Cor. 14 1.-10 so I would not run the Gauntlet of my Country-mens Tongues in the Apostles Language to censure me of Barbarism 1. Cor. 4.11 nor yet to hazard the Censure of our Saviour as if I shunned the LIGHT of common People John 3.19 20. I therefore dip my Pen in the IDIOM of our Mother Tongue And in the first place I most humbly Salute those of mine own Country that as it becomes us first to cast the Beam out of our own eye Mat. 7.3 4 5. Luke 6.41 42. to avoid HYPOCRISIE according to the Counsel of our Saviour So this Honour of Physitian heal thyself Luk. 4.23 24. may first be ascribed to your Wisdom To which Purpose not knowing how to Address my Papers to your several PALACES I have been at the Charge of Printing and Distributing them to Booksellers that they may be conveyed into your hands to wash them in Innocency from the little Horn-Change of Times and Laws Many HEADS have passed their Sentence on the VISIONS of DANIEL of whom the Learned Doctor Moor hath given an impartial Account and laid the CHANGE of Times and Laws at the Doors of ROME But the particulars of WHAT Times and Laws are changed And WHAT Times and Laws are come in their place And WHEN And by WHOM is left as a Province for your Glory to bring to LIGHT which may again set ROME on Fire either of Zeal to amend what is amiss Or burn to Ashes of perpetual Silence and Oblivion all their Lyes and Changes I shall patiently wait one Month to observe the Operation of this my Service which if it prove ineffectual I shall not forget that I am a Member of the Church of Christ 1 Cor. 12.26 and of the Body Politick Much less shall deny my self to be First and Eldest PHYSICIAN to his Majesties Person in Ordinary and my DOCTORSHIP above 62 years standing Having been Physitian in three Kings and Queens Courts of ENGLAND besides many others I must not therefore Palliate the CURE but search it to the Bottom and accordingly having discovered the CAUSE prescribe the taking it away that I may not be unworthy of Subscribing my self London May 29. 1682 My Lords Your Graces and your Lordships most Christian-Servant PETER CHAMBERLEN To the Right Honourable the Lord High CHANCELLOUR of ENGLAND and the Lord Privy Seal and the Lord MAYOR of LONDON As also to both the Lord Chief Justices with the Lord Chief Baron and all the rest of his Majesties Judges Magistrates and Justices throughout England Truth and Wisdom of God is wished through our Lord Jesus Christ AMEN My Lords and Gentlemen VAlue not this Messuage by the Meanness of the Messenger but by the IMPORTANCE of the Message For 1. If the words of Christ be true Mat. 12.25 this KINGDOM is not far from Desolation 2. The Tripple-Crowned-Little-Horn-Change of TIMES and LAWS which God thought good to reveal Dan. 7.1 25. to his greatly beloved Prophet Dan. 9.23 And sent his Angel to interpret Dan. 7.15 16. ought not to be undervalued by Men of Wisdom and Honour 3. Be you pleased to restore those TIMES and LAWS there spoken of and you will not find it a work so Contemptible as some may imagine I have writen to the most Reverend ARCH-BISHOPS and BISHOPS about it They being for the WORD as you for the SWORD If then you be joyned together in the Work of the Lord You will bring it to Light and make it manifest that your Work is wrought in God Joh. 3.20.21 If any Particulars lie hid be pleased to command the LAMP of My Lords and Gentlemen Your Lordships and Worships Most Loyal-English-Servant Peter Chamberlen June 12. 1682. To the Two LIGHTS of ENGLAND the Two VNIVERSITIES of this Kingdom And to all their most worthy HEADS and MEMBERS Truth Wisdom and Honour from God our Father through our Lord JESVS CHRIST Ye celebrated Men of Wisdom and Learning THe TRIPLE-CROWNED-LITTLE-HORN hath so worried the Saints of the Most High out of the World with his blasphemous Endeavours of changing TIMES and LAWS that Men know not how to keep Time for their Laws nor have any Law for their Time But the Learned Dr. MORE and several others in their COMMENTARIES on DANIEL have laid the CHANGE of TIMES and LAWS at the Doors of ROME Yet because Dolus versatur in universalibus they seem not to be concerned There wants a NATHAN to say Thou art the Man 2 Sam. 12 7. There wants some to say what Times and what Laws the Angel spake of to Daniel Dan. 7.25 To which purpose I did write to the Most Reverend ARCH-BISHOPS and BISHOPS on the Kings Birth-Day and the most Honourable JUDGES in Term time in the very beginning And now to your Selves against your Days of Solemnity that many Hands may make light Work Plus vident Oculi quam Oculus If then you are pleased to make a Discovery of those TIMES and LAWS you do well but if you can restore them you do better For so extravagant is yet the LITTLE-HORN in England that if any Single Pen should draw the Curtain and discover the Nakedness of ANTICHRIST in those Times and Laws they would immediately bestow upon him the Curse of CHAM or adjudge him to Fire and Fagot And the SCENT of the HORN is yet so Rank that it is not in the Power of KING and PARLIAMENT to make a perfect Restauration Yet do not you refuse your helping hand Est aliquid prodire tenus si non detur ultra How strange would it appear if after all your Silence my Goos-Quill should make a Noise and awaken the CAPITOL of ENGLAND to prevent a total Desolation prophesied by the Lord Jesus Christ Mat. 12.25 Let not this Service be unseasonable from June 19. 1682.
