what they Sow in Weakness in whom the Great and the Mighty God doth Raise in Power or else they do but Undervalue their own Labours and Encourage their Adversaries For it is not enough for the Ministers of the Gospel to Preach the Word of God in Season and out of Season but they ought to mind who hath Believed their Report and to whom is the Arm of the Lord Revealed For his Arm is very long and very strong and that his Enemies will know in these Days of the Gospel and in the Reign of our Royal Soveraign to their great Shame and Overthrow The Great and the Mighty God that gives Life to a Worm can give Power to a Man to make all his Enemies throughout the whole World to Tremble And that without having a Sword in his Hand or Men or Money at Command Therefore as my Heart is Ingaged for the God of Heaven so it is Inraged against all them that do Slight and Undervalue his Holy Word and Question his Mighty Power By the Power of God I am what I am and will Labour to do what I can that his Name and Works throughout the whole World may be known to be most Glorious and His Majesty of Great Britain's Royal Person Crown and Kingdoms most Renowned and Famous among all and above all Heathen and Popish Kings Priests Princes and Emperors in the World If ever there was a time for to manifest the Power of Faith for the great Honour and Renown of England's Royal Church and State it is in such a time when that too many do Question the Truth of it and few brings forth the Fruit of it which is Love and Obedience to God and Man Great is the Power of Faith that doth inable a Mortal Man to have Power with the God of Heaven to get Power from him and to Act with Power for him and that in the worst of times and before the best of Men in these Days of the Gospel and in the Reign of our Royal Soveraign His Majesty of Great Britain That among all People in all Nations there may be a general Reformation Throughout the whole World there must be but one Religion and that is the Protestant Religion as it is Establish'd in the Church of England for it is the true Religion because it doth hold forth and declare the knowledge of the true God and Jesus Christ whom he hath sent without Believing in him and willing to be Ruled by him there is not any of the Sons and Daughters of Men that can be Saved As for the Church of Rome her Children cannot Learn true Religion because their Teachers are False Prophets and Deceivers Instead of Consolation they do many times meet with Condemnation and instead of Salvation they be Exposed to great Damnation When the Blind Lead the Blind they do fall into the Ditch When the People are Ignorant and their Teachers not Sound in the Faith there cannot be a true Church nor a good State The Church of Rome will in these Days of the Gospel and in the Raign of our Royal Soveraign His Majesty of Great Britain be soon brought down because that they stand upon a Sandy Foundation as Tradition and Lying Wonders And their Trust and Considence it is in an Arm of Flesh which is Carnal Wisdom Power and Strength which has Decieved many and will Deceive them What saith the Lord whose Word shall stand and prevail when all their Wisdom Power and Strength their Pride and Glory shall fail Thus saith the Lord Cursed be the Man that trusteth in Man and maketh Flesh his Arm Cursed be the Turk the Pope the French King and the King of Spain and all those that do use their Wisdom their Power and their Strength to hinder the Gospel in any Nation that it should not prevail The Jews that do slight the Gospel and deny Christ cannot be Saved but by looking up upon him whom they have Pierced and Crucified The Proud Turk cannot be Saved by his Mahomet It must be by the Gospel which doth hold forth Jesus Christ who is the Lord of Life and the King of Glory who is ready and willing in all Nations to save Sinners that will deny their own Carnal Wisdom Power and Strength he will give them Divine Wisdom Power and Strength which will Enable them that do Injoy it for to Understand the mind of God to do the will of God and to Injoy the Favour of the Everliving God which is better than Life or all the Delights of this World Because that the Church of England has kept the Word of Gods Patience he will keep her in the hour of Temptation which is come to try all Nations in these Days of the Gospel and in the Reign of our Royal Soveraign His Majesty of Great Britain Great will be the Peace and the Prosperity of the Church of Christ throughout the whole World For the Lord will Judge among al Nations by his Word and Spirit and will Rebuke all them that will not submit to the Gospel of his Son which is the only means that the Wisdom of the Father has appointed for the Saving of lost