  A warning to all the inhabitants of the earth where this shall come, but especially to those that are called magistrates or rulers, and so pretend to bear a sword of justice for the punishment of evil-doers these are those things which hath been laid upon me from the great Jehovah as his commands to you, and they are as followeth.

summary:
  Yea , God's Wisdom was seen in providing a Day of Rest for Fallen-Man ▪ that so man might not altogether faint ; but having one Day of Rest , it might figure forth ▪ that there was a Restauration for Man , to rest in God , or God to rest in man ; and for that purpose , was there one day left to be kept , till the time that the Godhead should in body it self in the Humane Nature , which was acc●mp●ished when the Eternal Light of Life did over pour or operate with the Nature of the Virgin ; and then did God rest again in man , and man in God ; and put an end to the Seventh Day , having abolished all the enmity which was between the God head and the Man-head . B●t as man comes to feel something to judge him for his loving earthly things , more then the Command of God ; for his Commands have been near , even in thee if thou wouldest have obeyed it ; That would have led thee to love the Lord 〈…〉 an end to all sin would soon be known ; For , if mans love were returned unto God from the things of this world , all coufening , cheating , lying , swearing , stealing , and murder would be at an end ; for were there not something that were the Cause these sins would not be produced ; which Cause , is love to the things of this life ; for mans love being in them , what will he not do to obtain the thing , that he coveteth after : So the root of all evil is covetousness : therefore there is but one way for man to be set free from the root of sin , and that is by owning of Gods Righteous Law ; in himself , By which he may come to feel ; Judgement executed on the first Adam , which is now a Child of wrath , being poluted by transgression : and concluded under sin , which none can see but those that owne that light in them , which is the pure Law , that reveals the man of sin , to be in all the Children of the earthly Adam ; for before ever man can come to know life in God , he must come to know a Death ; in , and to self ; for the whole have no need of a Phisician ; but such as be broken ; for if man be not lost in the Earth ; what need was there of the blood of the Sonne of God ; to ransom man ;

The Angel further said , That besides the Devil , the great adversary of the Church , there are two others that shall destroy and tread down all things : one of them doth not yet know the true God , of whom he is now ignorant ; but shall know him , for the time is at hand that he shall acknowledg the true God , and shall accomplish his dec●ees against the great Whore , sitting upon the hills above the Sea , who is another trampler upon , and destroyer of the Church , whose remembrance is come in the sight of God , to give her a cup of the Excandescence of his Anger ; he cares not for God , nor doth God care for him , for his time is almost past .

  A rule from heaven, or, VVholsom counsel to a distracted state wherein is discovered the onely way for settling the good old cause and removing the maladies incident thereunto : and Mr. Pugh his prophesies opened / by Arise Evans.

summary:
  And in Contemplation of these things , I see Jesus while he was on earth viewing the Daughters of the Gentiles , to finde out his Spouse ; and among them all , concludes Britain to be the most amiable ; and being in love with her beauty , according to Solomon , song 4. is resolved to take her to wife , that he might beget a son of her body to inherit his glory : therefore Jesus the King , after the manner of Kings , sends the most honourable of all his Disciples , Joseph of Arimathea by Name , an Embassadour to Britain ; and he coming to Arviragus then King of Britain , was so courteously received , that the King gave him some Land to inhabit , and liberty to declare his message to the British Lady , so called for method sake : but the said Lady , notwithstanding the Kings consent , for modesty sake , as prudent Ladies use to do in such a case , doth not seem to grant her love to her beloved at the first motion , because she might have been judged to be of an unconstant minde , for altering her estate suddenly , and without mature deliberation : for these causes the suit continueth ; so that the agreement is not fully made between Jesus Christ and the British Lady until King Lucius time , and then they were married with great joy : and not long after , the British Lady brings forth a son to Jesus Christ , namely , Constantine the great , who gave such a wound to the enemies of Jesus Christ , that they could never recover it : we then being assured that the British Lady should bring forth another son to destroy all the enemies of Jesus Christ , and receive of his glory , for this cause Britain had many enemies that envied her , because of this honour that God was pleased to give her : which is worth your consideration . But you will say , Who shall be King ?

summary:
  Princes are but his Viceroys in the little Provinces of this World , and to some he gives their places for a few years , to some for their lives , and to others ( upon ends or deserts best known to himself , or meerly for his undisputable good pleasure ) he bestows as it were Leases upon them , and their posterity , for such a date of time as is prefixt in that Patent of their Destiny , which is not legible to you men below .

