OLONDON
,
thou
art
weighed
in
an
even
ballance
,
and
found
too
light
;
thou
art
measured
by
an
equall
line
,
and
found
too
short
,
and
too
narrow
,
and
thy
People
cannot
stand
in
Judgement
;
for
aboundance
of
iniquity
lodgeth
within
thee
,
and
thou
abounds
in
all
unrighteousnesse
,
thy
sins
are
grown
over
thy
head
,
and
with
transgression
thou
art
covered
as
with
a
garment
,
from
the
head
to
the
foot
thou
art
corrupted
,
and
there
is
much
unsoundnesse
in
thee
.
O
how
doth
pride
abound
,
lightnesse
and
wantonnesse
,
and
the
lust
of
the
eye
,
and
all
the
works
of
the
flesh
is
increased
to
a
large
sum
;
Aboundance
of
Idolatry
and
vanity
springs
out
of
thee
,
vaine
fashions
,
foolish
customes
,
and
all
manner
of
evill
hath
its
abiding
in
thee
;
yea
the
very
Seat
of
Satan
is
established
within
thy
walls
,
and
works
of
unrighteousnesse
doth
proceed
out
of
thee
into
other
Nations
.
Aboundance
of
deceitfull
Merchandize
,
and
of
oppressing
Merchants
,
who
grind
the
face
of
the
poor
,
doth
inhabit
thy
borders
,
thy
wayes
are
evill
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
and
his
spirit
is
grieved
and
his
soule
is
vexed
from
day
to
day
,
every
moment
of
time
.
Aboundance
of
treachery
,
flattery
and
hypocrisie
,
dissimulation
,
and
double
heartednesse
,
posesseth
thine
Inhabitants
,
from
Teachers
to
People
,
high
and
low
,
rich
and
poor
,
you
are
fulfilling
your
own
wills
,
and
seeking
your
own
pleasures
,
and
following
the
Counsells
of
your
own
hearts
,
and
doing
that
which
is
right
in
the
sight
of
your
own
eyes
;
and
your
hearts
are
corrupted
before
the
Lord
,
and
the
very
best
of
your
works
are
evill
,
and
the
purest
of
your
wayes
are
filthy
.
And
all
your
Observations
,
your
dayes
of
Humiliation
,
and
Thanksgivings
,
and
all
your
worships
and
sacrafices
,
are
abomination
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
:
For
no
good
fruit
can
spring
forth
,
for
your
root
is
not
the
vine
Christ
Jesus
,
who
cannot
own
the
light
,
with
which
you
are
enlightned
,
and
that
makes
all
your
Profession
vile
,
and
not
accepted
,
but
it
is
wholly
unfruitfull
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
.
Much
Profession
there
is
in
thee
of
righteousnesse
,
and
Religion
,
and
many
formes
,
and
gatherings
of
people
,
which
are
but
as
so
many
images
,
and
likenesses
of
divers
sorts
,
which
must
be
overturned
,
and
overthrown
by
the
roots
.
You
are
all
measured
with
the
line
of
true
judgement
,
and
your
buildings
cannot
stand
,
when
the
Lord
comes
to
try
you
,
and
search
,
and
try
you
for
your
life
,
for
though
you
professe
much
,
yet
you
performe
little
,
your
knowledge
puffs
you
up
,
and
you
are
not
sincere
hearted
,
but
loose
,
and
unsavoury
are
you
in
your
wayes
and
words
.
There
's
much
wisdome
in
thee
,
and
many
wise
men
whose
wisdome
is
devi●lish
,
and
it
doth
not
lead
to
God
,
it
must
be
confounded
and
trodden
down
,
for
it
profits
you
not
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
but
in
it
you
are
wise
to
doe
evill
,
but
to
doe
good
you
have
no
knowledge
;
And
the
Lord
God
is
forgotten
,
and
his
judgements
are
not
known
,
vanity
,
vanity
,
hath
so
stollen
away
your
hearts
,
and
after
Idolls
are
you
run
,
worshipping
strange
Gods
,
and
following
strange
lovers
:
Aboundance
of
subtilty
and
craft
lodges
in
thee
,
vaine
glory
excells
above
measure
,
pride
,
idlenesse
;
and
fulnesse
of
bread
abounds
in
thee
,
even
as
in
Sodom
,
unto
whom
thou
art
become
equall
in
transgression
.
Whoredome
,
drunkennesse
,
wrath
and
envy
,
gluttony
and
excesse
,
spending
the
creation
upon
the
lust
,
and
all
the
works
of
the
flesh
which
are
evill
,
hath
their
full
grouth
in
thee
,
and
in
evill
art
thou
fully
ripe
.
O
London
!
Consider
,
and
be
awakened
ye
Inhabitants
thereof
,
for
the
Lord
is
grieved
day
by
day
,
and
his
soule
is
vexed
every
moment
,
the
weight
of
thy
transgression
is
upon
him
,
thou
even
makest
him
to
serve
with
thy
sins
;
hath
there
been
any
evill
committed
by
any
Nation
which
is
not
in
thee
?
hath
there
been
any
abomination
brought
forth
,
which
is
not
in
this
day
to
be
found
in
thee
?
