D.C.XLIII The Parliament of thunder IT is usuall in time of publique calamity for carnall men to seeke redresse for themselves alone by carnallmeanes but if we would demean our selves like faithfull servants to the Lord we should examine our selves and find out the accursed thing that provokes God to anger God strikes us not to destroy but to bring us under the wing of heaven when we oft creep into the black Cave of hellish practises our crosses are as messengers to summon us before him who will freely pardon where he finds true sorrow God that is King above all Kings and Princes Emperours and Monarches whatsoever who sits in the royall throne of Princely glory eternally at his right hand sits Iesus Christ in Princely state with all the Saints and Angels about them in the upper house of heaven cloathed with the Parliament robes of righteousnesse lined with inocencie And in the lower house of this world God hath his house of Commons where his servants meet to honour and do him worship in which house his Prophets the Pen-men of the holy Writ are his Clearkes and his Ministers are his Speakers Gods Judgements here on earth is the Bar where sentence is denounced and hell the place of finall execution upon Malignants Jn this high Court are decreed and established many permanent Lawes for the peaceable and well governing of the Church and common-wealth with many Judgements thundered out by Proclamation against the disturbers thereof for which purpose God hath appointed to take vengeance on such as do evilll Rom. 13. 1. The Prophet Esay thunders against the the Sodomitish Isaralitea and tels them that they are Rebels and traitors and by their superstitious Jdolatrie had revolted from Gods Law confirmed in this high Court they thought their superstition would be thought a blessing but the Prophet told them that God loathed it and that therefore their Land should lye wast their Cities should be burnt with fire and that strangers should murder them and make them desolate Esay 1. If we would have our Kingdome to be preserved which God Almightie grant we must take heed that we be not as rebellious as them nor revolt from the cause of God and permit Idolatry and superstition abide peaceably amongst us such peace will not bring a blessing but make us to be loathed of God and provoke him to lay our Land waste to suffer the Enemy to burn our Cities as they have done in Ireland already and we shal be in danger to have strangers fall upon us on a suddain and murder us in our Beds let us make our peace first with God then he will send us such a peace as will make us happy 2. The Prophet Ieremiah he thunders against Ierusalem for their lusts and uncleanesse and tels them that the Caldeans and the Assyrians should come like a seething pot out of the North to make their wickednesse to boyle up and that they should be plagued with them insomuch that they would submit to no rule but their own wil denying obedience to any Law Oh what a Judgement is it upon this Land at this day wherein the desperate Cavaliers in the North boyling with their lust and filthinesse do despise Religion and the people of God fight against the high Court of Parliament and bring such troubles and effusion of blood in the bowels of the Land God turn away his wrath from us that his Judgement may be removed from us for it is a very sore one 3. The Prophet Ezekiell another member of this great Parliament he is sent to a rebellious Nation impudent children and stiff-hearted and because the Lord knew how he should be hated of the Rebels therefore saith the Lord feare them not neither be affraid of their words although Rebels and thornes be with thee and thou remainest amongst Scorpions fear not their wordes nor be affraid of their lookes for they are a rebellious house Ezekiel Chap. 2. And have not the Worthies of this Parliament been maligned and scorned by Rebels impudent stiffnecked Papists and popishly-affected people but feare them not noble Senators feare not the words of these Rebels and scorpions that are so full of thorny prickles feare not be not afraid for Gods worke the labour you are about God will perfect in due time 4. The Prophet Daniel he was in captivity with the Iewes under Nabuchadnezar King of Babylon but God provided for his safety Chap. 1 and in the 3. Chap. three righteous servants of God were delivered from the fiery Fornace which most cruelly was provided to burn them to ashes but had not power so much as to touch their garments And how many fires and tortures are at this day provided to grieve and trouble the righteous soules of Gods Saints but God is al sufficient and he will provide for the safety of his People either to protect them or to go through and deliver them from and in all their troubles 5. The Prophet Hosea he by his first child declares how God will visit the blood of Iezraell upon the house of Iehu 2. By his Daughter he threatens to take Israel quite away but to have mercy on the house of Iudah whom he will save 3. By another son he declares that because Jsraell had forsaken god therefore God would fo●sake them Chap. 1. Did not the wicked zeal of the Prelats cry for vengeance on their bloody designes who though they pretended to do it for religion yet it appeared plaine enough that it was out of pride not conscience And hath not the Lord wrought by wonders such great things which by his proceedings have been brought to passe since the Parliament sate that we have cause to trust God if our rotten hearts will but hold out that Popery will quite be banisht and the true reformed Protestant Religion flourish which God grant Oh let us pray and do you noble Senators labour still till you have perfected a thorough reformation the Lord ●●osper you in it 6.

And what a lamentable thing is it to see how the Seperatists the Palmer Worme the Cavaliers the Grasse-hoppers the Iesuits Priests and Fryers and other Papists the Canker Wormes and Monopolies the C●terpillers of the Land have taken paines not only to bring a famine of Bread in our Land but a famine of
