( 8 ) Judgment, when the Miniſters of this Land were ſo unconcern'd, when the Lord was about to bring a deſolating Stroke, both by Sea and Land; ſo that the Smoke ſhall be ſeen from one Land to another. It was alſo laid before, me, That the Lord was about to purſue this Land for the Blood of his Servants, from the Year 1661 to this Day; for nothing can purge Blood, but Blood: And when it is accompliſhed, ye will ſay, as the Queen of Sheba ſaid The one Half was not told, of what ſhe had found: For, I have two Swords drawn, the Sword of a foreign Land, and an inteſting Sword, and if ye find any Favour, it will be at the Hands of a Stranger, and not at your own.

Alſo upon a Night, being ſleeping, I was awak’ned with a Cry, aying, This is the ſecond Time that I have come unto thee with this warning, but thou regardeſt the Tongue-talk of the Country more than my Warnings: But I will make thee an Iron Pillar and brazen Wall againſt the Generation; ſpeak therefore what I command thee, let I confound thee before them. I do not lay, as before, A Sacrifice in Bozra, but, a Sacrifice in thee, O Scotland, for I will dy the Ground with Blood, through the whole Land: For I will purge my Church of Popery and Epiſcopacy, and all other Errors, which are not according to the found Principles of the pure Word of God.
