Representatives of this Nation and the godly party therein by Pole hath obliged it self unto before God and the whole Christian world in three severall Declarations First in the Remonstrance of the State of the Kingdom published by the Parlament in the year 1641. where the words in the close thereof are these Wee will labour by all offices of friendship to unite the forreign Churches with us in the same cause and to seek their liberty safety and prosperity as bound thereunto by charity unto them and by wifedom for our own good for by this means our strength shall bee increased and by a mutuall concurrence to the same common end we shall bee able to procure the good of the whole body of the Protestant profession Secondly in the Nationall League and Covenant the Godly party which hath entred thereinto doth in a most solemn manner declare that our affectionate desire is That the success of our proceedings may bee deliverance and safetie to all Gods people and encouragement to other Christian Churches groaning under and in danger of the yoak of Antichristian Tyranny to join with us in the same or like association and covenant to the glory of God the enlargement of the Kingdom of Christ and the Peace and tranquility of Christian Kingdoms and Common-wealths Thirdly in the Parlament held in the year 1653. the Declaration published the 12 of July is full of this design For being addressed To all Gods people aswell in neighbour Nations as in this And expressing A great expectation of the breaking forth of the Kingdom of Christ in all the Earth They manifest their faith and hope concerning this businesse by these words That God will not suffer his people here to deal fasly with him in his cause till hee hath accomplshed his great work and brought about his great ends Whereupon their earnest praier is put up unto him That God would unite their hearts unto himself that they may bee one among themselvs and with all the people of God who are members of the body of Christ and that they may bee fitted and used as Instruments in the hand of God for a more full and clear revealing of the Lord Jesus and a right promulgation of the blessed Gospell and the true interest of his Kingdom and the advance thereof that oppressing yoaks may bee broken and all burthens removed that his Tabernacle may be fully raised up and his Temple built by his Spirit that all his people may have one lip one heart one consent one shoulder to bow down worship him that the envie of Judah and Ephraim may bee taken away that they may be one in one fold with one shepherd that the swords and spears may be turned into plough-shares and pruning hooks and the Earth filled with the knowledg of the Lord as the waters cover the Sea Now where so many solemn Engagements and Resolutions are taken up and made known as matters of conscience to be prosecuted in the cause of God there certainly God will expect some reall endeavours for a performance chiefly then when the opportunity is so fairly offered as now it is and not onely so but when wee are called upon to imbrace it as now wee are Sir Edwin Sands in his Book called Europae Speculum or a view of the State of Religion in the Western parts of the World Pag. 183. THe end of these unhappy differences in Religion between the Reformed and Lutheran Protestants will be that their enemies shall laugh when themselves shall have cause to weep unless the graciousness of God stir up som worthy Princes of renown and reputation with both the sides to enterpose their wifedom industry and authority for the uniting these factions or at leastwise for reconciling and composing those differences in some tolerable sort a work of immortall fame and desert and worthy of none other but of them of whom this wicked base World is not worthy
