Consultations and lets them alone till they fancy they have brought their bloudy Designs beyond any possibility of disappointment He knows their Down-sittings and their Up-risings he is about their Path and about their Bed and spieth out all their ways yea there is not a word in their Tongue but he knoweth it altogether nay he understandeth their Thoughts from whence proceed all their evil Deeds long before when they are yet a far off for the Thought is the main Spring and Original of all Humane Actions The Heart is that small spot that little dark Cloud which though not so big as a Mans Hand would produce such showers of Bloud if not prevented by Divine Providence as would overflow whole Countries Here the wicked Traitor after he hath conceived mischief travelleth with Iniquity and bringeth forth Falshood Here Ambition and Revenge when they have conceiv'd some cunning stratagem for the accomplishing their wicked Design bring forth their monstrous and deformed Issue of Sin and that Sin bringeth forth Death either to the Author or the Parties against whom the Plot is contrived but most commonly the mischief returns upon their own Head and their violent dealing comes down with a vengeance on their own Pates For thô the Anvil of the Heart upon which all their ungodly Projects are hammer'd be never so soft quilted that the boldest strokes whereby they are forging mischief against the Lords Anointed and against his Church cannot be heard by the quickest Ear yet even the least Thought doth not scape his knowledge from whom nothing is hid though for a while he lets them go on in their Villanies till at length he taketh them in their own craftiness and their Counsels come down headlong upon themselves Thus the Psalmist says particularly to this Point when Treason was hatch'd against his own Royal Person Psal 37.12 c. The wicked plotteth against the Just and gnasheth upon him with his Teeth The Lord shall taugh him to scorn for he seeth that his day is coming the wicked have drawn their Sword and bent their Bow all instruments of Cruelty ready for the fatal execution to cast down the poor and needy and to slay such as are of an upright Conversation But behold the issue their Sword shall enter into their own Heart and their Bow shall be broken The wicked watcheth the righteous and seeketh to slay him but the Lord will not leave him in his hand nor condemn him when he is judged the Righteous shall rejoyce when he seeth the vengeance and shall wash his footsteps in the bloud of the wicked so that a Man shall say Verily there is a reward for the Righteous doubtless there is a God that judgeth the Earth Psal 58.10 11. And this insensibly leads me to that which is an evident Proof of what the Wise Man lays down in my Text an Undeniable Instance and Demonstration of the Particular Care that God takes of those Good and Righteous Princes into whose hands he hath committed the Reins of Government for the Establishing of the Welfare and Prosperity of his People manifested in the late Signal and Wonderful Act of his good Providence in discovering the late Barbarous and Inhumane Conspiracy against the Precious Life of our Dear and Dread Sovereign in whom all our Lives and Welfares are wrapt up Which shews the Watchful Eye that the Almighty hath over his Royal Person which he hath so often secured not only from the Casualties of War which have been many and great but from the secret Plots and Machinations of Deceitful and Blood-Thirsty-Men which have been formed and contrived against him for this is not the first time that they have laid wait privily to destroy him nor the first Demonstration of God's wonderful Deliverance of him O who can sufficiently detest and abhor the Villanous Attempt of those Barbarous and Bloudy Assassins against the Sacred Life of our most Gracious Prince or enough praise the Almighty's Goodness for the Preservation of it Who can without horror and amazement of Spirit consider what the dismal and fatal Consequences would have been to this Land and Nation wherein we Live if God for the Sins of this ungrateful People had suffer'd this Black and Hellish Conspiracy hatcht in the Secrets of Darkness to have obtain'd the expected Success Had the Breath of our Nostrils the Anointed of the Lord under whose shadow we hope long to be shelter'd from the Fury of all our Popish Enemies been taken in their Nets what a sad Confusion would there have been among all Orders Degrees and Conditions of Men among us What Rivers of Blood would have run in lately dry places when every Man's hand had been against his Neighbour What Murders what Out-crys what Groans and Shrieks of Dying Persons What Devastations by Fire to consume that beautiful and magnificent City one of the Europaean Wonders which hath risen more glorious out of those Ashes in which those implacable Incendiaries had not long since laid it And all this to be follow'd for without the accomplishing the Barbarous Assassination it would have been in vain to attempt it by a terrible and formidable Invasion when all things were in hurry and Disorder and a sudden Fear and Astonishment for the dismal and unexpected Blow had seized upon the hearts of all good Men and no Preparations at hand to have resisted the vast Numbers of Armed and Well-Disciplin'd Men which would continually have been pouring forth upon us And all this to bring us into Slavery and Subjection to a Cruel and Perfidious Nation that hates us and which we have no other Reason but only as Enemies to Love and what is worse yet to destroy our Rights and Liberties and that which ought to be dearest to us to extirpate our most holy Religion and to introduce the Hateful Names of Popery and Tyranny among us And how near was all this dire Mischief to be accomplish'd Just upon the Edge of Execution The black Cloud that hung over our Heads that was charged with Thunder and Lightning was ready to break down upon us unless he who is higher than they had diverted the Bloody and Dreadful Storm For God was pleased to discover this Horrid and Detestable Conspiracy but a day before the Fatal time intended for the accomplishment of it He touch'd the Heart of one of the Conspirators by a sudden Impulse of his Spirit with a Remorse for that Barbarous and Inhumane Design wherein he had engaged himself and made him see with Horror and Distraction of Mind the Blackness and Unworthiness of that Cowardly and ungenerous Fact he was about to commit So that he could not be at quiet nor take any rest till he had vomitted up and disgorged the Bloody Secret which he had so greedily swallow'd God making him and others that were pick'd out to be of the Party to Assassinate our Gracious Prince and they were more than Forty the like number of those who had banded together to kill St. Paul
