of Faith which is the Power of the God of Heaven Men of Renown have Subdued Kingdoms wrought Righteousness Obtained Promises Stopped the Mouths of Lyons out of Weakness were made Strong have waxed Valiant in Fight and turned many to Flight Divine Faith which is more Precious then Gold will Enable a Man to be as bold as a Lion stronger then Samson and Wiser than the Devil in the overcoming of Evil and the doing of Good in his Generation for the great Honour of God the King and Nation but the want of so Excellent a Jewel as Divine Faith which is a Supporting and a Comforting Grace will make all the Workers of Iniquity throughout the whole World to Tremble for all their Carnal Wisdom Power and Strength it is not said that a Man shall Overcome the World by his Wisdom Power and Strength but by his Faith by Beleiving in the Son of God and owning of him and appearing for him It is by Faith I stand and by Faith that I do Understand the Mind of the God of Heaven what is to be done among the Sons of Men the Wisest and the Chiefest among them in these Days of the Gospel for the great Honour and Renown of the Protestant Religion for the great Joy and Triumph of the Church of England for the great Honour and Exaltation of our Royal Soveraign His Majesty of Great Britain and for the great Joy Peace and Prosperity of many Kingdoms To Write and to Speak the same thing again and again it is needful when it is Suitable and Seasonable Profitable Comfortable and Advantageous to a Person a Family a City or a Kingdom In these Days of the Gospel and in the Reign of our Royal Soveraign His Majesty of Great Britain it will be known who are Sons of the Church of England and who are Sons for the Church of England many may be Sons of the Church of England that be a Burden and Reproach to the Church of England but to be a Son for the Church of England doth Imply to seek the Good and Welfare of the Church of England the Peace and Settlement of the Church of England the great Joy and Triump of the Church of England which will bring great Honour and Exaltation to His Majesty of Great Britain and great Peace and Prosperity to his Kingdoms There is a Generation among the Sons of Men that have a Name to Live and are Dead that be pure in their own Eyes but yet not Cleansed from their Iniquities these are too Wise for to say our Saviours Prayer and the Church of England's Prayer because they have been so long Ruled by the Prince of the Air who Rules in the Children of Disobedience and is Active with them in all their Treasons These have made the Church of England Black with Reproaches cast upon her but she is Comely in her Graces before the God of Heaven and in her Carriage before Wise and Understanding Men but before them that be more Nice then Wise she is Despised in their Eyes But in these Dayes of the Gospel the Lord who is most Wise and most Strong will make it appear who be for him or against him and his Annointed our Royal and Gracious Soveraign The Lord whose Wisdom is unsearchable and his Power unresistable is a Wonder-working God the Wonders that he has wrought for his Children when they have been Sould and Bought is to be Admired and Remembred by all Persons in all Nations How was the Jews sold and bought to be destroyed by that wicked Haman and flattering Courtier But what did he get but shame and confusion for he was taken in his own Net did fall into his own Pit and his violent Dealings came down upon his own Pate for he was hanged upon the same Gallows that he built for faithfull and honourable Mordecai What got the Spanish Aâ—adâ— and the Gun-powder Traytors against Englands Royal Church and State Were they not ashamed confounded and many destroyed O that men would praise the Lord for his goodness and for his wonderful works unto the children of men How many times has the Lord of Hosts saved and delivered England again and again when that they have been sold and bought to have been destroyed by the Pope the French King and the King of Spain But the God of Heaven doth Night and Day watch over and defend this Nation to bring the Enemies of his Gospel to thame and desolation that will not conform and reform to the Pretestant Religion as it is Established in the Church of England For a long time the Turk the Pope the French King and the King of Spain have kept many Nations in slavery for the Devil and their own lust But the time is come that in these days of the Gospel and in the Reign of our Royal Sovereign will their Wisdom their Power and Strength their Honours and Riches their great and high Places be soon laid in the dust but for the great Honour and Renown of the Protestant Religion for the great Joy and Triumph of the Church of England for the great Peace and Prosperity of many Kingdoms will His Majesty of Great Britains Crown and Kingdoms flourish among all Nations while there is a Generation So that the God of Heaven will bless the Earth with great encrease and among all people in all Nations there will be a Free Trade great Joy and a lasting Peace It becomes all the Ministers of the Gospel all wise strong rich and learned men that will prove themselves faithful to the God of Heaven to His Majesty of Great Britain to the Protestant Religion and to the Church of England for to countenance and encourage this Noble Design that Divine Wisdom and Power has enabled me for