England's New Bell Man , Ringing into all People Ears , God's Dreadful Judgment to this Land and Kingdom , Prognosticated by the great Eclipse of the Sun , March . 29. 1652 , the strange Effects to continue , 1654 , 1655 , 1656. to the Amazement of the whole World . To the Tune of , O Man in Disparation .

AWake , awake , O England , sweet England now awake And to thy Prayers speedily , do thou thy self betake ; The Lord thy God is coming within the Sky so clear , Repent therefore O England , the day that draweth near . The dreadful day of vengeance , is shortly now at hand , When fearful burning fire , Shall waste both Sea and Land ; And all means hearts shall fail them to see such things appear , Repent , &c. The worldly wise and prudent , shall fall besides their wits , And wish the Hills to fall on them , in these their frantick fits : No succour , help nor comfort , for them shall then appear , Repent , &c. The Seas and Rivers running , shall roar in grievous wise , The Beasts in Pastures feeding , still strain forth grevious cries . The Skies shall flame with fire , the Earth shall burn so clear , Repent therefore O England , the day it draweth near . The glorious holy Angels , shall then their Trumpees sound The dead shall hear their voises , as they lye in the ground ; Then all the Graves shall open , and dead men shall appear , Repent , &c. The Devil will be ready then , each Creature to accuse ; And shew how in their life time , they did themselves abuse ; And every mans own Conscience , for witness shall appear , Repent , &c. The works of every creature , their thoughts and deeds I say . Shall follow them together , in that most dreadful day : And no respect of persons , shall at that day appear , Repent therefore O England the day it draweth near .

BUt such as have done justly , shall wear the Crown of Life ; The wicked shall be Damned , to sorrow , pain and grief : Inboyling brans of Brimstone , with doleful heavy cheer , Repent therefore O England , the day it draweth near . But woe unto that woman , which then with Child shall go , And to the silly Nurses , which do give Suck also ; When as the day of Iudgment so grevous shall appear , Repent , &c. And pray with tears most constant , unto the Lord of might , That in the frozen winter you do not take your flight : Nor that upon the Sabbath , that peril do appear , Repent , &c. Let all good Christian people , repent therefore in time ; And from their hearts lamenting , each former grievous crime : Prepare themselves with gladness , to watch when Christ shall come ; The trump shall sound , and suddain , and no man knows how soon : Repent , &c. For all things are fulfilled , which Christ before had told , Small Faith is now remaining , and Charity 's grown cold ; Great signs & wonders we have seen within the Earth and Sky , Repent , &c. Why dost thou put thy confidence in strong and stately Towers , Why takest thou such pleasure , in building sumptuous Bowers : Rejoycing in thy Pastures , and Park of fallow Dear ; Repent , &c. Why seekest thou deceitfully to purchase treasure great , Or why does thou through Vsury . the bread of poor Men eat ? Why doth the life and living , so filthily appear ; Repent , &c. Wherefore let all good people upon their knees proceed , In making earnest Prayer for never was more need ; That God may spare the punishment even for his mercy meer , And give Grace to bear in mind , the Judgment day is near . FINIS .
