And when al these thinges were come to passe according to the word of the Lord and that the Prophet saw it with his eies who could not yet sit downe and lament to heare the most greivous lamentations that he poures out for that so great desolation and destruction wherewith the Lord had destroyed and made desolate that his owne Citie House and people Lam. 1.2.3 chap. Nay they that gave no regard to the wordes of the Lord spoken by the Prophet concerning these thinges Ier. 37.2 Yet when they saw the prophesie accomplished theÌ„ deepe sorrowe tooke hold vpon them then the Elders of the Daughter Syon sate vpon the ground kept silence cast dust vpon their heades girded themselves with sackcloth the virgines of Ierusalem hanged downe their heades to rhe ground Lam. 2.10 And who so readeth cannot deny but their was iust cause of al this sorrowe and therefore wel might the Prophet say Behold see if there bee anie sorrowe like vnto my sorrowe Lam. 1 1â— And if it cannot bee denyed but that the hearing and seing of this prophesie of so great desolation fulfilled was iust cause of this so great sorrowe Where are then the eies and eares of men that might heare and see farr greater tribulations and desolations then these prophesied of by a greater Prophet then Ieremiah and even now fulfilled in the feirce wrath of iudgment by the most Highest and that in the sight of al men and yet who considers of it Or who takes vp a lamentation for it are mens hartes vtterly voyd of mourning affectons or are they destitute of vnderstanding in the cause off sorrowe or do men thinke the danger is past Surely one of these must needes be the cause or els mens hartes would abound with sorrowe and their eies would power out floodes of teares and they would vtter with their tongues and penns lamentations of great woe Now if it can bee shewed by the word of truth that deepe error of darknes doth possesse the two last that is those which through ignorance thinke in themselves there is no such cause of sorrowe and those that through ignorance do thinke that the danger is already past then the first that cannot mourne must needes fall vnder the sharpe censure of great hardnes off hart and incensible deadnes of all affections Wee in the humilitie off our soules confesse that this worke is too great for our abilities but our strength is off the Lord who is able to make vs sufficient for these thinges iff wee by faith in Christ depend vpon him the which our faith being so full off infidelitie it must needes followe that our strength is full of all weaknes which would beate vs to the ground for vndertakeing this or anie such worke off the Lord but that the Word off God compells vs. which commaundes vs strickly to shewe our selves faithfull in a little Mat. 25 19-30 From which ground by the grace off God wee have beene drawen to doe that little wee have formerly done and vndertake through the Lordes gracious assistance now to doe that wee shall doe beseeching and trusting off his mercie towardes vs herein that all the praise may bee given onely to the glorie of his name First then to shewe vnto them their error that through ignorance doe not see there is great cause off lamentation and woe we require them to turne their eares to the prophesie of that great Prophett Christ Jesus Mat. 24 4-28 and Luke 21 8-31 Where hee foretelleth that when men shall see the abhomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the Prophete set in the Holy places then shall bee great tribulation such as was not from the begining off the Creation to this time nor shall bee And except those dayes should bee shortned there should no Flesh be saved Hath the like Prophesie ever bene heard off Or can there bee anie desolation like vnto this desolation Wherein no Flesh shall bee saved No from the begining off the World there hath not bene the like nor shall bee saith our Saviour Christ Who can remaine ignorant off these daies and times and what ignorance is it not to knowe that these are even the dayes and times here Prophesied off Have not warrs and rumors of wars beene heard off Hath not Nation risen against Nation and Realme against Realme Hath there not beene famines and pestilence and earth-quakes in divers places And have not manie beene offended and betrayed one an other and hated one another And have not manie false Prophets arisen Doth not our Saviour Christ say these are the begininges of sorrowe Now all these thinges being come to passe which are the begininges of sorrow it must needes bee that the dayes of the hight of sorrowe are now come And doe not men now see the abhomination of

themselves vtterly pervert the meaning off our Saviour Christ in these words and say he gave it for a rule to his disciples to teach theÌ„ to flee to save themselves from persecution and so by this their vnderstanding when the disciples of Christ had found a Citie of most safetie there they should hide theÌ„selves as these men do and let the publishing of the gospell alone except any would follow after them or come to them where they might be in safetie How doth the ignorant blind corrupt harts and tongues of these meÌ„ conceive and speake against God and his truth and pervert it to their owne destructioÌ„ overthrowing the whole doctrine aÌ„d meaning of Chr. in this place of Mat. 10. from 16. vers to the 39. vers where Christ withal the wisedome of the spirit doth set himselfe to teach his disciples to suffer persecution shewing them what persecutions they should suffer and what persecutors they should have and how far they should suffer persecution even to the loosing off their lives Thus doth our saviour Christ teach his disciples to suffer persecution exhorting them not to feare them that kil the body and declareing vnto them for their vnspeakable comfort his providence and protection over them telling theÌ„ that al the haires of their head are numbred in his sight And these deceivers they teach their disciples to flee persecutioÌ„ and persecutors and to spare and save theÌ„selves that it may not come so vnto them but when the worthy disciple of Christ Peter advised his maister so Christ bad him come behind mee Sathan thou art an offence vnto me and taught him saying If any man will follow mee let him