therefore put thy trust in the living God and not in man whose breath is in his nostrils that thou mayest be saved from the day of wrath which will suddenly come upon the families of the earth All Nations shall partake of his wrath and all Tongues of his fury for all flesh hath corrupted its way before the Lord all flesh hath sinned and come short of the glory of God so all flesh must know the wrath of God executed upon the wicked for the Lord hath determined a Consumption to come upon the whole earth therefore O earth earth hear the Word of the Lord and be thou separated from your uncleanness and live before the Lord that all the dayes of thy appointed time thou mayest wait till the change comes for nothing but life will stand before the Lord who is immortal And know this of a truth that this is written in pure love to thy soul O London the righteous is oppressed in thee and the innocent cryeth in thy streets by reason of oppression O! feed the hungry and cloath the naked and hide not thy self from thy own flesh for you are all made of one blood and one mould upon the face of the whole earth He that saith he loves God and doth not feed the hungry and cloath the naked and judge the cause of the poor and needy he is a lyar and doth not the truth And know this ye Judges and Rulers and Magistrates that there is a Judge above you which will call you to an account and will judge you out of the book of Conscience and give you a full reward and you shall all know in the day when the Lord rips off all coverings and takes peace from the earth that there is a Deliverer in Sion which will deliver his righteous seed and none shall hinder and although we are despised in thee and hated by thee yet the Lord who is the everlasting Councellor and Prince of Peace he is our Redeemer who is the portion of our cup and the lot of our inheritance we have none in heaven but him nor upon earth that can deliver but he he wil plead our cause with them that hate us and our innocency shall appear as the Sun in her ful strength we shall be as a morning without clouds when the Lord shall arise and take the honor to himself and exalt his Kingdome above the heavens and his Dominion above the stars then shall Jerusalem be the praise of the whole earth and they shall rejoyce in her who now mourneth and say one to another Come let us stand upon Mount Sion and sit down upon the holyhill for our God and his Christ reigneth over all the whole earth O! this is a blessed estate which the ●ighteous doth inherit but as for the wicked they are as stubble throughly dried and the Word of the Lord is as a fire and they must be burned up and be shut without the gates of the City where the Lamb treads the Wine-press of Gods wrath So in the fear of the Lord repent and amend thy life least God sweep thee away into the pit of utter destruction out of which there is no redemption Oh London the Lord God of Heaven and of Earth he is burdened with thy vain Religion who maketh a profession of God and of Christ and yet liveth in lust and vanity pride and vain-glory in swearing and curfing and yet is covered with a covering which the Lord will take away O how doth gluttony abound in thee rioting and sporting in the day time thou knowst not how almost to go along the streets thou art so proud and haughty and the poor in thee are ready to famish for whose estate and condition my heart is pained within me old and young blind and lame lieth in thy streets and at thy Masse-houses doors crying for bread who are almost naked for want of cloathing and fainting for want of bread and yet thou canst passe by them in thy gaudy apparrel and our-stretched neck with thy face decked with black spots which are the marks of the Whore the Beast and the False Prophet which is not the attire of Sarah Abrahams wife Thou knowest not what to eat nor what to drink nor wherewith to be cloathed thy mind is so vain and thy Religion is so aiery and if any of these that are blind or lame or destitute of a being asketh of thee a penny or farthing thou sayest thou hast it not for them O!

tremble and quake before the Lord ye sons of Sodom and Daughters of Gomorrah who doth inhabit this mortal City which doth-corrupt and will die away your glory the Lord will bring to nothing therefore keep to the light which condemns you that an entrance into the immortal Kingdome you may find Woe be unto all thy Usurers who hoardeth up the unrighteous mammon and doth not lend to the poor and distressed and saith they have it not for them the rust of their money in the Day of Judgement shall rise up against them and Gods swift Witness in their own hearts shall condemn them which lives for ever therefore all ye Usurers Soothsayers and Star-gazers that inhabiteth this place and elsewhere repent for Gods plagues and Judgements is to be executed upon you and upon all that lendeth an ear unto you you Star-gazers and Astrologers who can discern the face of the Sky but doth not know the signs of the coming of the Son of Man whose glorious appearance will discover your dark works that you act in the dark night and tho night shall passe away and you shall know a day of Judgement and see him whom you have pierced of whom the Sun Moon and Stars bears testimony and keepeth their station with God therefore its good for you to know the Rod of God to instruct you in his path and to lead you to his Kingdome and this is the desire of my soul that you may all inhabit peace and rest with the King of Heaven and Earth So know that your day of visitation is now the Lord doth hold forth unto you mercy and peace therefore imbrace it whilst it is tendred unto you least you be shut out and
