LONDON Printed by E.G. for Iohn Rothwell at the Signe of the Sun and Fountaine in Pauls-Church yard 1648. TO The Right Honorable ROBERT RICH Baron of Leez in Essex and Earle of Warwick abundance of spirituall blesings in Jesus Christ PAul being upon a propheticall wing for the Lord had powred upon him not onely an Apostolicall but a Propheticall spirit doth foretell in the 2 Tim. 3.1 That in the last dayes perilous times shall come Those who are full of carnall self-love and unthankfulnesse will much increase the danger of this last Age of the World The Lord roote up all such weedes out of our hearts God hath I hope given Your Honour such a measure of love to the publique and so active a spirit to do good to others as will helpe to lessen the danger of these evill times And I would be so thankfull for favours received that I might not be ranked among this dishonourable Catalogue which here Paul sums up of such as make bad times worse It is your Honours happinesse and advantage as it was once said of the Duke of Guise in France that hee 〈◊〉 put obligations upon all that you can ingage very many and amongst the rest I must ever acknowledge my selfe one who in one of the greatest turnings of my life by the good hand of God upon mee in your free consent and noble bounty have had so much comfort in the nearest and dearest relation that I never envied any other but finde matter of everlasting praises to God for his goodnesse to my selfe therein And being under so great obligations when I can produce nothing of my owne worthy your acceptance I take leave to act the part of a Midwife to this happy Birth which may call your Honour Father as will appeare by the following Letter that it was ultimately intended for your spirit● all advantage And it were 〈◊〉 a kinde of sacriledge to keep●that holy issue from you that is so much your owne It joyes the soules of mee and many more of your praying servants that they have so much occasion to prayse their God on your behalfe for so many able and faithfull Ministers of the Gospell of the first second and third magnitude that your prudent fatherly care hath fixed where you as Patron have beene trusted Oh the many Chariots and horse-men of Israel that your noble Father and you have brought triumphantly into Essex herein you did happily Patrizare the Lord continue the like care to build and repaire his house in these who survive you from Generation to Generation that so your house may still bee honorably supported Ecclesiasticall story speakes of one Henricus Auceps when hee did fight against the Hungarians made this vow to God That if the Lord would give him victory against his enemies hee would purge his Country from Simony which at this time mightily abounded therein Wee want men of such an heroicall zealous disposition in England Oh that all Patrons were more mindfull of their high trust then they would not so often betray the soules of people by putting off a friend c. with a living to some unworthy Chaplaine Doubtlesse there is many a damned creature roaring in Hell cursing covetous Patrons as well as unfaithfull Pastors For whose Bloud in part at least they must bee accountable to the Father of spirits and Judge of the quick and the dead A most heavy reckoning when the sins of so many Congregations to which Patrons are accessary by sending ignorant and scandalous Ministers amongst them are made theirs whereas the least of their owne sins unrepented of will sucke them eternally God who is faithfull will not forget your labour and cost of love to the truely Reverend man of God Master Hooker who is now singing Hallelujahs in Heavenly Mansions when hee was persecuted by the * Archi flamen of Canterbury Hee will pay abundantly for the protecting and nursing his Children Heb. 6.10 I know not how better to expresse my deepe sence of your most reall favour the comfort whereof I dayly enjoy then by taking the humble boldnesse to beseech your Honour to adde one thing more which indeed is the ●num necessarium whereby you will gaine that better part which shall not be taken from you Namely that you would study and pray that you may walke in the light and heate of that glorious Gospell constellation for Ministers are Starres and the * Angells of the Churches which you have endeavoured to fix in your Orbe Your Honour hath beene often at Sea and there beholding the wonders of God in the deepe have beene taught to wrestle with him for mercy It is an old saying hee that

that you feasting upon their danties may bee fat and flourishing in your last dayes standing stedfast in these shaking times and immoveable keeping Faith and a good conscience which too many having put away concerning Faith have made Shipwracke more and more abounding in the Worke of the Lord forasmuch as you know your labour is not in vaine in the Lord This through the grace of Christ shall be the earnest Prayer of him who is My LORD Your Honours most obliged servant THOMAS HILL To the Right Worshipfull my much Honored friend Sir NATHANIEL RICH I Have been often thinking what to send to you at last this Theme which I had lately treated of in the Pulpit came into my minde it s of infinite use and necessity and a truth little examined considered or layed to heart yet marvelous necessary
