A54054	Some considerations proposed to the City of London, and the Nation of England to calm their spirits and prepare them to wait for what the Lord is bringing about, that they may not run readily into their own ruin and destruction, and by this extraordinary heat of their spirits kindle that fire, which will soon devour them. With a short exhortation to them, relating to their true settlement, and the removal of that which hinders it.	Penington, Isaac, 1616-1679.	1659 (1659)	Wing P1190; ESTC R218737	2,134	1

bring_v about_o that_o they_o may_v not_o run_v heady_o into_o their_o own_o ruin_n and_o destruction_n and_o by_o this_o extraordinary_a heat_n of_o their_o spirit_n kindle_v that_o fire_n which_o will_v soon_o devour_v they_o with_o a_o short_a exhortation_n to_o they_o relate_v to_o their_o true_a settlement_n and_o the_o removal_n of_o that_o which_o hinder_v it_o 1._o the_o lord_n god_n almighty_a who_o make_v heaven_n and_o earthly_a who_o uphold_v they_o by_o the_o word_n of_o his_o power_n who_o they_o be_v with_o all_o their_o inhabitant_n he_o rule_v in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o man_n establish_v or_o overturn_v law_n government_n and_o governor_n at_o his_o pleasure_n psal._n 75._o 5._o etc._n etc._n don._n 4._o 25_o 35._o 2._o that_o the_o lord_n have_v have_v a_o especial_a hand_n in_o the_o shake_n and_o change_n of_o this_o nation_n and_o have_v some_o great_a thing_n to_o bring_v about_o which_o he_o order_v all_o unto_o and_o though_o many_o of_o the_o transaction_n and_o passage_n as_o relate_v to_o man_n have_v be_v very_o ●lamable_a yet_o the_o lord_n have_v be_v just_a and_o good_a in_o they_o all_o and_o can_v in_o his_o own_o good_a time_n recover_v the_o ground_n which_o he_o have_v seem_v to_o lose_v and_o advantage_n both_o the_o good_a of_o his_o people_n and_o of_o the_o nation_n by_o all_o their_o suffering_n loss_n discouragement_n and_o disadvantage_n 3._o in_o this_o late_a revolution_n there_o may_v be_v more_o of_o god_n than_o man_n be_v a_o ware_n of_o god_n in_o his_o infinite_a wisdom_n may_v see_v that_o this_o parliament_n be_v not_o fit_a for_o the_o work_n and_o so_o may_v suffer_v such_o a_o thing_n to_o fall_v out_o between_o they_o and_o the_o army_n heightening_v their_o spirit_n on_o both_o side_n as_o may_v occasion_v the_o removal_n of_o they_o out_o of_o the_o way_n yea_o and_o this_o present_a change_n may_v be_v but_o a_o passage_n to_o another_o unless_o the_o lord_n find_v these_o very_a faithful_a and_o diligent_a in_o his_o service_n and_o not_o mind_v themselves_o and_o their_o own_o interest_n 4._o if_o this_o late_a revolution_n be_v of_o god_n and_o he_o see_v it_o good_a to_o bring_v it_o about_o for_o the_o further_o carry_v on_o of_o his_o work_n he_o will_v be_v able_a to_o maintain_v it_o and_o those_o that_o oppose_v he_o therein_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o stand_v before_o he_o they_o may_v bring_v ruin_n upon_o the_o nation_n and_o themselves_o but_o they_o can_v set_v up_o what_o god_n throw_v down_o nor_o raise_v up_o any_o thing_n else_o in_o the_o stead_n of_o it_o according_a to_o their_o will_n but_o that_o which_o he_o by_o his_o providence_n and_o dispose_v hand_n appoint_v to_o succeed_v must_v have_v the_o time_n of_o trial_n which_o he_o allot_v it_o therefore_o let_v man_n fear_v the_o lord_n god_n who_o eye_n be_v upon_o we_o and_o who_o power_n be_v over_o we_o and_o let_v we_o take_v heed_n of_o be_v find_v fighter_n against_o he_o the_o cause_n have_v long_o lie_v bleed_v yet_o there_o be_v at_o length_n a_o true_a revive_n of_o it_o and_o those_o who_o heart_n