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.

our_o power_n evermore_o shun_v all_o manner_n of_o evil_n and_o then_o we_o may_v yet_o hope_v for_o mercy_n at_o god_n hand_n but_o otherwise_o no_o less_o can_v be_v expect_v from_o he_o but_o his_o most_o severe_a judgement_n to_o be_v pour_v down_o upon_o we_o and_o now_o seven_o i_o say_v from_o the_o holy_a bible_n which_o i_o believe_v to_o be_v the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n and_o from_o the_o experience_n of_o my_o own_o action_n as_o also_o from_o the_o observation_n and_o experience_n of_o many_o other_o man_n action_n that_o i_o have_v know_v or_o have_v hear_v of_o from_o the_o mouth_n of_o credible_a person_n i_o have_v ground_v all_o these_o my_o former_a discourse_n from_o which_o fountain_n have_v fly_v all_o that_o i_o have_v say_v wherein_o i_o have_v endeavour_v to_o set_v forth_o the_o several_a wicked_a action_n of_o almost_o all_o people_n here_o within_o this_o out_o land_n or_o nation_n and_o with_o these_o our_o action_n god_n be_v not_o well_o please_v as_o do_v appear_v by_o the_o several_a sign_n and_o token_n of_o his_o displeasure_n which_o may_v be_v see_v plain_o if_o we_o look_v no_o far_o than_o this_o how_o every_o year_n year_n after_o year_n now_o of_o late_a one_o part_n or_o other_o of_o our_o land_n have_v fail_v of_o have_v plentiful_a crop_n of_o corn_n much_o more_o than_o usual_o it_o have_v heretofore_o in_o some_o year_n past_a before_o these_o now_o late_o scanty_a year_n for_o former_o i_o have_v know_v for_o many_o year_n together_o we_o have_v have_v plentiful_a crop_n year_n after_o year_n but_o it_o be_v much_o to_o be_v doubt_v that_o that_o time_n of_o fullness_n of_o bread_n make_v we_o fat_a as_o that_o we_o thereby_o only_o grow_v wanton_a and_o lascivious_a and_o so_o consequent_o have_v run_v into_o all_o manner_n of_o evil_n but_o now_o it_o seem_v to_o appear_v to_o i_n that_o god_n have_v of_o late_o be_v please_v to_o try_v we_o with_o a_o scanty_a thereby_o to_o see_v how_o every_o one_o of_o we_o will_v behave_v ourselves_o under_o it_o and_o it_o may_v be_v also_o to_o see_v whether_o the_o poor_a will_v thereby_o become_v true_o penitent_a as_o also_o to_o see_v whether_o the_o rich_a will_v be_v charitable_a for_o indeed_o it_o appear_v so_o to_o i_n both_o by_o the_o eye_n of_o reason_n and_o faith_n as_o if_o god_n of_o late_a year_n have_v so_o order_v thing_n to_o be_v only_o to_o try_v we_o in_o and_o by_o these_o way_n and_o manner_n of_o deal_n with_o we_o for_o by_o observation_n of_o late_a year_n it_o have_v be_v find_v through_o the_o most_o part_n of_o our_o land_n that_o if_o in_o one_o part_n of_o our_o land_n their_o have_v be_v a_o indifferent_a plenty_n then_o for_o that_o other_o place_n have_v so_o much_o fail_v and_o then_o again_o these_o place_n of_o our_o land_n that_o have_v fail_v that_o one_o year_n have_v have_v indifferent_a plenty_n the_o next_o year_n follow_v that_o year_n of_o scanty_a or_o thus_o again_o i_o say_v they_o that_o have_v have_v a_o plentiful_a crop_n of_o corn_n when_z other_o have_v have_v the_o same_o year_n but_o a_o scanty_a crop_n then_o the_o next_o year_n follow_v they_o that_o have_v have_v the_o year_n before_o a_o scanty_a crop_n have_v have_v then_o their_o plentiful_a crop_n and_o then_o they_o that_o have_v the_o year_n before_o their_o plentiful_a crop_n have_v have_v their_o scanty_a crop_n for_o it_o