Shewing by the Scriptures what they be, when their rise, what their work, how long their continuance, and their end and ruine. Much differing from former and common interpretations hereupon. Wherein also those prophecies are briefly touched which concern the persecution of the saints, the falling away of the churches, the night of darknesse, the virgins going forth to meet the bridegroom, the mystical whore, the preaching of the Gospel of the kingdome to all the world, and the gathering of the Jewes into their own land. Being a portion of the paines in searching of the holy Scriptures by several members of the congregation of Orpington in Kent. And now published for the comfort of all those that have an interest in the Lord Jesus Christ, and wait, look for, and long after his coming, Tit. 2. 11, 12, 13. / By Capt.

summary:
  so before the judgement over take men ; it is the best time for men to do righteously , and thereby escape the wrath to come : Good Reader , I hope I shall be clear from the bloud of this generation , and leave them altogether in excuseable : for why , they have had more warning from me ; then ever any had that I was sent to speak unto , for when I spake to the King and his party ; If they had asked me whether I had spoken any thing by way of Prophesie before that time ? Surely , I could have said nothing to it then , which might have been any ways sufficient to convince them ; because that I had not before that time been sent of God to any for to declare such things : But now it is evident how I was called of God and sent to them , and upon their neglect was sent to the Earl of Essex , and after that to the Presbyterians , and then to the late Parliament , God confirming my words with as many signs as was required of me , and also fulfilling the same always in their due seasons . Then I considering with my self that in regard of the multitude of people daily inquiring of me concerning what hopes I saw of their redemption from these troublesom times , I having for a whole fortnight before constantly prayed to God to send me some extraordinary knowledge , now to satisfie and comfort the people , and found by the strangeness of this mans coming , before he related his Visions , that he was sent of God unto me therewith , as answers to my prayers , I desired him to declare them unto me , promising him through Gods assistance to shew the interpretation thereof , and there upon he repeated them to be in this manner .

summary:
  4. It is also in this respect that the making a short work in the close of time , may be judged , that after such extraordinary Discoveries of God , and Methods of Grace , the final Opposition then made thereto by the World , will to the furthest , make way for the last decision of Judgment , when the Harvest of the Earth is thus ripened and made White , under such prodigious measures of Guilt , more than in all Ages past ; as the Righteous God will then be Interested in Vindication of his Glory , to shut up for ever , that long Period of his Patience and Long-sufferings . But as such a Reflection must be bounded with a Becoming Silent and Humble Admiration , as being too wonderful for us to think on ; so is it Matter for the highest Joy and Exultation of Spirit , that we should have this day such a Being as admits us to see and enquire upon the Glory of that Work , which he hath brought forth within time , so infinitely becoming the Perfections of the Deity ; and to have so clear a Discovery of the same , not only in the whole Dispensation of Nature and Providence , but as it 's more nearly relative to us in the Dispensation of Grace , and in the Speciality of that Work that he hath about each of his People in this Militant State ; yea , thus to see on what Security we are fixed against the greatest Hazards , and fear of future Events : It was on this account that the Psalmist here , bears so great and wonderful a Testimony for God , and to the sureness of their State , who have him to be their alone Refuge , and trust in the most extream Case .

