The VOICE of the Lord saith CRY ANd what shall I Cry Oh! the day of the Lord God hasteneth and is coming upon all proud Flesh upon the Lofty and the High-minded upon all the tall Cedars and the Sword of the Lord God is drawn to cut down all fruitless Trees And this is the Cry of the Lord God of Heaven which is gone forth against you unjust Justices with all the false Judges with whom we are to contend for the Truth and Faith of our Lord Jesus Christ who is come again with Power and great Glory against whom the Rulers and the Judges of the Earth take Counsel who are combinding together against the Lord of Glory and his holy Anointed who are blessed for ever And this is the day of the Lord God wherein we warn you again and again to repent of your evil Deeds your Works of Darkness which you are working in the Night which is over you Behold thick Darkness hath covered you and the Clouds of the Night hath infolded you and your Eyes are yet blinded that you cannot see the Signes of the Times nor yet discern the Coming of the Son of Man surely if you did but see the glimerings of the day of God you would not thus make War against his glorious appearance A Lamentation could I take up for you as the Lord Jesus did over Jerusalem of old who killed the Prophets who stoned them that were sent to Preach Repentance over whom he wept and said Oh Jerusalem Jerusalem that killest the Prophets and stonest them that were sent unto thee do you not do the same who are Halling and Persecuting and Imprisoning the innocent People who fear the Lord God and for no other thing do Suffer for but for Truth and for Righteousness sake a woful Day is coming upon you all from the righteous God of Heaven who hath determined to bring it and it is even at your doors although you will not believe it although it be declared unto you you Despisers and Wonderers you shall surely perish if you Repent not and as sure as the Lord liveth he will plead with you by the Sword of his Eternal Vengeance and woe unto you who are decreeing unrighteous Decrees who are seeking by all subtilty to ensnare the Just but away with your Abominations we see the subtilty of the Devil whose Servants ye are and so we may call you as Christ did your Fore-fathers who said they were of the Seed of Abraham their Father but they were of their Father the Devil whose Works they did The same you do now and the Vengeance of God must come upon you then shall you see the King of Glory appear in Flames of consuming Fire rewarding you the Workers of Iniquity then shall the witness of God be awakned in every one of your Consciences although it be now as it were asleep although the Son of God is slain in the Streets of Sodom when the Blood of the Covenant is trampled under by you the uncircumcised in Heart and Ears who cannot indure the Truth when it is spoken but there is a witness of God in every Conscience of you this you shall know awakned in the Day that is coming and this shall arise to your Condemnation and then your Consciences condemning you God is greater and will condemn you also and then whither will you fly I tell you the Mountains shall not cover you neither shall the Rocks hide you from the Flames of his Wrath when he appeareth to Judgement Therefore you Judges on Earth come forth arise you Dead to the Judgement of the great day of the Lord God who is arising to Judge you according to your Works therefore I say in the Power of the living God and by his holy Spirit you shall be unthroned and thrown down the mouth of the Lord of Host hath spoken it and your Kingdom shall be laid waste and your dwelling Places made desolate without Inhabitants your Habitation is a habitation of unclean Spirits the Devil keepeth your House by whose Power you Rule but woe unto the Earth and to the Sea for the Devil is come down having great Rage because his Kingdom is to be destroyed and woe unto the Rulers of this present Age who are Vessels of Wrath who are fitted for Destruction in whom the Prince of this World lodgeth and by his Power you think to make the Sons of God bow nay the Authority of the heavenly Power in which we stand shall bind you all you Kings and Princes of the Earth the Dominion of our God raigneth over Hell and Death and above you in the King of Heavens Authority and you shall bow and bend unto the Power in which we dwell and the Lord God hath put it into my Heart to expostulate this matter and to contend for the Faith and Truth of the Lord Jesus against whom you Rulers of the Earth are taking Counsel and making War against but your Counsellor God will confound and your Counsels shall be dasht in pieces and your unrighteous Decrees shall be confounded and you shall never be able to make an end of the Work which you have begun it will be too pondrous for you and this Testimony we have to bear for the living God against you the Oppressors of his Truth and Truth and Righteousness shall be again established in the Earth although it is become a Sting and a Torment yet the Truth the living Stone shall dash you to pieces and grinde you to powder therefore tremble dread and fear the God of Host who will terribly shake the Foundations and Pillars of the Earth before whom you shall Quake and Tremble then shall you know that the God of the Quakers is a consuming Fire which will render Vengeance upon you all whose day you shall not escape Therefore I say tremble Oh Earth ye Judges and Rulers stand in awe of the dreadful God who is coming with thousands of his Angels to Judge the World and you shall all know his power to your Everlasting Destruction if you submit not to his Government which is Righteous Holy and True and is upon his shoulders and because of Injustice the Land mourns and because of false Judgement great is the Oppression and instead of Justice behold Oppression is found amongst you who are looking for Bribes and Rewards and Gifts which hath blinded your Eyes And so by the deceitfulness of Sin you are led into Captivity by the Prince of this World who Ruleth in the Earthly minded who covets after Earthly things whose Hearts are filled with unclean Lusts these are not the Temples of God but these are Vessels filled with uncleanness and abomination against whom the Cry of the Lord is gone forth who will meet them with sudden Destruction and the day hastens that was never the like nor ever the like shall be after it the great and notable Day the mighty and terrible Day which is near to be revealed I say the like was never nor shall be the like after it so dreadful so terrible shall be the day of God upon his Enemies that no Flesh shall be saved that liveth in Corruption and woe unto the World for they shall mourn and weep bitterly and mens Hearts shall fail them for fear and they shall run up and down as men amazed and looking for those things which shall come upon the Earth for the Tribes of the earth shall mourn and great Sorrow and Desolation shall come on all that are found out of the Covenant of the Lord God and no other hiding-place shall be found but the holy Ark of God into which the Righteous shall enter but the Wicked and Rebellious shall be destroyed by Fire and by Sword So this was upon my Spirit from God to declare and publish as a faithful Testimony and Warning published by me Dorothy White Dated from the White-Lyon Prison in Southwark this 17th of the 8th
