Set forth in a sermon preached in St. Pauls Church, London, before the Right Honorable the Lord Mayor, Lord General, aldermen, Common Council, and companies of the honorable City of London. February 28. 1659. Being a day of solemn thanksgiving unto God, for restoring the secluded Members of Parliament to the House of Commons: (and for preserving the city) as a door of hope thereby opened to the fulness and freedom of future Parliaments: the most probable means under God for healing the hurts, and recovering the health of these three Brittish kingdomes.

their punniards or else dressed them with poysoned spunges while they seem to purg them as one that is killed by a glyster or potion And at best by a most impudent hypocrisie they have skinned over the hurts with some shew of setling what was shaken and of reforming what was amiss when indeed no men did more deform the beauty or ruine the welfare and hinder the healing of the publique than these Healers by their enormious sins and outragious lusts by their unjust and violent actions by their partiality and impotency of their passions by their evil eyes their fowle breath and their rough hands which are the instruments of bad hearts and base minds Little or no publique healing is expectable from men that are inordinate self-lovers covetous boasters proud blasphemers disobedient to parents natural civil ecclesiastical unthankeful unholy without natural affection truce-breakers false-accusers incontinent fierce despisers of those that are solidly sincerely and constantly good Traytors heady high-minded lovers of pleasures more then of God having a form of godliness but denying the power of it as the Apostle gives their character by an holy Satyr And can any thing that is good for the health of the daughter of my people proceed from such Galileans such evil men who meditate mischief night and day who decree unrighteous decrees and act wickedness with both hands greedily Who think themselves most hurt if the State and Church should be throughly and speedily healed they fancy themselves undone if any publick good be honestly done 't is pain and death to them to have the bones well set which by them have been broken to see the {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} rather than the {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} gaping wounds or gulphs rather closed up which they have either made or widened and kept so open that they threaten in a few years to swallow up all the wealth and pea●e and honour and strength and happinesse of the Nation and Church Yet these are the men that say peace peace that would be thought the only blessed Peace-makers the soveraign healers of the hurts of the daughter of my people such Monopolisers of all Medicines and healing Drugs that they are impatient any others should take the cure in ●and or have any thing to do in Church or State beside themselves and their Applauders They tell the poor Patient which is full of wounds and putre●ied sores that they will do her more good with their tongues and lips added to their Launcets and Swords than the best Physicians can do by their best unguents and soveraign balsoms while the poor sick wounded and languishing Creature cries out for some ease and pity yea roars for the very disquietnesse of its soul and continued pains yet without any shame or blushing these Physicians of no value these miserable Mountebanks affecting a supercilious shew of soveraign Majesty severely frown on the pitifull looks and tears of the daughter of my people with terror threatning her to hold her peace to believe she hath peace nay to say and swear it is peace peace yea and to abjure the use of any other men or better means which have been formerly very effectual for her healing and recovery Quis Coelum terrae non misceat mare c●lo Here Patience it self is a sin and Impatience a vertue Who not stupid can forbear with the Prophet to cry out Hear O heaven and give ear O earth Was ever any Nation so tampered with so pestered by a company of fallacious Physicians pretenders to heal superficial skinners dilatory Empiricks and miserable Medicasters who resolve small hurts into grievous Ulcers and green wounds into virulent gangreens and little braises into fell and inflamed tumors yet cry peace peace and we have healed you why do you yet complain As if the Prophet should say it is high time indeed after so many years of wasting and wounding of war and trouble of death and bloodshed of undoing and destroying of cutting and dividing the Body Politique turning the daughter of my people as on the Gridiron from one side to the other by vicissitudes of burning Feavers by continual tossings and fits of high diste●●pers between the wrath of God and heavy hand upon her beside the fury of men against her yet to cry peace peace to her when as the Lord lives there is no peace nor many steps between the patient and death or at best such a sorry peace as is no less chargeable terrible and oppressive than an open war Pax omni bello tristior a peace patched up with popular pretentions and impious injuries as the body of Lazars whose plaisters rather hide than heal their sores What true peace can that be which is founded onely on sands and quagmires on violence and exaction daubed over with the untempered mo●tar of policy and hypocrisie which holds not one winter built up with cries begun with violence carryed on with oppression and ending in desolation Peace or health and salvation are far from the ungodly What peace can there be to the wicked Princes or People Senators or Souldiers whose feet are swift to shed innocent bloud whose hands are full of bribes whose hearts are hollow and double minded whose power is usurped whose decrees are unrighteous whose mouths are full of fraud and flattery Peace and Establishment in Church and State with God and Men are the fruits of Justice and Righteousness of true Religion and good Laws of just Magistracy and legal Soveraignty of fixed free and united Councils of wise and honest Valour the study prayer and endeavour of men fearing God and hating covetousness men of true publique Spirits who are not swayed by private interests and passions to any novel designs and factious adherencies Men of wisdome and honor fortified with just Authority are only apt to make a Nation happy by healing her in those ways of honest decrees and impartial dealing which are legal and regular not fanatick and extravagant which every night dream and in the morning propose new receits Seraphick projects and untryed medicaments which sufficiently shew that such Chyrurgeons and Physitians are either ignorant or pragmatick or impertinent either not knowing what to do or not willing to do what they know but are resolved to do any thing never so foolish and pernicious rather than sit still and do nothing or give way to better heads and hands who have more authority from God and man and so may better expect a blessing What peace can there be or true healing while the most crying sins that mankind are capable to commit or conceive the deepest wounds and sorest hurts from the hand of man that a Nation can receive are unpunished and unrepented yea unconsidered yea incouraged yea cryed up by some for rare examples of Justice of Liberty of Piety of Sanctity when neither the holy God ever commanded or holy men ever practised any such thing
