THE Dreadful, and Terrible, Day of the LORD GOD, to overtake this Generation suddenly; once more Proclaimed. CLouds and darkness are round about him, he cometh with Clouds, and every eye shall see him; and they that have pierced him shall mourn bitterly. Howl, howl, howl ye Inhabitants of the Earth; who have made a Covenant with Death, and with Hell are at an Agreement, the Overflowing Scourge cometh; all your Lies shall be swept away suddenly; as in a moment, naked and bare must you appear, and stand before the Lamb the Judge of the whole Earth, of the Quick and the Dead. Oh! oh! what will you do in that day, ye Scoffers, ye Mockers, ye Ranters, ye Wantoners, ye Gamesters, ye Sporters, ye Cheaters, cozeners, deceivers, oppressors, covetous, unrighteous; Tyrants over the witness, and witnesses of God, who make merry over it. The Terrible, terrible, terrible, dreadful day of the Lord God is at hand: Oh who shall deliver you, and whether will you run, or fly, while your only Refuge, will be your Judge, Pursuer, Condemner, will mock at your destruction, when your fear cometh as a whirlwind. Hear, hear, hear, O ye Inhabitants of the Earth; The great and terrible day of the Lord God, wherein he will arise to Judgement, breaks forth upon you suddenly: Oh what will you do ye Hypocrites, ye dawbers, ye painters, ye persecutors, ye whose Silver is become Brass, and Brass, Iron; whose Heavens are become Brass, and Earth Iron. Ye deceivers, Enchanters, benighting, and being benighted: Oh the dreadful day that is to overtake you suddenly. Behold I will arise saith the Lord, as upon Mount Perizim, and will be wrath as in the valley of Megiddon, and will bring forth my work; and behold vengeance is in my heart, and I will execute it in behalf of the meek, and such as have no helper in the Earth. Oh! oh! oh that men might in time hear, and fear, and consider; But men in honour not understanding are like the Beasts that perish. I. S. Friends & people every where that mention the name of the Lord in this the day of his mighty power, in which he will work wonders. Thus saith the Lord God, keep to the measure of my spirit manifested in your hearts, every one to your own, and be still, be still retired, keeping low, in the dread and true humility, of mine Eternal, single spirit of judgement and truth alone: Feel me the living God your habitation, your strength, your peace, your Rock, your justifier in all thing; for behold I will sweep, I will sweep, I will fan, I will sift the Nations to the bottom to the ground I will crush, I will break I will scatter, I will demolish I will desolve all flesh (that hath corrupted its way,) all Mountains, all Ceaders, all strong holds; I will break through, as he that breaketh through gates of Brass, and bars of Iron, I will toss and whirl the Mountains and hills in my fury, as he that tosseth a Ball, I will overturn Towers, and fenced places, as he that turneth up the mown grass, I will dry up Rivers and deeps, and I will bring up deeps to light, which hath not been known, behold I will work wonders, and miracles, and signs, in Heaven and Earth, and the Sea, to the astonishment of all flesh (which shall fail before me) for I am a jealous God, a mighty, terrible, and dreadful God, rewarding every one according to his do. Tremble ye Inhabitants of the Earth, for I will shake all nations, dread, and quake, and tremble before me, ye Kings, and Princes, and all ye great men & Rulers of the Earth, your strength is as Stubble before me, I am come in my fury & zeal, to render a recompense for all your do. Tremble ye careless daughters, weep and howl ye women that are at ease, for behold the day of your mourning is at hand, in which you shall be as Widows, and all you daughters of Music, you shall wail and sigh bitterly: Cry out and roar like Bears, all ye deceivers, all ye profane hirelings, changeable Priests, Bishops, Friars, Deans, Monks, Popes, Cardinals, and all ye unclean birds of prey, which have caused the people to Err for lack of knowledge, my terrible, notable, and dreadful day of vengeance is coming upon you; I'll shake, I'll astonish, I'll confound you, ye deviners, ye Enchanters, ye dreamers, ye Sorcerers, ye liars, ye Murderes, ye Whore-mongers, ye bewichers, I'll make you mad, I'll amaze you, I'll distract you, I'll strike you with blindness, and madness, and astonishments; and you shall curse your Gods, and your Kings, and you shall fret yourselves, and gnaw your tongues for pain and vexation. Cry roar, howl, tremble, and be ye horribly Confounded, all ye Idolaters, Superstioners, deceitful workers, and all Hypocrites, the day of vengeance is in