Oh
what
haughtinesse
,
and
stretched
out
necks
!
oh
what
pride
,
and
vaine
glory
appears
in
thee
,
even
thy
Infants
are
nourished
up
in
vanity
,
and
thy
old
men
are
over-grown
with
craft
,
and
deceit
;
Thy
young
men
gives
their
strength
to
folly
,
and
thy
Maidens
are
trimd
in
wantonnesse
:
all
sorts
of
People
are
prophane
in
their
way
,
old
and
young
,
rich
and
poor
,
are
abounding
in
evill
,
all
seeking
their
own
things
,
and
few
the
things
of
Gods
Kingdome
,
the
way
of
truth
is
even
despised
,
and
they
that
depart
from
iniquity
are
become
a
prey
to
the
mouths
of
the
ungodly
,
who
are
grievously
prophane
,
as
though
the
Lord
took
no
notice
,
or
as
though
no
day
of
account
were
to
come
,
so
great
is
the
iniquity
committed
in
thee
,
words
reaches
not
to
manifest
it
,
what
lying
,
what
swearing
,
what
vaine
talking
,
and
what
scorning
,
and
what
double
dealing
appears
in
thee
at
every
corner
,
what
pride
,
what
wantonnesse
,
and
wickednesse
is
manifest
in
all
thy
streets
.
Teachers
and
People
are
out
of
the
way
,
given
to
deceit
,
and
to
deceiving
,
oppressors
,
and
oppressing
one
another
,
such
is
the
Devills
power
amongst
you
ruling
,
it
cannot
easily
be
overcome
;
and
so
deep
is
wickednesse
seated
in
thee
,
that
it
cannot
easily
be
plucked
up
;
so
strong
is
the
lust
of
the
flesh
grown
in
thee
,
that
it
cannot
easily
be
removed
:
How
is
the
glorious
name
of
the
Lord
continually
dishonoured
,
and
polluted
,
through
thy
wickednesse
,
which
is
grown
into
a
numberlesse
sum
.
But
the
Lord
will
be
avenged
on
all
you
his
enemies
,
and
will
meet
you
with
judgements
,
plagues
,
and
vengeance
,
and
the
wicked
shall
not
escape
.
And
as
concerning
all
thy
profession
of
God
,
and
the
Scriptures
in
a
blind
zeale
,
it
is
but
abomination
to
the
Lord
,
and
all
thy
severall
Sects
,
and
gatherings
of
people
,
and
separate
Congregations
,
who
is
not
separated
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
they
are
but
like
so
many
molten
and
carved
Images
,
which
the
Lord
will
overthrow
.
All
thy
offerings
and
oblations
,
preaching
praying
,
and
performances
,
Gods
soule
hath
no
pleasure
in
them
,
but
they
are
a
burden
and
wearinesse
to
him
;
and
though
thou
wash
thee
never
so
clean
,
and
make
thy selfe
never
so
faire
through
thine
own
labour
,
yet
cannot
thy
iniquities
be
washed
away
,
nor
thy
sin
covered
,
for
thy
iniquities
are
marked
before
the
Lord
,
and
thy
sin
is
written
as
with
a
pen
of
iron
,
and
as
with
the
point
of
a
Diamond
,
all
thy
Steeple-house
worship
is
nought
but
vanity
before
the
Lord
,
all
thy
publick
exercises
,
all
thy
Sabboath
keeping
,
all
thy
set
dayes
of
humiliation
,
and
all
thy
private
duties
,
and
all
that
ever
thou
performest
unto
God
,
is
not
regarded
of
him
,
while
the
hearts
of
thy
people
is
not
aright
in
his
sight
,
and
upright
before
him
.
So
the
best
of
thy
Sacrafices
are
but
as
the
cutting
off
of
a
dogs
neck
,
and
the
offering
of
Swines
blood
,
for
in
thee
is
found
the
great
abomination
,
open
prophanesse
abounds
,
and
secret
hypocrisie
super-abounds
,
and
thou
art
as
abominable
in
the
eyes
of
the
Lord
in
thy
hypocriticall
profession
of
righteousnesse
,
as
thou
art
in
thy
open
sins
.
In
thee
is
found
the
abomination
of
Israel
,
mercy
and
truth
,
justice
and
true
judgement
is
neglected
:
Doe
not
thy
Heads
judge
for
reward
?
and
doe
not
thy
Priests
preach
for
hire
?
and
doe
not
thy
Prophets
prophesie
falsly
?
and
doe
not
they
divine
for
money
?
and
doe
not
thy
People
love
to
have
these
things
so
?
Oh
how
art
thou
deceived
by
thy
Teachers
,
and
led
blind
by
the
blind
leaders
,
even
they
that
lead
thee
cause
thee
to
erre
,
and
they
that
should
instruct
thee
teaches
thee
vaine
things
.
Woe
unto
them
,
the
Lords
wrath
is
against
them
?
how
doe
they
make
a
prey
upon
the
people
?
how
doe
they
feed
themselves
,
and
cloath
themselves
,
each
one
of
them
having
a
quarter
from
which
they
seek
their
gaine
,
and
through
covetousnesse
making
Merchandize
of
soules
;
the
false
Prophets
of
Israel
was
their
example
,
and
they
follow
in
the
path
of
unrighteōusnesse
,
having
run
and
was
never
sent
of
God
,
and
therefore
the
people
are
not
profited
at
all
,
nor
turned
to
God
,
but
from
year
to
year
,
and
time
to
time
,
ever
learning
,
but
cannot
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
truth
.
Ignorance
abounds
in
thy
old
men
,
and
rudenesse
,
and
wildnesse
in
thy
youths
,
and
thy
people
are
without
the
knowledge
of
God
,
and
perishes
for
lack
of
knowledge
;
thou
art
even
as
a
wild
untilled
garden
,
which
bringeth
forth
no
pleasant
fruit
,
thy
vines
are
as
the
vines
of
Sodem
,
and
thy
fruit
is
loathsome
to
the
Lords
tast
,
wild
grapes
,
and
soure
grapes
is
brought
forth
in
thee
,
which
the
Lord
hath
no
pleasure
in
,
ye
bring
forth
fruit
unto
your selves
,
and
not
unto
the
Lord
,
ye
kindle
a
fire
,
and
warmes
your selves
with
your
own
sparks
,
ye
sacrafice
to
your
own
net
,
and
ye
think
to
be
heard
for
your
much
babling
,
and
your
many
performances
:
Abundance
of
the
first
mans
wisdome
is
among
you
,
it
leads
you
,
and
guides
you
,
and
not
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
through
your
own
wisdome
which
is
devillish
you
conforme
to
the
Saints
words
,
and
to
their
practises
in
outward
appearance
,
and
makes
your selves
like
the
Saints
,
and
bowes
unto
your
own
Images
,
and
likenesses
which
ye
make
,
and
are
grown
wise
and
full
of
knowledge
,
but
it
is
not
the
wisdome
of
God
,
nor
the
knowledge
that
will
endure
for
ever
,
For
you
neglect
the
one
thing
which
onely
needfull
to
eternall
life
.
