A53112	The complaint of English subjects delivered in two parts. First part, is the complaint, of the poor, middle, and meanest sorts of subjects, concerning their bodily assistance. Second part, is the true Christians complaint, against vice, and wickedness, for the good of their soul's health. Also, werein is set forth, the late prodigious growth, of atheism, errors, and vice: with a call to repentance. As also, how needful it is, in these times, for every one of us, first of all, to look into our own hearts, and endeavour to amend what is their amiss. And lastly, a brief discourse, concerning our late unfruitful, and cold summers: as also, what is thought to be the real causes of it, by way of opposition, to the opinion of astrologers.

deem_v and_o take_v as_o if_o it_o be_v do_v to_o himself_o as_o may_v be_v see_v in_o the_o same_o 25_o chapter_n of_o saint_n matthew_n gospel_n aforesaid_a begin_v at_o the_o 41_o verse_n and_o

give_v to_o himself_o and_o for_o the_o further_a proof_n of_o this_o look_v also_o in_o the_o 19_o chapter_n of_o proverb_n vers_fw-la the_o 17._o it_o be_v there_o say_v he_o that_o have_v pity_n

the_o whole_a 28_o chapter_n of_o deuteronomy_n and_o there_o may_v be_v see_v what_o blessing_n the_o great_a god_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n have_v in_o store_n for_o such_o as_o do_v well_o as_o

afterward_o and_o to_o make_v this_o more_o plain_a by_o way_n of_o similitude_n i_o say_v with_o my_o eye_n have_v i_o see_v a_o fair_a flourish_a orchard_n with_o delicate_a blossom_n sprout_v out_o with_o great_a life_n and_o vigour_n and_o very_o likely_a to_o produce_v much_o fruit_n to_o the_o owner_n thereof_o who_o seem_o upon_o the_o first_o sight_n of_o it_o do_v then_o depend_v upon_o have_v much_o fruit_n that_o year_n but_o then_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o a_o few_o frosty_a morning_n or_o with_o some_o blast_n of_o lightning_n be_v either_o wither_a or_o scorch_v and_o so_o lose_v

then_o say_v come_v i_o have_v a_o good_a stock_n of_o old_a cider_n leave_v and_o for_o apple_n i_o believe_v we_o shall_v not_o want_v they_o very_o much_o for_o i_o believe_v i_o shall_v have_v

that_o this_o gentleman_n be_v old_a stock_n of_o cider_n be_v well_o nigh_o spend_v before_o winter_n come_v on_o and_o when_o christmas_n come_v he_o have_v no_o cider_n to_o give_v to_o his_o

such_o evil-doing_n as_o these_o sometime_o will_v be_v and_o yet_o no_o man_n can_v help_v it_o and_o therefore_o if_o any_o man_n know_v himself_o to_o be_v abuse_v and_o can_v help_v himself_o so_o

chink_n of_o a_o door_n that_o enclose_v a_o dark_a room_n and_o indeed_o and_o in_o truth_n i_o may_v very_o well_o now_o say_v that_o such_o evil_a man_n as_o aforesaid_a do_v always_o delight_v to_o be_v in_o dark_a room_n and_o they_o do_v not_o love_n light_n nor_o do_v they_o any_o way_n desire_v that_o the_o son_n of_o righteousness_n shall_v ever_o shine_v into_o their_o room_n among_o they_o for_o than_o they_o know_v that_o all_o their_o black_a deed_n will_v be_v as_o plain_o see_v by_o all_o man_n as_o earthly_a atom_n be_v see_v in_o a_o dark_a room_n by_o the_o power_n and_o

