Souls yea undoubtedly the toleration of many will prove in time the subversion of the one Orthodox Religion in that Church wherein it is granted I have onely one request before I leave this exhortation to you famous Citizens it will be a work well becomming your thankfull hearts and a part of answer to Davids question what shall I render that now while you are piously consulting to settle and advance the maintenance of your preaching Ministers you would take into your thoughts the erecting and endowing a Colledge or Society of able instructed Scribes who with their pens dipt in the Nectar of Sacred Writ may as with swords cut off all superstitious Idolatry and the head of that Hydra of Heresie which riseth up so fast in this declining age The Crocodiles about the Banks of Nilus if rub'd or but prickt with a Quill of Ibis are so stupified that they cannot stir and the pens of Orthodox Writers are the presentest remedy against the poyson of errours how might this prove as a Towre of David where the Horsmen of Israel might have Shields and Targets to fight the Lords Battails Secondly let it awaken us to a cautelous vigilancy we need not a Prophet to tell us what is spoken in the King of Syria his Bed-Chamber I meane the Popes conclave Remember the Powder-Plot Garnets aufer to Gentem perfidam and you may smell their intentions True it is that vault of darknesse was discovered but there is another vault of wickednesse in their hearts and one depth will call for another one fire kindle another and one like beget another Equo ne credite Teucri The Aspe lies in her hole and doth but waite for the warme Sunne The Gyant lurketh in his Den and watcheth but a fit season the devils Powder-Mils are still doing store of this Coyne is minted daily at Rome and new exploits forged on the Anvils of Jesuites Braines They had no small hand in our late sad divisions Oh let us never be too secure if we mean to be safe These Chamelaeons will take any colour these Proteus like will turn themselves into any shape Aske among their friends what a Jesuite is they will tell you every man and with their Father the Devill care not to transforme themselves into children of light and though ravenous wolves to appeare i● sheeps cloathing Oh let us never cry Peace whil'st our Enemies have their Bowes ready bent and Arrowes prepar'd to shoot at the upright in heart 3 Let it engage us to mutuall unity and now Oh that I had the Silver Oratory of Demosthenes or rather the Golden mouth of Chrysostome nay yet rather the heavenly tongue of Angels that I might charme you into a sweet harmony But what speak I of charming your eares unlesse God perswade your hearts Oh thou God of Peace work in us a love of Peace and then work for us the blessing of peace Consider I beseech you could not the wicked works of our Enemies hand be able to snare us and shall we snare our selves by our own works have not their swords been able to pierce us and shall we sheath our swords in each others bowels doe we this day rejoyce in their destruction and shall we give them cause one day to laugh at our divisions hath not Rome and all her confederates been able to blow us up and shall we undermine our selves shall England and Scotland doe that each against other which the Kingdoms round about could never yet accomplish Oh let it not be told in Gath and published in the Streets of Ascalon let it never cause a Festivall in Rome and holiday in Ireland that they shall heare the two Nations are tearing each other in pieces Let us remember whose part it is even the envious mans to sow the tares of dissention He endeavoured a rent between God and Job by that Calumny doth Job serve God for nought Nay to make a Schisme in that blessed unity betweene the Father and the Sonne by tempting CHRIST to goe beyond his Commission Oh let not us who call the Church our Mother have the Devill to be our Father I entreat I obtest I adjure by all the bands of union between us the oneness of that faith we live in King wee live under Covenant we are obliged to that we may be one for the confirming of this with our brethren and obtaining it among our selves Oh you who are the vigilant Governours and peaceable Inhabitants of this Metropolis let your purses freely contribute counsels maturely act Prayers to God humble Remonstrances and Petitions to man be still continued least otherwise if we should take up the sword againe to fight each with other we put such a sword into our Catholique common enemies as wil not easily be wrested out nay which is far worse a sword into the hands of our God to avenge the quarrell of his Covenant and we may justly fear God will say of such a crying iniqu●ty should it ever be acted which his mercy avert it is revealed in mine ears and it shall not be purged from us till we die 2 Let our meditation dwell on Gods worke and that so long till it have elevated us with a joyfull gratulation encouraged us to a confident expectation and strengthned us in earnest supplications 1 Let it elevate us with joyfull gratulat●on to that God who as on this day mercifully declared himselfe both a protector of Sion and a detectour of her enemies Indeed whom should we magnifie if not God and for what if not for this I may well use St. Austines words quisquis non videt caecus est qui videt non g●udet ingratus est he that beholds not Gods wonderfull both mercy and severity in this deliverance is grosly blind He that beholds and blesseth not is ungratefully dumbe Had this monster which was come to the birth bin brought forth this day would have bin Englands Vespers and Romes Mattens our Funerall their Festivall instead of this pure worship these blessed opportunites we now enjoy we might either have bin plung'd into grosse superstitions such as cringing to Crucifixes adoring Images turning over beads babling to Saints wandring in Pilgrimage or else have bin drag'd to a Rack or stake the proper Engines of that Romish Antichrist Oh! let the streames of our thankfull joy flow as high as our sorrowes had these things come to passe would have made them to ebbe Since we were not as on this day made oblatio matutina igne devorationis an early burnt offering to that Moloch of Rome let us make our selves oblationem matutinam igne devotionis a morning sacrifice by the fire of devotion to the God of Heaven and since that bitter Cup passed from us let us take the cup of salvation and praise the name of the Lord Nor let the Law of {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} here take place though it be {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} let