to make known in time for the great Joy Peace and Prosperity of Mankind Let the man be what he will or whom he will whom the great Great and the Mighty God doth stir up to engage with him for to make known his Mind for the great Honour and Exaltation of a Kings Person and the great Peace and Prosperity of many Nations that Man ought to be minded and regarded by the Wise Godly and the Learned because that his Work is high and honourable Work pleasant prositable and delightsom Work and will prove victorious glorious and crowning Work it will Crown the God of Heaven with much Glory among the Sons of Men and our Royal Sovereign His Majesty of Great Britain with great Honour and Power over them over all Heathen and Popish Kings Priests Princes and Emperours in the world That this may be done and well done let all that do profess the Protestant Religion that can pray pray for the long life and prosperous and victorious Reign of our Royal Sovereign his Majesty of Great Britain that the Lord would enable him to be as Good as Great and keep him at all times and in all places as the Apple of his own Eye the Lord deliver him always
faithful to the God of Heaven to the Protestant Religion and the Church of England Would Men be Wise Strong Rich and Honourable Persons most Excellent Persons more Precious than Gold or the Gold of Ophir they must labour to get and to keep a Sound Heart which is the Life of the Flesh a Wholsom Tongue which is a Tree of Life and Righteous Lips which are the Delight of Kings He that Loveth Pureness of Heart for the Grace of his Lips the King will be his Friend The Heart of the Wise teacheth his Mouth and addeth Learning to his Lips The Wise in Heart shall be called Prudent and the Sweetness of the Lips Increaseth Learning The Wise shall Inherit Glory but Shame will be the Promotion of all them that do prefer the Pleasures of Sin that lasts but for a Moment above the Gain of Godliness that lasts for Ever Godliness it is great Gain and will bring Men to great Fame that be Faithful to the God of Heaven to his Annointed our Royal and Gracious Soveraign His Majesty of Great Britain to the Protestant Religion and the Church of England To Fear the God of Heaven and to Honour the King His Majesty of Great Britain it is true Religion which is taught in the Church of England There is no Place Calling or Condition that will Honour Men if that they be not Careful to Honour God and our Royal King in them For what-ever Honours and Riches that Men do get if that they do not Honour the God of Heaven and His Majesty of Great Britain their Honours and their Riches will prove uncertain and their Lives will prove uncomfortable But if that Men will do that Worthy thing as to know when and how for to Honour the God of Heaven and our Royal Soveraign His Majesty of Great Britain in this World it will bring them to great Fame and in Heaven with Holy Angels for ever to Remain If there be Joy in Heaven at the Conversion of a Sinner how much more ought there to be in the Church of England when this Sinner shall bring forth the Fruits of Righteousness for the Glory of the great and Mighty God for the Credit of his Holy Gospel for the great Honour and Renown of the Protestant Religion and for the great Exaltation of His Majesty of Great Britain which will bring great Joy and Triumph to the Church of England and great Peace and Prosperity to many Kingdoms They that would bring great Honour to the God of Heaven and to His Majesty of Great Britain must get a Sound Heart and to get a Sound Heart Men must Labour to get a Sound Faith which is more Precious then Gold and doth require more Wisdom Power and Skill to Prove it Improve it and to know when and how for to Manage it than it is to Sway a Scepter and to Rule a Kingdom and more Honour than it is to wear any Earthly Crown This I declare that no Subject whatsoever should Desire or Covet after the Growns and Scepters of Kings and Princes in this World but if that Men will Covet after a Crown let it be an Immortal one which the Righteous Judge will give to all Faithful ones for those that be Faithful to the Death he will give the Crown of Life That Crown which will never Rust when all the Glory of this World will be laid in the Dust A Sound Faith is more Precious then Gold or the Gold of Ophir because it will purifie the Foulest Heart it will in time make a mean Man Honourable a Poor Man Rich a Weak Man Strong a Sick Man Well and a Dying Man Happy which all the things in this World cannot do Divine Faith which is more Precious than Gold it is the Gift and Power of the great and mighty God it is not in the Power of any Mortal Men to give it to their Nearest and their Dearest Friend Parents cannot give it to their Children nor Ministers to their People but the Lord gives it when he will and to whom he will in the use of those Means that he has appointed and the Church of England has Ordained and that is hearing the Word of God Preached Divine Faith which is more Precious then Gold comes by Hearing but not for Hearing Hearing the Word of God is the Instrumental Cause but our Saviour is the Original Therefore he is worthy for to have the Honour and the Glory of the Actings of every Mans Faith because that he is both the Author and the Finisher of it And though it is not in the Power of all the Ministers of the Gospel in