A WARNING TO THE INHABITANT'S OF THE EARTH. But more especially to those who say they believe in the Nameof the Lord Jesus Christ, with all those that in the simplicity of their hearts, and tender desires towards God, are seeking the Kingdom of Heaven, (in several Forms, and divers Observations) with their faces thitherwards; The Lord has opened his bowels of Love and tender compassion (through me) towards you all; And these are the words that are laid upon me to give fo●●●, that in the Name, Fear, Dread and Power of the Living God, they may be Read amongst you. He that can receive them let him. HEar, Fear, Dread, before the Living God, who hath laid it upon me, to warn you all, and all that in tenderness make mention of his Name, To Hast, hast, hast, out of Spiritual Sodom and Egypt, to the City of the Living God, Christ Jesus the Rock of Ages; For the Field is white unto Harvest, and the Everlasting God hath given a sharp instrument (Power) into the Hand of his Angel, to cut down the Wheat and the Tares together; And the Wheat he is gathering into his Arms, into his Bosom, into the Power of his Love; But the Tares he is bundeling up in bundles, Yea in great bundles (Mind that) and casting them from him. He that hath an Ear let him hear what the Spirit saith. Again all people Prepare, prepare, prepare, for the day of ●●e Lord God is at hand, the Great and terrible Day of the Lord is even as it were at the door, ready to enter in, wherein all Professors of God, Christ, and the Scriptures of Truth must be tried, whether they Worship the Living God in Spirit, and in Truth Yea or Nay? For now the bare profession of his Name in words and outward show will no longer serve your turns; Not any thing in this day of Trial will stand you in stead, but that which will stand in, and abide the Fire, Fire within and Fire without. The Word of God was as a Fire in my Breast, till I was made willing to give forth this Paper: Yea when I refused to write, I was charged with Disobedience. The People of God must be tried as by Fire: And if Judgement begin at the House of God, what will become of the Wicked, the Persecutors, those that make a mock at sin, and of those that forget God? Woe is me, woe is me, Who is able to stand in this Day of Trial? The very remembrance of it breaks me often into Tears, I am ready to Faint, Yea I am ready to Faint, and but that my sure hope is in the Living God, I might rather wish that I had never been Born, then live to see that Day; Alack, alack, I cannot abide that Day of Trial, unless the Living (who doth strengthen by his Love, and support by his Power) God therein support me. The remembrance of it is so terrible, that I am even ready to say (But that I believe it is the Lords pleasure, that such a Day shall come upon the Earth; not only to try all Professions and Professors, and to cleanse the Land of evil doers, but also to deliver his Seed out of Bondage, and his Lambs and Little Ones out of the Hands of their Oppressors) Lord if it be thy Will (let this Cup) or Day of Trial pass from me; Oh the remembrance of it melts my Heart often into Tears, often when I do it remember, I do exceedingly Fear and Tremble. What? Has not the Enemies of God's Truth intents to destroy the Lambs, Children, and Servants of the most high God: Surely it was in their Hearts to destroy the Heir that the inheritance might be theirs; Therefore has the Lord laid it upon me to warn all Professors, and people to meet him speedily by repentance. Oh turn, turn, turn, from the evil of your ways, and repent and bring forth Fruit worthy of amendment of Life, the Lord my God desires not the death of a sinner, but rather that he should turn from his wickedness and live; Oh repent, repent, repent, whiles you have a day, for after death there is no repentance in the Grave. Again I say unto you, this is the Day of the Lords Power, wherein he is risen and arising to plead with all men. Again I say unto you, this is the Day of the Lords Power wherein he is risen and arising A Light in every man, and none from him (Christ Jesus the Son of God, the Heir of his Father's Kingdom) can shun, neither can they from him (the Light) hid themselves, go where they will, He is present in all Places. This is the Condemnation that Light is come into the World, and men loved (and do love) Darkness rather than Light, because their deeds were, and are, evil. Verily, verily, Again I say unto you, this is the Day wherein my God, the Omnipotent, Powerful, Wonderful, One, only Wise God, is risen and arising (more terrible than an Army with Banners; More valiant and strong than a Giant refreshed with strong Wines; Yea more fierce than a She Bear bereft of her Whelps, or any hungry Lion that utters his voice after his Prey) who hath given Power to his beloved Son Christ Jesus (The true Light that lighteth every man that cometh into the World) To Summon all men (to the ends of the earth) to appear before him (The Light) and those that will not that he (Christ Jesus the True Light) shall rule over them, slain they must be by the Word of his Power: Great and terrible will that day be, to all those who will not submit to Christ Jesus the Light in them; I say unto you, this is the Higher Power Christ Jesus the True Light, to which every tongue must confess, and every knee must bow; All Power in Heaven and in Earth is given unto him; Who can his Power resist? Given forth in the Year 1661. By me who Loves and Fears the living God, and is made to tremble at his Powerful Word. Known by Name, Geo. Watkinson. THE END. London, Printed for Thomas Simmons.
