this is a blessed estate which the ●ighteous doth inherit but as for the wicked they are as stubble throughly dried and the Word of the Lord is as a fire and they must be burned up and be shut without the gates of the City where the Lamb treads the Wine-press of Gods wrath So in the fear of the Lord repent and amend thy life least God sweep thee away into the pit of utter destruction out of which there is no redemption Oh London the Lord God of Heaven and of Earth he is burdened with thy vain Religion who maketh a profession of God and of Christ and yet liveth in lust and vanity pride and vain-glory in swearing and curfing and yet is covered with a covering which the Lord will take away O how doth gluttony abound in thee rioting and sporting in the day time thou knowst not how almost to go along the streets thou art so proud and haughty and the poor in thee are ready to famish for whose estate and condition my heart is pained within me old and young blind and lame lieth in thy streets and at thy Masse-houses doors crying for bread who are almost naked for want of cloathing and fainting for want of bread and yet thou canst passe by them in thy gaudy apparrel and our-stretched neck with thy face decked with black spots which are the marks of the Whore the Beast and the False Prophet which is not the attire of Sarah Abrahams wife Thou knowest not what to eat nor what to drink nor wherewith to be cloathed thy mind is so vain and thy Religion is so aiery and if any of these that are blind or lame or destitute of a being asketh of thee a penny or farthing thou sayest thou hast it not for them O!

tremble and quake before the Lord ye sons of Sodom and Daughters of Gomorrah who doth inhabit this mortal City which doth-corrupt and will die away your glory the Lord will bring to nothing therefore keep to the light which condemns you that an entrance into the immortal Kingdome you may find Woe be unto all thy Usurers who hoardeth up the unrighteous mammon and doth not lend to the poor and distressed and saith they have it not for them the rust of their money in the Day of Judgement shall rise up against them and Gods swift Witness in their own hearts shall condemn them which lives for ever therefore all ye Usurers Soothsayers and Star-gazers that inhabiteth this place and elsewhere repent for Gods plagues and Judgements is to be executed upon you and upon all that lendeth an ear unto you you Star-gazers and Astrologers who can discern the face of the Sky but doth not know the signs of the coming of the Son of Man whose glorious appearance will discover your dark works that you act in the dark night and tho night shall passe away and you shall know a day of Judgement and see him whom you have pierced of whom the Sun Moon and Stars bears testimony and keepeth their station with God therefore its good for you to know the Rod of God to instruct you in his path and to lead you to his Kingdome and this is the desire of my soul that you may all inhabit peace and rest with the King of Heaven and Earth So know that your day of visitation is now the Lord doth hold forth unto you mercy and peace therefore imbrace it whilst it is tendred unto you least you be shut out and