but_o to_o explain_v it_o more_o short_a take_v it_o thus_o i_o say_v general_o of_o late_a year_n by_o experience_n it_o have_v be_v find_v he_o that_o have_v a_o plentiful_a crop_n of_o corn_n the_o one_o year_n have_v a_o scanty_a crop_n for_o it_o the_o next_o year_n follow_v so_o that_o upon_o the_o whole_a of_o the_o matter_n it_o do_v appear_v to_o i_o by_o reason_n as_o well_o as_o by_o faith_n to_o believe_v that_o the_o almighty_a have_v of_o late_a so_o measure_v out_o all_o his_o blessing_n only_o to_o try_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n that_o it_o may_v be_v see_v by_o their_o action_n what_o their_o behaviour_n towards_o god_n and_o man_n will_v be_v and_o how_o far_o their_o charity_n will_v extend_v to_o one_o another_o but_o again_o i_o have_v observe_v also_o that_o notwithstanding_o the_o almighty_n displeasure_n with_o we_o yet_o in_o the_o general_n we_o have_v have_v enough_o every_o year_n throughout_o our_o land_n one_o where_o with_o the_o other_o of_o all_o sort_n of_o grain_n and_o of_o all_o other_o sort_n of_o provision_n but_o man_n have_v not_o distribute_v it_o abroad_o in_o our_o nation_n as_o god_n will_v have_v have_v it_o do_v for_o instead_o of_o charity_n to_o their_o neighbour_n they_o have_v make_v a_o mere_a prey_n of_o they_o and_o have_v also_o seek_v out_o wicked_a invention_n mere_o to_o grind_v the_o poor_a even_o as_o it_o be_v to_o dust_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o i_o doubt_v that_o for_o those_o thing_n god_n have_v yet_o a_o controversy_n to_o be_v dispute_v with_o such_o man_n as_o have_v by_o several_a way_n and_o mean_n before_o mention_v thus_o oppress_v the_o poor_a and_o needy_a and_o that_o do_v put_v their_o trust_n more_o in_o their_o god_n mammon_n than_o they_o do_v in_o the_o great_a god_n of_o heaven_n but_o let_v such_o man_n know_v that_o that_o god_n that_o make_v they_o to_o that_o end_n and_o purpose_n to_o do_v good_a in_o their_o generation_n can_v destroy_v they_o for_o their_o wickedness_n in_o a_o moment_n read_v the_o whole_a chapter_n of_o the_o prophet_n obadiah_n but_o more_o particular_o observe_v these_o follow_a verse_n of_o that_o chapter_n which_o i_o have_v quote_v at_o large_a in_o the_o 3d_o and_o four_o verse_n thereof_o it_o be_v say_v the_o pride_n of_o thy_o heart_n have_v deceive_v thou_o thou_o that_o dwell_v in_o the_o cliff_n of_o

write_v like_o a_o fool_n for_o we_o know_v that_o all_o such_o disorderly_a season_n as_o have_v be_v of_o late_a year_n come_v from_o no_o other_o cause_n than_o from_o the_o natural_a influence_n of_o the_o heavenly_a body_n according_a to_o their_o own_o due_a course_n as_o they_o be_v by_o god_n himself_o first_o ordain_v for_o they_o to_o continue_v in_o without_o any_o alteration_n only_o as_o to_o time_n and_o motion_n they_o vary_v in_o their_o several_a revolution_n and_o so_o then_o consequent_o it_o must_v follow_v that_o from_o time_n to_o time_n the_o seven_o wander_a planet_n must_v be_v every_o year_n year_n after_o year_n always_o various_o place_v in_o their_o several_a position_n and_o as_o variable_a in_o their_o conjunction_n or_o opposition_n or_o square_n and_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 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

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

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

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
