious man can doubt. But the question hath been. How far must we share in the desolations threatened as the punish- ment of the great apostacy ? The time is now come in which experience will determine the question. War with its desolations is the evil threatened. If we chuse the cup, a holy God will not deny it to us ; if we have vice enough within ourselves to make this choice, we certainly deserve it. \ ten corrupted into hath been denied, hath been spilt, en forgotten, and ing of blood, hath it of the kingdom )erring truth, eon- we shed bloody and All those nation te this Gup, shall ent. roposed by Ame- ntry is to share in )ld world w now ve all manner of I serious man can n. How far must led as the punish- h experience will th its desolations iC the cup, a holy iiave vice enough ce, we certainly I n Many of the learned have been speculating on the prophecies, and predicting how ihey will be ac complished ; but the time is now come, in which every plain Christian, from what he sees and feels, wiU be able to determine the extent of the prophetic threatenings. My Brethren, we have many years since fore- warned you of the commencement of this day of God's reckoning with that part of the world, which hath been called Christian. We have prayed togeth- er that we and our posterity might be preserved, and covered in this season. The infinite wisdom of God hath guided us strangely for a number of years ; and he hath now brought it to our own determina- tion.— By the ordering of Providence, we are placed at a distance from the burning Babylon, in a land which may be quiet, if our own folly doth not pre- vent. As he said to ancient Israel, he is by his Pro- vidence saying to us : " See, I have set before you this day life and good, death and evil, chuse which ye will have." If we chuse death, there is death enough in the stores of his vengeance, yet to sweep us away with the other ruined nations. If we chuse death, under such signs as are held forth in his Pro- vidence, and against the plainest denunciations written in his word ; the very act of chusing to enter mto the field, where God himself is dispensing ven- geance, will be such a defiance of the Omnipotent and holy arm of the King in Zion, as will deserve Sill the pains he shall inflict. 12 Moses was the first of the prophets. His prophe- cies were not confined to that people of whom he was the appointed lawgiver. In him the spirit of vision looked forward to the end of the world. In the 32d chapter of Deuteronomy, there is a denun- ciation of God's anger, which is now Hilling on those who have had his word, but have not believed nor obeyed it. " They have moved me (saith the Lord) to jealousy, with that which is not God ; they have provoked me to anger with their vanitic? ; and I will niov« them to jealousy, with those which are not a people ; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn to the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the founda- tions of the mountains. I v;ill heap mischiefs upon them ; I will spend mine arrows upon them. They fihall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burn- ing heat, and with bitter destruction : I will also send the teeth of beasts [great tyrannical powers] upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust. The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of grey hairs." These words are taken from thi song of Moses, which was not pecu- lic^rly designed for his own people, but looked for- ward to the Christian day, praising the Lord for his blessings on the church, and denouncing his judg- ments on all unbelieving and idolatrous sinners. — They describe that day in which we now live, and they are an implied challenge from his holy throne, 13 -ts.

I That the description I read to you, though written at an early day, looked forward to the present time, we learn from the book of Revelations. The sanie prophet, who wrote that awful prediction is again mentioned in the Revelations, chapter xv. as join- ing in a heavenly song, called the song of Moses and the Lamb, adoring God for the execution of these very judgments which he had foretold. " Great and marvellous are thy works. Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy nam.e ? for thou only art holy : for all nations shall worship before thpe : for thy judgments are made manifest.'' Immediately after the words of this snng in heaven, it is added, *' And I looked, and behold the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened ; and the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles." My Brethren, look above ! Attend to the Provi- dence of God ! The temple of the tabernacle is there opened, the angels having the seven last plagues have come out, and are traversing the earth. They have war, desolations and plagues in their hands. n ' 14 Do you wish to draw near, and taste the contents of their vials ? We hope better things of you ; we be- licve you are now praying for that spirit of peace, which is the spirit of your Lord's kingdom : And when you ask what shall Christians do, for your in- fitruction, we direct you to your Lord's words in the text : " Come out of her, my people, that^e be not partakers of her sins and receive of her plagues."— These words have been a directory to millions of i Christians who lived before you, and who are now joining .above in the triumphant song of Moses and the Lamb. They directed Christians what to do at the great Reformation from Popery. They directed your forefathers when thousands fled from various nations in Europe, for the peaceful enjoyment of lib- erty and religion in the American wilderness. But the time is now come, for which the spirit of prophecy more particularly designed this exhorta- tion. It was intended to direct Christians what they should do, and what their duty is, at the very mo- ment when Babylon is falling ; in the time of the Vintage and harvest of the earth, (as it is figuratively «xp.esscd in prophecy ;) and this vintage and har- vest are now begun. This is the time in which the wine press is trodden, and blood comes out of the wine press even unto the horses* bridles, by the space of a thousand six hundred furlongs. What shall Christians do at such a time ? Cer- tainly if they have the spirit their Master showed aste the contents of igs of you ; we be- liat spirit of peace, 's kingdom : And ns do, for your in- jord's words in the 3ple, that ye be not of her plagues." — tory to millions of and who are now long of Moses and tians what to do at y.

