him like Sodom and many of thy Inhabitants like Gomorrah whom God overthrew and never repented And he hath said I will now draw near to Judgment and hasten my Determination and accomplish my Purpose that the Earth may be moved at the uttering of my Thunders and the Inhabitants reel like a Cottage that the mighty of the Earth may arise to meet me in the Wayes of my Judgments for from the rising of the Sun to the going down of the same shall my Name be reverenced and the Acts of the Arm of my Power renowned O England England Awake awake out of that Sleep of Death and Destruction which the Destroyer of Mankind hath brought Multitudes of thine Inhabitants into and consider now thine Estate in this the Evening of many of thine Inhabitants Day for the Sun is setting over many and Night coming on apace wherein no Man can work I am distressed for thee O dear Land of my Nativity in the Sense of the little Regard many of thine Inhabitants have of the Mercies and Judgments of the Lord but yet be awakened at the certain Sound of the Trumpet of the Lord to consider the things appertaining to your everlasting Peace and to a serious Consideration of the Times and Seasons that are over you and wherein you are And I am moved of the eternal holy Lord God to pat you in mind that it was not long since a great Fear and Dread was on many that the Lord would swiftly have brought that grievous and fore Judgment of removing the Plenty of Bread within our Land through the dreadful Seasons in many Places a sore manner of wasting People through which multitudes of cattel died before your Eyes which came so far as to give several a taste of that dreadful Judgment of Famine which threatning brought a Dread upon the Minds of many but the God of our Mercies who is full of Compassions and Long-suffering that he might try you O Inhabitants of England immediatly and signally appeared in great and unexpressible Mercy and instead of a dreadfull Famine caused the Earth to bring forth by Hand-fuls ABUNDANTLY Now O rebellious Nation stiff-necked and hard-hearted People be wise be instructed lift up your Eyes behold this Trial of Plenty for so it is I declare it unto you in the Name of the Lord God of Hosts to prove and to try you whether the dreadful Threatnings of Judgment and the speedy large Extention of his Mercies will move to a serious Examination of your Wayes and Walkings before the Lord Then would the Sense of your great and coutinued Iniquities on the one Hand and the Sense of the great Long-Suffering and tender Mercies of the Almighty on the other Hand bar you down and bring you very low even into the dust before the Lord through which a repenting Frame of Spirit would come on you But now O England England if neither the Mercies nor Judgments of the Lord which have been and are upon thee will prevail so as to work a Reformation in thee then O People hear this Word Be in Expectation of a dreadful Day such as you have not known in this Generation to come on you for the Lord God strong and mighty will smite through the Land in great Dread and Fury bringing Terrour and the very Begirdings of Sorrows upon every County therein and a general Calamity wasting consuming destroying and depopulating and overturning will go over And therefore in the Name of the mighty God when this Message comes to your Ears lay aside all your Instruments and Objects of Joy and Mirth come down in the Dust before the dreadful God all both high and low rich and poor bond and free male and female from him that sits upon the Throne to the Beggar on the Dunghil and speedily humble your selves before the Lord fast from Strife and Debate and all Iniquity then approach and come near cry mightily to the Lord God of Sabboths that he would spare you and your Land from the dreadful Spoiler and Waster and covenant with the Lord to walk before him in Righteousness putting away all your Abominations from before his Eyes the stumbling-Block of your Iniquities and may be the Lord may be yet entreated otherwise remember this sealed Counsel Determination of the most high glorious dreadful Lord God of Heaven and Earth When you have filled up your measures which greatly hastens and is near your Judgments shall be astonishing both unto your selves and unto Nations in which Day you shall know that as Israel of old rejected and rebelled against the good Spirit of the Lord given them and against the Counsel of the Lord given by his Prophets and Servants for which a wasting and dreadful consuming Judgment came on them so have ye So be instructed bow down and kiss the Son lest his Wrath break forth without Remedy and thousands perish out of the Way and whilest ye have a little time a very short time prize it in making the utmost Use of it is the breathing Cryes and travailing in Spirit for you of him who hath been and am often afflicted and bowed in Spirit for you who am a Servant of the Lord raised up to declare his certain Counsel unto you Tetherton in the County of Wilts the 6th Moneth 1675. Charles Marshall THE END
