most willingly drink of this Cup as deep as he pleases and enter into this Sea yea and pass through it in the way that he shall lead me But I would have it remembred Good people that when Gods Servants were in this boysterous Sea and Aaron among them the Egyptians which persecuted them and did in a manner drive them into that Sea were drowned in the same waters while they were in pursuit of them I know my God whom I serve is able to deliver me from this Sea of bloud as he was to deliver the three Children from the furnace Dan. 3. And I most humbly thank my Savior for it my ●●●●lution is as theirs was They would not worship the Image which the King had set up nor will I forsake the Temple and the ●●●uth of God to follow the bleating of Ieroboams Calves in Da● 〈◊〉 in Bethel And as for this people they are at this day miserably misled God of his mercy open their eyes that they may see the right way For at this day the blinde lead the blinde and if they go on both will certainly into the ditch St. Luke 6. 39. For my self I am and I acknowledge it in all humility a most grievous sinner many ways by Thought Word and Deed And yet I cannot doubt but that God hath mercy in store for me a poor penitent as we●e as for other sinners I have now upon this sad occasion ransacked every corner of my heart and yet I thank God I have not found among the many any one sin which deserves death by any known Law of this Kingdom And yet hereby I charge nothing upon my Judges For if they proceed upon proof by valuable witnesses I or any other innocent may be justly condemned And I thank God though the weight of this Sentence lie heavy upon me I am as quiet within as ever I was in my life And though I am not only the first Archbishop but the first man that ever died by an Ordinance in Parliament yet some of my Predecessors have gone this way though not by this means For Elphegus was hurried away and lost his head by the Danes Simon Sudbury in the fury of Wat Tyler and his followers Before these St. Iohn Baptist had his head danced off by a lewd Woman And St. Cyprian Archbishop of Car●hage submitted his head to a persecuting sword Many Examples Great and Good and they teach me patience For I hope my cause in Heaven will look of another dy than the colour that is put upon it here And some comfort it is to me not only that I go the way of these great Men in their several Generations but also that my Charge as foul as it is made looks like that of the Jews against St. Paul Acts 25. 8. For he was accused for the Law and the Temple i.e. Religion And like that of St. Stephen Acts 6. 14. for breaking the Ordinances which Moses gave i.e. Law and Religion the Holy Place and the Law ver 13. But you will say do I then compare my self with the integrity of St. Paul and St. Stephen No far be it from me I only raise a comfort to my self that these great Saints and Servants of God were laid at in their times as I am now And it is Memorable that St. Paul who helped on this accusation against St. Stephen did after fall under the very same himself Yea but here 's a great clamor that I would have brought in Popery I shall answer that more fully by and by In the mean time you know what the Pharisees laid against Christ himself Iohn 11. 48. If we let him alone all men will believe on him Et venient Romani And the Romans will come and take away both our place and the Nation Here was a causeless cry against Christ that the Romans would come and see how just the Judgment of God was They crucified Chri●t for fear lest the Romans should c●me● And his death was it which brought in the Romans upon them God punishing them with that which they most feared And I pray God this clamor of Venient Romani of which I have given no cause help not to bring them in For the Pope never had such a Harvest in England since the Reformation as he hath now upon the Sects and Divisions that are amongst us In the mean time by Honor and Dishonor by good Report and evil Report as a deceived and yet true am I passing through this world 2 Cor. 6. 8. Some particulars also I think it not amiss to speak of 1. And First This I shall be bold to speak of the King our gracious Soveraign he hath been much traduced also for bringing in of Popery But on my Conscience of which I shall give God a present account I know him to be as free from this Charge as any man living And I hold him to be as found a Protestant according to the Religion by Law Established as any man in his Kingdom And that he will venture his life as far and as freely for it And I think I do or should know both his affection to Religion and his grounds for it as fully as any man in England 2. The second particular is concerning this great and populous City which God bless Here hath been of late a fashion taken up to gather hands and then go to the Great Court of the Kingdom the Parliament and clamor for Justice as if that great and wise Court before whom the Causes come which are unknown to the many could not or would not do justice but at their appointment a way which may endanger any innocent man and pluck his bloud upon their heads and perhaps upon the Cities also And this hath been lately practised against my self the Magistrates standing still and suffering them openly to proceed from parish to parish without check God forgive the setters of this with all my heart I beg it but many well-meaning people are caught by it In St. Stephens Case when nothing else would serve they stirred up the people against him Act. 6. 12. And Herod went the same way When he had killed St. Iames yet he would not venture upon St. Peter till he found how the other pleased the people Acts 12. 3. But take heed of having your hands full of bloud Isa. 1. 15. For there is a time best known to himself when God above other sins makes inquisition for bloud And when that inquisition is on foot the Psalmist tells us Psal. 9. 12. That God Remembers but that 's not all he remembers and forgets not the Complaint of the poor i.e. whose bloud is shed by oppression ver 9. Take heed of this 'T is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God Heb. 12. but then especially when he is making inquisition for bloud And with my prayers to avert it I do humbly desire this City to remember the Prophecy that is expressed Ier. 26. 15. 3.
