give you your reward who is a Just God and a Saviour and wo from the Lord God be unto all the Magistrates and Rulers of this City who doth not Rule yet in Righteousness and wo from the Lord be unto all Masters and Mistresses that doth inhabit this place before mentioned who doth not order their Families in the fear of God nor are not in the fear nor power themselves who one day shall know another Master who will give you a just reward according as your works shall be who is Gods Righteousness and to whom all power in Heaven and Earth is given and it is he alone that will Judge this bloudy City with all the Families and Kindreds of the whole Earth and they shall not escape his Righteous Judgements although thou maist cry for the Rocks and the Mountains to cover thee and thy Religion to hide thee from the wrath of God but it cannot be for his eye whom we serve is over the whole world and his Arm of Power is stretched over thee with a sword which is fourbished in his hand which will cut down and utterly destroy thy Priests in thee who divineth for money and preacheth for filthy lucre and love give ye which feedeth of the fat and cloatheth with the wool and makes Merchandize of Souls with fair words Gods vengeance wo and wrath is their portion and they shall fall by the sword of the living God thy Judges and Rulers shall be slain in the day that the Lord visiteth thee in the fierceness of his wrath for his Soul is burthened with thee and his Spirit is grieved every moment of time with thy filthy conversation therefore repent for the day is coming and thy time of torment and misery hasteneth apace thy condemnation slumbereth not thou hast forgotten good dayes without number and thou art yet in the land of forgetfulness thy ●imes testifieth against thee and thy iniquities is gone over thy head and thy transgressions is without number even as the stars in the firmament and thy ungodliness before the Lord is for multitude as the sands of the Sea shore thou ha●t corrupted thy way before the Lord and art fallen short of the glory of the Lord therefore return to the measure of Gods Spirit that thou mai●t know amendment of life and an inheritance in another City before thou art dispossessed of this City and peace and re●t purity and joy may possess thy house and the New Heaven and the New Earth thou maist witness and a feeding upon the bread of Life that maketh truly wise and a drinking of the water of life which truly satisfieth the immortal Soul this must thou witness if ever thou wilt enjoy the pure habitation of God or sit down upon his holy Hill which is beautiful indeed before thou returns to the d●●t from whence thou camest there is the center of the earthly the center of the heavenly is unmortal and dwelleth in immortality and as thou serve●t and obeyest and joineth issue with this it will lead thee up to God the Saviour and Redeemer of thy Soul where the earthly center and the first birth and nature cannot enter there is a great gulf and separation between the two seeds and the two natures the one delighteth to ser●e the Lord and it is its nature to work Righteousness and Holiness for ever and it cannot join with the cursed the other is continually prone to do wickedness and it leadeth in drunkenness lying swearing and d●ssembling cheating and cozening and it cannot do good neither shall it have a habitation with Abels nature who sacrificed upon Gods Altar a Sacrifice of praise and the Lord had regard unto to it So if thou joyneth with Hagars Seed the Bond-woman thou shalt not inherit the durable possession therefore as thou lovest the good of thy soul and thy immortal life return to that which yet condemns thee which is the light of Christ and it is pure and immortal and know it to justifie thee for the Spirit of the pure God will not alwayes strive with thee no more then it d●d with the Old World O thou City of London remember how the Lord overtook the old world in their evil deeds he came upon them as a thief in the night when they little thought of him he took them eating and drinking Marrying and giving in marriage and he repented that ever he made man upon the Earth and he overtu●ned them in his fiery wrath and in his fiery indignation he spared not Jerusalem wherein his Temple was built and dost thou think that the Lord will spare thee I am afraid the Lord will overturn thee in flames of fire as he did them in their gain-sayings Therefore amend thy life while it is to day and prize the short moment of time which thou hast yet to spend least God cast thee into Hell which is prepared for the wicked and abominable And this is my councel unto thee whether thou wilt receive it yea or nay It is good and the same which the Apostles gave to the ungodly in that day and to the Scribes and Pharisees who were learned men whose zeal did far exceed thine in this thy day and this is it that thou return to the Spirit of God which is in thee and be guided by it and led with it into righteousness meekness and long-suffering and walk in the light whilst you have the light for the night will come wherein no man can work but in this glorious day the Son worketh and the Father worketh therefore let him not work in vain but let the Spirit of the pure God work down and lead out of all that 's contrary to God that so life over death may reign in thee O! that thou wert like the Noble Bereans that searched the Scripture in their day and if thou wouldst do so with the same Spirit that gave them forth then wouldst thou see clearly that we are in the way of God and live the life of the Scriptures and then wouldst thou joyn issue with us and leave thy dumb idle Shepherds which indeed are greedy dumb dogs and can never have enough and come to Christ whom God hath given for a Leader and a Commander to his people and to be Salvation to the ends of the earth who is the Physitian and the Bishop of the soul who leadeth into the Fold immortal where he feedeth his Flock at noon-day in the heat of persecution and in the day of fiery tryals he is a sure hiding place his Name is a strong Tower the righteous fly thereinto and are saved but as for the wicked they must inherit the Lake that burn for ever for that 's their habitation which is never-dying torments which God hath prepared since the Foundation of the earth for them E.

