sure death bids hee come away by some Tokens which he hath sent thee Be ru●de by me and take this receipt Trust to it for it cui'd a King of Israel Cry out with Dauid O Lord Chast●ze me not in thy wrath for thine Arrowes haue lighted vpon mee There is nothing sound in my flesh because of thine anger neither is there rest in my bones because of my sinnes My woundes are putrified my Reynes full of burning I am weakned and sore broken My heart panteth my strength fayleth me And the light of mine eyes euen they are not mine owne my Louers and my friends stand aside from my Plague and my Kinsemen stand afarre off Yet continue thou vvith the holy singer and conclude thus O Lord hast to helpe mee Hovv like you this Medicine Is it of such vertue that albeit thou art sicke to thy Death It vvill by degrees take away all thy Torments This second is a lulep to sweeten the mouth of thy Stomacke after the bitternesse of thy sickenesse ●or when by an Armipotent hand thou art lifted out of thy death-bed when the Bell hath ceast rolling for thee and thy Womer-sle●pers leaue gaping for thy Linnen thy goodes and thy money And are madde they are not likely to Rifle thy House vvhen thou hast an appetite to eate and that thy feete are able to walke vpon that Earth which was hungry to d●noure thy whole bdoy Then fall thou vpon that Earth and Magnifie God Then say though thy sinnes in thy sickenesse made thy conscience shev a face to thee as blacke as Hell yet seake thou to it and tell it that this Recouery vvith new repentance continued sh●ll make it like the vvinges of a Doue couered with Siluer and vvhose Feathers are like the yellovv Gold Say to thy Soule it shal bee as white as the Snow in Zumon and co●s●sse that Gods Mercy is like the mountaine of Bashan Say to thy Health that the Chariots vvhich God sent to guard it vvere tvventy thousand Angels amongst whom the Lord was as in the Sanctuary of Sinay Nay albeit Death should lay his Mouth to thine Eare and bid thee put thy House in order For thou shall Dye Yet an Isaiah some good Mans prayer● or thine ovvne may bee heard and God may Ad●e to thy dayes fifteene yeares more as he did to Hezekiah vpon his Repentance Repentance is a Siluer Bell and soundes sweetly in the Eare of Heauen It is a Dyamond shyning and sparkling in the darke to inlighten all our miseries It is a 〈◊〉 for euery vvound It is a golden ladder by whose st●pp●s wee climbe to immortality It is a Chayne of Orient Pearle tying vp Gods handes that hee shall not strike vs Repentance smelleth sweeter then the Oyntment vvhich the Woman Annoynted Christs feete when shee wip●d them vvith her Hayre Repentance winnes the King of Heauen to smile vpon vs as if wee were his ●auorites and to say thus If thou still art ascending and getting vp this hill of Repentance blessed shalt thou bee in the Citty and bless●d in the field Blessed bee the fruit of thy Body and the fruit of thy Ground and the fruit of thy Ca●tle the increase of thy King and the 〈◊〉 of thy sheepe Blessed shall be the Basket and thy Dough Blessed shalt thou bee when thou comest in and blessed also when thou goest out Thy Land-soldiers O England Shall not stand in feare ●or thy Royall Nauy for thine enemies that rise against thee shall fall before thy face They shall come out against thee one way and fly before thee seauen wayes His word that speakes this may bee taken better then any Kings in the world And therefore hold out both thy hands vnder this Tree of Blessings and catch the golden apples when so freely they are taken downe into thy lappe But if thou trample these gifts vnder thy feete and spur●est at Gods fauour bestowed vpon thee in thy Health in the midst of a hot sicknesse If the Tolling of Bells cannot awaken you nor the opening of graues affright you If Bill-men standing at other mens dores cannot put you in minde that the same guard may locke vp yours and the same red Crosses bee stucke in your Banners If to bee shut vp close for a Moneth seeme but a short Saeue in a Tragedy and not car'd for when t is Acted Then heare O England and thou her eldest Daughter so admired amonst Nations for thy Beauty Heare what New Quiners of Punishments will bee opened For these are the Arrowes which God himselfe sayes hee will draw out at rebellious Kingdomes A Pestilence cleauing fast Consumptions feauers burning Agues The Sword Blasting new-Dewes Heauen shall bee turned to brasle and Earth to Iron Or Houses to haue others dwell in them our Vineyardes to haue others ●ast them our Ox●n to bee slaine yet wee not eate them our Sheepe to bee slaughtered and to feede our enemies These and hideons squ●ldrons besides are threatened to bee sent out against disobedient people What Physitians Doctors Surgeons or Apothecaries haue wee to defend vs in so dreadfull a Warre None not any If therefore with Naaman thou wouldst bee cleansed from Leprosy thou must obey Elisha and wash thy selfe seauen times in Iordan Wee●e seauen times a day Nay seauen times an houre for thy sinnes Whosoeuer with Ahaziah the King of Samaria falleth sicke and sendeth for recouery of Baal-Zebub the god of Ekron and not to the true God indeede hee shall not come from his bed but dye the Death For wee sincke to the Bottome of the watters as the Carpenters Axe did But though neuer so Iron-hearted the voyce of an Elisha the feruency of prayer and praysing God can fetch vs from the bottome of Hell And by contrition make vs swimme on the toppe of the waters of Life Now albeit at the first crying to God nay the Second Third Fourth or twentith time hee will not heare thee But that thy sighes are neglected Thy teares vnpittyed Thy sores nor repented Thy hunger not satisfied Thy pouerty not relieued Yet giue thou not ouer stand at the gate of Gods mercy still Begge still Knock still and knock hard For 〈◊〉 was barren yet being an importunate suiter her petition was heard and signed Shee was fruitfull and had three Sonnes and two Daughters So albeit wee bee barren in Repentance in Thanksgiuing in Charity in Patience in Goodnes Yet if vnfeignedly wee pray to Heauen wee shall bee fruitfull And these fiue shall bee our Sonnes and Daughters By this meanes our Ma●● shall change her Name agen to Naomi and our bitternes bee turned into sweetnes Art thou sicke Thy best and onely Doctor dwells aboue Hast thou beene sicke Art thou amended Fill Heauen and Earth full of Songes to thy Eternall Physition who takes nothing of thee for any Eloctu●ri●s hee giues thee His Pilles are bitter but whol●some and of wonderous operation And so much the better because what he giues comes gratis Art thou recouered Hast thou pluck't thy foot out of the graue when it was stepping in Then with the Sonne of Syrach acknowledge that a Beggar in health is better then a diseased Monarch Health and Strength are fairer then gold and a sound body is an infinite Treasure So that if thou doest not open thy Lippes to Magnifie him that hath snatched thee out of the lawes of destruction His blessings are to thee as messes of meate set vpon the graue I must yet once more wish thee O Troy nouans to cast thine eyes about thee Looke forward on thy sad Neighbour distressed Cambriage Sickenesse shakes her her glorious Buildings are emptied her Colledges shut vp her Lourned Sonnes forsake her her Tradesmen cry out for succour Want walkes vp and downe her streetes a few Rich a many Poore But the hands of the one cannot feede not fill the mouthes of the other To thee therefore O thou Nourishing mother of all the Citties in England to thee albeit thou art in some Sorrow thy selfe does this afflicted Nource of Schollers come What tree hath Branches broad enough to shelter her from stormes but thine Where is a Sunne to warme her frozen Limbes if it moues not in thy Zodiack Thou O Queene of Citties art Royall in thy gifts Charity sits in thy Gates and compassion waites vpon thee in thy Chamber So that with Dido thou often sayeth Non ignara
