Once more A VVARNING To Thee O ENGLAND But more perticularly to the Inhabitants of the City of BRISTOL Amos Chap. 6. Vers 1 3 4 5 6 7. Wo to them that are at ease in Zion ye that put far away the Evil Day and cause the Seat of Violence to come near that lye upon Beds of Ivory and stretch themselves upon their Couches and eat the Lambs out of the Flocks and the Calves out of the midst of the Stall that Chaunt to the sound of the Viol and invent to themselves Instruments of Musick like David that drink Wine in Bowles and anoynt themselves with the cheif Oyntments but they are not grieved for the Afflictions of Joseph therefore now shall they go Captive with the first that go Captive and the Banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed Printed in the Year 1683. A Warning to England c. NOtwithstanding many Warnings in the true love of God have been sent to thee O Nation of England from the highest to the lowest yet once more in the tender Love of God is my heart opened for thy Everlasting Welfare and Prosperity that so the day of Gods Judgments may not overtake you at unawares And thee O City of Bristol in perticuler for thy ●nhabitants have greatly provoked the Lord against them and without they do speedily return unto the Lord with true and unfeigned Repentance the Wrath of God will break forth upon thee and there shall be none able to deliver thee from the Stroak of his Hand of what he hath decreed to bring upon thee for thy Sins have reached unto Heaven and thy Abomination stands as a great Record against thee for some of thy Inhabitants have committed no less Evil then Great Rebellion against the God of Heaven in that they have not only rejected but also despised the Appearance of Christ in themselves and others who is come and comeing to Overturn Overturn and Overturn till he come whose right it is to take unto himself his great Power and Reign in every Conscience according to the Promise of God in Psal 2. 8. Ask of me and I shall give thee the Heathen for thy Inheritance and the uttermost parts of the Earth for thy Possession O therefore be ye warned you Great Men of the Earth from the highest to the lowest what Laws and Decrees you make and execute against the Lords Innocent People whom you have nothing against but in matter of Worship to our God as Daniels Enemys had no other cause who drawed in the King by their Flatterys pretending Honour for him to fulfil their hearts Lust and so caused him to Seal the Decree against Daniel which made the Kings heart sorrowful but mark what became of them that laid the Snare privily to destroy the Innocent for the Snare that they had laid for him became a Pit of Destruction to them and the Kings Eyes were opened to see who was his greatest Friends and could do no less then testifie That Daniels God was the Lord of Lords and king of kings and hath all Power in Heaven and Earth in his Hand O therefore Fear and Tremble before the Great God of Heaven and Earth whose Almighty power is able to dash you in pieces like a Potters Vessel and to cast you as Dung upon the Face of the Earth and give your Flesh to the Fouls of the Air for asuredly the God of Daniel and of Shadrach Meshach and Abednego is our God and his Arm is not at all shortned that it cannot Save nor his Ear heavy that it cannot Hear but he will asuredly hear the Cry of the Oppressed and will deliver us in his own appointed time as he did Israel of Old for he is a God hearing Prayer and to whom every Knee must Bow O therefore take Warning you Inhabitants of this Nation of England before the day of your Visitation be quite over for without speedy Repentance be found in thee the overflowing Scourge will asuredly pass through thee as it did over Jerusalem of Old For what Sins were there committed in her that are not found in thee at this day for they pleaded highly for the Law and the Prophets and had the Scriptures of Truth and said Had they been in the dayes of their Fore-Fathers they would not have killed the Prophets yet being ignorant of what the Prophets testified of in the Scriptures of Truth concerning Christ they Reviled him and Despised him and put him to Death notwithstanding he turned them to the Holy Scriptures and bid them Search them for they are they said he that testifie of me but you will not come to me that you may have Life and he also said That he was not come to destroy the Law nor the Prophets but to fulfil them And he was the end of the Law for Righteousness sake to all that did believe in him and to as many as did believe in his Name in that day to them he gave Power to become Sons Daughters of the most high God established his second Covenant in them according to his Promise by writing his Law in their hearts and putting his Truth in their Inward parts and so they were no more under the Law but under Grace and for this end was the Gospel Preached that Sin might be condemned in the Flesh that we might be justified in the Spirit The Law of the Spirit of Life which Christ Jesus our Lord is setting up in the Hearts of his People is beyond the outward Law for thereby he purifieth the Conscience and makes it void of Offence towards God Man it is beyond the Law of Moses which the Jews appeared so strickt for which was Gods Ordinance in its time till Christ came who is full of Grace and Truth to put an end to Sin and finish Transgression and bring in everlasting Righteousness and set up his everlasting Government in his People of which there is to be no end and those that do live under his Government can do no less then Fear God and Honour the King giving unto God that which is his and to the King that which is his but as pertaining to the Conscience it is the King of Heavens Prerogative alone to sit upon his 〈◊〉 in every one of our Hearts and to rule and reign there and to lead and guide us in his Counsel that after we have obeyed him in all his Commandments he may bring us unto Glory and therefore we dare not bow to any other Worship but the Spiritual Worship that Jesus spake of to the Woman of Samaria when he found her out there in her Ignorance by Jacobs Well whose Meat and Drink it was to Preach the Everlasting Gospel which is the Power of God to Salvation was to the poor Woman that she might be an Instrument in his hand to go Preach unto her Neighbours to call them unto him that they might hear him themselves is the same Christ that we do invite
