ANOTHER TRUMPET SOUNDED In the Ears of the Inhabitants of England, RULERS, PRIESTS & PEOPLE;  
That they might be awakened and raised out of the grave of Sin and Trespasses, which so long they have lain dead in; That while you have time you might hearken to the Voice of CHRIST JESUS, and obey Him who is the Light of the World, who is come, and calling you out of your Sins, that you might be saved from them; and cease to do Evil, and learn to do well, before your Day be quite over, and the LORD's Wrath kindle against you, so as there will be no remedy.  
Written in tender Love to you all by JAMES PARK, a Servant of Truth and Righteousness.

Another Trumpet sounded, etc.  
OH People of England, that have been talking much of Christ's Coming and Kingdom: He is come a Light into the World; and to them that have sat in darkness, and under the region of the shadow of death, hath the true Light shined, and shineth forth out of the darkness, doing the works in and for them that believe in it, which none else can do; rooting-out the vain thoughts and imaginations, and what the Devil hath wrought in the heart, Christ's appearance and coming is to destroy that: and this is the glorious effect of Christ's coming, to purge that out of the heart in which he takes no pleasure; to purge out the filthiness of the flesh, and the lustings after evil things: for the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and warreth against the Spirit; and all who believe in Christ jesus the Light, and wait in it, a spiritual warring against the flesh gins to arise in them: for a man's enemies lie near, even the fleshly part in him, so a spiritual warfare almost none pass through before they be overcomers of Sin, or know the Devils works destroyed in them: before any man be a conqueror he must be armed with the Armour of Light, which is God's Armour, that must be put on, and then people are fit to war against Sin, this deadly enemy of their own house: But most people remain altogether strangers to this spiritual warfare, because they come not to believe in CHRIST the Light, and so never come to know the house of Saul, or the deadly enemy that lies near them destroyed, and yet will talk of the coming of Christ, and what he did for them at jerusalem without them; and that they are justified (in their wicked works) by the death of Christ, though they never knew the variance begun in them against the flesh, but have cried Peace to themselves in the flesh and deeds of darkness; but Christ said, I come not to send Peace on Earth, but a Sword: and this none knows but those who are turned to the Light of Christ within them, which shows them Sin, and that which will cut it down, even all the roots and branches of it, and sets a man at variance against it. And thus is the Word of the Lord known as a Sword to cut down sin, and break man's peace in sin and transgression: and herein is Christ's coming witnessed, who comes not to send Peace on Earth, but a Sword, and to set a man at variance against himself, against all his lovers, against all his self-actings and self-righteousness; and hereby doth he work that which none else can do; he sets a man against himself, to lay down self, and to deny self and his own will, and they are Disciples indeed: others who love self and their evil deeds, and will lay down nothing for Christ's sake, they may be Disciples in words and in tongue, but none in deed and in truth, but those only who can leave all, and deny all for Christ's sake; as Christ said, Except a man deny himself, and take up the daily-Cross, he cannot be my Disciple. The Cross must be learned, subjected unto, and taken up: for while people despise the Cross of Christ, they are not his Disciples indeed; whatever they profess him in words, in works they deny him; and, he that would save his Life shall lose it, but be that will lay down his Life for Christ's sake shall save it.  