beforementioned_a again_o i_o say_v evil_a example_n be_v very_o malignant_a in_o their_o own_o nature_n and_o that_o many_o way_n as_o by_o woeful_a experience_n it_o have_v be_v oftentimes_o find_v for_o when_o the_o father_n be_v a_o common_a drunkard_n the_o son_n oftentime_o do_v prove_v to_o be_v the_o like_a and_o indeed_o according_a to_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n it_o be_v not_o much_o to_o be_v admire_v at_o for_o custom_n be_v a_o second_o nature_n and_o some_o man_n do_v by_o custom_n bring_v up_o their_o child_n so_o to_o do_v as_o they_o love_v to_o do_v themselves_o for_o when_o the_o son_n go_v to_o call_v his_o drunken_a father_n home_o from_o the_o alehouse_n or_o tavern_n he_o will_v then_o make_v his_o child_n drink_v several_a time_n perhaps_o much_o against_o his_o stomach_n and_o then_o when_o the_o lad_n squeamish_a stomach_n loathe_v the_o take_n in_o of_o so_o much_o liquor_n than_o the_o drunken_a father_n say_v how_o sirrah_n can_v you_o drink_v what_o you_o doubt_n know_v what_o be_v good_a for_o yourself_o come_v drink_v it_o all_o up_o boy_n and_o i_o will_v make_v you_o love_v good_a liquor_n as_o well_o as_o myself_o for_o i_o find_v it_o to_o be_v a_o great_a comfort_n to_o my_o heart_n and_o this_o way_n the_o drunkard_n in_o time_n make_v his_o son_n to_o become_v as_o common_a a_o drunkard_n as_o himself_o but_o again_o sometime_o if_o so_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o son_n of_o a_o debauch_n lascivious_a father_n in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o infancy_n make_v some_o observation_n of_o his_o father_n lewd_a action_n though_o at_o that_o time_n perhaps_o for_o want_v of_o reason_n he_o be_v not_o capable_a to_o think_v it_o to_o be_v in_o his_o father_n any_o way_n immodest_a or_o evil_a but_o then_o after_o that_o when_o he_o the_o son_n come_v to_o see_v more_o year_n in_o the_o world_n and_o be_v then_o somewhat_o more_o ripen_v in_o age_n and_o his_o own_o wanton_a desire_n begin_v to_o display_v themselves_o within_o his_o own_o breast_n then_o perhaps_o he_o begin_v to_o recall_v to_o mind_n the_o former_a action_n that_o he_o have_v oftentimes_o see_v by_o his_o lascivious_a father_n and_o then_o think_v he_o within_o himself_o why_o may_v not_o i_o myself_o do_v the_o like_a and_o thus_o through_o want_n of_o good_a example_n he_o be_v prone_a to_o all_o manner_n of_o evil_a and_o then_o he_o the_o son_n present_o let_v we_o loose_v the_o reins_o of_o his_o will_n to_o run_v into_o all_o manner_n of_o wickedness_n and_o thus_o such_o evil_a example_n be_v oftentimes_o the_o chief_a secondary_a cause_n that_o have_v corrupt_v so_o many_o thousand_o of_o our_o brave_a vigorous_a young_a man_n so_o as_o that_o thereby_o at_o last_o many_o of_o they_o have_v pay_v the_o debt_n which_o they_o owe_v to_o nature_n with_o their_o untimely_a death_n and_o instead_o of_o a_o christian_a burial_n in_o the_o churchyard_n they_o have_v be_v throw_v into_o a_o most_o shameful_a grave_n under_o the_o gallow_n again_o the_o same_o may_v be_v say_v concern_v mother_n and_o daughter_n for_o if_o the_o mother_n throughout_o her_o whole_a life_n and_o conversation_n be_v vicious_o give_v to_o all_o manner_n of_o lewdness_n and_o wickedness_n then_o it_o be_v a_o rare_a thing_n to_o see_v the_o daughter_n of_o such_o a_o woman_n true_o virtuous_a though_o sometime_o now_o and_o than_o it_o be_v know_v that_o wicked_a parent_n have_v have_v good_a child_n and_o good_a parent_n have_v have_v wicked_a child_n but_o much_o more_o often_o it_o be_v know_v that_o good_a education_n and_o good_a example_n have_v often_o time_n change_v the_o corrupt_a nature_n of_o many_o so_o as_o that_o by_o mean●_n thereof_o they_o at_o last_o have_v become_v tolerable_o good_a that_o otherwise_o will_v have_v be_v most_o notorious_o evil_a and_o by_o this_o also_o may_v be_v see_v what_o effect_v good_a or_o evil_a example_n can_v produce_v the_o like_a also_o concern_v good_a and_o evil_a example_n may_v be_v say_v between_o master_n and_o servant_n for_o if_o the_o master_n be_v a_o common_a swearer_n it_o be_v much_o if_o the_o servant_n be_v

