caused Jerusalem to swim with innocent blood and had no works of righteousnesse Exod. 23. 2 King 11.16 Thou declaredst thy great mercy in pardoning him Thou restoredst Israel from captivity which had lived like beasts 2 Esds 8.29 30 The Thief upon the Crosse had nothing but sins to present thee with yet thou pardonest him for thou art a God of mercy art call'd mercifull Ier. 3.12 Exod. 34. and delightest in mercy and hast treasures of goodnesse layed up for them that have none for themselves O Lord hear and consider Look not upon the sins of thy people but look on thy Sanctuary and worship which lyeth waste Defer not to help for thy Names sake for thy honour sake In pitie for thy Christs sake look upon our miseries for there is no healing nor help left and we grow worse and worse Our sins increasing are grown up unto the heavens We have committed this great evill and that Jesuitically by blood we think to build our nests on high above the stars Hab. 2.9 that so in this world we may escape the Crosse of our Lord and be free from the power of evill But O Lord in so doing we have refused our own health the waters of Shiloh Isa 56. and put from our selves that holy Cup of Salvation of which our Lord himself drank and himself with his own blood tempered and seasoned for such as will be his Disciples O Lord in judgement remember mercy Ier. 6.16 and bring us once again to that ancient old good way that walking therein we may find rest to our souls Amen The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him Psal 25.14 And if any man will do his will he shall know of the doctrine whether it be of God Joh. 7.17 THat you might the better think of that which you and I lately spake of touching the sufferings of Christians Postscript I have committed the same to writing and have here according to my promise sent it you Think upon it for it 's no vain thing Deut. 32.47 but it 's that whereby our lives shall be prolonged in the Land beyond Jordan whitherunto we are going The necessity of the serious thinking on this doctrine appears in that our Lord took such pains with his disciples to inculcate radicate and settle it in their hearts For having spoke of their sufferings Luk. 21. Settle it in your hearts saith he ver 12 13 14. In another place saith he Let these sayings sink down into your hearts Luk. 10. And again These things have I spoken unto you that you should not be offended and that when the time cometh you may remember I told you of them Joh. 15.20 Joh. 16.14 By all which and many other places this appeareth a matter of great concernment and of some difficulty to be beleeved And of this doctrine or this report Isa 53. we with the Prophet may well say Lord who hath beleeved unto such is the power of God manifested and they shall grow up before him as a tender plant and as a root out of dry ground And without doubt the highest favour that the Almighty bestowed upon the sons of men is ability to suffer for his Name It is that great feast Luk. 14. to which all are invited The riches that accompany it exceed all the treasures of Nations and the people that endure are such as God esteemeth the world not worthy of And therefore the holiest of men even the Apostles rejoyced that they were counted worthy to suffer I have now done The Lord settle these sayings in our hearts and grant us to be those spirituall worshippers Joh. 4.23 24 not to worship the Father with bodily sacrifice but in spirit and truth instead of Burnt-offerings to offer up our bodies and souls a living sacrifice and so to account of our selves but as sheep appointed to the slaughter and to prepare for bonds and afflictions which Act. 20.23 as the holy Ghost witnesseth abide us in every place for that through much tribulation and violence the kingdom of heaven must be entred Act. 14.22 And that as the grace of flowers fade so may our carnality and worldly pomp glory and honour decay decrease Iam. 1 11. Phil 3.3 8. yea that we may attain to the high price set before us let 's account those things dung and that we may so do let us watch Luk. 16. fast pray give alms as good Souldiers endure all hardnesse that so being faithfull in small things we may be trusted with great Which is the earnest prayer of your faithfull Friend Imprimatur Joh.
