A85469	The coming of God in mercy, in vengeance; beginning with fire, to convert, or consume, at this so sinful city London: oh! London, London.	Gostelo, Walter.	1658 (1658)	Wing G1319; Thomason E1612_3; Thomason E1833_1; ESTC R202235	30,426	80

Commissioning it to go forth Begin at London and go throw all his dominions Fear all that read it and you that hear it I say fear and Tremble for they are the words of the Lord Almighty and his also is this sent-out fire So soon as the words were spoken Begin at London go thorow all his dominions the fire immediately removed from between the Kings feet to a distance some three yards from him and there stood but still kept in a right line before him there and then that fire suddenly became dilated and forthwith was big as the Sun in appearance when so dilated it had then ashes all under it which ashes were of the thickness of a pocket-Bible fire ashes and Bible are made up of the word and power of God who so contems his word his fire makes ashes of them contemn God and the King and you perish together Certainly on purpose is it thus shewed me with ashes under it that I may let you all see and know its readiness to Execute Gods Command first upon you of London Begin at London then his three Kingdoms and Christian world Men and Brethren either suffer your Corruptions and Rebellions of all sorts of which you are Horridly Guilty against God and his King Charles Stuart your Sacrifices are Dirt your hypocrisies are the Greatest your Rebellions have no compare suffer all these things and whatever more to be burnt up and consumed in you by his sent-out fire of mercy which if you shall madly neglect to do deceive not your selves it shall suddenly do its other work commissioned for to make ashes of you and all those mountains of opposition that men or Devils have can or dare raise up to obstruct the way and rule of Gods Vice-gerent Charles Stuart your only lawful King and Soveraign God is irritated and you have done it look to your selves when the Almighty kindles and sends forth a fire as here he doth read I beseech you to what purpose he doth it The Prophet Amos assures evil doers no less then six several times in his first Chapters which are but very short yet most admirable full to this very purpose there he saith That the Lord will send a fire that the Lord will Commission a fire That the Lord will kindle a fire And to what purpose I beseech you is all this even as here it shall devour it shall burn up it shall consume if not sin then sinful persons Do you ask me what it shall do I answer you and all for I fear no man do what shall it not do when commissiond and sent out by God as this is what shall it do why it shall burn up his enemies on every side if they repent not Ps. the 97. 3 verse There shall go a fire before him and Burn up his Enemies round about The Army of Horses went before this fire comes next after that nothing may escape I dare not yet leave this Commissioned fire of the Lords sent out upon this particular day the Eighth of Aprill what I have now to say in this so wonderful proceed of God Almighty is to you Oliver Cromwell Protector of these three Kingdoms pro Tempore Sir well look about you and best bethink your self and know Sir That for more then three months it was my continual meditation and amaze to think why it was dictated Waite until the Eighth of Aprill why to that day I could never give his Majesty and Heroick Brother any clear or certain reason for it but having upon that day seen the vision and then heard the words of Commission to the Almighties fire in our Kings behalf I can now give His Majesty his Brother you and all such a certain and true reason for it as will astonish the world there is in it Wonder upon Wonder it looks like the Children of Israel being brought out of Egypt upon the very day both the Lords own doings O that I were with you your Lordship should find I would speak to you as sent of God not flatteringly Examin your self Sir did not the Lord some two years since Easter next it will be so I again say did he not then in mercy send to you Oliver Cromwell the wife of Thomas Chalener a free-holder dwelling on the Edge of Sussex whose Commission was to this very purpose First to ask you whether or no the Vineyard you yet gathered the fruit of was yours or Gods if it was yours then to say so if Gods then your duty forthwith to give the fruit of it to his Steward Charles Stuart for God had given it unto him by inheritance if you refused forthwith to submit or doubted his right of inheritance she tells you that God had vouchsafed for the decision of his right three wayes Chuse you either of them God would appear for him whose unquestionable right it was for in the Court and justice of Heaven the Father having paid the debt the Son was to have the inheritance Her first offer to you is to cast Lots and by lot you should see on whom the Lord would resolve it to that you wisely considered and said what if the lot should go against me she truly told you it would your answer was that way of lot you would decline Her second offer was would you fight personally with Charls Stuart and so decide it to that as I have heard you gave no answer indeed God forbid that any such damnable thought or word should ever be found in your heart or mouth An impiety of that ugly nature I print to the whole world will never be found in you as ill as men generally speak of you who was most Culpable before God knows I do not The persons of Kings are sacred Appointed of God and anointed by his Prophets wise and honest men know it well their persons are rarely to be exposed Crowns not to be worne by any but whom the Lord sets apart with us it must be so the law of God and our Land best directs in that particular and I firmely believe That as you said nothing to that second offer of the Lords for they are all his offers not hers so upon that very consideration let the world say what they will you have hitherto declined and ever will do to put on his Crown they were fools that said you were afraid of the Army when t was offered you no no you were afraid of God and your King do well and be so Ever I commend your wisdom in that you put that Dirty assembly upon tryal what they would do with the Crown whereby you might clearly see and discover the Enemies of God and the King also the haters of Monarchy how could you a served your King better you have out-witted all those Arrant Good subjects The Lord shewed me before their sitting and told me when they were to sit their sacrifices were Dirt you had it before those were the very Men that was the Dirty Parliament his Crown I say