London or in England to beget a Spark of Faith where it is not yet it ought to be their great care to take notice where it is wrought and to Countenance and Encourage that Person that has it for to bring it forth because that it is such a Spark that it will in time break forth into a Flame for the Glory of Gods great Name and to put the Turk the Pope and the Devil and all the Workers of Evil to Shame and to bring His Majesty of Great Britain and the Church of England throughout the whole World to great Honour Renown and Fame And that without having a Sword in the Hand of Men or Money at Command without making a Noise about Religion without making of many Words or having the Voice much heard As Divine Faith is a High and Honourable Grace because it is the Gift and Power of the Great and Mighty God so it will Enable a Man for to prepare High and Honourable Work Pleasant Profitable and Delightsom Work Victorious Glorious and Crowning Work that will try the Wisdom and the Skill the Valour and the Courage of many Wise Strong Rich and Learned Men what they can do and what they will do in these Days of the Gospel and in the Raign of our Royal Soveraign for the great Honour and Renown of the Protestant Religion for the great Joy and Triumph of the Church of England for the great Exaltation of His Majesty of Great Britain and for the great Peace and Prosperity of many Kingdoms that so many Nations may be freed from Slavery and in the whole World there may be great Joy Peace and Prosperity Faith that is true works by Love and Love seeks not her own but the great Joy Peace and Prosperity of many a one in Court City and Countrey As the God of Heaven is a Wonder-working God a Victorious and a Glorious God so Divine Faith which is more Precious than Gold is a Wonder-working Grace a Victorious and a Glorious Grace That Grace which will Enable a Man for to set a-work the Wisdom and the Power of the God of Heaven will Enable him to set a Work the Wisdom and the Power of Martial Men Great are the Noble Acts Recorded in Holy Writ that Gods Worthies have done by the Power of Faith not by the Power of the Sword by the Power
service of the World the Flesh and the Devil and that how few do readily and willingly and cheerfully engage in the service of the God of Heaven whose service is perfect freedom and his work and reward is most honourable They do well that do love their Enemies that do often feed them and relieve them for the Lord doth make his Son to shine both on the Evil and on the Good and sendeth Rain on the Just and on the Unjust To do good to all Men it is commendable but to do good to the Houshold of Faith it is most profitable and will prove most comfortable A Friend loveth at all times but a true and a faithful Friend may be so much displeased as not to manifest his Love at all times Joseph loved his Brethren when he stormed at them spake roughly to them put some of them in Prison and caused Simcon to be bound before their Eyes But as after Storms and Tempests the Sun doth shine most clearest so after great and long Trials Troubles and Afflictions Deliverance will be the sweetest both to a Person a Family a City and a Kingdom Let not any therefore despise the day of small things let not any slight and undervalue the small beginnings of Grace in themselves or others for a spark of Grace well proved and improved will break forth into a flame for the Glory of Gods great Name and to bring a King and Kingdom to great Honour Renown and Fame The greatest Tree was a Plant and the Wisest the Strongest the Richest and most Learned'st Man was a Child They that have truth of Grace let them labour to grow in Grace by improving the means of Grace which the God of Heaven has appointed and the Church of England has ordained for they that do labour to grow in Grace will have increase of every Grace and so will grow in the favour of God and good Men and of the Angels in Heaven They that have truth of Grace and do improve it will have increase of Grace and will never lose it but will know when and how for to use it in the worst of times and before the best of Men for the Glory of the most High and the great Honour and Exaltation of Englands Royal Majesty Were there as many Nations as many Worlds as there be Men there is a way to subdue them for the Glory of the great and mighty God for the Credit of his Holy Gospel for the great Honour and Renown of the Protestant Religion for the great Joy and Triumph of the Church of England for the great Exaltation of his Majesty of Great Britain and the great Joy Peace and Prosperity of many Kingdoms and that is by daily getting Wisdom Power and Strength from him who gives to the whole Creation a Being which Divine Wisdom Power and Strength will inable a mortal Man to prepare high and honourable Works to be managed by many Wise Strong Rich and Learned Men that have their Wisdom their Power and Strength their Honours Riches great and high Places from the God of Heaven The Lord is a high and strong Tower and a Shield to all them that trust in him Great Deliverances giveth he unto his King and sheweth Mercy to his Annointed to David and to his Seed for evermore And who dare say that our Royal Soveraign his Majesty of Great Britain is not of the Seed of David Spiritually the Lord who is most great and most good has known his Soul in Adversity and