A WARNING TO LONDON In Particular Wherein the WICKEDNESS thereof is Reproved and the people put in mind of some of the Sore Distresses and Great Calamities that GOD already hath brought upon that formerly Florishing and Happy CITY Also the future Distress and Calamities hinted at which God will bring upon the Inhabitants thereof that come not in their Day to cease to do Evil and by timely Repentance turn to the Lord while he calls and his Spirit yet strives with them Or those Eighteen upon whom the Tower of Siloam fell and slew them think ye that they were Sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem I tell you Nay But except ye Repent ye shall all likewise Perish Luke 13.4 5. Printed in the Year 1679. A WARNING TO LONDON In Particular O You Inhabitants of LONDON will you sleep on in the Sleep of Death Will nothing truly awaken you to Life and Righteousness Will not you call to mind but strive to put far from you the Hand that hath often been lifted up and stretched forth against you in the Fury of the Lord God against your Pride and that stream of Wickedness which hath abounded and come as a Flood in the midst of you and your Streets are full of O! the Vanity and Folly which people manifest as they walk the Streets O what Pride and Vain glory Drunkenness Swearing Lying and Debauchery in Words and Practices are many of thy Inhabitants found in And for the Iniquity of thy Covetousness Deceiving Cheating and Defrauds that many of you stand guilty of before the Lord it s all loathed and abhorred of him who is of purer Eyes than to behold those things as justifiable in you or to approve of in any City or Town whatsoever but they are all for Condemnation and Judgment of the Great and Dreadful Day of God's Vengeance that is come and coming upon them that are found wicked ungodly Many of you both Men and Women Young and Old your Lives and Conversations declare you to be such whatever your Tongues have said or say to the contrary against such things in words God will bring upon you the Fruit of your own Wayes and Works which hath been and is Evil in his sight Though ye are not willing to see or acknowledge them or sensibly have it told you yet what hath been declared and sounded in your Ears by the Servants of the Lord from the Mouth of the Lord of his Judgments Calamity and Ruin that should come upon you People of LONDON if you repent not will more and more surely be fulfilled and come upon you all that Repent not in time of your Wicked Works Ways and Inventions wherewith you have greatly provoked the Lord and brought sore Distresses Wasting Misery and Plagues upon you and I know God hath pleaded with you in his Wrath and will yet more and more punish and afflict you because you have not hearkned to the Voice of his good Spirit which he hath poured forth upon all Flesh and given to instruct you which you have rebelled against both Professors and Prophane you have vexed his holy Spirit and caused God to turn your Enemy and fight against you that was your Friend and formerly multiplyed his Favours and Mercies upon you how have ye rebelled against him and stopped your Ears and hardned your Hearts as an Adamant against his Counsel and yet have expected the Lord should hearken to your Cry and save you out of your Trouble and Distress but he will give you up to the will of them that hate you and will despightfully use you if ye Repent not So while ye have time own the Day of God's Visitation that yet he gives you that quite have not sinned it out and remember God hath given you a large time to repent and turn to him in and although he hath called often and knocked at the Doors of your Hearts how have ye refused his Call and shut the Doors of your Hearts against him and would not have Christ Jesus to rule in your Hearts whose Right it is nor would you be subject to his pure heavenly Government of his Kingdom which he doth set up and whereby he rules in Righteousness in the Hearts of his Chosen People at this day magnified be his Name and Kingdom which stands in Righteousness forever and evermore where you that are like a Cage of unclean Birds cannot come nor enter into that estate Therefore in the Name of the Lord God of Heaven and Earth I warn you all with all speed to hearken to the Call of the Lord who desires not your death nor your great Cities Destruction as the Devil and his Agents do but the Lord desires that all men may be saved and therefore gives all men a Day and Time to Repent and be saved in through Faith in Christ Jesus his only begotten Son who came to seek and save them that were lost even the lost Sheep of the House of Israel to find them out and gather them into his own Fold to feed them in fresh and green Pastures where he causeth his Beloved to rest in the times of greatest Storms Perils and Troubles in this World Such are not left Comfortless in their Straits Distresses or Tryals which they may meet with in the World for their Lord and Master's sake who hath saved them from their Sins they feel in them even Christ Jesus in whom is all the Saints Hope and Trust or else we were of all men most Miserable who have been hated of all men for the Name of Christ in which we have believed know and trust in O People this Name you have talked of and professed but it you have not known nor could ever trust in you that have not known it nor have believed in it are all Strangers to the great Work of God and what it is to believe in his Son whom he hath given and sent in Love to the World that they might believe in him and not perish but enjoy everlasting Life rest and Peace in him the Saviour Christ Jesus And let not the worst of you say That he would not pity love nor save you or that he can save you if he will but question whether he did ever intend Salvation for you for such dark Scruples and Questionings of the WILL of GOD and the END of CHRIST's Coming into the World greatly harm you all that give way to them and either run them into a State high and conceited presuming upon the Grace and Favour of God to save and justifie them notwithstanding their Ungodliness or else dispairing of any Love of God in Christ Jesus for them in order to their Salvation one sort of whom goes on sinning without the least Fear of offending God the other doubting they were never ordained to Life nor to do any thing that will please him Now in either of these Paths is great Danger and both lead to the Chambers of the Imaginary and Death for neither is
