THE Spirituall Madman OR A PROPHESIE CONCERNING The King the Parliament London the Army of the admirable fulnesse and compleatnesse of the restauration and satisfaction of all Interests Written by VVILLIAM SEDGEWICK Printed in the Year 1648. The SPIRITUAL MADMAN OR A PROPHESI CONCERNING THE KING THe Army is a particular part of the Kingdome and that temporary and occasionall and is by the bright shining of the Sun of Righteousness melted into a generall peace and unity but lying under a particular condemnation it shall receive a particular discharge And we know thy imployment is so irksome and unpleasant to thee To be the kingdomes Gaoler to keep War in and peace out or to stand in the way to the Tree of life with a flaming sword to keep men from the injoyment of their Liberty KING Peace though thou art commanded to it by God these things being yet forbidden the people yet thou wilt be glad to be released from it that thou and all other may come into the Paradise of God and feed together upon the fruit of Divine peace and love There is under thy assuming power over the Kingdome King and Parliament and all and in thy maintaining thy Mi●i●ary power above and against the Civill in thy seeking thy owne subsisting and attempting to be the Kingdomes Lord restorer The Lord cloathing himselfe with zeal as with a garment incompassing himselfe about with flames of fire A Man of War a Lord of Hosts Casting away his Fatherly Government because of the Nations rebellion in all parts against himselfe and ruling us with a Rod of Iron God marching before us out of Egypts slavery into a Wildernesse turning us from a Civil Government into a Wildernesse incamping in the midest of us administering Lawes to us as at Sinai in thundering and lightning clouds and darknesse so rerrible that makes all tremble A yoke that neither we nor our Fathers are able to beare And so we see Gods severity under mans iniquities And because it is the Lords Rod we kisse the Rod and love you for it Death is proper for this administration The Lord our Husband the Law dies we were bound to honour you so long as you lived in the power and goodnes of God The whole Kingdom bowed before you while you led us safely through the Wildernes But Moses cannot bring us into Canaan but must only have a view of it and dye at mount Nebo This power is weak through the flesh and cannot do it if you contend now to effect any thing it is but the Devil striving for the body of Moses you are labouring to set up an honourable carcasse or to call back life into a dead body Christ did come into it and hath offered it up in his owne body and naild this power fast to the Tree you are dead fixt to the tree of shame by the curse with your Lord and by death you shall overcome more then ever you overcame by life submitting to death your wils reasons lusts your seeking a worldly Kingdome your desire of Lording it over others by force of armes with all your projects are slaine and all enmity in you against others and others against you Death hath Disbanded you easd you of your hellish wrathful imployment Reconciled you to all and all to you brought you from being Turkish Janisaries to bee English men You are dissolved into a body of love into GOD you lye downe in the Eternall By this your arreares are paid you are nothing you are dead and you can require nothing you and your demands are fallen to the ground your service is dead and nothing is due to it but to be buried and all your miscarriages in forgetfulnesse Who do you require arreares of The Kingdome is dead the sword reignes and therefore the Kingdome is free if you will be paid take blood want spoile Confusion ruin that 's all that is left of the Kingdome pay your selves of that Do you expect it of the Parliament That is dead too Poore Parliament you have eat it up your selves in greedinesse of pay you tore her bowels out and you can have no more But all anger is past there remaines nothing but love you are dead and live with Christ come forth of your graves stand up in the resurrection of the Christ in union and fellowship with Christ The Lords host now the Lord is in you and you pitch your tents about the Lord and are the arme of God stretched out for his own defence and for the punishing of transgressors living in the strength and Spirit of the Lord and now mighty and powerfull to execute divine pleasure Now you are under the Captain of our salvation and at one interested in the salvation of the Nation and of Christ our Saviour Now we can pay you arreares you never stuck upon arreares till you sunk into the earth into poor earthly mindes rise you again into spirit you will count it your honour to help England freely Money and a Saviour cannot subsist together That Spirit of Christ that once acted in you to let go the Prisoners Englands freedome and justice without price or reward that spirit shall revive in you and then you will scorn to be mercinary I know you disdaine to keep Englands wounds open to suck her blood you have hazarded your lives for justice and freedom and can't now insist upon pay you are worthy your selves and have the worth of all with you if you desire pay enter with us into Canaan and you shall have Vineyards that you planted not wels that you diged not A land flowing with milke and honey such mercies and blessings as you could not expect The Lord is Judge he will audite your accompts and pay all that he owes you Religion flourishing in the purity of it peace and righteousnesse as Rivers and Seas the sweet holy unmolested enjoyment of your own families and estates in the presence and under the government of the most high You shall now subsist in our bowels be dissolved into the Church and Kingdome which is the beloved of Christ Terrible as an Army with banners terrible to the world and the God of the world to the Prince of darknesse and so we shall disband you into spirit and power the whole Nation shall be Souldiers able to draw the sword of the spirit against all forraign power amongst our selves wars shall cease from the earth you must beat your sword into plow shares an● spears into pruming-ho●kes to your honest trades again there will need no Iron or steely wrath but to plow up your own hearts and to cut down enemies within your own brests All our Towns and Cities are garisoned with a heavenly host and we have salvation for our walls and bulwarks we shall lye down in peace and none make us afraid while we need force we shall use you but not in civill wars you must be removed and only imployed in service against strangers if you delight