  The pouring fourth of the seventh and last viall upon all flesh and fleshlines, which will be a terror to the men that have great possessions, or, Several visions which hath bin made out to me of what the all of all things is now bringing to pass ... George Foster, or otherwise Jacob Israel.

summary:
  And I said , Lord , what meaneth these Suns , and one to be so bright over the other , and so to darken the rest ? and my God said , that these three Suns hold forth three dispensations , one of them more glorious then the rest , and as they do appear unto you in glory , so did they shine for the time of their being ; and the first Sun doth hold forth the first dispensation , even that , which was given by me the Lord of host to Moses , even that law that was written in Tables of stone , and the children of Israel had amongst them ; therefore as I did appear to my servant Moses in such away as to give him a table of stone wherein was written all my statutes , lawes and judgements , as I commanded my people Israel to observe and keep , as the observing of the seventh day , and the offering of sacrifices , and the slaying of the pascall lamb , and the giving of them by tribes an inheritance , that they should not deal with other nations , as to make marchandise with them , were but all tipes and figures of the appearing of my son Christ in flesh ; and so it was but a darke dispensation , in regard that it was but a dispensation that did hold forth Christ to come in the flesh ; and those that lived under it at that time until Christ had lawes and commandements for to observe ; which they were never able to keep or fulfil ; so in this respect it did shine gloriously for the during or continuance of that time they were to continue ; because they my people Israel , had lawes and ordinances which all the nations besides them had not , and so God did not deal with other people as he did deal with them ; as the psalmist saies , God hath not dealt so with other nations as he hath dealt with us : that was in regard of my love and favour which I had to them as for to make choise of them at the first ▪ & so did take them as a peculiar people from the nations , to whom I did commit my Oracles : yet this was but a weake dispensation , because it could not give life to them that did keep them ; but those that were in the account of me the Lord of host , it was by looking to my promise ; even to Iesus Christ , which I did promise life by ; and so when the fulness of time came , that my son Iesus was to be made manifest in flesh , and was borne , then the dispensation of types and figures ceased , and was not to be ; but was put out by the appearing of the Second Sun ; which was the second administration , even Christ a Saviour coming in flesh amongst man , and so was by power declared to be the Son of God ; herein even I the Lord of host did appear most gloriously to the people in that age , by giving of my son Iesus and his disciples povver to do and work miracles , which continued so long as my son was visible amongst them in flesh , and then it ceased as he ceased from being amongst them ; and this administration , was to continue for a time , as Moses were , for all the lawes , and waies , and rules that are contained in this second administration , as given out by Iesus in the flesh as he were , was but to continue for a time ; which time was to last so long until all the Kingdome shal be delivered up into the hand of the Father , that he might be all and in all ; that is at the end of this administration , I wil take the power uuto my self that is I wil make my self manifest in such an extraordinary way or manner , as wil appear to the confounding or putting out all other lights besides my self ; as the third Sun did appear very glorious to the rest , so wil I in this administration of making out my self , or preaching my self in my sons and daughters , make my glory for to shine in a more extraordinary manner then before I did , for though I by my bright appearing in my sons and daughters , and in the world , at the time that my son was on the earth , did so powerfully operate in them , as that they must needs hold forth my Image of love , for it is love that holds me forth more then any thing , and love it is that is the Image of God , and I the God of gods did make them shew love one unto the other , by making them give bread one to the other , as they did ; And so went from house to house and break bread together and had all things common , this was but a tipe of that great work which I wil now do , as for to make not only my sons and daughters live in love and peace , and union , but also wil make their enemies to be at peace with them , and wil make them weary of their Idol gods , as gold , and silver , and so wil take from them that oppression that hath raigned from time to time ; and this I vvil do in my bright appearing in my sons and daughters , that shal see me to be their life and joy , and so to have nothing in worth or esteem besides my self , and so wil make them to be the City or temple that shall have no need of mens light , or candle-light ; but I , even I their God , will be their light , and so wil speak and preach in them peace and joy , and so wil free them not only from looking after creature objects , but wil wholly draw them up to live in me , and wil make them to see that they are dead , and cannot eat or do any thing , but