This being the day publiquely set apart and for six houres together in Christ-Church solemnly spent in the exercise of Humiliation First Mr. Cox in a Sermon never to be forgotten dischargeth his conscience and finding in the whole Scripture no words more agreeable to his principles against Church-separation he takes the 19 Verse of Judes Epistle for his Text Thus These be the who separate themselves sensual having not the Spirit At the naming of the words presently there fell a kinde of spirit of Prophecie upon all the Auditors supposing by the very bending of his bow in the text what the mark was at present and partly present at which he principally aimed And so he proceeded to discover the naked beauty of truth so long concealed After many judicious and pious Observations about the circumstances of his Text he fell plainly to work telling us that in the notorious and general iniquity of separation the people of God were extreamly guilty and how that the gatherings of Churches out of Churches under the phantastick notion of non-communion with the unregenerate had in it not so much of Serpents head it being against all reason as of his tail in the oblique windings of avarice pride and indiscretion the counterfeit champions of Devotion Then he informs when this sin of Separation took beginning and putting a disparagement upon its pedegree he quarters it with the Levitical coat of Corah and the rest of his damnable Separatists But with some supposed differences they onely aiming at equality among their brethren these at superiority They devoured by the earth these in their large possessions devouring more earth then indeed the moderation of the former Ecclesiasticall Laws allowed to be Canonical After this he descends to his Exhortations of the Magistrate and the concerned people The Magistrate to pluck the branches of Separation out of the fire a work to be done rather then spoken of Then the concerned people that they indeavour to quench the flames upon a double account for first they are generally branded besides this which will be matter of amazement in settled times these fires are of their own perticular kindling exclusively to the publick authority of the Magistrate And to speak plainly without a complement to Church Interest the fire of martyrdome this directed to the communion the other to the division of the Church is in conscience more capable of election supposing that Christ and Mammon are two distinct persons When Mr. Cox had run his race in this present occasion the worke of Humiliation was carried on by Mr. Adare in prayer with much ardency of zeal effectually to Gods Glory After him Mr. Charnock ascends who after the sweet incense of his prayer to God turned himselfe upon the Auditors in the oblation of this Text viz Isaiah 1.25 26. After many holy observations the principall part of his devotion agreeable to the nature of the times was to affert the necessity of a fixed and standing magistracy since the houour of publick authority is never lesse triumphant than when it rides in a chariot whose wheels being alwayes turning the people find nothing but over-turnings in the predominant resolutions of sundry factions Here he inserted many documents as to the spirituall interest of Church and State Then applying himselfe to the Learned Universities of our Nations they being as the fountains of the deep and the windows of Heaven he seemed to ground on their corruption an unavoydable danger that a deluge of error may overwhelme the face of our Nations especially in these times where there is more danger threatned by the overflowing of the waters then care taken in the building of an Ark for the preservation of common interest To this exercise of Humiliation the sacred Seale was affixed by Mr. Bains in prayer of whose words the best account that can be given will manifest it self in the heavenly blessings of our proceedings Onely thus is noted of him that in the Pillar of the wildernesse when nothing but the cloud appears he followes his conscience But when the other face is turned with light he follows reason March 9. Ordered That Sir John Clotworthy Dr. Jones and Col. Hill be and are hereby appointed a Committee to return the thanks of this Convention to M. Cox M. Charnock M. Adare and M.

events tuned by the Almighty hand of Providence so that we are are confident ere long the world will see a good Account of Gods me●cifull dispensations about the ways and ands for which we have lately engaged Nor despair we of convincing if not satisfying our very enemies being men many of them in whose Ignorance the world may read in legible characters the hatred of Universities in their avarice and self-giftedness the extirpation of Ministers and Ministery and in a strange complication of ambition and fear rightly apprehending that Justice never dies their implacable malice against a Free Parliament The most rem●rkable chractey of this day was given by Sir Hardress Wallers departure whose pretty affronts by the private Souldiers were highly redeemed by the civility of the superior Officers and so he was conveyed away to Athlone A Letter from W.

CAVLFIELD Friday Feb. 24. Another Letter to the right Honorable Sir Charls Coot c. From Capt. Whaley Dated at Nenaugh Feb. 22. 1659. THe sum of it is to declare how himself and others were always ready to observe his Lordships commands and in perfect obedience to his late declaration signed by the Council of Officers at Dublin the rest may be omitted about his judhement of the Anabaptists and some wholsome reflections on the tyranny of the Quakers Thus without determining which is a greater preparative to the common destruction their first Tyranny or their fifth Monarchy he tells his Lordship in hast that he remaines his Lordships most humble and faithful servant c.

ED. MARTIN Mayor Monday Feb. 27. THursday much joy was occasioned among us by the Lord Broghils coming to Dublin he having first been complemented by the Lord President and other persons of quality meeting him on the way This day the convention met at the Tholsell but nothing was done but to adjourne the Convention to Friday next ensuing in expectation of a full confluence of all the Members Wednesday Feb. 29. Among al the days since the first stone laid in Ireland the testimony of Gods mercie hath not revealed it self to this Nation than in the news of this day sent from England For we shall ever acknowledge That the birth day of the English liberty in readmitting the excluded Members to sit in Parliament and the Christning of it in committing the military affairs of the three nations to the valor and fidelity of Generall Monk is a blessing of which we have nothing to complain but our unworthinesse to receive it This evening was ended with abundance of bonfires ringing of bells acclamations of joy throughout the whole City of London Friday March 2. This day being the second Session of the Convention at Dublin after the adjournment First the Members in great solemnity met at Christs-Church to lay the foundation of their future councils inconsulting with the Oracle Here M. Cox an eminent P●eacher of the City entertained them with a Sermon full of piety and discretion neither forgetting the Magistrate in laying his duty before him nor himself in running beyond the bounds of the Gospel to plunge himself over head and ears in matters of State or another cognizance He was observed to have many Lessons and two Whips First for buyers sellers turning all mechanical unordained Preachers out of the Temple and then for another sort of men who more desparately whip the Temple it self out of the Temple by gethering Churches out of Churches So that after much winnowing nothing is lest the poor Parish but the windie chaff and excrements of Christianity the good grain being purified keeps close together in a comfortable private combination Thus the Preacher He having with great approbation concluded the honourable Members of the Convention departed to the place of their Meeting and there fell upon the necessary work of their Generation This day Sir James Barry was much talked of for a noble speech made by him in the Convention which is elsewhere to be Printed it being thought worthy to stand alone that it may receive the admiration of the eye in a single encounter which is lost in a croud of other businesses After this Speech of Sir James Barry many others inflam'd with the success of his fortunate eloquence have since playd the good Orators in the Convention where without popularity aiming onely at the good of the people the natural end of artificial speaking they all as it were with one spirit shewed the various perfections of their art in beautifying one common Theme to wit That the benefit of Ireland is chiefly contained in a subordination to the authority of Parliament now sitting in England This argument is further confirmed by the greatest Topick of the nation the authority of the Convention by whose Order a Declaration is already prepared to be made publick Note also that the late Declaration of Sir Charls Coot and the rest of the Officers
