Written by a true Lover of the true Protestant Religion and of his Tottering poor Native Country of England Johannes Philanglus LONDON Printed for Thomas Pasham in Fleet-lane 1679. England's Alarm TO THE KING Most Excellent and Dread Soveraign THE meanest Creatures have access and admittance to the Throne of the King of kings by the Bloud of Jesus may I the meanest of your Subjects have admittance to your Temporal Throne by the Dreads and horrible Fears of the secret Effusion of your own and our Bloud by the unprevented Conspiracy of Bloud-thirsty Papists The meanest Star as it hath dependance on and influence from the Sun hath liberty to dart forth its Nocturnal Beams when great Phoebus the Titan of the World submerses his refulgent Rays on the Neptune-waves and now your glorious and Princely Rays are feared dayly to set continually in the Horizon and Neptunian-Sea of Popish and Jesuitical Subtilty and bloudy Cruelty Shall faithful Subjects be afraid of a Frown when Church State and Crown are by Papal Violence Tumbling down Inter majora sydera minora lucerent The poorest Subject in the Primitive Raigns of the glorious Kings of Israel have been permitted to cry in times of extremity Help O King 2 Sam. 14.4 And though your magnificent Majesty be ambiently attended with so many Stars of the first magnitude yet a poor Micaiah may prophecy to the King and have a clearer prospect of the Coelestial Councels upon the heavenly Throne than the Zedekiah's with their iron horns 1. Kings 22.11.24 though he be fed with Bread and Water till these Euroclydons be blown over So most excellent and glorious Prince I beg Pardon as prostrate at your most Soveraign feet for this act of seeming-presumption while I acknowledge my self nothing yet in the hand of God things that are not may instruct things that are Beside the present Necessity the horrid and trembling sounds of the Plot and Plotters Alarming my Ears my obsequious duty to my King and love to my Native Country is the Womb that hath conceived and brought forth this Trembling Babe Which although in its Infancy may to the future admiration of the securest Lethargists in this Nation be credited as a Child of Truth by that time bright Phoebus hath twice mounted the twelve Herculean Pillars I remember it was asserted by that Reverend Bishop James Vsher Bishop of Armagh sometimes in Ireland That those Predictions that fell from him most of which are fulfilled already were imprinted and engraven on his Spirit even so are these things that now I write to my Soveraign Lord the King and Country And moreover if it be true or like to be true that is reported to us by the Speech of the Dead in Nocturnal Visions as is famously reported by antient Philosophers as Artemidorus and the famous Remembrances of Julius Caesar his Warning before his Death and fatal Stab in the Roman Senate cum multis aliis then have I reason to fear the Impression of these things on my Spirit and these scaring Visions of the Night which for some years past I have sustained concerning the Person and Crown of your Sacred Majesty and also of him and them who have raised the Thunder and Tempest in this our Horizon As also the just fears we may have of the sudden Fall of your Life and Crown by the hand or hands of Papists And that except your Majesty be miraculously defended by supream Providence and the timely Remissions by his mighty hand and also your Royal Adherence and just and methodical Conjunction to your great Council the Parliament and so joyntly removing the Nations Grievances and those things offending the King of Kings and timely and speedily executing Justice upon the notorous Offenders of your Majesties Crown and State and of the Church of Christ it cannot be but that before either your Majesty or we are well aware they you now by your boundless Clemency indulge beyond Necessity will give the fatal stroak to your sacred Life and in yours to all your Subjects who have the Breast-plate of Christs Righteousness upon them and the marks of the Whore of Babylon cashiered from you to the Conformists and Nonconformists and that I trembling fear in the 1680th year O! would your Majesty please speedily to extirpate out of your Royal Territories and this City of London all those Amalekites that trouble Israel I mean the French that devour and eat the bread out of your Subjects mouths and may you ever remember that King Saul for neglecting the Word of the Lord and not totally destroying Amalek had his life dishonourably taken from him by a Chip of that block 1 Sam. 15. compared with 2 Sam. 1.13 Antiquity tells us our English nation was never more blessed with Peace and Prosperity than when the French Nation were conquered by us as by Henry the fifth of famous memory and Henry the sixth who was crowned in Paris and planted the Flower-de-luce in Englands garden But now it is to be feared that the French King will be crowned not in the French but our English Paris London except the providence of the King of kings divert present occurrences and the prudence of your most Excellent Majesty in happy Conjunction with your prudent Parliament prevent it which that you may the God of Heaven grant 'T is a Curse in Gods Word to be governed or counselled by the Spirit of Jezabel or by a wicked woman Isai 3.12.15 16. Hence hath arose monstrous Pride and intolerable Oppression the very bane of Church and State Who knows but by the hands of such your Majesty may sustain a Stab or fatal Stroak And nothing would more draw the hearts of your Subjects up to the height of true joy than if it may please your Majesty to abandon such morning-clouds from the Mountain of your Throne O how glorious would the day shine It is expressly said by God the King of kings Deut. 17.17 The King shall not multiply wives to himself that his heart turn not away And though Solomons Throne was established by God himself yet it was strange women made his Crown to totter and his Kingdom to rend asunder 'T is the greatest interest to Kings and Princes to treat the Lords people kindly who are still by the Papists and Popish affected called in scorn and derision Hereticks for he reproved Kings for their sakes Psal 105.14 15. 'T was the Prodromus to the destruction of Ireland formerly as
