asleep he is free from cares and troubles let it thunder as it thundred not long since as you know yet a man that is fast asleep while he is asleep he heares it not let the house be on fire while the man is asleep he sees it not neither is he troubled at it So when a Child of God sleeps the sleep of death he doth not feel nor is he sensible of any of the calamities or sad providences of God upon the earth 7 When a man goeth to sleep he goeth to sleep but for a certain time in the morning he awakes out of sleep So it is with the sleep of death and therefore death is called a sleep because we must all awake in the morning of the Resurrection 8 Sleep is a great refreshing to those that are weary and sick and when the sick man awakes he is more lively and chearful then he was when he fell asleep and therefore sleep is called Medicus laberum redintegrasio virium recreator corporum The great Physician of the sick body the redintegration of mans spirits the reviver of the weary body And so it is with death when Gods people awake out of the sleep of death they shall be made active for God then ever they were before when you lie down in the grave you lie down with mortal bodies It is sown a mortal body but it shall rise up an immortal body it is sown in dishonour but it shall rise up in honour it is sown a natural body but it shall rise up a spiritual body 9 As in the morning when we arise out of our beds we then put on our Clothes So in the morning of the Resurrection we shall put on a glorious body like to the glorious body of Jesus Christ we shall put on Stolam immortalitatis the Garment of immortality 10 As no man when he layeth him down to sleep knoweth the direct time when he shall awake so no man can tell when the resurrection shall be They do but couzen you who say that the general Resurrection shall be such or such a year for as no man can know the minute when he shall awake out of his natural sleep no more can any man know when we shall arise from the sleep of death 11 It is a very easie thing to awake a man out of sleep it is but jogging of him and you will quickly awake him 1. As when a man ariseth in the morning though he hath slept mary hours nay suppose he could sleep 20 years together yet notwithstanding when he awakes these 20 years will seem to be but as one hour unto him So it will be at the day of judgement all those that are in their graves when they awake it will be tanquam somnus unius horae but as the sleep of an hour unto them Lastly and most especially as sleep seizeth only upon the body and the outward senses but doth not seize upon the soul the soule of man is many times most busie when the man is asleep And God hath heretofore revealed most glorious things to his Children in dreams when they have been sleep God appeared unto Abraham and many others in dreams the body sleeps but the soul awakes a So it is with the sleep of death the body that dies but the soul doth not die If ever you would sleep an happy sleep in death then labour to work hard for Heaven while you live On how delightful is sleep to a weary man When a man hath taken pains all the day as the Traveller that hath travelled all the day or the Plough man that hath been at work all the day how quietly how soundly doth he sleep in the night O Beloved If ever you would sleep an happy sleep at death then labor to work out your salvation with fear and trembling and give all dilligence to make your Calling and Election sure The more you labor for Heaven the better the sweeter will your sleep be when you come to die And remember this That as much sleeping in the day time will hinder a mans sleep at night So you that idle away the time of your providing for heaven in this your day you that sleep away the minute upon which eternity doth depend you will take a sad sleep when deach seizeth upon you Sin is such a sleep as brings the sleep of death Sin brings the first death and sin brings the second death all miseries whatsoever are the Daughters of sin If you would sleep an happy sleep and have an happy awakening at the Resurrection then take heed of the sleep of sin Awake thou that sleepest arise from the dead and Jesus Christ shall give thee life By Letters from York shire on Saturday night last it is advertised that divers of the Gentry and Officers that escaped from the late fight at Worcester with Charles Stuart were apprehended on the 17th instant in Hallifax and amongst the rest Mr. William Sanditch the King of Scots Trumpeter who upon examination confessed That his Master with the Duke of Buckingham Scout-master Gen Hind the great Robber and six more made an escape about 3 of the clock in the morning and being asked in what habit he used to attire himself in this his forlorn Pilgrimage He answered That he changed his Apparel every other day sometimes riding in a gray suit sometimes in black and sometimes in Buff Then Col Lassels asked him how he could procure all these He replyed by the meanes of Scoutmaster Hind who not only did this but also procured fresh Horse every day as occasion required And the Trumpeter further declared That his Master had disguised his hair and had cut off his black Lock The Collonel replyed A fair Omen for his head But after some time spent in examination of him and others they were all committed to safe custody till the further pleasure of the Parliament be known therein Major Gen. Massey is ordered by the Parliament of England to be tryed by a Councel of War at London but as yet he remains at Leicester in a very weak condition The Earl of Cleaveland and the Lord Lauderdale now prisoners in the Tower of London its probable will be tryed by a High Court of Justice As they passed along Cornhill in their Coaches with a Guard of Horse the Earl of Lauderdales Coach made a stand near the Conduit where a Carman gave his Lordship a visit saying O my Lord you are welcome to London I protest off goes your head as round as a Hoop But his Lordship put off this fatal Complement only with a laughter and so they passed along to the Tower FINIS