did bring him to his Throne in great Peace and Prosperity The King trusteth in the Lord therefore through the Mercy of the most High he will not be moved but the right Hand of the Lord will find out all his Enemies he will find out all them that hate him he will make them like a fiery Oven in time of his Anger the Lord will destroy them in his Wrath and the Fire will devour them but the King our Royal Soveraign his Majesty of Great Britain will rejoyce in the Strength of the Lord yea how greatly will he rejoyce in his Salvation the Lord has given him his hearts desire and hath not denied him the request of his Lips but hath given him liberal Blessings and hath set a Crown of pure Gold upon his Head He asked Life of thee and thou Lord of Life hath given it him when he was pursued by unreasonable bloody and deceitful Men for which let all People in England Scotland France and Ireland and in many other Nations praise God and be very thankful The Lord who has wonderfully preserved his Majesties Royal Person for the great Joy Peace and Prosperity of many Nations and has set him and sent him as a Blessing among his People make him glad with the light of thy Countenance Remember him O Lord with the favour of thy People and visit him with thy Salvation that he may see the Felicity of thy Chosen and rejoyce in the Joy of thy People and glory with thine Inheritance in thine everlasting and most glorious Kingdom when this mortal Life will be at end The Lord preserve him both at home and abroad both by Land and Water that so he and his throughout the whole World may bear the greatest sway while time and all things under the Sun doth pass away Make known in time this noble Design for the great Joy Peace and Prosperity of Mankind by John Varney a Member of the Church of England and a Subject to his Majesty of Great Britain but such a Subject that the God of Heaven has honoured among the Sons of Men for to engage with him for to bring about such high and honourable Work pleasant profitable and delightsome Work victorious glorious and crowning Work for the great honour and renown of his Majesty of Great Britain and the Church of England which has not yet been done by all the Parliaments that have been since England has injoyed a King Shall the Church of England which is the Spouse of Christ bring forth Princes each one resembling the Children of a King and she sit in the Dust slighted and reproached by her Enemies both at home and abroad This ought not to be this must not be but the Sons of the most High must appear for her readily willingly and cheerfully As our Royal Soveraign his Majesty of Great Britain has been the greatest Prince in the World for suffering so I shall endeavour in these days of the Gospel by the power of Faith which is the power of God that he may be the greatest King and Emperor in the World and over the World for Wisdom Power and Strength for Honour Riches and great Glory so that those Nations which have paid Tribute to the Church of Rome to their great loss and shame will be glad to pay Tribute to the Church of England for the great Honour and Renown of the Protestant Religion and the great Exaltation of his Majesty of Great Britain because it will be
loth and forsake them In these Days of the Gospel the Lord who is most great and most good most wise and most strong is very angry and has been for a long time with this Generation but most of all with the Ministers of the Gospel throughout the whole Nation for not minding and regarding who hath believed their Report and to whom the Arm of the Lord is revealed for his Arm is very long and very strong and that his Enemies the Workers of Iniquity will know in these Days of the Gospel to their great shame and overthrow Ought not the Ministers of the Gospel to mind what they sow in weakness in whom the Great and the Mighty God doth raise in Power or else they do but undervalue their own Labours and encourage their Adversaries who labour to undermine and overthrow the Protestant Religion His Majesty of Great Britain and the Church of England What have the Ministers of the Gospel to mind Who ought they to mind more than that man whom the Lord of Hosts has made strong for himself and his Anointed when that too many have made themselves strong in Parts against him and our Royal Soveraign His Majâ—sty of Great Britain But what will they get but shame and confusion for they will be brought down and that with a witness Though it is not in the power of the Ministers of the Gospel to beget so Renowned a Grace as precious Faith where it is not yet ought it to be their great Care to countenance incourage and take notice of that person in whom it is wrought because it is such a spark that it will in time break forth into a slame for the Glory of Gods great Name and to put the Enemies of the Gospel to shame It is high and honourable Work that the God of Heaven has stirr'd me up for to make known his Mind for the great Joy Peace and Prosperity of Mankind And I have endeavoured to deny my self to overcome my self and to lay out my self in so noble a Design I have ventur'd my Life endangered my Liberty and have exposed my self to many Losses Crosses and Reproaches to be blam'd sham'd and condemn'd by many men But I had rather be condemn'd for doing well though I do it not so well as I should do by the Sons of Men