Rh and that curſed ſupremacy that they ſtand on, for it will ruin them. And now I pray you take heed when there is ſo much error going thro' the land, wreſtle with God to keep you ſtraight and ſtedfaſt, adhering in your judgments and your hearts to the covenanted work of reformation: and as for theſe indulged miniſters, although they preach come truths, yet the Spirit of the Lord follows not what they preach to bleſs it, for what they ſpeak from the Word is not ſeaſonable nor living truths in denying times, ſuch as theſe are, and which our times are fallen in.

And now, people of God, I have this to tell you, and ſo I leave you, That there is as glorious days coming to Scotland yet, as ever was, and the the children of the perſecuted captivity shall be the beginning of a glorious kirk yet in Scotland, and ſhall be ſo zealous for the reproached truths of God, that they fall be ready, if they meet theſe miniſters that hath betrayed the work of God; I ſay they ſhall be ready to ſtone them with ſtones, and that ſhall be made out in Zechariah xiii. 4. That they ſhall not wear a rough garment to deceive any more as now they have done in Scotland, and in all theſe lands. And now the Lord himſelf bleſs thefe things unto you, and make you ſtedfaſt that you be not led awaywith the apoſtacy of the time, and theſe time-ſerving miniſters, that Demas like, hath forſaken the way of the Lord, and embraced the preſent world.

Now the Lord himſelf make you conſider theſe things, and faſten a conviction of them upon your hearts, that ye may be watchful and ſtedfaſt to the day of his coming.

Now unto the Lord, who is able to keep you from falling, be everlaſting praiſe. Amen.