So ye People of England, come to Christ the Light of the World, and own his appearance and coming to break your false peace in your sins; and your agreement with Death, and covenant with Hell, it shall not stand before him, he will disannul it, who by Fire and Sword is come to plead with all flesh, and to break your false fleshly peace, which your Leaders have begotten you into, and cried to you while you are in your sins, and not in a true variance against your sin, not in a true war against sin, or striving against it, but rather into an ease in it, out of which you must be brought, if ever you come to have peace with God and be saved from your sins; Therefore come away out of Self, out of Self-love, out of your own wills. O people, return while you have time, out of folly and transgressions, out of the Devils works, and say not within yourselves, nor one to another, that you are saved by the Death of Christ, while you are in your Drunkenness, Whoredoms, Covetousness, Lying, Cheating, Swearing, and Cursed-speaking and Dissembling with God and man; for these are all the Devils works: And Christ being known a Saviour, he saves out of Sin, the Devils works, and destroys the Devil and all his works; and he died for that very end, and he riseth in all them that fear him for that very end, to bring down the Man of Sin. Thou Drunkard, Christ died to bring thee off thy Drunkenness; thou Swearer, to bring thee to fear an Oath; and thou Liar, to bring thee off thy Lying; and thou Covetous one, to bring thee off thy Covetousness; and all you Adulterers and Adulteresses, to bring you off the Lust of the Eye, and the Lust of the flesh, and your Whoredoms and Uncleanness; and you Proud and Lofty ones, who are lifted up in Pride and the Fashions of the World, O lay it away; for Christ who was meek and low of heart, of whom you ought to learn, and who is come a light in you, comes to bring down every high thought, and all that which is lifted up over the pure Light in you, which shows you your sins, your pride of life, your high-mindedness, being out of the fear of God, and in rebellion against the true Light, wherewith you are enlightened, which is manifest to destroy that which is contrary to God; Oh be not stiffnecked but hearken to the Voice of Christ Jesus, the only way to God, whose way is out of sin: Thou Drunkard and profane person, dost thou not know the Drunkard shall not inherit God's Kingdom, nor the Swearer, nor Liar, nor Covetous Worldling, nor dissembling Hypocrite, nor the Adulterer, nor Unclean Person, nor the Proud, whose King the Devil is. O People, while you have time think of this, you that forget God, that are wanton upon the Earth, and that nourish your hearts as in a day of slaughter: it's no marvel to see the Lord, who is just in all his ways, and righteous in all his judgements, strike down many thousands in a short time, by his destroying Angel that is gone forth to smite the Earth, and to shorten the days of the Wicked. Oh Earth, hear; thou Nation of England be awakened and warned, for a great Destruction and Calamity is begun in thee, because of thy great wickedness and sin against God, because of thy Oaths, Drunkenness, Covetousness and Lying, Cursed speaking and Whoredoms, and Pride of life, and Persecution of the Innocent which hath been found in thee, the Land is coming into a Desolation, and the Destruction from the Almighty hangs over it, and hastens to cut off the wicked Persecuters of the Innocent People that fear God, and have good will towards all men.  
If you repent not, O you Inhabitants and People of England, from the highest to the lowest, that have had any hand in Persecuting, Imprisoning and Banishing them that fear the Lord, that by you in derision have been called Quakers, who made themselves a prey by departing from Iniquity, and the great wickedness that abounds in the Land; know ye assuredly that Judgement is towards you. O ye Rulers, Priests and People, consider your ways and your do, whereby you have incurred and brought upon yourselves and the Nation the great displeasure of God; and how should the Lord now plead with you but in his Wrath, seeing you have slighted the tenders of his love and long-suffering towards you? Did not the Lord visit you, and give you time and space to repent? Did not the Lord by his Servants warn you in time, and told you what Persecuting of an innocent People would bring upon you? Are you not left without excuse, if God now break forth in a way of Indignation and Judgement against you? Is it not just? Can you say, God did not not call you, and visit, and warn you? Nay verily, the Lord hath called you time after time, and the everlasting Gospel hath been sounded in your ears, Oh People of England, more than any other Nation or Kingdom whatsoever. But O you Rulers, Priests and People, you have not answered the Love of the Lord, by breaking off from your sins, but you remain in your sins; you have not obeyed the Voice of the Lord, nor answered when the Lord hath called you out of your sins, to save you from your sins; he that hath shed his Blood a ransom for all, and tasted death for every man, you have done, and are doing, evil in his sight; and none of you reputes you of your evil deeds, saying, What have I done? but goes on in evil, and drinks up Iniquity as an Ox drinks up Water: Therefore now is the fire of God's Jealousy kindled against you, after a long day of Mercy; and they that have sinned out their day, by walking despitefully against the Spirit of Grace, and the Visitation of God's Love, the Indignation of the Lord they must feel; and the Lord will laugh at their calamity, and bring fearfulness upon them, which all the force and strength of Armies and Ships cannot keep off.  
And O ye Magistrates of England, who live in sin, envying that which is good, and persecuting them that do well; God hath visited you, and warned you in great love and tenderness, but you have not harkened unto, nor owned the Lord in his way of visiting you, but disregarded, and have stopped your ears against those whom God stirred up by his Spirit to visit you, and warn you of your ungodly ways and practices; therefore must you feel trouble, wrath and Judgement from God. And remember you are once more warned to take heed how you partake with any in persecuting of them that fear the Lord, and are real wellwishers of your Souls.  
