their house till it had destroyed both them it I desire you yt are addicted to that sin beware for it is such a sin that you can make no excuse for it it brings you neither pleasure nor profit unlesse it be the wrath of God which he threatens against presūptuous sins it is such a sin in this Nation the Lord be mercifull to us that you shall scarce walk the stréets but you shal hear little Children ye scarce knows the right hand from the left yet they can learn to swear their parents scarce correct them for it The Lord may well visit the sins of the father upon ye Children when you suffer your Children to take his most sacred Name in vaine The last sin which I have to name for indéed 't is not for me to number nor to reckon all the severall sins of this Nation for I think we exceed Sodom Gomorrah in our wickednes only I have toucht these four sins as namely Pride Covetousnes Blasphemy Drunkennes which is the foure crying sins of this Nation my Alarum-Bell rings loud in the ears of all those that loves ye sin of Drunkennesse sée what ye Lord saith by the mouth of his Prophet Joel 1.5 Awake ye Drunkards and weep howle all ye drinkers of wine because of the new wine for it is out off from your mouth Read ye Chapter you shall find what the Lord did doe for abusing those creatures for in time of plenty they made a wast therefore ye Lord brought a Famine scarcity because of their Drunkennes Gluttony Again look in Habakkuk 2.15 16. Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink that puttest thy bottle to him makest him drunk also that thou maist look on his nakednesse The cup of the Lord right hand shal be turned unto thee shamefull spung shal be on thy glory Let us take héed we have the Lord be thanked plenty but by our riotousnes drunkennes it is just with God to bring a scarcity How many poor souls in this natiō would be glad of a draught of Béer to quench their thrist when many thousands take so much they are fain to disgorge it up again worst then beasts most shamefully abuse those creatures that God hath sent for the nourishment of man I desire you to beware of that sin for a man is not himself when he is in drink he is subject to all kind of wickednes How many dangerous desperate sins hath many men fallen into when they have bin in ye case and such great ones too that hath indangered both soule and body Now I have given you warning by my Alarum-Bell that you may prepare your salves by flying from sin and flying to the Lord by repētance which if we undoubtly do we néed not fear what man prognosticates for the Lord hath promised At what time soever a sinner doth repent him of his sins from the bottome of his heart he will blot out all his iniquities But we must not delay our repētance take our own time for we know not how soone the Lord will come but let us be like wise Virgins to be ready at all times to méet him that we may enter into glory with him for thus much assure your selves there is like to be great troubles throughout all Christendome for all nations are preparing for the destruction of one another Iust as ye Lord speaketh shal be in the latter dayes There shall be great Tribulations such as was not since the beginning of the world Mat. 24.21 For Nation shall rise against Nation and Kingdome against Kingdome and there shall be Earth-quakes in divers places and there shall be Famines and great troubles these are the beginnings of sorrow Mark 13.8 And now to conclude desiring you to look in Amos 5.14 16. Seeke good and not evill that you may live and so the Lord the God of Hosts shall be with you as he hath spoken Hate the evill and love the go●d and establish Judgements in the gate It may be the Lord of God of Hosts wil be gracious to ye remnant of Joseph For the Lord hath promised he will hide his people in the day of his wrath Then let us séek the Lord while he may be found before the evill day cōmeth for if we get under the protection of his Wings we néed not feer the day of Doome nor the day of Death neither Sword Pestilence nor Famine shal hurt us for the Lord will bring his people out of all their troubles So the last sound of this my Alarum-Bell concludes with the swéet harmony of Saint Paul in his Epistle to the Romans Chap. 8. vers. 38 39. Which I would desire all Christians in these sad times to arme thēselves with the same resolution and then assure your selves you shall bée more then Conquerors For I am perswaded saith S. Paul That neither death nor life nor Angells nor Principalities nor Powers nor things present nor things to come nor height nor depth nor any other Creature shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord FINIS
