The great God that is most high and infinite, that hath the command of heaven and earth, and of all therein; who hath taken to himselfe that liberty as not to give an account of any of his matters to any of his creatures; and this is the power of his excellency which he holdeth forth for all our learning in his word, and his liberty God hath given to kings on earth: and none may say to the King, what dost thou? And now that Gods commandements hath not been observed, but the power resisted, it is high time that they were.

Yea truth faileth and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey and the Lord saw it and it displeased him that there was no judgement 16. verse And he saw that there was no man and wondered that there was no intercessor therefore his arme brought salvation to him and his right hand it sustained him And now if you desire to be at peace with God and all men I beseech you all Parliament and Army bring your selves and actions to the rule and agree with God which is your adversary now while you may And now for Indemnity so far forth as Gods word would give it you no question but you shall have it if you prove your selves worthy persons if not your foot shall slide in due time Deutro 32. 35.

Isai. 55. 7. And now that there are and hath been long this many years and a company in shipskins that doth seek to deceive the hearts of the simple and honest party and these and some colourable to set up Christs Kingdome But indeed their aim is to set up Antichrists Kingdome and a party they are who heretofore in the Queens time and a party of those hath been all along in the Parliament and the Army and up and down in the Kingdome brooding and he that they call Dell in the Army is one of them he baptized Major Cowels childe without the Element of water and that holds forth that he is one of Antichrists Seminaries and yet it is well that there is a severation now in the Parliament and I would it were so in the Army to least the justice of God break out upon the good with the bad and this party their designs all along hath been squint-eyed and it may be called to minde that it was said there was a great plot found out just before the Army came into the City the first time And indeed that plot was to make that party strong in the Parliament by the Army that so they may bring their lustfull desires about And now when Remonstrance came forth it was noised about that the Parliament and the King were agreed and whilest they took the King and possest themselves of White-hall and of the City and now the pretence is that the Army is come into the City because of the backwardnes of their paying and the Army want their Arrears But the aboundant of money that hath been gathered in all these times both in the Countryes and City for the Army and no account given that ever any of it was paid for the Souldiers reports they have had but a little in comparison of what hath been gathered And indeed the Army aboundant of them are kept like Vassels and their pay kept from them because there should be some colourable pretence for the indirect courses that hath been long a foot and upon this colourable pretence treasure is ceazed upon and much more their Demands holds forth of taking by force out of mens houses if they may not have their wils And this they hold forth now and it is their own words and if it seem strange unto you it is no lesse then that our forces have been ordered to doe by the Parliament in severall Counties of the Kingdome and because there was order from the Parliament in the severall Counties heretofore they make that of sufficiency to cary forth all their preposterous doings now but no order now for all these actings but from White-hall since their Remonstrance came forth for all this is acted and done and who but a King Cals and Sets the Parliament and who but a King can set a period unto it And indeed this is not to doe now as doth appeare but take heed fellow souldiers covet not that that is none of your own but for your pay which is fit you should have There are some will shake their laps and pay you suddenly yea repay to other if they doe not leave your cause to him that is higher then the highest and the Lord will be with the good And remember the civill war that was between Israel and Benjamin and how that Israel fell twise before Benjamin and how that 40000. men were slain and yet not with standing the third time Israel prevailed and subdued Benjamin and so it will be now and the Lord that hath chosen Ierusalem will rebuke you Zach. 3. 2. And now if you will yet be Vassels I speak to the good party disband immediately for God himself will end the war And there is a party will be brought down wonderfully and I feare that some will hardly die the common death of all men and now let us wait to see the salvation of God farewell fellow Souldier God hath warned the twise by me and too much writing is a wearisomnes to the brain Fear God and keep his commandements for this is the whol dutie of man For God will bring the work to judgement with every secret thought whether it be good or evill You were told long agone that you were turned into an indirect way also you were told who was the Person in chiefe that God hath set to govern you will see it suddenly you that are so hasty to try your brethren that break your commands and forget God take heed he is comming to tear you in pieces and who shall deliver you Christ will not own your cause and the latter end of the 50. Psalme But you say that you observe providence and that and your consciences are the teachers but seeing it is so that you have left the two Testiments your great fabrick will fall read the scriptures for all things comes alike to all I refer you to three chapters in speciall Proverb 26. and Isai. 57. Rom. 2. and I will sing the 46.

