An exhortation to the performance of this happy Vnion The Conclusion

which God hath powred foorth vpon vs. The first is a publike embracing of Christian Religion begun by King Lucius and all his people and abolishing of Gentilisme and Idolatrie wherein God did preferre this Iland before all the nations of the world The second blessing is that God raised vp in this Iland Constantinus Magnus a Britaine Emperour in whose raigne God did vnite the earthly kingdome with the spirituall The third blessing is this last admirable Vnion of the South and the North in one kingdome vnder one King and gouernour in the true Religion and worship of God by the which Vnion this Iland is in the most happy estate of all the kingdomes of the world God giue vs all thankefull harts to acknowledge the same I will entreate all the subiects of Great Britaine to lay before their eyes the blessed estate of the Vnion of this Iland in one language one true Religion and in one temporall kingdome And on the other part looke what was the miserable and lamentable estate of this Iland during the space that it was diuided into many earthly kingdomes and holding vnder the spirituall captiuitie of the Idolatrie of spirituall Babylon And for this cause remember the history of the diuision and ciuill warres of the Romane Monarchie how they did draw their souldiers and warriours out of this Iland and marke at that same time what a desolate and miserable estate both the spirituall and temporall kingdome did fall into For the North Britaines did rise vp in warre against the South Britaines who for their aide and helpe had refuge to the Saxons who did professe Gentilisme and Paganisme But the Saxons hauing deliuered the South Britaines from the oppression of the North did thrust out the Southerne people out of their possessions lands houses and Countrey so that a great number of them did flie into little Britannie in France and the remnant went to the Westerne part called Wales I might shew you also how that the South was deuided into seauen Kingdomes at what time there were most cruell warres exercised amongst themselues how that afterward they were afflicted by the Danes and how during the diuision of kingdomes in all these ages all learning all true Religion and all pietie was banished yea almost extinguished and by the contrary all barbaritie by violence and bloodshed all Gentilisme and Idolatrie did abound I might shew you how all these things did raigne in this Iland during the deuided estate of this kingdome but time will not suffer me Let the consideration of felicitie which doth flow from Vnion on the one side of misery and calamitie which doth come by diuision on the other side worke mightily in the harts of all these whom God and his Lieutenant hath chosen at this time out of the South and North to entreate of this Vnion whereof I haue now spoken And that they may learne what a dangerous thing it is to leaue any little seede of any former diuision we are to take heede of Satans lying deceptions who is a busie watchman seeking by all meanes to throw in some seede of diuision amongst men to hinder stay the good worke of God as mens particular commodities preferments which are not of such waight or importance in respect of this happie Vnion Therefore Tollantur à nobis nomina diuisionis Let all the names of diuision or discord be taken from amongst vs. Let vs also learne by these histories of the Vnion and diuision of kingdomes a very sure rule as I shewed you a little before that the diuision of countries in diuerse kingdomes doth come from the head Gouernours who by deuiding of one kingdome made many kingdomes as we see in the first diuision of the world and specially in the diuision of the kingdome of the Israelites In the third Monarchie of the Greekes amongst the foure successours of Alexander In the dissolution of the Romane Empire into the Orient and the Occident In the subdiuision of the kingdome of Carolus Magnus in the Occident In the subdiuision of Spaine into many kingdomes In the diuision of this Iland into many kingdomes So that the cause of diuision ceasing by the Vnion of kingdomes the people was vnited ipso iure ipso facto as Fraunce was during the first race of Kings called Meroninges deuided amongst foure brethren into foure Kingdomes but so soone as all those foure fell in one Kings hands they were all vnited ipso facto in one ratione capitis by reason of their head Likewise we haue an example in Spaine and in South Britannie when the seauen kingdomes did fall in one Princes gouernment they were all seauen vnited ipso facto ratione capitis by reason of the head Euen so pari iure the South and North being vnited vnder one King it followeth necessarily that the Kingdomes are vnited amongst themselues so that by the Law of God and man our Great Britannie is no more two kingdomes but one onely He that opposeth himselfe against this holy Vnion doth offend his God make little regard of his Prince and King and hurteth the welfare and happy state of this whole Iland Let all men remember by the foresaid examples that the Vnion of kingdomes hath beene alwaies the furtherance and standing of true Religion but diuision of kingdomes hath beene the ouerthrow of true Religion and aduancing of Idolatrie let all those that loue God perseuerance in true Religion prosperitie of their naturall King and standing of the Common-wealth of this Iland which is the common mother of vs all be carefull of the performance of Gods worke and put to their helping hand for the furtherance thereof And let all reasonable and godly men consider how God on his part hath taken away from vs all the causes of diuision as diuersitie of Language Religion Gouernours and Kings and hath vnited vs in one Language in one Religion and vnder one head and King If we then cast in any lets or impediments on our side or if we inuent any new subiect of diuision betwixt the South and the North we shall be like vnto those that doe diuide teare and cut in peeces their owne bowels deuoure their owne children and put fire in their owne houses Let all men therefore examine their owne harts and minds whether they feele any inward motion within them to further and aduance this good woorke If they doe let them beleeue certainly that such a motion doth come from God and by the contrary if any man find any euill motion in his hart that tendeth to the hinderance of this good worke let him beleeue that this motion commeth by the Diuels suggestion Let vs all pray to God as well in our priuate houses as in our publike assemblies that God would performe this his owne worke wherein doth consist the establishing of his true worship and Religion in this Iland and the extinguishing of all false Idolatrie Let vs auoyde all euill motions inuentions of
