very earnestly upon this occasion For I find they have relyed upon them more than they are willing to confess in former times particularly when the Spaniards invaded us with their Armada called Invincible An Image then of the Blessed Virgin famous as they pretend for Miracles both on the Sea and Land was brought in great pomp from Del Puig to the great Church of the City of Valentia And there a Solemn Litany was Sung to her upon the 17. of July being Sunday 1588. part of which I shall recite out of Ferdinando Texeda that you may see how little credit is to be given to them when they tell you they only desire the Saints to pray for them We Sinners beseech thee to hear us that thou wouldst impetrate true Repentance for us We beseech thee to hear us That thou wouldst take care to preserve the Apostolick See and all Ecclesiastical Orders in Holy Religion We beseech thee to hear us That all Storms allayed thou wouldst conduct the Catholick Fleet of the Catholick King in safety to the desired Haven We beseech thee c. That thou wouldst make the Catholick Fleet of the Catholick King victorious over Savage Hereticks We beseech thee c. That thou wouldst smite the obstinate Hereticks of England with fear and trembling We beseech thee to hear us I omit the rest because this is sufficient to show where their great strength lies as to the other VVorld which as it failed then so no doubt it ever will in time to come For they are instigated to their bloody attempts by another sort of invisible powers who if God permit may give them indeed very great assistance But the blessed Virgin and the Saints if they know what is doing here we are well assured will pray against them and join with us without our supplicating their favour in such humble requests as these O God to whom Vengeance belongeth O God to whom Vengeance belongeth shew thy self Lift up thy self thou Judge of the Earth render a reward to the proud Lord how long shall the Wicked how long shall the Wicked triumph How long shall they utter and speak hard things and all the workers of Iniquity boast themselves Psal XCIV 1 2 3 4. And if I put into your Mouths a whole Psalm appointed to be read this morning and composed in some such distress as now presses us with such alterations as may make it applicable to our condition I am confident I shall neither offend the Saints in Heaven nor the Saints on Earth Psal LXXXIII Keep not thou silence O God hold not thy peace and be not still O God For lo thine Enemies make a tumult and they that hate thee have lift up the head They have taken crafty Counsel against thy People and consulted against thy hidden ones They have said come and let us cut them off from being a Church that their Name may be no more in remembrance For they have consulted together with one consent they are confederate against thee We cannot tell their Numbers and their Combinations like those of Edom and Ishmael c. But do thou unto them as unto the Armada of which they boasted and as unto the Gun-powder Conspirators c. O Our God make them like a Wheel as the stubble before the wind As the fire burneth the wood and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire So persecute them with thy tempest and make them afraid with thy Storm Fill their faces with shame that they may seek thy name O Lord that great happiness we wish them with all our hearts Let them be confounded and troubled for ever yea let them be put to shame and perish That they may know that thou whose Name alone is JEHOVAH art the most high over all the earth FINIS
