above; while people are seeking for this honour below, they lose the honour which is from above, which Christ commands to seek, and questioned them that were there receiving honour one of another; and seeking honour of men, how could they believe? and said, moreover, I receive not honour of men, I which am the light of the world, by whom the world was made, which enlightens every man that comes into the world, and he does not come amongst the sons of Adam (drove from God) to receive their honour, but to spoil it, deface it, stain their pride, deface their honour, mar their glory, stain their beauty; so the light (which every man that comes into the world is enlightened withal) will not receive the honour below, but will condemn him that receives it, and that is it which brings to seek honour from above, and stains the glory that is below; so the first Adam in the transgression receives honour of the earth, but the second Adam receives it not, nor will the light in them receive it, which comes from the second Adam, so I have a witness in all men's consciences upon the earth, that will not receive honour of men below, but of God, and that comes from above.

And the teachers of the world, and ministers, and pastors, and doctors, and shepherds have told us that the Hebrew and Greek was the original, and they were the orthodox ministers to open the scriptures to us, and they had the original, when as Moses said that all the earth was of one language before Babel, and Nimrod the mighty hunter, whose stock was of Ham, whom God did confound into the many languages, he was the beginner of the building of Babel; and Moses said, like unto me will God raise up a prophet, him shall you hear, and when this prophet was come, Christ Jesus, they crucified him, and when they crucified him, they wrote a superscription over him in letters of Hebrew, Greek and Latin; now here stands the world's original over Christ, over the life when they crucified him; the beginning of these many languages was Babel; and Pilate he could not open the scriptures with Hebrew, Greek and Latin, but crucified Christ who is the substance of the scriptures, and when he had done, he set his languages over him; and said John in the Revelations, they must be redeemed out of every tongue or language, which they have told us was the original, that which was set over Christ when he was crucified, over the life; but now the life is risen, Christ is risen, who had the languages set a-top of him, Christ is risen that fathoms Babel and Babylon, before Babel or Babylon was, who had the many languages, which is the world's original, so the life is risen a-top of it, which they set a-top of him, and over them that say it is original, and that they must open the scriptures with it, with which they run all into confusion, Babylon, so betwixt Babel and Babylon they may walk and see by plain scriptures how the languages were set over Christ; and Pilate could not open the scriptures with them, nor can they now open the

scriptures with their many languages, but break into heaps, heads and parties, for if they could open them, they would satisfy one another, and come all into one, for that which gave them forth is one, which must open them again; so all people, teachers and professors, be all upon heaps, in confusion about the words of the scriptures, saying that is the original, and they are stopped at Babel, for all the earth was of one language before, and the call is out of many languages, out of Babylon, Babylon is the end of them, and the life is risen that stains their pride, defaceth their glory, and mars their beauty, for they have a pride, a glory, a beauty in their languages, which they call the original, (the naturals,) and the light lets see before Babel or Babylon was, or Pilate either, into the beginning, the covenant of light with God, and when that people did imagine to build Babel, they went out of the life, whom God confounded into many languages, that they might be scattered, and God scattered them, as he will all other gatherings, that are gathered with imaginations, of him, and are the builders, that go from the life of God within them, and so from God, and they that crucified Christ, they were from the life, and they set the languages above Christ which was the life, and they that were in Babylon, were of them that ravened from the spirit of God in them, and went from the apostles' doctrine into the many languages, which the redemption is from, and so they cannot endure to hear talk of the life, and the spirit of God within, and the light; and these are they that set up languages: but now the life is risen (above the languages) which gathers to God and lets see before Babel or Babylon was, or Pilate either: and exalted Babel shall fall, and become a habitation of devils; but over all the life is risen, that gives to see to the beginning before the world was made, which brings to peace with God, which opens the words of Christ, the prophets, and apostles, and gives to every one his particular satisfaction concerning the words of the prophets, of Christ, of the apostles, in which life and peace with God is known, which judgeth all them that have the words, and be out of the life.

THE WRATH OF THE LAMB.

I WILL break into pieces, saith the Lord, I will make nations like dirt, I will tread them into mire; I will make religions, professions, teachings, time-servers, callers upon me with their lips, (and hearts afar off,) surfeiting in the earth, pride, hypocrisy, and deceitfulness of heart, gathered into a religion that is vain, gatherings on heaps, gatherings of multitudes, gatherings which they call churches, fair shews, fair pretences, hypocritical teachings, self-ends, covetous practices, I will make mire of them, I will make mortar, I will make dirt of them; the wrath of the Lamb is risen upon all apostates, who are gathered in the apostacy, apostatized from the prophets' life, the apostles' life, the life of the Lamb; the Lamb is risen, the sceptre is gone out, the throne is set, beware every one what you profess, what foundations you are laying, you shall be shaken, not being in the possession, being out of the possession of the life of God, of the prophets, of the apostles, of Christ. Ye diviners, ye dreamers, ye notionists, in your curiosities in the air, I will whirl you under, hail-stones, vials, plagues, thunders, woes, judgments are come amongst you, upon your heads, all nations that be out of the life of the Lamb, dread, quakings, fears, shall surprise hypocrites with amazements; the pure life of God is risen, that has been lost, from it ye have been apostatized, without it have you been gathered, with it shall your gatherings be broken and scattered; from the life of my apostles, of my prophets have you been all scattered and apostatized, and so true ministry hath been lost, true apostles' life lost, true prophets' life lost, false ministers got up, false apostles got up, false prophets got up, and reigned in their stead: my sheep's clothing you have had, wolves you have been, thorns and thistles your earth has brought forth, has lain like a wilderness unploughed up, amongst whom are so many names, and horns, setting up your inventions, but inwardly ravened, and apostatized, so the witness buried, in you who are whored from it, and in the fornication.

