A96291	A declaration to Great Britain and Ireland, shewing the downfall of their princes, and wherefore it is come upon them: because Christ is riding on his white horse, conquering his enemies till he have destroyed Antichrist, who hath made the nations drunk with the cup of her fornications: and till he have destroyed Mahomet, that great deceiver of the people. / Written and directed to Great Britain, and all other nations; by me Robert Wharton, wel-wisher to my countrymen, and to all the faithfull in Christ Jesus throughout the world. With an humble advice to the Army. This treatise is approved and commended, and thought worthy to be printed, by Master Hugh Peters.

as you have it in the Revelations Now when the Lord hath taken possession of all then shall that Prophesie be fulfilled which the Lord spake by the Prophet Esay And it shall come to passe in the latter days that the Lords house shall be prepared in the height of the Mountains and shall be higher then the highest or as may be said higher then the Kingdoms of the World for his power glory and beauty Then shall all Nations seeke unto him a multitude of people shall speak one to another Come let us ascend to the hill of the Lords house he will instruct us in his wayes and we will walke in his paths for out of Sion shall come a Law and the Word from Jerusalem yea and shall give sentence among the Nations yea and the multitude of the people shall breake their Swords into Mattocks and their spears into pruning hooks they shall not learn War any more nor lift up a weapon one against another then shall the high heads of men be brought low and the Lord only shall be exalted Esay 2. Then shall be fulfilled the word of the Lord concerning his people and his enemies saying Behold my servants that rejoyce for very quietnesse of heart but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart and complain for vexation of Spirit your name shall you leave for a curse among my chosen for the Lord shall slay you call his servants by another name Esay 45. Now to consider concerning this Prophesie that Esay spake of many things concerning Christs comming in the flesh for the redemption of man is accomplished which was the greatest worke of all works but for the accomplishing of his power in bringing his people from the bondage of their enemies is but now begun and when he hath done concerning his enemies and taken possession of all Kingly powers and authority then shall be brought to passe the Prophesie of Esay the Prophet Shall learn War no more which shall be fulfilled at the time the Lord hath appointed now the Lord hath appeared for his people and is going on his way conquering his enemies either goe on with him or goe out of his way of his fury lest you be found partakers with them in their sinfulnesse and so be partakers with them of their punishment then let us beware while it is called to day least if we come in the hardnesse of our hearts heaven be shut against us to all eternity and then too late to call for mercie therefore our Saviour Christ gives us warning saying Watch for ye know not when the master commeth whether at noonday or at midnight or at the cock crowing or at the dawning lest he come suddenly he finde you sleeping and what I say unto you I say unto all Watch Mark 13.35 36. Now I pray you in the feare of the Lord consider what the Lord hath done and what he is now a doing and the Lord enlighten your understanding that ye may see more and more of the Lords appearing for his people and be partakers with them of their happiness in Christ The Lord unite the Nations together that as we are but one people and language so we may be of one heart and minde which the Lord grant for Jesus Christ his sake AMEN Yours R.W.

Bush and sacrificed like as he would have sacrificed the people of the Lord. Thus hath the Lord appeared for his peoole yet for all this the enemies of the Lord will not see what the Lord is doing but they will goe on and though they see plainly that the Lord is destroying his enemies yet will they be more vile raising up War but it proves their own destruction as consider the evill that our King hath brought on him and his posterity and all because he could not set up Papistry and bring the Nation into a slavish condition ô that wicked will that is in man by nature though to the destruction of himselfe and his posterity which though he had wealth enough by the revenues of three Kingdoms yet would not all this serve him but a tyrannicall government over the Nations surely they that have hearts to consider and well understand this may very well know that he had no great love to the Nation but to rule like a Tyrant or a cursed stepfather that loves the wealth the children are heirs unto but strives to make the children away who would have gone from his people as he did when he was so royally and lovingly entertained by them a great gift given him another to his Queen and another to the Prince by the Citizens of London which was not the gift of one man but the gift of many yea how did the Citizens entertain the Queens Mother thus did the people rejoyce to doe them good and for all this kindnesse they sought to spill our bloud and who must he choose but Papists for his trusty friends as Arundel Lunsford an arch Papist to be Lieutenant of the Tower to beat the City about our ears this love and kindnesse have we found at his hands for the great love we shewed him when he tooke up a War against the Scots he spared their bloud and granted their desires but when he came to reason with us nothing but fire and sword served his turn to destroy us a poore and blinde people that should so much desire the life of him that was not only a destroyer of the body but likewise of the soul by seeking to put out the light of the Gospel and to have set up papistry as you may see by his actions under a colour desiring to have Religion as it was in Queen Elizabeths dayes and so to have set up