A77067	The labyrinth the kingdom's in: with a golden threed to bring it forth into light, liberty, and peace agen. Being a brief but impartial history of the good and evil of the former, later, and present power of the nation, as it relates to God and the people. The result is a plea for the restauration of all in Christ (the kingdoms rest,) who is expected to appear more in the present, then in any former power of the nation. / By R. Bacon, a lover of mankinde.	Bacon, Robert, M.A.	1649 (1649)	Wing B369; Thomason E541_26; ESTC R204342	33,585	52

they sink again into it This their way is their folly which too is made manifest sooner or later yet their posterity they that come after them in power and place approve their sayings see a delight in their mouth as it is in the margin they have as it were one mouth and are in effect the same in a new and another seeming better disguise the same Spirit appearing in another form one evil generation and power of men opposing another Sect. 9 The Lord therefore rebuke the evil Spirit that seeks to undoe deceive and misguide the Army into those courses that may any way tend to shut up the way of men to Christ their Savior who is pretended to be among them more then among other people and those that went before them that it may be said of this King I mean not either King Charls whose person yet I loved and prayed for or as the Country people speak King Fairfax or Cromwell but King Jesus a King that is a Saviour and in that he is a Saviour a King for every one worthy of the name honor and title of a King is a Saviour a Saviour not only of his friends but his very Enemies King Charls would indeed have saved his friends so but corruptly called but he being corrupt and ignorant of the true pattern Christ would fain have destroyed his indeed but supposed Enemies let not the present Kingly power of the Nation in the Army for there it is interpretatively and by way of Execution let not them dance after his pipe and do the thing he did and have since condemned him for that is to say Let not them be the Saviours of their friends only or men of one side this is not the true Spirit of Christ or of Government but let them even be Saviours to and of those yea even of those that would in their ignorance and unbelief have destroyed them This is truly noble Christian and worthy of men of high place and power let them be a Sanctuary of rest to all even the persons of all Roundheads and Cavaliers yet withall standing as a Cherubin of light right truth life peace and glory to keep the way of that tree of Life a true Christian Magistracy form'd according to the pattern in the Mount whereby may be opened unto men that long expected and looked for paradise of Truth and Peace meeting together and giving rest to the Nation and that no thing or person may be admitted that may bring any evil into it for the defilement and disturbance of it Sect. 9 This this is the business the present power have to doe being reserved and kept as in the secret of God to such a time and purpose as this that they might evidence to all both friends and foes that there is indeed such a presence of Christ and the true anointing among them they have all this while held the world in hand with that it may be said of this Presence even of this Anointing among you this King in the Army to the whole Nation on the one side and on the other none excluded from the grace and benediction of it behold a King God himself in Spirit shall reign in righteousnesse and Princes for such are the children of the true Church in all lands shall rule in Judgment that is to say not ignorantly and in the dark not knowing what they doe as the manner of the Rulers of the earth is being drunk with Error they stumble in Judgment then shall a man that is to say every one that lives in the heavenly MAN be for an hiding place what to one sort of men only that 's Jewish a course that hath undone us all this while but to every man though to the evil or lust of no man a hiding place I say from the wind and a covert from the Tempest as the rivers of water in a dry place such is for certain the state of the Royall party and in the next place the Presbyters and many others that are bitter and grieved in Spirit in one word as the shadow of a great rock in a weary Land which how welcom it is in a Land of drought as this Nation is in respect of peace and rest they know that have been by experience sensible of the one and other By this it would appear to all the world that you have skill not onely to kill and to destroy which hath been your work for the most part hitherto but that you have heard and learned of the Father of mercies how to save which is that one and onely thing the whole Kingdom is in expectation of from you that it may be said of you Saviours not destroyers are come up upon Moun Sion the true seat and place of Government to judge the Mount of Esau that is to say the evill of all men by the spirit of judgement and by the spirit of burning Let the Kingdom and all in it first taste of your good that is to say your mercy meeknesse forbearance seeking not your own but others profit even the profit of your very opposers whereby you wli lindeed appear to be of the onely true Royall bloud even of the seed Royall of God and Christ himself say yea you have much more cause to say of your selves then Saul had to say of himself in the first day of his power when the people came and clamoured in the ears of Samuel as the people of England so call'd have of late in the ears of the Army immoderately and to excesse to have justice not divine justice for they know not most of them what that means upon the person of the King saying Who is he of the King or Parliament's side that said or shall say Shall Saul reigne over us Shall the Army power prevail over all sorts of men in the Land as you know there is much murmuring Bring the men that we may put them to death Let Saul's Answer be yours I confesse you pretend to a conformity to a better pattern David who though he were annointed to succeed Saul against whom there is no question but David might have had as much to say as you have had against Charles Stuart late in title King of England yet David your pattern abhorred the thought of taking away his life as you also according to the grounds of true Christian Religion ought the forenamed and late King And Saul said There shall not a man be put to death this day for to day the Lord hath wrought salvation in Israel Let not your morning glory the glory you seek be stained with the blood of any especially the blood of war in the time of peace be not so hasty hot and violent in condemning the Powers went before you before your right●ousnesse integrity
