⟨g⟩eneration defer to hear my warnings? I will make this ⟨la⟩nd without bread or water, for I am more concerned ⟨fo⟩r this land, while they forbear to hear my warnings, ⟨t⟩han for the wilderneſs of Zin, wherein no man dwells. This land ſhall be brought to that paſs, that one ſhall ⟨h⟩ardly find a man to aſk how he fenned in the ſtorm.
42. April 5. About the middle of the day, there appear⟨e⟩d to me a great light, and it was ſaid unto me, I have no ⟨g⟩reat commiſſion for thee at this time, being to go to the ⟨n⟩orth of Scotland to tell them, That now their cup is full, ⟨a⟩nd ere long it ſhall be as empty as ever it was full; for ⟨m⟩any of them ſhall never have a full cup in this place a⟨g⟩ain, and it ſeems to be one of the laſt warnings.
43. April 15.
