THE DISCOVERY Of the great enmity of the Serpent against the seed of the Wo∣man▪ which witnesseth against him where he rules, both in Rulers, Priests and People: Whose hearts are now made manifest in this great day of the Lords pow∣er; wherein he is sending his Sons and D••ugh∣ters in the power of his spirit to run to and fro to declare his word. WHICH Discovereth the state of England, who according to her own lusts hath heaped up Teachers to her self that hath spoken smooth things to her, calling her the beauti∣full Church and Spouse of Christ; but in the day of tryall she is found in enmity to Christ in his appearance in his children, and to be in the estate deluded from the spirit of truth, recorded in 2 Tim. 4.2.3 Which cannot indure sound Doctrine, having itching eares and turns them away from the truth to fables; and now are Englands Teachers tryed, she hath leaped up to her self; and their doctrine proved: and their Ministery made manifest in the great enmity they manifest a∣gainst Christ in persecuting the bodies of his Saints, them to destroy whom he hath sent to preach freely his eternal Word; for which they are stoned, beaten, and imprisoned; and many of Englands Teachers whom she upholds, stirs up the peo∣ple so to doe: Being deceived, not regarding what is spoken, that neither fornica∣tor, nor idolator, nor a adulterer, nor effeminate, nor abuser of themselves with mankind, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revellers, nor extortioners, shall inhe∣rit the Kingdom of God, 1 Cor. 6.9, 10.

A true testimony of him the world knows by name, William Deusbery, and in scorn calls Quaker; who hath been by them imprisoned in York, Darby, Leicester, and Northampton, where he is now kept in the common Goal for the word of God and testimony of I••sus Ch••ist.

Also his Call to the Ministry of the everlasting Gospel by the still voyce of the Spirit of God and his mighty power destroying with the flaming sword the disobedient that would not stand in his counsell, and causing the soul to submit to his counsel the light that comes from Christ in it to wait on him to open the seales of the Book, and make known the mystery of eternall life to the soul, the Scripture test••fie••h is in Christ the truth of it to know as it is in Iesus.

The word of the Lord to all in England whom the Lord hath betrusted with power from the highest to the lowest, to see the peace be kept; and to judg the cause of the People with righteous judgement.

VVith a lamentation over all in England; who oppose Christ in his spiritual app••a∣rance, and to slight the day of your visitation to your own destruction.

From the common Goal in Northampton the 25. day of the 4. month, 1655.
