sons death 1 Sam. 28. 15 19. here we see what power self-interest hath ever good men therefore he that can deny himself is higher then an Angel for Lucifer fell through Ambition and that a Witch had power to raise Samuel is a great dishonour to him a terrour to me and showeth that self-interest is to be abhorred Eli was free from it for he submited to the sentence of God when it put a period to his time of prosperity 1 Tam 3. 18. And I will now speak touching English men there is a Book come forth intituled The Lord General Fleetwood's Answer to the Humble Representation of Col. Morley and some other late Officers of the Army If he wrote it he is a self-denying man indeed and sheweth in that book the only way for Englands happiness he that observes the series of Gods providence may be assured that this Stump-Parliament which was just seven years under the band of Ironsword and brass-Canon that is from April 22. 1652. to April 22 1659. I say we may be assured that this Parliament will grow to be full consisting of KING Lords and Commons as it was at first and then more excellent Glory shall be added to it by their setting up of Christ's Kingdom For surely the Lord's Decree shall stand let self-interest-men doe what they can God and the people shall bring it to passe for Nebuchadnezzar's Vision shall be fulfilled again Dan. ● for he was but a type of King CHARLS and this Parliament promised him according to Dan. 4. 36. that they should add to his Majesties glory and so they shall keep their promise and oaths made to him God will have the first Oath performed Rev. 2. 4. later oaths for self-interest shall not prevail against it 3 therefore I say to your Lordship and to the Parliament Remember your Vows to be true to the KING 1 Esdras 4. 43. Pay your Vows Ecclesiast 5. 4. I looked upon your going to Scotland as a mighty providence for the welfare of the Nations and indeed the fulfilling of what I said should come to pass in that time for God worketh by hid wisedom so that men cannot see it when it is done no nor for a long time after but when there eyes are opened by a more shining of the work then shall they see in what time it was done My Lord the people came before you they dare not speak out as yet they have been so Curbd but you may know their mind by their miseries I beseech you pitty them that their souls may blesse you Else England will be distroyed for some old Prophesies saith that if England loose its opportunity it shall be invaded with three mighty Armies raised and supplyed by all Christendome one shall appear in the south with the Queen and a great favourite of our Army another in the North under the King and Duke of York the third in Ireland under Henry Duke of Gloucester and before these three Armies meet English men will be so few that the Daughter shall say to the Mother O Mother I have seen a man to day and London with all the Towns in England will be destroyed therefore I say again pitty poor England that God may blesse you the more Oh pitty poor decayed men that are daily cast into prisons for debs by their cruel Creditors where they are speyled being unable to pay or live there the Parliament were about to take some course to help them before now Oh move them to do it speedily you will have the prayers of many poor distressed souls which in the day of battail will be a greater defence for you then your Army David Psal. 41. 1. 2. So wishing your excellency all happinesse I hoping to be in your Lordships Judgement a faithful Servant to the Publick And your Lordships servant in particular ARISE EVANS From the Kings Play-House in Black-Fryers London Jan 30. 1659. Gentlemen MY last Book printed May 1659. sheweth you the Kingdom of Christ in part but now through Christ's assistance I shall shew you further and to give you a hint of what is contained in the said book called A Rule from Heaven First Ye have page 1. to pag. 26. the Introduction wherein is shewed the Descent of our Nation the noble Actions of our Predecessors with their Sufferings at several times for their sin and a view of our ancient Prophesies that foretels the trouble and sufferings of our KING Nobles and Royal party with a promise of great Glory to them at last and an Assurance of peace for Ever Secondly From page 26. to pag. 45. ye have the Kingdom of Christ shewed though indeed not so fully and so clear as I had done if time had permitted for when the combustion was among us by the Armies throwing down one Government to set up another it was in my mind suddenly afore they run into errour and to prevent it to shew them a better Government then they knew before even a Government of Christ's own Institution and therefore I hastned and was brief having not time enough to clear the matter Thirdly Page 45. Ye have a threatning of our Army if that they would not suddenly stand up for this Good Old Cause namely the Kingdom of Christ and set it up else as stout as they were they should fall and come to nothing and their Parliament you know sought divers wayes their ruine since that time and they have been divided so that now they had need look upon my words lest they repent too late as their Parliament did once yea twice now and knew not how to help it Fourthly page 46. and page 47. Ye have a speech to the Long Parliament to tell them that notwithstanding their endeavour to set up themselves their General should dissolve them and I bad them beware of Jehu for so I called him and though they us'd all their craft against him yet I said he should prevail and I told them that the Army had a Design they knew not of and shewed them that they had no way to make themselves happy but speedily while they had time to make their peace with CHARLS STUART and I gave them a Vision I had 1634. to assure them if they sought it they might have had peace as you see all along if you read to the end of the said book I say you may discern if you read from page 46. to page 60. of that book how far those words of my penning have been fulfilled upon the Army and Parliament Thus ye have the Contents of the said book Now it is true that it displeaseth some of the Kings party the reason is because they did not fully understand it and it is left dark in some points because I had not time to open it 〈◊〉 cannot abide to hear of any to be in power above 〈◊〉 KING It is true there is none above the KIN● namely Charles the First We read that Israel had two Kings at one time and
