To all those whom it may concern. As I have often, in passing along the streets and high-ways, heard the Most Sacred Name very profanely made use of, both by men and women, and many grievously calling for Damnation on themselves and one on another, my heart has been, and is, deeply afflicted thereat; and therefore I beseech you, in the Name of Jesus Christ, do not defile your souls, which are dear and precious, by any wilful sin: and amongst other things, do not take the Holy Name of God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him or her guiltless that taketh his Holy Name in vain. God would save you; why would any of you lose and destroy yourselves? Observe this attentively; for notwithstanding all what the Lord has done, and is doing for us, such as die in their sins, where he is gone, they can never come. Abstain from drunkenness, and all excess, and from every appearance of evil; love one another, as Jesus Christ hath loved you; apply yourselves to the witness of God within you, which reproves you for evil; submit to, and obey its holy manifestations and discoveries, and it will do much more for you than all you can hear from any man: this witness of God is the Word of his Grace, even the Word of Life, which is able to save your souls. In the love of the gospel, I invite you all to come and taste how good and merciful the Lord is towards all those that return to him with their whole hearts. Farewel.

The glory of Christ unveil'd, or the excellency of Christ vindicated in his person, love, righteousness, &c. being an explication of the mystery which was kept secret since the world began: Wherein the Doctrine of the Holy Trinity is manifested in the Glory-Man, Jesus: And that Christ's bearing the Filth of our Sin in his own Sufferings, was a Part of the Atonement he made to God for the Elect; set forth against the Socinian and Neonomian Triumphs, and agaisnt some other Cowardly Profession. It is likewise demonstrated that an Interest in Christ is built alone upon the Free, Absolute and Everlasting Love of the Father, Son and Spirit, towards a Remnant in Christ Jesus, against the Arminiant. And therein is some Account given of the Mystery of the Elect and their Union in Christ Jesus before the Foundation of the World; proving that their Free Grace-Union according to God's Ancient Settlements was never, as to the Comprehensive and Supreme Relation of the Elect in Jesus Christ, destroy'd by their Subordinate Nature-Fall in Adam. To these Things are added a Vindication of the Excellency of God's Free Grace against the whole Arminian Scheme. And Lastly, The Spiritual Operations of the Holy Ghost are vindicated, as the immediate Spring, Life and Source of all Practical Religion. Occasion'd by divers notorious errours in the writings of Mr. John Hunt of Northampton, and many other writers, preachers and professours of the Gospel on most sides: Who instead of increasing on the Foundation at this Day, have shamefully cast off the First Faith. And that now when the Water of Euphrates, or the Power of the Turk since the Peace of Carlowitz, hath been eminently dryed up, so as not to overflow the Western Monarchy as heretofore. And now likewise, altho' for the Elect's sake, God has shortened the Days, upon the Rising of the Two Witnesses in England, who rose and stood upon their Feet in this Street of the great City, Anno 1687, where they had been Stain in their open Testimony of experimental Religion, just Three Years and a half preceding. Yea, to make way for the coming of the Glorious Kingdom of Christ, we have seen the Seventh Angel in the Ministry of Christ, (presently for Dispatch since this last Liberty) pouring forth his Vial into the Air, which hath said with a great voice out of the Temple of Heaven from the Throne of the Glory-Man, it is Done: All is done in Christ Jesus before Believing. And on this has been further utter'd, The Kingdoms of this World are become the Kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ, and He shall Reign for ever and ever. Nevertheless Deserters of the Faith, even so far as was believ'd the Last Age, by their Unbelieving Voices from the Pulpit, and angry Thunders awing the People, have drown'd the Report of the 7th Angel. Time now for more Lightnings to come forth after them, towards the Advance of a Spiritual Reformation breath'd after. By Joseph Hussey, a Poor Despised Servant of Jesus Christ, and Pastour of the Congregational Church of Christ at Cambridge.