all their life is I the eternal God dwelling in them , and causing them to hear a word behind them saying , this is the way walke in it ; and so the new Covenant shal be written in their hearts , they shall all know me from the least to the greatest , and they shall sin no more : at by my bright appearing or making out of my self to my people , I wil make them to know me , and all the rest shal know me , for I wil be a terror and a dread to them , and so wil make them to be afraid of me , and know me by my power that I will exercise over them , when my sons and daughters , even the new Jerusalem , shal see former things passed away , and all things become new ; all those things which formerly were sin to them , and did trouble them , to be no longer so , but new , and all sorrow to stay away : then it wil and shal be to them that laugh and mock and revile my Saints now , a fear and a dread , whereby they shal be in misery and in pain for doing so as they have done , for I wil appear very glorious in my sons and daughters , I will destroy them all , even all their enemies , even within and without , so that they shal not sin , but shal be wholly seated in liberty and freedome , and shal do nothing but my pleasure , and I wil joy in them , and Arise , and not only arise but shine , make it appear by your condition , that you are not only risen from the dead , but you have also light come into you ; therefore shine , and be not so dark as you have bin , when you were dead , and in your enemies hands , no , but be on the contrary ; shine , hold forth the glory of me your creator and redeemer , who have ransomed you from the hands of them that were stronger then you , shine , and let my glory be seen upon you , for they shal be afraid of you that hate you ; shine , ye therefore , and be like so many stars that shines in the Firmament , and glister like so many as the only people that are redeemed from death to light : for thy light is come , I am your life and light , and by being absent from you , your condition was a condition of death and darkness , and you were compassed about with abundance of sorrow , by being scattered abroad in the world ; but I who am your life and light , even I the mighty God of Jacob , am now risen to bring you into your own country , even together , ö daughter of Sion , shout and rejoyce , and cry aloud , Sing and make merry , and be glad in your King , who am now Risen with mighty power , for to bring you into your own land ; therefore rejoyce and sing , for thy light is come & Sion that vvas scattered abroad ; but now shal be gathered into your own country , even into Judea : for the glory of the Lord is risen upon you , even my glory is risen upon thee , for to bring thee out of a strange country ; and as Pilgrims and sojourners into your country , there for to make my glory and light shine and rest upon thee : for the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee , even upon thee ö captive daughter of Sion : for to make you see and know that I have purposed to bring you into your own country once again , and there to make thee the praise of the whole earth and the earth to see and know my power by which I do things , saith I the Lord of host ; who hath caused my glory for to arise upon thee ; for you have now a more surer word of prophesie , to which you do well to take heed , as to a light that shineth in a darke place , until the day dawn , and the day star arise in your hearts : this was given to the church in that age , who was to observe the word of the Apostles then and at that time , they being but babes and children , & so had a rule for to walk by , which rule the Apostle bids them take heed unto , that they walke by it : for how long ? even saith the same Apostle , until the day break , until there be some further appearance of light , a more glorious dispensation then now is , and the day star in your harts , that is until you do see & know God dwelling in you , and so do see & know Christ , who is the bright and morning star : to be one with the Father , Son , & holy Ghost : but one God dwelling in you , who is your life and strength , and so to see this God in love , to be your All and in all , and the very life of all things : til then you being weake , have had need of a writen rule to walke by , but now you have no longer need of any thing to walk by , no not the Scripture to walk by ; for I even your King and Lord , wil be unto you Scripture , and Law , and rule , and ways , and formes of worships , yea I wil be all : arise and shine , for thy light is come , and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee , even my glory shall now shine upon thee , for to make thee the praise of the whole earth , and the joy of all the nations , arise and shine , for behold darkness shall cover the earth , and gross darkness the people ; arise , shine , your condition wil and shal be happy , saith I the Lord of host , who hath made my glory to shine upon you , even upon you ö Sion ; whom I wil gather into Judea from amongst other people : but I wil tel you one thing , even you whom I do gather up into Judea : for behold this , darkness shall cover the earth , and gross darkness the people : even when you shal see light , and walk in light , and have light to be your guide , and have my glory shining upon you , even then shal others , the earth , be covered with darkness , for there shal be no