Papistry but with his Lordly Bishops but all would not serve his turn for when he had run his course in the place where he had sinned in the same place he must end his dayes a sad condition for in the time of his prosperity he built a Masking-house for the Devils worship or sporting upon the same place where the Lords name was call'd on the Masking-house being built up to over-top Gods place of worship yet doe I not say that is the true place of Gods Worship for the place that God chooseth for his worship is in the heart yet that place was chosen by man to call on the name of the Lord therefore did the Lord as for his wicked designe and so brought bloud upon his head as he hath done on his Nobles and the rest of his friends that were the enemies of Jesus Christ But me thinks I heare him be wailing Straffords bloud truly he needeth not for never was man more sorry for his friends death then he was for his had he pittied this Nations bloud as he pittied his there had been no War raised by him to cut off English men as he hath done Some say that Duke Hambleton clears the King of Irelands bloud as concerning the Protestants there how many times hath he been moved in every Treaty by the Parliament to cause War to cease there but would not yield to it then judge you whether he be guilty of that bloud or no. Again some say it was not lawfull for the Parliament assisted by the Army to put him to death will ye say so are they not they whom the Lord hath put the Sword into their hands to execute vengeance on his Enemies is his bloud dearer to him then the bloud of his Saints though he was an utter enemy so far as his power did reach to cut off the people of the Lord. But you will say that David would not lay his hand on his King a great reason for David knew that he was anointed to be King by the Prophet of the Lord therefore had it been presumption against the Lord to snatch the Crown to his head and not wait the Lords leasure for David was told by the Spirit of the Lord that he should be King and that Sauls dayes should be shortned Again Saul was a freind to the Nation cutting off the Gibonites thinking to doe the people his Subjects a pleasure but ye saw no such affection in our King towards the people his subjects but take notice how the Lord dealt with Saul after he had destroyed him by his enemies his wrath was not appeased so but he revenged the bloud of strangers on his seed caused a dearth for foure years to come upon the Land and would not be appeased till he had rooted out his posterity If the Lord dealt so with him that was a freind to the Nation how much more will he be angry with those that will spill the bloud of the Nation and destroy the Lords Inheritance Yet one great worke I doe behold and I doubt a sad one that our Ministers should so much bewail his death that proclaimed them Traitors who would not have spared their lives but have put them to death and so have put out the light of the Gospel as you may take notice concerning his actions and those that were in counsell with him in their wicked practises had it not beene death for any that should have come to give him evill counsell against the Gospel or against the Lords inheritance Had he been a godly Prince would he have slighted the death of his Father as he did when he was told he was poysoned and when a Parliament was called in the beginning of his Reign how would he have searched out the offenders but he caused the Parliament to be put by and sit no more likewise concerning Rochel work what treachery was there laid against the poore Protestants there judge ye they sent hither for help against the Papists for fear of being overcome by them and he promised them help but when their greatest need and desires came on them he sent the ships against them whereby they were overthrown thus from the beginning of his Reign to his last days hath he been an enemy to the people of the Lord and will ye cause the people to mourn after him that so much hath sought after their destruction truely a sad case Christ saith ye are my friends if ye do whatsoever I command you I am sure he doth not command you to mourn after his enemies when he is destroying them do you

the Master cometh If the Lord be on his way destroying his enemies in his fury leading them into captivity that have led into captivities killing them with the sword that have killed with the sword Revel 13.10 Then is it time for the people of the Lord yea the Ministers of Jesus Christ to be united together and seek to the Lord to have the Root of bitternesse that is among them plucked up by the roots which hath been a great cause to Gods people to stagger and stumble in this time when the Lord is executing his enemies Truly it hath been a great cause of giving advantage to the enemy to laugh us to scorne yea it hath given them advantage to take up the sword againe which hath been the cause of much bloud-shed since Oxford giving up and may be the cause of more if not speedily prevented by an agreement among Ministers who are divided who knoweth whether the Lord hath done with his enemies will begin with his people or no and chastise them in the sight of their enemies will not this grieve you shall see the Lord lashing you in the sight of your enemies for them to laugh at you The Lord open your eyes that the errours which are between you may be plainly seen by you so that they may be plucked up by the roots and cast into hell from whence they came Now the Lord bring you together in love that your differences may be so ended that the Lord may smell a sweet savour in giving your selves up together in love to the Lord so shall the people of the Lord greatly rejoyce and your enemies be dismissed of their prey they long and look for thus will there be a great advantage unto a happy peace in the Nation then shall the glory of the Gospell breake forth in this Land like a burning shining light to the whole world which will be a great means to