A TRUMPET Sounded out of ZION AS A Warning to all the Inhabitants of the Earth but more especially to this Nation of England which hath for a long time provoked the Lord by Oppression and Cruelty in Persecuting his Sons and Daughters Which may serve as a Call to them to turn from their Wickedness before their Day be past and their Sun be set and they shut up in dismal Darkness HEar all ye that are Stout-hearted and give ear ye lofty Ones who have long provoked the Lord and have strove against his true and faithful Witness that he hath placed in your Hearts which hath many times let you see the Evil of your Wayes but it you have not regarded and the Lord hath also commanded many of his Sons and Daughters to warn you of the Dreadful Terrible Day that is coming upon you but still ye daily provoke the Lord by laying heavy Burdens grievous to be born upon his People that fear and dread his holy Name by adding Afflictions to their Bonds Therefore as a Warning unto you this I send both high and low who Persecute and Oppress the People that the Lord hath chosen the Lord hath beheld you the Lord hath beheld you the Work which you are about to do will be too hard for you For who ever fought against the Lord and prospered ye Briers ye Thorns the Lord will burn you up and utterly consume you his Indignation is kindled against you and in his fierce Wrath he will destroy you Oh vain men would you limit the Lord or his good Spirit in his People that they should not be led thereby if ye can stop the Sun that it shall not give Light to the world or stay the Moon from going its Course or number the Sands on the Sea-shore then may you fight against the Lord and his People and prosper Therefore hearken ye strong Oakes and give ear ye tall Cedars to the terrible dreadful Sound which is as the Sound of a Trumpet and as a Warning unto you all to break off from Wickedness Oppression and Cruelty by turning unto the Lord before your day be past and the Sun go down upon you Oh! listen ye great Ones of the Earth and give good heed ye that are of low Degree yea all that put afar off the evil day and cause the seat of Violence to come near that lie upon Beds of Ivory that stretch your selves upon your Couches and eat the Lambs of the Flock and the Calves out of the midst of the stall that chaunt to the sound of the Vyal and invent to your selves Instruments of Musick like David that drink Wine in Bowls and annoint your selves with the chief Ointments but are not grieved at all for the Affliction of the People of God whose Afflictions are as Joseph's Oh! the Indignation of the Lord is kindled and by your Abominations he is highly provoked for is not in thee O Nation found the greatest Abominations Ezek. 8.16 for you turn your backs on the Temple of the Lord and you Worship the Sun towards the East will not the Lord be avenged on such a People yea he will tread you in his anger and trample you in his fury for thus faith the Lord by the Prophet Their Blood shall be sprinkled upon my Garments and I will stain all my Rayments for the Day of Vengeance is in my Heart for I looked on my People and there was none to help and I wondred that there was none to uphold Therefore with mine own Arm will I save them and by mine Allmightiness I will preserve them and the Ungodly shall know that I am the Lord that made the Earth by my Power and established the World by my Wisdom and stretched out the Heavens by my Understanding I will lead my People as I did Joseph like a Flock I will be with them in their greatest straits but my Fury shall burn as an Oven and my dreadful Hand shall not spare but I will be avenged of mine Enemies Therefore tremble ye careless Ones and be troubled you that are at ease cloath your selves with Mourning and take up a Lamentation ye proud Ones of the Earth come down from the Mountains of Pride ye high and lofty Ones and abhor your selves in Dust and Ashes Oh! return return make hast and speedily repent before the Door of Mercy be shut and you be sealed up in Perdition for ever for the Lord hath long strove with you but ye have not turned unto him but have rushed into Iniquity as a Horse into the Battle and have erred from his pure Spirit which hath often reproved you which would have led you in the Way of Life and the Path of Peace and ye have hated the reproof of Instruction which is the Way of Life and have chose the Path that leads to the chambers of Death Oh England England the Sins of Sodom and the Iniquities of Gomorrah are found in thee Pride and Fulness of Bread and now you Inhabitants are satisfying the Lusts of the Flesh Eating and Drinking and rising up to Play glorying in your shame seeking to your selves honour and to make all bow before you building your Towers so strong as if it should reach to Heaven that so you might not again be scattered and that you might exalt your own Horn Ah! how have you forgot the Lord that hath done great things for you and hath raised you when you were very low surely it was not that you should dishonour Him neither that you should have the Supremacy to rule over the Consciences of People which alone is the Lord 's right for Him have we choose whom ye Persecute to be our God even the Lord the God of Jacob and to Him we commit our Cause for he alone is our defence and this ye may be sure that we are not of those that fight with Carnal Weapons or to defend ourselves with them for we wrestle not against Flesh and Blood but against spiritual Wickedness that rules in the Hearts of People and with no other Weapons but those that are spiritual Therefore hearken all ye that are erred from the Lord in your Hearts and have forgot your Maker For all that forget God must be turned into Hell Mark all that forget God Therefore this is a Warning to you all and an Invitation of Love that you return to the Lord that he may have mercy on you and to the living God that he may pardon you for your Sins have reached to Heaven and your Iniquities are come before Him Oh! while you have yet a day return to the Lord before it be over and time to you be no more and your perpetual Destruction be sealed for then you may call to the Mountains and cry to the Hills to cover you but from them there is no Salvation for alone in the Lord Jehovah is Everlasting Strength and Preservation for ever Therefore be awakened ye that sleep and arise from the dead that ye may know Christ
