will we shall live and do this or that This is not to be taken as if we should to every sentence that we utter adde this clause If God will but that we should be so well instructed in the divine Providence as to know nothing can be done without the will of God and thereupon ever to have in our minds that reservation If the Lord will Thus by submitting our wills to Gods will we shal be sure both to have our wills effected yea also that to be effected which is the best Gods will will we nill we shal be accomplished If then we will nothing but that which may stand with Gods will in the effecting of Gods will our will must needs be effected And because Gods will ordereth and disposeth all things to the best on the same ground that which we will must needs fall out to the best But suppose our will should wish any thing that God would not have what skilleth it We may know what we would have but God knoweth what we should and shall have It is therefore much better that our purpose and desire be crossed if at least it be contrary to Gods then effected If Gods counsell and determination be accomplished as accomplished it shal be it is enough My will therefore shall take the pattern of our Saviours for her guide and in all cases say as he did in a most extreme case O my Father not as I will but as thou wilt Mat. 26. 39. O how impious sacrilegious and blasphemous yea atheisticall and Luciferian was that speech of a Pope who being forbid by his Physitian a meat that he liked replied that Iulius 3. he would have it in despite of God Such are the thoughts if not the speeches of many presumptuous spirits §. 11. Of Contentednesse VII * * * See §. 5. COntentednesse is requisite in all estates The extent of Gods Providence giving evidence to Gods disposing and ordering all estates if men rest not content in their estate they manifest a discontent at his Providence Surely he had an eye on Gods Providence ordering his estate who in his great affliction said a a a Psal 39 9. I was dumbe and opened not my mouth because thou Lord diast it And he who having heard a judgement denounced against him which would make a mans eare to tingle againe replied b b b 1 Sam. 3. 18.

Hezekiah and others manifested great contentednes in great extremities But most pertinent to our purpose is this of S. Paul f f f Phil. 4 11 12. I have learned in whatsoever state I am therewith to be content I know both how to be abased and I know how to abound every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry both to abound and to suffer need g g g 1 Tim. 6. 10. Heb. 13 5. To this contentednesse we are all exhorted by him that had so well learned it himselfe Well it beseemeth the sonnes of God children that have so high and heavenly so potent so prudent so provident a Father whose Providence extends it selfe as to all creatures not the least excepted so to every thing that appertaineth to them seeme it never so small as to their haire the number and colour thereof and to the just pitch of their stature well I say it beseemeth children that have such a Father to rest contented with that estate wherein he setteth them Whatsoever the present estate of Saints is God hath set them therein On this ground as when we are in high and honourable places when we abound in wealth when we have good health when we enjoy peace or any manner of prosperity we ought to be perswaded that these are good for us so on the other side when we are in meane places when we are pinched with poverty when we are visited with sicknesse when we are molested with sundry troubles when we are pressed with all manner of adversity to be perswaded that even these latter estates are best for us at that time when and so long as we are in them For our estate of what kind or condition soever it be is disposed by our Father before mentioned and he knoweth what is fitter for us then we can know Therfore the Lord here in this text speaking of the extent of the divine Providence putteth them in mind of this Father saying A sparrow shall not fall to the ground without YOVR FATHER Faith herein will make us thankfull for all manner of prosperity as proportioned out unto us in wisdome and love by this our Father and patient under all manner of adversity as laid upon us in like wisdome and love by the very same Father This is rightly and truly to be * * * 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 praesentibus content with things present or with such things as for the present we have or with the estate wherein for the time we are §. 13. Of ascribing the glory of all deliverances to God VIII * * * See §. 5. THe glory of all deliverances is to be ascribed to God For by that Providence which extends it selfe to all things deliverances from enemies from dangers from distresses from all manner of evils are obtained But that is the Providence of God To whom then if not to him shall the glory thereof be ascribed Hereof we have spoken * * * The Churches Conquest on Exo. 17. 15. §. 77. before Onely here learne we to apply this generall point to such particular deliverances as God hath given unto us Considering therefore that this our land which hath now for many yeares enjoyed the bright pure comforting sanctifying and saving light of the Gospell lay for many hundred yeares together in the dismall and damnable darknesse of Popery we are oft to call to mind and duly to meditate on the means and times whereby and wherein the divine providence hath brought into our land this light to discover and drive away that worse then Egyptian darknesse of Popery For instances take these 1. Iohn Wickliffe about the yeare 1371 in the raigne of Edward 3. even in the midst of popish darknesse held out the light of the Gospell wherewith many in those dayes were enlightned This fire by the abundance of ashes which the Romish Clergy heaped upon it lay after the death of Iohn Wickliffe smothered up yet were those ashes raked away about 40 yeares after by Iohn Hus and the sparkes of that fire so blowne up as dazled the eyes of the Papists and made them mad againe against those that laboured to bring out those sparks 2.

