thine enemies the letter made loue and nature worke toward thee alone whose very fountaine and springs were stopped vp and shut close to all others and yet out of that ground their blinded harts infatuated minds might haue gathered that if blood or alliance or any other respect ought to haue moued them to haue bowels and feeling towards thee it might haue led others to haue had tendernes towards others also of their friends yea euen to all England the common parents of vs all and to euery sonne daughter of the same but that seeming to be wise they became fooles and the scripture must be true the mercies of the wicked are vnmercifull their bowels the seat of mercie are cruell if they that are euill can giue good thinges to their friends not stones but bread not scorpions but fishes how much more shall not our heauenly Father who made all euen pittie all and loue the images of his owne creation the works of his owne hands who hath better right to euery one of vs then any friend

generation of God in him we liue wee moue and haue our being Doe thou wisely consider the Lords loue to thee and obserue prudently withall their leaden rule of their false loue for no good patriore can abide himselfe to be loued when his Country is hated obserue the wisedom of God to produce out of cōmon hatred particular loue out of particular loue generall safetie in his mighty power notwithstanding vowes oathes and sacraments of secrecie to set our sworne enemies to indight for our good to make their fingers write peace whose hearts hatched warre to order in his wise dispensation such a spirit of zeale and caution in you doe thou reuerence this great God in a true sense sound spirit of discerning spirits that hath honoured thee with so great seruice suggested and gaue grace to make the best vse of it as they prophecied in another meaning namely to be a great sauiour to Prince Country and yet remēbring what a holy father said Marie the great instrument of all Christians good she was more blessed by beleeuing Christ then by bearing him by receiuing him in her heart by faith then by conceiuing him in her wombe doe you my good Lord make this a meanes to increase your faith
