are become the objects of his rage and fury Satan had lost Heaven and he envies them Earth Their habitation in an Earthly Heaven displeaseth him because it pleaseth God They just now came out of their Creators hands endowed with a double Portion Holyness and happiness But he resolves they shall not long enjoy either Hence in the very first dawn of their Creation he contrived and accomplished their destruction He subtilly insinuates the poyson of sin by his conferences with and suggestions unto Eve and she having once tasted of the dose and allured with the deceitful pleasantness thereof to her sensual appetite communicates it to her Husband and they both derive it down unto all their natural posterity Ah! How many Murders were in this One Mankind made and ruined altogether Certainly they who plotted the blowing up of King and Kingdom in One hour they who effected the Sicilian Vespers Parisian Mattins and Irish Massacres had been all trained up and Educated in the Schools of this this old and Grand Abaddon Adam being in Honor continued not a day in it His glorious state did shine and set with the same Sun In the Morning it flourished and grew up in the Evening it was cut down and withered like the Grass He played away as a besorted Gamester his whole and all present and to come what he had in possession what he might have in Reversion at one cast Nothing was left him but his sin and curse and this he propagates unto all his Children A most sad Portion to be inherited by us Sin being now conceived doth prodigiously spawa and swarm The Old Serpent is not idle His boiling malice gives him no rest His first born like the Plague spreads its venom universally and new Monsters are hatched and produced by it every day New sins in new shapes in odious and hideous colours shew forth their heads Grace is modest Sin impudent and shameless It seeketh no disguise nor putteth on a Vizard but for its own security and in order to further mischief to perpetrate some greater Villany The Devil having set variance between God and Man will give another cast of his Office He throws a Bone of contention between Man and Man The nearest Relations the dearest Friends they that had the same flesh in their Bodies the same blood in their veins that if not Twins yet scarce divided in their age that were Nurst Fed and Educated together both alike tendered by their Indulgent and Religious Parents shall yet through his subtilty and cruelty be sundered and divided one from the other And if he cannot drag them both with himself into Hell yet will he precipitate the one by a bloody and Barbarous death into his untimely Grave and the other by a sin like his own into the bottomless Pit of destruction ere he is aware of it Cain by the instigation of the wicked one upon no provocation no offence given unless Gods gracious acceptance of Abel for his Faith and Holiness be a crime Murthers his own his only and dearest Brother Bloody Villain Thou choppest off thy right hand with thy left thou dashest out thine own Brains in dashing out his Thou destroyest his body but damnest thine own Soul Ah what grief it this to Pious Adam Oh what joy and Musick unto Hell Revenge is sweet But it s a poor revenge Satan Which ends hi thine own in thine endless destruction However the Devil hath shown the way of Murthering and bad Arts are soon learnt Any one may be an easie and early proficient in Ungodliness the whole and old World soon got the skill of it God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually The Earth also was corrupt before God and filled with Violence All flesh had perverted its way and blood touched blood There was no fair and gentle means left unessayed by God to reclaim sinners to dam up if possible the torrents of their ungodliness to stench those foul issues and frequent effusions of Innocent blood Adam and the Holy Patriarks decry it down in their Lives and Sermons Enoch the Phoenix of his Age for the life and power of Godliness shining most illustriously in his Conversation Thunders out Prophesies of dreadful Judgments against the irreligious Cainites Behold saith that Glorious Saint The Lord cometh with Holy Myriads of Angels to Execute vengeance upon all the ungodly and to convince you of your ungodliness in flames of Fire who will not be convinced by our Ministry Upon the wicked he shall Rain Snares Fire and Brimstone and an horrible Tempest This shall be the Portion of their Cup. But the Prophet is counted a Fool and the Spiritual man Mad and his Menaces of approaching wrath idle Dreams melancholly thoughts bugbears to fright Children and bublings up of his envy and malice against them Thus he and his Prophecies are despised and scornfully rejected At last fair warning and loud calls and Summons unto Repentance having been long afforded them and not accepted nor in the least improved the patience of God is tired mercy finally departs from them and Divine Justice sweeps away the Habitations and persons of those Scarlet Sinners with a deluge of Waters One would have thought that such a fearful Judgment should have cautioned afterages from ever treading in their steps But alas Posterity is grown stupid and Judgment-proof As for Gods Judgments the wicked makes a puff at them they are afar off above and out of his sight he forgets and makes no reckoning nor account of them God hath Hanged up some in Chains before their eyes Executed a whole World of Malefactors and made them an everlasting Sign and Example to them yet they willfully shut their eyes that they may not see and lock up the Doors of their hearts that they may not consider for what causes this great wrath is come upon them So that we need not wonder at Gods plaguing such willful blind Souls It is but a righteous Retribution that his Justice oweth them In as much as they regarded not the works of the Lord nor took notice of the operation of his hand he could not build them up he must totally and utterly destroy them Sinners ate the Voluntary Carvers of their own misfortunes They choose and Create unto themselves their own bane and destruction Temporal and Eternal The reading of this ensuing Narrative will be a clear proof and evidence hereof Books Printed for and are to be Sold by Francis Eglesfield at the Marygold in St. Pauls Church-Yard DIvi Britannici being a Remark upon the Lives of all the Kings of this Isle from the year of the World 855.