Your
buildings
are
high
,
but
they
are
not
upon
the
true
foundation
,
for
many
of
you
stumbles
at
the
corner
stone
;
your
sprinkling
of
Infants
is
a
very
cheat
,
and
all
that
believe
therein
are
deceived
;
and
your
singing
of
Davids
experiences
in
rime
and
meeter
,
is
a
very
lie
unto
you
;
your
worship
is
but
Idolatry
,
and
it
will
not
cover
you
in
the
day
of
the
Lord
,
though
none
be
like
unto
thee
O
London
in
profession
,
nor
any
City
hardly
can
compare
with
thee
,
in
respect
of
the
Multitude
of
thy
gathered
assemblies
,
and
self-separates
,
yet
all
this
will
not
availe
thee
,
when
the
Lord
searcheth
thy
heart
,
which
is
found
not
perfect
before
the
Lord
,
but
full
of
vaine
glory
,
and
lust
,
and
pleasures
of
the
flesh
,
and
dissimulation
,
and
guile
,
with
the
wrath
of
God
will
be
revealed
against
;
a
single
and
an
upright
heart
,
is
of
greater
price
with
the
Lord
,
then
all
the
performances
of
selfe-righteousnesse
that
is
done
in
thee
,
while
your
hearts
are
given
to
vanity
,
and
continue
therein
.
Wherefore
O
London
,
this
is
a
Warning
to
thee
,
Let
thy
Inhabitants
repent
,
the
dreadfull
day
of
the
Lord
is
coming
,
I
have
heard
the
voyce
of
war
against
thee
,
and
not
of
peace
,
the
cry
of
howling
,
and
bitter
Lamentation
,
and
not
of
gladnes
,
nor
joy
of
heart
,
what
wilt
thou
doe
in
the
day
of
thy
visitation
,
when
the
the
Lord
stretcheth
forth
his
hand
to
smite
thee
,
to
whom
wilt
thou
flee
,
and
where
wilt
thou
be
hid
when
the
Lord
shewes
himselfe
thy
Enemy
,
and
appears
to
take
an
account
of
thee
,
what
will
become
of
all
thy
treasures
,
how
will
thy
vaine
glory
become
a
stink
,
how
will
the
dayes
of
thy
mirth
be
turned
into
grievous
sorrow
,
in
stead
of
thy
pleasures
,
and
delicacies
,
and
mirth
,
and
wantonnesse
,
shall
be
sighing
,
and
mourning
,
and
wofull
Lamentation
,
all
thy
Gods
shall
not
be
able
to
deliver
thee
,
nor
all
thy
profession
shall
not
justifie
thee
,
nor
all
thy selfe-separating
people
shall
not
be
able
to
stand
in
the
gap
to
stay
the
hand
of
the
destroyer
,
none
of
thy
carved
Images
shall
stay
his
fury
,
nor
none
of
thy
severall
Sects
shall
be
a
Mountaine
to
hide
thee
,
when
the
Lord
strips
thee
naked
,
and
layes
thee
bare
,
and
gives
thee
to
know
what
is
in
thy
heart
,
which
will
come
upon
thee
in
a
day
not
looked
for
.
Wherefore
repent
all
sorts
of
people
,
and
turne
to
the
Lord
if
there
may
be
mercy
found
.
Cease
your
wickednesse
ye
wicked
,
and
learne
to
live
righteously
.
Woe
unto
you
drunkards
.
Woe
unto
you
whoremongers
.
Woe
unto
you
coveteous
.
Woe
unto
you
Lyars
,
Swearers
,
and
Scorners
.
Woe
unto
you
dissemblers
,
and
deceitfull
dealers
.
Woe
unto
you
proud
,
and
vaine
glorious
.
Woe
unto
you
lustfull
people
.
The
Lord
will
plead
with
you
all
,
and
give
unto
you
the
fruit
of
doings
,
and
reward
according
to
your
works
;
his
hand
shall
not
spare
,
nor
his
eye
shall
not
pity
in
the
day
that
he
comes
to
Judgement
,
when
he
takes
vengeance
upon
all
the
seed
of
evill
doers
,
and
to
pluck
up
the
wild
branches
,
and
to
cast
them
into
the
fire
.
Sackcloath
shall
be
put
on
instead
of
gay
Apparell
,
and
all
thy
Idolls
shall
vanish
away
;
as
for
all
thy
profession
,
where
is
it
?
all
thy
many
Sermons
,
and
long
Prayers
,
what
is
become
of
them
?
and
all
thy
publique
and
private
duties
,
where
are
they
?
shall
it
be
said
,
Ye
shall
all
know
that
there
is
a
God
that
will
execute
judgement
and
justice
,
and
that
will
plead
with
all
flesh
,
and
in
his
sight
shall
no
flesh
be
justified
.
