I am he that comfort you who are wee that wee should feare any mortall man or the sonne of man who shall bee made as grasse forgetting the Lord our maker that hath spread out the heauens and laid the foundation of the earth c. Doubtles there is none like God O Iesehurun which rideth vpon the heauens for thine helpe and on the clouds in his glory nor any like vnto thee ô people saued by the Lord who is the shield of thine helpe and the sword of thy glorie Onely let our Asae with all Iudah and Beniamin heare the condition of amitie long agoe proclaimed by the Lords prophet The Lord is with you while you bee with him and if yee seeke him he will be found of you Then shall we be a crowne of glory in the hand of the Lord and as a roiall Diademe in the hand of our God yea he himselfe the Lord of hostes shall bee vnto vs for a crowne of glorie and for a diademe of beautie and to our King especially as to his seruant Dauid a tower of saluation shewing mercy to his annointed euen to his seruant Iames our Soueraigne and to his seed after him for euer Wherefore for conclusion to apply our selues both to that ancient counsell and the present hand of God this being as the Philosopher told the Romane Emperor no fit time for sporting when as not the sword of Perennius or any mortall enemy but the glittering sword of the immortall God may seeme to bee vnsheathed and shaken at vs let vs as many as desire to see the welfare of Ierusalem and peace vpon Israel so addresse our selues to mourning that we may prepare to meet our God comming out against vs who will no doubt be pacified towards vs and repenting of the euill will say to the destroying Angel it is sufficient hold now thine hand when hee shall behold vs humbling our selues before him in vnfained repentance and hearty praier First in repentance For seeing the Lord hath himselfe begunne to search vs as he did this people and that wee suffer doubtles for our forenamed sinnes what should we but after their example search and try our waies and turne againe vnto the Lord who now assuredly hearkneth whether any speake aright repenting him of his wickednes and saying what haue I done which if he may heare behold a booke of remembrance shall bee written before him for them that feare the Lord and thinke vpon his name Oh thē let vs for our parts write our booke of Remembrance because of all this make a sure couenant with the Lord and we our Princes our Priests put hand and seale vnto it Into which whosoeuer shall refuse to enter and to say with vs woe now vnto vs that wee haue sinned shall certainly one day bee forced to cry out woe and alasse vnto vs for wee are destroied Yea further for a speciall proofe of our sincere and serious Repentance let vs with Asa and the people vnder him vpon the forementioned admonition ioifully enter into a league and oath of association not only our selues to seeke the Lord God of our fathers with all our heart and with all our soule but also whosoeuer will not seeke the Lord God of Israel but will cleaue to or plead for Baal and either become themselues or approue of that accursed Iesuited generation that account it merit orious to vndermine and blow vp Parliament houses to murder and massacre sacred Princes yea to kill young and old nocents as they reck on them and innocents all together their friends for company so their foes may perish shall I say according to the iustice of that law let them be staine whether great or small whether man or woman nay rather in charity I wish first for their good that they might be cōpelled to serue the Lord or otherwise for our Churches peace kingdomes safety that either they were exiled quite from among vs that they might infect no longer or so curbed at least that their number and strength might not encrease to endanger vs farther For surely to speake plainely howsoeuer it be good to repose our confidence alone in God of whose careful goodnes this land hath had so plentifull experience yet shall we as behoueth vs consider the continuall machinations and attempts of these Iesuitish Locusts possessed with the spirit of their Prince Abaddon or but looke vpon the wound that freshly bleeding in our neighbors sides the reward which that redoubted French King Henry the fourth receiued for taking downe the statue of reproch and admitting a-againe this viperous broode into the heart of his kingdome how can wee iudge it lesse then a tempting of God to relie still vpon miraculous deliuerances if wee suffer meane while to the preiudice of our head the taile of the false Prophet and popery to spread it self as a contagion thorough our land Surely if the swarmes of those Locusts fill euery corner and take liberty secretly to poison and infect both the mother the children if not to packe them ouer sea to Rome or Rhemes c. to be farther corrupted we are in danger neuer to want pricks in our eies and thornes in our sides to vexvs in the good land where we dwell or cruell Esaus that gape but for a mournfull day to take aduantage against their more blessed and therefore hated brethren The God of coūsell work in the hearts of them who are in chiefest place and power carefully to prouide for the welfare and safety of this Church and state especially of that light that maketh great Britain glorious that al the smoke of the bottomles pit may neuer dazle or eclipse his shining brightnes For vs the best part of our armour against these al both enemies euils what is it but which before was noted as necessary to be adioined to our Repentance to poure forth earnest and seruent praier vnto the Lord with whō hauing power wee shall vndoubtedly preuaile with men First for our selues and land in generall that our crying sins the causes of iudgement vpon our true Repentance being pardoned there may be an end put to the Lords cōtrouersie that the peace being renewed beween God and vs we may haue all prosperity or if the Lord shal see that we stand in need of farther chastisement he would be pleased yet to allow vs Dauids choise that we may fal into his hands with whō is mercy and not into the hands of vnreasonable and ruthlesse men Secondly and principally let our praier be vnto God for his royall Maiesty as to preserue his Princely person making his daies vpon earth as the daies of Heauen that vnder him we may leade a quiet peaceable life in all honesty and godlines wishing him what the ancient Christians did vnto their Emperors that God would grant him a long life c. so
