A96291	A declaration to Great Britain and Ireland, shewing the downfall of their princes, and wherefore it is come upon them: because Christ is riding on his white horse, conquering his enemies till he have destroyed Antichrist, who hath made the nations drunk with the cup of her fornications: and till he have destroyed Mahomet, that great deceiver of the people. / Written and directed to Great Britain, and all other nations; by me Robert Wharton, wel-wisher to my countrymen, and to all the faithfull in Christ Jesus throughout the world. With an humble advice to the Army. This treatise is approved and commended, and thought worthy to be printed, by Master Hugh Peters.	Wharton, Robert, fl. 1649.	1649 (1649)	Wing W1575; Thomason E555_35; ESTC R204066	18,927	28

not know that Christ is on his white horse riding on his journey conquering and overcoming his enemies Revel 6.2 And hath not he set you as watchmen upon the wals to give the people notice what he is a doing is he not going forth to conquer the Kingdoms of the world that they may become the Kingdoms of the Lord and his Christ Then I pray consider what ye have to do forget this darling of the world and set not the people a mourning after him that spared not our bloud but reach the people to mourne after him whom we have pierced with out sins even the Lord Jesus Christ But now let us consider who are our friends concerning the great worke that is now in hand begun in the World are they not they whom you have stirred up in your Sermons to fight the Lords battell against the mighty did you not take up that Text concerning Meroz saying Curse ye Meroz curse ye bitterly the Inhabitants thereof that come not out to helpe the Lord against the mighty have ye not said let him that hath no sword sell his cloke and buy one how have you been the cause partly of raising this Army and how have they prevailed against your enemies even by your prayers I pray remember the condition we were in many times and how the Lord preserved you and us by their hands and how were dayes of thanksgiving stirr'd up by you to the Parliament to cause the people to rejoyce with you and shall all this be forgotten I pray remember Leicester worke what a case were we in then when the Countrey said What will become of the Round-heads now how did you call us together to fasting and prayers and how were your Prayers heard by the Lord and a gracious return from the Lord was sent you by the hands of these men from Nasby then how did we and you blesse the Lord for this great mercie so that ever after out enemies could never prevail such was the great mercie of the Lord to you and us I pray remember what you said some of you when you saw these men give large and mercifull Propositions when they had conquered your enemies at Oxford did you not say that they would prove pricks and thorns in their sides and ours and did it not so come to passe as we have seen and now they have overcome them again by the mighty power of the Lord Christ dashing Babylons brats in pieces ye goe about to hinder them giving their enemies occasion even to curse them as I have heard sure this is a sad case when ye shall seeke to weaken their hands thus strive not against them for had not this been of the Lord they had never done so much as they have therefore count not them your enemies for ye shall have cause to say once more to call them your friends when ye shall see plainly what the Lord is a doing Who knoweth whether the Lord be going to make a new heaven and a new carth or now as is promised in Revel 21.1 Know ye not that when a Noble man goeth to take possession of a great place or house full of lumber that he will cause his servants to cast out all the lumber that he may place his royall furniture in the roome and will not a great Landlord throw out such tenants out of his inheritance that will pay no rent but abuse such tenants that will pay honestly to their power then I pray consider what the Lord Christ is a doing is he not coming to take possession of his in heritance that he bought so dearly of his Father and is not all the world his to do with all his pleasure wil he be tide to the spirits of men to do what they please surely no I pray remember how long the Church hath been in the Wildernesse of the world and how the red Dragon hath cast out flouds time after time to devoure her and how he hath sate like the great Prince of the World upon thrones usurping authority over the Nations and playing the tyrant over the Lords inheritance and now he finds his time grow short and his Kingdoms shall be taken from him he grows mad but now is the time come that he must be cast out one throne after another that the Kingdoms of the World may become the Kingdoms of the Lord and his Christ Revel 11.15 If this be so that the Lord is coming as chiefe Generall with his bow in his hand shooting at his enemies and with his Crown on his head conquering the Kings of the earth and the mighty men trampling them and their crowns under his feet that would not bow to his golden Scepter Psal 2.9 Revel 19.17 18. If this be so that the Lord hath begun already to take possession as may appeare by his doings here as consider what he hath done ever since the persecution in Queen Maries days how have they prospered that have had the mark of the beast in their forehead or that have lent a hand against this work that is going on in the world how hath Spain sped for coming here how hath Denmark sped for sending strength hither to help the King against the Lords work was he not almost beaten out of his Countrey by the Swedes and what became of that Army that the Queen brought over hither all the Irish French and other Nations came not they to their graves and look on Spain and France they must lash on another while we were busied here what King would not help his brother King rather then his Commons should over come him will be an example for other Nations to do the like yet all this will not do therefore let us consider what this power is it is not the power of man nor the sword of Gideon but the power and sword of the Lord as it hath appeared plainly by many examples in this land now if this be the Lords doings here What will be his doings in other lands among the great and lofty Nations where he hath to do Isa 27.23 Me thinks I see them begin to shake now is that red Dragon troubled now are his forces mustering together for the defence of his Babylonians among the Nations but all will not do for now hath the Lord been performing that promise that is spoken of in the 63 of Esay Now is he delivering his people and now he hath begun looke for no change but to goe forward in the World till he hath quite subdued that great enemy of the world that hath so long tyrannized over the Lords inheritance If it be so that the Lord be summoning in the Emperours and Kings with their mighty men to appear before the Bar of his Justice then is it time for us to looke about us and be like the Virgins that have their lamps trimm'd and their lights burning that they may waite on their Master the Lord Jesus Christ Matth. 25. who saith Watch for ye know not when