the_o lord_n have_v stir_v up_o to_o seek_v it_o faithful_o the_o lord_n will_v be_v with_o they_o and_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o pardon_v their_o former_a miscarriage_n but_o oh_o that_o they_o can_v lay_v themselves_o low_a and_o forget_v their_o own_o interest_n that_o the_o cause_n may_v rise_v up_o clear_a and_o manifest_a above_o they_o remember_v this_o say_n o_o you_o great_a one_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o throw_v down_o the_o former_a greatness_n of_o the_o nobility_n for_o you_o to_o rise_v up_o in_o their_o place_n but_o you_o shall_v have_v lie_v low_a and_o remain_v little_a and_o have_v let_v the_o lord_n be_v great_a and_o it_o be_v your_o true_a interest_n to_o descend_v and_o become_v little_a again_o and_o if_o it_o be_v once_o manifest_a that_o you_o do_v not_o seek_v yourselves_o but_o the_o cause_n of_o god_n the_o good_a of_o his_o people_n and_o of_o the_o nation_n that_o every_o part_n and_o sort_n of_o man_n may_v feel_v their_o oppression_n break_v and_o their_o just_a right_n and_o liberty_n recover_v and_o preserve_v for_o they_o this_o will_v draw_v the_o heart_n of_o all_o the_o honest_a haert_a people_n to_o you_o as_o one_o man_n and_o those_o which_o have_v be_v scatter_v will_v be_v again_o unite_v and_o our_o very_a enemy_n see_v our_o integrity_n and_o righteousness_n and_o true_a reformation_n by_o the_o wisdom_n and_o guidance_n of_o god_n will_v magnify_v that_o work_n of_o god_n which_o as_o yet_o can_v but_o be_v a_o reproach_n therefore_o o_o england_n fear_v before_o the_o lord_n and_o wait_v upon_o he_o and_o let_v thy_o eye_n be_v take_v off_o from_o man_n for_o he_o be_v very_a vanity_n neither_o thy_o good_a nor_o thy_o harm_n arise_v this_o way_n but_o out_o of_o thy_o own_o bowel_n what_o have_v all_o these_o affliction_n do_v towards_o the_o refine_n of_o thou_o be_v not_o thou_o yet_o what_o thou_o be_v o_o england_n will_v thou_o not_o be_v make_v clean_o when_o shall_v it_o once_o be_v murmur_v not_o against_o the_o rod_n wherewith_o the_o lord_n see_v good_a to_o chastise_v thou_o but_o mourn_v over_o thy_o wickedness_n thy_o pride_n thy_o deceit_n thy_o excess_n thy_o cruelty_n thy_o oppression_n thy_o false_a worship_n and_o idolatry_n etc._n etc._n and_o over_o thy_o enmity_n against_o that_o which_o be_v of_o god_n where_o ever_o it_o appear_v at_o the_o beginning_n of_o these_o trouble_n thou_o can_v bear_v with_o no_o form_n of_o worship_n but_o thy_o own_o now_o thou_o be_v come_v thus_o far_o that_o thou_o can_v almost_o bear_v with_o any_o form_n nay_o but_o that_o will_v not_o serve_v the_o lord_n will_v have_v

with_o thou_o and_o the_o cause_n of_o all_o thy_o misery_n when_o misery_n distress_n and_o ruin_n have_v open_v thy_o eye_n thou_o will_v see_v it_o oh_o that_o thy_o day_n of_o calamity_n may_v pass_v over_o thou_o if_o thou_o can_v indeed_o humble_v thyself_o before_o the_o lord_n and_o not_o walk_v any_o long_o thus_o contrary_a to_o he_o in_o the_o work_n which_o he_o be_v resolve_v to_o bring_v about_o the_o lord_n may_v pity_v and_o spare_v thou_o for_o he_o delight_v in_o mercy_n but_o if_o thou_o continue_v to_o walk_v contrary_a to_o he_o and_o will_v be_v settle_v afore_o his_o time_n and_o in_o a_o way_n and_o by_o such_o mean_n as_o he_o approve_v not_o the_o step_n of_o his_o power_n against_o thou_o will_v overturn_v thou_o therefore_o fear_n and_o be_v humble_a and_o meek_a before_o he_o for_o therein_o lie_v the_o wisdom_n which_o can_v preserve_v thou_o but_o strive_v not_o to_o withstand_v his_o footstep_n lest_o he_o trample_v down_o thy_o crown_n thy_o
