their hearts in meekness to warn sinners to repentance let them be ordained unto this power, for this is a day of warning & not a day of many words, for I the Lord am not to be mocked in the last days behold I am from above & my power lieth beneath, I am over all & in all & through all & searcheth all things & the days come that all things shall be subject unto me
Behold I am Alpha and Omega even Jesus Christ wherefore let all men beware how they take my name in their lips, for behold verily I say, that ma[n]y there be who are under this condemnation, who useth the name of the Lord & useth it in vain having not authority, wherefore let the repent of their sins & I, the Lord will own them otherwise they shall be cut off— Remember that that, which cometh from above is sacred & must be spoken with care & by constraint of the Spirit & in this there is no condemnation & ye receive the Spirit through prayer [p. [53]]
