A trumpet of the Lord sounded out of Sion which gives a certaine sound in the eares of all nations and is a true noyse of a fearfull earthquake at hand which shall shake the whole fabrick of the earth ... with a salutation to the seed who are gathered into the fold and with the children of the king ... / by one whose name is truly known by the children of the same birth ... Edward Burrough.

To all you who are, and have been always, enemies to the very ap∣pearance of Righteousnesse, who are called Delinquents and Ca∣valiers.

THus saith the Lord, my controversie is against you, even my hand in judgement is upon you already, and you are become cursed in all your hatchings and endea∣vours, and from time to time my hand hath been against you in Battel, and you have been, and are given up to be a prey to your enemies, for the purpose and intents of your hearts have been known alwaies to be against the form of Truth, and much more against my powerful truth it self and because you attempted to take my throne (Consci••nce) therefore I rose in fury against you, and will have war with all your followers herein for ever, and though my hand hath been evidently against you, yet to this day you remain in rebellion in your minds in hat••hing murder and cruelty in your wicked hearts, and though your Kings, and Princes, and Nobles have been cut off in wrath, and your cruel desperate Inventions, and plots of wickedness (conceived in your cursed womb) have been broken, and you cut short in your desires, yet you repent not, nor will not see how you are given to be a curse, and a desolation, and a prey, in houses, and lands, and persons, to them whom I raised against you and gave power over you, yet you are hardned, and your cruelty in the persecution of my servants cannot be measured, where you have any power, you smite with the fi••t of wickedness, and count it your glory to despise my name,

in the Vallies of vain hopes you feed, and on the moun∣tains of foolish expectation, and conceive in your cruel womb of Tyrannie, the overthrow of the Nations, but in the bringing forth, your selves are overthrown, and it is not for well doing that you suffer, but my hand is against you, and my judgements are upon you, and ex∣cept you repent, shall continue upon Earth with you, and follow you, and pursue you to the lake of destructior, where there is no repentance, and you and your King, and lordly power, (by which you have thought to exer∣cise Lordship over my heritage) shall be enslaved by th•• Divel in the Pit of darkness, in everlasting bondage, where he shall reigne your King and Lord for ever∣more.