By command of the King of Kings, (a) and at the desire of all who love his appearing, (b) at the Theatre of the universe, (c) on the eve of time, (d) will be performed, The great assize, or day of judgment. (e) The Scenery, which is now actually preparing, will not only surpass every Thing that has yet been seen, but will infinitely exceed the utmost Stretch of human Conception (f). There will be a just Representation of all the Inhabitants of the World, in their various and proper Colours; and their Customs and Manners will be so exactly and so minutely delineated, that the most secret Thought will be discovered (g). For God shall bring every Work into Judgment, with every secret Thing, whether it be Good, or whether it be evil. Eccles. xii. This Theatre will be laid out after a new Plan, and will consist of Pit and Gallery only; and, contrary to all others, the Gallery is fitted up for the Reception of the People of high (or heavenly) Birth (h), and the Pit for those of low (or earthly) Rank (i). - N. B. The Gallery is very spacious (k), and the Pit without Bottom (l). To prevent Inconvenience, there are separate Doors for admitting the Company; and they are so different, that none can mistake that are not wilfully blind. The Door which opens into the Gallery is very narrow, and the Steps up to it are somewhat difficult; for which Reason there are seldom many People about it (m). But the Door that gives Entrance into the Pit is very wide, and very commodious; which causes such Numbers to flock to it, that it is generally crowded (n). - N. B. The strait Door leads towards the Right-Hand, and the broad one to the Left (o). It will be in vain for one in a tinsel'd Coat and borrowed Language to personate one of high Birth, in order to get Admittance into the upper Places (p); for there is One of wonderful and deep Penetration, who will search and examine every individual (q); and all who cannot pronounce Shibboleth (r) in the Language of Canaan (s), or has not received a white Stone and new Name (l), or cannot prove a clear Title to a certain Portion of the Land of Promise (u), must be turned in at the left Door (w). The Principal Performers Are described in 1 Thess. iv. 16. - 2 Thess. i. 7, 8, 9. - Matt. xxiv. 30, 31. - xxv. 31, 32. - Daniel vii, 9, 10. - Jude 14. 15. - Rev. xx. 12 to 15, &c. But as there are some People much better acquainted with the Contents of a Play-Bill than the Word of God, it may not be amiss to transcribe a Verse or two for their Perusal. ̀̀the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from Heaven with his mighty Angels, in flaming Fire, taking Vengeance on them that obey not the Gospel,'' but ̀̀to be glorified in his Saints. A fiery Stream issued and came forth from before him: A thousand thousands ministred unto him, and ten thousand Times ten thousand stood before him: The Judgment was set, and the Books were opened; and whosoever was not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the Lake of Fire.'' Act First of this Grand and Solemn Piece Will be opened by an Arch-Angel, with the Trump of God (x). For the Trumpet shall sound, and the Dead shall be raised. 1 Cor. xv. 52. Act Second Will be a Procession of Saints in White (y), with Golden Harps, accompanied with Shouts of Joy, and Songs of Praise (z). Act Third Will be an Assemblage of all the Unregenerate (a). The Music will consist chiefly of Cries (b), accompanied with Weeping, Wailing, Mourning, Lamentation, and Woe (c). To conclude with an Oration by the Son of God. It is written in the 25th of Matthew, from the 34th Verse to the End of the Chapter; but for the Sake of those who seldom read the Scriptures, I shall here transcribe two Verses: ̀̀then shall the King say to them on his Right-Hand, Come ye blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the Foundation of the World: Then shall he say also unto them on the Left-Hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting Fire, prepared for the Devil and his Angels.'' After which the Curtain will drop, Then, O to tell! John v. 28, 29. - - Some raised on high, and others dom'd to Hell! Rev. v. 8, 9. - xiv. 3, 4. - - These praise the Lamb, and sing redeeming Love, Luke xvi. 22, 23. - - Lodg'd in his Bosom, all his Goodness prove:-xix. 14, 27. - - While those who trumpled under-foot his Grace Matt. xxv. 30. - 2 Thess. i. 9. - Are banish'd now for ever from his Face; Luke xvi. 26. - - Divided thus, a Gulph is fix'd between, Matt. xxv. 46. - - And (everlasting) closes up the Scene. Thus will I do unto thee, O Israel; and because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel. Amos iv. 12. Tickets for the Pit, at the easy Purchase of following the vain Pomps and Vanities of the fashionable World, and the Desires and Amusements of the Flesh (d): To be had at every Flesh-Pleasing Assembly. If ye live after the Flesh ye shall die. Rom. viii. 13. Tickets for the Gallery at no less Rate than being converted (e), Forsaking all (f). Denying Self, taking up the Cross (g) and following Christ in the Regeneration (h): To be had no where but in the Word of God, and where that Word appoints. He that hath Ears to hear let him hear. And be not deceived: God is not mocked. For whatsoever a Man soweth, that shall he also reap. - Matt. xi. 15. - Gal. vi. 7. N. B. No Money will be taken at the Door (i), nor will any Tickets give Admittance into the Gallery, but those sealed by the Holy Ghost (k), with Immanuel's Signet (l). Watch therefore; be ye also ready; for in such an Hour as ye think not, the Son of Man cometh. Matt. xxiv. 42, 44.
