A86157	Heare, heare, heare, heare, a vvord or message from heaven; to all Covenant breakers (whom God hates) with all that hath committed that great sinne, that is, as the sinne of witch-craft. The great God that is most high and infinite, that hath the command of heaven and earth, and of all therein; who hath taken to himselfe that liberty as not to give an account of any of his matters to any of his creatures; and this is the power of his excellency which he holdeth forth for all our learning in his word, and his liberty God hath given to kings on earth: and none may say to the King, what dost thou? And now that Gods commandements hath not been observed, but the power resisted, it is high time that they were.

proceed they did come march through the Citty which was of a Satterday and the second part being againe played upon the same tune but higher they came in and about the Citty this Saterday December the 3 also in the afternoone and in stead of preparing for the Lords day put the Citty Susan in a distraction and perplexity and they in the Subburbs running out of their houses and a great deale a doe to provide for the Souldiers almost all that night Whether they took the King away without any authority from the Parliament on Satterday night or Sabbath day I know not but this I know the Lords day was a wonderfull dark day as ever I saw and if it be but called to minde the unreasonablenesse of the weather that hath bin ever since the King was taken from Holmby and God hath held out by this Summer unto us the strange and preposterous government that is amongst us And now in regard there hath been aboundant of unjust doings in the Kingdome coveting and not onely coveting their neighbours goods but actually the taking away of them multitudes have suffered both they and their posterities are like to suffer hereby and the greatest part of the treasure of the Kingdom gathered into such laps but for this particular here what God sayes Also I shook my lap and said so God shake out every man from his house and from his labour that performeth not his promise even thus be he shaken out Nehemiah 5. 13. and the generall speech to cover unjust proceeding that title of Malignant was the cloak and all that held of the Kings side were to have their goods confiscated for so doing And now I pray consider who hath kept or broken the commandement of the great God of heaven and hath suffered for it but when the Lord hath taken the King out of your hands as he will certainly doe and set him upon his Thron too And when it shall appeare that God doth translate the estates of those that withstand the King to the King then it will plainly be seen or appear that the Lord was highly displeased at the standing out against the King Christs command and example was To give unto Caesar the things that are Caesars and unto God the things that are Gods and had it been so the blessing of God had been upon us at our going out and at our comming in and we had had our peace in our borders but we have been an empty Vine and we have brought forth fruit to our selves according to the complaint of God to the children of Israel Now concerning the Covenant that was made to stand for the Truth the true and pure Religion and to preserve the Kings Person and herein God hath performed his Covenam in preserving the supremacy Prov. 8 yea and hath preserved the Person of the King too But in their Remonstrance there is a dispensation given for it of that sufficiency to free those that doe make a Covenant to maintain true and pure Religion which is to keep themselves unspotted in this world and to preserve such or such a Person and because after they have made the Covenant the other Person will not at their command enter into it at all though they themselves are not in such a capacity to demand such a thing at his hand and because he refused it and will not take it it is said that this tye which they voluntarily bound themselves in and called God to witnesse to it may be broken by man But now seeing there hath been absolution given but not from God to Covenant breakers heare therefore what the Lord saith Zecha 8. 16 17. These are the things that ye shall doe speak yee every man the truth to his neighbour and execute the judgement of truth and peace in your gates and let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour and love no false oath for all these are things that I hate saith the Lord and further hear what the Holy Ghost saies by the Prophet Mal. 3. 5. and I will come near to you in to judgement and I will be a swift witnesse against the sorceters and against the adulterers and against false swearers and against those that oppresse the hyreling in his wages the widdow and the fatherlesse and that turn a side the stranger from his right and feare not me saith the Lord of Host Psal. 119. 104. Mal. 3. 15. Object But some object and say that our Kings are not so constituted nor our laws so as they were in the times of the Kings of Israel and this objection hath caused many through ignorance to stumble and whether the Moral law be not of the same use to us now under the gospel as it was unto the Jews under the Ceremonial law and whether there be not the same penalty by Gods ordination to be executed upon the transgressours as was heretofore and whether every one shal not give an account of all his actions to God Rom. 14. 11 12 Isai. 45. 23. Saint James will tell you they are Iames 2 12. So to be judged every one according to the fruit of his doings Ierem. 17. 10. Iohn 12. 48. Now here is a further word of the Lord that doth put bounds to all that hath or shal be spoke Isa. 57. 21. As for me this is my Covenant saith the Lord my spirit that is upon thee and my words which I have put in thy mouth shall not depart out of thy mouth nor out of the mouth of thy seed nor out of mouth of thy seed seeds saith the Lord of host from hence forth even for ever I have not taken example by your Remonstrance to lay blood at any of your doors no not the blood that hath been shed since you tooke the King from Holmby and that at Westminster you remember and that in Essex For I desire to be acquainted with the Laws and Word of God for the laws of the land I doe not so well know them but I know the pursuer of blood will pursue the guilty person in time Dutro 19. 6. and now a little further concerning the lawes of God which ought to be the highest law to be observed amongst men and it is this Ezera 7 27. And whosoever will not doe the law of God and the law of the King let judgment be executed speedily upon him whether it be unto death or banishment or to confiscation of goods or imprisonment And now that you all are out of Gods wayes and therefore go on further but come quite back again and put your selves into the right way speedily and if you doe not beware of the immediate wrath of the great God that bids you lay down your temporall sword least God cause you to turn it one upon another for you have no cause to hold it forth in this manner And for those that you call malignants there is no question but they may prove as honest men as your selves through