darken errours then shall the Ministers be seene once more like the Stars in Christs right hand whom their enemies did once seeke to pull down by proclaiming them Traitors Then will the Lord delight to do us good and bring down the power of the enemie still more and more till he have quite overthrowne Antichrist and plucked down his throne which shall be downe in his appointed time which time is set and known to the Lord even to the very day and houre appointed which being done Mahomet his time must suddenly follow then then down must come all other thrones where the red Dragon hath his power and when all these Kingdomes of the world are subdued to the obedience of Christ Then shall the Dragon be quite conquered and chained up for a thousand years Revel 20.3 Then shall that Prophesie be come to passe which was spoken by our Saviour Christ to his Disciples in Luke 21.24 concerning the destruction of Jerusalem where he saith And they shall fall by the edge of the Sword and shall be led away captive into all Nations thus hath that appeared long ago sixteene hundred years the next Jerusalem must be trodden down of the Gentiles untill the time of the Gentiles shall be fulfilled Now according to the Prophesie of our Saviour Christ When all the Kingdomes of the world are subdued to his obedience then shall the Jews become an United Nation again and Jerusalem shall be builded a glorious City the Lord Christ raigning spiritually among them But to consider of the great mercy of the Lord in bringing down the power of our home-bred enemies what enemies had we in the Parliament to keep back the work the Lord had going on for the defence of his people how did they seeke wayes to overthrow all by treachery by sending money and other provisions in the time of my Lord of Essex and so made our enemies proud over us had not the Lord curbed them and kept them under but when they could not prevaile then did they take my Lord of Warwicke and placed Committees in his roome yet that would do them no good they were so befooled by the mercy of the Lord then to try another project they chose Sir Thomas now Lord Fairfax to be Generall and gave him a large Commission thinking it should break his necke now judge ye how treacherous they were to the Seats they sate on and to the City yea and to the destruction of the Lords Inheritance O miserable men how did they lift themselves up in their wicked wayes as ye shall heare After my Lord Generall had received such a large Commission from them then did they give him nothing but prest men that swore they would run to the King and would not suffer a Drum to be beat up to gaine souldiers in love to him then did my Lord of Essex his men stand out by thousands being loth to forsake their old Generall and serve a new Generall then see further their ase practises when the King was got out of Oxford to range abroad spoil then was the Generall to beat against dead walls at Oxford where he lost his men then in the mean while they caused the Leiutenant Generall and Colonell Vermuten who followed the King in the Reare to withdraw to their Quarters so in the mean time the King fell on Leicester where was lost much bloud on both sides and the City taken by the enemy thus may you see what treacherous Parliament men did hatch for the upholding their Covenant they made to the Lord and sought to destroy all the work the Lord set them to do ô wicked covetous men what falls both to God and man seeking after nothing but covetousnesse and treachery now are ye abhorred both of the Lord and men a hissing to all Nations now are your servants become your masters yea and without a great returne unto the Lord and great satisfaction to the Nation whom ye have deceived ye are but miscrable Leicester's bloud cries out against you for revenge the Lord lay it to your hearts that are guilty of it that it may not be laid to your charge at the great Day when the Lord Christ shall come to judge the World But to consider the sad condition we were brought into by their evill ways I cannot forget how did the Royall Party cry out all was their own and what will become of the Round-heads now truely that time ought not to be forgotten then how did the people of the Lord slock together both night and day and how did they prevaile with the Lord even when we were at the lowest then was helpe and deliverance most precious then did the Lord arise like one out of a sleep rowzed up the spirits that were halfe dead then were out enemies smote on the hinder parts then was there no treacherous Hotham to be found then were out enemies utterly routed so did the Lord graciously for us till our enemies were vanquished thus did the Lord crosse the designes of wicked men and broke their bands asunder

mightily prospering his owne worke yet for all they see such mighty overthrowes given to out enemies yet would they go on plotting their evill designes but when our parts got the better then would they give way patience by force thus did they linger out the time thinking all would turne but the Lord laughs them to scorne making them the out-cast of men Yet one thing is to be noted after the Armies had conquered their enemies giving them large Propositions that they should arise no more in opposition they broke their Articles and rose againe as did appear in Kent Wales and Essex and other places then how did they brag and vapour when the Army was parted and engaged and indeed put to such hard service that the Heavens seemed to frowne on them yea and the whole World caused them to frowne with many that before had taken their parts which made their condition to seem very sad then did the Lord seem once more to appear for them and gave them power over their enemies then were they utterly reuted in every place where they were gathered together then did the Scots invade the Land thinking to overcome all and so become masters over us who came not to sight for the King onely but to enslave the Nation