‘up and down in the Scriptures, and blending thy Spirit amongst
‘the Saints Conditions; who hadst a Prophecy, as thy Father Balaam
‘had, but art erred from it, as thy Father did: One whose Fruit
‘hath withered (of which I am a Witness;) and many who have
‘known thy Fruit, have seen the End of it, that it is withered: and
‘do see, where thou art, in the blind World, a blind Leader of the
‘Blind; a Beast wallowing and tumbling in the Earth, and in the Lust,
‘one that is erred from the Spirit of the Lord; who art of old or-
‘dained for Condemnation: Who art in the Seas of the Pharisees,
‘art called of Men Master, standest Praying in the Synagogues, and
‘hast the Chief Seat in the Assemblies; a right Hypocrite in the steps
‘of the Pharisees, and in the way of thy Fathers, the Hypocrites,
‘which our Lord Jesus Christ cried Wo against. Such with the
‘Light thous art seen to be, and by the Light art Comprehended:
‘which is thy Condemnation, who hatest it; and will be so Eternally.
‘except thou Repent. To see this is the Word of God: for in Christ‘s
‘Way thou art not, but in the Pharisees; as thou mayst read, Mat. 23.
‘and all that own Christ’s Words, may see thee there. Christ who
‘died at Jerusalem, cried Wo against such as thou art; and Christ
‘is the same yesterday, to day, and for ever. The Wo remains upon
‘thee,, and from under it thou canst never come; but through Judg-
‘ment, Condemnation, and true Repentance. To thee this is the VVord
‘of God: To that of God in thy Conscience I do speak, which will
‘witness the Truth, of what I write, and will Condemn thee. And
‘when thou art in thy Torment (though now thou swellest in thy
‘Vanity, and livest in Wickedness) remember, thou wast warned in
‘thy Life-time when the Eternal Condemnation is stretched over thee,
‘thou shalt witness this to be the VVord of the Lord God unto thee.
‘And if ever thy Eye should see Repentance, thou would’st witness
‘me to have been a Friend of thy Soul.

G. F.                             

Having thus cleared my Conscience to the Justice, and to the Priest
of Ulverstone, who had raised the first Persecution in that Country;
it was upon me to send this VVarning in Writing to the People of Ul-
verstone in general.

‘speak among you, being sent of God to direct your Minds to God,
‘that you might know, where you might find your Teacher; that
‘your Minds might be stayed alone upon God, and you might not
‘gad abroad without you for a Teacher: for the Lord God alone will
‘Teach his People, and he is coming to Teach them, and to gather his
