GREAT BRITTAINES RESVRrection Or the Parliaments passing Bell. BY VVAY OF PSALMODIE AGAINST the tryumphing of the Papists in their seuen Psalmes And in imitation of the song of the three Nobles of Israel deliuered out of the fierie Ouen of Babell By VVilliam Hubbard Chaplaine to the Kings Maiestie in his Highnes Tower of London Hos 14.10 Who is wise and he shall vnderstand these things and prudent and he shall know them for the waies of the Lord are righteous and the iust shall walk 〈◊〉 them but the wicked shall fall therein Seene and allowed AT LONDON Printed by T. C. for Arthur Iohnson and are to be sold at his shop in Pauls Churchyard at the signe of the white Horse 1606. To the right Worshipful Sir VVilliam VVaade Knight Lieutenant to his Maiestie in his Highnes Tower of London Grace and fauour with God and man be multiplied in Iesus Christ I H●●● made bold right Worshipfull to dedicate this Hymne and generall sacrifice of compunction and thanksgiuing to your name and memorie both as a tendering of my particular office to you and yours principally and because God hath made you so generall a man for the common good being so learned religious and habitually prudent from the chiefe schoole of high wisedome in our estate the bourd of his Maiesties most honourable priuie Counsell and a most sufficient seruant of King and Country in this place whereupon I begin to conceiue strong hope that the Lord hath sent you amongst vs not onely for these deare and present times of this new generation of gun powder men in this place in which your dexterity and seruice is apparant to all but to be valued of them who are able to giue it his due weight poise without diminishing any graine of such a mineral better then gold but for establishing also the Church and gouernment here vnto posterity which hath beene the sinne of omission in many before you and now needeth some Zerubabel or Nehemia a restorer after so many exigents as it hath beene driuen vnto in the ministeries of the same being driuen out of their possessions and olde indowments in the midst of gold and siluer Iewels and Plate as Tantalus in the miast of water wanting water where rather the support should be certaine and liberall for Gods honour and the Kings for the attendance of such an one as both may informe the officers and seruants there and inhabitants besides to the number welnigh of 400. communicants aggregated thither and escaping scot and lot else where who enioy all diuine rights for themselues and their families at the Ministers hands and as though their soules were worth nothing or free of heauen honour the Lord with no part of their substance and may at times also by moderate dropping of his words vpon the Prisoners rather then at or a little before their death for their error came not in a moment nor is Christian regeneration ripened but by degrees instruct the contrarie minded with patience as the ample saith trying whether God will giue them repentance at any time to know the truth that they may come to amendment out of the snare of the diuel of whom they are held to do his wil which place of scripture I confesse I haue long time much made of In which kind my poore labours haue not beene in vaine in the Lord both to the reclaiming of diuers and to the discouerie of matter beneficiall to the estate which I think some of their honors haue not forgot glorfied be the name of him that hath his chaire in heauen and teacheth the heart In all which ripe and sweet fruites of your faith that you may increase with the mighty increases of God my harty prayer is that so you may be eminent daily in this your whole so carefull a charge and employment in this royall Castle the key of the kingdome that you make that marble which you found brick that that which was planted with wilde figs you may establish with Cedars finally so to wade thorough this whole cumbersome vncertaine sea full of many new monsters as that you may haue an Oliue branch still in your hand with an vncorrupt mind lift vp your head to the head of all with holy ouation saying I haue run my full race I haue fought a good fight I haue kept my selfe in the faith and others Clavum et clipeū tenui Amen Your Worships in his best offices and seruices ●or the Church William Hubbard To the deuout and Christian Reader A Foundation and direction of expressing my thoughts by way of Psalme hath beene the Apostles holy canon and sanction Let the word of Christ dwelt in you plenteously in all wisedome teaching and admonishing your owne selues in Psalmes and Himnes and spirituall songs And I finde that our Lord and Maister Iesus Christ after he had kept his passeouer with his disciples and washed their feet after supper and instituted performed the sacrament in an excellent sermon or sermocination reaching from Iohn cha 13 31. thorough the whole 14.15.16 chapters with a prayer annexed containing the whole 