as did appear if this be so then what mad spirits have we that would rather take all and become Slaves to another Nation then to be crost of our foolish wills the Lord charge our mad spirits that we may see what is for our good unite us together againe and make us a happy Nation that we may serve him who said First seeke the Kingdome of Heaven and all these things shall be added unto you But to looke further how many opportunities had our enemies and lest all friends friends in the Parliament friends in the whole Nation except a few that the Lord had chosen for us friends amongst all Nations yea even the whole World except a few the Lord had chosen and the weaker sort to which maketh me call to winde a Speech that the Dutch Embasadour said when he had seen the Kings Army at Oxford and our Army that attended their motion said he the King hath a gallant Army but you have a good God to sight for you which was as much as if he had said If ye have not the Lord to fight for you ye are undone then judge ye after all these examples and great deliverances whether the Lord hath fought for us or no Yet one great worke I must not forget concerning the Leiutenant Generall and his Brigade 2 Remember when the Scots came first into England to oppose the King about Religion out Parliament for their assistance in that worke sent them a great Summe of money and so to depart the Land which when the French heard of it they made a play of English men and Scotch men the English man was stript naked from the shoulders to the Waste and the Scotch man beating him where he pleased this being done Low were English men laught to scorne as the Scotch men could laugh at t is at their pleasute which was the greatest blot that ever English men had put on them but take notice how this blot was wiped off the Scots with a great Army marched into the Land thinking to be masters of all as did appear by their actions but their cause being unjust the Lord strengthened the hands of our souldiers to sight against them who very valiantly scattered them like a myst marched into their Countrey had their Demands caused their enemies to be disbanded entertained in their chiefe City with great respect came off with honour to our Nation and shall we be unthankfull unto the Lord for such mercies as these be desiring to have them shall we be ungratefull to our friends that have wiped off such a staine from the Nation with the ventring their lives the Lord forbid this great evill that reignes in their spirits that ever we should turne against our friends that have spilt their bloud tosave us from being destroyed the Lord humble both Ministers and people that we may see our owne misery and amend that the Lord may be pleased to unite the Nations that we may become the Temples for the Lord Christ to dwellin then shall holinesse be our delight and the Lord will delight to do us good so shall we dwell safely and none shall make us afraid but for my part that have wrote this Book I have desired that my hand might be dried up like the hand of Jeroboam never to pluck it in again and my tongue cleave to the roofe of my mouth then that I should write any thing against the Honour of Christ I never took the like worke in hand before now but all my prayer is that the Nations may be united againe and that the Lord Christ may reigne over us The Lord give us such a Parliament as may hate covetousnesse that they may doe that which is just for the poore Commonalty that above all they may seeke unto the Lord to know what is his will concerning a true Government for his Worship and this being done surely the Lord will delight todwell among us which will be the happiest condition that ever Nation lived in which that it may be so the Lord strengthen us with his holy Spirit to go on in a loving way both Ministers and people and so the Lord prosper us all while we are so seeking and doing his Will to whom be ascribed all Glory and Honour both now and evermore Amen I pray marke well and consider what Instructions we have in Psalm 146. so likewise in Isat 58. To the Worthies of the ARMY BUt unto you the Noble Champions of England whom the Lord hath rade Conquer ours over his enemies conquering those that were like the mighty Anakims of the Land whose command was obeyed through three Kingdoms and whose name was honoured upon the great Ocean how hath the Lord made you like Josuah and Caleb conquering the enemies of the Lord Christ and like David cut off the head of Goliah and shall not the Lord be honoured by you for all this surely that were a great dishonour to the mighty worke he hath put into your hands to do I pray consider how the Lord hath given all the Land unto your hands to dispose of scattering your enemies and making them amazed now doth all Nations stand and waite to see what will be the intent of your actions some say that ye are hypocrites making a stirrup of Religion to yet up into the saddle and sion thence to the Throne some say that now ye are become Masters of all ye will become mighty men over your brethren serving your own turnes and to the poor Commons whom ye have fought for shall be worse enslaved then ever by having many Task-unsters reigning over us Should it be so your latter end would be worse then your beginning yea and the Lord would serve you

