A79856	A two-fold shaking of the earth: or, an exposition on Heb. 12.26, 27 Wherein is shewed, the first shaking of the earth, seems to be meant the putting down of the late King and bishops: the later shaking, a change of the present government. And reasons given for both. Also how, and in what manner this later earth-shaking may be according to scripture-prophesie: namely, by that earth-quake, Rev. 11.13 which is likewise opened. Lastly, here are many reasons given, why it may be hoped that this present parliament will prove to be that earth-quake (or at least begin the work) whereby the good old cause will be revived, the just rights of the people restored, and the nation setled upon a lasting and durable foundation of truth and righteousness.

Commonwealth as now established without a King or House of Lords And this Ingagement was generally taken by such as were then counted well-affected Object Though it cannot be denyed but this was a most eminent Shaking yet how is it proved that in the Change of the English-Monarchy to a Commonwealth a Scripture-Prophesie was fulfill'd and particularly Heb. 12.26 27 Answ If it be granted it was a SHAKING and an eminent one too it will easily be proved being in England a Scripture-Prophesie was fulfill'd and particularly Heb. 12. For the Scripture-Prophesies of the last times concern the Churches and people of God and where these are there may we expect will come to pass what things are foretold in the word of God there are many changes and alterations of States and Policies in the world at this time of which nothing in Scripture is foretold nevertheless where Gods people are and Jesus Christ is truly worshipped there cannot be any such shaking I speak according to that light I have in the things of God but in order to the fulfilling of some Prophesie What thou seest write in a Book and send unto the seven Churches in Asia Rev. 1.11 2. If England be one of the ten Kingdoms in Dan. 7.7 and Rev. 17.12 as it is generally held yea the first that constituted it self a free and absolute State when the Romane Empire was broken to peeces then I think it may certainly be concluded that the Holy Ghost in Heb. 12. hath reference to the shaking of which we speak my reason is this What was revealed to Daniel John and Paul was by one Spirit and concerned one thing as to the shaking of the ten Kingdoms 3. That the first shaking was by a VOICE I think there is very much in it as I have hinted before Truly more VOICE then PROMISE My meaning is that many people in their rising against Monarchy and Episcopacy were carried forth beyond their own principles A VOICE there was that is God mightily appear'd in them and by them but no Promise that is they had no Scripture-light for what they did but only followed Providence opportunity victory self-interest Reader mistake me not I do not say there was not Scripture-ground for putting down Monarchy and Episcopacie I beleeve there was but this I say many who had a great hand therein did it not upon that account for there are many at this day and some I know who were as active and forward as any in the thing and gave their Vote against the King the Bishops and House of Lords yet now none more earnest for a King and House of Lords then they yea and for Episcopacie too if it fall in with their Interest 4. Whereas it was Gods voice that shook the first Earth I hope none will be offended neither Independent Presbyterian or Baptiz'd if we say such as account themselves the Lords Embassadours Angels of Churches the Ministers of Jesus Christ c. are the persons by whom the Lord chiefly speaks and his VOICE as John was in the Wilderness This being so by whose voice then was the Earth shaken I answer By no voice so effectually as that voice which came out of the Temple Oh! how did this VOICE ring thorow the Nation calling upon the good people every where in their Sermons and Writings to come forth and help the Lord against the mighty never did this VOICE cease but was still crying in the ears of the Parliament and Army SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE till they had shaken King and Bishops out of the three Nations It is very requisite as we have mentioned the Voice from the Temple so to give some instances how shaking it was to have the late King cut off I will begin with Mr. Burroughs because I suppose what he wrote was the VOICE of all his Independent Brethren in that particular Thus he tels us You must observe That every one is subject to the Higher Powers Mark it is not to man first but it is to the Power Let every soul be subject to the Higher Power where-ever this Power lieth It is not to the will of man that hath Power but it is to the Power of the man Now the Power the Authority is that THAT A MAN HATH IN A LEGAL WAY Again in another place There is saith he no Authority we are subject to now but according to the Laws and Constitutions of the Country where we live When things are brought into a Law and be according to the Agreements and Covenants of the place and Country wherein we live c. then the power of God is in it But we must enquire whether it be a Power On Hos Chap. 1.

Mr. Bridge his Voice shall be next in his answer to Doctor Fern thus Did not Athaliah remain as a conqueress six yeers and who knows not that she was lawfully thrust from the Throne again by a stronger hand then her own Meer conquest being nothing else but an unjust usurpation And if the Conquerer rule the whole Kingdom keep them under by conquest only WHY MAY NOT THE SUBJECT RISE AND TAKE UP ARMS TO DELIVER THEMSELVES FROM THAT SLAVERY Mr. Bridge against Dr. Fern Sect. 4. pag. 42. But one thing is remarkable what searching Books there was and citing the opinion of men Truly I think there was scarce a learned man whether Papist or Protestant if he had written against Usurpers Tyrants violalating the Laws Rights and Liberties of the People but he was brought forth by those who defended the Parliaments cause against the King To omit many how often is Alstedius quoted for saying A Tyr an t without Title who is an Invader every private person may and ought to remove for he is not a King but a private man who doth invade the Country as an Enemy Alsted Cas Con. cap. 16.

Again Dr. Willet Where the Kingdom is usurped without any right as by Athaliah or where the land is oppressed by Invaders as in the time of the Macchabees in these Cases there is less question to be made of resistance by the general consent of the States On Rom. 13. pag. 592. Neither is King James left out The publick Laws saith he make it lawful and free for any private person to enterprise against an usurper of the Kingdom Every man saith Tertullian is a Soldier enrolled to bear arms against all Traytors and publick Enemies In his Remonstr pag. 216. I shall not name any more cited by them Touching this Temple-Voice wherein Mr. John Goodwin was louder then most of his fellows there are 5 things to be seen in their writing when they stood with the Parliament against the King as their State Principles 1.
