A53112	The complaint of English subjects delivered in two parts. First part, is the complaint, of the poor, middle, and meanest sorts of subjects, concerning their bodily assistance. Second part, is the true Christians complaint, against vice, and wickedness, for the good of their soul's health. Also, werein is set forth, the late prodigious growth, of atheism, errors, and vice: with a call to repentance. As also, how needful it is, in these times, for every one of us, first of all, to look into our own hearts, and endeavour to amend what is their amiss. And lastly, a brief discourse, concerning our late unfruitful, and cold summers: as also, what is thought to be the real causes of it, by way of opposition, to the opinion of astrologers. By Richard Newnam of Tiverton in Devonshire.	Newnam, Richard.	1700 (1700)	Wing N935; ESTC R218651	71,890	130

be_v gather_v together_o against_o we_o and_o then_o i_o find_v immediate_o upon_o the_o gibeonite_n request_n joshua_n with_o all_o the_o mighty_a man_n of_o valour_n ascend_v from_o gilgal_n and_o then_o the_o lord_n to_o encourage_v joshua_n say_v unto_o they_o fear_v they_o not_o for_o i_o have_v deliver_v they_o into_o thy_o hand_n there_o shall_v not_o a_o man_n of_o they_o stand_v before_o thou_o and_o thus_o joshua_n be_v encourage_v by_o the_o lord_n and_o therefore_o he_o go_v up_o from_o gilgal_n all_o night_n and_o come_v sudden_o upon_o they_o and_o then_o as_o the_o scripture-text_n say_v the_o lord_n discomfit_v they_o before_o israel_n and_o slay_v they_o with_o a_o great_a slaughter_n at_o gibeon_n and_o chase_v they_o along_o the_o way_n that_o go_v to_o bethhoron_a and_o smite_v they_o to_o azekah_n and_o unto_o mak-kedah_a and_o more_o the_o text_n say_v this_o and_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v as_o they_o flee_v from_o before_o israel_n and_o be_v in_o the_o go_n down_o to_o bethhoron_a that_o the_o lord_n cast_v down_o great_a hailstone_n from_o heaven_n upon_o they_o unto_o azekah_n and_o they_o die_v and_o then_o the_o text_n say_v in_o these_o word_n they_o be_v more_o which_o die_v with_o the_o hailstone_n than_o they_o who_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n slay_v with_o the_o sword_n and_o more_o the_o text_n say_v then_o speak_v joshua_n to_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o day_n when_o the_o lord_n deliver_v up_o the_o amorites_n before_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o be_v say_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o israel_n sun_n stand_v thou_o still_o upon_o gibeon_n and_o thou_o moon_n in_o the_o valley_n of_o ajalon_n and_o the_o sun_n stand_v still_o and_o the_o moon_n stay_v until_o the_o people_n have_v avenge_v themselves_o upon_o their_o enemy_n and_o then_o the_o text_n say_v be_v not_o this_o write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o jasher_n so_o the_o sun_n stand_v still_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o heaven_n and_o haste_v not_o to_o go_v down_o about_o a_o whole_a day_n and_o there_o be_v no_o day_n like_o that_o before_o it_o or_o after_o it_o that_o the_o lord_n hearken_v to_o the_o voice_n of_o a_o man._n all_o this_o at_o large_a you_o may_v read_v it_o in_o the_o 10_o chapter_n of_o the_o book_n of_o joshua_n and_o now_o the_o use_n that_o i_o shall_v make_v of_o this_o be_v as_o follow_v and_o first_o of_o all_o i_o find_v that_o notwithstanding_o the_o gibeonite_n several_a evasion_n which_o they_o use_v in_o make_v up_o their_o league_n of_o peace_n with_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n yet_o god_n be_v please_v to_o own_v they_o because_o he_o know_v that_o the_o gibeonite_n in_o their_o heart_n believe_v in_o his_o word_n and_o dread_v his_o people_n israel_n and_o what_o they_o then_o do_v god_n himself_o know_v that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o deceive_v the_o child_n of_o israel_n of_o any_o of_o their_o worldly_a riches_n or_o to_o do_v they_o any_o bodily_a harm_n but_o that_o it_o be_v only_o out_o of_o a_o innocent_a fear_n to_o save_v their_o own_o life_n for_o they_o then_o think_v with_o themselves_o that_o if_o they_o shall_v then_o have_v appear_v plain_o unto_o joshua_n that_o then_o they_o shall_v not_o have_v obtain_v their_o peace_n with_o israel_n and_o by_o this_o we_o may_v see_v that_o in_o all_o thing_n god_n observe_v the_o will_n of_o man_n and_o that_o he_o take_v for_o their_o deed_n whether_o it_o be_v in_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a or_o whether_o it_o be_v in_o thing_n that_o be_v evil_a two_o i_o find_v that_o at_o any_o time_n whatsoever_o when_o god_n shall_v think_v it_o fit_a he_o can_v then_o immediate_o augment_v or_o diminish_v the_o force_n or_o influence_n of_o all_o the_o heavenly_a body_n or_o change_n or_o stop_v the_o course_n of_o the_o sun_n moon_n or_o star_n