17. chap. he thought not this heauenly feast and banquer sufficiently furnished vnlesse hee closed vp their spirituall stomack with a Psalme as some precious marm●let● For so saith the scripture When they had sung a Psalme they went out into the mount of Oliues A most Christian exercise and too much neglected among professours Others in great varietie of inuention in verse prose in Latine and English in sermon otherwise haue trauelled in this argument laudably and fruitfully some memorably euen by the voyce of a dolefull Pyramis demolished in Fraunce crauing restitution in noble great Brittaine yea the Theater and English Roscius himselfe hath pourtrayed this work of God and set it aloft tanquam in arce Phidiae as it were in the turret of the famous caruer Phidias to the view of all men But I tooke this course the rather because I obserue the friends of the Romish Pioners to haue had a secret seauenfold Psalmodie as a claudestinarie orison frō hand to hand in which they solace themselues with strange notes and tunes and ditties and hopes of newes as in an insolent Paean triumphing before hand for a Iubily golden day at hand I will set downe some of their words because the booke is not in manie hands And I by a good friend came by the most of it Of innocent King Edward thus they speake England ah vngratefull England forgat the liuing God and felt the curse of hauing a child to her King Of our late Queene of thrice blessed memory thus they seeme to say The nobility to their owne vtter extirpation shamefully forsooke their Bishops without assistance Of our noble Soueraigne they seeme thus Alas O Lord that thou hast suffered a parching winde to blow from the North Which made the boughes of thy planting to

imployments for so great an Armie who all are intended to keepe peace among Subiects among whom yet many it must needs be liue of the sinnes of the people as a cage is full of birds so are their chambers full of deceit Thereby they are become great and waxen rich they are waxen fat and shining and though they doe not iustly yet they prosper whose heate of contention to multiply strifes and Clyents pluralities and totquots of Cases and Causes that it seemeth to resemble the troublesome knots of the olde Popish school-men to make things more pletted perplexed and intricate and yet thereby they heape vp money and fees which deliuereth not in the day of wrath but inkindleth it rather now that you are all deliuered from destruction which was so neare vnto you also in the very tents and pitched fields of your variance and in that place that is witnesse of all your integritie whether you sought out the cause diligently as holy Iob did to buy the truth and sell it not or otherwise of your vntrustinesse wrest not the Law accustome not to speake against your conscience take heed it be not said of some of you as in another sense the Lawe is holy and iust and good but I am solde vnder sinne euen euery one that so often pleade at so many barres remember this great barre and tribunall seate to which you were to come not so prepared as else you would extoll this mightie GOD of your deliuerance let godlines bee your chiefest gaine and the right and peace your greatest ioy blesse you the Lord in all your takings and speakings endightings and counsailings complainings and defendings praise him and magnifie him for euer O You Gentrie and Yeomanrie the frie of this Nation and seede of succeeding ages ye Students at the Lawe and other nouices and punies vnder your graund Benchers and most graue Seniours that assemble to heare and obserue the experience and maturitie of the auncient and to furnish your selues for future time who had like to haue beene oppressed in your minorities and in the very great hall and common schoole of your practise and at the feet of them that teach you but that the Lord protested for sinfull England as for great Niniuie to saue sixe score thousand aliue that knew not the right hand from the left to preserue you as a cluster of Grapes hopefull of wine of which one saith destroy it not there is a blessing in it Doe you therfore laud this Lord who is your God from your youth and let him be your God vnto your age blesse you the Lord praise him and magnifie him for euer O Ye Sutors and Clients and Sollicitors of the Law who are enraged in stomack and disquietnes in reuenge and couetousnes to eate vp one another and trauaile farre and oft to consume your times and families and blow the coales of Iuniper vpon one another facing and defacing your selues mutually to maintaine these fires behold the day of the Lord vpon you like Plaintife like Defendant like giuer like taker like Clients like pleader one Beasom of destruction to sweepe away all that hunt their brethren with a net and lay snares to catch men but that God is more patient to vs all then we are to one another who did suddainly blow the retreate from