glory to judge the World That the Sufferings and Merits of Christ as they are sufficient to do away the Sinns of the whole World so they are onely effectuall to those which are Regenerate by the Holy Ghost Who breatheth where he will of Free Grace which Grace as a Seed Incorruptible quickeneth the Spirit of Man and conceiveth him anew a Son of God and Member of Christ So that Christ having Mans Flesh and Man having Christs Spirit there is an open passage and Mutuall Imputation whereby Sin and Wrath was conveyed to Christ from Man And Merit and Life is conveyed to Man from Christ VVhich Seed of the Holy Ghost first figureth in us the Image of Christ slain or crucified through a lively Faith And then reneweth in us the Image of God in Holinesse and Charity though both imperfectly and in degrees farre differing even in Gods Elect As well in regard of the Fire of the Spirit as of the Illumination thereof which is more or lesse in a large proportion As namely in the Church before Christ VVhich yet neverthelesse was partaker of one and the same Salvation with us And of one and the same Means of Salvation with us That the Work of the Spirit though it be not tyed to any Means in Heaven or Earth yet it is ordinarily dispensed by the Preaching of the Word The Administration of the Sacraments The Covenants of the Fathers upon the Children Prayer Reading The Censures of the Church The Society of the Godly the Crosse and Afflictions Gods Benefits His Iudgements upon others Miracles The Contemplation of his Creatures All which though some be more principall God useth as the Means of Vocation a●d Conversion of his Elect Not derogating from his power to call immediately by his Grace and at all Howers and Moment● of the Day That is of Mans Life according to his good pleasure That the Word of God whereby his Will is revealed continued in Revelation and Tradition untill Moses And that the Scriptures were from Moses Time to the times of the Apostles and Evangelists In whose Age aft●r the comming of the Holy Ghost the Teacher of all Truth the Book of the Scriptures was shut and closed so as not to receive any new Addition And that the Church hath no power over the Scriptures to teach or command any Thing contrary to the written Word But is as the Ark wherein the Tables of the First Testament were kept and preserved That is to say the Church hath onely the Custody and Delivery over of the Scriptures committed unto the same Together with the Interpretation of them but such onely as is conceived from themselves That there is an Universall or Catholick Church of God dispersed over the face of the Earth which is Christs Spouse and Christs Body Being gathered of the Fathers of the old World of the Church of the Iewes of the Spirits of the Faithfull Dissolved and the Spirits of the Faithfull Militant and of the Names yet to be born which are already written in the Book of Life That there is also a Visible Church distinguished by the outward VVorks of Gods Covenant and the Receiving of the Holy Doctrine with the Use of the Mysteries of God and the Invocation and Sanctification of his Holy Name That there is also an Holy Succession in the Prophets of the New Testament and Fathers of the Church from the time of the Apostles and Disciples which saw our Saviour in the Flesh unto the Consummation of the Work of the Ministry which persons are called from God by Gift or inward Anointing And the Vocation of God followed by an outward Calling and Ordination of the Church I believe that the Soules of those that dye in the Lord are blessed and rest from their Labours and enjoy the Sight of God yet so as they are in Expectation of a further Revelation of their Glory in the last Day At which time all Flesh of Man shall arise and be changed and shall appear and receive from Iesus Christ his Eternall Iudgement And the Glory of the Saints shall then be full And the Kingdome shall be given up to God the Father From which Time all things shall continue for ever in that Being and State which then they shall receive So as there are three Times if Times they may be called or parts of Eternity The first the Time before beginnings when the Godhead was onely without the Being of any Creature The Second the Time of the Mystery which continueth from the Creation to the Dissolution of the World And the Third the Time of the Revelation of the Sonnes of God which Time is the last and is everlasting without change FINIS A Perfect List of his Lordships true Works both in English and Latin In English AN Apology touching the Earl of Essex The El●ments of the Common Laws of England Advancement of Learning Essayes with the Colours of Good and Evil.