forsake himselfe take vp his crosse follow me maâ—r 16. Iudg then what Christ wil say to these false prophets that are the disciples of the man of sinne supporting and preserving his Kingdome by this their doctrine for the disciples of Christ cannot glorify God and advance his truth better theÌ„ by suffering al manner of persecution for it and by witnessing it against the man of sinne with the blood of their testimony we must leave this point to Godly consideration It had bene much fitter we confesse to have bene part off a booke then such an addition and wee leave these men withal their disciples if they wil not be enformed here in to be a reproach to al men who shal say vnto them where have you learned to fle into forraine countries and not to suffer persecution for Christ of your owne countriemen where have you learned for feare of meÌ„ to flee from your owne countrie aÌ„d fathers houses to whome you ought and where you might best publish the gospel and where have you learned to drawe parents from children and children from parents to whoÌ„e they are especially bound to witnes Gods truth and to be as lights vnto theÌ„ You have not learned it of Christ who would not suffer him that had bene possessed when he prayed him that he might bee with him but Christ said vnto him Go thy way home to thy frends shewe them what great things the Lord hath done vnto the he went published theÌ„ Mark 5 18 Yea all men shal say vnto them where have you learned to set vp your light in secret plaees and where have you learned to pul your shoulder from the yock and to seeke to save your lives but therefore saith Christ surely you shal loose them except you repent Furthermore if Christ gave this for a rule or precept to his disciples to flee persecution to save themselves then was it an absolute comaundement and so did al thapostles and disciples of Christ breake his comaundement aÌ„d sinne in that they did not flee to save themselves alwaies when they were persecuted and hereby do these men condemne all their brethren that flee not as they do except they wil ad error to error aÌ„d affirme as some of them do that it is indifferent to flee or not to flee makeing hereby this precept of Christ indifferent to be obeyed or not to be obeyed which can not be affirmed of anie one precept of Christ for nothing can bee both comaunded and indifferent to bee obeyed or done and those words of Christ wil no way permit such indiffereÌ„ci for they are an absolute precept for that end for the which they are given which is not to flee to save themselves but to flee or go to another Citie to preach the gospel And we put these seducers in remembrance that our Saviour Christ gives this rule also vnto his disciples that if they shall enter into anie house or Citie that shal not receive them nor heare his word wheÌ„ they depart thence they shal shake of the dust of their feet for a witnes against that house or Citie But when wil these men according to this rule of Christ â—hake of the dust of their feet for a witnes against Amsterdam and Leyden which Cities neither receive them nor the word they bring otherwise then they receive Turks and Iewes and all sorts who come onely to seeke safety and profit It should seeme this rule of Christ apperteynes not to these meÌ„ but let them and al mense that this rule apperteynes to whomesoever the other apperteynes they being both given at one time and vpon one and the same occasion and to one and the same persons and when these great deceivers have learned not to devide Christ they wil learne also not to devide his precepts and ordinances takeing what is agreable to their corrupt mynds and forsakeing what is contrary to them We wil passe by the lamentable fruits and iudgmeÌ„ts that we have and doe see with our eies followes this damnable error when manie yea the most men that had in a great measure forsakeÌ„ the love of the world and began to be zealous of some good thinges being drawne by this opinion and these seducers into forreyne Countries not knowing which way to support their outward estate have turned againe vnto the world aÌ„d are fayne to hunt too and froo far aÌ„d neare after every occasion and al is too little to satisfie most of their wants and nothinge wil satisfie some of their disires al these thinges and manie mo these hirelings their shepherds can welbeare withall so that they returne to the hive that their portion may not be reproved And those of best hares and some of best quality that cannot runne aÌ„d rove and set their harts to seeke the world consume that they have and fal vnder hard conditions and by littel and littel loose their first love also It is the general iudgment we ayme at in al this in that by these meanes former zeale aÌ„d the best first beginings that were in these men do vanish fade away and come to nothinge to the vnfained greife of our sonles to see it how much better had it beene that they had given their lives for that truth they professe in their owne Countries Now as wee through the grace of God and by the warrant of his word as we have here manifested cast away these perverters of the holy scriptures and their doctrines so we wish al to do that feare God and seeke the glory of his name and come and lay downe their lives in their owne Countrie for Christ and his truth And let none thinke that we are altogether ignorant what building and war fare we take in hand and that wee have not sitt downe and in some measure throughly considered what the cost and danger may be and also let none thinke that wee are without sence and feeling of our owne inability to begin and our weaknes to endure to the end the weight and danger of such a worke but in al these thinges we hope and waite for wisedome and strength and helpe from the Lord Who is able to establish vs that we may stand and by weake meanes to confound mighty thinges 1. Cor. 1. Lett none therefore despise the day of smale thinges Zach. 4.10 Nor bee greived and say with that scorner Nehem. 4.24 What wil these weake Iewes doe Thus comending all our poore endeavors to the best acceptance of every wel disposed reader beseeching the Lord to make his grace to abound to you al for the glory of his name and the salvation of every one of your soules Amen
