The XIIII. Chap.

O Yee blinde People / yee arrogant, [ A] distraught, earthlie Men / and all yee sub∣till or pregnant Self-wise of the Fleash / together with all yee false Heartes of the Scripture-learned / yee a 1.1 Cainish Ceremonie-mini∣sters / and yee Persecuters and Murderers of the Abelish vpright Heartes: Wherfore b 1.2 exalte yee yourselues so arrogantlie, against the high-excellent Maiestie of God / and his righteous Iudgment? Consider and looke yet-once into it, what yee haue done.

2. Oh {reversed ;}alas; yee haue {reversed ;}the which will now fal∣out •…•…ainfullie or sharplie against you; set yourselues

{reversed ;}with your false Nature; 'to Iudgment: iudged* 1.3 God-his Causes {reversed ;}out of your Lyes; altogether fals lie: seduced the Simple: beleeued your owne Iudg ment, which is vnright and false / and borne-domi∣nion therwith, ouer the Earth: Also ben d 1.4 vnbelee∣uinge of God, in his Trueth · and resisting of the Loue: and cauenso {reversed ;}with your false Iudgmentes; falslie e 1.5 accused or defamed the vpright Heartes / as men worthie to be rooted-out from the Earth.

3. FOr-that-cause / let yourselues now be coun∣sailed, by the Wisedom / and looke bytimes into all your Ignoraunces / and let it all fal-awaye from you / or geeue it-all ouer, wherin yee haue sup∣posed to be wise or vnderstandinge: and f 1.6 shewe∣fourth Repentaunce for your Sinnes / vnder the Obedience of the Loue of Iesu Christ.

4. For verelie / when yee looke {reversed ;}accordi•…•…ge to the Trueth; into your-selues / and all that yee haue done / So shall yee not choose but perceaue and acknowledg / that yee haue g 1.7 not vnderstoode / know∣en / nor iudged the earthlie and natural. Thinges {reversed ;}which yee haue passed-thorowe / and are yeat daylie a passing-thorowe; trulie or aright.

5. SEeinge then that yee haue not ben able [ B] to vnderstande nor iudge rightlie those thinges, which {reversed ;}accordinge to the earthlie Beeinge; are like vnto you / and wher-about yee daylie haue∣to-doo: How should yee then {reversed ;}O yee blockish & igno∣rant earthlie Men; be able to vnderstāde or iudge y^e heauenlie or spirituall Thinges, which are h 1.8 secreat or hiddē before you / and which yee haue neuer scene / nor are passed-thorowe them? But, for your owne

Honours sake i 1.9 {reversed ;}which yee seeke at the handes of the vnregenerated Men / and more esteeme and couet then the Honour of God; many of you will not ac∣knowledg thesame / nor yet confesse your Blindnes.

6. Yee k 1.10 comforte yourselues apace with Lyes: and prouoke eauenso God-his righteous Iudgment to come vpon you. In which l 1.11 Iudgment, it becom∣eth nowe discouered vnto you / and yee are let m 1.12 to see / or it becometh made-knowen vnto you, in your Heartes / that yee all {reversed ;}which are of the Earth / and haue resisted the Trueth of the Life; haue spokē pre∣sumpteouslie against the Lorde · dispised the Loue, in her louelie Nature and vpright Seruice · n 1.13 and blaspheamed the Spirit of Loue, which is the true Holie-gost.

7. BEholde / it shall now in thissame Day o 1.14 of the righteous Iudgment of God {reversed ;}wher∣through all false Iudgmentes / and Vnrighteous∣nesses becom made-manifest; be geeuen vnto you to see-into or plainlie to perceaue, all this your Fals∣hod / or horrible Iniquitie. And the Recompence for thesame, shall likewise {reversed ;}O yee false earthlie Men; fall vpon you, p 1.15 with much Affliction / Distresse / Miserie / and Woe, in all your Heartes.

8. If yee now then {reversed ;}perceauinge well all your [ C] Falshod / and in the time of your Affliction and Di∣stresse; laye not yourselues prostrate {reversed ;}to a q 1.16 Bench for the Lorde-his Feete; before the Seate of the Maiestie of God: but will needes {reversed ;}with your false Iudgmentes and Vnrighteousnes; beare the Do∣minion, against God and his Maiestie / So shall yee yet neuerthelesse (whether it be then with your

will / or against your will) be troden-downe {reversed ;}as the Enemies of God; r 1.17 with the Feete of the Sainctes · and laide vnder the Feete of the Lorde.

9. For our God ؛the Lorde of Hostes{punctel} cometh presentlie s 1.18 to Iudgment: and will plainlie shewe and make-knowen, the Howse of his Dwellinge. namelie / that the Heauen and the Heauenlie-man, is his t 1.19 Seate · and the Earth and the Earthlie∣man, the Bench of his Feete / Eauen as the Lorde hath spoken thesame in times-passed, through the Mouth of his holie Propheates.