Oh beware of following a multitude to do evil, and sin against God, for all who are partakers any way with Persecutors in their fin, mast assuredly drink of their Plagues, Woes, and Misery, which is come and coming upon this Land; and some Persecutors God will make signal Examples of his Wrath, because they have gone in the way of Cain, that wicked one, that slew his Brother for the Righteous works he did. O People, slow of heart to believe what the Prophets saw and spoke, though you will talk of their words, touching Christ's coming into the World to save sinners, but you witness not Christ's coming to put an end to sin in you, and so you perish in your sins. Oh! why will ye die in your sins? Oh sinful Nation, a Seed of evil doers, why will you not hear the Law of God, the Light of Christ, what it speaketh in you? Why do not you come to Christ, in whom is Life, and this Life is the Light of men, which you are to believe in, that you might be saved from your sins, and come out of all your dead Ways, Worships, and Sacrifices, and vain Traditions, which profit you not at all, but keep you in death; herein you long have lain out of the holy pure Life. Christ is come, and hath appeared in you, that you might be partakers of Life, and therefore desires not your death, but rather that you might live, and turn from your sins, unto him that cleanseth from all sin, that you might know a life out of sin, out of the fleshly lustings that war against the Soul; and as you come into the Life of God, the lusts of the flesh, the lust of the Eye, and the pride of Life will die in you; and Life and Salvation you must witness through death, by keeping to that which slays the old man with his deeds; the Lord hath called you again and again, but how have you stopped your ears, and closed your eyes, and rebelled against his Light? The Lord hath stretched forth his hand all the day long, and Wisdom hath cried in your streets, but you have not regarded, but slighted God's Message to you, and his Arm And Wisdom to gather you out of the crooked ways, and by-paths; and many years hath God preached Repentance from dead works to you, that ye might turn from the evil of your ways, and cease to do evil, and learn to do well: But alas, how have you despised the Messengers of the Lord, whom he sent unto you to preach Repentance, and to warn you to fly from the Wrath to come? but you have not brought forth fruits to Repentance, but have hardened your hearts against them, Stocking, Stoning, Whipping, Imprisoning, Banishing, and despitefully using them. And oh foolish people, how have many of you mocked, abused, and shamefully entreated God's People, and peculiar Children, when in pure obedience to the Lord they were sent amongst you, as Sheep amongst Wolves? How have they been haled and beaten in your Cities, Towns, and Markets, and the Priests and Hypocritical Professors have been chief in this work? also instigating poor blind people to beat and hale out of Steeple-houses, them that came in God's fear and dread to pronounce Woes, Vengeance, & Plagues upon them that had gotten the Sheep's clothing, but inwardly were ravening Wolves, and upon them that said fair, but did not; and now hath the Lord made them of the Synagogue of Satan, that said, They were Jews, and were not, but did lie in their hearts, and dissembled with God and Man; and with the Priests God is pleading, and will yet more and more plead with them in his Wrath, and they shall have no cover nor cloak for their sins, because Christ is come, and manifest in our day, doing the works which none else can do, in and for all them that believe in him; and the chief Priests in this day, as of old, have appeared against his Work, and coming in ten thousands of his Saints; and how have they many ways sought to deform God's Work and Image in his People? How many false slanders and false reports have they invented and raised, seeking and endeavouring to render the begotten of God odious, and Truth to be error? And how have they put Light for Darkness, and Darkness for Light; sweet for bitter, and bitter for sweet?  