born and Horod made King over the Jews by Caesar Augustus we read in holy writ that many male children Herod slew thinking thereby to destroy Christ yet for all that blood he shed God did not take him away till the full time of his dayes were expired Nay God caused Joseph to carry his own sonne Christ into Aegypt till Herod was dead for God hath ordained his word from the beginning and it shall continue firme and sure not a title of it shall fall to the ground And thus saith the Lord Children must obey their Parents in all things and Servants their Masters according to the flesh yea though they are wicked and doe beat them for well doing they are not to turn again but to bear it patiently and in so doing its thank-worthy to God But Gods commandements are not regarded to be observed in the publike ordinances nor generally in mens lives like the Scribes and Pharises taught children to disobey their Parents and they thought to have taught Christ too For they came and asked him why his disciples did eat with unwashed hands but Christ answered them by way of a question why doe you transgresse the commandements of God by your traditions for God commanded saying Honour thy father and thy mother Hee that curseth father or mother let him dye the death I would know of our Divines whether the penalty of this command bee abrogated the Scribes and Pharisees would have had it so and it is amongst us fully abrogated in the obedience of it but Christ called the Scribes and Pharisees hipocrites and told them in vain they did worship him teaching for doctrine the traditions of men which were their own wils as it is at this day amongst us Now where are those or Jeremiahs to mourne and cry out in regard of the pitifull complaints that are amongst us as Jeremiah did concerning the reproach that is come upon them and upon their inheritances for their inheritances were turned unto strangers and their houses to aliens and now there is a beginning of like condition amongst us for saith Ieremiah Servants have ruled over us and there was none to deliver out of their hands and these servants hang up their Princes by their hands and the faces of their Elders were not honoured Lament 5. 1 8 12. If it be well observed in this place of the Lamentations that the breach of the fifth Commandement was the chiefe sinne that brought all that extremity upon them and the 22 of Ezekiel maketh it manifest And the Holy-ghost by the Preacher further sets forth the practise of such Servants as break their rancks and cast the commandement of God behinde them and saith there is a generation who teeth are as swords and their jaw teeth as knives to devoure the poore from off the earth and the needy from among men Prov. 30. 21 22 and the Preacher persists in his speech and goeth on and saith there be three things for which the earth is disquieted and foure which it cannot bear two of them are a Seavant when he reigneth and a fool when he is fil'd with meat And now for the sonnes of Corath that are not contented with their particular places and callings and are not contented to study their duties to God and man and to doe violence to none and waight till God shall honour them if he sees it good But with Corah Numb. 16. they think themselves fit to hold forth as publike Persons the Priestly office of Christ and they think themselves fit for the Kingly office too and indeed one sinne goeth not alone for sinne is of that spreading nature according to its tutor Satan it will aime at the top But when things comes to this passe that Servants gets the government into their hands the earth groans as before said in the Proverbs and the heavens hath manifested it ever since the King was taken from Holmby and the souldiers drawing near to the City as we have already in briefe exprest And now all that hath eyes and will not see and ears and will not hear take heed and remember that God caused the earth that groans and because it could not longer bear it swallowed Corah and his Company for he preserveth not the life of the wicked but giveth right to the poore Job 36. 6. And the delaying to keepe a good conscience before God and towards all men brought danger and the Army breaking their ranks took the King from Holmby and because there was great and much resort to him and some secret intentions withall at length he was put in feare of his life whereby hee might make his escape and so be further remote and after he was fled to the Isle of Wyght there was no right way thought upon to bring him back againe but rather such wayes taken which were not lined out by Gods word neither hath beene blessed by him Yet a seeming to stand up for the great God by fasting and prayer as people that would be taught of him But yet still in all proceedings the actings doings looked squint-eyed and quite contrary to the rule and this we know a man in a journey if he mistakes and rides out of his way the longer he goes out the more adoe he hath to come back againe without he doth come into the way he cannot get to his Journeyes end this earthly resemblance holds forth a heavenly to us But to goe on Then there was an act of Indemnity desired by the Army to be procured by the Parliament and a seeming falling out betweene them there grew whereupon the Parliament commanded the Army to keep thirty miles from the Citty and at length to draw into severall Regiments and to disband but the Army disobeyed the Parliaments command as well as the Prince and Duke and marched neerer and neerer to the Citty and upon the sudden the Malitia must be altered which was appointed by the common counsell of the Citty and confirmed by order of Parliament And after this leading Card the Citty began to be touch to the quick in regard of the losse of their Charter they indirectly made a combustion the Army being upon their march there must be no denyall but the Tower must be surrendered to them and it was concluded thar they should come through the Citty And at the very time yea the instant of time although it was a very faire sun-shiny day the Heavens all about the Citty gather blacknesse and presently there was such a mighty storme of Haile Thunder and Raine and all of it in and about the Citty and foure miles of there was none but very cleare weather But this Thunder of Haile did hold forth that height of Gods displeasure against the Armies disobedience to the Parliament in Gods account disobedience is a greater neglect then sacrifice because it is absolutely the breach of Gods commandment and Samuel told Saul that Rebellion is as the sinne of Witch-craft and Stubbornnesse is as the Iniquity But to
