sinnes and abominations are so generally overspred and committed with so high a hand yea that wee are so much worse and worse for being smitten that we seeme desperately incurable falling away more and more though we see so many tokens of the Lords wrath the bloody enemies executioners of his vengeance on every side of us and as we may justly fear so many of these incendyaries the Iesuites and Iesuited Papists in the midst among us Whereupon all sorts even meere naturall men have and do dayly more and more feare some terrible scourge from the Lord and wonder at our peace especially considering the lamentable estate of so many other poore Churches and the restlesse plots of the enemy and most dangerous stratagems against them and us all thorow the Lordes mercy discouered dayly and that yet we have not beene warned by their ensample nor yet so much as in any meete measure as wee ought take their miseries and perills to heart Yea which is more then all these our gracious God would not have us to rest untill we have a due feeling and a right consideration heereof that we principally above all other have bene the men devoted to destruction by the bloody designs of those most barbarous and merciless enemies of the Church and have 〈◊〉 and are most en●…yed and hated by them for that from and by us heeretofore God hath given them the greatest foyles like as I trust he will still do for euermore And which is a higher degree of our danger that wee are not onely guilty of their sinne of carnall Gospelling carelesse profession in shewing forth so litle power in the practise of true piety in our generall and particular callings and duties which is the very life and true power of godlinesse but contrarily by our ungodlinesse our prophanesse and abominations in every kinde we haue in so many even utterly denied all the true power thereof which consisteth in the right performance of all holy duties as being ashamed to bee noted for more sincere profession yea we have so scorned and trampled it under foot as that wee have caused Gods enemies to blaspheme And which is yet also more to anger his heavenly Majesty for that we so generally not onely our Papists and Atheists and all our notorious prophane persons which swarme almost every where but even all sorts of Laodicean luke-warme professors are so farre turned even agaynst Christ Iesus himselfe we may speake it with greefe trembling and that as against our greatest enemy although he hath hitherto so miraculously yea so sensibly and as it were visibly defended and protected us and for that we do yet further dayly rise against him still more and more That all this appeareth most manifestly heerein in that howsoever these can some of them a little indure the outward and common profession of his heauenly Gospell in word yet the power of it to wit to submit themselves to live according to it wherein chiefly his kingdom consists they cannot indure but rather seeme to hate it most deadly And also how this heynous and crying sin sheweth it selfe as in the sight of the Sunne in all the odious names wherewith true godlinesse is branded which are so frequent every where cast upon those that seek thus unfeignedly to turne away the vengeance by endeavouring to walke in all things in all the commandements of our blessed God Wee are therefore euer to be considering and never to rest till we have brought our hearts unto a right feeling of those and all other our most intollerable and lowd crying sinnes and how they are every houre haling and pulling downe the vengeance of God upon us as the like have done upon the other Churches and do stil more and more as they are thus dayly more and more encreased And moreover that there is nothing that keepeth backe his vengeance but onely his infinite mercies and ●…ndlesse patience and compassion which we haue so much abused as that wee may all iustly wonder that it is not turned into burning furie to consume us at once and togither with that his endlesse compassion the lowd cries of his poore children ever sounding in his eares even the cries and sighs of th●…se which are and have beene so hated contemned greeved and injuried by all possible meanes which the Lord hath permitted to bee exercised and practised against them chiefely by all the Popish sort in every place namely against his Prophets and Messengers sent unto us in as much mercie as ever his Prophets were sent to Iudah For which yet when they were so mocked misused the Lord could spare no longer there could be no further remedy but brought upon them the King of Caldea and all other the miseries of their long and wofull Captivity And yet further 〈◊〉 Lord cals on us to bee●…ever pondering how nothing can prevent this wrath to give us any true security of our further escaping either generall on particular but onely our sound and true repentance not in any formall fashion but unfeignedly humbling our selves and rightly endeavouring to take away all our crying sinnes and to stoope unto the Lord our heavenly father doing in all things as hee requireth that his wrath may be fully appeased towards us That untill this time wee live but under a continuall expectation of the direfull execution of all his terrible plagues denounced in his holy word against us either some such sodaine blow of his vengeance to fall upon us as was intended at the powder Furnace or some cruell or bloody inuasion as in 88. or some such ma●…acring as was in the yeare 72. at Paris and lately at Nigripelles in France and Heidelberg●… in the Palatinate or such cruell and mercilesse proceedings as in Bohemia and sundry other parts of the Church from all which evils and the like we are ever to cry that the Lord may evermore in his endles compassion preserve and keepe us And yet to proceed one degree higher The Lord calles lowd upon us to be think our selves wisely of that judgement which is heavyer then al the former if for our contempt of his Gospell and all other our sinnes hee should suffer us as he hath done others to have our Candlestick removed the blessed Gospell of his Sonne the very life of our lives to be taken from us and the most abominable masse even the abomination of desolation to bee set up in the place of it with all the ●…abble of their cursed Idolatry and all filthy abominations of that Strumpet of Babylon and withal to have the bloody knives of outragious and mercilesse Idolaters at our throats every moment of time which Iesuites and others of them so affected are so manifestly yea so shamelesly and impudently plotting and practising day and night against all the Churches and whereof they have thēselves

