with much more fore-head and lesse shame now than then as will appeare The King impeached the servant of the Lord then so the King does now The servant of the Lord made answer to his Master the clearest that ever was read The servants of the Lord do render as full and fair accompt of all their actions now Notwithstanding the king gives a Commission to the Edomite to smite all the Priests because one had done his duty then The King gives the Edomites the very same Commission now And so a City was smitten and burnt with fire then Cities and Townes yea two Kingdomes are smitten and burnt with fire now And yet the Tribes come-not-in no not yet Why I will tell you the reason for that in due time They did come-in then to help David And all true Israel will come-in anon to help the Church that we are sure of in obedience to God and in defiance of the Devill so soone as the Kings intentions shall be yet more clearly manifested our Edomites sins shall be full Israel shall sufficiently groane under such Task-Masters crying unto God against them c. when the Edomites bloudy intentions shall be yet more fully manifest and when the treachery of the Keilites and Ziphites for such we have amongst us shall be yet more fully discovered to the world and when by all this Israels sins shall be purged their hearts prepared their strong holds forts and brest works vaine confidences meant thereby are destroyed all and every one then Israels deliverance comes carried on as upon Eagles wings when Israel is very low in Davids Case their Ziglags smitten all vaine confidences their comforts taken thence and they have streng●●ened their hand in God Then as all Israel once came in to help David so will all true Christians now joyne hand and shoulder and heart together to help the Church but of this in the last place All along for I am entering into the particulars of the Story we shall read words and actions then words and actions now answering each other as face in water answers f●ce Then how heart answers heart the world will judge whether we will or no. I must observe ●ri●● H●stori●● 〈◊〉 ●● qui● falsi aud●●●●e q●●●●●ri 〈◊〉 aud●●● 〈◊〉 Ora● the Law of History I must not be so impudent as to speak what is false nor must I be so bold as to conceale the truth Specially being perswaded that the speaking out the truth now in such a Case as this may prevail with the Reader now more then if one came to him from the dead Again this comforts me all along in the things done then and now which run up so paralell each with other that yet I hope the destruction of the Kings house now will not answer the destruction then to Saul and his house It is true Never any man from that day to this houre persecu●ed David and prospered Compare it 1 Sam. 18. 17. with 31. 3. And very notable it is That Saul was wounded with those instruments of death in the enemies hand wherewith he would have had David to have been wounded and he perished by the very sword which he would have made drunk with bloud in Davids bowels 1 Sam. 31. 4. Nor was this all he would have destro●ed David that the Kingdom might not be established in Davids house and he slew all the Priests for Davids sake and so he ruined himselfe and his whole house for 1 Chron 10. 16. Saul died and his three sons and all his house died together from such a destruction the Lord deliver the King and his Kingdome And we hope the Lord will do it though the Kings hand now in the hands of bloudy and pernicious men is as rough now his intentions against the Church now are as bloudy now and as manifestly so as Sauls were against David yet we hope the destruction will not be such though God is the same and the Church as deare to him now as David was then We have onely this thred a weak support to beare up our hope herein That we read not Saul had any one Prophet nor any good man so much as is in shew with him who justified his way of persecution against David But the King is in the Schole of the Prophets has those by him eminently knowne all over the Christian world for Learning and Piety who if we beleeve heresay I beleeve it not do justifie the Kings way saying of it It is the right way and according to the Scriptures and they who are against that way do turne head against the Scripture of God the 13. to the Romans touching that matter This may be some inducement to the King to prosecute this stubborne way having such persons approving his doings The greater their sin if they do so by conniving at it or not contending against it with all their might But it may render the King more excusable a tanto then Saul was I will give a full and faire accompt of this way of persecution all the turnings and windings in it as Saul followed-on against David And we shall see how it runs-up all along with the way of persecution now And if this way prove it selfe according to the Rule and Line of the Word in any one degree or step of it If it hath any agreement with Peace Righteousnesse and Holinesse then all the true Israel of God are utterly unacquainted with the good Word of God and have erred concerning the way of Holinesse from the beginning of the world upward unto this day I will examine and ponder the Kings way what it was anciently and what it is now the severall steps and motions therein beginning with the first step as followes Chap. 2. Sauls bloudy intentions to David varnished over with faire Words and lovely Actions These are compared with Words and Actions now And so all the most Remarkable Passages and Acts of Grace which passed between the King and Parliament since they sate till the War brake-forth are Recorded and Weighed but found Light PEace is in Sauls tongue War is in his heart There he conceived mischiefe but yet that he might not make his wicked thoughts legible to all Israel that they might not break-out at his mouth nor at his fingers end as they have done before a few in the Court he vailed the peoples eyes by meanes we shall fully understand by and by He persecutes David with his tongue and hand too but so priva●ely and cunningly that the people remote from the Court could read no such thing but that Sauls tongue was for David and his hand too Nor would they en●er●aine a thought that Saul the chiefe Master and Dispencer of Justice would do unjustly True indeed it was That Saul had almost tantum non pinned or nailed Davids head and the wall together Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with his javeline a 1 Sam. 19. 10.