two Bulls to interdict all claime or title to the Crown of England though never so directly and nearly interessed by discent to all such as would not by their best endeavours promote the Catholique cause and by solemne and sacred oath religiously subscribe thereto But God who approveth our Religion and detesteth their superstition or rather idolatry made all their hopes utterly frustrate For in the setting of one Sun immediately arose another and that in full brightnesse to the unspeakable Occubult sol nox nulla secuta est comfort of all true hearted Englishmen and to the utter astonishment of all popish enemies of this flourishing State In the same morning wherein Queene Elizabeth died Queene Elizabeth died about two in the morning About eight King Iumes was proclaimed at Court about eleven in Cheape-side An Dom. 1603 Reg. 1. was King Iames first at the Court gate and then at the Crosse in Cheape side with wonderfull great acclamations and all manner of manifestations of joy proclaimed King An especiall evidence of the divine providence 2. In the first yeare of his Majesties raigne before he was solemnly annointed and crowned Watson and Cleark two Romish Priests conspired with others some noble men some Knights and some Gentlemen to surprize King Iames and Prince Henry presuming on forraigne forces for aid and assistance thereby to alter religion and to set up such Officers of State as they thought best But their plot before it came to execution was discovered they condemned some of them executed others spared thorow the Kings clemency 3. Garnet and Tresmond Iesuites with Catesby and Tresham before mentioned notwithstanding the death of Queene Elizabeth when they saw that King Iames defended the same faith continued to solicite the King of Spaine to send an army into England to joyne with the forces of Papists here for extirpation of Religion But the King of Spaine being then in treaty with the King of England about peace refused to hearken to any such motion Thereupon they together with other unnaturall and traiterous subjects plotted the matchlesse mercilesse devilish and damnable gun-powder-treason whereof before § 67. If ever the The day appointed to blow up the Parliament with gun powder was 5. Nov. 1605. Reg. Iacobi 3. eye of the divine providence did shew it selfe watchfull for the safety of England it was in the discovery of this plot before it came to execution Wherefore among other deliverances this is to be had in perpetuall remembrance 4. If we consider the great hazard wherin blessed Charles then Prince now our royall Soveraigne was in going to Spaine and returning from Spaine on land and sea and withall if we well weigh the admirable and unutterable benefits which we enjoy by his happy raigne over us we shall find just cause to put the day of his safe arrivall to England 6.

Of the troubles of England from the Conquest to Queene Elizabeths time 1. WIlliam Duke of Normandie surnamed The Conquerour 1066. Oct. 14 got the crowne with much bloud having slaine Harold the King immediately before him two of his brothers and 67974 English men He changed many of the lawes and customes of England He defaced many Churches and depopulated sundry townes to make a forrest for beasts where two of his owne sonnes were strangely slaine The Danes to recover the Crowne in his dayes invaded the land burnt Yorke and slew 3000 men The Scots likewise about the same time made great spoile in England and spared nor sex nor age Much trouble was in the land all his time Being in France and there setting a towne on fire he rode so neare the fire as his horse with the heat therof gave such a leap as it brake the rimme of his belly whereof he died in the 21. yeare of his raigne and 64 of his age Being dead he was denied buriall till much mediation was made and a great composition paid 2. William Rusus son to the Conquerour having an elder 1087. Sep. 9. brother then living came not without difficulty to the crowne He had much warre both with his elder brother Robert and also with his younger brother Henry In his time were many warres with the Scots and Welch much English bloud spilt and himselfe casually slaine by one of his subjects with an arrow shot at a stag in the 13. yeare of his raigne and 43 of his age His corps were caried towards Winchester in a colliers cart 3. Henry 1. youngest sonne of William the Conquerour 1100. Aug. 1. put Robert his elder brother by the crowne whence arose many broiles He getting the mastery over his brother imprisoned him and cruelly put out his eyes He had much warre with the Welch All his children but Mawde his daughter with 160 persons were drowned together He died of a surfeit in the 36. yeare of his raigne and 65. of his age 4. Stephen with perjury usurped the kingdome from the 1135. Dec. 2. fore-said Mawde Besides some warres abroad he had continuall civill jarres at home by reason whereof he was taken prisoner and forced in the end to leave the heire of his opposite to be his successour He died of an Iliacke passion mixed with the Emeroids in the 19. yeare of his raigne His body after it was interred was taken out of the lead and cast into a river 5. Henry 2. sonne of the foresaid Mawd thorow his incontinency 1154. Oct. 25. with Rosamond set his owne wife and children against him which caused perpetuall unquietnesse in his kingdome In one battell at Edmondbury 20000 were taken and slaine He adopted his sonne who laboured to disthrone him in the government and having much embroiled the kingdome he grew so discontented as he curst his children and the day of his birth and in much perplexity ended his daies in the 35. yeare of his