be_v find_v in_o magistrate_n and_o minister_n for_o they_o hereby_o do_v not_o only_o corrupt_a single_a person_n or_o peculiar_a family_n but_o whole_a city_n town_n and_o village_n but_o again_o the_o next_o thing_n that_o will_v come_v in_o this_o my_o way_n of_o discourse_n i_o think_v will_v be_v to_o endeavour_v to_o set_v forth_o the_o sad_a and_o direful_a effect_n of_o such_o evil_a

have_v be_v the_o only_a secondary_a cause_n that_o have_v infuse_v into_o our_o heart_n this_o now_o general_a reign_v corruption_n by_o mean_n of_o which_o many_o way_n we_o have_v high_o offend_v

repentance_n with_o the_o amendment_n of_o our_o life_n and_o restitution_n make_v to_o those_o who_o we_o have_v any_o way_n wrong_v or_o otherwise_o we_o may_v for_o aught_o i_o know_v to_o soon_o feel_v the_o weight_n of_o god_n wrath_n power_v down_o upon_o we_o but_o yet_o nevertheless_o by_o experience_n it_o have_v be_v find_v that_o before_o the_o almighty_a god_n have_v pover_v down_o the_o viol_n of_o his_o wrath_n upon_o the_o head_n of_o the_o most_o wicked_a and_o vile_a sinner_n he_o out_o of_o his_o great_a mercy_n have_v hitherto_o always_o give_v they_o warning_n before_o

of_o such_o token_n of_o god_n displeasure_n against_o a_o nation_n have_v or_o may_v of_o late_a year_n be_v plain_o see_v in_o england_n but_o however_o when_o god_n be_v displease_v with_o any_o

