This being the day publiquely set apart and for six houres together in Christ-Church solemnly spent in the exercise of Humiliation First Mr. Cox in a Sermon never to be forgotten dischargeth his conscience and finding in the whole Scripture no words more agreeable to his principles against Church-separation he takes the 19 Verse of Judes Epistle for his Text Thus These be the who separate themselves sensual having not the Spirit At the naming of the words presently there fell a kinde of spirit of Prophecie upon all the Auditors supposing by the very bending of his bow in the text what the mark was at present and partly present at which he principally aimed And so he proceeded to discover the naked beauty of truth so long concealed After many judicious and pious Observations about the circumstances of his Text he fell plainly to work telling us that in the notorious and general iniquity of separation the people of God were extreamly guilty and how that the gatherings of Churches out of Churches under the phantastick notion of non-communion with the unregenerate had in it not so much of Serpents head it being against all reason as of his tail in the oblique windings of avarice pride and indiscretion the counterfeit champions of Devotion Then he informs when this sin of Separation took beginning and putting a disparagement upon its pedegree he quarters it with the Levitical coat of Corah and the rest of his damnable Separatists But with some supposed differences they onely aiming at equality among their brethren these at superiority They devoured by the earth these in their large possessions devouring more earth then indeed the moderation of the former Ecclesiasticall Laws allowed to be Canonical After this he descends to his Exhortations of the Magistrate and the concerned people The Magistrate to pluck the branches of Separation out of the fire a work to be done rather then spoken of Then the concerned people that they indeavour to quench the flames upon a double account for first they are generally branded besides this which will be matter of amazement in settled times these fires are of their own perticular kindling exclusively to the publick authority of the Magistrate And to speak plainly without a complement to Church Interest the fire of martyrdome this directed to the communion the other to the division of the Church is in conscience more capable of election supposing that Christ and Mammon are two distinct persons When Mr. Cox had run his race in this present occasion the worke of Humiliation was carried on by Mr. Adare in prayer with much ardency of zeal effectually to Gods Glory After him Mr. Charnock ascends who after the sweet incense of his prayer to God turned himselfe upon the Auditors in the oblation of this Text viz Isaiah 1.25 26. After many holy observations the principall part of his devotion agreeable to the nature of the times was to affert the necessity of a fixed and standing magistracy since the houour of publick authority is never lesse triumphant than when it rides in a chariot whose wheels being alwayes turning the people find nothing but over-turnings in the predominant resolutions of sundry factions Here he inserted many documents as to the spirituall interest of Church and State Then applying himselfe to the Learned Universities of our Nations they being as the fountains of the deep and the windows of Heaven he seemed to ground on their corruption an unavoydable danger that a deluge of error may overwhelme the face of our Nations especially in these times where there is more danger threatned by the overflowing of the waters then care taken in the building of an Ark for the preservation of common interest To this exercise of Humiliation the sacred Seale was affixed by Mr. Bains in prayer of whose words the best account that can be given will manifest it self in the heavenly blessings of our proceedings Onely thus is noted of him that in the Pillar of the wildernesse when nothing but the cloud appears he followes his conscience But when the other face is turned with light he follows reason March 9. Ordered That Sir John Clotworthy Dr. Jones and Col. Hill be and are hereby appointed a Committee to return the thanks of this Convention to M. Cox M. Charnock M. Adare and M.
