have done, or have we been doing what ought not to have been done? Shall the pestilence sweep away thousands from Spain and at Gibraltar? shall the earthquake overwhelm multitudes at Naples in Italy? shall the sword devour legion in France and in Germany? shall the famine ravage whole countries, as it does at this moment upon the continent? and shall the people of England be unconcerned at all this? Are they sure of escaping the just judgments of the Almighty Is London so good that she deserves no punishment? Are all her citizens so virtuous as to need no reformation? then we may say, Let the good people alone; do not disturb them."-

These remarks, that are made by the person who hath put out the hand-bill, I may make to the world at large. If all the people are so virtuous and good, prepared to escape all those evils, which are said would be on the earth, previous to the Coming of Christ, and what I was warned of in 1792 would take place, and which we already see in the neighbouring nations around us; if the people of this nation are so good, that no just judgments can fall on them; then they might justly despise the warning, and say, Let the good people alone; they want no invitation to draw their hearts to God; they want no warning to tell them their danger, if they do not turn unto the Lord. This might be said, if England can say the people are so good that they deserve no punishment; and so virtuous that they need no reformation; then they may say, What cause is there for the Lord to visit by his Spirit to warn us of repentance, that we may be prepared to meet our God, either by death, or to enter into the joy of our Lord at his coming, if he preserves our lives? If they are already thus prepared, then they need no warning; but when we look around us, we cannot help seeing sin abound on every side; then is it not time to invite the people, and warn them to hear what the Lord hath said concerning them? And let us come to the Scrip

tures of Truth; if we discern them through, from the Prophets and fro:n the Gospel, we shall clearly discern that those people who are welcomed into the joy of their Lord will be looking and waiting for his Coming, as it is said in Isaiah, in Daniel, in Mulachi; and the prophets throughout speak of those that will be waiting for the Lord-who are said to be the wise that shall see and understand-and they that fear the Lord will speak often one to another-and they shall be mine, saith the Lord of Hosts, in the day that I make up my jewels. The same is confirmed by our Saviour: the wise virgins would be looking for the coming of their Lord, and be welcomed in with the Bridegroom; and the same is said of the faithful servants, who would be counted blessed to be found so doing. But if we discern the Scriptures through, we shall find throughout, these people are spoken of, that our Saviour said would mock at his second coming, saying, The Lord delayeth his coming: and as St. Peter said they would say, Where is the promise of his coming? and these are the people that should have their portion with the hypocrites. So now I wish all men to read the Scriptures with attention, and judge for their-. selves; for these are they that testify of the Lord, and of his coming to take out of his Kingdom all that offend and do wickedly. Therefore those that despise the visitation of his Spirit, to give the warning, let them read the Scriptures and judge for them selves-O, that they were wise! that they understood this; that they might consider their latter end! for the love o God passeth all understanding for those who love the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.

ROM the title of this book, and from the Scriptures of Truth, we may discern who is the ME, and the I, that is spoken of by the prophets; as I have observed from the prophet Hosea so we may observe from the prophet Isaiah, chap. xlii. "I'an the Lord: that is my name and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praises to graven images. Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praises from the ends of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof. Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voices, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit : let the inhabitants of the rocks sing, let them shout from