lent your Reputation in this Case That is To pretend that if Peace go not on and the Queen mean to make not a Defensive Warr as in times past but a full Reconquest of those parts of the Countrey you would accept the Charge I think it would help to settle Tyrone in his seeking Accord and win you a great deal of Honour gratis And that which most properly concern's this Action if it prove a Peace I think her Majesty shall doe well to cure the Root of the Disease And to Professe by a Commission of Peaceable Men of Respect and Countenance a Reformation of Abuses Extortions and Injustices there And to plant a stronger and surer Government than heretofore for the Ease and Protection of the Subject For the Removing of the Sword or Government in Arms from the Earl of Ormond Or the sending of a Deputy which will ecclipse it if Peace follow I think it unseasonable Lastly I hold still my Opinion both for your better In●ormation and the fuller Declaration of your Care in Medling in this urgent and meriting Service That your Lordship have a set Conference with the persons I named in my former Letter A Letter of Advice to my Lord of Essex immediately before his going into Ireland My sigular good Lo●d YOur late Note of my Silence in your Occasions hath made me set down these few wandring Lines as one that would say somewhat and can say nothing touching your Lordships intended Charge for Ireland Which my Endeavour I know your Lordship will accept graciously whether your Lordship take it by the Handle of Occasion ministred from your Self or of the Affection from which it proceeds Your Lordship is designed to a Service of great Merit and great Peril And as the Greatness of the Peril must needs include a like proportion of Merit So the Greatnesse of the Merit may include no small Consequence of Peril if it be not temperately governed For all immoderate Successe extinguisheth Merit and stirreth up Distast and Envy The assured Forerunners of whole Charges of Peril But I am at the last point first Some good Spirit leading my Penn to presage to your Lordship successe Wherein it is true I am not without my Oracles and Divinations None of them Superstitious and yet not all Natural For first looking into the Course of Gods Providence in Things now depending And calling to consideration how great things God hath done by her Majesty and for her I collect he hath disposed of this great Defection in Ireland thereby to give an urgent occasion to the Reduction of that whole Kingdom As upon the Rebellion of Desmond there insued the Reduction of that whole Province Next your Lordship goeth against three of the unluckiest Vices of all others Disloyalty Ingratitude and Insolency Which three Offences in all Examples have seldom their Doom adjourn'd to the world to come Lastly he that shall have had the Honour to know your Lordship inwardly as I have had shall find Bona Exta whereby he may better ground a Divination of Good than upon the Dissection of a Sacrifice But that part I leave For it is fit ●or others to be confident upon the cause The Goodnesse and Justice whereof is such as can hardly be matched in any Example● It being no Ambitious Warr against Forreiners but a Recovery of Subjects And that after Lenity of Conditions often tryed And a Recovery of them not onely to Obedience but to Humanity and Policy from more than Indian Barbarism There is yet another Kinde of Divination familiar to Matters of State Being that which Demosthenes so often relyed upon in his time when he said That which for the time past is worst of all is for the time to come the best which is that things go● ill not by Accident but by Errours Wherein if your Lordship have been heretofore an Awaking Censour you must look ●or no other now but Medice Cura teipsum And though you shall not be the Happy Physician that commeth in the Declination of the Disease yet you embrace that Condition which many Noble Spirits have accepted for Advantage which is that you goe upon the greater Peril of your Fortune and the lesse of your Reputation And so the Honour countervaileth the Adventure Of which Honour your Lordship is in no small possession when that her Majesty known to be one of the most judicious Princes in discerning of Spirits that ever governed hath made choice of you meerly out of her Royal Iudgement her Affection inclining rather to continue your Attendance into whose hand and trust to put the Command and Conduct of so great Forces The Gathering the Fruit of so great Charge The Execution of so many Counsels The Redeeming of the Defaults of so many former Governers The clearing of the Glory of her so many happy years Reign onely in this part eclipsed Nay further how far forth the peril of that State is interlaced with the peril of England And therefore how great the Honour is to keep and defend the Approaches or Ave-newes of this Kingdom I hear many discourse And there is a great Difference whether the Tortoise gathereth her self within her shell hurt or unhurt And if any Man be of Opinion that the Nature of the Enemy doth extenuate the Honour of the Service being but a Rebell and a Savage I differ from him For I see the justest Triumphs that the Romans in their greatnesse did obtain And that whereof the Emperours in their Stiles took Addition and Denomination were of such an Enemy as this That is People Barbarous and not reduced to Civility magnifying a kind of lawlesse Liberty and prodigal of Life hardned in Body fortified in Woods and Boggs and placing both Justice and Felicity in sharpnesse of their Swords Such were the Germans and auncient Brittons and divers others Upon which kinde of People whether the Victory were a Conquest or a Reconquest upon a Rebellion or a Revolt It made no difference that ever I could find in Honour And therefore it is not the Enriching Predatory Warr that hath the preheminence in Honour Else should it be more Honour to bring in a Carick of rich Burthen than one of the 12. Spanish Apostles But then this Nature of People doth yield a higher point of Honour considered in Truth and Substance than any warr can yield which should be atchieved against a Civil Enemy If the End may be Pacique imponere morem to replant and refound the policy of that Nation To which nothing is wanting but a just and Civil Government which Design as it doth descend unto you ●rom your Noble Father who lost his life in that Action though he paid Tribute to Nature and not to Fortune So I hope your Lordship shall be as Fatal a Captain to this warr as Africanus was to the Warr of Carthage After that both his Uncle and Father had lost their Lives in Spain in the same warr Now although it be true that these Things which I