clear light , and sun shining upon the earth , even upon those that come not up to worship me the Lord of host in Jerusalem , but instead of light , there shal be darkness , and instead of breaking forth of light , there shal be a mist and a cloud that shal overspread it self for a while , so that they that go not up to Jerusalem shal not have that clear light , neither shal they see and know that glory which I wil and shal make out to you ö Sion : for you ö Sion shal eat , and drink , and be ful , and have the bread of life , and water of life , when they that come not up shal be in want , and shal be hungry , when Sion shal be ful ; for I wil take away all their food , even their formes and wayes of worship , and wil utterly destroy them and bring them to nothing ; for these things , as forms of worship have they had some comfort in using them ; but I wil leave these dispensations wherein I have formerly appeared , and wil make darkness cover the earth in this sence , for I wil deprive them of all their formes and Church governments ; for I wil forsake them , and they shal receive no benefit by them , even darkness shal cover them , that they shal not see light in them , even gross darkness , even such a darkness wil and shal light upon poor creatures that walke by forms , and so think to be carried to heaven upon the sholders of their Priests ; but darkness , yea such darkness that both Priest and people shal be amased ; for they shal be driven out of their common-road , and so shal be forced to seek a new way , even this darkness shal light upon those that are malicious and ful of envy , and so would of a sudden destroy their fellow creatures ; darkness wil and shal overcome such ; for though they preach and pray , yet al wil not save them , but that they must be destroyed and brought to nothing ; for saith the Lord of host darkness shall cover the earth : there wil be no clear sight of God , and no clear sight of my way : for they shal not come to my knowledge , and so to the enjoyment of me here or in any place , but where Sion shal be gathered together , even my people , whom I have raised from the dead , and so wil bring them up to Sion , at Ierusalem the City where formerly I dwelt , which is in Judea , and there I wil make them shine , and be the glory of the whole earth : and after this first resurrection that they shal have for to be raised from a condition of death and slavery , into a condition of joy and life , where the Second death shal have no power over them : for this is the resurrection wherein I wil set you free from all death : and you shal dy no more , for I wil be your life , and you shal live for evermore , for now shal appear the sign of the Son of man coming in the ayre : which sign of my coming , is now , forasmuch as I the Lord of host , doth begin to declare unto my servants what I do now intend to do : for this ayre where it is said , then shall appear the sign of the Son of man , is not meant only the ayre above , but rather that ayre which is in this earth of yours ; for as your bodies are earthy , so are they aëry , for they , even your bodys , are not compounded only of earth , but of aire , and so I appearing in your bodies , and so making choice of instruments for to do my work , and my strange worke , that is my sign , or the sign of the Son of man coming in the aire : which sign is for to give people warning of what I intend to do , that so if I find them not doing what I would have them to do , they may the better be judged by me : and so punished for not doing of what I would have them do , for the appearing of my sign , is to declare unto them that I am coming to judge and destroy all things in man , especially in my Saints , besides my self , and so to raise my son up from that grave and place of imprisonment , as now for the present lies in : even to restore her to life , that she may dy no more : for blessed are they that have part in the first resurrection , on whom the second death shall have no power : it is a most joyful saying to them that have themselves raised up to be brought into such a place where they shall die no more : which will be at the place where I have appointed to make my self glorious ; and so vvil appear in my glory , and so make my povver knovvn , by being a God of povver , vvho have raised up Sion from amongst their enemies , and have brought her into her ovvn land , even into a place vvhere she my wife and I must be married , and so they shal live for ever , and never dy no more , for my Sion shal be changed , & so shal become nevv ; for the old man vvhich for the present they carry about them , shal be destroyed , and the nevv man Christ shal come forth ; and so they shall live for ever , and never dy more ; and so after this they shal be as the Angels of God , as my son Christ said , that should neither marry or be given in marrige but shal live in the ful enjoyment of me , vvho am the Lord of host , that lives for evermore , for vvhen they are brought into the ful and perfect enjoyment of me , and be at peace vvith themselves , so as they shal never marry or give themselvs in marriage , according to the customes of us , novv these customs shall vvholy be destroyed , and a nevv one shal come in , that they shall live in pure and perfect enjoiment of me their creator , and so shal have the use of those vvhom I appoint together , and so shal have the use of one another .

