Awake! London Awake! Thou hast been roused out of thine habitation; methinks thou shouldest be roused out of thy security: What! sleep when dying! dying by the plague, and tumbling into the grave! what sleep when burning! burning by the fire, and tumbling into desolation! What! sleep in a storm! when winds are blowing, and waves roaring, sea entering, and ship sinking! What meanest thou O sleeper! could the Heathen Ship-master say, in such a case, unto Jonah, chap. 1. 5, 6. when he lay fast asleep in the sides of the ship: Arise, call upon thy God; if God will think upon us that we perish not. And may not I say, What meanest thou O sleepy London; hast thou not perceived the storm that hath beaten so fiercely on thy head? dost thou not perceive that thy ship is shattered and broken? and the Sea is coming in amain, and thou art in danger of sinking, and that quickly, unless some speedy course be taken for prevention? And yet canst thou sleep still? Awake! arise! call upon thy God, if so be he will think upon us, that we perish not.

What! sleep in a storm! when winds are blowing, and waves roaring, sea entring, and ship sinking! What meanest thou O sleeper! could the Heathen Ship-master say, in such a case, unto Ionah, chap. 1. 5, 6. when he lay fast asleep in the sides of the ship: Arise, call upon thy God; if God will think upon us that we perish not.