durable neither will thy Faith remain it is as the raging Sea whose waves are up and down and thou art tossed in thy mind as a Ship upon the Sea driven with a mighty wind thy hope is in man and it faileth thy joy is dying and will die away O! therefore put thy trust in the living God and not in man whose breath is in his nostrils that thou mayest be saved from the day of wrath which will suddenly come upon the families of the earth All Nations shall partake of his wrath and all Tongues of his fury for all flesh hath corrupted its way before the Lord all flesh hath sinned and come short of the glory of God so all flesh must know the wrath of God executed upon the wicked for the Lord hath determined a Consumption to come upon the whole earth therefore O earth earth hear the Word of the Lord and be thou separated from your uncleanness and live before the Lord that all the dayes of thy appointed time thou mayest wait till the change comes for nothing but life will stand before the Lord who is immortal And know this of a truth that this is written in pure love to thy soul O London the righteous is oppressed in thee and the innocent cryeth in thy streets by reason of oppression O! feed the hungry and cloath the naked and hide not thy self from thy own flesh for you are all made of one blood and one mould upon the face of the whole earth He that saith he loves God and doth not feed the hungry and cloath the naked and judge the cause of the poor and needy he is a lyar and doth not the truth And know this ye Judges and Rulers and Magistrates that there is a Judge above you which will call you to an account and will judge you out of the book of Conscience and give you a full reward and you shall all know in the day when the Lord rips off all coverings and takes peace from the earth that there is a Deliverer in Sion which will deliver his righteous seed and none shall hinder and although we are despised in thee and hated by thee yet the Lord who is the everlasting Councellor and Prince of Peace he is our Redeemer who is the portion of our cup and the lot of our inheritance we have none in heaven but him nor upon earth that can deliver but he he wil plead our cause with them that hate us and our innocency shall appear as the Sun in her ful strength we shall be as a morning without clouds when the Lord shall arise and take the honor to himself and exalt his Kingdome above the heavens and his Dominion above the stars then shall Jerusalem be the praise of the whole earth and they shall rejoyce in her who now mourneth and say one to another Come let us stand upon Mount Sion and sit down upon the holyhill for our God and his Christ reigneth over all the whole earth O! this is a blessed estate which the ●ighteous doth inherit but as for the wicked they are as stubble throughly dried and the Word of the Lord is as a fire and they must be burned up and be shut without the gates of the City where the Lamb treads the Wine-press of Gods wrath So in the fear of the Lord repent and amend thy life least God sweep thee away into the pit of utter destruction out of which there is no redemption Oh London the Lord God of Heaven and of Earth he is burdened with thy vain Religion who maketh a profession of God and of Christ and yet liveth in lust and vanity pride and vain-glory in swearing and curfing and yet is covered with a covering which the Lord will take away O how doth gluttony abound in thee rioting and sporting in the day time thou knowst not how almost to go along the streets thou art so proud and haughty and the poor in thee are ready to famish for whose estate and condition my heart is pained within me old and young blind and lame lieth in thy streets and at thy Masse-houses doors crying for bread who are almost naked for want of cloathing and fainting for want of bread and yet thou canst passe by them in thy gaudy apparrel and our-stretched neck with thy face decked with black spots which are the marks of the Whore the Beast and the False Prophet which is not the attire of Sarah Abrahams wife Thou knowest not what to eat nor what to drink nor wherewith to be cloathed thy mind is so vain and thy Religion is so aiery and if any of these that are blind or lame or destitute of a being asketh of thee a penny or farthing thou sayest thou hast it not for them O! remember the Lord will call thee to an account and truly a sad day it will be for thee when he shall take thy peace away who hath lavishly spent Gods Creation upon thy lusts and hath not distributed thy morsel to the poor and to the needy the light of Christ in thy Conscience condemns thee for thy not so doing and from that thou canst not fly that shall be thy condemnation for ever if thou hatest it and thy salvation for ever if thou lovest it O! tremble and quake before the Lord ye sons of Sodom and Daughters of Gomorrah who doth inhabit this mortal City which doth-corrupt and will die away your glory the Lord will bring to nothing therefore keep to the light which condemns you that an entrance into the immortal Kingdome you may find Woe be unto all thy Usurers who hoardeth up the unrighteous mammon and doth not lend to the poor and distressed and saith they have it not for them the rust of their money in the Day of Judgement shall rise up against them and Gods swift Witness in their own hearts shall condemn them which lives for ever therefore all ye Usurers Soothsayers and Star-gazers that inhabiteth this place and elsewhere repent for Gods plagues and Judgements is to be executed upon you and upon all that lendeth an ear unto you you Star-gazers and Astrologers who can discern the face of the Sky but doth not know the signs of the coming of the Son of Man whose glorious appearance will discover your dark works that you act in the dark night and tho night shall passe away and you shall know a day of Judgement and see him whom you have pierced of whom the Sun Moon and Stars bears testimony and keepeth their station with God therefore its good for you to know the Rod of God to instruct you in his path and to lead you to his Kingdome and this is the desire of my soul that you may all inhabit peace and rest with the King of Heaven and Earth So know that your day of visitation is now the Lord doth hold forth unto you mercy and peace therefore imbrace it whilst it is tendred unto you least you be shut out and