Englands Alarm to VVar against the Beast By command from Heaven and His Israels Example upon Earth comming in to rescue David out of the hands of a cruell Lord and a bloudy Edomite upon the same ground from Scripture and Reason Israel had then and Christians now To resist the Prince ruling in the Aire and with the Kings of the Earth In 3. Sections Wherein I. The History of Sauls War against David is so related from the sacred Text that it relates in whole and in part to the three last yeeres affaires The most remarkable Passages between the King and the Parliament before the War brake forth II. And to the bloudy Execution of the Edomite in this War against the Parliament in Ireland and England ever since III. Here is also excellent Reason given Why the Tribes came not in sooner and sufficient Reason Why they came in so Armed at the last Relating fully to this present time The wonderfull Providences The admirable Deliverances Strange Discoveries c.

The sure mercies of David I can tell my selfe now I shall against my Rule speak excellent things in the eares of a foole shew him the Sun in your hand as the Proverbe is he will not see it Tell him it is the Word of God what cares he he will not heare it Tell him it is a Pearle he regards it not A very swine A brutish man Mad upon his Idols Yet let us do our endeavours to make him sober Surely this before him will do it if any thing under heaven can make him heare and see both For he will see the Devill here all along acting a bloudy part and if the Devill be not in him he will see himselfe and his owne Actings in the Devill He will heare two men speaking to him from the dead also he will see all their notorious violences acted over afresh by his own hand now He must heare the voice of the Eving God too and see what end the LORD makes Those Persons all whom he and his fellowes have dealt so hatefully with shall be set on high before his face the higher the lower he would have pressed them downe there singing the high praises of their GOD and himselfe amongst others his fellow Malignants laid low as contemptible as their own dung gnawing their tongues for paine Whether he will heare or whether he will forbeare it is at his perill Let him that is filthy be filthy still and let the foole hold fast his folly sober men will heare and be instructed To the most Malignant Reader IT is granted on both sides there are but two That now is the time all over the Christian world when Kings go forth to battell All their Subjects are engaged now It is high time then to consider the Case weigh it well with all our hearts and with all our soules There are but two great Commanders in the world God and the Devill All serve under th●se two Another Commander there is we call it mans Will and boasteth great things but an underling it is and subservient obeyed in reference to the other two who rule in chiefe so the question is single Who must be hearkened to or obeyed Not whether Gods Command or mans Will contrary thereunto Though this is the greatest question in the world and most stubbornly argued nor will it be answered no not when it is answered and fairly proposed to every mans consideration judge yet so it was answered more then sixteen hundred yeeres ago therefore Act. 14. 19 it cannot be the question now But this Whether God is to be obeyed or the Devill I confesse it is a strange question But it were a stranger answer and argued more then a distemper in the brain To say That the Devill is to be obeyed and God is to be resisted And yet so much thou must say if thou wilt accuse Israel now for taking up defensive Armes being charged thereunto in obedience to God and in defiance of the Devill for this is the very Case which we will propose in Israels Case fi●st and anon bring-it-up to our times and make every line then run parallell with our Case now This was Israels Case All true Israel once tooke shield and buckler came in so armed to rescue David Did they well It must be granted they did well and their bounden duty in rescuing David and in him themselves out of the hand of a cruell Lord and bloody Edomite Indeed it would argue more then indiscretion in us to censure all Israel at that point for taking up defensive Armes though we could give no reason for what they did But the sacred Text is cleare in the point That the Tribes came-in not with an intent to resist Saul their King no nor the Edomite neither and that a Malignant may think strange being not like but the same now with the Edomite then a bloody adversary to Israel and yet Israel not resist him But to resist the evill Spirit commanding in chiefe with both This evill Spirit commanded in Saul else he had not throwne a javelin a● David quickly after at his owne son Jonathan nor had Saul after all this sealed a Commission to an Edomite to execute the pleasure of his owne will upon Israel 2. And the evill Spirit ruled in the Edomite too else he had not executed Sauls Commission to destroy a City of Priests man and beast there The Tribes then came-in not to resist Saul but the perverse will in Saul acted by the evill Spirit upon Saul They took up defensive Armes to withstand the notorious violences the astings of Sauls and the Edomites wills acted by their evill Spirits These outrages