Man so that they that have trusted to their Wisdom their Power and their Strength will beat their Swords into Plow Shares and their Spears into Pruining Hooks For Nation shall not lift up Sword against Nation neither in these Days of the Gospel shall they learn War any more as they have done but great will be the Joy and Triumph of the Church of England Great will be the Honour and Exaltation of our Royal Soveraign His Majesty of Great Britain And great will be the Peace and the Prosperity of many Kingdoms So that in the Reign of our Royal Soveraign many Nations will be freed from Slavery and throughout the whole World there will be great Joy Peace and Prosperity This I Declare but not by my own Wisdom and Power nor by the Wisdom and Power of any Mortal Men but by the Wisdom and Power of the God of Heaven who doth all things in Heaven and in Earth according to the Counsel of his own Will and that when and by whom he will that so all the Glory may Redound to him and that no Flesh should Glory before him This great and mighty God who is the Searcher of all Hearts and has the command over all Spirits who can speak Peace when he please and by whom he please to a Person or to a Nation has stirr'd me up to Engage with him and has given me Wisdom Power and Athority from his Word and Spirit for to understand his mind and to make it known in due time for the great Joy Peace and Prosperity of Mankind Had any one have promised to give me Ten Thousand Pound for to Engage in so Noble a Design I should not have Ventured my Life Endangered my Liberty for to Engage in a Business of so High a Nature that I have neither President Example or

FOR ENGLANDS Information c. IN these days of the Gospel and in the Reign of our Royal Soveraign His Majesty of Great Britain great things are to be done and brought about for the Glory and the great Glory of the God of Heaven for the Credit of his Holy Gospel for the great Honour and Renown of the Protestant Religion for the great Exaltation of our Royal Soveraign His Majesty of Great Britain above all Heathen Popish Kings Priests Princes and Emperors in the World that so many Nations may be freed from Slavery and throughout the whole World there may be great Joy Peace and Prosperity which will be brought about in these days of the Gospel and in the Reign of our Royal Soveraign but not by the Wisdom and the Power of Mortal Men but by the Wisdom and the Power of the God of Heaven but he has stirr'd me up for the Glory of his great Name to have his Enemies brought to shame and his Annointed His Majesty of Great Britain and the Church of England throughout the whole World to great Honour Renown and Fame for to make use of the Wisdom the Power and the Strength of Men but not to trust to any of them In these days of the Gospel and in the Reign of our Royal Soveraign will the Righteous Flourish and in his days there will be abundance of Peace so that Righteousness will run down like a mighty Stream and Truth and Peace will kiss each other so that His Majesties Royal Throne will be established in Righteousness and the Workers of Iniquity the Seed of Evil Doers the Children of Disobedience who are Unbelieving Jews Brutish Atheists Wicked and Bloody Papists and Rebellious Dissenters and Sectaries will be afraid and ashamed to come into His Majesties Royal Presence so that His Majesties Royal Court will be the most Holiest Court in the World and these sinful and divided Kingdoms that have for a long time been vexed and perplexed with Contentions and Divisions will become the most Renowned Kingdoms under the Heavens for Unity Peace and Concord for Piety and Vertue for Wisdom Power and Strength for Honour Riches and great Glory so that in these days of the Gospel and in the Reign of our Royal Soveraign we shall soon become the Wonder and the Glory of the World the Crown of Kingdoms the Desire and the Delight of Nations the Joy of the whole Earth and the City of the Great King who can and will give us every good thing that is suitable and seasonable profitable comfortable and advantagious for the great Honour and Exaltation of his Annointed His Majesty of Great Britain and for the great Joy Peace and Prosperity of many Kingdoms which will bring great Joy and Triumph to the Church of England and great Shame Contempt and Terror to the Turk the Pope and the Devil and all the Workers of Evil to him that believeth all things are possible though to the Eye of Sense and Reason it may seem very difficult that which is above Nature will be brought about by him that is partaker of the Divine Nature and that without having a Sword in the Hand or Men or Money at Command Mans Extremity it is Gods Opportunity for to help a Person