A56033	The hour of God's judgments come and coming upon the wicked world shewing how iniquity will prove the ruin of all people, who do not repent and turn to God, whilst yet they have time : with an exhortation in the love of God to people of all nations, to cease to do evil, and to forsake those provoking sins, that hath kindled the wrath of God, that the judgments now threatning many nations may be turned away.	Parke, James, 1636-1696.	1690 (1690)	Wing P373; ESTC R7298	20,874	26

glory appears for his Day will dawn and break in Peoples Hearts in all Nations of the Earth when he shall terribly shake the Earth and all Nations and the keepers of the House will tremble and all proud Flesh shall be made to tremble before the Lord at hi● appearance he will make known his Voice he will make the Earth to hear and the Heavens shall be astonished at his Power Glory and Majesty and every false Foundation shall be shaken and every high Tower and fenced City built upon a false Foundation will fall and tumble down tho' never so strong and lifted up in their forms of Worship and formal Profession without Life and Power that will not be able to stand in the Day of the Lord 's fierce Wrath which is against that City of Confusion which the Lord God will break down and race it to the Ground then will her Merchants and such as have traded with her lament and cry Alas alas none will buy her Merchandize of us any more Thus will the Lord bring down and destroy Babylon that great Whore that hath with her Cup of Fornication made drunk the Kings of the Earth who have committed Fornication with her and her Merchants that traded with her with great endeavours and all their Babylonish Skill and Trumpery have brought Darkness and Ignorance over the Earth and so would still keep People but the Day of the Lord is come and coming and the Knowledge of the Lord shall cover the Earth and many shall hate the Whore and burn her Flesh with Fire for by Fire and Sword will the Lord plead with all Flesh where-ever the Flesh of the great Whore is the Sword and Fire of the Lord of Hosts will find it out and pursue it till it be devouered to the end that the which is for the Sword and Fire of the Lord may be cut down burnt up and consumed then Envy Malice Cruelty Hatred and Unrighteousness so much abounding in Man and Woman will have an end and People will not be over-come of evil but over-come the evil with good and provoke one another to Love and good Works and not to Hatred Cruelty all manner of Unrighteousness which is Sin and punishable by the great Judge of Heaven and Earth that cometh quickly and his reward is with him although many shut their Eyes against his Appearance are so blinded by the God of this World that you do not see or behold him tho' his Light shines in all your Hearts by which you may all see behold him who is not far from any one of you yet you do not see him nor know him and that is the Condemnation of the whol world that lieth in wickedness that Light is come into the world but darkness is loved rather than Light because their deeds are evil Now it is as if I heard the noise of Trumpets sounding and Drums beating an Alarm to battle in many Kingdom and Nations and the Sword drawn to execute the Wrath of God for Sin and Transgression by the ungodly committed to the great displeasure of the Almighty God who now will shew himself a terrible God to the Workers of Iniquity by Wars Famine and Pestilence with other Judgements and Calamities that God will bring upon many Cities and strong Nations to bring down their Pride and Haughtiness and to abase them for their sleighting and Contemning his Appearance in the Light of his Glorious Gospel which shines in their Hearts to give them the Knowledge of the Glory of God to humble you under his mighty Hand that all might turn to him who smites and corrects Men and Women that they might see his Hand and acknowledge his Power and Soveraignity over all and what we can do with strong and fenced Cities and indeed with all Nations that are but as the drop of a sucket and the small dust of the Ballance to the Lord and his strength and great Power when in his sore displeasure he gives them up to the Sword Famine or Pestilence how soon can he make of a fair and flourishing City on heaps and a strong City a desolation when they Inhabitants thereof will not be reformed from the evil of their Ways and doings nor Repent of the same how often hath the Lord brought Plagues and heavy Judgments upon such Cities and Nations how glad should I be to see the Inhabitants of England in general and the City of London in perticular bringing forth Fruits meet for Repentance that they would whilst they have time be Afflicted Mourn and Weep for the great Evils that daily are committed by many of them that your Laughter might be turned into Mourning and your Joy into Heaviness that those great Calamities which threatens both City and Nation the mercisul God might turn away from my Native Country and every Inhabitant may be humbled for their Transgressions that the Lord may