As also, Judahs past, with Englands present miseries parallel'd; with sundry other particulars, very profitable and necessary for Christians of all degrees, to know the mysteries of God. Collected out of the Scriptures this 22. of the 11th moneth (corruptly called January) 1647. for the benefit of all, but chiefly for such, who hold the truth in unrighteousness, err in vision, and stumble in judgement.

ye rejected him saying We will not have this man to reigne over us for we have no King but Caesar is now dispers d among the Nations and shall be only a Remnant For as ye w●re a curse among the Heathen saith the Lord O House of Israel and House of Judah f so will I save you and ye shall be a Blessing For in those days and at that time the children of Israel and the children of Judah shall g come together They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward saying Come Let us joyn our selves to the Lord in a Perpetual Covenant that shall never be forgotten Then shall the Tribes of Israel mourn when they see him whom their fore-fathers rejected and shall h declare my glory among the Gentiles and they the Gentiles shall bring your brethren unto the Lord out of all Nations in their Ships and upon Horses and in Litters and in Chariots and upon Mules and upon swift Beasts or Dromedaries to my holy Mountain Jerusalem and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem saith the Lord For as the New Heaven and the New Earth which I will make shall remain before me so shall your Seed and your Name remain saith the Lord And the Gentiles i shall come to thy Light and Kings to the brightness of thy rising When I have raised you out of your graves then thy sons shall come from far and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side And the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee Then will I return k to the people a pure language They shall not see Evil any more for Evil the Divel shall not dwell with thee Christ in glory saith David And because salvation is far from the wicked for they search not Gods statutes yea they are hid from their eyes neither can they know them because they are * spiritually discerned Therefore ye that truly fear the Lord God of salvation eternal life light and glory Christ Jesus Search the Scriptures l for in them ye look to have Eternal Life and they testifie of me saith our Saviour For the Scriptures only comparing spiritual things with spiritual things are able to make you wise u●to salvation Knowing this that the Scriptures are not of any private m Interpretation For we have this Treasure of Gods revealed Will by his Word in Earthen Vessels that the Excellency of the Power may be of God and not of us for none knoweth the things of God but the Spirit of God So that it plainly appeareth that all mens Interpretations of what quality or degree of Learning soever or paraphrasing upon the Scriptures is only a private Interpretation and so is uncertain for there is no man that can truly say that he is immediately sent from God as the Prophets were and hath an infallible unerring spirit and that his interpretations of the Scripture and his paraphrasing on them are most infallibly true Therefore Wo to them that are wise in their own Eys and prudent in their own sight Wo to them that put Darkness for Light and Light for Darkness That broach the Divels Doctrine of lyes for a Truth and force all men to obey and receive them as the Truth For no man can serve two masters God and Mammon Christ and the Divel But the learned Pharisees who were covetous derided Christ the Wisdom of God saying Is not this the Carpenter the Son of Joseph And Jesus said unto them Ye are they which justifie your selves before men to have much Learning Wisdom and Piety but God knoweth your hearts for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men but within ye are full of Hypocrisie and Iniquity and devour Widdows houses yet for a shew of feigned Piety make long Prayers like most of our covetous Priests Therefore beware of the Scribes which walk in long robes or garments and make merchandise of the VVord of Truth by Sermons of all Prises Sacrament Christnings Churchings of Women an burying of the Dead at several Rates Easter-book New-yeers-gifts and Excommunications with several other pecuniary offences at several Rates These several Truths with the following matter contained in this Treatise I recommend to thy conscientious and diligent perusal without a prejudicate opinion beseeching thee as thou expectest eternal life in glory in the land of the living to search the Scriptures and try the truth of this following matter even as the noble Bereans did The happy issue whereof I refer to the blessing of the Almighty God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who only in and by his Son works in us both the VVill and the Deed Desiring thee also to consider that the Testimonies of the Lord are true and wonderful giving light and understanding to the simple For by thy Word thou O Lord hast made me wiser then my Teachers saith David With which saying I also conclude committing thee to the Direction and Tuition of the Almighty Goodness of the great God and Father of all Spirits the Excellent Glory Remaining thine in the Lord Jesus the God of Salvation to my Power James Frese Being still in Bonds which fain I would not be The man I was I wish I nere had bin Thy hands affliction hath drawn me home to thee Lord grant thy work may more on me be seen That Asia's seed in Europ's Soyl may spring And bear a Pleasing fruit to Israels King And Englands Sons and Daughters also may Bring thy People in that most happy day To Sions hill and there Present to thee Themselves with Iudah a most Pleasing Tree Where they shall see thee and thy Saints be known To them their friends and children which they own Lo God hath chosen the foolish and weak things of the world to consound the wise and mighty And having hid these things from the wise and prudent hath revealed them unto Babes And thus you see it plainly doth appear To be a truth most evident and clear That some Proficients are in natures schools And yet in Christ's meer novices yea fooles Probatum est 1647. JUDAHS PAST WITH ENGLANDS Present Miseries paralleld And the holy Land of PALESTINA with ENGLAND paralleld the one being Asias the other Europes Canaan or Land of Plenty SECT. I. THUS saith the Lord smite with thine hand and with thy foot and say Alas for the evill abominations of the Land Behold an evill an only evill is come it watcheth for thee I will shortly pour out my fury upon thee and I will judge thee according to thy wayes and all thy abominations for violence is risen up among them into a Rod of wickedness The day of vengeance is near therefore let not the Buyer rejoyce nor the Seller mourn for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof neither shall any of them strengthen themselves in the iniquity of their