a Family a City and a Kingdom when that many Wise Strong Rich and Learned Men may be at a stand for to bring Order out of Confusion Light out of Darkness Good out of Evil and Peace out of Trouble then the Lord of Hosts who has all Power in his own Hand and all Men and Angels at Command knows when how and by whom he pleaseth for to make bare his Arm though it be by a weak and an unlikely Man for his Arm is very long and very strong and that his Enemies will know in these days of the Gospel and in the Reign of our Royal Soveraign to their great shame and overthrow Carolus jj Rex HONI SOIT QVI MAL Y PENSE The Power of Faith it is not in making of many words or in taking up the Sword that is made by Mortal Men. But the Power of Faith it is the Power of God making use of the Word of God which is the Sword of the God of Heaven which is sharper than any Two-edged Sword made by Men Because it is Piercing even to the dividing a sunder of Soul and Spirit and of the Joynts and Marrow and is a descerner of the Thoughts and Intents of the Hearts of all the Sons and Daughters of Men that are that have been or ever will be in the World This Word of God which is the Word of Life and the Sword of the Spirit it will Prevail when that the Traditions the Inventions and the Lying Wonders of the Church of Rome shall fail The Word of God abideth for ever therefore that shall prevail when that all Unbelieving Jews Bruitish Atheists Wicked and Bloody Papists and Rebellious Dissenters and Sectaries that do trust to Carnal Wisdom Power and Strength to this Party or that Party to this Opinion or that Opinion to their Estates or their Swords their Hearts shall fail Therefore in these Days of the Gospel of Peace and in the Reign of our Royal Soveraign His Majesty of Great Britain Let all that handle the Sword perish with the Sword that do not use it in a right manner and to a Right End that do not use it for the Glory of the great and Mighty God who is a Man of War and the God of Peace and for the Credit of his Holy Gospel which is the glad Tydings of Salvation and for the great Honour and Renown of the Protestant Religion for the great Joy and Triumph of the Church of England for the great Exaltation of His Majesty of Great Britain and the great Peace and Prosperity of his Kingdoms in these Days of the Gospel which is the Day of Gods Power and the great manifestation of his Patience Wisdom and Glory Let not any despise the day of small things For by Carnal Wisdom Power and Strength shall not Unbeleiving Jews Bruitish Atheists Wicked and Bloody Papists and Rebellious Dissenters and Sectaries prevail but against all these will the Lord of Hosts prevail and that when he please and by whom he please As it is the Prayer of the Ministers of the Gospel so it ought to be their great care in these Days of the Gospel and in the Reign of our Royal Soveraign His Majesty of Great Britain for to mind

have cast off the good Prayers of the Church of England which are profitable and comfortable the God of Heaven has made their Friends as Enemies to pursue them For if a mans ways please the Lord he will make their Enemies to be at peace with them or with him but if they do not God will make their Friends their Enemies nay the great and good God who is the best Friend will become unto them that do provoke him the worst Enemy They that walk contrary unto him he will walk contrary unto them and will punish them seven times more he will heap mischief among them and spend his Arrows upon them And who will have pity upon thee or bemoan thee Art thou not gone backward O Dissentor since thou hast broken thy Covenant with the Lord in not endeavouring to keep the Unity of the Spirit in the Bond of Peace And have not you broken your Covenant with Men O Rebellious Sectaries in taking away the Life of our late Royal and Gracious Soveraign therefore the Lord hath framed Evil against you and devised a Device against you Unless that you do return every one of you from your Evil Ways and make your Ways and your Doings good the Lord will bring an everlasting Reproach upon you and a perpetual shame which will not be forgotten Nay the Lord will make you Sick in smiting you in making you desolate because of your sins if you will not turn unto him in conforming to the Government of the Church of England But I shall pray for the Dissentors and Sectaries as the Apostle St. Peter prayed for Simon That they would repent of their Wickedness and pray God if perhaps the thoughts of their hearts may be forgiven them For I am affraid that too many of them may be in the Gall of Bitterness and in the Bond of Iniquity for not keeping the Unity of the Spirit in the Bond of Peace but the Lord give them true