These are fearful times we live in.
London is become another Nineveh, and will be devoured by flames like that great city.

It is full of corruption and debauchery, of oppressions, thefts, and deceits.

Palaces of kings are of no more account in His eyes than cottages of peasants .-- He cutteth off the spirits of Princes: he is terrible to the Kings of the earth.' He knoweth no difference between them that sit on thrones, and those that go from door to door.