Oh people, how have you been cheated by those you call your Ministers and Leaders? How have you been led into error, and kept in error by them? And how full of lightness are they? And how are they like to be instrumental to beget you out of lightness, lying and vanity, who are in it themselves? And how are they like to beget you out of pride and covetousness, who are in it themselves? And how are they like to beget you out of Whoredom and Swearing, who are in it themselves? And these are Ministers God never sent, that profit not the people at all, but keep them always learning, but laden with corruption, and led away with divers lusts; Are they not Ministers of Antichrist, that keep people ever learning, but never able to come to the knowledge of Truth, which would save, & set them free from their sins. O people, slow of heart to believe what the Lord hath spoken by his Prophets and Servants unto you, beseeching you in Christ's stead to come out of your sins, that you might be reconciled to God, that you might unload yourselves of that heavy and dark burden of sin, and leave your sins, and forsake your sins, and break off from your sins by timely Repentance. Oh poor shattered people, I do believe you have not all sinned out your day, though certainly many have, but there is large love and bowels of pity yerning in my heart towards you: Therefore to you I call, while it is to day, hear the Voice of Christ Jesus, hear, that your Souls may live; hear, that you may come out of the Grave of sin and trespasses where you are dead, that you may come out of the way of evil men, and not walk in the way of the ungodly, nor any longer stand in the way of sinners; for that brings death, and keeps you in death. O sit no longer in the seat of the scornful and mockers, lest your bonds be made strong, so strong in iniquity, that you will never be able to get out. Oh people come out of Hell, come out of the Graves, come out of Death, be warned and awakened, stand up from the Dead, where you long have lain asleep, that Christ you may feel a Light to your feet, and a Lantern to your path, and then he will lead you out of the way of the Wicked, and the ways of Death, the ways of Hell, if ye harken to him; ye that have been at ease from your Youth, at ease in vain thoughts that lodge in you, at ease in bad wicked words, in cursed speaking, swearing and lying; The Lord is coming to take your peace and ease from you, and to bring terror and perplexity upon you; God's hand is lifted up against you, Vials, Vials, Plagues, Plagues; Woe, woe, to the Inhabitants of the Earth, & the Sea, and all the wicked that do wickedly, on them will the Lord pour forth the Vials of his Wrath. He hath begun dreadfully to warn thee, O England, of the evil of thy ways, by Sword and other Judgements, to the cutting off many of thine Inhabitants; and yet how few in thee take notice of the Hand of the Lord which is lifted up against thee? Hadst thou harkened to the Counsel of God, through his Servants and Messengers, which he sent unto thee several years ago, foretelling what woe would befall thee if thou wentest on in thy sins, which if thou hadst harkened unto, surely these Miseries, Plagues and Calamities, that are come and coming, would not have come upon thee; but now in way of Judgement is the Lord pleading with them that would not own his hand of Love; and misery after misery shall overtake them, unless they speedily repent and turn to the Lord God. Oh! do you not see the hand of the Lord, which is lifted up to smite and cut down the wicked workers? Surely you profane wicked ones, you Hypocrites and Dissemblers, you shall see it, and feel it more and more, if you repent not, and come out of your wickedness, which abounds in the Nation as in Sodom; and if the mighty works which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom and Gomorah, they would have repent of their wickedness.  
Truly when I consider thy sins, O England, thy great Abominations wherewith thou hast grieved the Lord, and kindled his displeasure against thee, I could expect nothing but utter ruin and destruction from the Almighty to come upon thee and thy Inhabitants, only this stays me in hope, knowing God hath raised a small remnant of Righteous Ones, that are vexed with the filthiness of thine Inhabitants, and their wicked Conversations; if the Nation be not wholly ruined, it's for their sakes, whom you, O people of England, have sought to cast out and banish from amongst you for Christ's sake; but only for their sakes, I have no ground in me to believe, but that great misery, yea even utter ruin would come upon this Nation and People. You have been so wicked and stiffnecked against the Lord, that it may be the Lord will not permit the Righteous Persons amongst you to interceded for you; but that in this day of calamity the Righteous Man must only deliver his own Soul, but not be able to deliver any of you that have sold yourselves to work wickedness; it may be, if Noah, or Daniel, or any of the Apostles or Ministers of Christ should intercede the Lord for you, yet the Lord will not be heard of them on your behalf, so as to turn away his Wrath and Judgement which is towards you, O People of England. So you that have not sinned out your day, be awakened out of your sins, be no longer partaker with the wicked in sin, nor at ease in your sins, but come to that which condemns sin, and destroys the Devil's works, that you may be saved and be hid in the day of the Lords Wrath, that you may trust in the Lord, and stay yourselves upon the God of Jacob, who is arising in his might and Power to punish the wicked for all their ungodly deeds which they have done, and all the hard speeches which they have spoken against him and his People; and he will sweep away the refuge of lies; and he will render vengeance on all them that know him not, and that obey not the Gospel; yea, he will pour fury on his Adversaries, and just recompense on his Enemies, and all that are at ease in sin, and waxed wanton on the Earth; terror shall shortly take hold on them, and fearfulness shall surprise the Hypocrite; and they shall call to the Mountains and Hills to cover them, and hid them from the Wrath of the Lamb, and shall not be able to dwell with devouring burning, when the Lord appears in his terrible Majesty, in a way of fierce Wrath, Judgement, and fiery Indignation.  
Therefore, O people, take warning if it be not too late; to them that have sinned out their day it is: but for their sakes that have not quite sinned out their day is this written, that they may be awakened, and turn to the Lord at his reproof, before their day be over, and God's Spirit leave striving with them, and the door of Mercy be shut against them, so as they shall find no place of Repentance nor entrance into the Kingdom of Heaven, though they cry, Lord, Lord, open unto us!  
THE END.
