ENGLANDS Prospective-Glasse A SERMON AT A Metropolical Visitation HELD AT The Cathedral Church of CHRIST in CANTERBVRY on the 29th of April 1663. PREACHT Before the Right Reverend Father in God HENRY Lord Bishop of Chichester the then Representative of the Most Reverend Father in God WILLIAM by Divine Providence Lord Arch-Bishop of Canterbury His Grace and of all England Primate and Metropolitan Our Most Worthy Diocesan By Sam. Hinde one of His Majesties Chaplains and present Incumbent of St Mary's Church in Dover then called to attend that Service for the Three Deaneries of Dover Bridge and Elam IEHOVA NISSI Write this for a Memorial in a Book and rehearse it in the ears of Ioshua For I will utterly put out the Remembrance of Amalek from under Heaven Ex. 17.14 LONDON Printed by J. Redmayne for John Crook at the Sign of the Ship in St Pauls Church-yard 1663. Imprimatur Geo. Stradling S. T.P.Rev in Christo Pat. D. Gilb. Episc Lond. à Sac. Domestic Ex Aed Sabaud Maii 14. 1663. TO THE Right Reverend Father in God HENRY Lord Bishop of CHICHESTER MY LORD YOur Lordship was then in the Archi-Episcopal Throne when I was in the Pulpit preaching the following Sermon and became the Grand Exemplar of Attention to that great Confluence both of Clergie and Laity then present What was then though with much weakness offered to Your Ear is now with all becoming and imaginable Humility presented to Your Eye I make my Address to Your Lordship at this time Instar Omnium because at that time Your Lordship was more then Your Self and in all Capacities fitter to Patronize what now flies to Your Vmbrage for Shelter In the ensuing Tract Your Lordship will finde I have ransack't Gods dreadfull Artillery and planted many rending and roaring Cannons against spiritual Wickedness then reigning and raging in High Places None I hope will say as Laertius of the Writings of Chrysippus I have taken up all that came in my way since the Margin is able to make good the Text and declare I have medled with nothing but what was Analogical and Suitable to it and yet with so much that as Apollodorus the Athenian said of the same Chrysippus his Writings If the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 all were taken out that was not mine own there would be much blanck in this little Sermon If the good People of the Land shall be better'd in their Devotion by the perusal of it O well is me and happy shall I be If any shall shuffle themselves out because I have left them out in the Application as unwilling either Pulpit or Press should remonstrate I hope their Forgiven Crimes both in Religion and Loyaltie I have but the same success the Prophet Isaiah compained of Domine quis credidit Auditui nostro Lord who hath believed our Report or to whom is the Arm of the Lord revealed But did I say Forgiven Crimes I could wish it were so even now when I labour under a godly Jealousie that it may be otherwise Because the Whoredoms of their Mother Jezabel and their Witchcrafts are yet so many The Lowing of the Oxen and the the Bleating of the Sheep is as loud as ever Their Murmurings and Complottings against David on the Throne and Abiathar at the Altar declare it The very shew of their Countenances witness against them Their Illegal and Schismatical Conventions publish it Yea their publick and profest Disobedience to most Laws and Sanctiòns holy and humane do proclaim a Nolumus hunc regnare against their King and a Nolumus scientiam Viarum tuarum against their God We endeavour to draw them as the Prophet Hosea sayes with the Cords of a man and the bands of Love but our Cords are to weak they snap them in pieces as Sampson did the Cords of the Philistims nor must we ever exspect a better return from the best of them then Olympias had for Eurydice who presented her with a Treble choice of a Sword a Haltar or a Cup of Poyson By Your Lordships leave I declare to the world a known Truth that I can shew under the hand of a great Sectarie in a Letter written to my self then going Commissioner to the Isle of Man Anno 1661. in the behalf of some of them in that Island that they call themselves The elect and pretious People of God The Stone cut out of the Mountains The same Stone which the Builders refused with many such blasphemous Interjections in that Paper Yet three of these were then presented in the Ecclesiastical Court I being then Judg two for Adultery and one for Fornication When Democritus had declared his opinion of a sort of men that they were Good and Just and Sober a By-stander said Heu me miserum quod nec uno quidem adhuc sum potitus So for my part I could never finde wherein lay the excellency of these People that so much and so loudly sound forth their own praises This I do that no Obligation will binde no Friendship oblige them The Friendship of Zenocrates was not to be purchased by Alexander Amicitiam emere vero voluit Philosophus vendere noluit They are not unlike Phaonius in Plutarch Bold and Barbarous Take measure of them by their Loyaltie to their KING their Nursing-Father and among thousands you will not finde a Craterus or an Hephaestion 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that loves either the King in His Person or the King in His Government but are as ready as ever to slander the Foot-steps of the Lords Anointed And if you measure them by their Obedience to the CHVRCH their Aged Mother Malitia eorum excaecavit eos their Hatred towards Her is like the Vestal Fires inexstinguishable For to set up a Capitol of their own Imaginations they would destroy all the Churches of God in the Land Inter haec quid agamus Among all these Revolted Schismaticks what can the poor Ministers do whose Flocks are like Adonis Gardens beset and hedg'd with these Thorns and Bryars of Contention Only pray That God would still the rageing of this Sea and madness of this People and in the mean time flie as I do now to a Gospel Remedy Dic Ecclesiae The Great and Good God put it into the hearts of that Great Renowned Assembly to provide some seasonable Remedy against the growth of this pestilent Contagion Ne pars sincera trahatur And the same God subdue these incorrigible People to himself in Obedience to themselvs in Humility to their King Our Most Gracious Sovereign in Loyaltie to the Church in Duty to the World in Peace and Vnity that that may be true of them which Livy sayes of Val. Flaccus Quantum prius Luxuriae exemplum fuerat tantum postea Modestiae Sanctitatis specimen evasit And as they have given up their members instruments of unrighteousness unto sin so they may give up themselves instruments of Righteousness unto Holiness My LORD I have transgrest the Rule of Phocion's Orator Verborum paucitate