And
all
ye
who
thirsteth
for
the
Lord
,
and
desireth
after
the
knowledge
of
his
wayes
,
unto
whom
iniquity
is
a
burden
,
by
you
desired
to
be
freed
from
,
who
have
long
sought
the
Lord
,
and
have
not
yet
found
him
,
who
have
prayed
,
and
had
no
answer
,
and
have
been
weary
,
and
heavy
laden
,
and
found
no
rest
:
I
say
unto
you
,
Save
your selves
from
this
untoward
generation
,
come
ye
out
of
these
abominations
,
that
you
may
be
delivered
from
the
wrath
;
Fear
ye
the
Lord
,
and
doe
not
offend
him
in
any
thing
,
stand
in
awe
,
and
transgresse
not
,
love
righteousnes
and
truth
,
touch
no
unclean
thing
,
and
the
Lord
will
receive
you
,
meddle
not
with
their
worships
,
nor
bow
not
to
their
Images
,
nor
sacrifice
not
to
their
Idoll
gods
,
have
no
fellowship
with
them
in
their
prophanesse
,
nor
yet
in
their
hypocrisie
,
but
hearken
ye
to
the
voyce
of
the
Lord
,
that
you
may
know
his
judgements
in
your
hearts
,
and
his
Law
and
Covenant
established
with
you
;
depart
from
all
iniquity
,
and
cast
away
all
your
Idolls
,
and
forsake
all
your
lovers
.
Give
not
your selves
to
the
wayes
and
pleasures
of
this
world
,
but
give
your selves
to
chastity
,
to
sobernesse
,
and
meeknesse
,
and
above
all
things
be
upright
in
heart
towards
God
,
and
towards
man
,
speak
the
truth
one
to
another
,
and
let
no
guile
dwell
in
your
lips
,
nor
a
deceitfull
tongue
in
your
mouth
.
And
cease
from
all
vaine
glory
,
and
vaine
customes
,
and
fashions
of
the
world
,
which
are
evill
.
And
cease
from
all
Men-teachers
,
which
deceives
the
People
by
flattering
words
,
who
cries
peace
when
the
Lord
hath
not
spoken
peace
,
and
daubes
with
untempered
Morter
,
such
hath
not
profited
you
at
all
,
but
your
soules
are
starved
under
your
Ministry
,
and
leannesse
is
upon
you
,
though
you
ever
learne
of
them
,
yet
you
cannot
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
truth
by
them
.
Cease
from
them
all
,
and
from
all
your
gathered
and
selfe-separate
Congregations
,
and
waite
upon
the
Lord
that
you
may
know
him
to
be
your
Teacher
,
who
is
the
Teacher
of
all
his
people
,
and
he
teacheth
in
the
perfect
way
of
peace
and
truth
,
and
gives
peace
unto
all
that
waite
upon
him
,
and
causeth
the
heart
of
the
upright
to
rejoyce
,
he
taketh
away
sin
,
and
removes
it
from
his
people
,
and
he
forgiveth
all
their
iniquities
,
and
healeth
all
their
back-slidings
,
and
blessed
are
all
they
that
put
their
trust
in
him
,
for
he
is
a
God
near
at
hand
,
for
he
dwells
in
his
people
,
and
he
is
worshipped
onely
in
the
Spirit
,
and
in
the
truth
.
He
dwells
not
in
Temples
made
with
hands
,
neither
is
he
worshipped
in
outward
observations
,
his
soule
hath
no
pleasure
among
any
selfe-separate
People
,
who
cryes
I
am
holier
then
another
,
neither
is
he
well
pleased
with
a
Sacrafice
of
the
proud
;
all
their
Baptismes
,
and
Fellowships
,
and
Meetings
,
is
but
a
wearinesse
to
the
Lords
soule
,
and
he
hath
no
pleasure
in
any
of
their
works
,
who
follows
their
own
spirit
,
and
are
not
led
with
the
pure
Spirit
of
God
alone
,
but
unto
every
one
of
such
will
he
look
,
who
is
poor
in
spirit
,
and
of
a
contrite
heart
,
and
of
a
single
and
upright
mind
,
he
gives
regard
unto
every
one
that
feares
his
Name
,
who
thirsts
and
hungers
after
him
in
truth
and
righteousnesse
,
and
this
is
of
exceeding
great
prize
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
yea
more
then
all
offerings
and
oblations
whatsoever
,
even
more
then
thousands
of
rames
,
and
ten
thousands
of
river
of
Oyle
.
Therefore
hearken
diligently
to
the
voyce
of
the
Lord
,
and
seek
him
with
an
upright
heart
,
and
thirst
for
him
as
for
your
daily
food
,
I
ose
not
your
precious
time
,
but
call
upon
his
name
while
he
is
near
,
for
he
is
come
near
unto
many
;
he
stands
at
the
door
,
if
any
will
open
,
he
will
come
in
,
and
will
dwell
with
them
for
evermore
.
All
sorts
of
People
be
awakened
,
be
awakened
,
how
doth
the
Lord
wait
to
be
gracious
unto
you
,
he
even
tarries
for
you
till
you
returne
to
him
,
that
his
soule
may
have
pleasure
in
you
,
who
hath
long
been
grieved
by
you
.
Therefore
search
your
own
hearts
,
and
see
how
you
stand
prepared
to
meet
the
Lord
by
following
of
his
Counsell
,
who
hath
so
loved
you
,
and
all
man
kind
,
that
he
hath
given
his
Son
into
the
world
to
be
a
light
unto
you
all
,
and
every
one
of
you
is
lightned
by
him
,
and
with
the
light
you
will
know
your
evill
deeds
,
and
are
convinced
of
them
,
and
reproved
for
them
,
and
with
this
Light
Jesus
Christ
calls
you
sinners
to
Repentance
,
to
turne
from
your
evills
that
you
may
be
restored
.
If
you
love
this
Light
,
you
love
Christ
,
who
will
save
you
from
all
your
sins
,
and
from
condemnation
:
If
you
hate
this
Light
you
hate
Christ
,
and
you
remaine
in
your
sins
to
be
everlastingly
condemned
.
