and brought forth this tender plant that 's never to be forgotten but to be had in everlasting remembrance of all that hear the joyful sound and come to see the glory of the brightnesse of thy rising who shall Trumpet forth thy fame to the utmost parts of the Earth and talk of thy mighty power in the Congregation of the righteous O London London How hast thou been visited from on high by the hand of the Almighty in his faithful though despised Messengers that thou might be purged and made clean and healed Lo the multitude of thy polluted Inhabitants have dispised the day of Healing and of small things and the Children of Wisdom that have been wearied and as it were ready to faint from time to time under the weight of the multitude of thy pollutions and crying abominations and have truly bewailed and lamented thy estate but how have they been esteemed in thine Adulterous eyes as sounding Brass as signs and wonders the off scouring of the World or as the Wind thou hast not known whence they come neither whether they go O London Thy defiled Garments thy Heads thy Priests thy Pastors Professors and Prophane in thee thy Judgment Seats thy Courts thy Palaces with them that that handle the Law thy Idols Temples loe even thy streets in these latter dayes are stained with the blood of the Innocent O England England what hast thou done or brought forth how canst thou like an impudent Harlot or murtherer plead before the glorious Throne of the Lord God of Judgement and of the Lamb the Son of the highest and say not guilty or I am innocent O London Remember Jerusalem it s yet but a very little while thy day is passed over thy head some of thy Mourners have already seen and yet behold the Lillies covering the mountains the good watchmen of the City Zion where the Sabbaths which thou hast prophaned and polluted are forgotten waite for the gathering and healing of the remaining little ones that are defiled wounded and polluted even in thee O London Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles prepare War wake up the mighty men all the men of War let them come up beat your Plow shares into Swords and your Pruning-Hooks into Spears Let the Weak say I am strong Assemble your selves and come all ye Heathen assemble your selves-together round about thither cause thy mighty ones to come down O Lord let the Heathen be awaked and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat for there will I sit to Judge the Heathen round about put ye in the Sickle for the Harvest is ripe Come get ye down for the Press is full the Fat 's over flow for their wickedness is great See Joel the third O ye heads and polluted Inhabitants of London that call the Scripture your rule read and behold your State see Deut. 32. and when the Lord saw it he abhorred them because of the provoking of his Sons and of his Daughters and he said I will hide my face from them I will see what their end shall be for they are a very froward generation children in whom is no faith They have moved me to jealousie with that which is not God they provoked him to jealousie with strange gods they have provoked me to anger with their vanities and I will move them to jealousie with those which are not a people I will provoke them to anger with a foolish Nation for a fire is kindled in mine anger and shall burn unto the lowest hell and shall consume the earth with her increase and set on fire the foundations of the mountains I will heap mischiefs upon them I will spend mine arrows upon them they shall be burnt with hunger and devoured with burning heat and with bitter destruction Now forasmuch as it hath been the manner and antient custome of the Mayors Aldermen Governours Citizens and inhabitants of the City of London the day when their chief Governour is sworn to do justice at such seasons great shews and wicked dark vile inventions is acted and brought forth in and through the open streets and River of the City because of which exceeding great multitudes of people assemble and gather together from divers parts in the vanitie of their vaine minds which are led captive to many and divers hurtful lusts that war against their souls at such seasons by which the Creatures are wasted consumed devoured and destroyed without the fear and wisdom of God by high and low rich and poor young and old bond and free for which end they were not created and the everlasting God hereby is greatly provoked and highly dishonoured though Thomas Atkin attribute it to the honour and respect of the Magistrates But Moses and Joshua the good Magistrates was not found walking in these or such like wayes and the persons of the Creatures hurt and sometime in great jeopardy to the loss of life by land and water and from time to time the Lord God and his spirit hath been grieved oppressed and vexed with these vain filthy abhominations of the heathen and Priests Rulers and people have been and are in a high degree guilty of all the hurt and waste of the Creation so much to the provoking and dishonour of the Almighty Lord and everlasting God of Truth yea and my spirit within me hath been often pressed down and grieved because of the weight of the crying abhominations of Priests Rulers and people that are called Christians but are not profirted at all by them the hired Priests that teach for filthy lucre their own way their gain from their Quarters like greedy dogs that can never have enough and are so plentifully bringing forth the fruits and works of darknesse walking in the manners of the Gentiles and way of the Heathen and pleading for their dumb Idols wherefore I was not onely moved to write to the two Mayors namely John Ireten and Thomas Allen to lay before them and to stop them and their subjects of their folly and wicked vanity but they would not receive warning as may appear by a paper afterwards published and Tituled A certain Warning from a naked Heart But the twenty ninth of the eighth moneth on which their Heathenish Ancient Idolatrous customs and dark inventions was so highly set up and exalted and carried th●●ugh the open streets at which many thousands of people gazed before which time I spake a few words of Truth and sobernesse which the Lord put into my heart to some of the Aldermen as the horses and their Riders passed in at the Mayors gate saying The Lord God will stain the pride and glory of all flesh the Lord God will stain the pride of all glory as in the dayes of old the Lord will smite the great men of the earth with astonishment of heart who forget Justice and Judgement and the Lord God hath a controversie with all that forget the Lord and his work The Lord will be avenged on the great men of the earth
