Ierusalem London Printed for Th● J●… next door to the Eagle Child in Giltspur-street The Epistle to all Christians BEloved friends the matter contained in this Book is to give warning to the world that every man may take heed of that fearful sin of Ingratitude to that purpose I have here for a president laid open the bitter calamities and extremities of that glorious unparaleld City of Jerusalem which was once known to be the mirrour of the whole world but at last brought to utter ruine and desolation by their unthankfulness and disobedience to their Lord and Savior So hoping that you will consider and lay it to heart to foresee the dangers to come I remaine your friend and Servant so long as you serve God Laurence Price ENGLANDS Golden Legacy CHAP. I. How Christ foretold the miseries that would come upon Jerusalem is plainly here set down as an example for us to take warning by OUr blessed Lord and Saviour Iesus Christ when he approached neer unto the fair and goodly City of Jerusalem he most bitterly wept and lamented over it and knowing of the manifold miseries which would after his death fall upon the City and the Inhabitants thereof and therewithall being in a great Passion with a lowd voyce he cryed out in this manner saying If thou hadst known even thou at lest those things which belong unto thy peace even in this thy day but now are they hid from thine eyes For the dayes shall come upon thee that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee and compass thee round and keep thee in on every side and make thee even with the ground and thy children which are in thee and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another because thou knowest not the time of the visitation Luke 19.42 43. 44. those words so spoken by our Savior was heard by many of the Iews yet few believed and none regarded his sayings but while he wept for them they laught at him and his disciples and although he had before shewn many wonders and done many miracles in all the Countries round about as was very well known to them that were then in place He made the deaf to hear the dumb to speak the lame to go the blind to see cleansed the Lepers and raised up the dead from the grave Ioh. 11.44 Yet would not all these miracles bring the stiff-necked Iews into a right belief but instead of giving God the praise they sought the death of him that came into the world to cure their bodies and to save their souls from everlasting damnation CHAP. II. Of the cruelty of the Jewes and how bloodily they dealt with our Savior Christ was as followeth AND it came to pass afterwards he himself went throughout every City and Village preaching and shewing the glad tidings of salvation and of the Kingdom of God and his twelve disciples were with him Luke 8.1 Casting out of devils and healing all diseases yet was the hatred of the Iews so much they could never let him rest at quiet for why the Scribes and Pharisees of the people conspired his death and the High Priests consulted to deprive him of his life and to that end and purpose came false witnesses to accuse him of that which he never did as you may read Matth. 26. And when Judas had betrayed him into their hands they dealt with him so wickedly that the like was never known before No Pen can write no tongue can exrresse nor no heart of man can thinke what extream sorrows and wofull bickerments he went through They took him and bound him they scourged him and whipt him they buffeted and sm●te him they spit in his face they crown'd him with a wreath of pricking thorns and they made him in disgrace to carry his own Cross to the place of Execution where they most bloodily nailed him through both his hands and feet between two sinful Malefactors and last of all they gave him vinegar and gall to drink Mark 27.34 But for all those bitter torments and sufferings of our Sauiour Iesus Christ he was never heard to give them so much as one angry word but with milde and gentle words he prayed for his enemies saying Father forgive them for they know not what they do Joh. 18.32 So crying with a loud voice Father into thy hands I commend my Spirit he gave up the Ghost and when they had so murdered the Lord of Life there was immediatly after such a horible unexpected Eclipse of the Sun that thers was a darkness over all the Land and the vail of the Temple rent from the top to the bottom and there was also a most terible earth-quake which rent the vail of the Temple from the top to the bottom Mark 15 38. And then the Centurion and others that beheld it which had no bolief in them before did both confess and say Verily and truly this was the true Son of the living God Mark 15.40 One thing more to be considered of is this that whilst our Savior was at the Bar of Arraignment every one was against him and no man pittied his sorrows but only the Iudge Pilate which was then set upon life and death whose conscience was sorely pricked when he was to passe the Sentence of death upon Christ and therefore he took water and washed his hands saying I am guiltless of the shedding of the blood of this innocent man whereupon they cryed out all with one consent Away with him crucifie him and let his blood be upon us and upon our children for ever Mark 15.13 14. A heavy curse God knows did the Iews wish to fall upon themselvs and I pray that Christians may never do the like evil nor know the like sorrow And what become of them after the Passion of Christ you shall hear in this following Chapter CHAP. III. Of the grievous Afflictions and miseries that befell the Jewes after they had crucified the Lord of Life And of their desolation and total overthrow and destruction is here set down for our example NO sooner was our Savior Christ out of sight but he was also out of mind for the Jewes thought they had done well in p●●ting him to death and never took sorrow till it was too late they eat drank and were merry they gave their minds to all manner of voluptuous living as carousing in Ale-houses and Taverns Swearing and Blaspheaming wantonness and chambering and what not But with the old Proverb every sweet will have his sower So tared it with the Iewes for
