A38439	Englands tears and lamentation for her lost friend peace, and her comfort for the continuance of trvth, or, Truth and peace justly pleaded for, and truly petitioned for by him that is neither factious nor self-affected, but onely desires the prosperity of his country : and that peace and the gospel may be joyned together, without which we shall never expect to live in unity.		1642 (1642)	Wing E3056; ESTC R40558	4,499	8

being we are not Truth is the most transcendent glory of the devine Majesty if we may say God is capable of degrees all the glorious attributes of God receive there being from this which if I speak as it is is no lesse then God himself in his height of blessednesse this truth is the increated light of the Intelectuall world shining from God to Angels and men and let mens hearts harp on this that peace is the desire of nations what is peace without Truth not peace but the shadow of peace enjoyed without truth loved is to use Solomons phrase like a jewell of pearl in in a swines snoat and let me speak and all England hear had truth blessed truths fundamentalls at least bin holily and thankfully received peace had never departed had truth been better welcome and more desieed by all peace had never taken it's leave so suddenly and sadly and the only way to have peace restored in purity and perfection is to purge our hearts and then seek Gods peace and if none this blood not of nation but of our nation purge us then blessed shal we be that are in such a case ye happy that have the Lord fully and reconciledly for our God and then the other I say of truth and peace as the author of both in another case those whom God hath joyned together let no man dare to put asunder as men naturally incline to follow that Petition with ardency Lord send peace in our dayes so let them with as much fervency and sincerity contend for that of Davids that righteousnesse and peace may kisse each other and let that heart tongue and hand sinck perish and wither that will not say Amen Truth and peace like a loving couple they seek the preservation of each others estate and like Hypocrates twins they laugh together and are like affected survey their sweet congruity and you will say as a lovely couple it were sin and pitty to part them truth and peace being bona publica universalia Docte● Gauden in his seasonable Serm n before the truely Honorable Huose of Commons truth for the soul peace for the body and state every one hath a share and interest in thē Prince Peers and people Behold with judicious eyes and weigh with judgement the vanity folly misery impossibility of reall injoyning one without the other ponder and ponder wisely meekly moderately ruminate with serious and saddest thoughts on this all ye that neglect the fair opportunities of peace and look upon it with a foolish disdain like a coy dame on a loving sutor whom after she hath slighted and neglected would upon second thoughts gladly imbrace with dearest affections when too late but other guests will soon be invited nay come ryding on the wings of the wind and peace will dwell within our wals and plenteousnesse in our palaces therefore let not any sons of Belial blow any longer the fire of contention and in seeking their own ends endeavour to end all Let not the Prince wage war rashly but remember the advise given to Augustus to repeat all the letters of his Alphabet when he was angry before he do any thing and our dread Soveraign should do well to try all his let●e●s all his learning all his skill first all his Counsell before he ingage his Royall Person loving and loyall Subjects in an unnaturall war and let him not proceed to war implacably Hercules club they say was made of Olive an embleme of peace and peace must there be desired where war cannot be warranted Oh that God would perswade his Royall heart not to go to war but as An dronicus proceeded to the execution of justice with the saying of St. Paul in his mouth and heart non quod volo bonum facio c. the good I would I do not and the evill I would not that do I and resolve with our Saviour if my right eye offend me and my people I will pluck it out and if my right hand offend justly I will cut it off better one or few I account dear should perish then the whole body be inevitably lost and let our right Honorable Parliament say as they have often so God may be glorified the King truly honoured Haman hanged the people blessed in the injoyment of truth and peace let our honour lye in the dust our estates wast our pleasures and profits be known no more And let all men pray for King and Parliament and that those that God hath joyned together those may be accurst that ere part asunder and let none sinfully prefer an unwarrantable unjust peace before a just war least the just God teach them better divinity by the rod of severity all know God justified Israels war with his Brother Benjamine and commanded warr with Amalech Warr in it selfe is an appeale to heaven by a sword when other wayes of Justice upon earth either by witnesse oathes or Leagues are made voyd and invallid and Religion is a greater happinesse then peace Religion is just so much the best of blessings as God is the best of beings a p entifull table to feede the body without profitable discours to feede the minde is little better then a manger Israel had 3. crownes as Talmud observes of the King of the Priest of the Law but the crown of the Law was the chiefe of the three in a word let peace and truth be in all mens lives and loves truth as the roots peace as the fruits and et a desire nothing more then that the sonne of GOD may raigne and that with and under the sonne of GOD the King may command and we as good subjects to the Christ and the King may obay so prayes he that loves truth and peace FINIS
