A41876	Great Britains call to repentance: or, A seasonable exhortation, to a speedy reformation and turning from these crying sins of our age as swearing and prophaning the name of God, and making a sport and game of his sacred Word, and ordinances, lest his vvrath should wax hot against us, and instead of shaking his rod, like a father, he should bring upon us that desolutiou [sic] which the poor island of Jamaco now groans under. Therefore let us speedily repent, for what can we expect, since we have sinned as well as they? Licensed according to order.		1693 (1693)	Wing G1665A; ESTC R219884	4,709	19

thine own Lusts in thy labour take pains in thy calling but hurt not thy Neighbour by it provide for thy Children and lay up but withall lay up thy treasure in Heaven especially and provide to bring them up in the fear of God in some Christian Vocation First provide that they may be Christians and then thou hast well provided for them Store up mercifull works for if we be Righteous Merciful and Lend our Seed shall injoy the blessing Thus God will have one labour with Godliness and provide so for his Children as that he must also provide for his own Soul So come to Angry and Passionate Persons they likewise can have something to say for their sins and that out of Gods Word when the● have broken out into ●oolish and unadvised Passions tell them this is nought Anger resteth in the bosome of Fuels and the wrath of Man fulfilleth not the Law of God Eccles 7.11 Oh but I pray you doth not St. Paul say Be angry and sin not James 1.20 It is true But it thou wilt be angry without sin be angry first with thine own sin begin at home and condemn the folly that is in thine own Soul or thine anger is not Holy and Spiritual but Devillish Fleshly and Carnal So almost in all other sins there is scarce any sin so bad but ungodly Pers●ns will stand in defence of it and if they can snatch a few words out of the Scripture and turn them violently from the true sence thereof unto their own lust they count this a matter of great VVittiness but in truth it is a great VVickedness and a damnable profaning of the Name of God When one can wrest and hale together many places and say much for his sin it is not a Note of more Wit but of the more acquaintance with the Devil for their Tongues is set on fire of Hell and blown by the stinking breath of Satan And when they have said all they can they have made their ssn more grievous their heart more hard and themselves more cursed in that they have done nothing all the while but dishonoured God to make him a pattern of wickedness and his Word a Sword for Satan Now the best Medicine to preserve us from all sins and abuses of Gods Titles is set down in Deut. 28.58 Fear the Glorious and Fearful name of the Lord thy God fear it so that you name it not nor think of it but with great Reverence For if one be audacious to take Gods name in his Mouth without fear and due regard God will lay plagues upon him and those not sho●t and slight but sore and grievous of long continuance and great durance but if one tremble and fear before the Lord he shall never abuse his name The Pious Christians Mournful Lamentation In a Copy of Verses on the Sins of this Present Age. Tune of Troy Town MY thoughts are in Confusion hurl'd mine Eyes like Christial Fountains flow To see the most ungrateful World who will not here her Duty know But in a sinful course run on Against the Laws of God and Man The ten Commandments Men break nay sport and droll upon the same But those that do these Measures take let them repent and blush for shame It is not safe th●s to deride That word by which we must he try'd Some makes their bags of Gold their God and own no other Deity And while the Lord he shakes his Rod they shut their Eyes and will not see But violates that Righteous Law Which should keep all the World in aw Some do profane Gods holy Name and others break the Sabbath day And some with blood their Conscience stain alas alas what shall we say These sins do for loud vengeance cry To that great God who sits on high Young Gallants scoff at sober Men and likewise pure Religion here But oh how will they tremble when before their God they shall appear Therefore this day repent with speed For sure we never had more need Our crying sins have been the cause of all the troubles of the land Yet still against Gods Righteous Laws we do in sad Rebellion stand O let us now Repent with speed For s●re c.

We felt the Symtoms of the same altho no harm at all was done O let us praise Gods Holy Name and let out Eyes like Fountains run With true Repenting Tears with speed For sure c. Let us with thankful heart express his tender mercies Night and Day For we alas must need confess that we have sinn'd as well as they Let us therefore Repent with speed For sure c. How Good and Gracious is our God to we poor Mortals here below He like a Father shakes his Rod yet loath he is to strike the blow O let us then Repent with speed For sure c. To punish us our God is loath in hopes we will in time return Yet who can stand before his wrath which will like flaming fire burn If that we don't repent with speed For sure c. The Nations round us bleeding lye the sword is drawn and thousands slain And none but our great God on high knows when it will be sheath'd again O let us then Repent with speed For sure c. If we our sins would wash away by showers of true Repenting tears And strive Gods Precepts to obey he soon will expiate our fears Then let us all Repent with speed For sure we never had more need FJNJS
