Well, though I have called you long, and ye have refused, I shall yet this once more lift up my voice like a Trumpet, and cry from the highest places of the City, before I conclude with a miserable Conclamatum est. Once more I shall call after regardless sinners, that, if it be possible. I may awaken them. O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord, Jer. 22. 29. Unless you be resolved to die, lend your ears to the last calls of mercy. Behold, in the name of God I make open proclamation to you. Hearken unto me, O ye children. Hear instruction, and be wise and refuse it not, Prov. 8. 32. 33.
Ho, every one that thirsteth come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money, come ye, buy and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk, without money and without price. Wherefore do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labour for that which satisfieth not? Hearken diligently unto me, and eat •e that which is good, and let your soul delight it self in fatness. Incline your ear and come ye unto me; hear and your soul shall live, and I will make an everlasting• Covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David, Isai. 55. 1, 2, 3.
Ho, every one that is sick of any manner of disease or torment, Mat•h. 4. 23, 24. or is possessed with an evil spirit, whether of pride, or fury, or lust, or covetousness, come ye to the Physician; bring away your sick. Lo, here is he that healeth all manner of sickness, and all manner of disease among the people.
