ENGLANDS REMEMBRANCER OR A WARNING FROM HEAVEN Setting forth the two Iudgements of God now upon the Land viz. Sword and Plague VVith an admonition by a well-willer to his Countrey for prevention of the third Iudgement threatned which is Famine Be thou instructed O Jerusalem lest my soule depart from thee lest I make thee desolate a land not inhabited Jer. 6.8 He that abideth in the City shall die by the Sword and by the Famine and by the Pestilence c. For I have set my face against this City for evill and not for good saith the Lord. Jer. 21.9 10. Entred according to Order LONDON Printed by Thomas Paine for Francis Eglesfield Anno Dom. 1644. ENGLANDS REMEMBRANCER WE in England Scotland and Jreland have beene like the people of Laish Judg. 18. secure and carelesse Like the old world in the time of Noah and like the men of Sodom in the daies of Lot Luke 17.27 Eating and drinking and saying We shall have peace though we walke in the imaginations of our evill hearts Deut. 29.19 We would not hearken to the voyce of our God and Jsrael would none of him therefore may hee now justly give us up unto our owne hearts lust he hath called but we have refused he hath stretched out his hand but no man regarded we have set at naught all his counsells and would none of his reproofe therefore may he now laugh at our calamity and mock when our feare commeth when it commeth as desolation and destruction as a whirlewind that all men may see and say that the turning away of the simple hath slaine them and the prosperity of fooles hath destroyed them God hath given to this Nation of ours many a faire warning as loath to smite till needes hee must hee hath sent his Ministers early and late to thunder in our eares yet except we repent we shall all likewise perish God hath set our Neighbours house on fire as a beacon to give us warning I meane the Judgements that have befallen our brethren beyond the Seas and hath made the Rebells in Jreland rods to his owne people we have beene worse to our God then Joab was to Absalom 2 Sam. 14.29 30 31. for Absalom sent but twice and Joab refused him but God hath sent many and often to us and wee would not heare When Absalom set Joabs field on fire he came but God hath set our field on fire and we come not Our God hath given Jacob for a spoile and Jsrael to the robbers because wee have sinned against him for we would not walke in his waies neither were obedient to his law Isa 42.24 therefore he powred upon us the fury of his anger and the strength of battell he hath set us on fire round about yet wee know it not it burneth still but we lay it not to heart the sword of Almighty God devoureth flesh and drinkes our blood yet neither mercies nor judgements move us Still Ephraim eates the arme of Manasseh Manasseh Ephraim The Kingdom is like a mad man distracted that saves the cruell enemy a labour and with his owne bloody hands pulls as it were the haire from the head the skinne from the flesh the flesh from the bones the bowells from the bellie the heart from the brest and teares rends all in peeces yet scarce ever sighes or weeps or groanes for all but swells sweares and laughes and rages and rores to death God hath formerly sent many small judgements before as forerunners of this great judgement which now is come as little gunshots before the great murthering peece It hath beene told us before that if we repented not God would doe such a thing in England that whosoever should heare thereof both his eares should tingle thus the cockes crowed before the storme after many grievous diseases and plagues he hath sent the sword he can make our streets swim with the blood of us all and both with and after sword send famine as hee hath threatned Levit. 26. I will yet punish them seven times more and if that will not doe it seven times more The Lord will not cease to smite so long as we cease not to sinne Consider Jerusalem in the whole book of the Lamentations and consider Germany they were Gods people as well as wee yet had they their little ones dashed against the stones and their women ravished and abominable Idolatrie set up and all turned topsie turvie upside downe We have had the cleare light of the Gospel many yeares wee have had many deliverances especially those of the Gunpowder Treason and Eighty eight we have had more peace plenty and prosperity then any Nation yet wee have loved darkenesse rather then light we have trampled Christs blood under foote in the contempt of the Gospel and with bloody oathes and prophanation of his Sabbaths with cursed Idolatry riotous drunkennes and Atheisme Adultery Bribery Oppression Vsury Simony Fraud Hypocrisie Pride Idlenesse many still have a shew of godlynesse but deny the power of it many lukewarme Christians shall not God visite for these things Isa 1.2 3.
