1. Let every one take heed, let the fear of God be upon every soul, especially any of you that are more eminent than others in any place, take heed, as from God this day take warning, that thou be not the least interruption in the great work that God is about; certainly if you be, if you will stand in this door to hinder the good that God is letting in, you will certainly be overcome, you will certainly be vanquished, you can never hinder the work God is about, and therefore those men that are superstitious, Antichristian, and would uphold that work (I say) those men are in some respects more unhappy, than the superstitious and Antichristian men in former times, because that those that before did seek to maintain superstition, & popery, & the like, then it was a time that God was peaceable, and suffering towards the enemies of his people, and was content it should come in then, I mean content by way of permission, not by way of approbation, and did suffer it, but now is the very time that God is quite rooting it out, it is the very time that God is setting himself against it, and therefore they that shall now seek to uphold it, they are men that are most unhappy; because at that time they stand in the door, just when God is coming with his power, and with his strength. O! take heed you have no hand in interrupting the great work God is about, and (my brethren) that we may give God the honour of this door of hope.
