‘such things. Therfore, poor People, as ye love your own Souls,
‘consider the Love of God to your Souls, while ye have time; and
‘do not turn the Grace of God into Wantonness. That which shews
‘you Ungodliness and worldly Lusts, that should and would be your
‘Teacher, if ye would hearken to it; for the Saints of Old witnessed
‘the Grace of God to be their Teacher, which taught them to live
‘Soberly and Godly in this present World. And ye that are not
‘sober, this Grace of God hath appeared unto you; but you turn it
‘into Wantonness, and so set up Teachers without you, who are not
‘sober, not holy, not godly. Here you are left without Excuse, when
‘the Righteous Judgment of God shall be revealed upon you all, who
‘live Ungodlily. Therefore to the Light in you I speak; and when
‘the Book of Conscience shall come to be opened, then shall you Wit-
‘ness, what I say to be true, and you shall be judged out of it.
‘So God Almighty direct your Minds (such of you especially, as
‘love Honesty and Sincerity) that you may receive Mercy in the time
‘of Need. Your Teacher is within you; look not forth: It will
‘Teach you both lying in Bed, and going Abroad, to shun all Occasion
‘of Sin and Evil.

As the foregoing was directed To all the Inhabitants of Ulverston
in general; so it was upon me to write also to those more particularly,
that did most constantly follow W. Lampitt the Priest there. And
unto these I writ thus:

‘turned from the Light of Christ within, which he hath enlightned
‘you withal: Ye are such, as follow that which Christ cried Wo
‘against, that goes not in Christ’s Way, but in the Pharisees Way;
‘as ye may read Matt. 23. which our Lord Jesus Christ cried Wo
‘against. He is the same yesterday, to day and for ever: but him
‘ye own not, while ye follow such, as he cried Wo against; though
‘under a Colour ye make a Profession, and Lampitt, your Priest,
‘makes a Trade of Christ’s and the Saint’s Words, as his Fathers
‘the Pharisees did make a Profession of the Prophets Words, and of
‘Moses his Words. Wo was unto them, who had not the Life: so
‘VVo is unto you, who have not the Life that gave forth the Scri-
‘ptures; as your Fruits have made manifest. For when the Lord
‘hath moved some to come amongst you, to preach the Truth freely,
‘you have knock’d them down, beat, and punch’d and haled them out
‘of your Assemblies. Such a People serves thee, O Lampitt, to make
‘a prey upon; and these are thy Fruits: O let Shame, Shame strike
‘thee and you all in the Faces, who make a Profession of Christ’s
‘Words, thou and they; and yet are Stoners, and Strikers, and
‘Mockers, and Scoffers. Let all see, if this be not a Cage of Unclean
‘Birds spoken of in the Scriptures, which they, who had the Life of
