A WARNING from the Lord to the City and Nation, in Mercy to the People, to see if they will yet seek him.  
WAtch and Repent, Repent and turn to the Lord with Fear and Trembling, cease from all Evil, for the Lord is greatly at work amongst the Nations, and will yet bring the loftiness of Man low, and all Nations to bow and tremble before him, for distress of Nations is come, and yet coming as sure as the Lord hath both gently and terribly shook the Earth, and hath appeared yet and again for the Honour of his great Name, by his Judgements that are in the Earth; if the Inhabitants thereof would yet bow, in Mercy the Lord hath, I say, gently shook the Earth in our parts, as a Warning and Call to Repentance, and if there be not a repenting, the Spirit of the Lord will not always strive with Man, he will yet terribly shake the Earth, as he hath done in Nations abroad; the Vials of his Wrath is almost full, and the Angel of his Presence stands ready to pour them forth, therefore bow in Mercy, and come to a search, for the Lord will yet, and again try the Stand and Foundations of Men, and they that trust in the Lord, they shall see his great Salvation, but they that join with Babylon which is Confusion, thus saith the Lord, they must both fall together, and they shall be made a Scourge one to another, for the Lord is come, and yet coming to make War with the Beast and false Prophet, that would not that Christ should Reign in his peaceable Kingdom; and the deadly wound in the Head of the Beast shall not be healed in some, and the Lord hath warned and is warning all Nations, Kindred's, Tongues and People, that are joined in a Warlike Spirit, by his Judgements from his own Almighty Power and Arm, as he did when he gently shook the Earth, that all might come to see his Judgements in Mercy, and not partake of the mark of the Beast, which is Confusion, Bloodshed, Sin and Wickedness, which is the cause of Calamity upon Calamity: and how the Lord hath pleaded with this City, is yet in remembrance, the great Plague, when the cry was bring forth your Dead bring forth your Dead. And after that, our great City in Flames very dreadful to behold, and the Sword also which is not yet departed; and, it is much to be feared, will conclude with greater Sorrow than is yet seen, if there be not a speedy Care and Repentance. Go forth as Niniveh did, not such a Fast to smite with the Fist of wickedness, to the destruction of their fellow Creatures, but that they may be one in Love, for God is Love, and if not found in this, than the Lord is yet at work amongst the Rocks, and will lay desolate great and high Mountains, and as he hath done great and fenced Cities; and he is also at work at work amongst the Hills, and there will be no Hill too high for him, and he will yet cleave and rend the Rocks in sunder, and universally the vail of the Temple shall come to be rend, and Christ's peaceable Kingdom shall be set up, and all shall come to see him whom they have pierced, and they that stand upon great and high Mountains and Rocks will be cast down: and the little Stone which Daniel's Saw cut out of the Mountain without Hands, which should become a great Mountain, and fill the whole Earth; this little Stone will yet fall upon many till they are ground to Powder; and great will be yet the desolation that will be in the Earth, therefore, Oh Remember! The Angel of God's presence hath fled through the midst of Heaven, and gently shook the Earth, and we have felt it, and now the cry is, fear God, give glory to his Name, for the hour of his Judgement is come, and yet coming; fear him that made the Heavens and the whole Earth, the Sea and Fountains of Water, fear him, give glory to him, worship God in Spirit, watch and repent, for the Lords dreadful Judgements is at hand, and as we have felt his gentle stroke and warning, if there be not a speedy repenting, we shall feel as other Nations hath done his terrible stroke, for the Lord will yet visit again and again, till the displeasure of the Almighty is seen by the Sinners in Zion, and they come to obey our Lord Jesus Christ, whose Command is, love one another, that the Covenant of his precious Blood to them may not be shed in vain; for our Lord came not to destroy men's Lives, but to save them that obey and are willing to bow to him, in Mercy to themselves, and that his other Sheep may be gathered into the one fold in peace, to worship God in Spirit and in Truth; that his Israel may be comforted; to gather as many as obey the Truth, and so brought forth to shine as Lights to the whole World: But methinks I hear some say, who do you call Israel? To that I answer with my Soul's satisfaction, all they that fear God and work Righteousness shall be excepted, and are willing to cleanse their Hands from shedding of Blood, and keep themselves unspotted from the World, for the Blood that is shed in the Earth is displeasing the Lord, and a great account