be_v and_o otherwise_o they_o can_v be_v and_o this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o our_o astrologer_n in_o this_o cause_n now_o state_v again_o the_o like_a also_o they_o say_v of_o any_o man_n nativity_n that_o from_o the_o influence_n of_o the_o star_n all_o thing_n be_v ordain_v and_o appoint_v out_o for_o they_o and_o what_o shall_v betide_v they_o here_o in_o this_o world_n and_o therefore_o whether_o it_o be_v good_a or_o evil_a they_o say_v man_n must_v be_v content_v with_o their_o fate_n and_o so_o it_o appear_v by_o their_o opinion_n that_o every_o one_o by_o the_o influence_n of_o the_o star_n must_v be_v either_o good_a or_o evil_a more_o or_o less_o in_o their_o several_a degree_n and_o qualification_n of_o their_o mind_n as_o well_o as_o rich_a or_o poor_a in_o fortune_n for_o i_o do_v not_o understand_v that_o they_o do_v any_o of_o they_o make_v any_o exception_n in_o these_o thing_n and_o if_o so_o than_o those_o astrologer_n make_v room_n for_o atheism_n also_o and_o indeed_o great_a pity_n it_o be_v that_o so_o many_o wise_a man_n in_o worldly_a affair_n shall_v be_v so_o ignorant_a in_o that_o point_n as_o to_o put_v any_o confidence_n in_o such_o lie_a fop_n as_o many_o of_o they_o be_v who_o very_a prediction_n give_v themselves_o contradiction_n by_o which_o any_o man_n may_v see_v that_o they_o all_o of_o they_o err_v in_o their_o art_n or_o judgement_n in_o such_o high_a degree_n as_o that_o the_o best_a of_o their_o prediction_n deserve_v to_o be_v despise_v and_o contemn_v for_o thereby_o they_o do_v pretend_v to_o know_v the_o very_a secret_n of_o god_n himself_o which_o be_v impossible_a for_o any_o man_n to_o know_v and_o i_o question_v whether_o the_o angel_n in_o heaven_n do_v know_v what_o shall_v betide_v every_o man_n on_o earth_n until_o god_n himself_o be_v please_v to_o reveal_v such_o thing_n to_o they_o when_o he_o send_v they_o forth_o as_o his_o messenger_n to_o execute_v his_o will_n either_o in_o mercy_n or_o judgement_n to_o good_a or_o evil_a man_n whilst_o they_o be_v here_o upon_o the_o earth_n and_o therefore_o if_o such_o secret_n be_v not_o know_v to_o angel_n how_o come_v they_o to_o be_v know_v to_o such_o man_n as_o call_v themselves_o astrologer_n who_o be_v in_o themselves_o some_o of_o they_o almost_o as_o bad_a as_o devil_n and_o i_o have_v no_o need_n to_o have_v say_v almost_o as_o bad_a for_o the_o very_a devil_n themselves_o believe_v and_o tremble_v but_o such_o man_n as_o do_v pretend_v to_o this_o great_a art_n in_o astrology_n some_o of_o they_o have_v as_o i_o have_v be_v tell_v deny_v the_o very_a be_v of_o god_n himself_o but_o however_o i_o will_v always_o own_v and_o honour_v all_o such_o man_n as_o have_v this_o great_a knowledge_n of_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o heavenly_a body_n provide_v they_o do_v not_o go_v beyond_o their_o last_o or_o station_n for_o they_o be_v very_o useful_a to_o we_o all_o to_o know_v the_o time_n and_o season_n of_o the_o year_n and_o i_o hope_v some_o of_o they_o do_v believe_v in_o the_o one_o and_o only_o true_a god_n and_o also_o do_v allow_v he_o to_o be_v the_o only_o whole_a and_o sole_a creator_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o that_o he_o can_v and_o do_v many_o time_n alter_v and_o change_v the_o course_n of_o those_o heavenly_a body_n for_o to_o serve_v his_o own_o purpose_n how_o and_o when_o he_o please_v or_o otherwise_o it_o will_v be_v very_o sad_a if_o all_o of_o they_o shall_v be_v atheistical_o mind_v but_o i_o have_v more_o charity_n for_o some_o of_o they_o than_o so_o to_o think_v of_o they_o but_o for_o any_o of_o their_o absolute_a prediction_n i_o take_v they_o to_o be_v very_o vain_a and_o foolish_a and_o think_v it_o great_a folly_n in_o any_o one_o to_o fear_v they_o or_o any_o way_n in_o the_o least_o to_o depend_v upon_o they_o for_o certain_o no_o man_n can_v tell_v what_o shall_v betide_v a_o child_n by_o his_o know_v the_o very_a minuit_n of_o the_o hour_n that_o he_o be_v bear_v into_o the_o world_n for_o such_o thing_n as_o these_o be_v secret_n which_o be_v know_v to_o none_o but_o god_n himself_o and_o i_o do_v aver_v it_o that_o it_o be_v above_o and_o beyond_o the_o art_n of_o any_o man_n in_o the_o world_n to_o foretell_v punctual_o every_o thing_n that_o shall_v betide_v any_o man_n here_o in_o this_o subluminary_n world_n and_o such_o thing_n as_o these_o