life for the Sword Famine and Pestilence shall devour them all hands shall become feeble horrour shall cover them their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them but it shall be given into the hands of the wicked for a spoil their souls shall not be satisfied nor their bowels filled therewith because it is the Stumbling-block of their iniquity O that they were wise to understand this that they would consider their latter end and the thing that maketh for their peace even the free administration of Justice Judgement and Mercy but now it is hid from their eyes For the Land is full of bloody crimes and the City is full of violence Destruction cometh rumour upon rumour the King shall mourn and the Princes shall be clothed with desolation and the hands of all the people of the Land shall be troubled yea they shall seek Peace and there shal be none SECT. II. O Thou Sword of the Lord how long will it be ere thou be quiet put up thy self into thy scabard rest and be still How can it be quiet seeing the Lord hath given it a arge and hath set his Face against us for evill and not for good because there is no Justice nor Mercy left in the Land a deceived heart hath drawn them aside and Covetousness which is Idolatry causeth them to sell the great and dreadfull Lord God of Justice and Mercy daily for the abominable price of Iniquity in all their Courts of Oppression falsly by them called Courts of Justice SECT. III. ANd because they are thus departed from the Lord the Lord is also departed from them and hath poured out the cup of his Fury even the spirit of division upon them and they shall drink and be moved and be mad because of the Sword which he will send among them for behold the Lord ha●h mingled a perverse spirit in the midst of us for thus saith the Lord Lo I bring or brought evill upon the City called by my Name and gave it the name JERU-SALEM and shall ye be unpunished Ye shall not be unpunished for I will call for a sword upon all the Inhabitants of the earth saith the Lord and will punish the Host of the high ones and of all the Kings of the earth for the Indignation of the Lord is upon all Nations and his fury upon all their Armies SECT. IV. ANd the Kings of the Iles yea all the Kings of the North farre and neer one with another shall drink the Wine of the wrath of God and be drunken and spue and fall and rise no more But the dregs of it shall all the wicked of the world drink for my hand and sword shall not spare them saith the Lord that shed Innocent blood in the earth for now are the Plagues upon the whole earth and ye shall not be delivered For the Crown of Pride Oppression and Drunkenness shall be troden under foot SECT. V. ANd the Kings Daughter of the South shall come to the King of the North whose Tabernacle is between two Seas that hath intelligence with them that forsake the holy Covenant and do wickedly and love a ly which is Idolatry but she shall not retain the power of the Arm nor stand on his side with them that brought her and strengthned her in these times neither shall he stand nor his Arm but he shall stumble and fall and not be found Also the robbers of the people shall exalt themselves but they shall fall but out of the branch of her root shall one stand up in his estate which shall come with an Army and shall enter into the Fortress of the King of the North and shall deal against them and shall pr●vail for the thing that hath been is that which shall be and that which hath been done is that which shall be done for there is no new thing under the Sun and there is a time and purpose to every thing under the Heavens for is there any thing whereof it may be said See this is n●w for it hath been already of old time before us and known unto God or determined are all his workes from or in the beginning Christ in whom all things were created and by whom all things were made SECT. VI FOr in the first two dayes or age of the world before the Law NIMROD was the mighty hunter or warriour and in the other two dayes or age of the world under the Law the Kings of Judah were the great hunters or warriours to the terrour of many Nations So in these two last dayes of the world under the Gospel have the Kings of England or Gentils land of Canaan f●owing with all good things been the great hunters or warriours to the terrour of many Nations farre and neer And as Pal●stina was divided into two Kingdoms and they at mortall warres for many yeares so is this Iland divided into two Kingdomes and have been at mortall wars together for many yeares SECT. VII ANd as Judah was brought under the Latine or Roman Yoke So hath England been brought under the N●rman or French Yoke And as the Kings of Judah were accounted Defenders of the Faith and Law of Gods Truth So are the Kings of England entituled by the Popes and Bishops yea accounted Defenders of the Faith and Gospel of Jesus Christ Yet have most of them been great Idolaters and Persecutors of the Truth and of all true Professors thereof as well as the Kings of Israel And no marvel for the Lord having shut up all in unbelief or mis-belief doth ●ift all Nations with the Sive of Vanity as he did his own People the Jews putting the hook of Error into their chaws causing them to err through and by the delusion of the Spirit of Error For a further proof of this Truth read Isa. 24. 5. Isa. 25. 7. and 30. 28. and 60. 2. Jer. 30. 23 24. Mic. 5. 3. SECT. VIII ANd as that Fox King Herod by his Flattery and for his cruel work of persecution against the Saints and Servants of Christ was by the two High Priests Elders Doctors Lawyers Scribes Pharisees Sadduces Libertines and all the common People Deified crying out it is the voice of God and not of man So Henry the eighth King of England and his Successors have been by their two Arch-Bishops Bishops Deans Doctors Ministers Judges Magistrates Lawyers and all the common people honoured with several Titles proper only to God alone in attributing to them the several Titles of Most Sacred Majesty Most High Most Mighty and Most Excellent Prince in all their Prayers in all their Petitions and by all other their frequent Addresses to them Which several Titles are truly and onely proper to the Prince of Peace being the Most Excellent Ma●esty of God the Father who only and alone is Most High Most Mighty Most Excellent and Most Sacred yea there is none good but one and that is God
