Divine appointment to try them and because they were so a clamour was raised and their Governours must hear of it What shall we drink In the next Chapter they murmur for Meat as before they did for drink the whole Congregation murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness a National sin the whole Congregation and that both against their Prince and against their Priest But because this Murmuring was more loud than the former more combined and National 't is called Gnal Adonai telunnothechem Your murmurings are against the Lord and God looked upon it as done against himself The glory of the Lord appearing in a cloud whilst they were in this contest with their Leaders determined the case The Lord spake unto Moses I have heard the murmurings of the Children of Israel And are they better yet No in the next Chapter they are at the same trade again they want Water to their Manna they had in the last The People did chide with Moses Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us out of the Land of Egypt to kill us and our Children Their murmuring now had broke out into downright and impudent revilings they chide and that to the purpose and therefore Moses called the name of the place Massah and Meribah because of the chiding of the children of Israel and because they tempted the Lord saying Is the Lord among us or not I will leave you to judge whether we have not thus tempted God We are querulous and complaining upon every exigencie and our Governours must hear of it with both ears Ill men who have private designs of their own to carry on will always be complaining of publick Affairs and their complaints may sometimes seem so plausible that they may gain Proselytes to their Faction some of whom may not mean so ill as they do For with what plausible pretenses did the Serpent of Discord and Rebellion beguile many thousands What more plausible indeed more honourable than to engage in a War for the defence of King and Parliament 'T is the constitution of our Government and a happy one it is if we did well understand it our Laws propounded by our selves in Parliament and ratified by our Kings are our proper freedom as English Men and the due execution of them is our safety and they are State-Malignants indeed that will not contend for this But the cunning and ambitious men that framed the platform of our following Miserys fixed that odious name of Malignants upon all those who adhered to the King and the known Laws and would not run to the same excess of Riot and Madness with themselves After the same manner now they are stigmatiz'd with the more odious name of Tory's who have signified their resolution to stand by the established Government and will not be seduced by Popish and Fanatick contrivances for their eyes are open by woful experience to know and discern the aims of Seducers But he or they who gave them the name of Torys did design their ruine by it as if they were not fit to have so much as protection from the Government For Torys are in Ireland the Out-laws as the Banditi in Italy I remember the time when Parliament-Souldiers as they would be called such did Plunder the Houses and take away the Horses of honest Country-men who lived peaceably at home because they were Malignants The name of Malignant did warrant the Plunder But the Tory deserves the Gallow's so we see what quarter we must expect from some men if they could compass their ends to unhinge the Government Government is from God and so sacred whether it be in Church or State therefore Kings and Priests who are the Ministers of it are sacred persons and were always esteemed so till the Serpent in Paradise who presented the bait of immortality to Eve ensnared us with the like viz. freedom and liberty of Conscience both which we do measure with our own Rules I need not tell you the effects of those murmurings and complaints that brought the late Civil-Wars among us about forty years since the decoy to engage many thousands was to fight for King and Parliament but it ended in the ruine of both Our Zeal now is against Popery I beseech Almighty God with all the sincere Devotions that I can send up to Heaven that an indiscreet Zeal among some too many be not the occasion to bring it in but to keep it out from re-entring as a National Church none can ever be more concern'd in interest than a King of England this is our great security so long as we can enjoy a lawful King and him in peace at home for Popery cannot enter but by strugling of Factions III. Part of the Text The severe punishment of this Sin of murmuring in the Paradigme or Example Were destroyed of the destroyer The first punishment was a fire that brake out from the Lord and consumed some of them When the people complained it displeased the Lord and the Lord heard it and his anger was kindled and the fire of the Lord burnt among them and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the Camp Bemithonnim in the very fact when they complained The occasion is concealed in the Text but it was say the Jews from the mysterious reversion of the letter Nun when they would conspire to go back to Egypt The fire fell on the uttermost parts of the Camp that is that which should have led the Van for their retreat to Egypt The fire of the Lord to speak in the Hebrew Idiom a very great fire fell not many years since upon our Metropolis if I may not say a fire from the Lord for all disastrous casualtys depend upon his Providence without which a Sparrow falls not to the ground The next punishment for Israels murmuring is for their desire after flesh The mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting and the children of Israel also wept again and said Who shall give us flesh to eat This mixt multitude were those Nations gathered up in their march as we may probably conjecture with Grotius God was oft jealous over Israel for the evils he foresaw would accrew to them from other Nations and therefore by many repeated Laws did forbid their commerce with them This mixt multitude call them Arabians for that the word imports soon drew in the whole body of Israel into the same sin the people weep throughout their Familys and call for flesh they had it but they had it with a vengeance for while the flesh was yet between their teeth ere it was chewed the wrath of the Lord was kindled against the people and the Lord smote the people with a very great Plague Truly we have not asked meat for our lusts as Israel did but we have had it without asking and plenty hath oft been our complaint The next murmuring was occasioned by the Spys bringing up an evil report upon the Land of Canaan
