B10212	The remonstrance from the Reverend Father in God, Francis Lord Bishop of Ely, and several others, the most eminent divines of the Church of England, against the proceedings of the P: O. and the lords spiritual and temporal, that invited him. Being an adress [sic], from the pulpit to the King, in fifteen sermons; denouncing damnation, &c. to the abdicators of God's annoynted, and abettors of this rebellion.	Turner, Francis, 1638?-1700.	1689 (1689)	Wing T3279; ESTC R185788	60,696	114

have now at last taken Arms and begun a most Bloody Rebellion against the Lord 's Annoynted And now what storms are coming upon Us what Devastations and Spoyles by Fire and Sword may we justly dread And the whole Nation alas may now become a Theatre of War and Feild of Blood And the streets fill'd with the Cryes of Widdows and the Fatherless with Murders Rapins Incest Adulterys Sacriledges Massacres and Conflagrations And what satisfaction now can any Loyal Subject have to think of Surviving the Ruines of the Government or to live in a Land Polluted and Stain'd with Blood to see daily before his Eyes the dismal spectacle of his enslav'd undone Country or to live in pepetual Fears of being made a Sacrifice himself But it hath hitherto pleased that God who allotteth to Atheists and Rebells a portion with the Hypocrite to rescue and preserve his Majesty from the Paws of these Bloody Miscreants Hence it appears That good Kings are the immediate care of God and that They should be so seems agreeable to the Oeconomy of his Providence and is confirm'd by Examples in all Ages For They are his Annoynted His Vicegerents set over Us by his appointment and are therefore entituled to a special Right in the Divine Providence Of this Truth his present Majesty with the late King his Royal Brother have been very Eminent Examples through the whole course of their Respective Lives And that which seems Truly deplorable in this Execrable Treason is the Hardiness and Impenitence that accompanies This Rebellion and pursues the Rebells to the very moments of their Deaths But wo be to Those wretched Guids who lead Them into both Those Betrayers of Souls who instead of disposing men to Christian Obedience have caused Them first to Rebell and then instead of disposing Them to Repentance have encouraged them in the Rebellion And then at their very Deaths have forc'd them as it were to Publish such Iustifications as seem written with designe to incite their accomplices to carry on the work here whilst they are answering for it in the other world and this consideration is enough to make the hearts of all good Christians Ake And We must now pray that as God hath hitherto preserved the King so that Justice may overtake those Rebells and Traytors whom Mercy cannot Reclaim In a word then as We are thankful to God for the preservation of his Majesty hitherto so let Us implore Protection over him for the time to come That he may daily Receive fresh Accessions of Strength and Splendor and be Recompenced for the times wherein He hath suffered Adversity O Lord save the King And bless thine Annoynted Send Him help from thy holy Hill And evermore mightily defend Him. Let the Enemy have no advantage over Him Nor the Wicked approach to hurt Him. Amen Lonndon Printed for R Royston his Majesties Book-seller A Se●mon Preach'd before the Lord Mayor c. of London By Henry Hesketh Minister of St. Hellens 1 Pet. 2 15. For so is the will of God that with Well-doing you may put to Silence the Ignorance of Foolish-men WE then most truly honour God when we express a great sense of his Power and Soveraignty over us in our Lives And we then only glorify and acceptably praise Him when we live according to his Commandements acknowledg the reasonableness and goodness of his Laws and chearfully do those things that are pleasing unto Him. Among these there cannot well be an higher instance than to live up to the Principles of that Excellent Religion that he has appointed To be the Measure of all our Actions To enquire now what was The Cavil and objection which these Foolish men made against Christian Religion which the Apostle in the Text hath respect unto and would have Silenced And this may easily be resolv'd by considering the two verses immediatly preceding the Text In which the Apostle doth press the duty of Obedience and Subjection to Our Lawful Governors both Supream and Subordinate Submit Your selves to every Ordinance of Man whether it to be the King as Supreme or unto Governors as those that are sent by Him. And this he presseth by an Argument that can never fail of effect upon a good man 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 for the Lord and out of Conscience to him whose Institution Government is and who hath commanded Subj●ction to it Upon which These words immediatly follow by which We plainly understand that the Objection which he enjoyns this Subjection in Confutation of was that old and early Clamour that Christian Religion was an Enemy to Government and the professors of it Factious and Seditious persons The great Clamour against the Christians upon which that great uproar against them at Thessalonica was stirred Acts 17. 6 7. was this ●hese that have Turned the World up-side down are come hither also and These all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar saying there is another one Jesus King. This you will also finde the chief thing in the accusation against St. Paul Acts 24 5. For we have found this Man a Pestelent fellow and a Mover of Sedition c. And I doe most readily confess that were this accusation true were Christian Religion inconsistent with Government an Enemy to it or a Disturber of it there could not be an objection that would be more fatal to it all the Reproach and Dishonour that men could load it with were just there were no apology to be made for it nor any thing to be expected but that all the world should combine together against it All men that have any becoming thoughts of the Providence and Goodness of God how tender he is of the good of Mankind and how largly he hath provided for it how wisely he conducts the course of humane affairs and steers them by Rules which would make them and all things else that is happy can never beleive That to be a Divine Religion or be perswaded to accept it as coming from God which perplexeth the course of things and defeats these good purposes of God in the World. God is the God of Order and not of Confusion the Author as well as Lover of Concord and Peace and not of Ruine and Dissention among Men And therefore can never be the Author of any Religion that is destructive of the One and naturally effective of the other among them And it therefore greatly concerns all Those that hav● any Respect for the Christian Religion to be sure to keep it clear from any Objections of this kind The Ancient Apologists have taken care ●in their Noble defences of Christian Religion to clear it from this Scandalous Reflection By appealing to the known Doctrines and Principles of it They challenge the World to instance in any one saying in the new Testament whether there ●e the least hint or encouragement given to Rebellion or any thing that can warrant the least undutifull Carriage towards our Governors Or rather whether there be not enough asserted
