A VVarning from the LORD to this Nation July 9 1655 O England England who art departed from the living God full of wickedness and abominations full of deceit and hypocrisie how art thou bettered for the judgements of God that have passed thorough thee where is thy repentance and thy serving of the living God now when the Lord hath given the Rest and Peace on every side the sword of thine enemy is not now within thy land and thou didst make large promises and protestations if the Lord did but deliver thine enemie into thine hands and overturne and cut down thine oppressors and give the rest thou wouldest serve the Lord thy God alone to signifie thy thankfulness to him for all his benefits towards thee when thou wast in distress thou sought the Lord and cried unto him and he delivered thee from those that tormented and vexed thee but where is now the fear of the living God found in thee O unthankful England thou now fittest quietly under thy own Vyne and Fig-tree and enjoyest a land that flowes with plenty of abundance of all things but thou art careless and regards not the fear of the living God Pride and Oppression did never more abound in thee than now it doth thou art haughty and lifted up in pride more than ever never wast thou so full of gaudy attire and proud inventions as now and because of oathes the land mournes and the cry of the oppressed doth reach the eares of the Lord of Sabbaths thou hast a name that thou livest but thou art dead all thy former zeale which was kindled in thee in the day of thy exercise thou now being at ease is turned into pride and pleasures and oppression What are we bettered by you the Powers of the Earth where is Oppression taken off how are we eased Nay you have forgotten the Lord your God who did deliver you from the house of Bondage and are set down in their seats who were Oppressors and know not the Lord therefore the Lord is now witnessing against thee oh England and laying open thine Hypocrisie and calling the to repentance and every one that comes out of thy sins doth deliver his soul and his life is given him for a prey for ●●s Lord is riding on in mighty power to cut thee off for ever and remove the farre away out of his sight that thou shalt no more be called the People of the Lord for thou imprisonest the Prophets and mockest stonest and persecutest those that are sent unto thee and sheddest inocent bloud Is this thy reformation when drunkards swearers and cursed speakers goe openly up and down thy streets unpunished in the sight of those who are set up to do Justice and those thou pretends to be thy Teachers are fleecing thee and oppressing and imprisoning those that will not put into their mouthes as the false Prophets of old did who live in pride and are called Masters and flatter thee and do thee no good but divine unto thee out of their own brain for money Thus thou art all corrupt full of deceit and hypocrisie therefore will the Lord plead with thee by fire and sword and thy slane will be many heaps upon heaps then all thy laughter will be turned into mourning and all thy glory and renown will wither and be consumed into ashes in this day of the Lord which will burn as an Oven for the Lord is showring down his indignation in flames of fire to render vengeance upon all that know him not and that which is for the fire must to the fire and that which is for the sword must to the sword and instead of well set hair will be baldness and of a sweet smell will be a stink and an ill savour in your noistrils and you shall be consumed for ever the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it And this is the day of the Lord which you put of and continue in wantonness and pleasures living merrily upon the Earth marrying and giving in marriage as the old World did who regarded not Noah the Preacher of Righteousness who foreseeing their destruction prepared an Ark for the saving of himself and his family and the Flood came and swept them all away in the height of their abominations as he will do thee O England who art warned and hardned against the fear of the Lord increasing in Wickedness and filling up thy measure of abominations Therefore will the Lord come upon the suddenly and when thou cries Peace Peace then will come sudden destruction and this thou shalt witness to be the word of the Lord from the highest to the lowest that you may all see where you are and how you are running on the broad way that leads to destruction And return unto the fear of the Lord now whilest thou hast time that the Lord may repent him of his fierce wrath that is gone out against thee least thou be consumed in the fierceness of his anger and indignation which will burn like fire against all the ungodly and if this anger be but kindled a little blessed are all they that put their trust in him Christopher Taylor A Warninig a Warning from the Lord unto you Oh all People Repent Repent oh all People repent and return to the Lord speedily now when he is calling you and giving you all Warning and space to Repent oh Repent repent spedily and fear the living God the day of the Lord is at hand the mighty dreadful and terrible day of the Lord to all the ungodly is nigh at hand and then must all the Tares and unprofitable ones and fruitless Trees Drunkards Swearers Lyars Blasphemers Slanderers Scoffers and Scorners and all proud and lofty ones and lustful ones Couzeners and Cheaters and Dissemblers and Hypocrites and all Earth-worms and Raylers and Persecuters of the innocent be called to an account before the Almighty God who will sit upon the Thron of Justice and reward every one according to his works and will be no respecter of persons Kings and Rulers Judges Justices and Magistrates Lawyers and Gentlemen or however they be called or stiled all that are proud and do wickedly shall be cast out and consumed for ever Howle howle howle and lament yee tall Cedars who are proud and lofty who live in pride and pleasures ye strong Oakes the Lord is

ones and cast you out of his presence for ever and give ye your portion in the Lake that burns for ever And you that laugh now and live merrily upon Earth in pride and pleasures shall then howl and mourn
