A87003	The worlds timely warning-peece newly corrected and amended. This being the third time presented or sent to these three nations, England, Scotland, and Ireland; describing the nearnesse of the day of the Lord, by the signes and tokens that our Saviour told his disciples should come to passe, before the last day. Being a dismall looking-glasse for the false prophets of these times to look into, which invent false imaginations, out of their own proud phantasticall brains, to deceive the simple. Written by Charles Hammond.	Hammond, Charles, 17th cent.	1660 (1660)	Wing H500; ESTC R226173	7,589	17

World to come if the Lord leaves them to themselves But if you be rich mighty men will not return thanks unto God for plenty let the poor of this Nation blesse God for his mercies to them and let their Prayers be to continue it For Christ saith In the latter dayes because iniquity shall abound the love of many shall wax cold And so doth the love of the rich grow cold to the poor as some for example hang'd themselves dispairing at the bountifulnesse and plenty that the Lord sent But the Lord will love them that put their trust in him saith David Psalm 9.18 For the poor shall not alwayes forgotten the hope of the afflicted shall not perish for ever But to go forward concerning the signs of the latter day Christ told there should be signs from Heaven I am sure this land and other Nations too hath both seen and felt most strange sights from Heaven Here in our nation was there not great and strange things done by thunder and lightning in 1652 in June and July and many people destroyed by it and houles and Churches fired and consumed by it in severall parts of this land And likewise it rained blood the twentieth of June 1653. at a place called Pool in Dorset-shire which may fulfill the words of the Lord which he speaks by the mouth of his Prophet Joel I wil shew wonders in the Heavens and in the earth bloud and fire and pillars of smoak as you may read Joel 3.2 where he speaks of the signs of the last day The great Eclipses that have hapn● you will say are naturall but so many one after another hath béen seldome séen or heard of Moreover 't is said We shall not know the winter from the summer but by the leaves of the trees and if you have noted for this five years together here in England it hath been partly fulfilled for in the midst of Winter mornings and evenings were like May-mornings and more warmer But in Scotland it was certified that there was green pease and birds built their nests in the midst of winter and the season not known but by the shortnesse of the dates in 1653. Moreover There shall be in those dayes such tribulation as was not from the beginning of the Creation which God created unto this time neither shall be And truly I think there was never the like since the creation as hath of late been and is now both for Wars and rumours seditions heresies destruction hipocriffe false Prophets envy and malice the brother betraying the brother the Father the son the Son the Father Will not one friend sell the life of another now adaies When was ever the like heard or read of in any age before I desire you all that hear this book consider it and sleight it out for this is no false Prophesie that you hear this is Christs Prophesie which he left us to look into that we may not be deluded in these times as I am afraid too many are and run after their own inventions and will take upon them to prophesie and to teach others when alass poor souls they are ignorant of what they do and out of a proud opinion and out of a false delusion seek to bring swift destruction upon themselves and others such as despise the learned Ministers of the Gospel and think none so worthy as themselves to handle the word of God that can scarce read true English yet will take upon them to interprete the Scriptures Christ saith that the Gospel must be published in all natious before this time come I would fain know of these men whether they must do it or the learned Ministry Have they their Greek Latin or Hebrew tongue to Travel all over the world to preach this Gospell in other nations their English tongue will not serve but in all nations of the World either Latin Greek or Hebrew will be undestood Therefore whether you are the men to finish this great work of the Lord or Schollars I leave it to yourselves to judge of it I leave you this place of Scripture 2 Pet. 3. if you read the Chapter before you shall read what shall come in these last dayes Now you that read those places consider seriously on them and desire God to direct your hearts in true knowledge and interpretation of these Scriptures and no doubt but you shall find the true sence of it I would masters and parents would instruct their children and servants more than they do they would not be so disobedient as they be both to their masters and parents and to their elders and superiours Nor will I not be partiall but with reverence may tell some of the Clergy that it is long of them that the word of God and his Ordinance too is evill spoken of Titus Chap. 2. shews you what you ought to be and what you ought to do for indeed the eyes of the people are upon the Ministers I and just cause they have had indeed for it is a gallant thing to see one of that coat that can say he hath been no time-server he hath been no breeder of divisions he hath been no covetous person who would leave his flock if they were little to get a greater so he might get the bigger fleece But because there are such are there none that doth the work of the Lord faithfully Yes the Lord be praised there be and I pray God continue them amongst us and let us be sure to hearken unto them For he that preaches the word of God boldly not fearing man but God whose messenger he is not medling with these frivolous things that happens in these last dayes which must come to pass For when Christ told his Disciples of these latter daies and what should come to pass he saith Heaven and earth shall pass away but my words shall not pass away So having with that small understanding that I have told you the possibility and certainty of the dissolution of time or day of doom which if you please by the prophesy of our Saviour as you shall find it in the 24. of Matthew 13 of Mark and the 21 of Luke which you may read at your leasure and you shall find it all agree as one-doctrine which was writ by the thrée Evangelists Therefore let me desire you to prepare for it for it will come unlook'd for to a great many I am afraid as a thief in the night or as a snare wherein it will catch us at unawares Perhaps some may scoff at this Book and say How can he tell more than another and this was a long time ago writ and still all things remain as it did many hundred years Yet I must answer such as these in the 2 Pet. 2.3 to the end of the Chapter where you find the Apostle tells you of these men which I desire you to read and it will give you full satisfaction Now to invite you for preparation for this day of the Lord
