           and
           shame
           that
           is
           coming
           upon
           the
           Church
           of
           
             England
             ,
          
           who
           liveth
           in
           Oppression
           and
           cruelty
           ,
           and
           all
           who
           lift
           up
           a
           weapon
           for
           her
           shall
           fall
           in
           the
           shame
           with
           her
           ,
           which
           will
           surely
           come
           to
           passe
           ;
           So
           all
           sober
           people
           consider
           your
           wayes
           ,
           and
           turne
           to
           the
           light
           which
           comes
           from
           
             Jesus
             ,
          
           that
           with
           it
           you
           may
           be
           gathered
           unto
           the
           Lord
           from
           the
           false
           Teachers
           to
           the
           teachings
           of
           the
           Lord
           ,
           from
           the
           false
           worships
           to
           the
           worship
           of
           the
           Lord
           in
           spirit
           and
           in
           truth
           ;
           For
           a
           necessity
           was
           laid
           upon
           me
           from
           the
           Lord
           God
           of
           Life
           and
           power
           to
           be
           a
           signe
           :
           But
           before
           I
           was
           given
           up
           to
           the
           thing
           ,
           it
           was
           as
           death
           unto
           me
           ,
           and
           I
           had
           rather
           ,
           if
           it
           had
           been
           the
           Lords
           will
           ,
           have
           dyed
           then
           gone
           on
           in
           this
           service
           ;
           But
           when
           the
           word
           of
           the
           Lord
           came
           unto
           me
           saying
           ,
           Go
           on
           and
           prosper
           ,
           It
           was
           sweet
           unto
           me
           ,
           as
           the
           honey
           ,
           and
           the
           honey
           Comb.
           
           And
           blessed
           saith
           Christ
           are
           they
           that
           heares
           my
           word
