A WARNING TO ALL THE WORLD, BY ANNE GARGEL.

A Warning to all Priests & People; the Lord is burthened with your iniquities, the Lord God will overthrow your table of Idols, and the imagination of your hearts shall be confounded; the Lord God will call to an account your Abomination, and the workers of iniquity shall be confounded; the Lord is going about to search all hearts; the Dominion of the ungodly, shall be overthrown, and the wisdom of God revealed to the simple, & the prudence of the Serpent brought to nought; the subtil shall be confounded in their own snares, and the wisdom of the eternall God shall stand for ever; the pure in heart shall see God and live for ever, and the Adulterous Woman shall be confounded: Long hath the Heritage of the Lord layen wast, through the abomination of the Harlot; but now shall the innocent judg the Whore, her reward shall be doubled and her pride [Page] brought to nought, and the Merchants of the earth shal howle over her, their profession shall be taken away; the abominations of all hearts is known to the Lord, their wisdom is accursed: The bitter Root shall be removed, and the Plant of the innocent shal stand, and the wisdom of God shall guide the pure; the Eternall Plant of the Lord shall live for ever. Minde the wisdom of God to guide your mindes; the Light of Christ that sheweth sin and evill, by it to be guided, til the imaginations of your hearts be destroyed, and subtilty cease, and the dead shall rise, and wisdom set up. In stead of the Lord you have obeyed subtilty, and the Lamb layen slaine under the abomination of your hearts: Now shal the Lord arise and call to an account the heathen, and the innocent that hath been slain shall judge the Whore, and reward her double. The Righteous soul of Lot was grieved at the abomination of Sodome; the Lord alone delivered him, by the wisdome of God he was preserved, and the whole world was overthrown. Abide in the wisdome of God, O ye simple, that the innocent may be preserved, and the power of God known to confound all your enemies, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life; that the bands of iniquity may be loosed, and the Prisoner set free, and the Lamb upon his Throne. The Heritage of the Lord hath long laine wast, the seditious seed of the Devill hath ruled. No longer will the Lord bear with your abomination, he will confound your wisdom, and bring to nought your pride, the simple shal confound your wisdome, and your shame shall be made manifest to all that dwel in the light of the Lamb; your deceit is known to the pure God; he shall confound your wisdom and bring to nought your pride, the workers of iniquities shall be blasted, and their Pathes consumed; [Page] and the Throned in the hearts of the innocent; he that denies God shal be ashamed in the day of his power, when he comes to reckon with all flesh; the Potentates of the earth shal be confounded, and their glory brought to nought. In the presence of the Lamb can they not stand, for the Lord alone shall be exalted; O ye bubbles: why do ye rebell against God? why is your hearts exalted against the innocent that calls for purity? the light of the Lamb discovers the deceits of your hearts, and wil judge you in secret when you rebel against God the pure God sees you all, nothing is hid from the Lambs presence; his presence is pure and holy, and no unclean thing can stand before him; wherefore return to the Lord, dwell in that which discovers sin; then shall the wisdome of God be made manifest, & his power known to cleanse your hearts, and to make manifest the works of the Devill to be the enemy of your souls, that long hath been exalted above the innocent, and the pure God hath not been known; your wisdom hath been exalted, & the innocent burdened, and the Lambs Power not known; Pure is God, and wil bear your iniquities no longer, your Tables of Idols shal be overwhelmed, and the righteous shal raign: In the Day of the Lords Power shall his enemies be made his Foot-stoole, and the worker, of iniquity shall be confounded; and over all shall the Lamb raign; he shall bring to confusion the counsel of your hearts, and the builders of Babel shall be destroyed. Blessed is that man that feares the LORD, by his wisdome shall he be guided. Dwel in wisdome all ye simple of the Lord, til Purity is Throned, and the glory of the Lord is seen to confound your wisdome, that hath been exalted against God, that the Lamb may judg and bring to nought the haughtiness of man: And all [Page] that hath been exalted against the innocent; The [...] God hath born your iniquities, long and patient hath the Lord been, but now the innocent shall reign, the whole earth shall witness his Power, and the wisdom of God shall be made manifest, the haughtiness of man shal be confounded; the Lord shall guide the hearts of the simple, and dwel with them of low degree; the Ceaders shall be cut down, and the plant of the Lord shal stand, and his wisdome shall guide the heart of the innocent, who dwels in the Light of the Lamb, by it to be guided; the exceeding wisdom of God wil dwel with the poor, and the rich shall be sent empty away; he that is abased shall be exalted, he dwels in the hearts of the lowly, and the lofty to him is not known; he that waits on God for wisdom, shall renew his strength, and the pure in spirit shal see God and live; the proud he beholdeth a far off, therefore shal your haughtiness be judged of the Lord, and innocencie shall overspread the Nation, and the Lamb shall be Throned for ever in the hearts of the obedient: Obey God all ye Ceaders, let the imaginations of your hearts be confounded; your shame shal appear to all men; the Lord shall establish the heart of the innocent, who by him is guided; the eternall God is wisdome, and his Peace is end loss; and Purity shall possess the hearts of those that fear him; his glory shall never decay, his Plant of renown shall stand for ever: The Root of the Devil shall be abased, that proceedeth from the lust and concupiscence of man that was by Adams fall, the fall of Adam maketh desolate: The resurrection of the Lord is pure, and purity possesseth the light of the Lamb; the lambs purity is peace, and the worlds glory is shame; therefore be ashamed you ungodly beasts, and minde the light of the lamb you to [Page] guide, that your bodies may be cleansed from dead works, to serve the living God, and cease from vanity, and obey the living God, who hath given every one a Talent; the Lord shall be clear of your blood at the latter day, when a reckoning shall be made with all flesh, to consume his enemies who hath trodden on the innocent, and lent his ear to the wicked, by it to be guided, while the Heritage of the Lord hath lain wast; therefore shal the Lord consume his enemies, and bring to nought their wisdome, and the Lamb shall be throned in the hearts of the simple for ever & ever. Blessed is the man that fears the Lord, he shall be as a Lanthorn to his pathes.

Creation

Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
