To the HONOURABLE Sir GEORGE BOOTH BARONET one of the Members of the Honourable House of COMMONS The RIGHT WORSHIPFULL Sir RALPH ASHTON of Middleton Knight Baronet And the RIGHT WORSHIPFULL RICHARD HOLLAND Esq Renowned Sirs THis Sermon preached some Moneths since and at the importunity of many Friends now published which hath gotten of all this time of its suspension and intended utter suppression no higher an esteem with its unworthy Author had need when forced out to seek for Patronage Neither are there any to whom I could more willingly and confidently engage my self for such a favour then your selves whom I have cause to preferre in my thoughts not only for your undeserved Respects upon occasion to my self which I would hereby with all thankfulnesse acknowledge but also for the Renowned Undertakings Hazards and Sufferings you have undergone for the Publique It is gratefull to me that I should by the Providence of God Date this Epistle to such a Sermon in this Moneth which but a year since was the season of so many hazards and dreadfully threatning Dangers to your selves principally and to many others with this poor Town of MANCHESTER which so willingly offered themselves with you in that Cause of GOD you so signally engaged in Shall it ever be forgotten by us what the Lord hath wrought May not that holy Providence and Power of his be for ever adored that hath in such a short time turned for us our Mourning into Rejoycing That those proud Waves should be so soon and remarkably broken upon us and be now like waters that are passed away I hope the profit of these Dangers and Deliverances shall remain with us as a sufficient and lasting ground of engagement upon our hearts to fear serve trust and delight in that God who hath thus wrought for us And if this poor service may any way tend to the recording and perpetuating of our sense of this wonderfull Mercy and of our faithfull and loyal engaging for and rejoycing in the glorious Return of his Gracious Majesty to these Nations wherein the People of these Two Counties engaging with you as their faithfull and active Leaders have cause to conceive they have a double share I have the utmost I could aim at in this so despicable an undertaking And humbly craving pardon for this boldness I commit you to the blessing of that God that performeth all things for us And am Your unfaignedly affectionate And unworthyest Servant In the GOSPEL Henry Newcome Manchester Aug. 29. 1660. TO THE Reverend his Worthy Friend Mr. HENRY NEWCOME Minister of CHRIST at MANCHESTER REVEREND SIR ONce more by especial Providence I have had a view of another Sermon of yours In the former you opened a Dore of Hope for Sinners meeting with their God and in this you have opened another Dore for Subjects meeting with their Soveraign The distance betwixt God and Sinners was great Heaven and Hell are opposite and between them there is a great gulf fixed And how powerfully did you make appear that the Gulf might be shot that Heaven and Earth might meet that God and Sinners might be reconciled Ezr. 10 2. Yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing The distance likewise between our Soveraign and his Subjects was very great True Soveraignty is from Heaven Rom. 13.1 The Powers that be are ordained of God But Rebellion and Treason are from Hell they are 1 Sam. 15.23 as the Sin of Witchcraft which is ordered and ordained by the Devil and betwixt these there was a great Gulf or Sea for one Land could not bear them both And yet how ably have you made it appear That Seas might be crossed That the Powers from above and Treasons from the deep might peaceably meet That his Majesty and Subjects might be reconciled It was not impossible with God to bow the hearts of all the men of England even as the heart of one men so that they should send this word unto the King Return thou and all thy Servants Me thinks I look upon these two Sermons as two Twins which though they came not out together in one day yet they were conceived in one Womb and they made haste one after the other And now being come to light they resemble each other both in matter and form As the two Tables were both of Stone and were both hewed by Moses at Gods appointment and in the one of them is written our Duty to God and in the other our Duty to our Neighbour so are these two Sermons for their matter as precious Stones and for their form hewed out by your self by Gods own ordering and in the one of them is written our especial Duty to God pointed out in the first Commandement of the first Table and in the other is our Duty to Man 1 Pet. 2.13 our Head our King our Supream pointed out in the first Commandement of the second Table Eph. 6.2 which is the first Commandement with Promise Were it not pity that any man should put asunder those things which God hath joyned together You have taught us comfortably to hope in God and shall we be deprived of that second Lesson To honour the King What if this Table hath been by some as broken and laid aside the Lord hath put it into your heart to hew it again and by his assistance you have fairly written the words of the Covenant My humble advice is that such a Talent may not be hid and buryed in the Earth but as you have Preached it so you would please to Print it and make it yet more legible to all the World You may think it is now out of Date his Majesty who was invited to Return is now Returned And what then 1. It was one of the most seasonable Sermons that ever I read it was a Word fitly spoken And I should look upon that Book as an Ornament in my Study which I might call Prov. 25.11 Apples of Gold in Pictures of Silver But 2. It is of constant and continual use As the words in the Text were only in season when David lived and when that Negotiation was transacted yet to this day as now we see is that Scripture 2 Tim. 3.16 profitable for Doctrine for Reproof for Correction for Instruction in Righteousnesse So will this Sermon be till the Worlds end From this one