And
thus
is
the
way
of
life
,
and
the
way
of
death
set
before
you
all
:
if
you
follow
the
light
of
Christ
Jesus
,
it
will
teach
you
to
deny
this
world
,
and
all
the
vanities
of
it
,
it
will
teach
you
to
deny
your
own
wills
,
and
the
counsells
of
your
own
hearts
,
and
whatsoever
is
contrary
to
God
in
thought
,
word
,
or
action
,
and
in
all
things
it
will
teach
to
follow
Jesus
Christ
,
that
you
may
be
justified
by
him
;
But
if
you
follow
not
the
light
,
then
you
chuse
your
own
wayes
to
follow
your
own
wills
,
and
your
own
lusts
,
and
all
temptations
,
and
you
deny
Christ
and
the
way
of
truth
,
and
so
the
wrath
of
God
abides
upon
you
,
for
you
continue
in
unbeliefe
,
and
in
hardnesse
of
heart
,
and
are
the
servants
of
sin
unto
death
,
if
you
follow
not
the
light
which
Christ
hath
enlightned
you
withall
,
who
lighteth
every
man
that
comes
into
the
world
,
that
they
may
believe
and
be
saved
.
Therefore
take
heed
to
the
light
,
if
you
be
guided
by
it
,
you
shall
not
transgresse
against
God
,
but
you
will
receive
the
power
of
God
to
overcome
all
evill
;
all
sin
and
iniquity
will
be
condemned
in
you
,
and
your
hearts
will
be
made
clean
for
the
Lord
to
dwell
in
,
whose
dwelling
is
in
his
people
,
and
you
must
all
cease
from
professing
of
what
you
doe
not
posesse
,
and
from
talking
of
what
you
doe
not
enjoy
,
for
that
is
hypocrisie
,
and
to
be
judged
.
So
all
ye
Professours
be
awakened
,
Christ
without
you
will
not
justifie
you
,
except
yee
know
Christ
within
you
,
the
Profession
of
him
will
not
take
away
sin
,
nor
justifie
in
the
sight
of
God
,
except
you
come
to
witnesse
the
operation
of
his
Spirit
in
you
,
and
to
teach
you
,
from
all
evill
,
and
into
all
good
.
Therefore
come
to
the
feeling
of
the
Spirit
of
Jesus
in
you
,
and
the
working
of
it
,
which
changeth
,
reneweth
,
and
sanctifieth
,
and
brings
to
witnesse
the
same
truth
to
be
manifest
in
the
heart
,
which
the
Scripture
speaks
of
without
;
and
as
you
receive
the
same
Spirit
which
gave
forth
the
Scriptures
,
so
you
will
understand
the
Scriptures
,
and
by
no
other
means
;
For
all
your
Preaching
,
and
talking
of
the
Scriptures
without
the
Spirit
is
but
vaine
babling
,
and
that
mouth
is
to
be
stopt
,
for
God
is
not
known
where
the
operation
of
his
Spirit
is
not
felt
in
the
heart
,
nor
he
cannot
be
worshipped
in
truth
,
but
where
his
Spirit
leads
and
guides
.
Much
vaine
Profession
ther
's
in
thee
O
City
,
in
which
the
Lord
hath
no
delight
:
And
this
is
the
Testimony
of
the
Lord
which
I
give
concerning
thee
,
and
doe
yet
once
more
call
unto
thee
,
as
often
I
have
done
,
and
doe
seale
the
Lords
Testimony
against
thee
,
even
against
all
thy
righteousnesse
,
and
against
all
thy
sin
,
which
are
both
alike
unto
God
,
and
both
to
be
condemned
.
Thou
hast
been
warned
,
and
thy
people
,
and
the
day
of
a
glorious
Visitation
hath
passed
over
thee
,
the
Lord
hath
reached
unto
many
,
and
striked
many
who
have
not
grieved
,
but
carelesly
walked
,
and
slighted
the
day
of
their
visitation
,
and
have
not
hearkned
to
the
Lords
call
,
unto
thousands
hath
the
word
of
the
Lord
been
declared
,
and
the
Kingdome
of
God
preached
nigh
at
hand
,
and
the
very
way
of
life
and
death
hath
been
set
before
you
,
for
the
Lord
hath
sent
unto
thee
to
warne
thee
,
and
to
shew
unto
thee
what
the
Counsell
of
the
Lord
is
;
and
thousands
have
been
reached
with
the
power
of
God
,
and
convinced
of
the
way
of
life
&
peace
,
who
yet
continues
in
hardnes
of
heart
,
and
disobedience
,
following
the
counsell
of
their
own
heart
,
and
the
desire
of
their
own
minds
,
which
are
wholly
evil
continually
,
and
the
condemnation
of
such
will
be
just
in
the
day
of
the
Lord
,
and
greater
then
theirs
to
whom
the
way
of
the
Lord
hath
not
been
known
.
And
yet
amongst
thy
thousands
who
are
in
the
way
to
destruction
,
the
Lord
hath
a
remnant
,
a
few
among
so
many
,
which
are
precious
unto
him
,
and
whom
his
soule
delighteth
in
,
who
are
despised
in
thee
,
and
set
at
nought
,
and
cast
out
of
the
favour
of
all
men
;
yet
is
the
Lords
presence
amongst
them
,
and
his
fear
in
their
hearts
,
and
his
encrease
is
unto
them
,
and
his
power
with
them
,
till
all
their
enemies
be
vanished
as
a
cloud
,
for
they
are
of
the
true
seed
,
and
of
the
true
birth
,
which
the
Lord
will
blesse
,
though
they
be
accounted
as
thy
slaves
,
and
bondmen
,
yet
are
they
free
in
the
Lord
;
and
this
is
the
very
fulfilling
of
thy
wickednesse
,
and
the
height
of
the
transgression
of
thy
Rulers
,
Teachers
and
People
,
in
that
some
of
them
that
feares
the
Lord
,
and
walks
with
him
are
persecuted
in
thee
,
even
they
are
made
a
prey
unto
the
wicked
,
to
the
slanderers
,
to
the
drunkards
,
to
the
scorners
,
to
unjust
and
cruell
men
,
the
people
of
the
Lord
are
become
a
very
prey
in
thee
,
even
as
meat
for
the
devourers
.