than to be condemn'd by the God of Heaven for not making known his Mind as well as I can do The Lord is merciful and will pass by many Weaknesses and Infirmities of his Children but he is just and righteous and will punish severely them that be rebellious and disobedient They that know their Lords will and do it not will have stripes enough for though the Lord be slow to anger yet is he great in Power They that do slight and under-value me it is not so much me as they do the Wisdom and the Power of the Almighty who works with me and in me and for me for the Glory of his great Name for the Credit of his holy Gospel for the great Honour and Renown of the Protestant Religion for the great Exaltation of His Majesty of Great Britain above all Heathen and Popish Kings Priests Princes and Emperors in the World which will bring great Joy and Triumph to the Church of England and great Peace and Prosperity to many Kingdoms which will be brought about in these days of the Gospel in spight of the Turk the Pope and the Divel and all the Workers of Evil. It is the Power of Faith which is the Power of God that doth set a-work the Powers of the Soul and the Powers of the Soul set a-work by the Powers of Heaven will be inabled to prepare high and honourable Work pleasant prositable and delightsom Work victorious glorious and crowning Work to be managed by the Powers of the World for the Glory of the most High and the great Honour and Renown of Englands Royal Majesty That all Strife Contention and Wars throughout the whole World may cease that so among all People in all Nations there may be a free Trade great Joy and a lasting Peace The Religion of the Church of Rome must not be Countenanced Encouraged or Tolerated among the Sons of Men in any Nation City Town or Corporation under the Canopy of Heaven because it is a Religion full of Deceit and throughout the whole World the greatest Cheat It is a Religion that is an Idle Fowl that doth at once pick the Purse and damn the Soul It is a Religion managed with all the Crafts of the World the Flesh and the Devil therefore it is a Religion full of Pride Vain glory Hypocrisie and Treachery It is a wicked Religion because it makes them that Conform to it to be seven-sold more the Children of the Devil than they were by Nature All the Sons and the Daughters of Men are bad by Nature but the Religion of the Church of Rome makes Men worse by Practice But God so loved the World that he has sent the Gospel of his Son which is taught in the Church of England that Men might be turned from a state of Nature into a state of Grace and from the power of Sin and Satan into the Glorious Liberty of his Children which is to injoy Power against Sin and Victory over the World the Flesh and the Devil and all the Workers of Evil. But the Religion of the Church of Rome makes her Children Servants to Sin Slaves to the World and the Devil and Enemies to their own Souls and so being hardned in Sin by Custom and Practice they are not afraid nor ashamed to Combine and Design from time to time to undermine and overthrow the Protestant Religion His Majesty of Great Britain and the Church of England But for ever blessed and praised be the God of Heaven who to Admiration from time to time has watched over this Nation that it has not by unreasonable bloody and deceitful Men been brought to Desolation but no thanks be to them that have made a Separation for they have done what they can to put a Sword into our Enemies hand By their Pride and Contention Sedition and Rebellion many have turned Atheists and Papists so that the Church of Rome has been strengthned and encouraged from our Selves Ever since the Church of Rome has made Shipwrack of Faith and of a good Conscience and has preferred their Traditions Inventions and lying Wonders above Gods Commandments which is the Rule of Faith and Manners their Religion has been an abominable Reproach unto Christ and his Gospel They do profess Christ but they do deny him because they will not be ruled by his Word nor have him rule in them by his Spirit They do mock Christ in their Sacraments and persecute him in his Members so that the Religion of the Church of Rome is a bloody Religion upheld by Tyranny and Oppression The Blood that the Church of Rome has caused to be shed in the World from time to time by
Wars Treachery and Cruelty is more than there be men in England Scotland and Ireland And yet the Church of Rome the Mother of Harlots that Scarlet Whore is not satisfied but the Righteous God to whom Vengeance doth belong though he be slow to Anger yet is he great in Power therefore he will give her Blood to Drink because she is worthy The Day of thy Calamity O Church of Rome is at hand that so many Nations may be freed from Slavery and throughout the whole World there may be great Joy Peace and Prosperity For thy Pride and Vain-glory thy Formality Hypocrisie and Treachery the Misery that will come upon thee maketh hast Therefore Cry and Howl you Inhabitants of Rome for Antichrist must come down and all those that will uphold his Crown to that end the Lord of Hosts who is Strong and Mighty in Battel who has all Power in his own hand and the whole Creation at command has stirr'd me up to engage with him to stir up all the Kings and Princes in the world that will own him to bring down his Implacable Enemies that be