d'une vie si chretienne qu'on ne luy sçauroit rien imputer á qui Dieu a fait de Graces si extraordinaires que je ne pense pas que depuis plusieurs siecles on ait oui parler de semblables me donn● un depôt cachete me dit le tems que je devois l'ouvir Il avoit au commencement de cet êcrit O Roy un plus grand Roy que Toy te commande songe aut conte que tu dois rendre plutôt que tu ne penses Et a fin O Angleterre si tu te rends complice du crime Tu auras part á la peine L'orage est furieux rempli d'horreur de carnage Tachez á le prevenir á fin que votre Contree soit une Contree de paix une Isle fortunée un jardin d Eden C'est le souhait de Votre tres obeissant Serviteur Saint Jean Guettes Israel c'est ici le tems de veiller de prier C'est le tems de cries á plein gosier de ne se point epargner sonnez du Cornet en Sion Reveillez les Peuples endormis Insistez en tems hors tems Ditez hardiment á Jerusalem qu'elle fe repente á fin qu'il y ait Paix pour elle non une souddain destruction Car le Tonnere a grondé An ADMONITION to the Christians of England HE must be very blind who perceives not that the Wrath of GOD hath long since been kindled against all parts almost of Europe so that he seems resolved to destroy all Flesh again as it were with a New Deluge since it is but too true that they have abandon'd themselves to all kind of Wickedness But the Indignation of the Almighty hath begun to manifest it self more especially against those who are called Protestants And by these means ought we to have been induced to Repentance and the Reformation of our Manners But Heaven and Earth are Witness that we have not so much as known or well considered What it is to afflict our Souls and amend our Lives Hence it is that the Judgments of God which we so little regarded though the Decree hath again and again brought forth so terribly have been daily more and more increasing This we in France have been made to see by Experience since we neglected the Admonitions which were given to us It is now twenty years and upwards since I received a Letter which admonished Me of Our approaching Miseries in France and the Means to prevent them Which were to call together the Governours of our Church and acquaint them that they should appoint a three days Fast in that Church which soever should first be attach'd by Process by our Enemies and they should see the Effects thereof But I neglected that Advice not knowing whence it came But abut ten years after when I understood that and saw the Event of much of that which was foretold I acquainted those Gentlemen with it But they regarded not what I said Which made the Consequence so sad There are now in England divers Ministers who were present when I shewed the Letter which was sent me The same Advice which was given to me was sent also to Madam Turene and to the Sieur Ruvigny and to Mr. Gache Minister of Charenton and to the Synod of Languedock And when the Author who sent these Admonitions understood that nothing was done thereupon he wrote thus to me Very unhappy is that Ship which being shaken in a grievous Storm the Mariners will not be roused even by a Child to pump out the Water which he sees running in till he be forced to cry out Every one shift for himself Wo to him who loves not our Lord Jesus and doth not carry the Divine Crucified One daily in his Heart About Eight or Nine years since a sudden stroke as of Thunder struck me down in the Day-time about Eight in the Morning according to three several Warnings thereof given to me three years before This was followed about six Weeks after by a Thunder in the Night Whereof I had also been admonished Whereupon I called up all who were in Bed in my House and we went into the Room where we used to have Prayers and there read the Scriptures While that was doing it Thundered under My Feet though the place was paved and upon a Rock We all heard the Noise of Thunder directly under Me who was at a distance from them though all in the same Room as loud as it used to be in the Air and for some time Yet we left not off our Reading the Scriptures They were terrible Claps and mysterious Presages and Forerunners of the Calamities which are ready to break out upon the Kingdoms of France and England There are in England several persons who were at my House when these things happened They understood not the Mystery of them but I am able to prove what I here declare About five or six years since when I was to leave the Countrey where I dwelt the Author of these Admonitions who lived so Christian a Life as none could blame and whom God had favoured with such extraordinary Graces as few I believe in several Ages have heard the like deposited with me a sealed Paper and told me the time when I should open it In the begitning were these words O King a greater King than thee commands or rules thee conside● of the Reckoning thou art to make sooner than thou thinkest And in the End O England if thou make thy self partaker in the Crime thou shalt take part in the punishment The Storm is violent full of Horror and Destruction Endeavour to prevent it that your Countrey may be a Countrey of Peace a Fortunate Island and a Garden of Eden Which is the hearty desire of Your most obedient Servant Saint Jean Postscript You who are Watchmen of Israel this is the time to Watch and to Pray this is the time to cry aloud and spare not Sound the Trumpet in Sion Awaken the sleeping People Be instant in season and out of seasor and speak boldly to Jerusalem that she repent that so Peace may be unto her and not sudden Destruction for the Thunder has already begun Archbishop USHER 's PREDICTION THe Year before he died being asked Whether he did believe that Great Persecution of the Church of God in England Scotland and Ireland of which he had spoken with great confidence many years before in time of great Peace to be past or yet to come He said That it was yet to come and that he did as confidently expect it as ever he had done adding That this sad Persecution would fall upon all the Protestant Churches of Europe And when it was answered It might be hoped that it might have been past in these Nations by reason of the Devastation and Bloodshed which had been in thé late Civil War He replied with a very serious and stern Look Fool not your self with such Hopes for I tell you All you have yet seen hath been but the Beginning of Sorrows to what is yet to come upon the Protestant Churches of Christ Who will e're long fall under a Sharper Persecution than ever yet has been upon them And therefore look you be not found in the Outward Court but a Worshipper in the Temple before the Altar For Christ will measure all those who profess His Name and call themselves His People and the Outward Worshippers he will leave out to be trodden down by the Gentiles The Outward Court is the Formal Christian whose Religion lies in performing the Out-side Duties of Christianity without having an Inward Life and Power of Faith and Love Uniting them to Christ And these God will leave to be trodden down and swept away by the Gentiles But the Worshippers within the Temple and before the Altar are those who do indeed worship God in Spirit and in Truth whose Souls are made his Temples and he is honoured and adored in the most inward Thoughts of their Hearts and they sacrifice their Lusts and vile Affections yea and their own Wills to him And these God will hide in the Hollow of his Hand and under the Shadow of his Wings And this shall be one great Difference between this last and all the other preceding Persecutions For in the former the most eminent and spiritual Ministers and Christians did generally suffer most and were most violently fallen upon but in this last Persecution these shall be preserved by God as a Seed to partake of that Glory which shall immediately follow and come upon the Church as soon as this Storm shall be over For as it shall be the Sharpest so it shall be the Shortest Persecution of them all and shall only take away the gross Hypocrites and Formal Profissors but the true Spiritual Believers shall be preserved till the Calamity be overpassed To this I think 〈◊〉 P●rtinent 〈◊〉 Excellent Passage of his to the same Person concerning San●● 〈…〉 〈…〉 understand what Sanctification and the New Creature are It is no less than for a Man to be brought to an intire Resignation of his Will to the Will of God and to live in the offering up of his Soul continually in the flames of Love as a whole Burnt-Offering to Christ And how little are many of those who profess Christianity experimentally acquainted with this Work on their Souls Some Circumstances of the Persecution aforesaid are mentioned in the Printed Paper of his Predictions to which I refer the Reader But one there is not mentioned there or ever by him expresly that I have heard of viz. the Time Of which yet it may be observed that he seems in divers Discourses to have intimated it so as it must be now very near by telling some Persons viz. such as were ancient that they should not live to see it and others that they might that is by course of years and among others Judge Hale who had he been now living had been upwards of Eighty one Besides if the same was signified by the Thunder under-ground mentioned by Mr. St. Jean that seems to agree well with the Manner mentioned by the Archbishop

Harris in the Poultrey 1691.
