is a spacious argument vrge that and walke in that and forbeare other impertinents See you not that the resolution of our state hateth Antichrist with a perfect hatred this 48. yeares and is therfore hated vnreconcilably as beeing in it selfe the most Euangelical monarchie in the world and a sanctuarie of refuge for all the professours in the earth vnder her shadowe let this whet your courages and set an edge on your zeale and teach you spirituall discretion to goe with one shoulder to ruinate Babel and not be diuided in your selues in your seuerall stations Cursed be he that doth the worke of the Lord negligently Let your voices and spirits declare in all the congregations that the Lord himselfe is a Champion for the house of Aaron a defender of the tribe of Leui and that he holdeth all the starres of all our Churches in his owne righthand and that his mercie to that function endureth for euer Celebrate you the Lord of the haruest so benigne and gratious vnto you and remember him that said Occupie till I come and so much the more because the enemie is so busie Let the house of Aaron then and all the tribe of Leni blesse this Lord their speciall Lord and Maister and patrone praise him and magnifie him for euer O All ye louers of the Gospell and faithfull professours of Christs holy religion in this Kingdome who next after magistracie and ministerie were most hated noted and obserued and appointed to cruel butcherie massacre your families to be singled out to pillage dishonour of whichsome of thē peraduenture they had surueyed taking notice of their number strength and to haue been sacrificed not as Isaac also but as Abraham also euen the father and children and the very seruants at the foot of the hill how would not Rome haue bragged ouer you as a Lady and Conqueresse who shall not feare the beast and worship his image or take his marke in his forehead or right hand But the Lord caused the knife to stay that was so neare the throat and made the Ramme that pushed at you to be taken in the thicket of his owne deuises and to be a ransome for the innocent Lambs of his flock be wise hereafter as serpents thinke not they haue done Beware the dogge that barketh not who said they shall not know nor see vntil we come into the midst of them and slay them doe you blesse and honour this God of your life and beliefe adorne his glorious Gospel in your selues and families so much the more praise him and magnifie him for euer O Ye wealthie fat ones of the world who haue gathered siluer as dust and gold as stones that haue grace and place fauours and honours aboue others Mannors and demeanes and children and call the lands and houses by your names that haue ships and shops and store-houses and ware-houses and wealth laide vp for many yeares Loe in one moment your soule gone whose should all these haue beene how quickly should all haue been turned returned and ouerturned in an houre therefore let thi teach you not to trust in vncertaine riches but in the liuing God to treasure vp religion not pelfe to confesse all to bee transitorie learne hence the contempt of the world and to be prouided that the day of the Lord come not as a snare vpon you make friends of vnrighteous Ma●●●● in this life that you may be receiued into better tabernacles yeeld it to be true the world passeth and the iolity thereof and all flesh is grasse and all the glory thereof is as the flower of the field onely the word of God and them that are begotten by it abide for euer doe you therefore hee reafter in all your graces and places countenance maintenance wealth and store for this so great patience towards you blesse this Lord praise him and magnifie him for euer O Yee that take pleasure in pleasure though to Gods displeasure and in your owne voluptuousnes in drinking away the health of body and soule in gaine stealth and robberie in ambition iniustice oppression or any other wickednes and all the impenitent learne a parable of the figge tree you that write or speake parables let them take one from our Parliament and state therefore if it bee so much pleasure and honour to take pleasure to bee ioyned in affection with the creature know is farre greater honour and pleasure for the creature to bee ioyned with the Creator who is blesse for euer Learne in all your pleasures and contentments to remember this Lord who speaketh suddainly of a parliament a kingdome a nation a citie a towne a family a man a woman to pluck vp to roote out to destroy as suddainly as the Potter dasheth in pieces a vessell of clay despise not counsell refuse not instruction neglect not the riches of Gods bountifulnes and long suffering which loueth not to take you tardie and at aduantage to vndoe you in the Act of your sinnes but leadeth you to repentance harden not therefore your hearts nor heape not vp wrath against the day of wrath and the declaration of the iust iudgement of God who wil reward euery one according to his works put not off from day to day for you know not how nor when nor by what meanes he commeth and when he commeth hee commeth as a whirle-winde and laugheth at the destruction of the vngodly Be sober therefore and watch blesse you the Lord praise him and magnifie him for euer O Yee desperate refractarie malecontents and irreligious Atheists that looked for a troublous time to fish in as in middle waters for a mist and smoakie time to goe vnespied as false thieues being readie and yawning to make hast to the pray Loe the pray is pluckt out of your teeth know that there is a God that iudgeth the earth and hath meanes to deliuer his from temptation in the very flames as he did Lot in Sodome that the wicked shall not haue their wills on them nor one of their bones be broken and that the stones are at league with them but vpon the vngodly he raigneth snares fire and brimstone stormes and tempests as thick as haile this shal be their portion euen hence learne to bende your selues to some lawfull calling and be content with your estate and thereby to blesse the Lord praise him and magnifie him for euer O You hard hearted Papists and indurate hypocrites whose consciences are seated with hote irons to make the commandement of God of none effect whereas hee strictly forbad murther to establish your owne traditions which you call the catholike religion you spare no blood where are your brags of ●8 of the late Queenes death of happy memorie and of this infernall tragedie where are your hallowed altars to be erected in Paules the threatnings against our bibles promising of

