Prince and blessed Progenie the only remaine of our religious hope Nor hath the Lord yet failed vs in his prouidence but his mercie towards vs is stretched out stil fortie foure yeares wee enioyed a peerelesse Prince and a Maiden Queene as was her name so was her nature ordained of GOD to giue vs his peace for so is Elizabeth euen Gods rest But when her glasse was runne and done she must to demurre with death Then I say euen then if the Lord had failed vs in the right of succession we might haue said as Be●seba did to Dauid in the like extremitie If thou Lord doe not appoint a successor I and my sonne Solomon shall be reputed vile I say if any Romish Adonias had succeeded Elizabeth all the Protestants in the Land ere this had beene reputed vile but thou Lord God of the spirits of all flesh hast not failed vs but appointed a man ouer the congregation to lead vs out and in that the congregation of the Lord shoulde not bee as sheepe which haue no shepheard And as Moses praied for Iosua so doe we for thine annointed O giue him of thy glorie that all the congregation of the children of Israell may obey And so to come and close with the rest I ayme at hauing passed by the Lords prouidence so many Iordens of dangers and hauing enioyed so many merciful refreshings like the sweet running waters of Shiloas that goe softly by Sion hauing I say bene made blessed by so many deliuerances of old and now by this of new the greatest of all endangered by men but deliuered by God now let vs ioyntly giue him the glory who hath made vs so glorious by deliuerance Dread Soueraigne deare Queene sweet Prince and progenie cast downe your Crownes at the feete of your Sauiour and say Wee haue beene saued by thee Earles Nobles and Barons lay by your Robes of estate with your ensignes of honour praise him who hath preserued you and say We haue beene saued by thee You officers in Court resigne vp your staues into the handes of God and say We haue beene supported by thee Ye learned Bishops and Fathers of the Church slide from your Consistories and say to the great Bishop of your soules Wee haue beene kept by thee Ye Knights Squiers and Gentry of the Land vnarme your selues and with your Crests lay your Lawrell in the lappe of Christ and say Wee haue conquered through thee Thou high Court of Parliament dissolue for a time and say O Angell of the great Counsell we will consult with thee And lastly Thou Lord God of Gods and preseruer of men let there bee silence in heauen for the space of halfe an houre till these Saints praises and praiers be offered vp So shall wee sing with a godly Ouation and a grace in our hearts Kings of the earth and all people Princes al Iudges of the world yong men and maides olde men and babes praise the name of the Lord for his name onely is excellent and his praise aboue heauen and earth hee hath exalted the horne of his people his Saints shall praise him euen the children of England whom he loueth and hath made so glorious by deliuerance Praise the Lord O virgin daughter London Praise thy God O England the glorie of Kingdomes and beauty of all Europes honor for he hath made fast the barres of thy gates and hath blessed thy children within thee hee hath set peace in thy borders and satisfied thee with the flower of wheat Let the praise of God therefore bee euer in thy mouth and a sharpe two edged sword in thy hands to be auenged of the Heathenish Atheist and to rebuke the bloudie Papist such honor haue al Saints And now to speake to you Authors and Abettors of these desperate Treasons Cease your Rebellions lay by your bloudie designes recount with your selues your former both faithlesse and fruitlesse attemptes against the Lord and against his annointed Reckon with your selues your former losses in the yeere 1588. whē the windes the Seas Rocks and Shelues fought for vs when the Riuer Kishon swept them away from our English Coast to Dingie Cush in Ireland with a Beesome of such destruction to their great Armadae and frighting to our English Fugitiues abroad of their fauorites at home as by the grace of God hath brought them out of all heart out of all abilitie and possibilitie euer to attēpt the like Learne what it is to fight with GOD Wee must increase you must decrease for Babilon is fallen so told you by the Angel as a thing already past and done and doubled in speech like Pharaos dreame to tell you of the certaintie and expedition thereof Cease O cease to prouoke the Lord any longer and ende your mallice against his Saints ere malice end you lest hee say vnto you as he did vnto Mount Seir Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred and hast put the Israell of God to flight by the force of the sword in the time of their calamitie when their iniquitie had an end Therefore as I liue saith the Lord God I will prepare thee vnto bloud and bloud shall pursue thee except thou hate bloud euen bloud shall pursue thee God is witnesse before whom I stand in the sight of men Angels that I speake not this to seeke the bloud of any their bloud bee vppon themselues and theirs till they haue dried it vp by vnfained repentance I wish the conuersion of all viis modis by all good meanes I wish our Lawes may still be written in milke and that his Maiesties Royall heart may continue a depth of rare mercie I wish our preaching may sauour peace and that the Magistrate may still strike with a trembling hand Yet giue me leaue to pray withall that the rage of the enemy neuer grow so sower as to turne our milke into bloud mercy into iudgement peace into war sythes into swords and them to be hallowed in the bloud one of another which I feare both must will ensue if they grow so great in the contempt of God so grieuous to their Soueraigne and so intollerable to the State which if they doe then be wise O ye Kings be learned ye that be iudges of the earth Let mercy and truth meet together in you Let righteousnes and peace kisse each orher Take the sword into your owne hands and strike O ye Worthies of Israell for Zeba and Zalmana will neuer be killed by the weake hands of Iethro for as the man is so is his strength The Minister may speake the inferior Magistrate may strike and both with a trembling heart and hand like the child Iethro but assure your selues that Romish Zeba and Popish Zalmana will neuer die till you rise vp and with your owne hands fall vpon them as Gedeon did for as the man is so is his strength Sit in vobis materna pietas
