are come wee may proceede by one rule euen to minde one thing which is necessarie Doe you stand in the gap in your pastorall sage wisedomes and zeale to turne away the Lords wrath which yet is not ceased blesse you the Lord praise him and magnifie him for euer O Ye Nobles and Peeres of the Realme the pillers of our estate and flowers of the Kings Coronet Behold now the day of the Lord of Hostes was to bee vpon euery thing that was exalted vpon all the Cedars of Lebanon vpon all the Oakes of Bashan and vpon all the high mountaines and vpon all the hills that are lifted vp vpō euery high towne euery strong wall euen vpon all the strong men that are about the bed of Salomon all the valiant of Israel who handle the sword and are expert in warre and vpon euery one that hath his sword vpon his thigh for any feare these euen your selues the cruell instruments of Nabuchadnazzer of Rome would haue consumed as the three renowned rulers of the Prouinces Sidrach Misach and Abednego in one fierie Ouen heated to the seauenth degree in your habites roabes coates and shooes as they were as the Scripture noteth and yet the Infidel galles vnder Brennus reuerenced the faces and vestures of the Fathers of the Senate in the capitoll of heathen Rome Beholde the Lords great deliuerance ouer you his holy Angels among you so that no smell of fire vpon your garments nor a haire of your heads singed doe you therefore and your posteritie and all your retinue Blesse the Lord praise him and magnifie him for euer O You graue Iudges and Fathers of the Law and Sages of the Land whose doome was so neare without all course of iudgement and triall of Law which you afford to the meanest creature and most grieuous offender doe you put on Iustice as a roabe Let equity be a couering as a Crowne breake the power of the oppressour and let the innocent goe free that Iustice may not be as Wormewood nor iudgement as gall but truth may runne down as a mighty streame euery where Doe you blesse the Lord the chiefe Iudge of the world who hath deliuered you from so great sodaine a iudgment Blesse him I say in all your Courts in all your benches proceedings Assises and Sessions praise him and magnifie him for euer O You the learned and prudent Maisters of the Lawe and Chauncerie the Secretaries and Clarkes of estate attendants in this honourable place by your offices who were to bee in the same net of destruction now that your soule is escaped as a bird the net broken the fowlers taken and your soule deliuered Doe you tremble and serue this great God and King and your Country with all good care sound conscience as before the Court of conscience in heauen in greater degrees for if his wrath had beene kindled a little what could great and high place presence do good behold the thunder smiteth the tallest tops Doe you therefore feare this great GOD breake out into voyces and vowes of laud and thanksgiuing blesse you the Lord praise him and magnifie him for euer O You worthie Knights and Burgesses who represent the bodies of the seuerall Countries Shires of our Nation and were to be a short raunsome for a small Interim with your bodies for the bodies of the Countries who looked when their turne came to be deuoured also Bee you faithfull betweene them who commit their welfare vnto you and this God who though he be a consuming fire and your house was as a burnt sacrifice soking vpon the fire almost to the last night yet hee hath not burnt it nor touched our estate as brittle and combustible as the fierie bush in the Desart but gloriously shewed himselfe in the midst of you for your safetie as in the vision to Moses Wherefore put off your shooes as hee did lay aside all earthly treadings awry in loue of your selues your owne pelfe goe not with a splay foote to the Gospell of peace and if indeede you seeke the Lord with all your hearts in the propagation of the Gospell by a preaching Ministerie thorough the Land as I am perswaded very many doe then sticke not some of you to returne the impropriations in your owne power backe againe to the Church as some honourably haue done heretofore and others offered to doe the like in your very owne house of Parliament and some with their money hath purchased some of thē to the Church and were they not the auncient patrimonie of Christ Did not Queene Mary in her darke dayes and wayes giue example and by act of Parliament make restitution of the appropriations annexed to the Crowne It well becommeth the zealous this day some to stand forth as Zaccheus after so long detinue Seeing this day saluation is come vnto their whole and particular houses and they become the sonnes of Abraham all of them as Isaac saued from the knife by an angelicall hand to deliuer possession of the Lords inheritances some to offer liberally as Araunah the Iebusite did like a King as is recorded to the shame of Christians Some as Nehemiah to depart from their owne for some time to redeeme the Churches portion back again as he his seruants did forbeare the purchasing of lands for themselues to supply publique wants Others not sticke to abolish diminutiue rates and vnequall disproportionate compositions whereof peraduenture many haue stollen vpon the Church and to reduce the tythes to their primitiue vncorrupt kind or among you to take some effectuall way in the varietie of your high and exercised wisedomes for a liberal maintenance of a preaching Ministery without which the discourses of it are cloudes and claps of thunder without the sweete dewes and drops of early and later raine and indeede a rich sacrifice of those sorts vpon this returne of you all from the gulfe of such a death would be an vndeniable constat of your zeale and pietie to all posterities and an acceptable performance of a holy vow to him who hath spared you all taken nothing frō you And so in the name of God go on with all your courage zeale obedience and fidelitie to GOD and man blesse you the Lord praise him and magnifie

kingdome and life Mene Tekel Vpharsin Mene God hath numbred and finished you Tekel thou art weighed in the ballance and found too light Pare◠thy kingdome and plot diuided and scattered and giuen to

infatuated minds might haue gathered that if blood or alliance or any other respect ought to haue moued them to haue bowels and feeling towards thee it might haue led others to haue had tendernes towards others also of their friends yea euen to all England the common parents of vs all and to euery sonne daughter of the same but that seeming to be wise they became fooles and the scripture must be true the mercies of the wicked are vnmercifull their bowels the seat of mercie are cruell if they that are euill can giue good thinges to their friends not stones but bread not scorpions but fishes how much more shall not our heauenly Father who made all euen pittie all and loue the images of his owne creation the works of his owne hands who hath better right to euery one of vs then any friend hath to his friend in any bond of nature for hee hath made of one blood euen all mankinde to dwell on all the face of the earth and hath assigned the bounds of their habitation wee are all the

