AN ALARME To all Christian Princes and States of the Religion WRITTEN Immediatly vpon the first newes of the death * 1632. of the King of Sweden of famous memory and euer will be to all posterity and to eternity Which I haue concealed till now hauing a great reluctation within my self and doubtfull whether to publish it at all or no. Mich. 2.3 Amos. 5.13 Luk. 22.53 Eph. 6.12 No answereth the echo for this time is euill It is an euill time answereth the Prophet The very power of darkenes this is your houre the power of darkenes answereth the Lord Iesus for we wrestle not our reluctation is not against flesh and blood but against principalities against powers c answereth the Apostle The whole legion of deuils for they are many We are many answereth the deuill himself with a hollow echo from hell But too many for one poore worme Mark 5.9 such a one as I am a worme and no man to wrestle withall the Lord Iesus help me Yet considering whom I serue euen this Lord Iesus and what an other Apostle answereth He that knoweth to doe good and doth it not to him it is sin Iam. 3.17 Matt. 25.25 And conceiuing it a part of my talent committed to me of Gods grace not to be concealed not to be hid whereof one day I must giue account and for no other reason written I say immediatlie after the sorowfull newes came of the death of that renowmed King and directed and I hope in God it is also from him and so will be taken and not of any presumption at all from me to all those Princes and States now vpon so great consultations and treaties wherevpon dependeth the whole State of Gods Church all the reformed Churches of Christendome now in quaestion vpon the death of that famous King whether to stand or fall high time therefore for all either now to speake or for euer hereafter to hold their peace Wherein I make no doubt but Sathan will also act his part to the vtmost this his last part by his Embassadors and secret Agents from all parts Zech. 3.1 and stand at the right hand of our high Priest Joshua to resist him that he and his Kingdome may stand and our high Priest Ioshua that is Jesus his Kingdome fall I haue therfore aduentured in the name of this Iesus Jesus Jesus Jesus which were the last words that great King vttered immediatly before he gaue battell help me to fight this day to the honour of thy name If I die I die Let vs goe and die with him Esthe 4.16 Iohn 11.16 Why liue we after him who died not for himself but for vs and for others as did Iesus and for the name of the Lord Iesus I say in the name of this Jesus our Joshua who died both for him and for vs all all humane respects either of feare or fauour set apart I haue adventured to publish it My name shrowded vnder his name Iesus who dare speak against it this name Jesus Hoping this Sathan who now thinketh he standeth and presumteously taketh place at the right hand of our Ioshua this Jesus shall fall shorthlie and finally the God of peace shall tread downe Sathan vnder your feet shortly Rom. 16.20 Luk. 10.18 as in that his diuine vision I saw Sathan fall downe lyke lightening from heauen Amen Amen and let the whole Church of Christ applaud herevnto and say Amen and Amen IHS IHS IHS Helpt me to fight this day to the honour of thy name against this Sathan this Legioen of Deuils for we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principallities against powers against the worldly gouernours the Princes of the darknes of this world against Spirituall wickednesses which are in the high places Ephes 6.12 AN ALARME Vpon the death of the King of SWEDEN to all Christian Princes and States of the Religion to ioyne together in a firme and inviolable league in defence thereof against the common enemie SEEING it hath pleased God for our sins to take from vs that renowmed most victorious Prince the King of Sweden Iudges 16 28. victorious euen in his death as was Samson the most couragious champion heathen or Christian that euer God raised vp or can be read of in any Historie to haue acted so much in so short a time his small beginnings and great oppositions considered An other Caesar veni vidi vici A Sauiour and deliuerer of Gods Church of whom the world was not worthie for our sins I say taken from vs for the which we ought to lament lament answereth a wofull echo and thereby our great losse An other Judas Machabeus how is the valiant man fallen that deliuered Israel but not to lament for him 1 Mac. 9.21 who now triumpheth most gloriously in heauen with all the Holy Angels and Saints as he did on earth ouer all his enemies It were a shame and dishonour to God and his annointed that is with God and a derision to the enemies of God who now reioyce and insult ouer his dead bones whom liuing they durst not once looke in the face to suffer these so glorious and blessed beginnings and blessed shall they be to fall to the ground Those great designes both against the Antichristian and Mahometan tyrannie both which had he liued in short time by all lyklihood had been throwne to the ground For the further managing whereof finall accōplishment in these lest dayes to be accomplished
