A87100	The last newes from the North. Shewing our brethrens farewell and fidelity in delivering up of Newcastle, Carlile, Durham, Hartlepool, and other northern garrisons into the hands of the Parliament. As also their full intentions to march speedily against Montrosse, Kilketto, Antrim, with the rest of that barbarous crew. With some speciall observations thereupon, vindicating our brethren of those many jealousies cast upon them by the adverse party, which should bee a strong motive to stir up our English hearts to blesse God for their brotherly assistance and faithfulues [sic] in this cause. Also some objections against Independency. / Written by J.H. a well-willer to the common-wealth.	J. H.; Anderson, James, fl. 1647.	1647 (1647)	Wing H74; Thomason E377_14; ESTC R201363	7,668	18

is it to dye in a justified cause A cause so just so righteous so equall that we may justly pronounce those unjust and wicked that would have rather let it sunk then patronize it Our luke-warmnesse here at home could not doe that that their zeale hath performed 't was that that set them on this work and acted it for them If I should descend to particulars and take a view and a regard full search of their zeale in this Reformation I should swell my Pamphlet beyond its intended brevity I shall name one act of our Brethrens of late if I did not speake the thing would speak it selfe I must confesse it quadrates well with my Genius viz. their care for the observation of the Lords day to which end they have provided and so ordered that no Fayres or Markets be kept on Mondayes or Saturdayes and I hope there 's none but will agree with me in this point but that it is a very worthy act a memorable Act and worthy of our best imitations they have hitherto chalkt out a way for our Reformations if we tread in their steps in this particular the world wil not call us unhapy having such good Conductors Josuah 22. and so good a Copy to write after The two Tribes and a halfe after they had helpt their Brethren to conquer the promised Land in their returne homewards built an Altar of testimony the end why is shewed in the 24. vers lest the Children of Israel might say to the children of the two Tribes and a halfe What have you to doe with the Lord God of Israel The name of the Altar was Eol which being transl●ted by the holy language is a Witnesse this was a Witnes lest in time to come the seed of the children of Israel might say to the seed of the two Tribes and a halfe Yee have no part in the Lord The plainnesse of the History applyes it selfe if we can set up such a Witnesse between us for the Government of the Church we shall be happy in a most absolute manner so far I have deviated from my circumstances But now I come to one more and that is of the seasonablenesse of the deliverance that in the very nick of time they came in to doe us good and when we found we could not find a way how to break the power of our Adversaries they interposed and the controversies ended the question 's decided To a poore condemned man there is nothing more acceptable as a pardon and if it come in th' opportunity and nick of time just before the intended execution nothing comes more welcome The Application makes it self We were condemed and if same were not too lavish our estates divided The story of them that bought the Beares skin is very remarkable worthy onely to be imitated of such greedy Chapmen There 's yet one thing that heightens the Deliverance and that is that after the burthen had laine so long upon our backes that it should then be removed when our miseries were at the highest pitch in the superlative degree the addition of more miseries could scarce have made us more miserable who 's then more welcome then a deliver When a Coliah was in Armes against Israel who more acceptable then a David whose part our Brethrew hath so well acted as that I am sorry for nothing more then that we are not able to reward them Wee were a long season in the Furnace but the seasonablenesse of the deliverance makes us forget all former miseries Barclay sayes That warres never last so long in England as in other Lands Barclay ●cun Animorum Costly experience tels us this is rather a Fable then a Chronicle You cannot think but that we escaped from Scythian cruelty when we were like to be brought into an unworthy servitude and vertue was like to become a slave to those that had sold themselves to Vitiousnesse Now I hope you will say if these things deserve not an observation and a perpetuall commemoration to the honour of that famous Kingdome the World will call's unthankfull Come we neerer to our Brethren that are gone from us their names shall last the longest length of time they are equivalent to the very best of men inferiour to none the singular Ornamerits of this Age Europes wonder These expressions proceed from me because I do not desire that Valour should have Oblivion for its grave But the memory of their Opponents shall perish and their names shall bee buried in the eternall night of Oblivion And yet if you will have them recorded let it bee in times brazen-leaved booke with ignominy and disgrace there to remaine as a Caveat for Generations yet unborne Our Brethrens carriage in these late affaires hath been terrible to their and our enemies feare striking amazements to our Adversaries that ere now have bin so numerous that the spacious fields could hardly afford roome for their armed Troopes and now we see by our Brethrens valour fidelity and assistance they are reduced to a better method there scarce remaining a stump or stem of that huge Tree that one while over-spread whole Countries for this their fame is gone out thorow the spacious Orb and their victorious hands will be remembred by all succeeding Generations Their zeale their justice their magnanimity hath made them inferiour to none of their Predecessors in greatnesse of true glory never never to be blotted out of the Registers of memory And left forgetfull time should make us liable to ingratitude 't were not unfit that there were an annuall Observation of this our Brethrens Deliverance and that as we are wont to write from the Gunpowder-Treason so many yeeres from the Spanish-Armada so many yeeres so to adde this to the rest Since Englands grand Deliverance from her plundring conspirators so many yeeres A plot that equallizes any of these two famous Deliverances an a●●versary that would have dispoiled us of our lives livelihoods goods and fortunes and had it been feacible they would have plundred us of our God of our Religion of our being and well-being I hope you well borne Englishmen your hearts will tell you that I speak no more then the greatnesse of this Deliverance calls for 'T were easie to be infinite the deeper I dig in this golden Mine the more my fancy is inriched yet all this will speak us Atheists if we speak no other language before the conclusion We know why Herod was eaten up of wormes Acts 12.23 because he gave not God the glory Let us look then to that primum mobile In whom we live and move and have our being Acts 17.28 Let the glory of the day be given to him that is the Giver of the day we doe not attribute these performances to man we know that he is not proportion'd for such employments such high affaires Man is not able to conquer himselfe much lesse his enemies But one Observation I mark in our Adversaries they were haughty and self-confiding
