Sirs
,
the
night
is
far
spent
,
the
day
is
at
hand
,
and
blessed
,
yea
,
blessed
from
the
Lord
are
all
they
who
are
found
walking
not
as
children
of
the
night
but
of
the
day
.
The
hour
is
coming
,
and
now
is
,
that
all
coverings
shall
be
removed
and
the
vails
pluck't
from
off
all
faces
,
and
lamentation
and
woe
will
be
to
all
them
who
are
found
covered
,
but
not
with
the
covering
of
my
Spirit
,
saith
the
Lord
God
.
Awake
therefore
O
ye
Shepherds
,
awake
,
awake
,
stand
up
,
seriously
consider
of
and
prove
your
coverings
;
make
diligent
inquisition
and
search
whether
ye
are
covered
with
power
or
profession
,
with
the
substance
or
with
the
Forme
&c.
You
do
all
pretend
your selves
servants
to
the
Son
of
God
,

to
be
Ministers
by
him
called
forth
to

the
everlasting
Gospel

heart
do
I
wish
,
that
I
were
able
truly
to
say
of
every
individual
of
you
,
that
you
are
found
walking
worthy
of
such
a
Master
,
and
bringing
forth
fruit
worthy
of
that
high
and
holy
calling
,
with
which
you
pretend
your
s●lves
ca●led
,
I
shall
not
undertake
rashly
to
judge
you
,
or
accuse
you
unto
the
world
;
let
your
fruits
demonstrate
what
Trees
you
are
,
and
let
your
works
judge
you

You
pretend
the
Scripture

come
therefore

us
plainly
reason

will
condemne
you

absolve
you

The
Spirit
of
the
Lord
by
the
mouth
of
the
Prophet
accounted
it
among
the
abominations
of
the
Priests
and
Prophets
of
those
dayes
,
that
they
taught
for
hire
and
did
divine
for
money
;
and
as
an
aggravation
of
this
their
wickednesse
,
he
further
testifies
,
that
they
even
prepared
war
against
him
that
refused
to
put

that

some
