all for all or against all when and by whom he please for as his Wisdom is unsearchable so his Power it is unresistable though the Instrument he may use among wise strong rich and learned men may be mean and contemptible But ever since that I have been precious in the Eyes of the most great and glorious God I have been honourable therefore I have not coveted after Silver or Gold Houses or Lands Offices or great Places but I have laboured and coveted to get and to keep to prove and to improve Rich Graces that so my Fruit may be better than Gold and may do more good for the Honour and Renown of the Protestant Religion for the great Exaltation of His Majesty of Great Britain and the great Peace and Prosperity of many Kingdoms than an Army of Men or thousands or ten thousands of Gold or Silver has done I have no grace but what I have received so I have none to be proud of I have not received any but what I have laboured to improve so I have not any to be prodigal with the least grace which I have received from the God of all grace I do esteem it above all the Honours and Riches in the World because that true Grace it is abiding satisfying lasting and everlasting but for the Honours the Riches and Pleasures of this World they be short they be not abiding satisfying nor long-lasting therefore they that would have Grace which is Heavenly Treasure to thrive in their Soul they must value and esteem it above Silver and Gold To be made Partaker of the Divine Nature it is high Honour and great Favour The Righteous shall be glad in the Lord because they trust in him and all the upright in heart will glory Salvation comes not from the Mountains nor from the Hills not from wise strong rich and learned men but from the Lord who made the Earth and the Heavens and that when and by whom he will that all the Glory may redound to him for his right Hand and holy Arm hath the preheminence over all persons in all Nations Let them shout for joy and be glad that favour my Righteous Cause yea let them say continually Let the Lord be magnified which hath pleasure in the Prosperity of his Servants and my Tongue shall speak of his Righteousness and of his Praise all the day long for he hath done marvellous things All the Ends of the Earth that have not seen will see the Salvation of God He maketh Wars to cease unto the End of the Earth He breaketh the Bow and cutteth the Spear asunder and burneth the Chariots in the fire when he pleaseth and by whom he please in these days of the Gospel and in the Reign of our Royal Soveraign His Majesty of Great Britain They that trust to their Chariots and Horses will fail but they that trust in the Lord Jehovah in the use of Means and above Means will prevail There is a River the Streams thereof will make glad the City of God which is the Church of God throughout the whole World For one fair Flood doth send abroad such pleasant Streams apace to refresh the City of our God and to wash his Holy Place Is not the Mighty God in Sion Go walk about and go round about her tell the Towers thereof mark ye well her Bulwarks consider her Palaces that ye may tell it to the Generation following for God who is most wise and most strong is with her and is known in her Palaces for a Refuge She is Beautiful for Situation the Joy of the whole Earth is Mount Sion and the City of the great King The Kings of the Earth in these days of the Gospel and in the Raign of our Royal Soveraign His Majesty of Great Britain they will admire her Wisdom Power and Strength her Honours Riches and great Glory Shall Deliverance be at hand and the Church of England at a stand Shall there be a Well of Water near Hagar and she weep and be in distress Who hath heard such a thing who hath seen such things Shall the Earth be made to bring forth in one day Or shall a Nation be born at once For as soon as Sion travelled she brought forth before her pain came she was delivered of a Man-child Shall the Lord who is most Wise and most Strong bring to the Birth and not cause to bring forth or cause to bring forth and shut the Womb saith thy God No it will not be for in these days of the Gospel and in the Reign of our Royal Soveraign His Majesty of Great Britain the God of Heaven has many Sons and Daughters that are grown up and many to be brought up and more to be brought forth in the use of the Means of Grace which he has appointed and the Church of England has ordained but all the Children of the Most High that are brought up and grown up and to be brought forth all is to be in opposition to the Turk the Pope and the Devil and all the Workers of Evil which will tend very much 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 the great Joy and Triumph of the Church of England the great Exaltation of His Majesty of Great Britain and the great Peace and Prosperity of many Kingdoms O that the Sons and the Daughters of Men were wise for to make an Improvement of the Wisdom and Power of the God of Heaven which is better than Strength or Weapons of War or Silver or Gold As for the Wisdom that is in the World among unbelieving Jews bruitish Atheists wicked and bloody Papists and rebellious Dissentors and Sectaries it is foolishness and doth many times end in madness for where Envy Strife and Contention is it brings forth too often Sedition and Rebellion But the Wisdom that is from above it is pure and peaceable gentle and easie to be intreated full of mercy and good fruits without partiality and without hypocrisie but where Pride Envy Strife and Contention is there is Confusion and every evil Work Now a good man and a bad man will be known by their Fruits for of Thorns men do not gather Figs nor of a Bramble-bush gather they Grapes but every Tree will be known by his own Fruit. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good that which is suitable and seasonable prositable comfortable and advantageous to many Persons and Families in a City and in a Kingdom But an evil man who is a wicked man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil to the great hurt and undoing of too many Persons and Families in a City and in a Kingdom It is commendable for the Sons of Men the wisest the strongest the richest and the most learnedst among them for to have always their heart to be Inditing