my heart against you, my Indignation burns, it is kindled, it flameth, it shall consume you, and leave you neither root nor branch. Behold the end of all flesh is come up before me, Rejoice ye upright in heart, ye undefiled, ye humble, and contrite ones, Rejoice with fear and trembling, rejoice thou heaven, rejoice thou seed of jacob, and of Abraham my friend, rejoice thou true Israelite, in whom is no guile, rejoice ye holy Apostles, and Prophets, and Saints, sing aloud upon your beds of Eternal rest, all ye Martyers, who love not your lives unto death, you followers of the Lamb ye Redeemed by his blood, ye chosen, ye faithful and true witnesses, sing praises for ever, and hallelujahs for ever, for I the mighty God of Israel, the everlasting jehovah, the I Am (and there is none can deliver out of my hand) will work and, none shall hinder; fear not ye babes of uprightness, ye single hearted, ye noble plants of my renown, and glory, who dwell in the retiredness in my secret, dreadful infallible life, and Counsel and wisdom, fearing to offend me the mighty just God; fear not the rage wrath, and fury of your Aversaries, though an Host Encamp about you to destroy you; for behold my Bridle is in the Jaws of the Red Dragon, and my hook is in the nose of the fierce Leviathan, though no man can tame them, yet I the Lord God of all might and power, (who form the crooked Serpent) will make my sword to pierce through his Liver, fear not, I can break up his scales though like scales of Brass, and draw his tongue out of his mouth, and the sting of venom when I please, fear ye not the wrath of man, neither be afraid of their revile, and threaten, (but feel my pure, Innocent, harmless, upright life, and power in your vessels;) for behold I'll trample, and tread them under my feet and your feet, as one that treadeth upon mortar, and no Idolater, Hypocrite, or wicked person, shall escape my mighty hand. Therefore be silent, oh all flesh, for I am arisen in my holy habitation to plead with all Nations, come to judgement oh all ye ungodly and receive your sentence, Behold it draweth near, prepare to the battle of my everlasting vengeance, and recompenses; oh all ye workers of iniquity, for my soul is filled with jealousy, and everlasting vengeance is in my heart against you, have you not been often warned of my righteous Judgements to come? have not my servants proclaimed them in your streets and dwelling places? have I not cried (through them) my mighty day, which comes like a Thief in the Night upon the wicked? Can you say, you never heard the report thereof? Can you say you were not warned, within you, and without you? Then will I stay my fury. But behold, I have sent my messengers early and late unto you, to warn, reprove, and exhort you, but you have hardened your hearts, and stiffened your necks, and closed your eyes, and stopped your ears, against them, and their message; and not only so, but you have reviled them, and mocked them, and stoned them, and buffeted them, and abused them, and persecuted them, and Imprisoned them, and some of them you have caused thereby to suffer death, etc. And what will you now do? will you say when saw we thee sick, and in Prison & did not visit thee? Or when saw we thee an hungered, or suffer affliction, and did not minister unto thee? I tell you in as much as you have done violence to these my servants, and messengers, (whom I sent unto you,) you have done it unto me; and in as much as you shown them no mercy, you have showed no mercy unto me, for they came not unto you in their own wills and name, but in the will of him that sent them, therefore are you left without excuse, or can any of you say (to my face) you knew not that you were reproved for sin, or did not know what was iniquity or transgression against me, the pure holy God? Can you say that we knew not that Pride was sin, or that Lying was sin, or swearing was sin, or you knew not that whoredom was sin, or drunkenness, or cheating, or scoffing, or envy, malice, and corrupt Communication, or wantonness or unjust dealing is sin? Or can you say, you knew not that doing wrong to your Neighbour (as you would not be done unto is sin, or Murder or Adultery is sin? If you can say in truth that you knew not these things, whether they were good or evil, then will I yet stay my vengeance from descending upon you. But behold my witness in your own Consciences, the light of my spirit hath often strived with you, and manifested these things unto you, and checked you, and reproved you, which shall now eternally condemn you; and to it I have set my Seal, that neither heaven nor Earth shall deliver you, Amen.
