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
