A WARNING FROM THE LORD GOD out of SION who is Mighty and Terrible Sounded forth unto the INHABITANTS Of the City of VVORCESTER And of the TOWNS and VILLAGES round about them And may serve to the Nation in general that they may hear and fear and repent and turn to the Lord with their whole hearts Lest the overflowing Scourge come and sweep them into the Pit from whence there will be no Deliverance By a Follower of the Lamb who makes War with the Sword of his Mouth known amongst men by the Name of EDW. BOVRNE Revel 9.20 21. And the rest of the men which were not killed with these Plagues repented not of the works of their own hands that they should not worship Devils and Idols of gold and silver and brasse and stone and wood which neither can see nor hear Neither repented they of their Murders nor of their Sorceries nor of their Fornications nor of their Thefts LONDON Printed for Robert Wilson at the sign of the Black Spread-Eagle and Windmil in Martins Le Grand 1660. The Preface READER UNto whom this shall come Before thou determinest of any thing mentioned in this Warning as to the casting of it by or rejecting of it first of all reade or hear it read and then as the Light in thy own Conscicnce which is Gods faithful and true VVitness doth Answer thereunto receive it and own it and so believe it and no otherwise that so thou mayest reap the benefit thereof for by taking Warning before it be too late thou wilt know thy foul delivered from the evil to come And you who worship but not the true God who is a Spirit and must be worshipped in Spirit and Truth if any of the Servants of the Lord should come into your Assemblies to declare his Mind and Will unto you or to speak to any of you as he shall direct them see that you intreat them well hear them with patience and as Gods Witnesse in you answereth to what they say own it and receive it and suffer none to injure or persecute them but let them have liberty to return from you in peace after they have cleared their Consciences unto you lest by doing otherwise you kindle the Wrath and Indignation of the Lord God against your own souls for what you do unto them he takes it as done unto himself and though we are poor yet we desire not your riches but our trust is in the Lord whose care is over us And though the world hate us and scorn and reproach and persecute us yet herein can we rejoyce knowing that it was the portion of those which feared the Lord in Generations before us And although we are accounted Fools by some yet so long as it is for the sake of Christ we can rejoyce therein knowing that the Apostles and Servants of the Lord were accounted so before us So then if for the sake of Christ we suffer as Fools would God ye suffered so too that you might partake of our joy and rejoycing which we have in the Lord. But what if they who are wise to do evil shall speak thus of us what need we regard it for this is wisdom to us and strength to us to fear the Lord and to keep his Commandments and the Day of the Lord doth and will declare that who doth otherwise are foolish and unwise for Wisdom is and will be justified of her Children I am a lover of your Immortal Souls EDW. BOVRNE A VVARNING To the Inhabitants of Worcester c. O That you would consider ye Inhabitants of the City of Worcester and ye Towns and Villages round about you the long-suffering of the Lord and his forbearance towards you who hath waited long to be gracious unto you O that you would yet repent and turn unto the Lord with your whole hearts even while it is called to day while the Visitation of God is continued to you-wards and put from you whatsoever is evil and contrary to the Light of Jesus and do that which is right and wel-pleasing unto the Lord as the Light of Christ in your own Consciences doth shew you that so it may go well with you for ever For know this that God is just and righteous and holy in all his wayes and such as work Iniquity shall not go unpunished for every secret thing to Judgment must come and all idle words must be accounted for in that day Therefore in the fear of the Lord and in his dread and power I warn you as you will give Account to him and make your Answer to him when you shall receive a just Recompence according to your doings that while time is continued unto you you prize it and while the Light shines you walk in it that so we may have Fellowship together therein that so you may know the Blood of Christ to cleanse you from all sin for yet a little while and time shall be no more and the wicked and them which forget the Lord shall be turned into Hell from whence no redemption can be found O that you were wise that you would consider and lay to heart the long-suffering of the Lord and his goodness and gentleness towards you who desires not your ruine nor destruction but rather your Salvation that you may be saved from the wrath to come For which of you knows not but if the Lord had rewarded you according unto your doings but you had been cut off from being a People at this day but he hath spared you and given you a time to repent that you may bring forth fruits unto holiness the end of which will be life eternal and if you do it not but shall run on and harden your hearts against the Lord and rebel against him by adding sin unto sin and transgression unto transgression then Wo and Misery will be your portion and the Wrath and Indignation and sore Displeasure of the Lord will you feel upon your souls And to you this is the Word of the Lord which shall not go unfulfilled When it is considered what wickednesse did lately abound amongst you and in all parts of the Nation who cannot but say but God hath been long-suffering unto this Generation Where is the City or Town where Wickedness was not broken forth like a mighty Flood What tumultuous gatherings of people were there What Shoutings and Bonfires and Ringing of Bells were there What setting up of May-poles and Dancings and Revellings and Drunkenness did abound in the Nation And mighty disorderly and wickedly were they bent against those which feared the Lord as if they would have massacred in the Nation Do you believe that these things were well-pleasing to the Lord May Christians do such things as these before-mentioned Where was the fear of the Lord when these things were so let sober-minded people answer And do you believe that it is not just with the Lord to visit for these things Was there greater Wickednesse found in Sodom and Gomorrah
