HVLS PILLAR OF Providence erected OR The Providentiall Columne setting out Heavens care for Deliverance of that people with extraordinary Power and Providence from the bloud-sucking Cavaliers who had for six weeks closely besieged them By T. C. Minister of Gods Word ISAIAH 26.1 In that day shall this Song be sung in the Land of Judah we have astrong Citie Salvation shall God appoint for wals and bulwarks ZECH. 3.2 Is not this a brand pluck'd out of the fire Imprimatur CHARLES HERLE LONDON Printed for Ralph Rounthwait 1644. To the Reader BVt where are the nine saith Christ The Lord longs much to see us after he hath freed us in our distresse we long for deliverance and being delivered he longs for acknowledgement Deborah after her victorie awakened her selfe with so loud an instigation on purpose to awaken others That she might not returne with the leprous Samaritan alone in her acknowledgment Thus this holy-man Gods faithfull Minister and our deare brother an eye-witnesse to the great and wonderfull worke done by our God for that beleagured Towne the deliverance a mercy he had a share in and thousands and our selves It was the place of refuge to many persecuted and plundered Families and to ours and his here were met in one from the two spoiled Counties of Yorke and Lincolne of all sorts a great multitude Here we comfortably enjoyed our peace here publikely and privately we jointly sought it's peace of the fruit whereof it is now a partaker from the God of peace And therfore in all places and ages that it may be said for Hull what God hath done as we can do no more so no lesse then clap our hands and being of the number of the Lords redeemed ones cry out and say God hath done great things for us whereof we are glad And O let all places be filled with the same glorie Tho Micclethwait Philip Nye Th Coleman To the Lords dispersed and scattered ones beloved of the Father in the Sonne gathered together from divers Quarters and Countries into Hull the Nest of Gods providence Grace Divine and greeting Christian TO you beloved the faire and strong hand of heaven hath bin fully manifested at first plucking you as a brand out of the fire of the enemies fury that watched for you where you lived and now again the same hand of heaven hath visited you with new favour putting the proud adversarie by and cutting his combe when he was ready to chop you for the pot in the place where you sojourned Remember now Salomons Scripture The Lord was angry with him because his heart was turned from the Lord God of Israel which had appeared unto him twice He has twice appeared marvellous in mercie to you and look'd upon you as no stranger in the place where you were strangers Remember the day wherin these thoughts tooke you up continually what shall we doe whither shall we goe what way shall we flie what course shall we take that may be pleasing to God safe for us And now let me tell you whither you shall flie even unto the Lord with thankfull hearts who hath so wonderfully magnified his favour towards you I have seene a failing in the Towne hitherto as secure as if never in danger as proud as if no matter of humbling as prophane as if great deliverances did not bring great engagements to holinesse as unthankefull as if not beholding to God as superstitious as if the master of Ceremonies and not the Father of mercies had saved them But doe not you faile too let the Towne be beholding to you for your prayers and your praises be you their Masons to helpe to make up the breaches of their walls their country husbands to amend their hedges and make up gappes where Gods wrath might breake-in The Lord give you patient hearts in these oppressing times and hard charges and abundance of thankfulnesse to Jehovah Nissi the Lord your Banner that both you and the Church of God may be cloathed with the garments of salvation Divinae Providentiae Sacrum THat Indian Hand had some reason it seemes which put upon it that name of the I le of Providence the speciall hand of heaven ruling and leading the searching adventurers to this place and bringing them through long labours and hard indeavours to pitch and plant on that ground And before I have done with this narrative and discourse I shall make it good that there is ground for the naming of this Kingston or Hull A Town of Providence Where as on a Stage of Mercy Divine Providence has of late acted parts of love care power kindnesse gloriously before and for unworthie both Spectators and receivers The Lord hath so done his marvellous workes that they ought to bee had in remembrance of all them that feare him If any be such a stranger in Ierusalem as has not heard nor knowne the things that are come to passe in these dayes I will informe him to quicken my selfe and others to gratefullnesse how the Lord has heated the furnace of his love and care for Hull seven times hotter then he has done for any towne in England And gladly would I have the Land to take notice of it because though the Sun rise in one corner of the Heavens the East yet the light heat and influence of the Sun fills the whole Earth and cherishes every creature So though the best part of the Kernell of this deliverance falls particularly into Hulls mouth and the people there both in-dwellers and the Lords sojourners yet doubtles it sends much good influence reviving beams into the Gospells cause now quarrelled for into the Church into this Kingdome into the Parliament into the armies on foote for the rescuing of our Realme from the pawes of the Lyon and the beare the Churches Lyon that would oppresse it with Antichristianisme and popish prelacy and the Common wealths savage Beare that would devoure Truth justice and righteousnesse and leave neither law nor liberty nor rights for the Subject but what must come out of the bosome of licentious Atheisme where will and power shall create Magistracy and the acts of it Now that the Lord hath banished such bloudie and cruell Gaolers which laid upon all that came under their power iron yoakes and fetters how can we doe lesse then seeke out the authour of this deliverance and give him the cordiall and reall acknowledgements of thankefull spirits which either speaking writing or printing may make knowne to our little world of England least the glory of God which of all other things should never know a funerall and be buried in oblivion be any way obscured or ecclipsed And surely if we enquire after the father and mother and nurse of this amiable and comfortable child of salvation which we can never looke in the face but it makes us smile with joy we can finde none to owne it but only Providence divine which has done all This hath been so clearly and manifestly stirring from the Alpha