says Dr. Vsher to adhere to the Principles and Patterns of Papists nothing being true they hold as said the Martyr but the Doctrine of the Trinity for Free will and general Redemption now embraced by too many is the Foundation of the Popish Kingdom first brought into Rome in the fifth Century by Pelagius 'T was the hastening the destruction of Ahaz King of Israel 2 Kings 16. in that he joyned himself to the King of Assyria vers 7. Nothing can more suddenly ruine King and Kingdom than joyning Affinity with Popish Princes because God hath determined to cast that Mountain as a Mill-stone into the depths of the Sea Rev. 18. Jer. 50 51. and they that will not come out of her when her hour comes shall perish with her without all peradventure Besides this Ahaz goes to Damascus vers 10. and takes a fashion of the Altar and the Worship and sends to Vrijah the Priest for to take a pattern thereof which Isai 8. caused the Lord to hasten his Judgments under the figure of Maher-shalal-hash-baz make haste to spoil and to the prey make speed So verily will God make haste to ruine that Kingdom that shall patternize their Worship from the grand Idolatry of so impudent an Harlot Rev. 17. as the Church of Rome is Alas our Sun is darkened with Popish Principles our Moon turned into Bloud our Stars fallen and falling from Heaven the true Protestant Profession and Principles both Universities and Pulpits filled with the Roman Trash that the Martyrs and Fathers of our Protestant Religion truely abhorred and Gods word is silent in while those few Stars that remain in their Primitive Lustre are scoffingly called Calvinists and Solifidians as if Christ and his Apostles were not the Patrons of the same Doctrine May your Majesty be directed by the good Angels of God to do what may preserve your Life prevent our Fears establish your Throne comfort the Protestant Churches of Christ and glad the hearts of all your Subjects Your Majesty knows that the designe of Monarchy is to preserve your Country in it self not to betray it For though those things that God will not set up be attempted in the breast of Majesty it self yet it may not prosper but will tumble down as Babel In medio Consistit Virtus The way to make your Kingdom everlasting and your Crown immovable is to consult Gods Word and Will and execute his Commands cherish his Church his Doctrine and Truths banish and subdue his Enemies and make it the policy of the State to aim at Gods Glory the Nations Prosperity and the Churches Comfort by permitting the various Interests and Priviledges of King and People to glide sweetly in their proper Channels as Law Reason and Equity hath provided from the Constitutions of Antiquity Vivat Rex Vertitas To the PARLIAMENT the great Council of England Noble Senators WHen you that are our great Representatives and the Pillars Nerves and Sinews of our Body-politick have not a Being it may be said that the People and Nation of England during that Casma and Gulf of Dissolution have also no Being And how monstrous would it be in the eye of Reason and incommodious to our Interests and grand Concerns at this juncture of Affairs especially to have a glorious Head without a Body to substitute it But though yet you are not born into our Angelical Commonwealth yet I hope you are conceived in the womb of the hearts of the best People whose great Interest it will be to hasten the Birth with all possibility and by a careful Midwifry to deliver safely that hopeful Child may cherish its aged Mother and defend her from that Murderous Train of Popish Plotters and Devils in grain That you may have the Heart of Piety it self and the Tongues of Angels to promote Justice and Verity bovem in lingua nondum ut habeatis That Bribes may be as remote from you as the East from the West as Popish Cruelty is distant from England's Felicity And as it was once said of the Belgick People of their prudent management of great Affairs so may it be practised by you Dum nesciunt fingere possunt quid autem agant statim Statuunt Noble Sirs as it was said in another Case may be now said to you in this present Case Quid facitis faxite Citiùs if you be not nimble the mangled walls of our old Carthage will be tumbled down and the Babylonish Whore rush in at both ends of the Town And if bad Councel or thwarting Providence or Romish Policy should either prorogue your time or dissolve your being once more 't is past peradventure feared we nor you shall live any longer and your Ruines will make way for our Miseries O consult God begin at the Oracle not of Delphos but Christ Resolve with Hannibal when he was going over the Alps into Italy Aut inveniam aut viam faciam Truely Sirs you must hew your ways through the Rocks and meet your Enemies under ground or they will quickly both you and us Confound And as Luther said to Malancthon If we shall not boldly and resolvedly do the Lords Work he will remove us and raise up others so say I to you If through fear cowardise or sloath you should outsleep three quarters of a year more our Petitions will end and your Work be finished Yet will God raise up others yet invisible to deliver his redeemed and work wonders for us in our field of Zoan for the Earthquake Rev. 11.11 12 13. is at hand 1680 will go near to manifest it and the time of the three days and half the time of the Churches Sackcloath and mourning state is near expiration and God will call you up in a Cloud of protection Isai 26. ult while he shakes the Earth and Earthly Professions and Professors and makes the Earth to disclose her Bloud and bring to nought things that are by things that are not 1 Cor. 1. and the Romish Philanax shall be cast in the Sea like a Mill-stone never more to rise and her Brats and Followers and the Bloud of Christ but their own dung and dross shall perish with her because when they were called out they refused the Wine Milk and Waters of Life the marrow and fatness of the Gospel for Trash Popish Ceremonies and Jesuitical Doctrines And this let Sion expect 1681 or 1682 to 1685. Deliverance will come another way To the CITY of LONDON O London London MY Soul mourns for thee like Tyre and Sidon Ezek 28. thou hast been like the Garden of god every precious stone was thy Covering thy Tabrets and Pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created Thou that wast the anointed Chorubin thou wast upon the holy Mountain of God Thou hast wallted up and down in the midst of the stones of fire thou hast had the voice of the Turtle in thee when the dark places of thy Land was desolate but Iniquity is found in thee In thee is
