VVO to thee City of Oxford thy wickedness surmounteth the wickedness of Sodome therefore repent whilst thou hast time least I consume thee with fire as I have done it therefore harden not your hearts least I consume you and my wrath burn like fire and I consume you in my fierce anger and so be brought to nought for thou hast joyned hands with thy sister Jerusalem therefore will I uncover thy nakedness and thy shame will I unfold that the beast in thee may be discovered that sitteth on many waters for thou art full of wickedness thy hands are full of deceit the well-favoured harlot lodgeth in thee the mother of witchcraft and now I am raising my swift witness to confound her ways I am the light of the world and do enlighten every one that cometh into the world saith Christ Jesus I am the sure foundation and he that buildeth upon me shall have eternal life I have mourned for you as one mourneth for her first born and you would not come unto me that you might live I have knocked and called and none would hear therefore will I thunder out my Judgments upon this wicked generation which hath not the fear of God therefore the wicked shall see it and tremble horror and terror and pain shall take hold upon them as upon a woman in travel and many shall cry but there shall be none to deliver them therefore repent whilst I give you a day least you become as fruitless trees which cumbers the ground for every plant that my heavenly Father hath not planted will be pluckt up by the roots and therefore repent whilst I give you a day for I gave Iesabel a day and I gave Jerusalem a day but they would not therefore mind what I shall say and where I do speak be still and low and wait in silence and then you shall hear a voice saying this is the way walk in it and if any have any desire to walk in this way I will be with them and guide them and there shall you find sweet paths and plentious redemption Therefore for your souls health for it was for the good of your souls that I took upon me the seed of Abraham and became the likeness of sinful flesh were it not that I loved the world t●erefore I would not have you go astray as sheep without a shepheard scattered up and down upon every Mountain and Valley and carried away with every winde of doctrine but now am I a raising up my own seed which hath been so long under Pharaoh the task-master Oxford thou task-master Pharaoh thou oppresser which opresseth the Just seed within thee in setting up thy own righteousness and wisdom which shall grow as ragged as an old garment that moths hath eat and I will make thee know that my righteousness endureth from generation to generation and so for ever And now let hills be removed and mountains be dashed to pieces and the strong hold be levelled for a day there is coming that will make the keepers of the house tremble woful and terrible will that day be to the wicked whilst the strong-man keeps the house all is at peace but when a stronger than he cometh he then must be turned out I came not to bring peace but war saith Christ Jesus and now turn in your eys from beholding vanity for that eye looketh from Christ and that nature is accursed from God for Christ Jesus is pure and can behold no vain thing Esau is accursed from God Jacob have I loved and Esau have I hated for out of Abraham shall my name be called Death reigneth over all men till they be regenerate and born again and they that be born again of God sin not but their sins are forgiven them therfore repent that your sins may be forgiven you also the master hath given you a tallent to see how you will improve it that you may be found faithful Stewards that when the Lord shall call for that which he hath given you that when the Lord comes He may say come yee good and faithful Stewards enter into your Masters joy but for the wicked go ye cursed and ye that forget God shall be cast into hell Praises praises to the Lord that he is raysing up his own Saints to Judg the earth and many now do witness their Judgments true but to the wicked Judgments are terrible and none but them cometh to see the fresh springs of eternal life but they that live in the life of them that gave them forth and there they will come to see the filthiness of these two wicked Cities how they ly wallowing in their blood and their blood shall be required at their own hands for they that come forth of Oxford Cambridge they are such as Isaiah was sent to to cry woe against greedy dumb-dogs that never have enough and love greeting in the Market-places and long prayers in the Synagogues and the upper seats at feasts and be called of men Masters they are filthy bruit-beasts which maketh my people to err therefore the ground is cursed for your sakes thorns and thistles shall it bring forth for your sakes until you return to Adams first estate And now I have shown you the way that you should walk in take heed to the light that shineth in a dark place light shineth in darkness the darkness comprehendeth it not therefore repent that the darkness may be taken away and so become children of the light and not children of the night but children of the day for they that walk in the day stumble not because they have the light with them but they that walk in the night stumble because they are in darkness And now let the light search you for Christ Jesus is now searching Jerusalem with Candles and not one corner of it must go unsearched Beware of seducers that cometh in sheeps cloathing but inwardly are ravenous wolves for such Christ Jesus spoke of that should come in the latter days Oh Oxford thou art full of filth thy Priests are all corrupt as brass and iron is corrupt and cankered so is this City full of hainous sins thou art full of pride and covetousness thou art poluted in thy blood and joyns house to house and field to field until there is no place left for the poor God exalteth the poor in spirit but the rich he sendeth empty away it is the humble and lowly mind trembles at my Word that I teach and now see in you and search in you whether you are not in Cains ways murdering and killing the just in you and whiping and stocking them that the Lord hath sent to you therefore repent and do so no more take heed and do so no more least I render my plagues double on thy head and when the book of conscience is opened then shalt thou witness this to be true therefore remember that thou wast forewarned in thy life time therefore wait in silence till the day dawn
