Troops of Horse and one Regiment of Foot When they were brought to the said place the Bishop was the first that tasted of the Cup and coming to the foot of the Ladder he kissed it saying Good people THis is a very uncomfortable place for me to deliver my self unto you but I beseech you pardon my failings and the rather by reason of the sad occasion that hath brought me hither Indeed I have been long in my race and how I have looked unto Jesus the Authour and finisher of my faith is best known to him I am now come to the end of my race which I find to be a death of shame but the shame must be despised or there is no coming to the right hand of God Jesus despised the shame for me upon the Crosse and God forbid but I should despise the shame for him upon the Gallowes I am going apace as you see towards the Red Sea and my feet are upon the very brinks of it an Argument I hope that God is bringing me to the Land of promise for that was the way by which of old he led his people But before they came to the Sea he instituted a passe over for them a Lamb it was but it was to be eaten with very sowr Herbs as in the 12. of Exodus I shall obey and labour to digest the sowr Herbs as well as the Lamb and I shall remember that it is the Lords passe-over I shall not think of the Herbs nor be angry with the hands that gathered them but look up only to him who instituted the one and governeth the other For Men can have no more power over me then that which is given them from above and although I am denyed mercy here on earth yet I doubt not but to receive it in Heaven I am not in love with this passage through the Red Sea for I have the weakness and infirmity of flesh and blood in me and I have prayed as my Saviour taught me and exampled me Vt transiret calix ista That this Cup might passe away from me but since it is not that my will may his will be done and I shall most willingly drink of it as deep as he pleases and enter into this Sea I and I passe through it in the way that he shall be pleased to leade me And yet good people it would be remembrad That when the Servants of God old Israel were in this boystrous Sea and Aaron with them the Egyptians which persecuted them and did in a manner drive them into that Sea were drowned in the same waters while they were in pursuit of them I know my God whom I serve is as able to deliver me from this Sea of blood as he was to deliver the 3. Children from the furnace Dan. 3.