or_o he_o can_v continue_v or_o alter_v the_o whole_a frame_n of_o nature_n and_o from_o order_n turn_v into_o disorder_n all_o the_o other_o elementary_a part_n of_o this_o world_n whatsoever_o and_o how_o often_o soever_o and_o that_o to_o what_o use_n or_o purpose_n soever_o whether_o in_o way_n of_o mercy_n or_o judgement_n and_o therefore_o i_o say_v again_o that_o it_o must_v by_o these_o argument_n consequent_o follow_v that_o all_o these_o our_o late_a unfruitful_a year_n be_v by_o the_o immediate_a and_o providential_a hand_n of_o god_n so_o order_v to_o be_v and_o not_o by_o the_o natural_a course_n of_o the_o heavenly_a body_n only_o and_o according_o to_o their_o first_o ordination_n as_o our_o astrologer_n do_v affirm_v it_o so_o to_o be_v but_o how_o disagreeable_a such_o opinion_n be_v to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n i_o say_v judge_v you_o but_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v true_a and_o thereby_o i_o have_v make_v it_o manifest_v that_o the_o art_n of_o astrology_n be_v a_o fallible_a art_n and_o for_o the_o better_a confirmation_n of_o it_o i_o can_v well_o omit_v that_o precedent_n of_o good_a king_n hezekiah_n for_o when_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n tell_v he_o thus_o say_v the_o lord_n set_v thy_o house_n in_o order_n for_o thou_o shall_v die_v and_o not_o live_v then_o immediate_o hezekiah_n turn_v his_o face_n to_o the_o wall_n and_o with_o prayer_n and_o tear_n plead_v with_o god_n how_v he_o have_v walk_v before_o he_o in_o truth_n and_o with_o a_o perfect_a heart_n which_o prevail_v so_o far_o with_o the_o lord_n that_o he_o alter_v his_o decrec_n and_o before_o isaiah_n be_v go_v out_o of_o the_o middle_a court_n of_o the_o house_n or_o palace_n of_o king_n hezekiah_n the_o lord_n command_v the_o prophet_n isaiah_n to_o return_v back_o to_o hezekiah_n and_o to_o tell_v he_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v hear_v his_o prayer_n and_o see_v his_o tear_n for_o which_o he_o will_v heal_v he_o of_o his_o sickness_n and_o also_o on_o the_o three_o day_n he_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o go_v up_o into_o the_o house_n of_o the_o lord_n as_o also_o that_o the_o lord_n will_v then_o add_v unto_o the_o day_n of_o hezekiah_n fifteen_o year_n but_o hezekiah_n have_v on_o his_o spirit_n some_o doubt_n desire_v a_o sign_n whereby_o he_o may_v know_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v heal_v he_o which_o desire_n of_o good_a hezekiah_n god_n comply_v with_o and_o give_v he_o a_o sign_n which_o be_v that_o the_o sun_n shall_v go_v backward_o ten_o degree_n which_o thing_n be_v make_v manifest_a by_o the_o shadow_n go_v backward_o ten_o degree_n after_o it_o be_v go_v down_o ten_o degree_n in_o the_o dial_n of_o ahaz_n as_o you_o may_v read_v it_o at_o large_a in_o the_o second_o book_n of_o king_n the_o 20_o chapter_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o that_o chapter_n unto_o the_o 12_o verse_n and_o this_o i_o offer_v at_o large_a only_o to_o prove_v that_o god_n can_v as_o well_o now_o in_o our_o day_n take_v off_o the_o warm_a beam_n and_o most_o comfortable_a influence_n of_o the_o sun_n from_o the_o earth_n by_o way_n of_o judgement_n on_o the_o wicked_a as_o well_o as_o to_o make_v the_o sun_n go_v backward_o from_o his_o course_n by_o way_n of_o mercy_n for_o a_o sign_n only_o to_o satisfy_v the_o doubt_n of_o one_o single_a man_n and_o that_o because_o he_o have_v in_o he_o a_o upright_a and_o perfect_a heart_n and_o now_o i_o say_v by_o this_o place_n of_o scripture_n as_o well_o as_o in_o several_a other_o place_n of_o scripture_n we_o may_v see_v that_o prayer_n and_o tear_n prevail_v much_o with_o god_n when_o they_o have_v be_v offer_v up_o unto_o he_o with_o a_o true_a devout_a and_o sincere_a heart_n for_o be_v not_o david_n prayer_n hear_v by_o the_o lord_n and_o his_o desire_n grant_v unto_o he_o from_o time_n to_o time_n when_o he_o pray_v that_o he_o may_v be_v deliver_v out_o of_o his_o affliction_n and_o from_o the_o malice_n of_o his_o enemy_n read_v all_o his_o psalm_n throughout_o and_o in_o many_o of_o they_o you_o will_v find_v how_o much_o david_n depend_v upon_o prayer_n and_o how_o often_o from_o time_n to_o time_n david_n request_n be_v grant_v to_o he_o by_o prayer_n again_o i_o say_v read_v the_o first_o chapter_n of_o the_o first_o book_n of_o samuel_n but_o more_o particular_o observe_v the_o 10_o verse_n and_o so_o onward_o to_o the_o 21_o verse_n and_o there_o you_o may_v find_v how_o much_o the_o prayer_n of_o hannah_n the_o wife_n of_o elkanah_n prevail_v with_o the_o lord_n when_o they_o be_v by_o she_o offer_v up_o with_o

set_v forth_o all_o these_o my_o follow_a discourse_n naked_o plain_o and_o innocent_o without_o have_v in_o i_o any_o manner_n of_o self-intrest_n pride_n or_o vain_a glory_n envy_n or_o malice_n
