and hastens the end of all But besides this Solomon hath a Proverb which I humbly pray that it prove not a Prophesie concerning us The Beginning of strife is as the letting out of Waters I know the common interpretation of this Scripture yet may I without wresting apply it to this sence also The People of God in these nations are as a little Medow encompassed on every side with a stormy Sea of raging Spirits at home and abroad The only Sea-wall that defends this Meadow from these multitudes of waters roaring round about it is the Unity of these Brethren in one Spirit If the least breach be in this our Sea-wall and not suddenly made up How will that Sea of domestick Enemies and foraign Nations break in with its waves foaming and roaring upon us untill it have overwhelmed us so that our place shall know us no more To conclude this first part of my Vse God promiseth by Zachariah to pour out upon his Children a Spirit of Grace that they shal see him whom they have pierced and mourn over him O! that the Lord would at this day fulfil this Scripture in the midst of these Nations that he would pour forth upon al the Members of Christ in England Scotland and Ireland such an Enlightning Spirit such a Melting Spirit of Grace that they may see whom they have pierced even their own Heart their own Life the Lord Jesus in their own Bosomes and in the Bosomes of their Brethren while they pierce one another that they may see how they pour Coals of fire rak't from Hel below upon the Head and into the Bosom of that Body of His of which they are al fellow-members and that having our Eyes opened to see this our hearts might be touch't to mourn kindly over this Jesus over our selves and over each other in Him The second Head Thus I have shewn Why we should mourn Now it follows to let you know What we should mourn for I shal divide this into four Particulars First Let us mourn for the Causes of these Divisions St. James teacheth us Jam. 4.1 that Warrs and Fighting among us are from hence even of our Lusts Let every one now go home into his own Soul and where he finds Covetousness Ambition Self-love Love of Pleasure Love of this World or any other Lust let him bring it forth before the Lord and say This is that Fire-brand which I have brought to kindle or encrease this flame of Contention that devours us Then let him give no rest to himself until he have quench't this Fire-brand and contributed to the quenching of the universal Burnings by repentant Tears and the Blood of Christ 1 Cor. 3.3 St. Paul thus expostulates For ye are Carnal For whereas there are amongst you Envying and Strife and Divisions are ye not Carnal and walk as men See the Reason of our Divisions our want of Spirituality our Carnality O that there were a man whose voyce were heard in the ears of the Lord saying If I had been Spiritual if I had walked in the Image and Likeness of God according to the vertues of God according to the Divine Nature I might have been that poor wise man spoken of by Solomon that might have Saved the City of God among us from these Desolations by its Divisions But now Alas I have been carnal and walked as a man I have been so far from suffering injury that I have done wrong Instead of Beleeving all things for Good I have been swift to hear and to beleeve Evill and have rejoyced in the Evill of others which I have heard When I should have born my own Burthen my self and have born my Brother's burthen too I have cast the whol weight of my own burthen upon others til they have been opprest with it but have refused to touch their burthens with my little Finger In the place of blessing those who cursed and praying for those that persecuted me and this way heaping Coals of the Fire of a Spiritual Love from Heaven upon their Heads Have I not cursed those who have blessed persecuted those who have prayed for me and as I have thought any man mine Enemy cal'd for a Fire of wrath and Vengeance from Hell to take hold of him This this Carnality in my Heart and Life is that Seed out of which Strife and War are grown up to this Heigth and Greatness The Living Viper carries a mortal poyson about with him but being dead as Physitians say makes an excellent Antidote and Cordial By being alive in the flesh and in Carnal Principles we are become a generation of Vipers O! that our Hearts broken and Spirits mortified through an Evangelical Repentance and a lively Faith in the Cross of Christ might now through the Grace and Spirit of Christ become saving Antidotes or reviving Cordials to the poor dying cause of God Interest of his People and the whol Three Nations Secondly Let us grieve for having ministred any Occasion to our Contentions The Fire is lodg'd in the Flint and comes forth from that but it is the striking of the Steel upon the Flint which makes it to fly out Perhaps the Fire of Strife hath come forth from other Spirits but if my want of care and caution my want of exactness and integrity my failing in prudence and tenderness have made me as the Steel which by striking upon another mans Spirit hath drawn forth sparks of Fire or if I by my Over-credulity or Incredulity by my slackness or hast have been as Tinder to receive and cherish those Sparks which otherwise might have dyed I am not to hold my self guiltless but to repent of this also as a Sore Evil among the Saints while they live under the Sun Moses fell in the Wilderness only for the unadvisedness of his words from impatience and hastiness of Spirit under the greatest provocations Thirdly We are to weep for our having been Actors in our Divisions Who can wash his hands in Innocency and say that he hath not been in som kind an Accessary in the Guilt of our confusions although he hath been no Principal Hast thou not contributed to them by advising abbetting encouraging countenancing of them at least by withdrawing that Barr which thou might'st have put in their way by thy Counsel Assistance and Interest Hast thou not been pleasing thy self to think of making out thine own Interest by the publick Discord by a violent and bloody Change when thou shouldst like Curtius have cast thy self with that which was dearest to thee into the Gulf to have stopt the flowing forth of these waters of strife or like Paul been ready to have offered thy self up upon this service of Love to have become a Sacrifice for the Peace of the Church and Nation Fourthly Let us weep and bleed for this if we have been the Authors of these Differences Solomon brings this in as the Highest and Last of those things which the Lord most eminently hates and which are the
