needie rid them out of the hand of the wicked c. Be wise now therfore O ye Kings Psal 2.10 be instructed ye iudges of the earth Serue the Lord with feare and reioyce with trembling Kisse the sonne lest he be angrie and ye perish c. Repent as Iohn the Baptist lykewise admonisheth for the Kingdome of heauen is at hand Mat. 3.2 Now is the axe laid to the roote of the trees And let vs all repent euen from the highest to the Lowest as did the Niniuites at the preaching of Ionas Ionah 3.4 yet fortie daies and Nineue shall be ouerthrowne And mourne not onely outwardly but inwardly for our sins which indeed are the chieffe cause of all these disasters which haue fallen vpon our neighbour churches countries yea Princes and great personages and may lykewise fall vpon vs how soone we knowe not Luk. 13.4 For were they onelie sinners aboue all others vpon whom the tower in Silo fell and slue them I tell you nay saith our Sauiour but except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish And yet not to be lamented but our sins great losse thereby as before 1 Pet. 4.7 And was that euer renowmed and neuer sufficiently lamented King of Sweden that died in battaile as did Josiah The King of Bohemia that died immediatly after And that hopefull yong Prince his son that was drowned before sinners aboue other Kings and Princes their neighbours I tell you nay but except ye repent ye shall likewise perish Two Kings at once so sodainle to be taken away one after another the circumstance of time also before mentioned considered wee must needs acknowledge the very finger of God and iudgement of God therein to be admired and feared of all others For when iudgement begineth at the house of God as now it doth the house of Sued for Sued is Deus Gods house what shall be the end of them that obey not the Gospell of God They obey not the Gospell of God answeareth the eeho againe who either offend or doe not defend the Gospell of God to the vtmost of their power qui non propulsant iniuriam c. Or was the German nation or other our Neighbour nations vpon whom Gods heauy iudgements of war and other miseries are fallen greater sinners than we I tell you nay but except we repent we shall all likewise perish Isa 60.12 1. Sam. 12 25. Regnum quod non servierit Deo peribit that Kingdome which will not serue the Lord shall perish for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it Repent therfore for the Kingdome of heauen is at hand at hand answereth the echo againe And so I conclude praying God to forgiue our sins which haue caused these iudgements and vpon our repentance to raise vp Sauiours and deliuerers of his Church as I hope he will more and more to his glory and the finall confusion of his enemies both open and secret Gog and Magog now in these last dayes Reu. 20.8 before the end of the world very neare approaching to be vtterly destroyed vtterly destroyed answereth the echo againe Amen Amen IHS IHS IHS Help vs to fight this day to the honour of thy name against these enemies of thy Church and Kingdome this legion of deuils deuils incarnat Psal 3.1 for they are manie manie answereth the echo that rise op against vs c. Manie and mightie And open our eyes the eyes of all those who are to fight thy battels as thou didst the eyes of that seruant of Elisha at his prayer 2 King 6 16.
