A few Lines in True Love TO THE Inhabitants of England Especially this Great CITY of LONDON who are called CHRISTIANS DEar People many are so called that have not yet considered the end of Christ in his coming who came not to call the Righteous but Sinners to Repentance therefore to you that are in that State his Call is yet extended that you may now consider while you have time lest any or many of you should prove of that number that hates to be Reformed but will still persist to go on in Pride and Wickedness to Destruction provoking the Righteous God to Anger who is angry with the Wicked every day then consider how many Days Months and Years some of this Generation hath been kindling the Anger of the Lord which in his hot Displeasure if it should break forth will be terrible to the Workers of Iniquity Therefore let such Repent and seek the Lord while he is to be found in Mercy or otherwise he may be seen in Judgment and therefore all prepare and seek the Lord Oh Inhabitants of England Professor and Prophane for you the Lord hath often visited with the Tenders of his Love by and through his Son Christ Jesus who gave himself a Ransom for all Mankind that he might Redeem them out of that State in which the Lord was displeased with them Therefore consider all you who bear the Name of Christians but too many are still found out of that pure peaceable Spirit of Truth and Righteousness that Christ Jesus left an Ensample of but many have been and still are Resisting his Spiritual Appearance which is the way that God hath appointed for Man's Salvation and Restauration out of that Fallen State of Deprivation in which he is Separated from the Glory of his Power and the Belief of the Benefit they may receive thereby through which we see by woful Experience That the Spirit of Antichrist hath prevailed over Nations Kindreds Tongues and People but the Lord hath looked and beheld their Babel-Buildings although their Tops have seemed to reach to Heaven he will confound the wise Builders and bring to nought the Understandings of the Prudent Professors of his Worthy Name who will not bow to the Yoak and Cross of our Lord and Saviour Christ Jesus by which they may come to live that Righteous Life which doth bespeak his Glory and his Fame Therefore Dear People all consider while there is a day of Mercy yet extended and remember what Severity hath been shown to other Nations and Places and forget not how the Lord doth yet spare you and lengthen out the day of your Visitation to see if by any means that may work a Reformation from those Evil Corruptions that do abound in the Nation and O how ready People are to forget both Mercies and Judgments which the Lord hath often mixed in and to the City of London therefore it is high time now to consider and Remember to be Wise and depart from Iniquity which is of many kinds and forsake all those crying sins that do abound for the Call of the Lord is come out of Babylon partake not of her Sins lest you should partake of her Plagues and also remember his Gracious Call hath been extended many ways How gently did the Lord lately shake the Earth as many know that People might hear and fear before him the Great Almighty Powerful God who will not only shake the Earth but the Heavens also For he will not hold them guiltless that take his Name in vain Therefore Dear People once more hear and fear and prepare to meet the Lord that if happily you may obtain farther Mercy from the Gracious long-Suffering God who can afford us Peace and Plenty if People will love him and forsake Iniquity which is of absolute necessity for all that desire Englands Prosperity and the good of their own Souls A.