summary:
  For the Prophesies came not in old times by the will of man , but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost , and I am sure they wrote so also , but that this be not laid to my charge , as the greatest pride of all , yet spoken , or asserted by me ; I beseech you pray for me to this purpose , for I am bold to tell you my heart is fixed , O Lord , my heart is fixed uprightly and sincerely to keep thy Law , to love and serve thee above all things in the World ; but for any sanctity , merit , or righteousness in me , O Lord , which is not thy onely grace of good will , I abominate and disown it for ever : pray for me , I beseech you , that in all the inundations of evil I may be preserved by the loving kindness of the Lord , and that in all the mutations of this World , whatsoever God would be pleased to make me , and that I may be so ever found , the most humble , lowly , penitent , just , wise , mercifull , meek , patient , faithfull servant of our Lord and God , and King my Master ; O Lord , I love thy House , Worship and Service , and place were thy Honour dwels ; be it in thy Temple , or in man that delights to do thy will , which is to fear God , & honour the King. The Lord hath made our Salvation , not our destruction , his glory , when all we , thy people , O God , had sinned beyond any help , then , O Lord , thou sayest , lo , I come .

  For since the ●ime that the pretended Protestant Plot was talk'd ●f , and as they said discovered , and several worthy Christians Executed , as the ever Renowned William Lord Russel , Sheriff Cornish , the Noble Earl 〈◊〉 Essex , Col. Sidney , and that godly Woman and Martyr Mrs. Ga●nt , &c. What a Flood of contempt , reproach , and what not , hath been ( as he ●●serves ) cast upon the whole of the true interest 〈◊〉 Christ in this Kingdom , with the barbarous slaughter of those worthy Christians and Witness●● in the West , together with that Storm of Persec●tion , which we have no ground to doubt was ●●●ried on by the Popish Enemy , and Emissaries of R●●● , together with the turning out of places of tru●● many good Protestants , and the taking away of Charters of Cities and Corporations , silencing worthy Ministers , &c. nay , striking at the root and whole constitution of the English Government , ●●thing being designed but the utter subversion of the Protestant Religion , things growing every day worse and worse , nothing appearing but the blackness of darkness , and that which was worst of all many of Gods witnesses seemed to be strangely despirited , whilest others truckl'd to the Enemi●● yoak , suffering Chapels to be erected for Popery and Cursed Mass Priests , and Jesuites ; and that to● in many of the chief of our Cities , nay , in famo●● London it self , and that in the very Heart of it . upon the discovery of the Popish 〈◊〉 when our hopes were raised by that great zeal 〈◊〉 our brave English Parliaments , against the Pa●● and Popish Religion , most thinking at that 〈◊〉 our morning light appeared to break forth , & the ●●●terness of death was over , but lo what a sudden ch●●● did we see ? how was our light turned into dark●● and our joy to sorrow and lamentation , and 〈◊〉 ●oy and triumph attended our Popish Enemies ? what ●ingings of Te deum at Rome , and in all Popish Countreys , and sending gifts one to another , for joy that these witnesses of Christ were overcome , and ●aid by the walls , and their testimony and spirits gone in this Kingdom , which was always a terror to the Popish Church , together with that wonderful success they had about the same time over the Protestants , & Turks in Hungary , that Kingdom being restored to her too ? these things made her doubtless to say ●n her Heart , I sit a Queen , &c.

  The prophesie of Haggai, interpreted and applyed in sundry sermons by the famous and judicious divine, John Rainolds, D.D. Never before printed, beeing very usefull for these times.

summary:
  saith turn unto me saith the Lord , and I will turne unto you , yet it may not so be understood as though man had power as in himselfe to turne unto the Lord , but it must be God that must first convert ; and therefore we must say with the Prophet Jeremy , Convert thou me and I shall be converted for thou art my Lord and my God , and as it is in the Lamentations , turne thou us unto thee O Lord and we shall be turned , renew our dayes as of old , So that it appeareth manifestly , that the grace of God must worke in our hearts before we can doe any thing , it is of his grace both to will and to do . So that by the name of Lord of Majesty , which the Prophet useth in his language , betokening him that was from everlasting that is and is to come , the same for ever , who is most true in his word , most constant in his promises , God which cannot lye , The prophet would stirr them up to be carefull to receive the message delivered with faith to his promise , adjoyned to the precept and obedience to the precept established by the promise , and this is the holy preparation which wee also have need of , that the message delivered from God may with faith and obedience be received of us , as of them .