there is to give, for the creation of God in whom he hath breathed the Breath of Life, and Man thereby became a living Soul, and the Seed Christ is sown in them, and that Law written in their Hearts, that will be read against those that are instrumental and leading such poor Souls by thousands to destruction, and to destroy their Fellow Creatures, sheathing their swords in one another's Bowels, till the stink of their Camps comes up into their Nostrils, and for all this, there is no compassion as Man to Man, therefore the Lord by his Judgements, since the name Christian is doing one to another as the name Turk doth; therefore I say, the Lord by his Judgements is getting himself a Name amongst the Heathen, and such as know not God, shall be brought to know him that Rules by his invisible Arm and Strength, and those shall enter the Kingdom before many that have a name to live and are dead, and this word further is to all professions, under what name soever it may be; that is, whereas Men are making a distinction between Silver and Silver, and Coin and Coin, and in the end, both by their appointment accounted Reprobate, so that the best of their old Coin will be good for no more than as it is found in substance, so no more will the highest outside profession when it comes to be tried, for there is nothing can make a Man live to God, and be serviceable to Man, but that which stands in God's Power, which all the dwellers of the Earth shall come to be tried by, and they that are found too light, 
Jer 6.32  to be accounted as the Prophet saw in his day Reprobate Silver shall Men call them, therefore hasten, hasten; for your lives Backsliders and Hypocrates, although under never so large a profession and appearance to Men, that will not do nor go for Currant, but will be found Reprobate, as is the false Coin and diminished Silver, and that which hath been laid up for posterity is not now good, but as it is now found in substance and fineness, when come to a Trial, will fall short of that Riches it was laid up for, and too many are trusting in uncertain Riches, but the Lord hath many ways to work, and they that are trusting in such Riches the Lord can turn and overturn their Treasures, till he comes to reign in them whose right it is, and they come to be faithful, and also come to see him whom, they have and are piercing: Therefore this is the warning that every one come to a search in themselves, that the cause may be taken away, and the effect cease, that Calamity upon Calamity may not come, but that all may come to buy Milk and Honey without Money and without price, and then come to the Supper of the Lamb, and to drink of the new Wine of the Kingdom, and to taste of that Heavenly Banquet that is prepared for all those that is found worthy to enter the Kingdom in Peace, being made partakers of that pure Faith, that works by Love, for many Warnings hath the Lord sent in Mercy to this City and Nation, for his great Care, Love and Compassion is to them, and the Lord will be clear of you and his Servants will be clear also in that they deliver their Message faithfully, and this Remember, that many were invited to the Marriage Supper, but because of their other Business, being preferred before that of God, such were not found worthy, and the King he sent his Armies, and destroyed those Murderers, and for their unfaithfulness in not answering their call, burnt their City, because the Wedding was ready, but they that were bidden were not worthy to enter the Kingdom in peace, (therefore Backsliders under what Name soever have a care,) and the King sent his Servants into the Highways, to gather together as many as they found, and the Wedding was furnished with Guest, but he that had not on the Wedding Garment (which is something in his Heart to offer to the Lord of the Supper) he was Speechless, and bound Hand and Foot, and cast into utter Darkness, and this is lamentable, many are called but through Disobedience, which is their loss, few is chosen, that when the Midnight cry comes, such as have not Oil in their Lamps, the Door will be shut against them, and they not be able to enter. I say for Disobedience, and because Man hath found out many inventions, the Lord destroyed the old World; and the great cause of men's Misery in all Generations is, they are not living up to what they do believe, as they ought, not trusting in the sufficiency of that Arm, which only can bring Salvation, and preserve both within and without; therefore the Lord hath shaken the Heavens, and will yet shake the Earth also, and I say, will yet try the Stand and Foundations of Men, therefore let every Mortal living, dread and fear before the Great Jehovah, the Living Almighty God, that it may be well with you, is the real breathing of my Soul; for his other Sheep, that they may be gathered into Christ's peaceable Own fold, for he is the peaceable Shepherd. So recommending you to him. I rest,
