vpon all occasions In base couetousnesse becomming Apes Lyons fawning Dogges and Deuils and all for money in Malice becomming Romish Butchers neuer satisfied but with bloud making all their life a Corban of cousenage and a Mammon of wicked guiles and gaines as if these mammonists did purpose to make no other profession but like Montebankes that professe the frauds of Italy like the Scofiotti of Ferara that fasten vpon nothing but vpon gaines like the Banditi that are lawlesse and like the Free-booters of Germany imagining all to be Fish that commeth to their nets But there are some names in our Nation as in Sardis that are Gods who would not for all the World with the Echronits forsake God and goe to Beelzebub or with the Ammonites goe to Melchom or with Demas goe to Mammon knowing that it is impossible that the sonnes of men should wallow in such ill-got wealth and swim in such aboundance of cursed gaines but that the deceitfulnesse of the Flesh and of the World doth beare them vp by the arme-holes and the Deuill holds them vp by the chinne vntill they are plunged into the deepenesse of Sathan who teacheth them all these cunning sleights vntill hee hath brought them to the fearefull downefall of death and then when they expect comfort hee saith vnto them as the Priests said to Iudas See thou to it shift for your selues This is the fearefull fatall and finall doome this is all the comfort and consolation that the mightie hunting Nimrods of the World shall receiue as a guerdon for their misse-led and mis-perswaded wicked courses Pray we therefore the great Maiestie of heauen to inflame with zeale his Maiesties heart on earth as he hath begun euen so to continue vntill he hath vtterly purged both Court Church and Common-wealth of all such wicked miscreants cursed caytiffes who remaine incorrigible whatsoeuer either God or good men from God shall say or endeuour to reforme and rectifie them in And seeing the word of God which is the sword of the spirit doth not preuaile with them that the Sword of Magistracy may be vnsheathed against their faces that the secular power may put down punish all wicked practisers both in Church and Common-wealth and that such as the Church hath iustly cast out by excommunication may be deliuered to the secular power for Execution that so if it be possible they may be brought to Repentance and their soules saued in the day of the Lord.

In a word vnderstand by Iudgement in this place that which Paul meaneth in his Epistle to the Romans Indignation and wrath tribulation and anguish vpon euery soule of man that doth euill So then the Iudgement here meant is that Indignation and Wrath Tribulation and Anguish shall be poured out of the vyals of Gods wrath vpon all exorbitant Estates But behold the exuberant goodnesse of God which thus speaketh Iudgement is toward you Iudgement instant but not yet extant Iudgement toward you but not vpon you Whereby we learne that God of his endlesse boundlesse and bottomelesse pitty compassion and mercy for Christ his sake doth fauourably and fatherly pre-monish before hee punish The Psalmist tells vs so If a man will not returne God will whet his Sword bend his Bow and prepare the instruments of death Here is onely Preparation of Iudgement not Execution Ionas comes with an Adhuc yet forty dayes and Niniue shall be destroyed The Psalmist with a day To day if ye will heare his voyce The Diuine with a moment Christ stands at the doore and knockes This further appeareth in sundry Iudgements that God hath shewed in the World from the beginning God himselfe preacheth to the Protoplast before the fall If thou eate thereof thou shalt die the death Before the deluge Noah the Preacher of righteousnesse an hundred and twenty yeeres forewarned the olde World Before that sulphure showred downe vpon Sodome how often was righeous Lot vexed with their vncleannesse Moses and Aaron shew signes and wonders and bring plagues vpon Aegypt before Pharoah was drowned in the Red Sea How many times and manifo'd wayes did God speake to his owne people before they were carried into captiuity Seauen seuerall portentous progedies God shewed vnto the Cizens of Ierusalem before their vtter destruction by Vespatian The Iewes famous antiquary relates in his Booke of the warres of the lewes that before the vtter destruction of Ierusalem a fiery Sword was seene in the firmament ouer that City a light about the Temple and the Altar in the night season did affright them that waited a Cow led in for sacrifice brought forth a Lambe in the middest of the Temple the brasen gate of the Temple opened of its owne accord an hoast of Horsemen and Spearemen was seene ouer the City in the firmament a shrill voyce heard in the night season from vnder the Altar crying Get you hence get you hence and one Iesus the sonne of Ananus not long before the siege went vp downe the streetes and could not by any meanes be silenced but still hee lamented saying Woe to this place Temple and City and at the time of the siege he standing on the wall cryed Woe to my selfe at which words he was slaine with an engine by the enemy that beleagured the City I list not to wade into the shallow brookes of the Heathen yet if a man would but cast his eye into the tract of Suetonius concerning the liues of the twelue Caesars a man may see that God hath not left himselfe without witnesse in this kinde no not among those Paganish
