men under the Heavens are bound to know their Creator so as to fear him but there be many of the Sons and the Daughters of Men that will labour to know him so as to love serve and to honour him which will prove most comfortable to themselves and most profitable to others Let the man be what he will or whom he will in these days of the Gospel and in the Reign of our Royal Soveraign His Majesty of Great Britain in whom the Lord of Hosts doth arise his Enemies shall be scattered and they that hate him shall flee before him as Wax melteth before the sire so will all the workers of iniquity at the presence of the Lord but the Righteous shall be glad and rejoyce for a long time The Church of Rome the King of Spain and the proud French King has endeavoured to undermine and overthrow the Protestant Religion His Majesty of Great Britain and the Church of England but the time is come that they are to know that they are to be brought very low if that they will not Conform and Reform to the Protestant Religion to the Nine and thirty Doctrines of the Church of England There is no man worthy to be a Minister of the Gospel in England Scotland France and Ireland that doth or should oppose gain-say or preach against any of the Nine and thirty Doctrines of the Church of England The Enemies against the Church of England are many both at home and abroad but I shall endeavour by the power of Faith which is the power of God for to do what I can to over-throw them as one man and to set a-work they that have power in their hand that they may be subdu'd both by Sea and Land that so the people may know the true and the everliving God and Jesus Christ whom he hath sent then will the Earth bring forth great increase and among all people in all Nations there will be a free Trade great Joy and a lasting Peace The Lord who is most Great and most Good knows when how and by whom he pleases for to speak peace to a Person a Family a City and a Kingdom and when he speaks peace to his People to any of his Saints let them not turn again to Folly but let them renew their Obedience and double their Diligence The Lord will satiate the Soul of the Priests of his Ministers with Fatness and the people with his Goodness surely his Salvation is nigh them that fear him that Glory may dwell in our Land Mercy and Truth are met together Righteousness and Peace have kissed each other Truth shall spring out of the Earth Righteousness shall look down from Heaven yea the Lord will give that which is good so that our Land will yield her Increase Righteousness will go before him and set us in the way of his Steps The Lord who is most Great and most Good will be known by his Judgments and his Mercies for he is a God that judgeth the earth for the Lord is a God of knowledge and by him all mens Thoughts and Actions are weighed That our Royal Soveraign his Majesty of Great Britain may be willing to countenance encourage and set forward this Noble Design that Divine Wisdom and Power has enabled me to make known in time for the Glory of his Great Name and to have his Enemies brought to shame His Royal Majesty will find that many Princes and Nations will assist him and that which is more than all them the God of Heaven who has all Power in his own hand and the whole Creation at Command will in these days of the Gospel and in the Reign of our Royal Soveraign make bare his Arm and manifest his Wisdom Power and Strength to bring down the Turk the Pope the French King and the King of Spain that so many Nations may be freed from slavery and throughout the whole World there may be great joy peace and prosperity Sing unto the Lord thy God O Church of England for he hath done excellent things this is known in all the Earth for among the Gods there is none like unto him there is not one that can do as he has done Say to them therefore that are of a fearful Heart be strong fear not for the True and the Everlasting God will come with vengeance and rebukes upon his Enemies but with great recompence and rewards will he come and save and deliver his People that wait upon him and put their trust and confidence in him therefore cry out and Shout thou Inhabitant of Sion thou Church of England for great is the Holy one of Israel in the midst of thee for to bring thee to great honour renown and fame and thy Enemies to great shame Behold the Whirl-wind of the Lord goeth forth with fury a continuing Whirl-wind it will fall with pain upon the Head of the Wicked the fierce anger of the Lord will not return until he hath performed the intents of his Heart in these latter daies many will see it and consider of it thy God O Church of England is my God thy cause is my cause thy troubles have been my greatest trouble and thy Enemies are my worst Enemies I have laid to Heart more the troubles of the Church of England and of his Majesty of Great Britain than the Death of a Wife and seven Children I have laid them more to Heart than all the tryals troubles losses crosses and reproaches that I have met withal from my Youth to this present time I have laid them so to Heart that many will be made to smart that have endeavoured to undermine and to overthrow the Protestant Religion his Majesty of Great Britain and the Church of England I have laid them so to Heart that many will be made to smart that will not conform and reform to the Protestant Religion as it is establisht in the Church of England When the Lyon Roars all the Beasts of the Field tremble the Lord has not been much minded nor regarded by his Judgements of Plague Fire and Sword but he will be minded and regarded by a still Voice by inabling of me for to make known his mind for the terror of Evil doers the Voice of the Lord is powerful the Voice of the Lord is full of Majesty the Voice of the Lord breaketh the Cedars yea the Lord breaketh the Cedars of Lebanon The Lord thy God O Church of England who is most great and most good will be known to be the True and Everlasting God among the Sons of men for by terrible things in Righteousness will he answer them For a long time the Lord has holden his peace he has been still and refrained himself but now will he cry like a Travelling Woman he will destroy and devour at once and that without making of many words or having the Voice much heard The time is come that in these Gospel days and in the Reign of our Royal Soveraign his Majesty of

