joyous to the gooly for the present then much more no punishments to the wicked for the prophet saith no peace * 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 speaketh my God to the wicked besides to preach glad tidings unto others and his own Funerall Sermon it was 〈◊〉 an uncomfortable time but the place was good enough for he never had more roome had the scaffold been but empty nor yet a greater audience of people so much for his Apology now I come to the ●ex Heb. 12.1.2 As his memory was not to be trusted to but his paper and his place very uncomfortable so his time was very short for he wanted time otherwise he would have devided his Text but to show his s●hollership in too many places though it would not have charged his memory yet his paper being charged in the 7. 10. 13. 14 18 19. pages too much Latine except it had bin all interpreted or else he mighth ●●ve been affraid of this word us for this word us would have shewed that it was meant the saints and not Traitors or impenitent Malefactors for the cloud of witnesses before used were such as were persecuted by such as himselfe themselves being no persecuter He saith he hath bin long running the Race I canno● say so a Race but not the Race for if he had begun Christ which was the Author would have him the finisher or if he had bin the finisher he would have finished his worke better therefore you say well you are come to the end of your owne Race You say that the shame must be despised or else there is no comming to the crowne I had thought the crowne had bin come to by the free grace of God and sufferings and effect in those which have received the assurance but now I see your Arminianism and your generall Redemntion although you have kept it close you tell us he hath despised the shame for you then Christ hath died for all and if he died for all then all shall be saved Indas share and yours is as good as the rest of the Disciples and he despised the shame for Christ though he crucified him He saith that be is going apace toward the red Sea his feet being upon the brink and it is an argument that God is bringing him to the Land of promise and that he instituted a Passover for them so Pharaoh was going a pace toward the read sea when he persecuted the children of Israel a poore argument that ever he should come to the land of Canaan but he was drowned in the sea against his wil so you whilst your chariot wheels were on but now you are come to the red Sea against your will so as Pharaoh and all his host were drowned your head hath bin chopt off and your red bloud run about the scaffold but Israel passed thorough dryshod and triumphed over Pharaoh and all his Host as the saints do now over you your head being chopt off the Passover was instituted but for Israel and the Lord past them by but the first borne of Pharaoh were all slaine so God hath passed by those which you have persecuted and you are catched in the same snare Hagaion selah As for your digesting the soure Herbs you must whether you will or no and for your being not angry it is because your Horns be cut off the day hath been when you would not have been well pleased with the hearing tell of such soure and bitter Herbs and though you were a chiefe Bishop you mistake Christs example for when hee prayeth that the Cup might passe from him he prayeth so that the people might understand him and the Apostle saith bee will pray with the spirit and with understanding also else how could they that occupied the roome of the unlearned say Amen In the next place you see though he had some faith such a one as it was that Israel was saved and their enemies drowned and the three Children freed from the fiery furnace and they that put them in burned so that he should be delivered and they which hee suffered under should suffer themselves but hee wanted a Revelation for that He told us also that his resolution was as the three Childrens and not to worship the Image which the King had set up telling us that the people had set up their imaginations saying that he would not forsake the Temple and Truth to follow the bleating of Ierobvames Calves in Dan and Bethell you see his thoughts of the erecting worship but hee sayd nothing of the bleating of the Sheepe and the lowing of the Oxen which where in Pauls and many other places puld downe by Order of Parliament though formerly reedified by himselfe He prayed that God would open the Peoples eyes that they might see the right way for if the blind lead the blind they will both fall into the ditch it was well considered for he had led so many into the ditch himselfe that except they see a righter way then he led them will not get out in hast And as for his Repentance looke into the Epistle to the Reader but behold what a foule heart he had for after he had ransaked it hee found no sinnes there they being hid as Saul was amongst the stuffe that deserved Death by any just Lawes of this Kingdome here is worke for the Parliament he meanes it may be repealing worke though he cleares the Judges with his mouth yet there might be seven abominations in his heart for I am sure hee condemns the witnesses and leaving Christ he takes comfort in Elfegus you see that hee keeps his Supremacy still as the Pope which saith that he is Christs Viegerent upon Earth forgetting what Christ said to his Apostler let him that it chiefe amongst you be your servant call no man Lord for one is your Lord which is Iesus Christ bee not Lords over Gods heritage you see hee tumbles good causes and bad together and good persons and bad together daubing up his comforts with Iohn the Baptist Paul and Steven and with ancient Fathers as the Papists his Brethren doe He said also that the Pope had never such a Harvest in his life but if it should come to the Popes care he would give him little thanks for his report if Heading Hanging Drawing and Quartering cutting off Archbishops hea●s be such a harvest he will not medle with it take th● cro● who will You see also what a favorite hee was to the King and and how he knowes his mind and who was his counsellor or Achitophel but I remember Pharaoh he saw it pleased the people and so he proceeded further Citizens cleare your selves for you are taxed by my Lords Booke for going to the Parliament to cry out for Justice and there is Scripture against you so that by consequence for this great crime you wil bring innocent bloud on your selves but it may bee hee gives you this caution to make the People thinke himselfe Innocent and you
