ONE Warning more UNTO ENGLAND Before she give up the Ghost and be Buried in the Pit of Darkness To awaken the Inhabitants thereof out of their deep Sleep to see themselves what Misery is coming upon them through their Degeneration and horrible Ingratitude that the People therein may be left without excuse in the day of the Lord By him that pities thee in this languishing state F. H. London Printed for Thomas Simmons at the sign of the Bull and Mouth near Aldersgate 1660. OH England Is thy dry Land all become Sea Is not thy Mountains from whence thou hast look'd for help cast all into the Waters and floats up and down and is driven up and down and carried about with every Tempest insomuch that hardly any dry Land appears anywhere in thee but all like raging Waves and like boisterous Floods which hath no bounds but over-flows all the Banks which fills all with slime and mire and dirt Oh Nation whither art thou posting and after what dost thou so hastily pursue Hast thou chosen Madness for thy Crown and Folly for thy Diadem Hast thou fixed thy eye upon the Land of Darkness that thou so hastily runs Art thou become benummed and altogether past feeling Hath not the Lord intended good unto thee but thou rejects it Did not the Lord break off the bonds from thy neck and take the burdens from off thy shoulders that thou might have been a Free People that thy People might have been a free People that thou might have served the Lord God in truth and Righteousness and might have been established by his Free Spirit that Righteousness might have run down the Land as a stream and Equity as a river that Violence might have been done away and the heavy Yoak removed that so the Nation might have rejoyced in Gods saving health which he was about to shower down as a mighty Rain that the Land might have been refreshed and that the People thereof might have rested under the Almighty shadow of the Lord that every one might have eat the fruit of his labours with joy and have been satisfied therewith and every Precept of man have been taken off the Conscience and that yoak which hath limitted the Lord would the Lord have broken that so his People might have rejoyced in him and in his saving health But Oh Nation how art thou betrayed the treacherous dealers hath dealt treacherously with thee and have robbed thee of thy Glory and of thy Crown and no art thou like to be Crowned with Infamy and Reproach and to be as a hissing-stock as a Proverb and a by-word to all the Nations who will rejoyce in thy Calamity and be glad at thy destruction and because the love and Mercy of God was manifest in thee more then to any Nation of late besides therefore the Nations were angry at thee but now seeing thy base ingratitude and unthankfulness for all the kindness of the Lord unto thee which thou hast wonderfully abused which hath been a cause which hath provoked the Lord against thee because thou hast chosen the way of death rather then life and chosen darkness rather then light and therefore art thou hurled and tossed in all this Sea of Confusion and what will the Nations say who are round about thee Is not this the Nation from whence light did shine forth that 's now filled with darkness Is not this the Nation which was strong and mighty that 's now become feeble Is not this the Nation the fame of whose Righteousness was spread far that 's now filled with Violence and Cruelty Is not this the Nation which made the Nations and Isles about it to tremble whose hands is become so weak that they cannot help themselves Is not this the Nation whose sound and fame for liberty as men in the Nation and as Christians without being imposed upon which the Lord was bringing to a perfect freedom who now are putting the yoak of Bondage upon the Inhabitants necks and laying heavie burdens upon the necks of the Righteous and are imposing things upon the Consciences of his People whom God would have set free Oh this causeth the Name of the Lord which hath appeared in thee to be dishonored and the noble acts which the Lord hath done in thee to be vilified Oh England what shall I compare thee unto thy state is sad Oh what might I do to make thee sensible thereof thou art as a Ship in the midst of the raging Sea whose Mast is lost whose Tacklings is broken and the Men all dead and nothing left but a bare Hull ready to be blown with every gust of Wind upon every Rock and art like wholly to be Split never more to be builded up It may truly be said of thee as it was once of Israel when they had revolted from the Lord God and followed after the imaginations of their own hearts the head is sick and the whole heart is faint and every member which should move in the body is become feeble and benummed thy breach is great who can heal thee or who can bind thee up What is there no Balm in England is there no Physitian there to heal the breaches and wounds of this People What not one wise man among all her Rulers are they all like wild Bulls in a Net fit to be taken and destroyed not one Interpreter amongst all her Prophets which can discover the Disease not one Physition that can apply a healing Medicine to these grievous Wounds What not one leaf of the Tree of life amongst you all by which the Nations are healed not a healing Spirit amongst ten thousands of England Oh sad and deplorable is thy state for all is out of order and it may truly be said of her Rulers of her Priests and her Prophets and of her People as it was said of Israel when they had forsaken the Lord and blindness happened to them through their unbelief A People laden with sin and iniquity they are all gone out of the way there 's not one that doth good no not one a seed of evil-doers a treacherous Generation a false-hearted people who eats up iniquity as men eate bread and drink it up as Oxen Water Oh Nation consider thou art upon thy languishing bed and thy eyes is almost closed and thy ears stoped and thy understanding besotted all thy Vitals is decaying the Characters and Symptoms of death is upon thee the form of thy Countinance is changed the flower of thy Beauty is passing away old Age and decrepedness is coming upon thee all thy Joynts are growing feeble what wilt thou do now in a day of Adversity Whether wilt thou go in the day of Calamity which is approaching the Grave is opened to receive thee and thy Enemies stands ready to bury thee in silence that thee and all thy Glory may be trampled upon and that thy memorial may die and rot and thy Renown be shut up in the pit of Oblivion the Fellers stands ready
