A42091	The fast: As it was delivered in a sermon at St. Margarets in Westminster, before the honorable House of Commons upon Wednesday the 12th. of June 1661. being the day appointed by His Majesty and the Parliament, for a solemn humiliation upon the late abundance of rain, and the danger of famine, and pestilence likely to ensue thereby. / By Tho: Grenfield A.M. Preacher to the Honorable Society of Lincoln's-Inne.	Grenfield, Thomas.	1661 (1661)	Wing G1937A; ESTC R30320	22,523	38

but_o my_o application_n and_o your_o practice_n you_o be_v here_o meet_v in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n and_o what_o to_o do_v to_o fast_o and_o for_o what_o the_o suspicion_n and_o fear_n of_o a_o famine_n like_a to_o come_v upon_o we_o from_o our_o late_a abundance_n of_o rain_n threaten_v to_o spoil_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o earth_n it_o be_v very_o well_o that_o any_o thing_n will_v drive_v we_o home_o to_o god_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v observable_a how_o early_o we_o be_v in_o this_o duty_n we_o fast_o for_o a_o judgement_n that_o be_v not_o yet_o upon_o we_o further_o than_o the_o fear_n and_o suspicion_n of_o it_o it_o will_v be_v much_o more_o ingenuous_a to_o be_v early_o and_o quick_a in_o fast_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o nation_n as_o we_o be_v for_o the_o danger_n of_o it_o those_o i_o be_o sure_a be_v ripe_a enough_o and_o ready_a for_o the_o sickle_n we_o be_v much_o beyond_o the_o suspicion_n of_o sin_n we_o be_v under_o the_o commission_n of_o it_o and_o yet_o as_o yet_o we_o have_v have_v no_o fast_n for_o these_o it_o will_v very_o much_o beautify_v the_o beginning_n of_o this_o bless_a revolution_n and_o fortunate_a change_n of_o thing_n we_o live_v under_o to_o begin_v with_o such_o a_o fast_o as_o this_o but_o it_o seem_v we_o love_v our_o belly_n very_o well_o and_o as_o some_o follow_v christ_n for_o the_o loaf_n so_o we_o fast_o for_o fear_v we_o shall_v want_v the_o loaf_n we_o fast_o for_o fear_v that_o we_o shall_v fast_o but_o since_o it_o be_v so_o that_o the_o work_n of_o this_o day_n stand_v state_v to_o my_o hand_n upon_o this_o bottom_n it_o will_v be_v convenient_a before_o i_o can_v direct_v you_o how_o to_o be_v rid_v of_o this_o judgement_n to_o give_v you_o my_o judgement_n whence_o it_o come_v for_o assure_o it_o be_v no_o brutum_fw-la fulmen_fw-la no_o arrow_n shoot_v at_o rover_n no_o accident_n slip_v out_o of_o the_o womb_n of_o chance_n without_o any_o signification_n in_o it_o no_o no_o as_o god_n be_v the_o high_a reason_n so_o all_o that_o he_o do_v come_v from_o it_o and_o be_v guide_v by_o it_o his_o very_a judgement_n themselves_o be_v reasonable_a judgement_n and_o therefore_o though_o many_o thing_n come_v forth_o from_o god_n the_o cause_n of_o which_o shall_v not_o be_v know_v until_o the_o day_n of_o the_o revelation_n of_o his_o righteousness_n yet_o in_o the_o general_a he_o bid_v we_o believe_v and_o will_v have_v we_o know_v that_o he_o have_v not_o do_v without_o cause_n all_o that_o he_o have_v do_v ezek._n 14_o 23._o well_o then_o a_o reason_n for_o this_o judgement_n there_o be_v and_o what_o be_v it_o to_o tell_v you_o that_o it_o be_v wickedness_n in_o the_o general_n be_v to_o fling_v a_o whole_a loaf_n at_o your_o head_n and_o not_o to_o cut_v it_o for_o you_o but_o yet_o the_o psalmist_n tell_v we_o so_o psal_n 107._o 34._o he_o turn_v a_o faithful_a land_n into_o barrenness_n for_o the_o wickedness_n of_o they_o that_o dwell_v therein_o and_o as_o god_n tell_v adam_n gen._n 3._o 17._o that_o the_o ground_n be_v curse_v for_o his_o sake_n that_o be_v for_o his_o sin_n so_o if_o our_o ground_n now_o be_v like_a to_o undergo_v a_o curse_n it_o be_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o for_o what_o sin_n certain_o for_o some_o sin_n above_o other_o for_o as_o the_o cloud_n send_v down_o no_o other_o water_n than_o what_o the_o earth_n send_v up_o so_o there_o be_v something_o comn_v up_o from_o we_o before_o god_n that_o have_v draw_v down_o our_o present_a judgement_n on_o we_o there_o have_v be_v divers_a interpretation_n pass_v on_o this_o late_a abundance_n of_o rain_n the_o stargazer_n charge_v it_o upon_o some_o notable_a configuration_n in_o the_o heaven_n but_o yet_o as_o our_o late_a astrologer_n confess_v they_o can_v not_o read_v our_o late_a revolution_n and_o bless_a return_n of_o the_o king_n in_o any_o conjunction_n of_o the_o planet_n but_o give_v it_o clear_o up_o to_o be_v a_o miracle_n so_o if_o you_o now_o examine_v their_o almanac_n you_o shall_v not_o find_v a_o word_n foretell_v all_o this_o foul_a weather_n which_o make_v i_o think_v it_o be_v more_o than_o a_o natural_a it_o be_v a_o judicial_a effect_n and_o therefore_o other_o that_o be_v no_o good_a friend_n to_o our_o present_a welfare_n will_v adventure_v to_o make_v a_o malicious_a gloss_n upon_o the_o present_a judgement_n and_o whisper_v it_o at_o

observe_v with_o some_o pleasure_n to_o themselves_o the_o great_a rain_n that_o fall_v at_o the_o first_o treatment_n of_o his_o majesty_n in_o the_o city_n the_o great_a rain_n and_o thunder_n upon_o the_o day_n of_o his_o coronation_n and_o the_o great_a rain_n that_o have_v continue_v ever_o since_o and_o they_o make_v bold_a with_o scripture_n to_o prove_v this_o to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o judgement_n from_o 1_o sam._n 12_o 17._o where_o samu●l_o tell_v the_o people_n thus_o i_o will_v call_v unto_o the_o lord_n and_o he_o shall_v send_v thunder_n and_o rain_n that_o you_o