Oh
what
wilt
thou
do
in
the
day
of
thy
visitation
,
when
the
righteous
Judge
numbers
up
these
things
against
thee
?
thystaffe
shall
faile
thee
,
thy
Physitians
shall
be
of
no
value
,
and
all
thy
comforters
shall
be
miserable
at
that
day
.
I
have
truly
considered
thy
condition
,
and
measured
thy
state
,
and
I
have
often
seriously
weighed
thy
wickednesse
,
and
pondered
what
would
be
the
end
thereof
,
and
there
is
no
vision
of
peace
unto
thee
,
but
even
the
day
of
desperate
sorrow
,
a
recompence
for
all
thy
works
from
the
hand
of
the
Lord
.
I
have
often
truly
lamented
thee
,
and
seriously
hath
thy
condition
entred
into
my
heart
,
thy
iniquities
have
often
pressed
my
soule
,
and
my
Spirit
hath
been
grieved
within
me
,
when
I
have
viewed
thy
great
abominations
,
and
how
thousands
in
thee
wholly
perish
for
lack
of
knowledge
,
and
even
resists
,
and
will
not
be
instructed
,
despightfully
using
such
as
doth
warne
them
,
even
loving
and
delighting
in
their
abominations
;
These
things
have
often
made
my
heart
sad
,
who
have
walked
in
thee
as
a
stranger
,
and
measured
thee
with
the
line
of
true
judgement
,
and
this
is
thy
height
,
and
length
,
and
depth
,
Iniquity
lodgeth
in
thee
,
and
Iniquity
covers
thee
,
and
Iniquity
compasseth
thee
about
.
And
this
is
a
Warning
to
thee
,
from
the
Lord
in
faithfulnesse
declared
unto
thee
,
whether
thou
resist
,
or
receive
,
and
thus
far
I
am
clear
of
the
Blood
of
all
men
in
thee
,
who
seeketh
not
any
thing
in
thee
for
my selfe
,
but
seeketh
,
and
hath
often
,
to
the
Lord
for
thee
,
that
thy
people
might
know
him
,
and
worship
him
alone
,
who
gives
unto
them
all
good
things
,
and
hath
caused
the
fulnesse
of
all
good
Creatures
to
abound
,
and
hath
given
plenty
of
all
things
,
abundance
of
which
is
spent
vainly
upon
the
lust
,
to
the
dishonour
of
God
who
gives
it
;
how
much
is
vainly
spent
upon
vanity
in
meats
,
and
drinks
,
and
apparell
?
It
s
hard
to
be
declared
what
abundance
of
the
good
creatures
of
God
is
vainely
destroyed
in
thee
upon
the
lust
in
the
excesse
,
more
then
what
satisfies
pure
nature
,
your
gluttony
and
high
minds
devoureth
in
abundance
the
good
creatures
which
God
gives
,
and
he
is
thereby
grieved
with
you
,
who
hath
taken
notice
of
this
your
sin
,
which
is
not
the
least
of
your
transgressions
,
and
he
will
plead
with
you
for
it
,
even
in
all
things
great
is
your
wickednesse
,
and
the
Lord
hath
numbred
it
.
And
above
all
things
that
is
done
in
thee
,
thy
deceitfull
profession
and
pretence
of
worship
of
God
,
is
the
Lord
most
grieved
with
,
who
hates
all
your
Meetings
of
gathered
assemblies
,
which
is
not
gathered
by
his
Spirit
,
he
will
confound
your
wisdome
,
and
overthrow
all
your
buildings
;
Wherefore
repent
ye
,
and
cease
from
Idolls
,
and
all
Idolatry
,
and
cease
for
ever
to
warme
your selves
at
your
own
sparks
,
for
this
shall
you
have
at
the
Lords
hands
,
Ye
shall
lie
down
in
sorrow
.
A
WARNING
to
you
all
sorts
of
People
.
YE
Merchants
,
and
traders
,
and
trafiquers
,
and
all
ye
that
buy
and
sell
,
be
plaine
and
upright
hearted
,
and
lie
not
,
swear
not
,
dissemble
not
for
gaine
unto
your selves
,
for
that
is
cursed
of
the
Lord
,
and
the
gaine
that
is
thereby
received
;
but
speak
the
truth
every
man
to
his
neighbour
,
flatter
not
such
with
whom
you
deale
by
feigned
words
of
guile
,
whilst
secret
over-reaching
lodgeth
in
your
hearts
,
to
make
a
prey
upon
your
neighbour
or
brother
,
for
this
is
evill
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
but
speak
the
truth
in
all
things
,
and
let
your
yea
be
yea
,
and
your
nay
nay
,
in
all
your
common
occasions
,
for
whatsoever
is
more
is
evill
,
and
what
is
advantaged
unto
you
through
deceit
,
or
lying
,
or
multitude
of
vaine
words
,
it
shall
be
a
curse
unto
you
,
and
not
a
blessing
unto
you
,
or
to
your
children
;
let
the
truth
guide
you
in
all
your
dealings
one
with
another
,
and
let
the
fear
of
God
be
in
your
hearts
in
all
your
enterprizes
at
Sea
and
Land
.
