have bin such bloudy Butchers of him as that they shall be swallowed up in the sence of such unspeakable grace Conviction for sin doth greatly help forward legall humiliation but for a kindly and spirituall mourning men must looke upon Christ not only as killed by them but as killed for them Thus shall it be with them according to what is foretold Mat. 24.30 When the signe of the son of man shall appeare in heaven then shall all the Tribes of the Earth mourne speaking of the twelve Tribes of Israel who shall mourne because of him that commeth to shew such mercy to them who have dealt so unworthily with him This is the mourning which will befall this people like that of Megiddon when this great battell shall be fought Vse 1 For use in the first place were I to speake to such people as were likely to be insnared with these Froggs and spirits of Divells This might teach them diligently to beware of such and in case any of them should come over into this Country Iesuits or Cardinalls or Bishops doe not hearken to their whisperings whatsoever they shall present unto you for this will bee the issue of it whosoever they be that hearken unto them they w ll never leave them till at length they have brought them to this field of destruction they will goe forth to gather the Princes of the Earth and whither will they gath●r them even thither where will be the Fatall ru●ne of them all And therefore let all Christian Princes understand it that they cannot listen unto these Froggs Popish Bishops or Cardinalls or Iesuites or who ever they be that come unto them on this errand but they will by this meanes bring their Kingdomes to utter destruction Be wise now therefore O yee Kings be instructed yee Judges of the Earth you see what wofull worke will be made at length by these Froggs they will bring you into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon King James who made a Paraphrase upon it doth interpret it to signifie destruction by deceit as if it were compounded of two Hebrew words which may so hold it forth But oh that it had beene as well beleeved as told how many sad changes and Agitations throughout all Christendome might have bin prevented that have risen upon hearkning to these Froggs destruction and Calamity are in their wayes keepe your selves therefore farre from all fellowship with them that will be your wisedome In the second place this may teach us to rejoyce at home Vse 2 though wee doe not live to see these victories obtained I know not what you that are young may live unto for the neerer these things come unto their accomplishment the swifter their motion will be as it is with all naturall motions but however let us rejoyce together in beholding them by Faith although they bee yet to come when David rejoyced in Christ Psal 16.9 10. and faith therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoyceth my flesh also shall rest in hope for thou wilt not leave my dead body in the Grave neither wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see Corruption this David in spirit ●eeth long before and looketh at his owne Resurrection as sea●ed up unto him in the Incorruption of the body of Iesus Christ If David can rejoyce so long before in beholding this then ought wee to rejoyce in beholding before-hand the destruction of Gods Enemies and his gracious deliverances of his people for wee may see it before-hand by Faith and behold it with confidence in the truth of him that hath promised it for so also did Abraham Iohn 8 56. Your Father Abraham rejoyced to see my day and he saw it and was glad and why should not the Fa th of Christians bee now more cleare eyed then at that time it was to behold the truth of his promises and rejoyce in the accomplishment of them Thirdly we may from hence gather some ground of Faith to Vse 3 beleive that there will come a time when the Iewes will generally mourne for the sight and death of Christ as much as ever they mourned of old for the death of Iosiah and least you should say that Parabolicall Scriptures are not Foundations of Faith and yet any Scripture truely expounded is ground sufficient for the truth it holdeth forth yet you may find sundry other Scriptures that speake expressely to their Conversion Rom. 11.12.15.25 26. I would not Brethren that yee should be ignorant of this mystery that blindnesse in part is happened unto Israel untill the fulnesse of the Gentiles be come in that is untill men turne backe from Antichrist unto Christ untill they see Christian Princes more sincere in the worke of God and then all Israel shall be saved for though they were cast off for their own sakes yet are they beloved for their Fathers sake v. 28. For if thou wert cut out of the Olive Tree which is wilde by Nature and wert grafted contrary to Nature into a good Olive Tree how much more shall these which are the naturall branches bee graffed into their owne Olive Tree for saith he God is able to graffe them in againe and he will doe i● or else the Apostles Argument will not hold Also that of the Apostle to the Corinthians 2. Cor. 3.14.15.16 Even unto this day when Moses is read the Vayle is upon their heart but when it that is Israel shall turne unto the Lord the Vayle shall be taken away this is not spoken of two or three sprinklings of Israel that doth not make up an Israel much lesse all Israel as Paul speaketh in the place forenamed and what mystery were it if it were meant onely of those that were brought home by Peters Ministery But that blindnesse is come upon them till the fulnes of the Gentiles be come in and that then all Israel shall be saved this is indeed a Mystery to the Gentiles as the calling of the Gentiles was a Mystery to the Iewes Thus wee see there are cleare Scriptures for it which when we doe see we may more freely take up parabolicall Scriptures perceiving what they worke upon and build our Faith on them thereby to be strengthned in Prayer for such a blessing that they may come and sing Hallelujahs with us and wee may sing prayses with them Fourthly wee may learne from hence the true nature of Vse 4 Godly sorrow both in the cause of it and in the measure of it For the cause of it wee must see him from whom all saving repentance doth flow even Christ whom we have pierced and then indeed we mourne aright when we mourne over him It is not saving Repentance that which the Law worketh though it doth indeed make way for it but they see him and mourne over him the sight of him worketh godly sorrow in the heart And what is the measure of it it is even such as for the losse of a mans onely Sonne and his first borne the staffe and
