be power saith the Apostle it must be Divine of and from GGD In a word if GOD hath indeed constituted and hath had a Church upon Earth for these 1500. years it under CHRIST and his Apostles hath been by through and under Bishops Other fashion of Church never yet appeared for so long then what this Covenant vows Root and Branch to destroy and hereby the temporall kingdom of GOD. The Mechanicall part of this our misery in the hands of their Engineers 2 Instruments of oud servitude and their not now servants hath been wrought by two main Instruments the wealth of the City and the defection of the Navy Upon the former other Nations looked with envious comfort As upon the Liver too bigge for the Land like to enflame and corrupt the strength thereof Upon the other with dread as upon the Arms and Legs of this Nation too long sinewy and active for them But which if Christianity could have subdued naturall malice at home and abroad might have proved the Arsenall of Europe and have carried our miseries home to the doores of Christianities foes Or yet have done better and have carried Christianity into the Pagan world which certainly better deserves it then we who thus use it Heu quantum potuit terrae caelique parari Hoc quem civiles hauserunt sanguine dextrae For the City I shall make bold to crave whether or no that be deniable which the generall Complaint puts upon you And whether or no your selves conceive The Cities wealth that for the greater part your wealth hath been so conscionably gotten that there can be sufficient ground for hopes that it might be comfortably spent Or this that the riches of the Country are transplanted into the City and the manners of the City sent out into the Country That your pride hath enflamed the whole Kingdom That your fraud hath impoverished it That your luxury hath infected it and your illiberality except to vain glory and your selves hath spoiled it 's ancient Hospitality But which is the greatest mischief that the contagion of equall wantonnesse and new fanglednesse in Religion hath spread it's pestilence into the veins and vitals of the whole Nation That you could find millions for others but for the King the Ordinance of God you could not find pounds That you have given so much that you have no power to keep any thing except by your prudent and speedy reconciliation unto your most gracious GOD and your god-like King by an honourable Treaty The mercies of both being like to prove your best Staple For the Navy they have better Sea-room The Navy Royall to bethink themselves as they have blessedly begun both of their duty and of the inexplicable good which by doing of it they may do to all and themselves They have a GOD whose wonders they see in the deep who hath sufficient power they have a King who hath sufficient goodnes to reward them and his glorious Issue with them to enoble their religious courage they have the prayers of all the tryed ones whose Anchor holds through all their Land shipwracks who mourn in their souls for a time to celebrate their praises when they shall have brought full ballast to settle an equall Treaty for the glory of GOD on high Peace upon our Earth and good will amongst men NOW CONCERNING THE REMEDY Remedies First to those who have not worshipped the Beast who have not bowed their knees to Baal nor kissed him with their mouthes who have not so much as petitioned for any fifth part but contentedly abandon the thoughts of their just proprieties From the world-despising Christian while the King wants his they here only want Him under whom by obedience to whom they onely can call any thing upon GODS Earth their own To them mine humble suit is that with heavenly ardour they would endeavour more and more to burn out the drosse of their own frailties That instead of trembling at a seeming calamity they would admire and celebrate the bounty of GOD who hath thought them worthy to suffer and given them something the despising of which might evidence their love to him That as truly spirituall men they may understand this to be All things For it is most equall with God and most advantagious to them that when he sees masterlesse sins grow to that height From Gods glory and Christs imitation that his publick worship will not be permitted in those who aspire in the greatest of humane perfections to represent on his Earth the service of his Angels in Heaven when his bounty is extended to the greatest measure of the receivers capability mans haughty unthankfulnesse will thank trust to and magnifie not his God but himself Then it is most just with God to provide for his greater glory select men who will neither be afraid nor ashamed to have in them acted over again for the raising up of an holy seed in a better generation the gratefull sufferings of his Son CHRIST JESUS and his blessed Martyrs in Heaven 2ly that you would set forth the glory of CHRIST in intensive prayers for those who curse In Christian charity hate and persecute you according to his example gloriously followed by his first yea whole Army of Martyrs Lord lay not this sin to their charge In which particular these our times have not altogether proved barren of right Christian deaths in divers specialties not ever to be forgotten though not to be expected in the cancels of a Letter Heroicall examples Most eminently the Nobility and Gentry for many have an heroick sampler in the most Noble Earl of Strafford the Clergie in the most sublime humility of the Archbishop of Canterbury Morall duty who enjoy Crowns elsewhere and shall have trophies here And yet not to forget our duty for another as not to sell our coat to buy a sword when ever the King shall by himself or lawfull deputation call for our lives and livelihoods but even then to carry with you those right Christian affections as did the primitive Christians when they withheld not themselves from the warres of their Pagan Emperours But never so to look backwards towards our losses or to our provision for those dear hostages of our affections wife or children whom God hath promised us Hating all for Christ to take for his while we persist to do our duties to him but to look forwards towards the glory which is set before us and to the good which we may do to others in fortifying them towards the despising of all that this world affords with relation to the next And yet we shall not do ill Christianly to admonish our prosecutors that had the great Turk himself conquered us whereas through the presumption and connivance of the respective Committees sew or none enjoy a fift part pretended to be allowed to wife and children for 7 s. -6 d. a man the fourth part of our encrease
