A SALUTATION of my Endeared Love in God's holy Fear and Dread and for the clearing of my Conscience once more unto you of that City of Bristol amongst whom my Soul hath some Years travelled under many a dreadful Exercise which hath made my Bones to shake and my Heart to tremble before the great God of Heaven and Earth who will yet further bring his notable Day wherein all Flesh shall Tremble before him ANd now in the sence of the great Love of God that hath been extended unto you of that City continually first in sending of his Servants amongst you and endued them with Power from on High that it wrought effectually upon many whereby many are brought out of Egypts Darkness and through the Red-Sea spiritually and could sing to the Lord as Moses and the Children of Israel did when the Lord had wrought wonderfully for their deliverance and by a high Hand and a wonderful Power brought them forth And blessed be the Lord God Almighty and honoured be his worthy Name and the right Arm of his strength there are many living Witnesses of these things in this our day Oh dear Friends forget it not but dwell low in the sence of your deplorable states that you were in when first the Lord reached unto you and opened that Eye in you that let you see you were undone forever if the Lord did not arise for your Deliverance when many cryed out for a Saviour or else I perish forever Oh Friends what was too dear for us to part with in that day for the Lord Truly can my Soul say That all that ever my Eyes beheld was nothing to me in comparison to my Souls Redemption Oh! it was precious in my Eve and to this very day the living remembrance of it dwells fresh upon my Spirit at this time and my Heart and Soul loveth the Lord and blesseth his worthy Name forever and for evermore And now the Lord is remembring the Covenant that many made with him in the dayes of their distress Oh! remember remember to pay your Vows to the Lord and look into your Hearts this day and with the Light of the Lord search and see whether you are in Covenant this day with the Lord or no If you are surely you are not this day to serve your selves but the living God that made you for a purpose of his own Glory and redeemed you with his precious Blood And now consider you that are at ease in your Sion and eating and drinking and wearing what seemeth desirable in your own Eyes notwithstanding the Honour of the Lord lies engaged and your Souls in great danger and the Servants of the Lord distressed in your behalf Oh! for the Lord's sake and for your own Souls sake that will perish if you do not speedily Repent and arise and strip your selves and shake your selves from these things and come away while the Call of the Lord lasteth Oh! linger not for the Day of the Lord hasteneth mightily let nothing hinder you make no excuses any longer lest you be excluded out of God's Kingdom and the Door be shut against you Oh! think upon it before the Mid-night Cry come wherein not one Day more will be afforded to work for the Lord Oh then Wife nor Children Lands nor Livings Husband nor Trade Gold nor Silver will redeem one Soul then that doleful Sentence will be sounded Depart ye cursed workers of Iniquity into everlasting Torment prepared for the Devil his Angels Oh the sense of these things lie very heavy upon my Spirit and truly bows my Heart in Reverence before the Lord and Morning and Evening is my Heart afflicted insomuch that I can say as the Prophet said Oh! that my Head were as Water and mine Eyes as a Fountain of Tears that I might Weep day and night for the Vnfaithful that my Spirit might be eased For truly Friends though I am the least amongst many Thousands of the Lord's People and a weak Instrument yet my Soul is concerned this day and my Prayers to the great God of Heaven and Earth are That he would be pleased again to arise and utter his Voice and thunder his Alarm from his holy Habitation and make the Hearts of People to tremble before his wonderful Power and that he will yet afford a Day and try them again and that his Trumpet may once more sound an Alarm to the awakening of their Consciences out of that Spiritual Slumber wherein many are sleeping dreaming it is well with them and that they are Rich and Fat and Full and need nothing when their State is miserable and wretched naked and bare and undone forever if they do not speedily Repent and return with their whole Hearts and cry to God for Mercy and that he will pardon their Iniquities and heal their Back-slidings Oh back-sliding Israel return return before it be too late for the Lord hath long born with thee Oh thou City of Bristol as the Testimony livingly sprung in my Heart a little before thy Distress came upon thee I was constrained to say Oh thou City of Bristol a City of the Mercies of the living God he hath highly favoured thee thou hast had a Day and a Time wherein thou mightst have Inriched thy self with the Treasures of God's Kingdom and mightst have grown strong in the Lord and in the Power of his Might whereby thou mightest have stood in a living Testimony for the Lord with one consent as one Man But now behold the days of thy Distress are at Hand and thy Calamity like an armed Man and now who can bemoan thee or who can interceed the Lord for thee Or who can say to the Lord Why hast thou suffered these things to come to pass because it is in his Justice he hath done it And blessed be his Name forever he is fulfilling the Prophecies of his Servants whom he hath sent early and late to proclaim his dreadful Day in that City and Year after Year and Moneth after Moneth hath the Mind and Will of the Lord been declared and Messenger after Messenger insomuch that many a full Stomach loathed the Honey-Comb and all that seemed to received it made not a right use of it for the Lord's end in sending his Servants in days past was that his People might be fitted and prepared that a Judgment or a Destruction should not come upon his Children at unawares but that they should believe the Testimonies of his Truth and take warning by it and amend their Lives and be bowed in Spirit and humbled under the great God of Heaven and Earth that your Prayers in this state might ascend unto the long provoked God whose Anger is waxen hot and nothing will appease his Anger but true Repentance and that with speed and true brokenness of Heart Oh! is this your state Or are you this day trampling upon the Testimonies of Truth and upon the Sufferings of your dear Brethren and Sisters that are Sufferers this day for the
