manifest to them, who are of God; who in his power triumph over you,
rejoice over you, the beast, the dragon, the false prophet, the
seducer, the hypocrite, the mother of all harlots. Now thou must have
thy cup double, give it to her double.
“Sing over her, ye righteous ones, sing over them all ye saints;
triumph in glory, triumph over deceit; sing the song of the Lamb,
triumph over the world; spread the truth abroad. Come ye captive ones
out of prison, and rejoice with one accord, for the joyful days are
coming. Let us be glad and rejoice for ever! singleness of heart is
come, pureness of heart is come, joy and gladness is come. The
glorious God is exalting himself: truth hath been talked of, but now
it is possessed. Christ hath been talked of; but now he is come and is
possessed. The glory hath been talked of; but now it is possessed, and
the glory of man is defacing. The Son of God hath been talked of; but
now he is come, and hath given us understanding. Unity hath been
talked of; but now it is come. Virgins have been talked of; but now
they are come with oil in their lamps. He will be glorified alone.
“Where pride is thrown down, earth and the fleshly will is thrown
down, and the pure is raised up; there alone is the Lord exalted. Let
the heavens bow down to him, and the earth reel to and fro, and
stagger up and down. The Lord is setting up his throne and his crown,
and throwing down the crown of man, and he alone will be glorified; to
whom be all honour and glory, all praises and all thanks! Who gives
his children wisdom and strength, knowledge and virtue, power and
riches, blessings and durable substance; an eye to discern, and an ear
to hear things singly; and brings down the pride of man’s heart, and
turns the wicked out of the kingdom. The righteous inherit
righteousness; the pure, pureness; the holy, holiness. Praises,
praises be to the Lord, whose glory now shines, whose day is broken
forth; which is hid from the world, hid from all worldly-wise ones,
and from all the prudent of this world; hid from the fowls of the air,
hid from all vultures’ eyes, all venomous beasts, all liars, all dogs,
and all swine. But to them that fear his name, the secrets of the Lord
are made manifest, the treasures of wisdom are opened, and the fulness
of knowledge: for thou, O Lord, dost make thyself manifest to thy
children.”

My spirit was greatly burdened to see the pride, that existed in the
nation, even among professors; and in the sense thereof I was moved to
give forth the following paper, directed—
“_To such as follow the World’s Fashions._