this great slaughter else a man of you had not beene left aliue therefore feare this Lord the God of peace and loue and comfort let your placabilitie bee knowne vnto all men the Lord is at hand blesse thou the Lord praise him and magnifie him for euer O Ye seruants and followers of the Nobles and Gentrie and others in this great assemblie of Parliament and full Terme Consider your seruice to almightie God what it hath beene heeretofore and your faithfulnes to men let it not be in eye seruice but in singlenes of heart you are bought with a price hereafter be seruants not onely of men but of this God who hath deliuered you from this common lot of miserie blesse I say and curse not deliuer your selues from the common condemnation fashion not your selues according to the world in the prophanenes of too many Seruitors mispending time and life forgetting God and religion remember the iudgement of olde not a seruant of Noah or Lot saued in the watrish and fierie destruction of their times and yet you preserued at this time therfore blesse you the Lord your preseruer praise him and magnifie him for euer O You inhabitants and soiourners in the auncient Citie of Westminster with all the confines and skirts of the liberties thereof or in any reach whether this whirlewinde of Gods wrath should haue reached by land or by water Behold you also were the children of death and your houses appointed to desolation as the houses of Iobs children by a strong winde on a suddaine euen peraduenture whilst you were eating and drinking taking money therefore rise vp in your degrees and worship as the Israelites euery man at his tent doore blesse you also the Lord praise him and magnifie him for euer O All you open and secret Papists and Catholicks for so you will be called that were to bee assembled in and neare the Parliament whose heads and bodies if they had beene gathered together vpon this massacre and laid on heapes as all the seuentie sonnes of Achab at the Court gates of King Iehu it was cleare who had done it Dauid and his Kingdome had beene guiltlesse before the Lord for euer your brethren and fellowes had done it acknowledge them the schollers of Pope Hildebrand who when Henry the third the Emperour vsed to pray in S. Maries Church in mount Auentine hired one to lay great stones on the beames to let them fall on the Emperours head which he hasting to accomplish a huge stone drew him downe and crusht himselfe to pieces They also would haue caused you to haue passed through the fire as a sacrifice to Moloch and haue vsed you as Moabites They would haue made you their martyrs before your time you should haue beene lickt vp in the common flame Come you therefore out of Babylon Loe how shee rewardeth her children like the harlot mother who in Salomons dayes ouer-laid her owne child to death and yet would haue the liue children of the true and naturall mother in her keeping Touch no vncleane thing doe you trie the spirits heereby and iudge them to be rauening Woolfes know them by these ripe fruites of red and scarlet sinnes of horrible and vnnaturall and vniuersall murther and ioyne with vs now at last in the sincere profession of Gods word alone which God hath defended in your eyes and experience so oft of olde and now freshly do you nowe come out of the fire with feare and make a perfect vowe as Naaman to offer to no other God and to blesse the Lord God

in our land to build their Babell with Babilon I say meant to make that worthie house as the mountaine set on fire and tumbled into the sea like an Ae●●a spit-fire flaming gobbets of fire vpon her owne friends and children to make it as a pot as Ezechiel speaketh hauing cut you as flesh to the pot to seeth euery good morsell therein to make that reuerend place a very shambles hauing got as Herod all the nobles of Iurie into one Amphetheater to runne and streame with the finest purest blood to make it as a melting house as the same Prophet threatneth to new found our Church and Common-wealth to make our Princes and noble-men of Sion who weare fine gold to be esteemed as earthen potshards the founder and mettal men of Rome esteemed you all no better then lead yron brasse and put you all in one furnace ye the Lord himselfe seemed to haue barrelled vp wrath against you as they had barrelled pouder as though hee had directed them to begin at no place but there first as he said once begin at my sanctuarie and at my auncient men which were before the house so heere begin at my parliament as though the Lord meant to make that graue place like Kibrah-Hattanah the graues of lust that whilst the word was yet in your mouthes the wrath of God to come vpon them to slay the strongest of them to smite downe the chosen men in Israel as though the Lord had appointed a sacrifice in the place and a great slaughter as in Bozra of olde the earth to be drunken with blood and the dust to be made fat