THE TRUMPET OF THE Lord c. GIve Ear O you Inhabitants of this Northern Island of the Gentiles who sate in Darkness and under the Region of the Shadow of Death in whom and amongst whom is arisen a Light God Eternal the Ancient of Dayes who was from everlasting and is to everlasting hath in these latter Ages of the World stretched out the Ancient Arm of his great Power to gather thine Inhabitants out of the broad wayes of Destruction into the narrow Way of Life eternal and in order to the Accomplishment of this great and glorious Work he hath caused his spiritual Trumpet to be sounded to awaken thine Inhabitants to stand up and hear his Determination which was and is to overturn lay waste confound and destroy the Kingdom of Anti-Christ and to set up and establish the Kingdom of his Son Christ Jesus to translate thousands and ten thousands out of the Kingdom of Satan into the Kingdom of his dear Son This Work O England God everlasting hath begun within thy Borders whose Glorious Bright Splendorous Day is dawned over thee magnified be the Name of the mighty God this Day hath overtook some thousands of thine Inhabitants through which they have seen that grievous dark Night of Apostacy in which they wandered from Mountain unto Hill of lifeless Professions seeking the living among the dead and Food for their immortall Souls in desolate Places but found it not until the glorious Lord God of eternal Might caused his Day which is Light to dawn through which they have seen the Displeasure of the Lord of Hosts against Sin and Iniquity and all out-side Professions of Christianity which are void and remote from the Natue thereof But O England England instead of prizing this unutterable Loving-Kindness of the Lord in visiting thine Inhabitants with his Day-springing from on high Multitudes both Professors and prophane did reject withstand and oppose the very first Breakin gs forth and Dawnings of this Day of Love and wickedly and despightfully treated the Lord's Ambassadours that were sent to publish and proclaim the Glad-tidings of Life and Salvation and both Rulers Priests and People withstood as much as in them lay the Lord in his Spiritual Appearance and put Briars and Thorns as some did in Ages by-past in Battel against the Lord but after he had given them a Day of tender Visitation stretching out his Hand all the Day long which was rejected the Almighty God kindled a Fire in his Wrath and his Displeasure waxed hot against them and he caused his Fire to go through their Briars and Thorns and consumed them in which Day the mighty fell from their Seats into great Contempt and the abasing-Hand of the Lord signally appeared in the Power of its working through whose Overthrow and abasing he exalted his Truth over their Power and renowned it over their Opposition and hath caused it to prosper and his Day to dawn and appear more and more through which Light and Understanding have so appeared and increased that Thousands have a Discovery what the righteous God requireth of them And now O Inhabitants of England after your settlement in this Capacity you are now in how did the Lord strive with you ye Rulers and People requiring you to do justly love Mercy bring forth Justice and Judgment Truth and Righteousness ease the oppressed judge the Cause of the innocent and in all things bow before the most high who changed Time and Seasons before your Eyes pulling down and setting up which was not accomplished by any Man or Mens Might Sword or Spear that no Men might have whereof to glory but dread before his Greatness Almightiness Wisdom and Justice But O ye Rulers Priests and People how soon were ye turned aside by the Spirit of Error from taking notice of the Goings of the Almighty or having Regard to the Operation of his Hand but Joyned Hand in Hand to do wickedly to oppose gainsay and resist the Counsel of the Lord which abundantly was declared unto you but ye rejected it and with Greediness made Haste to work Evil and commit Unrighteousness and to many great Abominations added this namely cruelly in many Places to persecute and imprison an innocent People that feared the Lord dreading and trembling before him having a Regard to the Operation of his overturning Hand and Power and those your great Evils greatly displeased the Just God yet in tender Love he arose early and sent unto you many Warnings you Rulers Priests People had before those dreadful signal Judgments viz. Pestilence and Fire which came on Thousands as an armed Man and as Travail on a Woman wasting and destroying dreadfully the People Habitations and Treasures in which Day the God of Mercy and inexpressible Compassions bowed down his Ear to your Sighings and had a Regard to your Cryes which were many and great whilst those dreadful Stroaks were upon you and he was entreated and in his Mercy stayed the Sword in the Hand of the destroying Angel which was and is seen drawn over thee O City of London and Inhabitants of England And the Lord God Almighty answered the ardent Cryes of his Prophets and People which were in Supplication unto him to give you O Inhabitants a Day of Tryal in Mercy to see whether you would amend and turn from the Evil of your Doings and in the Sence of his Judgments and Mercies be humbled through all your Families in the Dust before him And in his Grace and unspeakable Mercies he hath given you a Time and Season ye Rulers Priests and People and a small Remnant hath taken notice of the Work of the Hand of the Almighty and bowed before him in the Sence of his Judgments and Mercies and have turned from the Evil of their Doings unto the Lord and by them the blessed End of the Lord is answered but these are but a little Remnant to the many Thousands of thy Inhabitants For thy Multitudes O England in thy Cities Towns and Villages Rulers Priests and People have not had a true Regard neither to the Judgments nor Mercies of the Lord but have proceeded from great Evils to worse rushing into Uncleanness Debauchery and all Iniquity as the Horse into Battel and drinking it up as the Ox drinks Water And now O Inhabitants of England lift up your Eyes be awakened into a Sence how in this Day of the Long-Suffering of the Lord and Respite from dreadful consuming Judgments ye have declared your Sins like if not far exceeding Sodom and Gomorrah The Lord Almighty is greatly offended with you and his Spirit that hath strove with you long is exceedingly grieved the Cryes of your Transgressions are come before him and he is comedown and hath vewed thy Cities Towns and Villages O England and behold they are before