I
warne
you
all
,
seek
not
by
any
evill
means
to
enrich
your selves
,
neither
oppresse
one
another
in
any
thing
wherein
you
deale
,
for
you
know
not
how
long
your
time
shall
be
upon
earth
,
nor
how
soon
the
day
of
account
will
come
,
wherein
every
word
and
every
work
shall
be
brought
to
Judgement
,
yea
for
every
idle
word
shall
ye
give
an
account
,
and
all
those
words
are
idle
which
are
not
spoken
in
the
fear
of
the
Lord
,
therefore
live
and
act
in
the
fear
of
God
,
that
you
may
be
blessed
in
all
that
you
doe
.
And
all
ye
whom
the
Lord
hath
blessed
with
riches
and
increase
,
see
that
you
abuse
not
that
which
God
hath
blessed
you
withall
,
but
in
all
things
that
it
be
used
to
the
glory
of
the
Lord
,
and
not
wasted
in
excesse
upon
the
lust
of
your
own
minds
,
for
the
creation
is
the
Lords
,
and
all
things
are
given
by
him
,
and
taken
away
at
his
pleasure
,
and
he
maketh
rich
,
and
he
maketh
poor
whomsoever
he
will
.
Therefore
every
man
be
content
with
his
own
,
and
covet
not
one
anothers
,
nor
defraud
not
one
another
to
enrich
your selves
,
for
it
is
cursed
of
the
Lord
.
And
all
ye
handicrafts
people
,
and
labouring
people
,
fear
ye
the
Lord
continually
,
and
use
no
deceit
,
nor
craft
,
nor
policy
in
what
you
doe
in
labour
,
seek
not
to
blind
mens
eyes
by
faire
outsides
,
neither
to
cozen
and
cheat
the
simple
by
slighty
work
,
but
let
the
truth
guide
you
,
and
that
will
teach
you
to
doe
for
all
men
as
you
would
they
should
doe
for
you
,
and
this
is
acceptable
in
the
sight
of
God
;
let
your
commodities
be
just
and
right
,
and
let
all
your
labour
be
with
a
single
heart
,
and
do
all
things
as
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
and
then
you
cannot
doe
evill
if
the
fear
of
God
be
before
your
eyes
,
and
the
evill
in
all
things
will
be
denyed
,
and
the
corruption
that
is
entred
into
all
callings
and
trades
,
will
be
judged
out
,
and
be
examples
one
to
another
of
truth
and
righteousnesse
and
cozen
not
nor
cheat
not
one
another
,
nor
use
not
many
words
,
nor
vaine
gestures
,
but
own
the
Lord
to
be
your
Teacher
,
which
will
teach
you
truth
to
do
it
,
and
to
speak
it
in
all
things
.
And
all
ye
young
men
,
and
Prentises
,
Learn
ye
the
fear
of
the
Lord
,
and
take
heed
of
temptations
,
least
ye
be
destroyed
both
soule
and
body
by
them
;
learn
not
to
dissemble
,
nor
to
defraud
,
nor
take
not
instructions
how
to
cozen
and
cheat
,
but
first
seek
the
kingdome
of
God
and
its
righteousnesse
,
and
then
all
outwards
things
shall
be
added
unto
you
.
Give
not
your selves
to
any
evill
,
beware
of
Wine
and
Women
,
which
steales
away
the
hearts
of
many
,
give
not
your selves
to
vanity
,
nor
fulfill
not
the
desire
of
your
own
minds
in
any
thing
,
covet
not
after
riches
,
neither
study
how
to
be
pround
and
vaine
glorious
,
give
not
your selves
to
craft
and
humane
policies
,
nor
to
deceive
any
people
,
but
fear
God
and
keep
his
Commandments
,
and
be
subject
to
your
Masters
,
and
obey
them
in
all
things
that
is
good
,
and
be
dutifull
to
them
in
that
which
is
just
and
righteous
,
but
deny
them
in
whatsoever
is
evill
:
Learn
not
craft
and
policy
from
them
,
neither
whoredome
,
nor
vice
,
nor
drunkennesse
,
nor
cozenning
,
nor
any
other
thing
which
is
evill
,
but
rather
reprove
those
things
,
then
in
the
least
to
follow
them
;
and
if
you
doe
the
truth
,
and
speak
the
truth
in
all
things
,
and
keep
your selves
from
whatsoever
is
evill
,
then
will
the
Lord
blesse
you
outwardly
,
and
inwardly
,
and
the
knowledge
of
God
will
be
your
crown
in
old
age
;
and
cease
from
all
gamings
,
and
vain
sportings
,
and
from
all
wantonnesse
,
and
vaine
pleasures
,
and
from
all
the
works
of
the
flesh
,
for
they
that
follow
such
things
shall
neither
prosper
in
this
world
,
nor
be
blessed
in
the
world
to
come
.
Wherefore
take
heed
unto
your selves
all
ye
that
are
young
in
the
world
,
be
not
overcome
of
evill
,
nor
follow
not
evill
devices
,
but
stand
in
awe
continually
,
and
offend
not
God
,
who
gives
you
life
,
and
health
,
and
all
good
things
.
