TIM 2.1 I exhort therefore that first of all supplications prayer intercession and giuing of thankes be made for all men for Kings and for all that are in authoritie that we may leade a quiet and peaceable life in all godlinesse and honestie AND is it true that all these things are so indeed as they seeme vnto vs are we not deceiued do we certainly see one another indeed that we dreame not of that which is but a fancie and beguiles vs are we out of our beds waking and mouing and truly vnderstanding what befalles vs is it day-light are our eyes open is not sleepe still vpon vs or waking dreames presenting vs with imaginations are they not shadowes that are about vs Is it credible that a sinfull Nation so ill deseruing at the hands of God so watcht by enemies in our bosome the most cruell and mercilesse that euer were and threatned by him and his that thinke they haue power to shut vp heauen and restraine the influence of euery creature that waited for nothing as this day but confusion and euery mischiefe to fall vpon vs that their wrath could procure is it I say possible that a people in such danger of shipwracke in good-earnest without dreaming should notwithstanding liue and breathe the same life we did enioy the same mercies of our God the same security the same peace both of State and Church and they lie at our feete like the fiue Kings of Canaan Ios 10.24 that meant to haue deuoured vs and this day which they prophesied should haue bene the dismallest that euer rose vpon the kingdome assemble also together in ioy and triumph men women and little children to celebrate our peace ringing and singing and reioycing before the Lord our maker Parsons the Iesuite a man well knowne to our State and by his owne thought a great Statesman himselfe and wise but he was a cab of dung 2.
