ENGLANDS REMEMBRANCER OR A thankfull acknowledgement of Parliamentary Mercies to our English-Nation Wherein is contained a breife enumeration of all or the most of GODS free favours and choise Blessings multiplied on us since this Parliament first began By IOHN VICARS LONDON Printed for Thomas Vnderhill and are to be sold at the Bible in Wood-street M.DC.XLI ENGLANDS REMEMBRANCER OR A thankfull acknowledgement of Parliamentary Mercies to our English-Nation COme hither each true Christian heart and see But bring a joyfull thankfull heart with thee Come see I say to Gods eternall praise His miracles of mercies in thy dayes How though two former Parliaments were broke A third is cal'd hopefull to strike the stroke Of blessed reformation to which end See how the Lord the peoples hearts did bend To choose renowned worthies there to sit Maugre the adverse plots t'have hindred it How God stirr'd-up our Scottish Brethren brave As friends not foes justice with us to crave In which meane time how by Heavens providence Souldiers i th' Country with strange violence Turn'd rude Reformers hating the Popish-party And Pontificians with despight most hearty Crossing the Papists and the Prelates plots To force fierce warrs betwixt us and the Scots To three great Kingdoms certain Desolation All crossed by a blest Pacification Scatt'ring and batt'ring that time Spaines great Fleet By honest Holland who their pride did meet How God begins t' avenge th' unpater'nd ruth Of that pair-royall-Witnesses of Truth And all the suffering Worthies of the same Restoring them to comfort credit fame How God hath shot those impious Canoniers By cursed Canons to deep shame and feares Of fatall finall fall even by an Oath Wherby they hop'd to get full Popi●h growth How Heaven discovered hath a rotten-Sort Of scandalous Baals-Priests of foule report And open set a Doore of restauration For faithfull Pastours happy re-plantation How by their own plots God hath strangely wrought Papists and Prelates to decline to nought How by the very blood of traiterous foes The Lord begins the wounds to heale and close Of Church and State and for this purpose hath Kindled the fire of Supplicating Faith And fervent Zeale in private humiliation Such as the like was nere seen in this Nation And with transcendent sweet returns re-paid Our prayers into our bosomes with blest aid How the Lord hath the Spirit of Unity Shed on Both Houses Courage and Constancy O how their indefatigable paines Our happy Hopes in Church and State maintains To see both Prince and People blessedly Conjoyned in a sugred Symphony To sit and to consult with full content Till they themselves dissolve this Parliament And after it to sit triennially To Church and States future felicity To see Ship-money Pattents damned down And good men set in seates of high renown To see Non-Residents justly disgrac'd To see our lazy Pluralists displac'd And godly Lecturers by their flock elected And droanish Deanes and Prebends disrespected And voted-down in Parliament To see Oxford and Cambridge hopefull purg'd to be To see Gods Sabbaths more sincerely kept Of Carryers Fruit'rers Taverns soyle well swept And Presses open wide to vindicate The Sabbaths precious honour which of late By impious Prelates Pontificks profane Had by vain sports receiv'd a deep-dy'd stain To see to th' Sacrament none now admitted But such as piously are therto fitted To see the Surplice and such Romish trash From Parliament receive a deadly gash Wherby no Popish gestures vestures are Impos'd'gainst Conscience on Gods Saints to weare And no man forced now at Church to stay Where is no preaching to promote Gods day To see Gods Out-casts called home again And sonnes of Beliall feele just shame and pain No High-Commission Sp'rituall-Court to see Wherby Gods peoples hearts from feares are free Of their unjust Commands lawlesse taxations And all Church-wardens clear'd from vile vexations To see our Seas and Cinque-Ports fortify'd That we may und'r our Vines securely ' bide But specially to see with exultation From Both the Houses a blest Protestation Together all true english-English-hearts to tye In a blest league Romes Strumpet to defie All Popish Innovations to disdain Christs Truth toth' death constantly to maintain O who cannot these halcyon-Halcyon-dayes admire And with enflamed Zeale be set on fire To sound the praises of our bounteous Lord Who these heart-cheering comforts doth afford Unto a Nation in th' esteeme of most For Sin forsaken perishing and lost But now much like a Ship by swelling-waves Tost to and fro gaping to be the graves Of all its heartlesse Marriners but yet A sodain calm and faire windes favouring it 'T is brought in saf●ty to a harbour faire Where all arive where all preserved are So O even so thy God in mercy free O England England thus preserved thee Hopelesse and helplesse Lay this then to heart Rouse up thy Soule perform thy praising part O great King CHARLES cheer-up thy soul likewise Ponder these ponderous things arise arise High time to put-on resolutions rare To honour God who with such honours faire Hath blessed thee and thy three Kingdomes now A thorough Reformation in them vow Remember also and Commiserate Thy royall Sisters poore Palatinate Sad Germanies long lamentable woes Rochell like Rachell in her childlesse throwes Thy neare allyed Denmarke in distresse Holland thine honest ancient friend no lesse Who All with Us and on Us looke for ayd From thee great Prince who long have been ore-layd With Romish rage and Spanish cruelty Still groaning grieving by their tyranny To forward which most blessed worke behold Thy prudent Peeres resolv'd with courage bold Thy pious Prophets with their prayers addrest Thy people all with hearts and purses prest To give thee all their aide to spend their blood To hasten-on this work so great so good And O our God let thy good Spirit strike-in To make the work compleat to pull-down sin To set-up Christ in his pure powerfull throne To rule and raign in all our hearts Alone So shall we All all our remaining dayes To thee our God eternall trophies raise Of all obliged praises
