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.

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 strength_n of_o the_o sunbeam_n when_o they_o be_v so_o contract_v together_o and_o send_v through_o such_o little_a holes_n chink_n or_o craney_n of_o such_o a_o door_n as_o it_o be_v 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 not_o also_o tempt_v to_o break_v out_o now_o and_o than_o with_o a_o oath_n although_o original_o he_o be_v otherwise_o teach_v by_o his_o honest_a parent_n for_o do_v not_o good_a joseph_n learn_v to_o swear_v by_o the_o life_n of_o pharaoh_n after_o he_o have_v be_v but_o a_o little_a while_n in_o the_o egyptian_n court_n and_o it_o may_v be_v he_o have_v hear_v many_o of_o the_o egyptian_n oftentimes_o so_o to_o swear_v see_v genesis_n the_o 24_o chapter_n verse_n 15._o but_o far_o concern_v evil_a example_n i_o must_v say_v the_o great_a danger_n of_o they_o all_o be_v when_o they_o 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 example_n and_o now_o i_o far_o say_v the_o evil_a example_n that_o have_v be_v to_o frequent_o show_v in_o this_o our_o age_n by_o almost_o all_o sort_n of_o people_n of_o all_o sex_n and_o age_n 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 god_n and_o therefore_o i_o now_o believe_v that_o the_o almighty_a maker_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n now_o forth_o with_o do_v expect_v from_o every_o one_o of_o we_o a_o true_a and_o hearty_a 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 hand_n by_o the_o sign_n and_o token_n of_o his_o displeasure_n make_v manifest_a unto_o they_o both_o in_o heaven_n and_o on_o earth_n and_o if_o i_o mistake_v not_o i_o think_v the_o manifestation_n 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 nation_n and_o people_n that_o it_o be_v then_o his_o good_a will_n and_o pleasure_n to_o give_v warning_n before_o he_o strike_v be_v plain_o to_o be_v make_v manifest_a and_o to_o prove_v this_o i_o need_v not_o use_v many_o argument_n for_o both_o divine_a and_o moral_a history_n be_v full_a of_o such_o precedent_n and_o the_o first_o of_o they_o that_o i_o shall_v offer_v to_o you_o for_o the_o proof_n hereof_o shall_v be_v that_o of_o josephus_n in_o his_o moral_a history_n concern_v the_o city_n of_o jerusalem_n who_o if_o i_o mistake_v not_o therein_o say_v that_o a_o flame_v sword_n for_o a_o considerable_a time_n appear_v over_o that_o city_n before_o the_o destruction_n of_o it_o and_o if_o the_o impenitent_a jew_n have_v then_o at_o the_o sight_n thereof_o true_o repent_v who_o can_v tell_v but_o god_n may_v have_v have_v mercy_n upon_o they_o but_o they_o do_v not_o repent_v and_o therefore_o at_o last_o they_o feel_v the_o sad_a effect_n of_o it_o but_o two_o divine_a history_n say_v that_o the_o wickedness_n of_o the_o old_a world_n cause_v the_o flood_n to_o be_v bring_v upon_o they_o and_o yet_o god_n in_o his_o mercy_n then_o give_v they_o one_o hundred_o and_o twenty_o year_n to_o repent_v as_o you_o may_v read_v
