oppressing King and his potent partie yet notwithstanding all this mighty work of God our everlasting Parliament would not learn righteousness but went on in the same oppressing courses if not greater until they by walking in the same paths with their Predicessors come to the same shameful downfal which befel them for did not God cause their Sun to set at noon day and did not they go out like the snuff of a candle and have left a foul stink behind them And how contemptible hath God made them in the eyes of the people and although the action was so unheard of and so contrary to the letter of the Law yet I did never hear one so much as mutter against it for the people were sensible of their pe●●idiousness in breaking of their trust by neglecting to seek the publick good of the Nation and seeking of their own particular advancement by unjust practises and bribery and acting of several Treasons against the Nation as endeavoring to cut your Highnes and our Army by assisting of the late King and endeavoring the destruction of this City with many other horrid villanies 〈…〉 e releasing of the Priests and Jesuites and many bloody Irish Rebels the countenancing of the sworn enemies of the Nation and discountenancing of the most cordial friends thereof even to the distruction of some of them their ●●ocking to Goldsmiths Hall by 5 8. or 10 at a time to help delinquents to come of 〈◊〉 an easie rate which to me did then speak thus much that they would have their Estates preserved that so they might be still able to carry on their wicked and hellish design against this Nation But my Lord this is that which doth stick upon the spirits of the people that these men were never questioned for all their villanies committed by them that so there might have been a difference between the precious and the vild that those few that were found faithful amongst them might have been had in singular honour for God had a small handful amongst them of faithful ones who did spend their spirits to keep the Common w●al●h from u●ter desolation and did precu●e some good things for their Country which I think did exceed all that went before them But my Lord I know not what to say to these things more than this that God doth suffer it to be so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled in saying Let God be tr●e and all men lyars and hath not the Spirit told us That because Justice is not speedily executed 〈◊〉 an evil work the hearts of the s●us of men are set in them to do evil and that continually for if Justice had been executed upon William O Couner and his accomplices all the villanies that were committed by our perfidions Parliament Committes and others ha been preve 〈…〉 ed and if Justice 〈◊〉 been done upon them then the enemies du●st not have contiived this destinction against you and this Nation And I beseech you give me leave by the way to tell you that it is impossible to reconcile Christ and Antichrist together and that you cannot with safety put S●●pents in your b●som and not be destroyed by them until their stings be pluck● out For can you remove that enmity which God hath put between the seed of the woman and the seed of the Serpent then you may with safety close with them but if you cannot as I am sure you cannot for it is not in the power of men and Angels to do it then take heed what you do for if you have any further to do with them it will be your destruction Oh I beseech you call to mind the great and unparralel'd mercies which God hath vouchiased to you in England Ireland and Scotland for I dare say you dare not think that you did atchieve them by your own strength or policie or by the power of your own arm and if not than it must need be by the power of the Lamb and if so than certainly he hath merited somthing at your hands by it Therefore why do you so evi●ly requite him and suffer all those mercies to be burie● in oblivion Do you think that he did exalt you to the throne for you to leave him still sitting upon the Dunghi● and suff 〈…〉 h●● Members and the friends of the Common-wealth to be still ●rampled upon and destroyed by unjust Judges and Antichristion Lawyers and such base varlets as dare without ground imprison ●en at their pleasure and constrain others to confine themselves to their own houses to the utter undoing of them and their families chusing that rather than to be destroyed by mercyless blood-sucking J●ylors in stinking prisons My Lord I beseech you remember that you are sworn to maintain the Law and I am sure that all the jugling Antichristan Lawyers in England are not able to produce any Law for these things neither can there be any Law made to destroy the people seeing that the safety of the people is above all Law And now I beseech you in the Bowels of Jesus Christ not to suffer this unspeakable deliverance which doth bring in the bowels of it all our former mercies for if the enemy had now prevailed all the former mercies had been destroyed as if they had never been● Oh let it not be passed over as all the former hath been but let it awaken you to works of justice and mercy and to break off your sins by repentance and your iniquities by showing merey to the p●or for God hath shewed thee what is good na●ely to do justice to love mercy and to walk humble with thy G●d And my Lord you have born the name of a religious man for many years and the Apostle James doth tell us that pure Religion and 〈◊〉 filed before God and the Father is to visite the fatherless and the window in their adversity and to keep our selves unspotted from the world Now if God be pleased to give this mercy such a setting on upon your heart by the power of his eternal Spirit that it doth awaken thee to hearken to the voice of the Lord then thou shalt stand in despite of men and devils but if thou dost refuse to hearken unto the word of the Lord and walk perversly towards thy God I do then tell thee from the mind of God in Scriptures that thou shalt fall and not stand though all the Nations of the Earth should combine together to prevent it For I am sure that all the N●●ions of the earth are not able to rescue one man out of the ●ands of Jesus Christ when he shall seize upon him to call him to an account for his perfidious dealing with him Therefore be wise O Princes and l●arned O Rulers of the earth Kiss the Son least he be angry with you and you perish in the mid way For the Stone which is cut out of the Mountain without hands shall break down all Powers and shall be exalted above the top of all
