and tels them ver 14. that they were risen up in their Fathers stead an encrease of sinfull men c. So say I if we shall now sit down and take up our rest and think our work is done when Ireland hath no rest and is in a manner undone this may provoke the Lord against us I hope you will remember them in their low estate as God hath remembred you in yours The second Use shall be of Exhortation that since God hath wrought such deliverances as these and hath given such wonderfull mercies to you that you would labour to walke in a way correspondent to these mercies that you would be wrapt up with wonder in the contemplation of them we may make use of the signification of the word Mirari and stirre you up to your duty and goe no further then the Word affords First it signifies intente intueri for it comes from the Hebrew 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 est visus so that we first wonder Martin Lexic vocab Miror First Take a view and survey our mercies look into them this I have spoke of before secondly we should mirari i. cum voluptate intueri we should as David Psal 13. 5 6. rejoyce in the Lord and sing unto him because he hath dealt bountifully we see the Church often upon the receipt of mercies rejoycing Isa 61. 10. and elswhere thirdly we should wonder i. Intueri cum stupore break out into holy astonishment the Church upon the contemplation of the mercies of God stands as one amazed Isa 25. 9. In that day it shall be said Loe this is our God! an ecce a note of wonder put upon it then it followes We will rejoyce in his salvation fourthly we should wonder and say What hath God wrought i. magnifacere venerari we should exalt and magnifie the Lord for his mercies thus David teacheth us this lesson in his owne practice Psal 34. 2 3. he cals upon others to magnifie the Lord with him for his mercies this magnifying of the Lord should be done with holy and humble veneration We find Revel 4. 10 11. when the four and twenty Elders give praise to God they fall downe before him and cast their Crownes before the Throne c. so also chap. 5. 8. 7. 11. 11. 16 17. they fall downe and give thanks to the Lord God because he had taken to him his great power and had reigned and chap. 19. upon the great judgement on the Whore ver 4. the four and twenty Elders and the four Beasts fell down and worshipped God that sate on the Thronc saying Amen Allelujah I shall now propound some considerations to you taken from some of the wonderfull things which God hath done for us that by them I may raise up your hearts to the highest straines of admiration and gratitude and quicken you up to answerable walking according to the great mercies of God bestowed on us First it hath been said What hath God wrought who hath brought this warre in a manner to an end which every one almost did think would have ended our liberties lives c. now by way of gratitude let us all labour to put an end to the warre one among and one against another I could heartily wish that the Sea of Ordinances were Chrystall very pure and not glasse and freed from fire that contentions were banished from us Revel 15. 2. me thinks we should not quarrell that one word in which we all agree viz. Saints Brethrne Members nay that reconciling word Christ for we are one Christ 1 Cor. 12 12. I say any of these words should compose all differences among us how often have some noble Commanders by a word sometimes such as that commilitones Quirites setled the distempers of a mutinous Army why should not that word Christians like that word Peace be still spoken by Christ to the winds and waves when they were most boystrous bring a great calme among us as that did once Mark 4. 39. The issue of our divisions and animosities is generally the same in effect as I have read in a story concerning two Doctors of Physick the one a Galenist and the other a Paracelsian who met at a feast and fell into a dispute the Galenist discoursed of the retentive faculty in the stomack how the meat is there depressed for a time and made fit for digestion and thence a milkie juyce is sucked by the Mesaraicae venae which forthwith is conveyed to the work-house of blood thence to the heart the store house of spirits and so these two like two carefull Purveyors send their provisions by the veynes and arteries as by two common road wayes into every part of the little Common-wealth of mans body The Paracelsian a professor and practiser quite contrary to the other as well in his order of dyet as cure opposeth himself against all these assertions partly out of opinion that he was in the right and partly out of a contentious humour and spleen which he bore to the others profession they fall from argument to railing and at last to deadly war and bitter defiance whereby the meale they then made was hindred in digestion choler encreased in the one and malancholy in the other and the blood enflamed in both so as they were both taken away without saying grace desperately sick the Galenist of a shaking ague and the Paracelsian of a dead palsie there needs no application it is well knowne that the Galenist and Paracelsian men of contrary judgements doe sometime fall to disputation from this to railing from this to distemper and sicknesse of spirit by which meanes God loseth the glory due to him and many times both lose both themselves and the truth to boot It is a sad thing to me to think that they which look on one another as Saints should behave themselves each to other as the Jewes had wont to doe toward Heathens a Hence we read of those words in the new Test 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 alienigenis so it is often objected by Josephus against the Jewes 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 whence that of Juvenal concerning the Jewes Non monstrare vias eadem nisi sacra colenti and that of Tacitus Hist 5. apud ipsos fides obstinata misericordia in promptu adversus omnes hostile odium What a miserable thing is it that this Jewish carriage and distance these excommunicating termes should be made good among those that are received into the bosome of the same Christ Althusius in his Politiques c. 31. sayes Exitus discordiarum est aut universorum interitus aut victoris dominatus regnum vid. Bodin l. 4. c. 1. there was a sad issue of those names of difference the Guelphs and the Gibbelines the Calvinists and Lutherans the Samaritans and the Jewes let us learne from them to lay aside charactericing names which ●●se at length into factions and tumults Secondly it may be said What hath God wrought for you in restoring your