Repentance which will take off the greatest stain and bring the Soul into the Favour of God Again Have not the Dissentors and the Sectaries by their falling from the Church of England Have they not weakened her and grieved her Have they not reproached and persecuted her both with their Tongues and their Hands Have they not encouraged and strengthened the Papists against her who are unreasonable bloody and deceitful men But the Church of England according to our Saviours Counsel prays for her Enemies Persecutors and Slanderers that the Lord would turn their hearts and have mercy upon all Men that the Lord would be pleased to give to all Nations Unity Peace and Concord that the Lord would give us all Hearts to love and dread him and to live after his Commandments And if this had been done the Dissentors and the Sectaries would not have fallen from God to displease him and grieve one another as they have done but they can condemn all but themselves but the God of Heaven has stirr'd me up for to reprove rebuke and to condemn them that they may condemn themselves for slighting the Prayers of the Church of England and trusting to Prayers of their own making and framing which are too many of them neither agreeable to the Word of God nor made by the Spirit of God as the Prayers of the Church of England are they be suitable for all Persons for all Times and all Conditions they be such Prayers that the God of Heaven hath heard and answered and doth hear and will answer them that put them up to him in a right manner and to a right end For the hearing and reading the holy Word of God will not profit any unless they do mixt it with Faith no more will the Prayers of the Church of England This is the excellency of these Prayers that they are not so plain as profitable and comfortable for all both high and low rich and poor and young and old Were they but well put in practice they would soon inform and reform the World that lies and lives in ignorance and disobedience From all evil and mischief from sin from the crafts and assaults of the Devil from everlasting wrath and damnation it becomes all wise men to pray that the good Lord would deliver them Never more crafts and assaults of the Devil never evil more and mischief done and committed than by too many of them that have slighted undervalued and scorned these Prayers From all blindness of heart from pride vain-glory and hypocrisie from envy hatred and malice and all uncharitablness it becomes all the Sons and the Daughters of Men that would be good and do good to pray that the good Lord would deliver them from these sins But do not these sins too much abound among too many of them that have made Seperation from the Church of England Who are more ignorant and prouder than many of them Where is there greater Hypocrisie Envy Hatred and Malice than among too many of them But if they will not conform and reform to the Government of the Church of England in due time the Lord will not onely leave them but he will laugh at them when Distress and Anguish cometh upon them as Desolation and Destruction as a Whirl-wind then they may call upon the Lord but he will not answer them they may seek him early and yet not find him because they have slighted and hated knowledge which would have men to depart from evil and to chuse the fear of the Lord as without knowledge the mind cannot be good so without obedience the knowledge is not good for they that do flight and undervalue the Word of God and the Prayers of the Church of England they will eat of the fruit of their own way and be filled with their Devices for the turning away of the simple will slay and the prosperity of fools destroy them but who so hearkeneth unto the Lord and keeps in the good old way will dwell safely and be quiet from the fear of evil From Fornication and all other deadly Sins and from all the Deceits of the World the Flesh and the Devil It becomes all that would be saved to pray that the Lord would give them power against them and victory over them for the hearts of all men are deceitful and the best of men are subject to fall into the worst of sins But there is a generation of Men that will not say the Prayers of the Church of England but will take liberty to sin that Grace may abound but from such Men the good Lord deliver me From Lightning and Tempest from devouring Fire from Plague Pestilence and Famine from Battle and Murder and from sudden Death the good Lord deliver all that do desire and endeavour to fear love serve and honour him It becomes all wise and faithful Christians to do what they can to prevent Judgments and to remove them and not by Contentions and Divisions to hasten them and to bring them upon us when that
