You that now hear the Joyful sound of these Trumpets, must ere long hear the Awful sound of that amazing Trumpet. A Loud, and a Shrill Trumpet will Sound, Arise, ye Dead, and come to Judgment! Oh! May our Compliance with the Joyful sound of the Silver Trumpets now be such, that we may find ⟨p. 22⟩Mercy in that Day. So comply with it now, that the Joyful sound of a, Come ye Blessed, may be heard by you, in the Day, when the Times of Refreshing shall come from the Presence of the LORD.
