<HEAD>A Warning to England In GENERAL.</HEAD>
<HEAD TYPE="sub">And the Cities of <HI>LONDON</HI> and <HI>BRISTOLL</HI> in PARTICULAR.</HEAD>

<P>IT came upon me to write as followeth. Oh! Nation of <HI>Eng|land,</HI> and City of <HI>London,</HI> how often have you been warned, and called to Repentance, yet how &s;low have your Inhabitants been in an&s;wering the Lord by Humiliation and unfeigned Re|pentance. I am truly concerned for thee, Oh City of <HI>London!</HI> le&s;t thou ha&s;t given the Lord cau&s;e to complain again&s;t thee, and upbraid thee as he did <HI>Corazin</HI> and <HI>Beth&s;aida;</HI> for the Lord doth not &s;end his Judgments without great Provocation; there|fore think not Repentance to be a hard thing for thee, for God wills not the De&s;truction of any, but their De&s;truction is of them&s;elves. I pray God, O Nation of <HI>England,</HI> thou mighte&s;t be prevailed with to turn to God, and he will turn to thee, and in|&s;tead of A&s;hes thou &s;halt have Beauty, and in&s;tead of Mourn|ing, Joy, and for Heavine&s;s, a Garment of Prai&s;es: And thy People &s;hall be called Trees of Righteou&s;ne&s;s.</P>
<P>And now Oh City of <HI>Bri&s;toll!</HI> What ha&s;t thou to &s;ay for thy &s;elf, when the Lord makes Inqui&s;ition for Blood and Per&s;ecu|tion, that has been in thee: Ha&s;t thou made thy Peace with the Lord, or ha&s;t thou &s;ought thy Peace with the great good God. To thee this is the Word of the Lord, <HI>If thou be willing to come out of the Pool or Puddle of Sin and Tran&s;gre&s;&s;ion, a Pool of Water</HI> (or De&s;olation) <HI>thou &s;halt not be.</HI> The Mouth of the Lord hath &s;poken it. Oh City of <HI>Bri&s;toll,</HI> I am truly concerned for thee, that thou might &s;hine with the Beauty of Holine&s;s, to the Prai&s;e and Glory of the great God.</P>
<P>This from him that de&s;ires the good of the whole Creation, and is &s;eeking the good of all People,</P>