against him as the Turk the Pope the French King and the King of Spain because they be Enemies to his Gospel and his Children who are as dear unto him as the Apple of his Eye because they be his purchased ransomed and redeemed Ones they be his justified sanctified chosen and beloved Ones they be his choice Jewels and his great Treasure As for the Workers of Iniquity the Seed of Evil Doers the Children of Disobedience the Enemies of his Gospel who be unbelieving Jews bruitish Atheists wicked and bloody Papists and rebellious Dissentors and Sectaries they be but Lumber and Cumber in the world till they do Conform and Reform to the Lord of Life who is the King of Glory and the Prince of Peace who knows when how and by whom he please with much ease to bring great Peace and Prosperity to a Nation as to a Person happy be they that live to him and live for him they will live for ever with him they will be in his Favour in whose Presence is Fulness of Joy and at whose Right Hand are Pleasures for ever-more It is a great Priviledge to be in the Favour of an Earthly Prince but it is the highest Honour and the greatest Safety to be in the Favour of the God of Heaven who is the Lord of Life and the King of Glory A man may want Money sometimes to help himself when he may be rich and strong in Faith to help others A man may want Money to Trade with men when he may be rich and strong in Faith to engage with the God of Heaven for the Glory of his great Name to have his Enemies brought to shame and His Majesly of Great Britain and the Church of England throughout the whole world to great Honour Renown and Fame True Faith which is more precious than Gold will make a man seeming poor to make others really rich and it will inable a man to make himself in the world of no Reputation to bring others to great Honour and Exaltation Let all that want so rich a Jewel as precious Faith labour to get it from the Lord of Life in the use of those means that he has appointed and the Church of England has ordained and they that have it let them labour to prove it and improve it because it will innoble the Mind and inable the Mind to frame some noble Design and to bring it about in due time for the great Joy Peace and Prosperity of Mankind It has been want of Faith and Love to God our Brethren and Enemies that has caused so much Strife and Contention Sedition and Rebellion which has brought great Disorder and Confusion from time to time among Mankind But the God of Wisdom and Power knows when and how for to bring among the Sons of Men in many Nations Order out of Confusion Light out of Darkness Good out of Evil Peace out of Trouble in the worst of Times and by the weakest of Means that Strife Contentions and Wars throughout the whole Earth may cease All People in all Nations must strive to live in Love and Peace because God is Love who is the Creator of all Men and the Preserver of them That this may be done and well done the Gospel that bringeth Glad-tydings of Salvation must Run and be Glorified where it is not and must flourish where it is that so they that do not know the true God and Jesus Christ whom he hath sent may labour to know him and they that know him let them labour to love him and they that love him let them labour to keep his Commandments because they be not grievous but most pleasant profitable and comfortable But the Traditions of the Church of Rome are burdensom unprofitable and uncomfortable they do deprive Kings of their Priviledges And that is the greatest Freedom which is the Freedom of the Mind and the greatest Liberty which is the Liberty of the Will and the greatest Power which is over Sin the World and the Devil The Church of Rome is too cruel to her Children because she will not let them injoy the Jewels more worth than three Kingdoms And that is a sound Heart which is the life of the Flesh a wholsom Tongue which is a Tree of Life and righteous Lips which are the Delight of Kings but to lye slatter and dissemble is the Church of Rome's Religion The Lips of Truth will be establisht for ever but a lying Tongue is but for a moment Times may be so bad and so sad that many may be brought into such great straights that they cannot tell how to live well by their Estates or their Trades by their Houses or Lands or Offices or great Places but in the worst of Times that can come the Just shall live by his Faith because it is more precious than Gold In time of Famine he will be fed in time of Plague he will be hid in time of War he will not fly in time of Fire he is provided for all Eternity when the Heavens shall pass away with a great noise and the Elements shall melt with fervent heat and the Earth and all the Works that are therein shall be burnt up then the Just and Righteous have an Inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that fadeth not away reserved in Heaven for them Faith that works by Love will inable the Sons and the Daughters of Men to bear much to suffer much to want much and to enjoy much and to do much good in their Generation for the great Honour of God the King and Nation they that can love the God of Heaven for himself will serve him for his Kingdom and they will know that the God of Heaven loves them but not for what they have done and suffered but he loves them for his Son and for what he has done and suffered They that do love God