released banished the land to come no more but marke what befell in short time the King married his daughter to the King of Bohemia who were turned out of their Countrey and have lived as strangers in another Countrey and were maintained by the charge of England and their children fighting against the people of God as ye see to this day when they were turned out of Bohemia the next chance that befall Prince Henry was poysoned thus were his children curb'd and cut off though his children were thus miserably brought under and cut off yet did he not consider nor call to minde wherefore the Lord had brought this judgement on his children but sinned yet more by suffering a Papist house to be built up in Black-friers but marke what befell as soon as they were in their devotions with their strange gods the house fell down on their heads as Dagon fell before the Arke of God where were killed some fourescore persons besides what was maimed yet did not this strange work move him but he sinned yet more sending his sonne to Spain and France to get a wife that served strange gods and to make it appear more procured a Chappel for Papistry to be built up at Saint Jameses where it standeth to this day but take notice what befel him he that was his dearest friend whom he preferred before God and his people became his ruin which was the Duke of Buckingham who with his Mother wrought Sorceries and so poysoned the King as would have been proved if things had been brought to triall thus was his end miserable who preferred the enemies of Jesus Christ before the Lords worship not ruling the Nation in obedience to the Lord this being done and his dayes ended his son snatcht the Crown to his head Reigning in strange manner as ye have seen not ruling the people as in obedience to God and the Lord Christ but as a covetous King to God's dishonour preferring his own designes before Gods word he suffering any thing to be done for money preferring the friends to Papistry before Gods worship and preferring the Duke that helped to destroy his father before the whole Kingdome slighting the whole Nation and set him up in the throne of his heart but miserable was that wicked mans end when he was cut off from him then were the Bishops and their friends set up in his heart he allowing them to do whatsoever they pleased then did they begin to make havock of Gods worship changing the Sabboth into pastimes for people to serve the Devil and set forth an Order for it thinking that for sports and pleasure they could the easier draw the whole Nation to their designe and so put down the true worship of God then was Papistry advanced and all the friends to it in high esteem then did they thinke all was their own and nothing could hinder them so jovially went they on then went the King on in his designes suffering all that could bring money into his Treasury to reigne as petty Kings under him in pilling and polling the Nation by oppression as Patentees and making a new Freedome how many poore apple-women and broom-men rag-merchants and people of all sorts sold and pawned their bedding and their cloaths for a new Freedome and when all was done it proved a very cheat thus was the Kings coffers fill'd with oppression thus did the King his Bishops and his wicked crue reigne for a time But marke what befel when the Lord saw them thus triumphing in their jollity like the unjust Steward sitting and drinking with the drunken and smiting their fellow servants Luk. 12. Then did the Lord begin to a wake his people then did he stirre them up to prayer then did they begin to multiply and flock together then did the Lord put them Ezek. 36.37 Thus saith the Lord I will yet for this be inquired of by the house of Isarel to do it for them I will increase them with men like a flock But mark when the wicked crue faw what was doing and knew not what would become of their projects then did they begin to smite them about the eares imprisoning them and banishing them then did they see what they could do with Scotland then were they thrown out with these white coats then did the people in the City of London begin to grow more sensible when they saw the Scots withstand them and so became stronger and stronger when the King the Bishops and their wicked crue saw their wicked designes begun to shake and cotter then were they in a straight nothing would serve their turne but the destruction of the people of God then did they in their wicked Counsels conjoyne with the King of Spaine to send an Army to cut off the City and take the spoile of it for his reward then did they raise an Army against Scotland cunningly carried the arms and strength from Sussex and those parts their joyning to the sea that the Spaniard might not be exposed thus in their cunning designes did they conjoyn but take notice how they were befooled the King of Spaine sending his Army hither thinking all was his own was befooled wonderfully though he sent such great strength having many friends to entertain them as the Earle of Northampton an arch Papist and Pennington with his ships to assist him Dover Castle that should have been made strong to oppose such an enemy had nothing to resist them thus did our home-bred enemies assist forreign enemies to cut us off then did the Lord appear for us wonderfully and provided a neighbour Nation to sinke the Spaniards in the Sea yet was it an impossible worke for Van Trump to have done had not the Lord appear'd for us for Fennington with his ships fired at the Dutch-men and did them much hurt for which they did accuse him when he went with the Queen into Holland to the Hague how did the Lord work wonderfully in casting our enemies into the Sea who should have cut our throats and many of them that escaped with life came to the City to beg their bread who saw the glory of the City but could not share of the wealth of it now judge you whether the Lord appeared for his people or no but see farther how the King of Spain was served after he lost his great Navy at Sea next year after he lost the Kingdom of Portingale so let all the wicked be served that joyne hand in hand to destroy the inheritance of the Lord. Now when the King with his wicked Counsell could no way prosper but his designes still crost and befooled with going to Scotland where he lost his labour and all the money that he had got in unjust wayes spent in that designe for Scotland then were the wicked crue enraged but the more they stirred the more they ensnared then began their woe then marke how Strafford was served for his wickednesse then was the Bishop taken by the Hornes like the Ram in the
