A warning to all people, nations, kindreds, tongues and languages, to repent and turn to the Lord God, before the day of their visitation past over, and no place of repentence be found for them.

THe cause of these Lines, is not that I seek whereof to glory, but the Lord be glorified over all, and his living Truth exalted above all; neither on this wise do I open my mouth as to accuse any man out of envy or hatred towards his person; but the desire of my soul is, that all men might turn from the evil of their doings, and that the Lord might have mercy on their souls and bodies, and that they might come to the knowledge of the truth and be saved; for God is merciful and desireth not that man should die, but rather that he should repent and return to him (from whom he is faln) and live to serve his Maker, for which end he was created, and not to serve his own lusts in oppressing and de∣stroying the Creation of God thereupon, but to live in Gods fear in meek∣ness, and to love his neighbour as himself; then Equity and Justice would flow as a mighty stream, and Righteousness run down our streets

like a river, and God would bless our encrease, and great should be our store; but where the contrary is brought forth, as Pride, Covetousness, Drunkenness, and all manner of Wickedness, how can people expect but that the hand of God should be against such things? Although his pa∣tience and long-suffering hath waited on man long, yea whose loving kindness hath been great towards me from a Child, who hath many a time raised from his own Seed in me breathings and hungrings after him, and desires to know him of whom I was ignorant; but knowing not where to stay my mind, the enemy soon got advantage, and drew out my mind into vanity, and so I heeded not that tender Principle which the Lord had placed in me, which would have drawn me towards himself, and giv•• me a good Ʋnderstanding to have walked before him in fear, and wi•••• ••n upright heart; so evilly did I reward the Lord for all his mercies, but still the Lord continued his loving kindness towards me, in that he left himself not without a witness in me; but when I was alone in secret, and going by the way, yea and laying on my bed, should I feel the secret hand of the Lord reproving me, and setting my sins in order before me, and smiting the hardness of my heart, and causing a tender∣ness to arise from his own seed in me, which now makes me to cry, Oh the highth and depth of the love of God towards mankind; for now I know the Lord is no respecter of persons, but his love is towards all the Sons and Daughters of men; and in whom the Lord hath opened his living Fountain, and caused the fresh springs of Life to spring up, they cannot be silent, but even their bowels earn towards others, yea, with sighs and groans towards the whole Creation, that the Day might dawn, and that darkness might fly away, and the singing of Birds might come, and the yelling noyses of the wild Beasts might cease, & that they might return again into their Dens from whence they came: So the Lord our God open the hearts of his People, and enlighten their understand∣ing, that his living Truth they may come to know, which hath been hid from their eyes in this cloudy and dark day, and night of Apostacy, which hath been over the face of all People, since the dayes of the Apo∣stles; but the night is far spent, and the day is dawning, and the time is at hand, that darkness shall fly away, and the light shall shine forth of obscurity; for the light of the Moon, shall be as the light of the Sun, and the light of the Sun as ten dayes, and Glory, Honour and Praise shall be given unto the Lord, who is God blessed over all, for ever and for ever, Amen.
