I doe appoint Stephen Bowtell to Print my Sermon STEPHEN MARSHALL To the Honourable THE House of Commons Assembled in PARLIAMENT IN obedience to your commands I here humbly present to publique view what you were pleased with ready affections lately to attend unto In it is cleared how vain the attempts of all men are against the people and Cause of God and these seasonable Mercies and Deliverances may help to confirm us in waiting for the full accomplishment of all these promises I confesse for our unworthy walking and little improving many like Mercies we continue still in a low condition and lye under many heavie pressures our times are like that day in Zach. 14. Neither clear nor dark not day nor night we are cast down but not forsaken of our God no not though our land be filled with sin against the holy One of Israel God sill appears in the mount of our difficulties Methinks this his gracious dealing shews how willing he is yet to heal our backslidings to take away our iniquities to doe us good and to preserve and establish us a people to himself O! that God would now in the end teach this Nation to leave struggling one against another for a curse and all to joyn together to wrastle with him for a blessing and seek him in his own Gospel-way O! that God would perswade such of this Nation who are engaged against the cause of God to leave plotting and contriving of Designes which shall not prosper and in stead thereof joyn hands with those who desire to see the prosperity of Zion And that all who are engaged in this Cause of God would labour to manage it in Gods own way That they would remember their Covenant what they have sworn and promised and by his grace study to make it good how abundantly should we finde the fruits of his loving kindnesses showred down upon us That this may be the study and endeavour of you all who represent the whole Commonalty of this Nation is the humble and earnest prayer of Your humble Servant in Christ STEPH●N MARSHALL A SERMON PREACHED Before the Honourable House of Commons at their Publick Thanksgiving May 17. 1648. Isaiah 8. 9 10. Associate your selves O ye people and ye shall be broken in pieces and give eare all ye of far Countries gird yourselves and ye shall be broken in pieces gird your selves and ye shall be broken in pieces take counsell together and it shall come to nought speak the word and it shall not stand for God is with us THis Chapter doth containe a threatning of two judgements One against the Kingdomes of Syria and the Kingdome of Israel or the ten Tribes that is in the foure first Verses and the summe of it is this The Prophet had a young son the Lord bids him at the Circumcision of his son name him Maher-shalal-hash-baz which signifies Make haste to the spoil make haste to the prey and the Lord gives the reason of it because before that child should bee able to call my Father my Mother before hee should bee able to say Dad or Mam The riches of Damascus and the spoile of Samaria shall bee taken away before the King of Assyria and it came to passe accordingly for this Prophesie was about the third yeer of King Ahaz and in the fourth yeer which was the yeer after a great part of Israel was plunder'd and spoiled and the Kingdome of Syria was wholly broken The second part of the chapter begins at the fifth verse and that containes a threatning of judgment against the Kingdome of Iudah and in it there are foure things remarkable First Here is the cause of this terrible judgement that God would bring upon the Kingdome of Iudah Secondly Here is laid down the judgement it self what it should be Thirdly Here is contained the deliverance of Gods people from the judgement and Fourthly Here is laid down the uses that God would have made of all this The cause of the judgement you have laid down in the sixt verse Forasmuch saith hee as this people refuseth or slights the waters of Shiloah which run slowly and rejoyce in Rezin and Remaliahs son because of this that is in one word because of their infidelity because they did not rest upon the Gospell promises made them in Immanuel that salvation which hee had promised to come from the house of David but slighted it because the house of David was now low and their neighbour Kingdomes of Syria and Israel were more pompous and stately then Davids throne therefore they regarded not the promises made to it but would bee glad to bee like those Kingdomes who overtopt them and to this end they made a confederacy with the King of Assyria that they might bee the better able to cope with Rezin the King of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah the King of Israel this the Prophet signifies in the words of refusing the waters of Shiloah that run softly and rejoycing in Rezin and Remaliahs son Shiloah was a little River which arose at the foot of Mount Sion whence ran slowly and in a crooked channell which some thinkes it 's called the Dragons Well Nehem. 2. 13. and this smooth stream was conveyed in some subterranean channells into that pool mentioned Iohn 9. 7. and was thence by pipes conveyed into the Kings Gardens and Orchards and was of use to the whole City yea and Temple of Ierusalem The same River of Shiloah is that which the Prophet mentions Psalm 46. There is a River the streames whereof make glad the City of God the holy place of the Tabernacle of the most High By