repent of the Evil that doth so much threaten this and many other Kingdoms O that there were such a Heart in all People of all Nations that they would seek after the living God and that they might know him and receive everlasting Lise by Christ Jesus and leave off doing Evil and learn to do Well that instead of hating and killing one another about Religion and worldly Glory and Honour they might feel the Love of God shed abroad in their Hearts and in that love God above all and one another as the Children and Off-spring of God for all Nations upon the face of the Earth being of one Blood made by the great and heavenly Creator all were created by him to fear reverence and serve the eternal God So all you who do pretend that you are Servants of God and Christ Jesus sear reverence serve and obey him in a measure of that Love of God wherewith he hath loved you and all mankind and desireth the Salvation of all men and not the death or destruction of the Wicked but rather that they would turn from their Wickedness and live for evermore to serve worship and obey the living God whose Servants you call your selves and think you worship him and serve him whilst you are out of his holy Spirit and Godly Fear in your vain superstitious and idolatrous ways of Worship which are so unprofitable and of no berefit spiritually to you that vainly pretend to worship the living God who is a Spirit and will be worshipped and served in the Spirit and in the Truth as it is in Jesus for their is no other acceptable worship or serving of God but in his holy Spirit and Truth which the Devil is out of and all his Servants are erred from the Spirit of God and doth imagine that God acceptably may be worshipped and served well enough by them is another Spirit than his own holy Spirit then it must be an unholy Spirit in which you can offer toe God no Worship or Service but what is vain unprofitable and unholy which is rejected of the Lord God as but vain worshipping of him and for this many spend their Money and Labour many Years together but gain no advantage or satisfaction to their immortal Souls being from the Spirit of God and Word of Life that was in the beginning and which is eternal so obtain not Life or true satisfaction to their Souls and therefore cannot livingly move or act spiritually in the service or worship of God but it seemeth to them as a strange thing and the pure God hath but blind and dead service and worship from such and indeed it is no marvel that so many wise and learned men in Arts Sciences and natural Tongues are unskilled and ignorant in spiritual waiting upon serving and worshipping the living God whilst they question whether any doth receive from God the gift of the holy Spirit now in these dayes then let such men in coolness of mind consider with what they adventure to serve and worship God and approach before him not receiving the spirit but will draw nigh to God serve and worship him out of the spirit and what may you expect who are in that deplorable state but that the Lord should say unto you Who hath required such Worship or Service from you now in this Gospel day the spirit of God being poured fourth Do you think People that God will be mocked with such service or worship to be offered to him that doth appear but the fruits of the Flesh or sowing to the Flesh O that you would come to see and seriously consider that the Flesh profiteth nothing nor any of the fleshly motions ways services or worships of fallen man performed in the Wisdom of the Flesh although performed in never so much skill and cunning outwardly can give man acceptance with the Lord nor can at all give Life to the Soul for its the spirit that giveth Life and this Spirit first must be received by you and work in your Hearts to will and to do before your Hearts can be fitted or prepared to serve or worship God acceptably so all of you wait upon God for his holy spirit receive it into your Hearts and no longer reject it but in the silence of all Flesh feel the spirit of God to quicken your mortal Bodies that in and by the spirit you to God may present your Bodies to him and draw night to him with your Flearts fitted and spiritually prepared to offer to God spiritual sacrifice holy and acceptable in his sight who cannot be pleased with Iniquity nor the Works of it in their service or worship for Sin and Iniquity must be done away before you can graciously be received of the Lord or know how to render to him the calves of your Lips or draw nigh to him aright with your Tongues or Lips why should you hate to be reformed or cast off from you that which is good to cleave to the evil and perish therein Beware of that left the Lord utterly reject you and cast you out of his fight and deprive you of his Mercy and Favour that he upon your real Repentance and Amendment of Life would bestow upon you Which is the fervent Desire of a cordial Well-wisher of all your Souls who seeketh the Glory of God the Peace of all Nations and the general good of all Markind to Eternity James Parke Hostedown the 7th day of the 3d.