and as the flower of the field the grass withereth the flower fadeth but the Word of thy God O Church of England shall stand for ever Heaven and Earth will sooner fail than one Tittle of Gods Word Where the Word of a King is there is Power but how much more where the Word of the everliving God is when it is set on by his Spirit which is a Spirit of Power of Might and of Majesty It is a meek and a quiet Spririt an humble and a holy Spirit and it is the highest loftiest and most noblest Spirit it is such a Spirit that it will enable them that will be ruled by it for to attain retain maintain and proclaim that which is most noble excellent and advantageous for the great Honour Peace and Prosperity of a King and Kingdom Let all People in all Nations rejoyce in him that made them let the Children of Zion be joyful in their King The Lord shall Reign for ever even thy God O Church of England unto all Generations therefore praise him all ye Nations let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord Praise him for his mighty Acts who can express the Noble Acts of the Lord they are so many and great Not men or Angels His wondrous Works in the Land of Ham and fearful things by the Red Sea The Lord is good to all and his tender mercies are over all his works the Lord is great and greatly to be Admired and Adored he is clothed with Honour and Majesty who covereth himself with Light as with a Garment who stretcheth out the Heavens like a Curtain who layeth the Beams of his Chambers in the Waters who maketh the Clouds his Chariot who walketh upon the Wings of the Wind who maketh his Angels Spirits his Ministers a flaming Fire who laid the Foundations of the Earth that it should not be removed for ever the Lord of Hosts is his Name To be much in meditation of him will be sweet to the Soul and health to the Body I will be glad and rejoyce in the Lord as long as I live I will sing praise to him while I have my being for he hath redeemed my Life from Destruction and hath Crowned me with Loving-kindness and tender Mercies who satisfieth my Mouth with good things so that my Youth has been renewed as the Eagles Well may my Soul therefore bless the Lord and all that is within me bless his holy Name Bless the Lord O my Soul and forget not any of his Benefits who forgiveth all thine Iniquities and healeth all thy Diseases The Glory of the Lord shall endure for ever the Lord will rejoyce in his Works the Lords Throne is in the Heavens and his Kingdom ruleth over all Therefore bless the Lord ye his Angels that excel in Strength bless ye the Lord all ye his Hosts ye Ministers of his that do his pleasure bless the Lord all ye his Works in all places of his Dominion Is it not in vain for the Church of England for to pray O God make speed to save us O Lord make hast to help us and do not mind and regard when and by whom he will do it by whom can do it when he will so he will do it by whom he will and not when and by whom Wise Strong Rich and Learned-men please the meaner and weaker the Instrument is whom Almighty God doth use the greater is the Sin of them that do him slight under-value and refuse Long may the Church of England look for Peace and meet with Trouble look for Health and meet with Disappointment when she is not careful to mind the Day of her Visitation Shall the Stork in the Heaven know her appointed time and the Turtle and the Crane and the Swallow observe the time of their coming And shall not the Servants of the Lord understand his Mind so as to endeavour to prevent his Judgments Are they not counted wise-men that have the Law of the Lord with them But are not such wise-men many times dismayed ashamed and taken when they do reject the Word of the Lord and rely upon the Traditions and Inventions of Mens making and framing which are neither agreeable nor suitable to the Word of God which is the Word of Life and of Power What wisdom is in such men then that wisdom which will deceive them Who is so blind as they that should see most and deaf as they that should hear best Is there no Balm in Gilead is there no Physician there Doubtless there is Is not the Lord the Lord Jehovah in whom is Everlasting Strength in Zion Is not her King in her and for her and with her Why then is not the health of the Daughter of Gods people recovered Is there not any that stirs up himself to take hold of the true and everliving God as they ought and should do therefore hath the Lord who is full of Wisdom Power and Strength hid his Face from us And by reason of our many great and grievous Sins we have all been very much afflicted and consumed But where is the man that lays it so to heart as to stand up in the Gap to make up the Hedge so as to turn away Gods Wrath that for a long time has burned like Fire against England Scotland France and Ireland Who can stand before the Lord who is most great and most good when once he is angry doth not the Mountains quake at him and the Hills melt And is not the Earth burnt at his Presence yea the World and all that dwell therein when he pleaseth Therefore the Wicked and all the Workers of Iniquity the Seed of Evil-doers the Children of Disobedience the Enemies of the Gospel and the Protestant Religion will be ashamed confounded and at last destroyed if that they do not in time humble themselves under the hands of the Great and Mighty God who is Possessor and Commander of Heaven the Earth and the Sea and all things that in them be The Righteous shall rejoyce and be glad but the Sinners in Zion in the Church of England will be afraid Fearfulness hath surprized the Hypocrites already Who among the Sons of Men in the Church of England that can dwell with Devouring Fire Who among them can dwell with Everlasting Burnings He that walketh Righteously and worketh Righteousness that speaketh uprightly he that despiseth the Gain of Oppression that slacketh his hands from holding of Bribes that stoppeth his Ears from hearing of Blood and shutteth his Eyes from seeing of Evil he shall dwell on high his place of Defence shall be the Munitions of Rocks in time of Famine he will be fed Bread shall be given him his Waters shall be sure he shall see the King in his Beauty he will behold the Land that is very far off But what will become of them that serve graven Images and boast themselves of Idols they will be ashamed and confounded in these Days of the Gospel if that they do not
