Ahaz ten degrees which was a signe of recovery to disconsolate and languishing Hezechiah But though I am confident of the finall issue of things that the prisoners of hope shall receive double satisfaction and the ransomed of the Lord shall return and come to ●…ion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads they shall obtain joy and gladness and sorrow and sighing shall flee away However these may be my thoughts yet I suppose I may justly be afflicted for the attempts of such as labour to reinslave us Shall I say onely re-inslave us and put upon our necks the former yoake No Sr. we are not so little versed in the World as to ignore that New Governments though Good create advantages for after-times and not those wherein they are erected but such as are bad threaten all with perpetuity of misfortunes unlesse God be more mercifull then man is wise Perswasions now are of that Nature as if they should bid us not returne to Goshen but the most dismall parts of Egypt rather then proceed on to our Felicity Nay this is not all which my soul regrets though to recede from Engagements Remonstrances Declarations and Protestations to forsake that providence to slight those mercies which we implored with tears be things meriting our highest resentments and the consequences whereof may involve not the Actours alone but such as afflict their righteous souls for the sins of Sodom and they who are strangers to their crimes participate often in the punishments of the wicked as Elijah suffered by the famine though Ahab and his Father's house troubled Israel certainely we ought all to lay it to Heart That the Ambitious ones of these times are not content to render others miserable by depriving them of or endangering them in their Liberties and fortunes unlesse they can make them criminall to and since the integrity of our Patriots is so well known that Envy it self can fasten no real imputation upon them they must be blemished with surmises and imaginations and what is defective in the proofe of the charge the Authority of those that divulge it must supply I could instance in many persons of such worth that this Age may blush they are not in greater dignities to which they would give a lustre rather then receive any thence themselves It was a complaint of the wise man an evill under the sun and an errour that folly should be set in great dignity and the rich sit in lowe place that servants were upon horses and Princes walked as servants upon the Earth How much more ought we to be aggrieved to see the most pious and prudent counsellours outed and disgraced and men of different qualifications advanced yet these men are aspersed and vilified thoroughout the Nation and by an uncouth barbarity they are assassinated in their reputes and whose names should be as pretious ointments powred forth these are represented as such which dead flies have infected with a stinking savour But their implacable malice hath discovered it self against no man so much as the Honourable Sr. Henry Vane one whom not to have heard of is to be a stranger in this land and not to honour and admire is to be an Enemy to all that is good and vertuous One whose integrity whose uprightness in the greatest employments hath secured him from the effects of their Hatred veiled with justice in whom his sincere piety Zeal for the publick and singular wisdom may have raised envy and dread Against him have they set themselves him have they damnified in his Estate prejudiced in his Liberty and laboured to disgrace unto the people of his native countrey but finding the Court-artifices to fail and that his inocence was not so to be prevailed upon they have at length incensed the Pulpit against him and made use of Mr. Richard Baxter's pen to serve their ends Sr. Henry Vane published in 1655 a book called The retired mans meditations in which he hath discovered the most glorious Truths that have been witnessed unto these 1500 years and more in a manner as extraordinary I mean not in the perswasive words of humane wisdom not in the sophistry of School-learning not as the Scribes and Pharisees but as one having Authority and in the evidence and demonstration of the Spirit in that Booke upon which none hitherto hath animadverted but Mr. Finch who had never yet found a name in the World but by the esteem of his Adversary he hath layed down this position That the Mystery of iniquity working in men of a legall conscience is the Magistrates entermedling with Christs power over the judgments of men Upon which saying that may serve for a paraphrase which is layed down by the same Author in his Healing Question where speaking of freedom to be exercised and enjoyned in matters of religion or that concern the service and worship of God He saith Vnto this freedom the Nations of the World have right and title by the purchase of Christ's blood who by vertue of his death and resurrection is become the sole Lord and ruler in and over the conscience for to this end Christ died rose and revived that he might be Lord both of the dead and living and that every one may give an account of himself in all matters of God's worship unto God and Christ alone as their own Master unto whome they stand or fall in judgement and are not in these things to be oppressed or brought before the judgement seats of men For why shouldst thou set at nought thy Brother in matters of his Faith and conscience and herein intrude into the proper office of Christ since we are all to stand before the judgement-seat of Christ whither Governors or Governed and by his decision onely are capable of being declared with certainty to be in the right or in the wrong By vertue then of this supream law sealed and confirmed in the blood of Christ unto all men whose soules he challenges a propriety in to bring under his inward rule in the service and worship of God it is that all Magistrates are to fear and forbear intermedling with giving rule or imposing in those matters They are to content themselves with what is plain in their commission as ordained of God to be his Minister unto men for good whilest they approve themselves the doers of that which is good in the sight of men and whereof earthly and Wordly judicatures are capable to make a clear and perfect judgment in which case the Magistrate is to be for praise and protection to them In like manner he is to be a Minister of terrour and revenge to those that doe evill in matters of outward practise converse and dealings in the things of this life between man and man for the cause whereof the judicatures of men are appointed and set up But to exceed these limits as it is not safe nor warrantable for the Magistrate in regard he who is higher then the highest regards and will shew himself
