contained which I hope nothing there from is presented to the view of your eye but what the text will beare me out as that Eliah by the Court of equity was engaged to bring to light the Ishues of Ahabs unjust proceedings and that the more truth might be vindicated the Gentry with the Comonalty satisfied who was the troubler of Israel under the same ingagement by the same Covenant are Elias friends constrained to vindicate their call their Doctrine their Profession from any report or scandal imputed on them by Ahabs Kinsmen under what term soever that thereby it may appeare who halts betweene two opinions who are Newters who turnes with the times that so you may know who are the troublers of Israel Gentlemen this and onely this is my love to you yea my Petition for you that you may be a discerning people yea such a people that the Lord delights to enhabit with then will your Shire be a joy to England yea your Towne will be a terror to the Enemies round about you in that truth is stronger then Kings Truth will do as the Ark to the Philistines make them fear and tremble yea truth is so farr from troubling 1 Sam. 4. 4. 7. the Saints that it is their joy their peace their chifest treasure So that my conclusion is truth may be your Governor your Weapon your refuge your all in all that truth may preserve you from all your enemies that truth may support you in the greatest misery that truth may possesse you in everlasting peace So prayeth he that is Your Servant in the Truth LAW CLARKSON Truth released from Prison to its former Liberty 1 KINGS 18. 17. Art thou he that troubleth Israel DEare friends you have an inditement or accusation preferred into the Court of the living God The extent thereof lyeth in these words Art thou he which troubleth Israel The connexion of which is divided in accusatorem et reum That is the Plantiffe and Defendant so that the Court of equity doth produce an engagement in the hearts of all such that are in Covenant with Christ Iesus that are of the sworne Iury to give in our Testimony concerning the inditement In that we may Evangelically prosecute the truth of this information I shall enquire whether it be suppositive or Affirmative that so justice in all equity may passe sentence on both sides To that end peruse the Bill preferred by King Ahab and seriously take notice of the perticulars quoted in the Inditement which were that Eliah the defendant should prophesie bitter things that would befall the King and Kingdome of Israel saying Chap. 17 1. as the Lord God of Israel liveth before whom I stand there shall be neither dew nor rain but according to my word Secondly examine the Defendant what was the reason of this his Prophesie whether it were out of the envie of his Spirit or that it was the power of Iehovah commanding and carrying out his heart to deal plainly with the Plantiffe King Ahab For your satisfaction in this quaery I conceive the record will cleerly produce that Eliah had no envie against Ahab or his Kingdome but did by the teachings of God declare what the Lord had determined to do in that he prophesied in the name of the Lord of Hosts as is confirmed by the record where you have the Lord approbating his Prophesie in that Chap. 17. 7. there fell no rayne upon the earth c. Secondly this Message of the man of God was very important so as to requite King Ahab for his rebellion trouble of his poor Prophet by his grosse and wicked proceedings in contempt and provocation of the Lord of Hosts insomuch that he became the onely troubler of the Kingdome himselfe as the Defendant hath it clearly recorded saying I have not troubled Israel but thou and thy Fathers vers 18. house in that ye have forsaken the Commandements of the Lord c. Yet you have this wicked King Ahab with his wicked Priests and Courtiers accusing and attaching innocent Eliah to be a troubler of their State a disturber of their Peace a hinderer of their reformation when truly and really the Court of equity hath found the Plantiff guilty of that he accused the defendant of and that not onely suppositively but affirmatively saying I yea I a poore despised Prophet am not the troubler of Israel c. but thou yea thou King Ahab art he that troubleth Israel From whence observe this conclusion That the disobedient and troublers Doct. of Israel do first complaine that they are troubled Thus beloved when justice is permitted to have its Prerogative and when Partiality with respect of persons doth standat the doore then shall poor Eliah have as free permission to defend his cause as the King upon his Throne then shall truth be countenanced and an eror rejected not with this Prophet retire into the Wildernesse into Prison c. when erors lodge in the Kings Palace as is recorded of this Chap. 19. 4. Defendant he for the delivering of the Message of the God of Truth he for revealing the Kings pleasure was by a wicked King hunted and persecuted for a troubler of Israel c. so that from hence you may take notice of this proposition That a truth prophesied or preached Doct. by a poore Eliah a poore Saint is esteemed a trouble to the Nobility of Israel Thus beloved having set open the fountain and made way for the ligt of truth whereby we may with all brevity prosecute the precedent doctrines In which I shall by the assistance of God produce nothing to this auditory but what the subject I am now to treat upon will vindicate my innocensie in opposition to any malignant catching Spirits that may hereafter favour or lay to my charge any supposed error c. So that in all Christian love I intreat your Christian attention to that which God by mee shall be pleased to speak from this conclusion That the disobedient and troublers Doct. of Israel doe first complaine that they are troubled The truth of this will appeare in these two ensuing perticulars which are as followeth First who are the true Israel Secondly what will trouble this true Israel For your satisfacton in the first I shall produce you the originall and rise of Israel that so ye may take notice ABRAHAM was the first that was made choyse of to call his Gen. 2. 12. people in that he was commanded to leave his kindred to the end the Lord might blesse them that blessed him and curse them that cursed him he being the first called an Hebrew Gen. 14. 13. so that as yet Israel were not nor had not their title till JACOB was born ABRAHAMS Sons Son ISAACS Gen. 32. 28. Son so JACOB was first called JSRAEL this JACOB having 12. Sons which stock and Children were Exod. 1. 1. called JSRAEL a people by themselves persecuted of all nations beloved