But the rod is over you which must rule nations, trumpets sounding and sounded, the just will rule, the Lamb will have the victory; woes, woes and miseries are out-going upon all the heads of the wicked, the judgments are come upon the world, the day of glory is appearing, and hath appeared, the throne and the sceptre that is everlasting is come and witnessed, and set over the world, which shall answer that of God in every one who has ravened from it, and all gatherings upon the earth from that, shall be broken, and it shall answer the just in every G. F.

one.

VOL. IV.-23

THE LAMB'S OFFICER

IS GONE FORTH WITH THE LAMB'S MESSAGE:

Which is the Witness of God in all Consciences, to call them up to the Bar, the Judgment of the Lamb, in this his Day which is come. To all the Parish Clerks, Vicars, Curates, and Professors in England, Ireland, and Scotland, and elsewhere in the whole Christendom; for you all to come up to the Lamb's Bar, in this his Day, to see if they can stand before the Lamb to plead their Cause, Guilty, or not Guilty, in this his Day, who have had the Scriptures, but out of the Life, which they were in that gave them forth.-By G. F.

THE Lord Jesus Christ is come to reign, and his everlasting kingdom and sceptre is set up, and the bar of judgment, and all are called to it, and he calls all up before it. Now Christ said false prophets should come, Matt. 7. 24. and antichrist, which should have the sheep's clothing, but inwardly ravening wolves; this he spake to his disciples, and before their decease they did come, 1 John ch. 2. ch. 4. and they went forth from them; and in the Revelations it is written, all that dwelt upon the earth went after them, and the dragon made war with the woman, and she fled into the wilderness, the true church, and the man-child was caught up to God, and the dragon gave his power to the beast, and the beast made war with the saints, and overcame them, and killed them that kept the testimony of Jesus, the spirit of prophecy: so here they killed the true ministry, and the woman fled into the wilderness, the true church, and the man-child caught up to God; and then power was given to the beast over all kindreds, tongues, and nations. [Mark,] And all the orthodox men, the original, the beast had the power to kill the saints, and suffered the original, the tongues to stand; the orthodox men so called, that have the scriptures in three or four languages, that had the sheep clothings, these inwardly ravened from the spirit of God, and turned against them that had the spirit of God, and killed them; and then the whore, the woman, the false church got a-top of the beast, who had power over all kindreds, tongues, and nations, who had his names, marks, horns, and images, and they gave their glory and honour to the beast, and the nations drank this whore's cup, this false church, this woman, and she corrupted the earth; and the kings of the earth drank her cup of fornication, and she corrupted the earth, and she made the inhabitants of the earth drunk; and this whore sits upon the waters,

and the waters where the whore sits, are peoples, and nations and multitudes, and tongues, and she drinks the blood of the martyrs, prophets, and saints, and so killeth the true ministers; this false church, this whore, and false woman, suffers the tongues to live under her, the orthodox men so called the original; and John calls them waters, the pillars of her church. Now this whore went from something, she went from the apostles', got the sheep's clothing, inwardly ravened, and went into the world, as the Jews which went from the law of God among the heathen, they whored, and so all nations drank the cup of fornication, the kings of the earth, and the nations, being unmarried to Christ. And again, the judgment of this great whore should come; for as Cain, when he had killed the just, then he built a city; this great whore that was on the beast, that had the dragon's power, that killed the saints and killed the just, and killed the prophets, and witnesses; and the true church, when the woman fled into the wilderness, and the man-child was caught up to God, then this great whore, this false woman, false church, this great city was built, and all nations drank of her cup, and the kings of the earth drank her cup of fornication, and all nations have drank her cup of fornication, that have drank the blood of the saints.

Come now, priests, guilty, or not guilty; the Lamb and the saints shall have the victory, the judgment of this great whore is come, and the bride and the Lamb's wife is witnessed. Priests, as I said before, guilty or not guilty, now you are come before the bar, are not you the tongues that the whore sits upon, which John calls waters, who are the orthodox men, and boast of the original, having the sheep's clothing, which have the scriptures in three or four languages. Have not you been standing, when the martyrs', and prophets', and saints' blood hath been drank? And did not you stand in the day of the beast's power, when he killed the saints, and made war with them, the true ministers? Had not he power over all kindreds, tongues and nations, when the true ministers were killed? was not your original Hebrew, and Greek, under the beast's power? and hath not he power over that original? and was that ever called the original among the saints that the beast killed, and that the whore drank the blood of? And did not you shelter under the beast's power, and the whore's, when the martyrs' and the prophets' and the saints' blood was drank? did not you turn from the dragon to the beast, after the beast to the whore? and had not the beast power over the tongues, orthodox men, and the original? Come, guilty, or not guilty? and do you not say the church of Rome is the whore? and from this whore, the church of Rome, have you not gotten tythes, and Easter reckonings, and midsummer dues, and glebe-lands, and mortuaries, and offerings? and have you not drunken this whore's cup? guilty, or not guilty? Must not you drink the cup of the indignation of the wrath of
