THE DREADFUL and TERRIBLE VOICE of GOD Uttered From the Throne of his Justice As the Voice of a Mighty Thunder and as the Voice of many Waters Rumbling ABout the twentieth'day of the tenth Month 1660. soon after the twelfth hour of the day the Word of the Lord sprang up in me which made the earthly part to shake And I was filled with the Words of his Holiness and a necessity was laid upon me from the Dreadful God that made Heaven and Earth To proclaim the day of Judgement and was made to go Bare-headed and the Word of the Lord Sounded through me The Dreadful and Terrible day of the Lord is coming terrible Terribly Terribly will the Lord shake the Earth and the Graves shall open and the dead shall rise and come to Judgement And these words were added O Earth Earth Earth Here the Word of the Lord and all the Inhabitants therein awake and ●and up to Judgement For the hour of his Judgenient is come and the Lord will Plead through the Dark Clouds and there will be nothing able to cover in that day but the Covering of the Spirit of God And further the Word of the Lord was Sounded through me Woe Woe Woe to all the workers of Iniquity they must all depart from the living God and the Vialls of the Wrath of the Almighty are to be poured forth upon the Sea and upon the Earth and upon the Fountaines of Waters So all people upon the face of the whole earth fear God and give glory unto his Name and worship him who made the Heavens and the Earth whose Name is The Lord of Hosts who lives for ever and ever This was the Word of the Lord that passed through me which shall stand for ever And further the Lord Revealed in a Vision things that must shortly come to passe Two dayes after as I was lying in my Bed Meditating upon my God the Dread of the Almighty came over me the power of the Lord came so over me that I was bowed down by the Power of God and as I was bound down by the Power the God of Israel appeared as in Mighty Thunders which was exceeding terrible unto me I saw as if Chariots of fire and the Hosts of Heaven Moving and the Lamb appeared with his Brightness clearer than the Sun at Noon-day and the Light shone about me and I say an Innumerable Multitude which Assembled to the Mount Sion where the Lamb stood with a Rod of Iron in his Hand who was to bruise the Nations and to crumble them under his feet that will not that he should Reign And behold He uttered his Voice and the Mountains trembled and made the Hills to shake and all the Beasts of the Field to tremble So that none could endure his Voice but they who were gathered into his Light to them his voyce was sweet He that hath an ear to hear let him hear And as I was lying behold in their streets I heard Joy and Mirth but it is that Mirth and Joy that must be turned into Sorrow For it Wounded my Soul and I was much smitten in the inward man yet standing still in the patience and waiting to what the Lord would have done by me the Word of the Lord sprung up in me Have I called you ●o Fasting and Mourning and Girding with Sackcloath but you call for Joy and Gladness and Mirth slaying of Oxen and killing of Sheep Verily Saith the Lord God This Iniquity shall not depart from you till ye die unless ye speedily Repent Thus saith the Lord Are you feeding your selves for the Slaughter This is the way to bring the Plague upon you feeding your lusts to the full And further the Lord hath Revealed unto me what is to come upon these Nations especially the Priests and Professors of all sorts under what name soever whether Teachers of others or Hearers that is not in the possession Life and power of Righteousness Such an overturning as was not since Ezekiel did declare of the captivity to come for the Lord will overturn all your buildings and all your false covers shall be taken off yea He will shake all foundations which are not upon the Rock Christ and shame shall cover the face of the Hypocrite it will not be the Arm of flesh that you have so long trusted in neither the great Multitude of Hosts nor your Strength which you have so long Gloryed in that will deliver you nay your Strength shall be turned into Weakness and your Glory into shame and the Lord will awake you by his Righteous Judgements yea Famine is coming upon you yea a Famine of the Word and of the Gospell though you preach your selves up to be the Church of God and Preach up the Sabboth in the Shaddow which in the Substance is the Rest which you are out of And the Lord made me a true Signe unto you for as a Necessity was laid upon me as to go severall dayes without my Hat so will your Heads be open to the Storm and Hail and Tempest of Gods Eternall Wrath it is surely to come upon all the ungodly And further The Lord layed a necessity upon me both to Fast and to Mourn and to Gird with Sackcloth and that for severall dayes that happily some might consider For a Necessity was laid upon me to Gird with Sackcloth upon my Loynes after I had Fasted and besought the Lord with Prayer Teares Sighes and Groans at last the Lord cleared unto his Servant what his Will was and I was made willing through his Righteous Judgments even freely to give up Life and All and so went on in Obedience to the Motion of the Spirit of God to the Town Rippon and there I was moved to be a Signe of the Downfall of Babilons Priests and Professors And when I came there I girded Sackcloth upon my Loynes and was to go bare-headed And thus the Word of the Lord came unto me This is a Rebellious People they will not hear my Word saith the Lord They have rejected my Servants and slighted those whom I sent unto them Therefore have I sent thee to be a Signe unto them Fear not go on and prosper And I was moved to take up a Lamentation over them Alas your Calamity is coming and your Day is almost spent and the Just Judgements of the Lord are near to be executed Thus I was made to go about the Market in Mourning over them till I came near to the Masse-house called a Church where I was made to be a sign of their Fall lying for severall houres upon the Ground with a Stone under my Head giving my back to the Smiter and my Cheek to him that pulled off the Hair and Hundreds of People pressed about me yet the Lord sweetly preserved me that I received no hurt and I was moved to Lye the most part of one Day But the People that were Moderate and Tender were much reached the Witness of God being much raised in them was made to say There is great work to be done And after I had finished my Testimony I had Great Peace So Blessed are they that know the Commands of Christ and keep them and are willing to follow him where ever he goeth if it be to the laying down of the Life such shall find it again I can say that Scripture was fulfilled in me for it was as death unto me till I was given up to do the will of God in that service but after I was given up the burthen was light And so it is For the Way of the Lord is delightfull to all the Faithfull and Obedient So all sober people consider your Wayes and while you have time prize it and turn your minds to within to the pure Light of Christ which reveales things to come to all them that abide in it yea the Secrets of the Lord are with them that fear him and the Lord revealing this unto me it lay upon me for to give it forth that it might do its service to whom it is sent that people may know that the Lord hath raised up Prophets in this Day to warn the people of the evill that is coming upon them who live in Pride covetousness Envy and Wrath and Cruelty these be fruits of the corrupt Tree And as your Minds are kept to Gods pure Witness you will see your selves whether you be but in the Profession or you be in the possession So nothing will stand you instead in the Day of Gods Tryall but the Life it self R.S.