non-repentance it appears so Oh take your King for a better pattern His Majesties charity and sweetness of soul in imitation of the highest example and best of patterns his ever blessed Saviour and lately Glorified Father according to both their precepts hath begot in him our King such a well grounded confidence in the unchangeable favour of God Almighty towards him and to his just cause notwithstanding all those late inundations of Evil and other improbabilities of his Restore That in good earnest when none present with his Majesty but my most unworthy self He hath been pleased cheerfully to tell me several times even to me hath his Majesty said it That he doubts not at all but firmly believes The Lord will Restore him to his Right of inheritance indeed he needs not doubt of his Restore nor any thing else that 's best for him God having given him a heart to refer all things whether in matter of Restore or Revenge Time or manner to his merciful Father and Omnipotent God most wisely considering that to God onely it belongs to take Vengeance to us not at all As for you of this City and three Nations Were your Repentance what it should be God would assure you of forgiveness in Heaven and Earth also but Hypocrites cannot trust him they have So Irritated So dissembled with your Sacrifices are Dirt and your selves are not other C. R. His restore is of God UNQUESTIONABLY SO The Lord hath Revealed and Assured it from between the Cherubims where he is known to dwell Sect. V. SAint Peter writing to the men of his generation concerning the coming of God forewarnes them of scoffers and deriders letting them know they should meet with such in the last and worst days Saying Where is the promise of his coming surely such as those we have amongst us now who do not onely Deride what I have already said as concerning the now coming of God to take Vengeance on Evil doers but are as ready if not more ready to scoff and deride at the Restore of our King Seeing things continue as they were Laws and Militia in their possession still No God yet appears coming to avenge no King as yet in any likely way of Restore be it so this startles me not it may them Gods unexpected coming brings to such mockers and deriders unavoidable judgement At Flushing February last God shews me such miscreants as those mockers deriders and persecutors met and Congregated in a Church come thither to hear if any thing would be said in defence of him they had seemingly killed which man had printed the Restore of the King to which they were declared Enemies as well as to him they had long since murthered this Rabble of Evil doers being come into the Church the Church suddenly became much darker then formerly by and by in the upper part of that Church which we call the Chancel there shines forth a most glorious light the colour perfect Aurora or fire colour like the Sun when he riseth most gloriously This light terrible to behold shewes me all the upper parts of the Battlements and Pillars in the Chancell full beset with Cherubims placed all of them just one against the other face to face but such was the transcendent Beauty of their faces heads and wings that my eyes never beheld the like this light also shewed me those mockers and deriders of the Kings restore standing afar off towards the lower end of the Church my self with great admiration looking upon what then appeared and my eyes fastened upon the Cherubims suddenly there glides in a light wonderfully transcending the former indeed that last light was so very glorious and withall so beautiful piercing also that I have often thought and said a man could hardly look upon such a Visio twice live whilst this so miraculous light appeared all the Cherubims which still kept their places and postures of face to face then softly moved and Reverently bowed their so glorious heads at the same time also they slowly shook and hovered their Seraphical and snow-white wings heads and wings were fuller of beauty then I can express Oh the order of their worship whilst that unexpressible light continued there t was Heaven so sure as I live it was The Vision of God Gods Vision it was that is undeniable the words I then heard were onely these it was of God all which those mockers and deriders of the Kings restore no sooner saw but they turned about and immediately hasted out Here is a Conviction of mockers haters and deriders of our Kings Restore astonished all of them God here appeared for his and our King as once he did on Mount Sinai at the Promulgation of the Law when he would have the incredulous and Rebellious Israelites know t was his and obey it also Then on the Mount the appearance of the Lord was in the eyes of the children of Israel as Flaming Fire I now cease to wonder any more that your brother Rebells the Iews desired Moses onely to go up and near for they could not approach the place nor twice see without danger of Life for those Rebels as bold as they were at first yet when it came to this Vision God made you stand afar off you were not onely ashamed but then afraid yea sore afraid also your haste to be gone shews it for not a man of you durst look behind him or stay so long as I did it will shortly be all or many of your portions hastily to run away or hide your selves be gone be gone all you mockers and deriders of the Kings restore for God hath set you packing and rid me of you Now come near and rejoyce ye blessed of the Lord lovers of God and your King and be for ever comforted first observe with me Where doth God appear in behalf of your King he appears as he did of old in the Holy of Holies now with us a Chancell Next why there there his Mercy-seat our Communion-Table stands Thirdly in view of whom he that must declare it and will ever stand to it neither run away nor hide himself his most unworthy yet sent Messenger Walter Gostelo What other witnesses all the Cherubims Lastly how know you this to be an appearance and Vision of Gods and that he will fulfill it because it is shewed me between the Cherubims and he hath spoken it that cannot lye whose dwelling is between the Cherubims From whence his Prophets formerly received as here the so lively Visions and Oracles of the Lord in the behalf of his King Church and People In Exodus the 25. verse the 22. it is there said From between the Cherubims I will declare my self unto thee yea I will there tell thee all things which I give thee in command unto the children of Israel In good earnest some Eight or Ten dayes after when I was at Middlebourough and came to some better sight for my eyes were much impaired I there read those very words in Exodus and if there be any truth in me then considering again the Vision it self how it was shewed me in what place and before what witnesses the Cherubims suddenly an over-joy took me that I hardly knew where I was or what to do Therefore Reader expect not that I should say more of this and live Men Women and Children of the Christian World if God restore not our King Charles Stuart and make him not the greatest in the whole world Then let my name for ever perish off the Earth Now Men and Devils do your worst Gods Vice-Roy His Beloved Standard-bearer on earth our King Charles Stuart comes he comes to reign I see him coming and God comes with him of whom his restore and strength is Make your forces Ten Millions and take Twenty millions more into your assistance God Converts Scatters or Confounds them all I have for this time done with you God prosper it to you Finished upon Good-Friday 1658.
