Certain things as they were revealed before they Came to past are now in Love published with some Addition concerning the present Times AS one opprest so do I write these lines Of God's great Day and of these latter times In which Gog shall with Magog so combine That to Armageddon they may incline Oh Valley of Jehosaphat prepare In thee the Nations now shall have their share Who shall contend against God's innocent God will that Nation and that People rent With judgments great he will Men's faults correct That set at nought and scorn his poor Elect. God will his truth and People's cause defend Against all such as will not yet amend The Lord Almighty he will shew his Power His Vengeance on the wicked he will shower He will cut off the Scoffer and the Proud The Drunkard Swearer and the wicked croud Strange Plagues and Deaths amongst men shall arise That hate God's servants and his truth despise Great signs and wonders God from heaven wil shew The heavens earth seas with marvels great shal flow The whole Creation shall with wonders then Preach forth Repentance unto wicked men The Earth shall Q●ake the Sun in Light decay Th● Moon seem blood the Stars shall fall away Men's hearts shall fail at that which they shall see For from God's wrath no place shall then be free For God will smite Professors and Prophane And all that do talk of his name in vain The high the low the rich and poor shall bend At thole sad woes which God on them will send What shall I say the like hath never been God will be known his Power shall be seen For Widows cry the Fatherless make moan The Husbands weep and Wives with sorrow groan Poor Children for their Parents do lament Their Prison-state and more their banishment Husbands from Wives Parents from Children smal To be undone by sending into thral Ah woful Nation where these things shall be Good Men opprest but wickedness is free A Meeting now to worship God in fear Is that at which Men mock deride and jeer And to confess we meet to worship God Is that for which we feel the Scorner's Rod To worship God to preach to meet and pray Is not to be permitted in this day And those that meet with a true good intent Are for that cause expos'd to banishment Religious worsh●p we may not maintain From serving God some Men would us restrain God's wayes and truth are now made burthensome Who walks therein must into Prison come And if God's truth he will not then forsake NO more but Goa●er him to Prison take We 'l make him bow he is not fit to live He will not swear no honour he will give To fear an Oath and not to swear at all To speak the truth when Judges do us call Our yea our nay as Christ did us command For this they will transport us from our Land Because O Christ thy Law we dare not break Our Country and our Friends we must forsake My Native Country over thee I mourn Thy case is sad for thou wilt be forlorn If thou go'st on as thou hast now begun There is no way but thou wilt be undone For like as Sodom and Gomorrha who Vext righteous Lot and would those Angels know Whom God had sent to lead him safe away Felt their destruction came without delay Ev'n so O Nation if the righteous shall Forsake thy borders then shall be thy fall Thy safety peace prosperity and rest Is for our sakes whom God hath lov'd and blest Yea for our sakes against whom thou art bent To drive us from thee into Banishment The Lord doth love us and when e're we go His wrathful vengeance he will on the show When ye begun your rage on us to vent Then God this sweeping Plague amongst you sent Oh let none say the Plague shall have an end If that ye would away the Quakers send And rid the Land of them and all their wayes Then shall be peace with good and happy dayes No no Oh people if ye mind it well These woes were seen and some thereof did tell The cause of all is your ungodly state God's truth ye mock his goodness ye do hate Hard measure ye unto his Servants give For ye will not at quiet let us live But with your Courts your Prisons and your Lawes Ye pinch and rent us as with Dragons claws But that 's not all of all we are bereft And in a state of Banishment are left Unto the rage and cruelty of those Who know not God and do remain our foes For these and such like acted in this kind God sent this Plague and first it did you find Near to that place from whence that good man went Whom first ye fore'd away in Banishment And as that work ye since have driven on The Plague doth still increase your Coasts upon An if ye will not persecuting cease God's Plagues shall more and more on you increase Your Souls accursed from his Presence shall Be and by Plagues your Carcasses must fall Your Name shall rot your honour shall decay God from the Earth will take you all away With fear and dread God will beset you found His Plague's great terror shall your wits confound He will deprive you of your reason so Before it 's near you ye away would go But what to do or where a place to hide No place ye'l find where ye may safe abide But like poor out-casts that no home do know Shall from your Houses wander to and fro No peace within nor rest wi●hout shall find But like to those left comfortless and blind Each man shall of his fellow be afraid And greatly fear that he shall be betray'd Into the hand of some devouring wretch Who waits death's stroke away his life to fetch O Plague like death none can resist thy will For thou art sent and 't is thy work to kill Off them that shall resist God's mighty pow'r Both high and low this Judgment shall devour God will chastise and with his Beesome sweep Away all those that hate his Law to keep The stuborn-hearted and the strong shall reel For those sad woes and Plagues which they shall feel The scoffing tongue and lying lips shall close For truth no longer now they shall oppose The Lord in fury to this Land doth call What mercy could not do his Judgments shall Break People hearts bow down the haughty mind Bring tenderness the Prison-bands unbind That so the Gospel of glad-tydings may Sound forth God's power in this latter day To turn all Souls from darkness unto light That they may fear and do God's will aright Awake Oh people who have tenderness Trust in the Lord and do not fear distress Obey Christ's light and it will shew the way How ye must live that Christ may be your stay Be strong all ye that do the living know Let none faint when e're doth come the woe But let all wait in the true patient mind For here true peace and comfort we shall find Come now dear Friends who know the living voice Gird up your minds and let us all rejoyce The Gospel of the Kingdom now shall ring Great flocks to Christ the sound thereof shall bring With open hearts much people shall embrace the Lord's dear Truth and love his saving Grace And some who did not know God's truth shall now Believe Christ's light and to God's power bow For now it shall be as it was of old The blood of Martyrs shall increase Christ's fold The peace of God shall cruelty bow down Oppression cease and truth shall have the Crown O happy they who hold out to the end In their distress the Lord will comfort send So bless'd are they who for the truth are spent Either at home or else by Banishment Yea happy they who in the Lord shall die Whether in bonds or else at liberty J.
