ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND VNITED WITH Some pious Observations thereupon shewing our Brethrens faithfulnesse in this Cause Frustrating the hope of our Common adversary to the downfall of Heresies Errours and Schismes By I. H. a Lover of Truth Peace and. Imprimatur James Cranford Printed at London for J. H. 1647. HAving perused much joyfull Newes from the North I could not let it passe without some Observations thereon I must confesse it is but a mite of thankfulnesse I could wish it might be a Monument that being erected might eternize the honour of the Scottish Nation which they have purchased by their Fidelity to our Kingdome I wish it might swell future Chronicles to large Volumes of Thankfulnesse let it be written in leaves of Marble with a pen of iron that it may be able to withstand the devouring teeth of envious Time never never to be forgotten till all things shall confesse their ashes and time shall be no more Would I could perswade our English Country-men to prepare their hearts and enlarge their Meditations to let in these mercies that our unworthinesse tells us we have not merited Here 's a Union worthy to be commemorated to all posterity No more Anglia Scotia but Brittany Famous Brittany England and Scotland united Two made One Here therefore you shall have in an Epitome the faithfulnesse of our Brethren a great deale of matter in a little roome The Discourse needs no Division it 's of Union To tell you of our Brethrens coming to our Assistance were but to tell you that that hath been delivered by former Pens One may observe very many circumstances that makes this courtesie very acceptable they own'd us and that in the day of our distresse they helpt us when we could not helpe our selves and when some that were amongst us were risen up against us 'T were not unseasonable to speake of the time in which they came into our aide and helped the Lord against the mighty They tooke a hard march a hard taske in a hard season fighting with a potent stubborne powerfull adversary who was well appointed ready Garrison'd provided and prepared to receive an enemy though very powerfull and formidable Amongst the many things that might be spoken in our Brethrens commendation this I account as none of the least viz. the great doubt which party would prove Conquerour 't is sufficiently knowne with what variety of faces the truth of this appeared the most judicious could not tell whether wee might be reckned amongst the living or the dead But our provident God foresaw all the Lord of Hosts that was and is the giver of victory hath crown'd our sufferings with the happinesse that wee now enjoy Our Prayers are turned into praises our fighs into Songs of deliverance for our War we have peace for feare of utter ruine the fruits of a present happinesse For out former wants in which we did abound we have as much felicity as the frailty of man is capable of You know who it was that said Sorrowes may endure for a night Psal 30.5 but joy commeth in the morning We have had our Night a black darke sad stormy Night but now the bright beames of the morning hath dispel'd all these vapours and we have our morning of happinesse after our night of misery We have had newes of this Towne lost Witnesse that bat barous act of P. Rupert at Bolton in Lancashire that Castle lost that Garrison surrendred another Fort yeelded and all our men massacred We had then many of Jobs messengers but yet we see wee are left alive as living Monuments of the Lords mercy and doe reap the fruits of this blessednesse which our Brethren have purchased with their dearest blood And here I may fitly speake a word of those that dyed in defence of this cause Englands Cause for her Rights and Liberties may we not envy their Happinesse they act their parts gloriously in Heaven that acted them well on earth they are raised to the highest pitch of happinesse most fortunate most blessed most wise most all they dwell all upon superlatives Quis non optaret sic moriendo mori How noble 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 regardfull 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 self 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 Reformation if we tread in their steps in this particular the world wil not call us unhapy having such good Conductors and so good a Copy to write after The two Tribes and a halfe Josuah 22. 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 translated 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 fame 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
