AN ALLARM TO The Inhabitants of the Earth That they all may be awakned and shake off their poluted garments and meet the Lord with speedy repentance before his wrath break out against them and none be able to quench it And here is a true declaration of the wrath and indignation of God which shall certainly fall upon the Priests and all that joyn with them And here is a warning to all Rulers Magistrates and men in Authority that they all do that which is just and right and that they all take heed how they joyn in persecution with the Priests and Dragon against the Lambs of Christ lest they perish together Also a salutation to the children of Light who are turned to the Lord especially to them in Dorcet shire By T.W. A Wake awake O inhabitants of the earth high and low rich and poor noble and ignoble and prepare to meet the Lord your maker by speedy repentance and cast off all those filthy garments wherewith you have long been covered even with the robes of darkness Cains robes and Ishmaels robes and Hammons clothing have your hearts been covered with for all you Priests Rulers and people of all degrees that live in envy and wrath and cruelty and oppression you in whom these things abound you live in Cains nature and with his robes you are covered and even as he was a fugitive driven from God so are you fugitives and alienated from the pure innocent life of God and all you that live in scoffing and scorning and in light-mindedness and in whom vanity and folly is found you are of Ishmaels stock and in his nature you are standing and in his race you are swiftly running and your end will be destruction woe and misery except you speedily repent and turn to the Lord and forsake the evil of your doings for your sins have ascended upon high and the just is grieved with your wickedness O how scorning tearing and reviling and wickedness abounds in all cities towns and streets in England it is even grievous to behold and the people both old and young delight in vanity and their tongues talk of folly and their lips and mouth utters forth perverse and foolish things and their mindes are grievously corrupted through wicked devises and their hearts are gone a whoring from the pure fear of the Lord after evil inventions O how pride and hautiness and high mindedness abounds and superabounds through all parts of the Nation in all cities and towns steeplehouses and through all parts of the Nation in all cities and towns steeplehouses and markers it is even woful to behold yea even as Lots righteous so I was grieved with the Sodomites wicked conversation even so is the souls of the children of the Lord grieved at this day to see and behold the wicked conversation of the people who profess themselves to be Christians but walk quite contrary to the life of a Christian for they that are Christians they have received the spirit of Christ and by it they are led and guided and through the effectual working of the same spirit in them they are become new creatures But with the Priests and they that are under their discipline and such as own the hirelings to be their Ministers it is not so for among them the old sin of Sodom is found yea all manner of uncleanness is found among the Priests Congregations in which they pray and sing yea all people that are not bewitched and blinded with their sorceries may see the wickedness of the Priests for their fruits do demonstrate what spirit they are of and their covetous practises and their casting into prisons and suing at the law such as cannot put into their mouthes doth plainly manifest that they are not of God nor sent by him neither is the people come to the knowledge of the truth by hearing them and therefore let all who have desires after God and his truth turn away from them and not partake with them in their sins lest you pertake with them in their plagues for certainly they have a terrible cup to drink yea the cup of the sore vengeance and fiery indignation of the Almighty God of heaven and earth is prepared for them to drink and drink it you must priests as sure as God is true yea the rod of God you shall feel assuredly for by you have the souls of many been starved and their blood will the Lord God require at your hands and your portion shall be in the lake that burnes for ever and ever and your sorrowes shall greatly increase and of your pain there shall be no end and this shall surely come upon you as surely as ever you were born into the world except you repent and humble your selves before the Lord God of heaven and earth whose name is greatly dishonoured by you both Priests and people that take the name of the Lord into your mouthes and live in wickedness and in unrighteousness in pride and vanity and in covetousness envie wrath and bitterness fraud and deceit and all manner of wickedness yea what sin was there in Sodom but that there is the like in the Priests and their hearers they are the spiritual Sodom and Egypt in whom the Lord Jesus is crucified a fresh and put to open shame ye the pare witness of God in them they trample upon and when it ariseth at any time to judge or to condemne them for any of their wickedness they kick against it and call it a temptation and so put light for darkness and darkness for light and bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter but now is the pure day dawned unto many and the true light shines glory be to the Lord for ever and with it you are seen Priests and comprehended from whence you sprung and what stock you are of and you and your father the Pope must go down into the pit from whence you did arise for I bear forth my testimony before all people that the hand of the Lord is against you and my testimony is true and shall stand for ever and all your prayers you offer up from your corrupted hearts are an abomination unto the Lord and all your singing in your steeplehouses and assemblies is an odious thing unto the Lord it is even like the yelling of Draggons in the desert and the Lords soul is burthened with it and he is now arisen and arising to take vengeance upon his adversaries that oppress his seed and he will power forth his wrath and indignation upon all them that will not have his son Christ the light of the world to reign over them but do still go on in the frowardness of their wayes surely the Lord will be avenged on such a people as this And therefore all people high and low rich and poor men of all degrees return unto the Lord with speedy repentance lest he suddenly break forth upon you in his wrath and fiery indignation and none be able to quench it
