sakes have I been pleased to spare thee that I might exercise loving-kindness towards thee and that my long-suffering might lead thee to repentance but Oh! how dost thou gainsay my Love though it flow towards thee as a mighty stream and how doth all manner of Wickedness and Cruelty abound in thy Palaces O when wilt thou begin to consider with thy self and say O thy wonderful Mercies towards me Oh when will it enter into thy heart to say It is enough that I have been spared unto this day I will return I will return Oh! then the evil which I intended to bring upon thee shall not come upon thee for I am a God exercising loving-kindness and with me there is Mercy that I may be feared but O Nation if thou goest on as thou hast done oppressing my Life within thee and persecuting my People amongst you then I cannot hold my Fury from falling upon you For O consider the Oppression that is upon my Children whom I have bought with the blood of my dear Son for they are not their own but mine and therefore have I exercised their Patience and moved them to pray for thee O Land that thou mightest know that I am a God that delight in Mercy but thy sin O Nation hath reached unto Heaven and cryed for Vengeance against thee and behold the cry of my innocent Lambs hath moved me unto Jealousie and my bowels are full even ready to burst forth within me with a terrible fire for I am weary I am weary with bearing the oppression of mine own Seed which I have planted in the Nobility of mine own Life to be a holy Nation unto me with whom my Covenant stands for ever and this is the cause why my Controversie is with you even because you have oppressed my own Life by making bonds and limits to limit the holy One of Israels Oh what art thou a doing that art fighting against God by seeking to destroy his Heritage Canst thou stop the Sun from going its course or the Lightning that it break not through the clouds canst thou stop the Moon that it give not light to the night or hinder that there shall not be day-time nor night-time nor tide in its season If this thou canst do yet I am greater than all who created them all and they are in my hand and I can do with them as my pleasure is Therefore ye Inhabitants of the Earth tremble before me for my Controversie is great with you saith the Lord God and my purpose is to destroy the workers of iniquity from the face of the Earth yea I will disanul the Covenant of the Earth and break the Bonds of Hell and take the old Serpent called the Devil and Satan and put him into the Lake of Fire and seal him down that he go no more out of his place And now O Beast that hast received thy Power from the Dragon and hast ruled in great Authority and hast killed the bodies of my Saints saith the Lord God that could not receive thy marks in their foreheads or right-hands nor the number of thy Names nor worship thy Images Oh Beast thou must be taken alive with the false Prophet and cast alive into the Lake of everlasting burning And now O Babylon thy destruction is near for the Beast that hath long born thee is taken and is in a chain ready to be cast into the Lake and now the hour of thy Judgment is come and all the Vials of the Wrath of God are ready to be poured forth upon thee for thou hast bewitched the Nations with thy Sorceries and hath made all the Kings of the Earth drunk with thy Cup of Fornications and Whoredoms and thou hast drunk the blood of my Saints and Martyrs of Jesus saith the Lord God Almighty and though thou saidst in thy hea●● thou wert a Queen and shouldst see no sorrow but now behold thy misery is coming upon thee and thy torment is near thee and now thou must have double to drink of the Wrath of God for all the Blood that thou hast drunk of his Saints and into a bed of torments must thou go yea into a lake of unquenchable fire to be tormented night and day from the presence of the Lamb. Awake awake O ye Inhabitants of the Earth and see to your standing whether you be in Zion the City of the Lord into which no unclean thing can enter Or joyned to Babylon the City of confusion who is drunk with the blood of the Saints Haste haste out of her all ye that be in her Oh! delay not the time but flee for your lives Come out come out of her my people saith the Lord for if ye be partakers with her of her sins ye must partake with her of her plagues Therefore be all warned O ye the Inhabitants of the Earth For the Lord hath roared out of Zion he hath uttered his terrible voice out of his holy Mountain yea he is risen to plead with all flesh with fire and with sword for his own Seeds sake Yea he will rain from heaven showers of hail mingled with fire O Earth with all thy Inhabitants fear dread and tremble for the Lord is coming to judgement yea the time is at hand that the secrets of all hearts must be judged by Jesus Christ the Lamb of God and Light of the world The Just shall arise unto the Resurrection of Life but the Unjust to the Resurrection of Condemnation And this shall be the Sentence Come ye blessed of my Father inherit the Kingdom prepared for you Or Go ye cursed into everlasting burnings prepared for the Devil and his Angels For the wicked must go into hell with all that forget God Written in the dread of God's power the first day of the 11th Month 1662. by one who in the evening before saw fire rain from Heaven as he walked in the street by which God signified these things unto him which must shortly come to pass Whose Name is called Robert Falkner O Cain O Cain thou down into the pit must go Of horror and vexation of misery and wo. Because th' ast sought to slay the Seed in which God doth delight T' expect a Sacrifice indeed being offered in the Light Thou art that Cananite where-ever thou dost dwell Which dost despise the Light thou must go into hell For Christ who is the Light is given for Salvation ' Gainst such as him despight he is their Condemnation O Gog with all thine host th' art but a running briar Though up and down thou post thou 'lt soon consume i' th' fire When God doth once arise to burn up briars and thorns And to consume the Beast with all his pushing horns And Babylon the Whore her flesh must burned be with fire Who hath opprest the poor by forcing unjust hire Though she as Queen did sit said she should see no sorrow Yet now she must into the pit of misery wo and horror Therefore ye saints of the most high aloud high praises sing Unto the Lord of Life who is your onely King Whose Throne in Righteousness established shall be Ah blessed thou for ever art that dost him feel and see For with high renown his own he 'l crown the Enemy shall be brought down And thou shall have rest and no more be opprest this is thy portion whom God hath blest THE END