limmit and turn them as it pleaseth him therefore all ought to look unto him and be instructed by him in order to Eternal Life Happiness and Salvation and to be delivered by him from outward Judgments and Wrath to come from the Almighty God and all ought to dread and fear his holy Name to believe really and trust therein for his Name he will exalt and cause every Knee to Bow and Tongue to Confess to it O all People upon the Face of the Earth stand in awe and sin not commune with your own Hearts and be still be still and know that the Eternal God who is God from everlasting to everlasting will exercise great severity and plead with the Wicked in his Wrath and Indignation when his Goodness Mercy and Forbearance is sleighted and abused by renewing Transgression upon Transgression and adding Sin to Sin that hath brought upon many People and Nations God's fierce Wrath to the depopulating many fair flourishing Cities Countries where Pride Debauchery and Hellish Cruelty aboundeth to bring down their Pride and vain Glory and to shake the Foundations of the Earth and the Heavens also to make way for that which cannot be shaken which shall remain notwithstanding any attempts which are or may be made to overthrow and rout it out of any Kingdom or Nation by any Prince or People whatsoever which will be but an Addition to the manifold Sins and Trespasses that God will bring his Judgments upon Nations and sorely punish People for if they do not repent whilst 't is called to day Terror upon Terror Loss upon Loss Perplexity upon Perplexity Trouble upon Trouble will come upon People in all Nations when God shall plead with them in the way of his Judgments by the Sword by the Famine and Pestilence but the Wicked then want that supporting Hand of the Lord whereby he supports bears up and strengthens his People that fear him that however it be such are at rest and peace with God Now the Wicked who work wickedness and are cruel Enemies against God and his People he will ease him of his Enemies and avenge him of his Adversaries tho' never so strongly consident in an Arm of Flesh or Carnal Weapons prepared for Battel for that strength is little to the Lord 's great Power and strength and surely it will be but a vain thing in any King or Prince on Earth to withstand the Lord's Almighty Power What are the Armies on Earth to they Armies in Heaven What is any Camp on Earth to the Camp of ●he Lord of Hosts who is King of Kings and Lord of Lords And hath not the Lord Legions of Angels at his command to do his Pleasure What Earthly force or strength can incounter them or cause them to desert the doing of the Will of God which he gives them in charge to perform saithfully And when any Angel hath a Vial of God's Wrath to be poured forth who can stay or hinder it from taking its Effect Then We to the wicked and ungodly Men and Women and Wo to all Ealfe-Hearted Treacherous-Deaiers Dissemblers Temporizers Truce-Breakers Ealse-Aecusers and Despisers of them who are good who refuse the Appearance of the Lord and shall so continue in obstinate Rebellion against God and hating to be reformed from that which at last brings ruin and great desolation in the World And now many Houses will be left dsolate without Inhabitant in all Nations where there is or may be a Seat of War and the Sword Famine and Pestilence will be seen in many Countries more or less and sweep away many People out of this present World Husbands from Wives and Wives from Husbands Parents from Children and Children from Parents many Women will be made Widows and Children Fatherless because of the crying Sins and horrible Abominations in most Nations of the Earth committed against him that gave them their being will desolation come how many make a God of their Bellies glory in their shame and mind Earthly things and what end can such who remain so but expect destruction All you that have peirced do peirce the Lord by your wicked works prepare prepare to meet him look upon him whom you have peirced and mourn over him let your Feasting be turned into Fasting and Mourning and your Laughter into Heaviness and bitter Lamentation give not rest to your Eyes nor slumber to your Eye lids till you find out a sure and safe Habitation and resting place in Christ Jesus forsake all your pleasures in Sin and seriously consider that they are but for a season your Digniy Glory Honour and Pleasures of this World are not lasting nor its Riches durable and they fly away they will shortly leave you and you the world you must dye and go hence and after Death come to Judgment Therefore People of all ranks and degres in this World take heed of rushing into Evil as you have done in times past but without delay learn to do well learn Righteousness whilst God's Judgments are in the Earth that if possible you may yet escape those heavy Judgments and Plagues which will come upon the Wicked and Ungodly who then are found ungodly they will reap the Fruit of their own doings But if the Spirit of Grace still strive with thee Man and Woman their is left some hope of Salvation and so be awakned to stand up from the dead and thy mind turned to God from Darkness and the Devil's Temptations and Snares where they are prepared and the Enemy layeth his Snares secretly in the dark Night he catcheth and holdeth fast multitudes of all Nations captive Mind the Light of Christ the Light of Life by which you may all come to see your way out of this Captivity and obtain the freedom and liberty out of this bondage and slavery to Sin and Satan and by Christ Jesus know absolute and real Redemption through his Blood shed as a Sacrifice for your Sins and that it effectually redeems you from the power of Hell and Death that you may not dye in your Sins but live to God hating of Sin and Evil all your dayes The appearance of God in the Spirit wait for the knowledge of that will truly convince you all of your Sins of your Righteousness and of Judgment of Sin because you do not really believe in the Son of God although you profess him long have talked of him also heard of him by the hearing of the Ear yet despising and wondering at his appearance as not worthy to be minded or regarded by you therefore how many are found rejecting that appearance of God in the Spirit that secretly smites checks and convinceth them of their Sins which Spirit also convinceth the World of Righteousness being wrong A Righteousness of your own you have gone about to establish and would establish which God will convince you of and lead you out of by his own Spirit and that will acquaint you with God's Righteousness that which is really of him
