All whoredoms drunkenness and Oaths in these are thy delight And all that God and good men loaths is pleasant in thy sight Oh! England do not so forget God's mercies towards thee A little time is left thee yet that happie thou mayst be If thou dost suddenly repent and from thy sins depart Embrace God's truth which he hath sent and it will change thy heart But if thou stubbornly go on yet hear what I do say The Lord will not let thee alone but he will bring a day Of bitter howling over thee in which thou shalt lament The time which can't recalled be that then thou mayst repent Against thee then God will reveal his wrath shal thee destroy In his displeasure with thee deal then perish shal thy joy For with strange plagues sword famine the Lord will with thee plead Yea then thus he will examine thee suddenly with dread Oh Land thou fruitful thou shalt pine thy Cities must decay Thy people proud who are so fine their glory shal away Oh London great shal be thy wo who shal lament thy case For in thy streets 〈…〉 grow God will thee so debase For thy oppression and thy pride for thy backsliding state For that the truth thou dost deride and goodness thou dost hate For that thou dost God's servants beat imprison and misuse The simple-hearted thou dost threat and innocent abuse Religion now with thee is vain Idolatry hath place Lukewarmness is imbrac'd again and all that may disgrace God and his truth Christ and his Lambs it may be found in thee And all that can increase truths bands by wickedness is free Who is opprest save righteous men who in vile prisons lie Arise O God for these things then yea loud now is the crie Of thine Elect in every place How long Lord Holy True Wilt thou not hasten on thy pace against the wicked Crew Yea this I say let all awake the day is very near In which God will in vengeance shake the Earth that all may fear Let Kings and Judges now be wise let all men soon repent Let sinners from their rest arise the night is now far spent The great day of the Lord 's at hand who shal abide his ire Or who before him then shal stand who is devouring fire Then Kings and Captains bond and free shall at his presence quake Then all into dark holes would flee when he the Earth shal shake Then in the ragged Rocks and Caves you 'l seek a place to hide Who use God's People worse then slaves then they not you 'l abide Even then when Earth in fire shal burn and Elements melt with heat When heavens like scrowls away shal turn God's anger then shall threat Because his patience then shal cease to all his enemies And onely judgments shal encrease to all Eternities Where gnashing teeth with weeping cries for evermore shal be To such as do God's truth despise and follow vanities Oh now dear suffering friends rejoice Redemption will not stay From us who have made Christ our choice before the evil day When Prisons Sword Gallows and Fire shal compass us about He will help us when in the mire and guide us when we doubt All tender Friends I dearly greet you in the Lord of Life And in his patience which is sweet fare well where is no strife Yea in that Love which suffereth long for ever let us dwel And in God's Truth let us be strong in this I say farewel The last day of the 4th month 1662.