Church in his owne dominions conferred upon him and liberty given him to reforme abuses crept into the Church Thereupon he made Articles and sent out injunctions for removing images reading Divine Service and the Holy Scriptures in English preaching Gods Word catechising children and performing other duties of piety so as the Gospell began to shine forth somwhat brightly in England till about six yeares after thorow the six articles established An. Dom. 1540 by Act of Parliament a cloud was gathered before that bright light That Act for establishing the six articles was among the common sort stiled the Scourge with six strings For many were therewith scourged to death The heads of those six Articles were these 1. Transubstantiation established 2. Communion in both kinds excluded 3. Priests mariage prohibited 4. Vowes of chastity warranted 5. Private Masses allowed 6. Auricular Consession justified 3. Edward the 6. comming to the Crowne dispelled the cloud of those six Articles yea and from the mist of other popish remainders so as in his time the Gospell shined out in her full brightnesse But yet about six yeares after by his death a thicker and darker cloud then was in the daies of Henry 8. gathered together in Queene Maries daies and over-shadowed the whole Land Then instead of the heavenly light of the Gospell an hellish light of burning fire brake out to the destruction of many 4. Queene Elizabeth by re-establishing the Gospell as it An. Dom. 1558 were by the brightnesse of the sun put out the fore-mentioned fire and so setled the Gospell of peace in this land as now 73 yeares we have enjoyed with it much externall peace These have beene very speciall deliverances which have apparantly beene wrought by the divine Providence They ought oft to be thought on that our hearts may be the more inflamed to give the glory of them to God To these might be added many other evidences of Gods Providence in preserving the foresaid Queene Elizabeth from many plots and treasons against her Person and life as also in preserving our late King Iames of blessed memory and our now royall Soveraigne But the heads of these have beene distinctly set downe before § 93. 94. §. 14. Of ascribing the glory of judgements to God IX * * * See § 5. THe glory of judgements on the Churches enemies is to be ascribed to God For by the fore-mentioned Providence are they executed He is the God of vengeance Hereof we have spoken a a a Churches Conquest on Exo. 17. 14 §. 66 69. before Onely here I suppose it to be most meet to make a particular and true narration of that judgement which b b b The Downefall was Oct. 26. 1623. This preached 5. Nov. next following ten daies ago befell the Papists in this parish whereof there are many uncertaine reports spread abroad §. 15. Of a downe-fall of Papists An Dom 1623 I Do the more confidently publish this history because I was an eye-witnesse of many of the things therein related and heard from the mouth of such as were present at the sermon the other things For upon the first hearing of the destruction of so many persons as by that Downe-fall lost their lives our Constables forthwith caused the gates of our Precinct it being enclosed about with walls and gates to be shut and raised a strong guard from among the Inhabitants to keepe the house where this accident fell out and to prevent tumult about it Thus thorow the favour of the Constables and Watch who were all my neighbours I had the more free and quiet accesse to view the dead bodies and to ensorme myselfe in all the materiall circumstances of that accident and that I did somuch the rather because the Bishop of London that then was sēt to me to inform my self thorowly of the whole businesse and send him a narration thereof under my hand whereupon I did not onely view matters my selfe but caused Carpenters to search the timber to take the scantlings thereof and to measure the roomes I was also present with the Coroner and his Inquest at their examining of all circumstances about the businesse And where my Lords Grace of Canterbury sent to me to come to him and to bring with me the best evidence I could I got the Foreman and others of the Iury and four persons that were present at the sermon and fell downe with the multitude but by Gods providence escaped death and one that stood without the doore in hearing but fell not all these I got to go with me to Lambith where I heard the witnesse which they gave to my Lords Grace about the matter One that fell with the rest and escaped death was M r.