released banished the land to come no more but marke what befell in short time the King married his daughter to the King of Bohemia who were turned out of their Countrey and have lived as strangers in another Countrey and were maintained by the charge of England and their children fighting against the people of God as ye see to this day when they were turned out of Bohemia the next chance that befall Prince Henry was poysoned thus were his children curb'd and cut off though his children were thus miserably brought under and cut off yet did he not consider nor call to minde wherefore the Lord had brought this judgement on his children but sinned yet more by suffering a Papist house to be built up in Black-friers but marke what befell as soon as they were in their devotions with their strange gods the house fell down on their heads as Dagon fell before the Arke of God where were killed some fourescore persons besides what was maimed yet did not this strange work move him but he sinned yet more sending his sonne to Spain and France to get a wife that served strange gods and to make it appear more procured a Chappel for Papistry to be built up at Saint Jameses where it standeth to this day but take notice what befel him he that was his dearest friend whom he preferred before God and his people became his ruin which was the Duke of Buckingham who with his Mother wrought Sorceries and so poysoned the King as would have been proved if things had been brought to triall thus was his end miserable who preferred the enemies of Jesus Christ before the Lords worship not ruling the Nation in obedience to the Lord this being done and his dayes ended his son snatcht the Crown to his head Reigning in strange manner as ye have seen not ruling the people as in obedience to God and the Lord Christ but as a covetous King to God's dishonour preferring his own designes before Gods word he suffering any thing to be done for money preferring the friends to Papistry before Gods worship and preferring the Duke that helped to destroy his father before the whole Kingdome slighting the whole Nation and set him up in the throne of his heart but miserable was that wicked mans end when he was cut off from him then were the Bishops and their friends set up in his heart he allowing them to do whatsoever they pleased then did they begin to make havock of Gods worship changing the Sabboth into pastimes for people to serve the Devil and set forth an Order for it thinking that for sports and pleasure they could the easier draw the whole Nation to their designe and so put down the true worship of God then was Papistry advanced and all the friends to it in high esteem then did they thinke all was their own and nothing could hinder them so jovially went they on then went the King on in his designes suffering all that could bring money into his Treasury to reigne as petty Kings under him in pilling and polling the Nation by oppression as Patentees and making a new Freedome how many poore apple-women and broom-men rag-merchants and people of all sorts sold and pawned their bedding and their cloaths for a new Freedome and when all was done it proved a very cheat thus was the Kings coffers fill'd with oppression thus did the King his Bishops and his wicked crue reigne for a time But marke what befel when the Lord saw them thus triumphing in their jollity like the unjust Steward sitting and drinking with the drunken and smiting their fellow servants Luk. 12. Then did the Lord begin to a wake his people then did he stirre them up to prayer then did they begin to multiply and flock together then did the Lord put them Ezek. 36.37 Thus saith the Lord I will yet for this be inquired of by the house of Isarel to do it for them I will increase them with men like a flock But mark when the wicked crue faw what was doing and knew not what would become of their projects then did they begin to smite them about the eares imprisoning them and banishing them then did they see what they could do with Scotland then were they thrown out with these white coats then did the people in the City of London begin to grow more sensible when they saw the Scots withstand them and so became stronger and stronger when the King the Bishops and their wicked crue saw their wicked designes begun to shake and cotter then were they in a straight nothing would serve their turne but the destruction of the people of God then did they in their wicked Counsels conjoyne with the King of Spaine to send an Army to cut off the City and take the spoile of it for his reward then did they raise an Army against Scotland cunningly carried the arms and strength from Sussex and those parts their joyning to the sea that the Spaniard might not be exposed thus in their cunning designes did they conjoyn but take notice how they were befooled the King of Spaine sending his Army hither thinking all was his own was befooled wonderfully though he sent such great strength having many friends to entertain them as the Earle of Northampton an arch Papist and Pennington with his ships to assist him Dover Castle that should have been made strong to oppose such an enemy had nothing to resist them thus did our home-bred enemies assist forreign enemies to cut us off then did the Lord appear for us wonderfully and provided a neighbour Nation to sinke the Spaniards in the Sea yet was it an impossible worke for Van Trump to have done had not the Lord appear'd for us for Fennington with his ships fired at the Dutch-men and did them much hurt for which they did accuse him when he went with the Queen into Holland to the Hague how did the Lord work wonderfully in casting our enemies into the Sea who should have cut our throats and many of them that escaped with life came to the City to beg their bread who saw the glory of the City but could not share of the wealth of it now judge you whether the Lord appeared for his people or no but see farther how the King of Spain was served after he lost his great Navy at Sea next year after he lost the Kingdom of Portingale so let all the wicked be served that joyne hand in hand to destroy the inheritance of the Lord. Now when the King with his wicked Counsell could no way prosper but his designes still crost and befooled with going to Scotland where he lost his labour and all the money that he had got in unjust wayes spent in that designe for Scotland then were the wicked crue enraged but the more they stirred the more they ensnared then began their woe then marke how Strafford was served for his wickednesse then was the Bishop taken by the Hornes like the Ram in the