can abide himselfe to be loued when his Country is hated obserue the wisedom of God to produce out of cōmon hatred particular loue out of particular loue generall safetie in his mighty power notwithstanding vowes oathes and sacraments of secrecie to set our sworne enemies to indight for our good to make their fingers write peace whose hearts hatched warre to order in his wise dispensation such a spirit of zeale and caution in you doe thou reuerence this great God in a true sense sound spirit of discerning spirits that hath honoured thee with so great seruice suggested and gaue grace to

she was more blessed by beleeuing Christ then by bearing him by receiuing him in her heart by faith then by conceiuing him in her wombe doe you my good Lord make this a meanes to increase your faith

fire heat winter sommer dewes and frosts yce snow and knock at the dore of euery creature in the earth mountaines green things wells seas floods whales fowles beasts particularly summoning men more particularly Israel among them the Lords Priests and seruants the soules of the righteous and humble men that walke with God and indure any thing or euery thing for him and by name they call vpon themselues As though all the creatures were obtested to helpe them to praise God to acknowledge this Creator and preseruer of them and that they who had the chiefe deliuerance though men of care knowledge and vnderstanding in all learning and wisedome yet were vnsufficient without worlds of helpe Therefore as God presented all the creatures before Adam their Lord owner vnder God and at another time all the creatures of the earth before Noah their preseruer vnder the same God And as Landlords haue their tennants to shew their poll and to pay head siluer to their Lords in their Courts yearely And as sea-men scaping shipwrack offer vowes and hang vp tables of deliuerance so haue I endeuoured by these holy examples and the like to present in all humble duty all degrees and estates before this Lord their preseruer with crownes of saluation on their heads palmes of victorie in their hands Psalmes of thanksgiuing in their mouthes For when the funerall men of Rome tolled our last knel among thēselues so certainly that they thought all the Physitions of great Brittaine could doe her no good and that God himselfe had forsaken her saying now the Protestant shall die his name perish did not the Lord of life cause the bel to stay on a suddaine and hath hee not spirited her againe with a fresh life and made her the daughter of a ioyfull resurrection As it is said of Isaac that Abraham after a sort receiued him frō the dead when he was so neare vnto death and yet deliuered My meaning was to stirre vp all our spirits mine owne and others and to keepe vs somewhat waking least security the bane of all should creepe in For if right vse be made of this what doth let but we may write Aeterna Britannia magna wherein no doubt a princely and honourable monument from this Senate in a festiuitie ordained for euer to be kept which shall be like a marble piller with a real and compendious inscription of the matter and occasion ingrauen walled about and a keeper of it as of other monuments for all to visite to Gods glory and increase of our faith and repentance shal reuiue our anniuersarie thankfulnes to all posteritie And me thinkes I obserue a new edge vpon many louers of religion since when they see God hath so prouoked them by a foolish and idolatrous people desperately zealous for the setting of Dagon that thereby with greater inflamed hearts the friends of Sion labour to resetle the arke of God vpon our center for euer In which for my part I cannot but praise God for the feruour and ardent spirit of the most honorable and zealous lower house like the spirit of famous Martin Luther and a fierie conglobation in their holy and deuout dispositions in many notable propositions and yet also giue God most hartie thanks for the graue moderate and mature considerations of the most honourable high part of the vpper house as the sage spirit of melancthon and a refrigeratiue constellation whose operations and influences shal by Gods grace haue heauenly and mighty effects very beneficiall to the publike good in due time and their sweet aspect and louing respect vnto one another and to the whole by their happy and peaceable coniunction shall profit vpon further occasions that which is behind of their faith wisedome and zeale which shall be the better effected if we could all goe one way For I perceiue in many cases as the Lamprey and serpent ingender so some professors so named for I except the graue humble modest and fatherly whom I know many and the Papist with diuerse ends ioyne to debase him that without respect of factions in his honest simplicity and plainenes opposeth himselfe to two extremes Great was the light of wisedome that shined in the Gentiles He that wil preserue truth must not only confute other mens opinions but his own And would to God al sides could learne of the fountaine of wisedom not to do any thing for displeasure against any supposed tares as to pluck vp wheat and all sides so to denie themselues and their own name that we might thinke it no disgrace but good deuotion to say in a common voyce Thy name be sanctified O Lord whatsoeuer become of our name And heere I most humbly desire as in this last passage so in the whole processe the friendly christian and charitable construction indulgence of all men wherin any thing by omission or addition is mistaken which in such variety of degrees to sort euery one with their proper attributes and offices is easie for a contemplatiue man labouring according to this place my function to be a remembrancer among many knowing that as in a race though men runne swiftly of themselues yet the clapping of hands of other obseruers of them that blowe the trumpets addeth a new courage and vigour to them The sum of my desire is that all our people of great Brittaine hereafter may be like one flocke of sheepe as the holy Ghost speaketh as in good order come vp from their washing a peculiar people abundant and zealous of good works euery one bearing twins and none barren among them that our Church knowing the terrour of the Lord heereby as Christ speaketh may be purged and bring forth more fruit that it may grow as the Lily and haue rootes of Lebanon that she may looke forth from her sleepe as the morning faire as the moone pure as the sunne terrible as an armie with banners that all the world may confesse what nation is so great vnto whom God commeth so neare in all that we neede euen before wee call vpon him What nation so great that hath ordinances and lawes so wise and so righteous as they haue set out in this their day Amen April 29.