To stand for their lives in case of defensive war, they wiU think lawful and honourable ; but offensive war, they will know to be an invasion of his rights' who is the avenger of blood in the earth. This work may do for infidels, for God hath permitted and raised them up for the very purpose of punishing the world. This work is congenial to the temper of those who feel not the power of the Gospel ; who deal in slaves and the souls of men j who bear the marks of the beast both in their principles, and in that forehead of assurance with which they can cry freedom and rights, while they hate those principles of freedom and religion for which our Christian forefathers bled. I But the question returns with irresistible force. What shall Christians do at such a time ?— Take, my Brethren, the direction of the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of your Lord, C&me out of her, that ye receive not of her plagues. It is next incumbent on me to mention a few things, that are implied in the exhortation, •» Come out of her." But, first, the body ought to be defined. It is a very difficult thing, by any local limits, to define that body from whkjh Christians are to scpa- '( h 16 rate themselves. It is a body to be described by principles, or rather the want of principles, than by any local limits whatever. The prophet John de. scribes this body by the following name, Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Har- lots AND ABOMINATIONS OF THeEartH. In another place it is called the Mystery of Ink^ui- TY. It is iniquity so complicated, so deceitful, so destitute of all moral principle, that an honest mind cannot conceive it until known by its effects. Lan- guage cannot furnish any suitable name for it but Mystery. The seat of this body is doubtless in ancient Europe, and in those states where Romish idolatry, in its consummation, hath passed into infi- delity ; infidelity, armed with more deceitful arts, and dreadful powers of oppression, than a sin-aven' ging God ever permitted to arise on earth before. But we may find many branches of this body with- out the limits of Europe. They may be found in Goa of Asia, and in Brazil of America, where the Inquisition reigns, l^hey may be found in every State, where the unalienable rights of any intelligent creature in the family of God are denied, and slavery is supported by law ; they may be found where infi- dels, by common suffrage, are raised to be rulers, and the outrages of bloody war are preferred to the amities of peace.—The body of this beast is known, on the land, by its blood stained path, and the depri- ration of all civil rights ; and on the ocean, by the flames which many waters do not quench. ^ ) be described by principles, than by prophet John de. name, Mystery, OTHER OF HaR- FHE Earth. In TERY OF lNiq_UI. i, SO deceitful, so it an honest mind its effects. Lan- i name for it but iy is doubtless in s where Romish passed into infi- *e deceitful arts, , than a sin-aven- n earth before. )fthisbody with- may be found in srica, where the e found in every )f any intelligent tiied, and slavery bund where infi- ied to be rulers, preferred to the beast is known, 1, and the depri- e ocean, by the ench. 17 How shall Christians come out of this body ? First of all they must renounce its principles. Its principles which began in superstition and idolatry, are now matured into infidelity. That it may con- found common sense and common honesty, some degree of which are found even in the breasts of savages, it hath adopted the motto, " It is right to do evil that good may come ; the end justifies the means,'' Of such the apostle Paul said, " their damnation is just,'' It is not strange that the apos- tle said this, for the apostle was a Christian ; but these are of Anti-christ. These principles of infi- delity, adopted into the policy of nations, within the last twenty years, have reduced the fairest por- tions of earth to the deepest slavery ; stained many kingdoms with blood ; and slain, either directly in war, or by its consequences, more than twenty millions of mankind. It is these principles which have travelled from court to court, and in too many nations corrupted armies, palaces and sanctuaries. The word of God tells us of those, who sell them-' selves to work evil ; and we may always depend, if men will sell themselves, Babylon will find the price. To corr^ply with the exhortation. Christians must refrain from all alliances v/i& 'his Babylon, whether they may be under the name oi policy or religion. i The danger of all such intercourse and alliance is wonderfully represented for our warning, by the IS if im !■ A i ' if ,, I ■> 'I- N i ! Il i i; Apocalyptic prophet : " An4 I saw three uncjc an spirits like frogs, come ou^ of the mouOi of %U dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and q^ of the mouth of the false prophet ; for they are the spirits of deviJs, working miracles, which go forth to the kings of the earth and the whole world.'?--? Poubtless the purpose fo;r vyhich they go forth is to spread their principles, and entice men into corrupt alliances. But mark, my Brethren ! The proph- et tells us the consequences of such alliances. They gather men together to the battle of the great day of GOD ALMIGHTY. And who can be willing to meet Almighty Gpd in the day of hjs wrath 1 Permit me to observe ^jgain ;— In the enumera- tion of these articles in which Babylon deals, wc find slaves and the souls of men. Servitude of the }io(ly to earthly masters, an|d of the spul ynto Satan. It can never be safe to depend on the integrity of those who deal in thpse artic|ps, which are forbidden by the ^jQrd of God. Christians, you ipust part with all your sins, and live according to the holy laws of Christ. You musj purify your own lives, and cleanse from all impiety, the households God hath comniitted to your charge. Remember, that trwp huiniliation will always be at- tended with amendment. While we attempt to mourn before God, for our sins, let us beg the bles- sing of his Spirit tp make us sincere. It is by the Spirit of the l^ord, that ynen are enabled to under- i! • I '.I » ■^.1 ■'^^IV saw three uncjc an the month of th^ the beast, and q^ t; for they are th« es, which go forth e whole world.

If the Spirit of the Lord be wholly withdrawn, we shall give ourselves up to work iniquity, even such iniquity as must prove our ruin, both for time and eternity. God hath said, when the enemy of his Son's kingdom come in as a flood, his Spirit shall set up a standard against them. Above all other blessings, let us pray for an out- pouring of the Holy Spirit, AMEN. —In the enumera- Jabylon deals, we ScryitMde of the le spul unto Satan. )n the integrity of hich are forbidden i all your sins, and Christ.