fire heat winter sommer dewes and frosts yce snow and knock at the dore of euery creature in the earth mountaines green things wells seas floods whales fowles beasts particularly summoning men more particularly Israel among them the Lords Priests and seruants the soules of the righteous and humble men that walke with God and indure any thing or euery thing for him and by name they call vpon themselues As though all the creatures were obtested to helpe them to praise God to acknowledge this Creator and preseruer of them and that they who had the chiefe deliuerance though men of care knowledge and vnderstanding in all learning and wisedome yet were vnsufficient without worlds of helpe Therefore as God presented all the creatures before Adam their Lord owner vnder God and at another time all the creatures of the earth before Noah their preseruer vnder the same God And as Landlords haue their tennants to shew their poll and to pay head siluer to their Lords in their Courts yearely And as sea-men scaping shipwrack offer vowes and hang vp tables of deliuerance so haue I endeuoured by these holy examples and the like to present in all humble duty all degrees and estates before this Lord their preseruer with crownes of saluation on their heads palmes of victorie in their hands Psalmes of thanksgiuing in their mouthes For when the funerall men of Rome tolled our last knel among thēselues so certainly that they thought all the Physitions of great Brittaine could doe her no good and that God himselfe had forsaken her saying now the Protestant shall die his name perish did not the Lord of life cause the bel to stay on a suddaine and hath hee not spirited her againe with a fresh life and made her the daughter of a ioyfull resurrection As it is said of Isaac that Abraham after a sort receiued him frō the dead when he was so neare vnto death and yet deliuered My meaning was to stirre vp all our spirits mine owne and others and to keepe vs somewhat waking least security the bane of all should creepe in For if right vse be made of this what doth let but we may write Aeterna Britannia magna wherein no doubt a princely and honourable monument from this Senate in a festiuitie ordained for euer to be kept which shall be like a marble piller with a real and compendious inscription of the matter and occasion ingrauen walled about and a keeper of it as of other monuments for all to visite to Gods glory and increase of our faith and repentance shal reuiue our anniuersarie thankfulnes to all posteritie And me thinkes I obserue a new edge vpon many louers of religion since when they see God hath so prouoked them by a foolish and idolatrous people desperately zealous for the setting of Dagon that thereby with greater inflamed hearts the friends of Sion labour to resetle the arke of God vpon our center for euer In which for my part I cannot but praise God for the feruour and ardent spirit of the most honorable and zealous lower house like the spirit of famous Martin Luther and a fierie conglobation in their holy and deuout dispositions in many notable propositions and yet also giue God most hartie thanks for the graue moderate and mature considerations of the most honourable high part of the vpper house as the sage spirit of melancthon and a refrigeratiue constellation whose operations and influences shal by Gods grace haue heauenly and mighty effects very beneficiall to the publike good in due time and their sweet aspect and louing respect vnto one another and to the whole by their happy and peaceable coniunction shall profit vpon further occasions that which is behind of their faith wisedome and zeale which shall be the better effected if we could all goe one way For I perceiue in many cases as the Lamprey and serpent ingender so some professors so named for I except the graue humble modest and fatherly whom I know many and the Papist with diuerse ends ioyne to debase him that without respect of factions in his honest simplicity and plainenes opposeth himselfe to two extremes Great was the light of wisedome that shined in the Gentiles He that wil preserue truth must not only confute other mens opinions but his own And would to God al sides could learne of the fountaine of wisedom not to do any thing for displeasure against any supposed tares as to pluck vp wheat and all sides so to denie themselues and their own name that we might thinke it no disgrace but good deuotion to say in a common voyce Thy name be sanctified O Lord whatsoeuer become of our name And heere I most humbly desire as in this last passage so in the whole processe the friendly christian and charitable construction indulgence of all men wherin any thing by omission or addition is mistaken which in such variety of degrees to sort euery one with their proper attributes and offices is easie for a contemplatiue man labouring according to this place my function to be a remembrancer among many knowing that as in a race though men runne swiftly of themselues yet the clapping of hands of other obseruers of them that blowe the trumpets addeth a new courage and vigour to them The sum of my desire is that all our people of great Brittaine hereafter may be like one flocke of sheepe as the holy Ghost speaketh as in good order come vp from their washing a peculiar people abundant and zealous of good works euery one bearing twins and none barren among them that our Church knowing the terrour of the Lord heereby as Christ speaketh may be purged and bring forth more fruit that it may grow as the Lily and haue rootes of Lebanon that she may looke forth from her sleepe as the morning faire as the moone pure as the sunne terrible as an armie with banners that all the world may confesse what nation is so great vnto whom God commeth so neare in all that we neede euen before wee call vpon him What nation so great that hath ordinances and lawes so wise and so righteous as they haue set out in this their day Amen April 29.
