I hope I shall be cleer from the blood of this Generation , being sent of God to declare the things hereafter mentioned : For it is evident , I fore-told the manner of the death of King Charles , and do herein fore-see a great and mighty change . So that if the people now refuse to hear me , who have had so many witnesses to shew that God is pleased to declare his determinate Will by me ) they of all others will be the least excusable for despising me , and so the least capable of mercy . For , have they not known how God by me declared the most remarkable things that befel these kingdoms since the wars began : How that 20 years ago I declared the things that befel my late Soveraign , and that I suffered three yeares imprisonment for the same ? How that I declared to the Earl of Essex 7 years before he was General , that he should be the peoples General against the King ? Have they not known how that in the year 1646 I declared the downfal of the Presbyterians . How I declared , that the Kings Son would come to Eng●and long before he came to Worcester , and his success likewise ? How I declared to ●he Parl . that they should be destroyed long before ●heir dissolution ▪ And now , as concerning you , ye discontented people of Bl●c● 〈…〉 that use to meet every Monday ▪ ye pray , ye preach ▪ y● f●st a●d c●mplain , that God doth not hear yo●r prayer , and ye cry 〈◇〉 Go● 〈◇〉 he w●●l●●●nd ●he Spirit of Prophesi● by some o●● or o●●●● , 〈…〉 un●●●●t●nd ●he things to come ▪ ●nd y●● you ●●nnot 〈…〉 when God sheweth you all these things by me his poor Messenger ; Therefore , I say unto you , bend your prayers for the present Power , submit unto OLIVER yout supream Governor and Lord Protector , and then doubtless ye shal prevail with God in prayers for him , and have all your desires accomplished ; that is , to have the late members of Parliament called to an account for all their vast sums of money , and to have the people eased of their heavy Taxations , and wearisom Burdens , which for many years ( poor soules ) they have undergone : For indeed what is become of the Bishops , Deans , and Chapters lands and Delinquents estates , forsooth ? and many other things that are gone I know not where : no , nor he that has as big a head as a Horse I believe : But sure I am , that there are many worth a thousand li. now , that were not worth one hundred pe●ce b●fore the wars began ▪ So that you may cleerly see ▪ we have had more Juglers than Gypsies of late dayes . And therefore , if ye would have God to hear you , why do you not hear him by doing justly to his Highness , and submitting to the present Government , that righteousness may run down as a River , or else all your seeking the Lord wil be in vain ; for if ye will still have your prayers granted according to your own sense and will , that is , for you to prevail , kil and slay all that wil not submit unto you , then the Lord wil shew your folly to all the world . And do not you boast , as some of you do , that ye have had the Spirit of Prophesie ▪ these 7. years ; that the Armies over-coming your enemie● is the fruit of your prayers . Alas ! it is but your ●ride for it was Gods Decree to deliver his people into your hands for a time , to punish them for their sins , and he revealed it unto me 20 years ago , that your party should prevail as they h●ve done , and the● come to a miser●ble end .

But I shal take occasion by the way to speak a Word also to M. Feak , and M. Simpson , and others of their party , meeting at the aforesaid place of Black-Fryars , not doubting , but when God shal arrest them , saying , 1 King . 21 : 19. Hast thou killed and taken possession in that place where the King and his people lost their blood , in that very place shall thy blood be spilt , even thine ; and set their bloody Deeds to cry unto their Consciences , saying , We are thine , and we will not leave thee until thy judgment come ; and when Nathans Riddle is opened unto others , saying , Thou art the man , for thou hast given great occasion to the Papist to blaspheme , saying , These are the works of such as would be altogether ruled by the Bible : they will break their Vowes , and kill and steal by authority ; when like Davids their sin as a bloody sheet is set before them . It wil make them ro●r like David , saying , I acknowledge mine iniquity , and my sin is ever before me ; against thee , thee onely have I sinned , by causing the enemies to blaspheme thy Word , the holy Bible . Oh now I will repent , and endeavor to make restitution to the families we have spoiled , and I will pay my Vows , and stop the mouthes of the Blasphemers of thy Word thereby , so far as I am able , help me Lord , that J may prevail and appease thy hot indignation against me : and my desire is , that those of Mr. Simpsons party would repent and be of the same resolution : But J know of a certain there is a party in this Land , that shall fall by their wilful impenitency . But consider , J beseech you , that the Elect must endure and slye , until the Lord come as lightening to lighten the earth , to give them hope and assured knowledge that judgment is coming upon their persecutors ; for ye know that we are exhorted by Christ Jesus , to compare what we see in his Word with the things done in our times , for he gives Us true signes ; and then saith he , When ye see these things begin to come to pass , know that your redemption draweth nigh .
