behold a pack of insolent Theives and Murderers who turned the Sons of Justice out of her Temple and shut her Gates against them they looked for a pure Religion and undefiled but behold the Widows and Fatherless devoured the Levite despised the Temples profaned demollished some in part some whole Unity Charity Verity exiled the Sacraments by some suspended by others neglected and by the generallity quite slighted the Word of God wrested and baffled the holy Law trampled Order Dec ney Maintenance Government and every other property of a Regular Church quite outed and instead thereof crept in Schism Heresie Perjury Blasphemy Sacriledge Ataxy and every other quality of Disformity in a word our whole Church and Nation were so strangely disfigured and metamorphos'd as we became both a shame to our selves and an obloquie to the world And thus have we found Deceit enough and in all likelyhood as much Sin What remains then but that every man gulity as aforesaid should betake himself to Repentance and in Repentance to confess there being no one act in the work of Repentance doth so much glorifie God as Confession in regard that the Creature in assuming shame to himself transfers all the glory to his Creator accordingly St. John speaks in 1 Joh. 1. 9. If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive and this was the counsel of Joshua to Achan Confess my son and give glory to God and this was the practice of the Penitentiaries in Ezra's time who confest publickly the very particular sin they were Nationally guilty of their strange wives and St. Paul also comes to particulars confessing 1 Tim. 1. 13. I was a Persecutor a Blasphemer and Injurious and so indeed should all the offending and deceived Party in England confess their sins one unto another and say Oh my beloved Brother or Brethren it hath pleased God to give you his Grace of conduct in the wayes of Truth and Peace and Loyalty ●ut we have sadly erred and been deceived Oh favour us with your Christian Indulgence But how long shall I endeavour to perswade this and obtain nothing Disloalty as they say being impudent and brazen fac'd as ever and like the Whore in the Prophet Jeremy refuseth to be ashamed Instance not only in the case of the first and last executed who instead of satisfying Justice by their bloud for so much Innocent and Pretious Bloud shed by them seem'd rather to justifie themselves in what they had done as if they would have sealed to it with their bloud and dyed Martyrs for wickedness but also the survivers of that Confederacy who are still chewing upon the Leeks and Garlick of Egypt and their breath stinks so much thereof as the very words they speak smell strong of a Captain to conduct them thither again and not only those but some of another Interest who led the Van of the late armed wickedness and yet instead of Confessions Deprecations and Submissions they seem to justifie themselves in what they have done by insisting their Covenant that Engine of Wickedness and so wipe their mouths as if they had neither done nor spoke any thing amiss and fall to Expostulations and Complainings and would fain insimulate as if very much wrong were done them whilest they detain other mens rights whom I speak of with a reserve nevertheless of Christian respect unto those of that Denomination in general who we hope are better thew'd for their own particular as considerable worth hath manifested them by some contrary actions which they defend and assert with much eagerness and mordacity though they are no other than the wages of unrighteousness given them by the late Rebellious Power as a reward of their faithfulness to the Good Old Gause for which they might as well have perished in the gainsaying of Corah as those that did Beloved This is not the way to obtain Peace with God or Men I could wish rather that I might hear them and all others of their Engagement say with Saul to David Behold I have play'd the Fool and erred exceedingly but blessed be then my Son David Behold my good Brother or Brethren we have play'd the Fools and erred exceedingly against our King Church and Laws whereas you by the grace of God have been led in Peace and Loyal Righteousness blessed be you therein and impact the comfort thereof unto us also by favouring us with your Christian compassion or that I might hear them say with David himself I have gone astray like a sheep O seek thy servant for I do not forget thy Commandements then should we receive them into the Armes of our Christian and Brotherly embraces and pray for them in the Language of our holy Letany That it may please thee O Lord to bring into the way of Truth all such as have erred and are deceived FINIS If through haste any faults have happened in letters or syllables of words the Readers favour is desired in excusing them as this one particular World pag. 29. line the last for Word A Catalogue of some Books Printed for Henry Brome at the Gun in Ivy-lane 〈◊〉 on the Major Prophers in folio The History of Portugal Cases of Conscience in the late Reb●llion by Mr. Lyford Mr. Grenfields Loyal Sermon before the Parliament Dr. Browns Sepulchal Urns and Garden of Cyrus in 8.