And
all
ye
Masters
and
heads
of
Families
,
this
is
a
Warning
to
you
,
be
examples
of
all
good
in
your
Families
unto
your
children
and
servants
,
rule
in
Authority
in
the
fear
of
God
,
but
not
in
tyranny
,
nor
a
rigorous
mind
,
teach
and
instruct
in
fear
,
and
not
in
cruelty
,
give
no
bad
example
in
pride
,
vaine
glory
,
drunkennesse
,
whoredome
,
dissimulation
,
nor
any
other
thing
,
but
stand
as
a
terrour
over
all
evill
,
and
as
encouragers
of
all
good
,
bind
not
the
conscience
of
any
under
your
power
,
curb
sin
onely
,
and
reprove
not
righteousnesse
;
seek
ye
to
be
taught
of
God
,
and
then
may
you
instruct
all
under
you
in
his
way
;
be
pittifull
towards
your
children
,
and
servants
,
and
passe
by
offences
rather
then
punish
them
with
cruelty
,
and
make
not
a
prey
upon
your
Servants
to
serve
your
own
ends
onely
,
seeking
your
own
good
onely
and
not
theirs
,
for
such
things
are
evill
in
the
sight
of
God
,
and
it
is
to
be
condemned
:
Let
no
excesse
,
neither
let
want
,
be
in
your
Families
,
but
that
which
is
honest
and
right
,
love
that
in
all
things
,
and
follow
it
;
let
not
your
anger
and
passion
exceed
when
offence
is
given
you
,
and
doe
not
correct
in
cruelty
,
but
in
a
good
understanding
,
and
walk
in
the
truth
,
and
fulfill
the
will
of
God
,
and
not
your
own
,
and
this
is
of
great
prize
and
acceptable
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
.
And
all
ye
Tavern
keepers
,
and
Inn-keepers
,
fear
the
Lord
God
,
and
oppresse
not
your
guests
neither
feed
the
lust
of
any
til
they
be
drunk
,
for
that
is
cursed
of
God
both
in
you
&
them
,
and
that
which
he
will
be
avenged
of
.
Oh
great
is
that
abomination
among
you
,
much
of
the
good
creatures
is
vainly
and
wickedly
spent
,
and
abused
in
your
dwellings
,
and
your
advantage
stands
in
the
abuse
of
the
creatures
by
excesse
,
and
the
Lord
is
grieved
with
you
because
of
that
.
And
all
sorts
of
People
,
rich
and
poor
,
high
and
low
,
Masters
and
Servants
,
Parents
and
children
,
buyers
and
sellers
,
Trades
men
and
labourers
,
Hearken
to
the
counsell
of
God
,
and
seek
to
know
his
will
to
you
in
all
things
that
you
may
doe
it
,
in
following
all
that
which
is
good
,
and
denying
all
that
which
is
evill
,
that
your
soules
may
live
;
Let
not
the
Devill
lead
you
,
nor
his
temptations
overcome
you
in
any
thing
,
but
resist
him
in
whatsoever
he
would
lead
you
into
which
is
against
God
and
contrary
to
him
.
Repent
of
all
evill
that
ever
you
have
acted
,
&
let
the
Lord
be
your
guide
that
you
may
not
utterly
perish
,
and
your
City
be
destroyed
for
your
sakes
,
the
Lords
love
is
towards
you
,
and
he
waits
to
be
gracious
unto
you
,
and
desireth
your
returne
,
rather
then
your
destruction
,
and
would
heale
you
if
ye
did
waite
upon
him
,
and
would
blesse
your
City
,
and
make
you
happy
in
it
,
if
you
doe
his
will
,
and
deny
your
own
.
I
am
a
friend
unto
all
your
soules
,
and
a
publisher
of
peace
,
and
of
glad
tidings
to
all
that
thirst
for
the
Lord
,
and
he
hath
given
me
to
warne
you
of
all
your
Iniquities
,
and
abominations
to
deny
them
,
and
of
all
that
which
is
good
to
follow
it
.
And
oh
that
ye
knew
in
this
your
day
the
things
which
belongs
to
your
peace
,
which
now
ye
may
know
,
before
they
be
totally
hid
from
your
eyes
,
and
there
be
no
place
for
Repentance
,
nor
time
of
returning
,
and
this
day
will
come
upon
many
,
and
they
cannot
escape
it
,
who
now
hardens
their
hearts
against
the
way
of
your
own
peace
,
and
even
scornes
to
be
reproved
for
their
transgression
,
and
such
my
soule
pitties
who
are
going
in
the
way
of
destruction
,
and
runs
hastily
into
perdition
;
I
have
many
times
been
made
sad
by
reason
of
such
,
when
I
have
measured
the
condition
of
all
people
;
upon
my
bed
,
I
have
pondered
what
abomination
was
in
thee
,
and
what
would
be
the
end
thereof
,
and
I
have
desired
nothing
so
much
,
as
that
I
might
faithfully
warne
thee
,
and
free
my selfe
,
and
the
Lord
from
the
blood
of
all
men
;
deep
thoughts
have
been
upon
me
concerning
what
the
counsell
of
the
Lord
is
unto
you
all
,
that
I
might
manifest
the
truth
,
and
discover
the
abominations
,
and
I
have
not
spared
to
cry
repentance
unto
sinners
,
that
sinners
might
be
converted
,
and
turne
unto
the
Lord
,
and
thus
farre
I
am
clear
of
the
blood
of
all
men
,
and
the
Lord
is
cleare
,
and
if
the
wicked
perish
,
it
is
because
of
their
unbeliefe
,
and
gainsaying
of
the
Lord
,
and
this
is
the
Testimony
that
I
give
unto
thee
,
and
unto
all
thy
people
,
O
London
hearken
,
and
consider
this
is
the
only
day
of
your
visitation
,
and
there
is
not
another
way
to
life
,
nor
to
escape
everlasting
death
,
and
destruction
then
that
which
the
Lord
hath
shewed
you
,
Blessed
is
he
that
can
receive
it
,
and
they
that
deny
it
doth
utterly
perish
without
mercy
.
London

moneth

I
am
as
a
stranger
among
you
,
yet
well
known
to
the
Lord
,
and
the
Testimony
of
God
concerning
you
shall
stand
for
ever
;
for
it
is
true
,
and
shall
not
be
confounded
,
though
the
wicked
reject
it
to
their
own
destruction
.