Religion ●…end wholly to ●…ke us faithfull and loyall subjects to pray for our Kings Princes and to have them in our hearts to dye and 〈◊〉 live with s●…r them and that we dare not have an evill thought against the Lords Annoynted but y● in our patien●… sufferings they may see their duties their devotions ●…ending through the subtilty of Sathan and the Iesuites to make them cleane contrary and to carry false and tray to●… hearts against the Lords Annoynted unlesse the Lord 〈◊〉 wondefully over-rule ●…hem by his holy Spirit For they must of necessity bee so 〈◊〉 for maintaining 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 devotions and obeying their directors and ghostly fathers as to 〈◊〉 to destroy whatsoever 〈◊〉 hinder it to acco●… 〈◊〉 a most meritorious act to destroy all 〈◊〉 principally the chiefe of them Make them to weigh this with themselves how our devotions are made with understanding and so in faith and with a holy zeale without vaine repititions their 's without all understanding in a blinde devotion with 〈◊〉 babling repetition which thou condemnest and 〈◊〉 Finally Good Lord cause them all at length in mercy to understand how our devotions are such as helpe us to live a true Christian life in the practise of all the duties of piety and righteousnesse in examining our spirituall groweth in grace in heavenly meditations and contemplations praiers thanksgivings and the like all directing us to place our whole confidence for our salvation and whatsoever else onely upon thy rich mercy in Iesus Christ ascribing all our salvation to him and his merite alone their 's instead of these workes of piety are in their Masses Dir●… and Letanies even to Saints numbring and repeating upon their beads their 〈◊〉 Nosters Creeds Ave Maries and such other and that in an unknowne tongue without any understanding or right edification So likewise good Lord make them to see and consid●… withall how they set their confidence in these and other their superstitions workes namely and principally in the merite of the virgin Marie and of other Saints in Indulgences and Pardons even for th●… 〈…〉 a num ber of such 〈◊〉 lying vanities whereupon when they come to their death 〈…〉 beth ●…ke themselves a 〈◊〉 more se●…ously they are f●…igne to c●… away all 〈…〉 all these and to accoun●… 〈◊〉 losse and dung 〈…〉 onely upon 〈◊〉 Christ if then they ●…y 〈…〉 ●…ercy by him Yea 〈…〉 to consider well 〈◊〉 tim●… ●…w if ever thou open 〈◊〉 eyes 〈…〉 they 〈◊〉 then cast all these away 〈◊〉 detestation as 〈◊〉 i●… 〈…〉 and rest onely upon Christ 〈◊〉 Christ 〈…〉 ever thou 〈…〉 that me●…y 〈…〉 all good 〈◊〉 〈…〉 more time they 〈◊〉 o●… 〈◊〉 spend in these 〈…〉 more they ha●…●…nd 〈…〉 increase their sinne and make their condemnation the heavier and that one houre yea one minute spent in true devotion onely in the name of Christ calling upon him or thee the Father through him with the repentant Theefe upon the crosse shall bee better unto them then a thousand yeare spent in their superstitious manner And for this cause O●…●…ere Father seeing by their doctrines and devotions they can neuer have that true iustisying and saying faith whereby they might bee made partaker●… of ●…esus Christ and so ●…e thy children having thy 〈◊〉 and love and doing such workes as are pleasing 〈◊〉 unto thee but 〈◊〉 they doe by all 〈◊〉 scorne and persecute 〈◊〉 ●…aith make them all which belong to thy eternall election to know their wofull estate how they must all needs still remaine in the estate of nature and so of damnation untill they repent and turne to our Church againe Cause them Oh most holy and gracious Father to apprehend this and to bee warned in time that seeing their Religion cannot stand or continue 〈◊〉 it bee supported and holden up by lying and murder and that these two are and have beene ever the principall ad●…ancers of it i●… a●… Ages and Countryes that this is notoriously knowne to all who will not sh●…t their eyes And moreover ●…eing th●… this is also their doctrine so to promote and advance it That that Religion is undoubtedly of the devill and that our Saviour himselfe hath in mercy so forewarned them of it that they may get them out of Babylon and stand farre from it for feare of her burning and that they may escape her torment Lord make them able to conc●… that these things being so as their owne hearts must needs beare witnesse if they will suffer their eyes to be opened they must of necessity renounce that Religion or else prosesse themselves to bee of their father the devill as much as ever were the Iewes who sought so to kill our Saviour and that they will 〈◊〉 his workes wittingly and obstinately fighting against thee our blessed Lord and Captaine and against all thy armyes to their utter perdition Good Father make them able to thinke what they will do at that day when thy Son Christ Iesus shall come to take vengeance of all his enemies when all the Kings and greatest Monarchs of the earth who have not helped him and his 〈◊〉 to the advancement of his
