THE STRANGE AND WONDERFUL PREDICTIONS OF Mr. CHRISTOPHER LOVE Minister of the Gospel at Laurence Jury London WHO WAS BEHEADED ON TOWER-HILL IN THE TIME OF Oliver Cromwell's Government of England GIVING AN ACCOUNT OF BABYLON'S FALL And in that Glorious Event A GENERAL REFORMATION OVER ALL THE WORLD With a most Extraordinary PROPHECY OF THE LATE REVOLUTION IN FRANCE AND THE Downfall of the Antichristian Kingdom In that Country BY M. PETER JURIEU ALSO NIXON's CHESHIRE PROPHECY LONDON PRINTED FOR THE BOOKSELLERS TO THE PUBLIC THE following Prophecies some of which have been accomplished in our own time must appear interesting and as such we publish them those of Mr. LOVE promise great events which must happen before the present generation passes away and as to Monsieur JURIEU's predictions relative to the French Revolution they point out so clearly part of what has already come to pass in France that it may be reasonably presumed the rest will be verified in due time PREDICTIONS OF Mr. CHRISTOPHER LOVE A FEW nights after he was sentenced to be b●●eaded on Tower-hill which was on the 22d day of August 1651 ten days before his appointed time by the sentence he received at the bar being one night visited by two of his intimate acquaintances or bosom friends as he himself called them they began to complain of the cruelty of the times and the malice and usage of time-serving brethren to which Mr. Love answered And think you this is an evil time No no this is the very time when grace and true god●iness can be distinguished f●om hypocrisy many have followed Christ hitherto for the loaves and are now turned back for the roughness of the way and the sore trial and tribulation which others met with who are gone be●ore them There are many in London at this very day who think to go to heaven in their gilded coaches and have denied Christ's cause before men against whom I now witness and Christ in his never failing word has promised to deny all such before his father and the holy angels This is the time to discern be●ween him that s●rveth God and him that serveth him not They formerly were my familiar acq●ain●ance in fellowship and sweet converse I sent this day to have a few words with them here in prison but they would not come for their countenance is fallen their consciences wounded they cannot look me in the face because I knew of their resolution and was a witness to their perjuration But ah how will they look the blessed Jesus in the face in the morning of the resurrection what answer or excuse will they have for what they have done O foolish people who think to escape the cross nay you must all suffer persecution who follow the Lamb we must be hated of all nations for Christ's sake we must come thro' great tribulation thro' the fiery furnace of affl●ction before we can enter the land of joy and felicity Know ye not that the souls that were slain for the testimony of Jesus are placed under the altar Happy happy are those men at this day and ever shall be happy who suffer for Christ's sake in a right and charitable way thro' love to his cause and honesty of heart not thro' pride and hypocrisy without the root of the matter to have it said they died 〈◊〉 these are they who will miss their mark and those who denied the call and looked back shall never have the honour to find it I am now pointed out by many to be in a destitute and forlorn condition but I would not exchange my state no not for all the glory that 's on the earth I find my R●deemer's love stronger in my bonds than ever I did in the days of my liberty therefore I hold living here as death itself I am as full of love and joy in the Holy Spirit as ever bo●●le was fi●led with new wine I am ready to cry out The spirit of the Lord is upon me I will not take upon me to prophecy neve●theless the spirit of the Lord causeth me to utter This usurped authority of Cromwell shall shortly be at an end England shall be blessed with meek Kings and mild governments powerful preachers and dull hearers good sermons to them will be as music to a sleepy man they shall hear but not understand nor lay the word 〈◊〉 the heart to practise it in their lives to walk by it O England thou shalt wax old in wickedness thy sins abound like those of Sodom thy voluptuousness shall cry aloud for vengeance the Lord shall threaten and chastise thee yet in mercy and love will he look upon those that fear him and call upon his name he will spare of his anger when the wicked shall be sifted from amongst you as the chaff is sifted from amongst the wheat for out of thee O England shall a bright star arise whose light and voice shall make the heathen to quake and knock under with submission to the gospel of Jesus he shall be as a sound of thunder in the ears of the wicked and as a ●anthorn to the Jews to lead them to the knowledge of Jesus the only son of God and true Messiah whom they so long mistrusted for the short work spoken of by the apostle which the Lord is to make upon the earth in the latter age of the world cannot be far off Observe my dear friend while you live my calculation of the dates in the book of the Revelation and in Daniel which the Spirit of the Lord led me into for the Lord will reveal it to some of his own ere that time come for the nearer the time is the seals shall be taken away and more and more shall be revealed to God's people for the Lord doth nothing without he reveal it by his Spirit to his servants the prophets He destroyed not the old world without the knowledge of Noah He did not overthrow Sodom and Gomorrah without the knowledge of Abraham I do not mean now that any new prophet shall arise but the Lord by his Spirit shall cause knowledge to abound among his people whereby the old prophecies shall be clearly and perfectly understood And I die in that thought and really believe that my calculations are right on the Revelation by St. John and the prophecy which St. Jerome copied off and translated out of the Hebrew language as it is written on Seth's pillar in Damascus which pillar is said to have stood since before the flood and was built by Seth Adam's son and written by Enoch the prophet as likewise the holy precepts whereby the patriarch walked before the law was given to Moses which were also engraven on the said pillar whereof many Jews have copies in their own language written on parchment and engraven on brass and copper but the alteration of the date makes them to stagger at it not knowing that the dates were to be altered by the birth of Christ.