euen a sacrifice vpon the mountaines of Israel with many dishes of the blood of the valiant and blood of the great ones like the Lords great supper in the Reuelation for all the birds to come vnto it but the Lord hath spared his owne people and poured out the blood of our enemies and lifted vp their carcasses for euery bird to peck on and behold you all are as a brand not touched by the fire He threatned to take vp huge and mighty stones but would not let one of them be cast at you he laid fewell but would not let it kindle He filled the pot but would not let it seethe nor any morsell be diuided to put within it He brought the sacrifice to the hornes of the altar but would not slay it but gaue your enemies into your hand And in the same place diuided their heads and quarters where they meant to haue rend in pieces yours GOD hath scattered the bones of them that besieged thee he hath slaine Orob and Zeb in their owne rocke and wine presse and heerein is the Scripture fulfilled I will make thy enemies come to worship before thee and they shall knowe that I loue thee take full warning at such a caueat as one body why the Lord seemed to come to your pauilion and why hee knocked at your doore And in particular let euery soule among you looke to the reckoning that GOD hath with you cast about as Dauid with Nathan concerning the temple And at another time in the imperiall assembly for reducing the Arke when something had beene forgotten before followe on and proceede with the Lord that they may be Prophets against themselues God and man by your concurrence to punish the wickednes of this time and what wickednes hath any age or chronicle obserued greater that they may receiue a blow in parliament in deed and yet no stirring afore hand on our part and that they may see none hurt them but themselues Consider that these are nōt olde outworne and ouergrowne Papists but bred in our time vnder our improuidence God impute it not vnto vs take full order that Iesabel be permitted to teach and seduce no more deale faithfully betweene GOD and his people least a worse thing come vnto vs behold God prouoketh you on paine of your liues the Countrie reposeth trust in you the Churches depend on you and the eyes of all the world are vpon you to see the fruite of your wisedom in thorough orders for your owne safeties Gods glory else we shall be as a reproach among all nations and as a ship of fooles in a calme sea and sound barke and no enemie to boord vs to miscarie in the hauen by not prouiding for a tempest aforehand with this inscription ouer vs Thy destruction is of thy selfe O England Be this spoken to no dishonour of so graue a Senate that hath made so worthie proceedings alreadie but to stirre vp all to pray that God may enspire effectually that neither friend may misse any comfort nor enemie haue hope or cause to ioy Surely GOD that offered to make a great nation of one Moses is able to raise vp parliament men of stones and indeed did not the beames and timber and stones of the parliament threaten wrath Seeke therefore the Lord with a perfect hart set vp a Pyramis to thy God and a pillar of memorie as Abraham did That God hath been seene on your mount erect a new monument where they would haue destroyed all the olde monuments as Nebuchadnezar make and publish generall decrees make the signes knowne abroade that the high God hath done vnto thee that there is no other God that can deliuer ye as our God as the dedication of a speciall holy day for this purpose declareth already haue warre with Amalech for euer remember the Lords charge forget not forget not And as another scripture directeth Reward Babylon double into her bosome remember him that saith Take vs the little Foxes And againe Blessed shall hee be that taketh the children of Babylon and dasheth them against the stones take order that all flesh in all our dominions by the preaching of his word may see the saluation of this God that children vnborne may seeke the God of their Fathers and all of vs in your behalfes for so wise zealous and prouident Counsell as the oracle of God may blesse the Lord God praise him and magnifie him for euer O Thou whole Kingdome of England thou carelesse daughter that liuedst at ease and dwelt in securitie as Laish nowe this eight and forty yeares when thou saidest within thy selfe Peace peace strength strength amitie amitie vnitie vnity lenity lenity Loe a snare as suddaine as the trauell of a woman the Lord came against thee the true God stole vpon thee as a thiefe losse of children and widowhood should haue come vpon thee in one day the portiō of Babel in her perfection the morning thereof thou shouldest not haue knowne thou wast as neere to hauock as thy sister of France on the other side of the water vpon whom came an inundation of blood as it were to the horses bridles to destroy an hundreth thousand at one time the walls and roofe