all for all or against all when and by whom he please for as his Wisdom is unsearchable so his Power it is unresistable though the Instrument he may use among wise strong rich and learned men may be mean and contemptible But ever since that I have been precious in the Eyes of the most great and glorious God I have been honourable therefore I have not coveted after Silver or Gold Houses or Lands Offices or great Places but I have laboured and coveted to get and to keep to prove and to improve Rich Graces that so my Fruit may be better than Gold and may do more good for the Honour and Renown of the Protestant Religion for the great Exaltation of His Majesty of Great Britain and the great Peace and Prosperity of many Kingdoms than an Army of Men or thousands or ten thousands of Gold or Silver has done I have no grace but what I have received so I have none to be proud of I have not received any but what I have laboured to improve so I have not any to be prodigal with the least grace which I have received from the God of all grace I do esteem it above all the Honours and Riches in the World because that true Grace it is abiding satisfying lasting and everlasting but for the Honours the Riches and Pleasures of this World they be short they be not abiding satisfying nor long-lasting therefore they that would have Grace which is Heavenly Treasure to thrive in their Soul they must value and esteem it above Silver and Gold To be made Partaker of the Divine Nature it is high Honour and great Favour The Righteous shall be glad in the Lord because they trust in him and all the upright in heart will glory Salvation comes not from the Mountains nor from the Hills not from wise strong rich and learned men but from the Lord who made the Earth and the Heavens and that when and by whom he will that all the Glory may redound to him for his right Hand and holy Arm hath the preheminence over all persons in all Nations Let them shout for joy and be glad that favour my Righteous Cause yea let them say continually Let the Lord be magnified which hath pleasure in the Prosperity of his Servants and my Tongue shall speak of his Righteousness and of his Praise all the day long for he hath done marvellous things All the Ends of the Earth that have not seen will see the Salvation of God He maketh Wars to cease unto the End of the Earth He breaketh the Bow and cutteth the Spear asunder and burneth the Chariots in the fire when he pleaseth and by whom he please in these days of the Gospel and in the Reign of our Royal Soveraign His Majesty of Great Britain They that trust to their Chariots and Horses will fail but they that trust in the Lord Jehovah in the use of Means and above Means will prevail There is a River the Streams thereof will make glad the City of God which is the Church of God throughout the whole World For one fair Flood doth send abroad such pleasant Streams apace to refresh the City of our God and to wash his Holy Place Is not the Mighty God in Sion Go walk about and go round about her tell the Towers thereof mark ye well her Bulwarks consider her Palaces that ye may tell it to the Generation following for God who is most wise and most strong is with her and is known in her Palaces for a Refuge She is Beautiful for Situation the Joy of the whole Earth is Mount Sion and the City of the great King The Kings of the Earth in these days of the Gospel and in the Raign of our Royal Soveraign His Majesty of Great Britain they will admire her Wisdom Power and Strength her Honours Riches and great Glory Shall Deliverance be at hand and the Church of England at a stand Shall there be a Well of Water near Hagar and she weep and be in distress Who hath heard such a thing who hath seen such things Shall the Earth be made to bring forth in one day Or shall a Nation be born at once For as soon as Sion travelled she brought forth before her pain came she was delivered of a Man-child Shall the Lord who is most Wise and most Strong bring to the Birth and not cause to bring forth or cause to bring forth and shut the Womb saith thy God No it will not be for in these days of the Gospel and in the Reign of our Royal Soveraign His Majesty of Great Britain the God of Heaven has many Sons and Daughters that are grown up and many to be brought up and more to be brought forth in the use of the Means of Grace which he has appointed and the Church of England has ordained but all the Children of the Most High that are brought up and grown up and to be brought forth all is to be in opposition to the Turk the Pope and the Devil and all the Workers of Evil which will tend very much for the Glory of the Great and Mighty God for the Credit of his holy Gospel for the great Honour and Renown of the Protestant Religion the great Joy and Triumph of the Church of England the great Exaltation of His Majesty of Great Britain and the great Peace and Prosperity of many Kingdoms O that the Sons and the Daughters of Men were wise for to make an Improvement of the Wisdom and Power of the God of Heaven which is better than Strength or Weapons of War or Silver or Gold As for the Wisdom that is in the World among unbelieving Jews bruitish Atheists wicked and bloody Papists and rebellious Dissentors and Sectaries it is foolishness and doth many times end in madness for where Envy Strife and Contention is it brings forth too often Sedition and Rebellion But the Wisdom that is from above it is pure and peaceable gentle and easie to be intreated full of mercy and good fruits without partiality and without hypocrisie but where Pride Envy Strife and Contention is there is Confusion and every evil Work Now a good man and a bad man will be known by their Fruits for of Thorns men do not gather Figs nor of a Bramble-bush gather they Grapes but every Tree will be known by his own Fruit. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good that which is suitable and seasonable prositable comfortable and advantageous to many Persons and Families in a City and in a Kingdom But an evil man who is a wicked man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil to the great hurt and undoing of too many Persons and Families in a City and in a Kingdom It is commendable for the Sons of Men the wisest the strongest the richest and the most learnedst among them for to have always their heart to be Inditing
