TO THE Inhabitants of LONDON , This is , a MESSAGE , in the Name of the LORD .

THus saith the Lord , Heaven and Earth shall pass away , before one jot or tittle of my Word shall pass away unfulfilled ; even my living Word is established for ever , and standeth fast in all Generations : That which no man made , can no man alter nor change .

And this is it to London and the Inhabitants thereof ; Open your ears to hear , and your hearts to understand the Lord's Controversie with you : even this is my Controversie , saith the Lord , and my determination saith the Almighty ; who am mighty to perform that which I have spoken , and to bring to pass the thoughs of my heart in all Generations .

Thy Decrees made in thee shall not stand , the unrighteous Precepts prescribed by thy Law-makers shall not continue , they that make them are like unto them , the thoughts of their hearts are altogether vain ; they shall not abide nor continue , but pass away as their own dung , and as the untimely Birth of a Woman : They shall never see the perfection of that Day they look for ; a Cloud shall cover it , and a Night from the Lord , that livethfor ever and ever , shall dwell upon it ; that which is unto the wicked , as the shadow of Death , shall dwell upon it .

Wo be unto all treacherous hearted in thee , that pretend Liberty , while they are whetting their Swords to slay , and pointing their Arrows to shoot at the Innocent . Their Swords shall enter into their own Bowels , and Arrows stick in their Reins , the Pit they are digging for the Anointed of the Lord , and Holes to fling his Jewels into , they themselves shall fall in . This is my Controversie and my determination saith the Lord of the whole Earth .

But , they that make the Lord their Refuge , even the Lord their Hiding-place ( at all times ) and fear not man , that must die , and perish as his own dung , but wait on the Lord , and in all things that befall them , acknowledge him able to save out of all : Your hearts shall live , that seek the Lord , even him alone , and his face continually ; in his Salvation shall ye rejoyce , and your souls in it shall delight world without end .

Live in God , the Fountain of Love , Life and Power ; there is an end of all Sufferings , there the Weary be at rest , there the Prisoners rest together out of the reach of the Oppressor . Judge self in every state , strait , and condition ; give not your power to the Beast , neither strengthen the Wicked , ( nor give them ease ) by looking or seeking unto them for help and deliverance , that are your Persecutors ; But with David , let your souls and minds say , Our Help standeth in the Name of the Lord , that made Heaven and Earth .

And so , The Lord God visit thy Own in every one , that we that love it , may rejoyce with it , now and ever more .

Humphrey Wollrich .

London , Printed in the Year 1663.
