and has thereby encourag'd us still to pray Strengthen O Lord that which thou hast wrought for us Clothe all his Enemies with Shame but upon himself let his Crown flourish 4. God's special Presence with and Protection of righteous and religious Princes calls upon us to bless God for the two great Deliverances of this Day An eminent Jesuit Campian by name long since declared in Print that their Society had made a Holy League and solemn Oath that as long as there were any of them alive they would destroy heretical Princes by all means possible and as for the English Nation they would procure and for ever pursue its Ruine and the utter Destruction of its Religion And to do them right hitherto they have made good their Oath how unwearied and restless have their Malice and Rage been against us The Royal Family of the Stuarts to begin no higher are indebted to them for many signal Kindnesses What strong Endeavours were made to keep King James the First from the Crown Garnet a Jesuit brought two Breves from Pope Clement the 8 th to exclude him commanding all Catholicks both Clergy and Laity not to suffer him or any other that was not a Catholick to succeed to the Crown Parsons another Jesuit under the Name of Doleman wrote against his Title and set up another that of the Infanta of Spain against his after a most rude and insolent manner blackning his Name and loading his Actions with the most spiteful Calumnies But when after all their Attempts they could not hinder him from coming in they resolv'd by dreadful blow of Gunpowder to rid themselves at once both of him and his whole Family A Villany so black and odious that the Papists themselves are ashamed to own it and would fain have it pass for a State-trick and a Plot of an Eminent Minister at that time against them But this was an invention of their own not thought of till long afterwards not in the least mentioned nor pleaded by any of the Conspirators in their defence But on the contrary 't was confess'd by the Traytors themselves justified by some of them own'd by Sir Everard Digby's Letters now made publick taken care of before-hand not to be discovered in Confessions The Success of it pray'd for under the name of a great Design in hand for the good of the Catholick Cause The disappointment of it sorely lamented but in all Probability had it succeded would have been welcom'd at Rome with as publick Festivals and Triumphs as the great Thuanus an Historian of their own informs us the Parisian-Massacre was wherein 30000 Protestants were slain in one Night But blessed be God who hath hitherto defeated the malicious Purposes of the inveterate Enemies of our Church and Nation that brought to light that Work of Hell and Darkness and hath preserved us in the Enjoyment of the Benefits of that great Deliverance to this Day In the Reign of King Charles the First they carried on the same Design They began with a Plot to murder the Archbishop and to take away the King's Life happily discovered by means of Andreas ab Habernfield What salvage and inhumane Cruelties they committed in Ireland I tremble to mention wherein a 100000 Protestants were barbarously murdered in cold Blood What hand they had in kindling and carrying on that cruel and unnatural War and in the execrable murder of that incomparable Prince how at their Consults they voted 't was for the Interest of Holy Church and how active and instrumental they were to promote the Councils that did it has been offer'd to be prov'd against them In King Charles the Second's time Into what innumerable Sects and Factions did they break us what fiery Strifes what implacable Animosities which God help us are burning to this very day did they blow up amongst them How dextrously did they manage the contending Parties encouraging now one and then the other till they had almost beat out one anothers Brains And then at last by plotting to take away the Life of that Prince who was now thought it seems to stand in their way and to give a Toleration to the Popish Party how advantagiously did they prepare the way for a total Extirpation as they call'd it of the Northern Heresy which they doubted not to effect under the Reign of a more resolute Prince that should more heartily and vigorously espouse their Cause And you all know how near they were to the accomplishing of it Good God! What a black and melancholy Prospect of things was then before us What a horrible Storm hung over our Heads threatning Ruin to every thing that was dear to us and to entail Slavery Ignorance and monstrous Errors even Transubstantiation it self upon our Posterity How were we daily threatned with an Army of Forreigners and those the most infamous for Blood and Cruelty and some of them actually brought in upon us But blessed be God who hath put an end to our Miseries and almost to our very Fears who put it into the Heart of the King to come in to our Succour and who made even the Winds and the Waves propitious to him and his glorious Enterprize Blessed be God who hath preserved him hitherto to settle and establish us in that Salvation which under God he hath wrought for us who suffered not the fatal Bullet that came so near him to do him Mischief nor the Swords of his Enemies that thirsted for his Blood to touch him who preserved him safe in the Crowds of his Enemies and in the midst of innumerable Dangers and after a signal and glorious Victory landed him safe again on our joyful Shoar Blessed be God who hath given him the Hearts of his Parliament and the Affections of his People Blessed be God for his Heroick Spirit of Wisdom and Magnanimity for his merciful Disposition for the Justice and Equity of his Government for his sincere Love to the Church for his unshaken Constancy to the Protestant Religion and Interest and for his Fatherly Care and Tenderness over all his Subjects May his Life be long and his Reign prosperous and may the English Nation under his Auspicious Conduct and Victorious Banners become a Terror to its Adversaries Deliverance to the Oppressed and as heretofore so for ever the Bulwark of the Protestant Religion To the only wise God our Saviour be all Praise and Glory both now and for evermore Amen FINIS Advertisement A Sermon Preach'd at the Assizes held at Northampton August the 26 th 1690.