some_o astrologer_n pretend_v to_o foretell_v and_o some_o man_n there_o be_v now_o live_v that_o do_v put_v too_o must_v trust_v in_o they_o and_o seem_v to_o plead_v for_o the_o certainty_n of_o their_o knowledge_n for_o say_v they_o some_o of_o they_o do_v ramble_v very_o right_a in_o some_o of_o their_o prediction_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v the_o great_a fool_n in_o nature_n may_v sometime_o by_o chance_n answer_v apt_o to_o some_o question_n but_o it_o be_v very_o rare_a that_o they_o do_v so_o and_o it_o be_v altogether_o so_o rare_a a_o thing_n to_o see_v or_o know_v any_o of_o their_o prediction_n to_o fall_v out_o so_o pat_o to_o their_o purpose_n as_o fool_n do_v sometime_o by_o chance_n so_o pat_o answer_v the_o question_n put_v to_o they_o but_o as_o to_o the_o truth_n of_o any_o of_o their_o prediction_n they_o be_v very_o uncertain_a thing_n and_o much_o more_o uncertain_a than_o any_o lottery_n whatsoever_o for_o in_o they_o there_o be_v certain_o some_o prize_n for_o the_o many_o blank_n that_o do_v belong_v to_o they_o but_o there_o be_v no_o certainty_n at_o all_o for_o the_o very_a truth_n of_o any_o of_o the_o astrologer_n prediction_n whatsoever_o that_o they_o shall_v real_o come_v to_o pass_v as_o they_o predict_v it_o but_o however_o for_o argument-sake_n i_o think_v it_o fit_a to_o compair_v their_o prediction_n to_o be_v somewhat_o like_a unto_o lottery_n as_o to_o the_o uncertainty_n of_o they_o for_o a_o man_n may_v loose_v much_o money_n to_o a_o lottery_n before_o he_o may_v get_v one_o prize_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o that_o now_o and_o than_o by_o the_o turn_n of_o a_o accidental_a die_n after_o many_o throw_v there_o may_v at_o last_o turn_v up_o a_o prize_n and_o so_o among_o so_o many_o of_o their_o prediction_n now_o and_o than_o accidental_o some_o thing_n may_v happen_v to_o fall_v out_o to_o be_v somewhat_o like_a what_o they_o have_v before_o predict_v in_o such_o dark_a problem_n as_o they_o usual_o utter_v they_o which_o have_v also_o in_o they_o a_o very_a large_a relation_n to_o many_o other_o common_a accident_n that_o usual_o do_v fall_v out_o many_o time_n but_o then_o if_o any_o of_o these_o accident_n agree_v with_o their_o prediction_n then_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v not_o untell_v of_o it_o by_o themselves_o although_o at_o the_o same_o time_n those_o astrologer_n by_o their_o foreknowing_a skill_n know_v nothing_o of_o the_o reality_n of_o such_o thing_n that_o it_o shall_v certain_o come_v to_o pass_v but_o their_o prediction_n be_v so_o various_o express_v that_o they_o will_v bear_v several_a construction_n and_o by_o that_o way_n chance-medlee_a may_v bring_v to_o pass_v now_o and_o than_o some_o little_a thing_n something_o like_o to_o what_o they_o predict_v which_o the_o astrologer_n will_v be_v sure_a to_o catch_v at_o and_o will_v say_v that_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n they_o mean_v in_o their_o prediction_n when_o perhaps_o it_o be_v never_o in_o their_o thought_n bfeore_o only_o they_o will_v allow_v it_o to_o be_v so_o when_o any_o such_o thing_n so_o fall_v out_o to_o serve_v their_o turn_n but_o again_o if_o i_o mistake_v not_o the_o very_a foundation_n of_o all_o their_o art_n be_v ground_v on_o no_o better_a bottom_n than_o from_o the_o observation_n of_o ancient_a astrologer_n who_o do_v then_o in_o their_o day_n both_o quote_v and_o chronicle_n the_o several_a position_n of_o the_o heavenly_a body_n and_o the_o effect_n which_o ensue_v in_o their_o time_n and_o so_o have_v leave_v it_o down_o to_o our_o posterity_n that_o it_o be_v their_o judgement_n that_o when_o the_o heavenly_a body_n shall_v be_v at_o any_o time_n after_o their_o time_n in_o the_o same_o position_n that_o they_o be_v then_o in_o their_o time_n that_o then_o the_o same_o like_a effect_n will_v follow_v again_o that_o do_v happen_v to_o be_v and_o fall_v out_o in_o their_o time_n whilst_o they_o be_v then_o live_v which_o precedent_n be_v to_o i_o no_o sufficient_a reason_n nor_o can_v it_o as_o i_o think_v be_v a_o sufficient_a reason_n to_o satisfy_v any_o rational_a man_n for_o li●●e_a cause_n have_v not_o always_o their_o like_a effect_n as_o may_v be_v see_v in_o many_o thing_n throughout_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o nature_n and_o in_o such_o thing_n too_o as_o be_v plain_o within_o
