Therefore Hagar hauing an Angel to come to her by the Well to tell her of Ishmael whom shee should bring forth the name of the Well was after Beer-lahai-Roy The Well of him that liueth and seeth me By liuing vnderstanding her selfe that liued after this glorious sight By seeing God who seeth our afflictions Thus Abraham called the place of Isaacs deliuerance Iehouah-ijreh The Lord will see or prouide which some take to be a prophecie of the Temple which should afterward be built at Ierusalem where the Lord would manifest and shew himselfe Others collect hence an argument of our confidence all other meanes fayling to cast our care vpon God as Abraham did who had another sacrifice prouided in stead of his sonne which he thought not vpon Thus Iacob hauing visions of comfort rose in the morning and set vp the stone that he had vsed as a pillow for a pillar calling the place Bethel the house of God a pillar not for adoration but commemoration yet that annointed pillar was a figure of Christ who is so called of his annointing As now he testified his thankfulnesse for the vision of the ladder so afterwards hauing wrastled with an Angel he called a place Peniel The Face of God For saith he I haue seene God face to face and my life is preserued that his posteritie might remember the place and vision he spake with him praesens praesentem he talked with God present as Moses with whom God did speake mouth to mouth and apparantly not in darke speeches Thus he being deliuered from Esau erected an Altar and called it El-Elohe-Israel God the God of Israel erecting as it were a

banner and Dauid here hath his Memoriall When I remember Which is the shame of many in these dayes and reproueth their dulnesse who are like those Cittizens against whom when a great King came and besieged it and built great bulwarks against it a poore wise man by his wisedome deliuered that Cittie yet no man remembred that poore man They are like Ioash the King who remembred not the kindnesse which Iehoiada did to him but slew his sonne Zechariah the Priest like Syria that forgetting the God of saluation had a haruest of desperate sorrowe like Babylon saying I shall be a Lady for euer not laying the word to her hart neither remembring her latter end and therefore in a moment had losse of children and widowhood to come vpon her in her perfection they drinke and forget the lawe and peruert the Iudgement of any of the afflicted Doe not wee forget the things which our eyes haue seene Do they not depart from our hearts Doe we teach them our sonnes The Righteous perisheth and no man layeth it to heart We remember the least wrong of another to vs and forget the greatest of our sinnes against God We write iniuries in Marble but benefits in the sand Wee forget our Founders Patrons Benefactors Wee remember not the hand nor the day when we were deliuered from the enemy from the land of Egypt the house of bondage the doctrine of Rome the Spanish Inuasion wee forget the tossings of the Palatinate Bohemia and those sweet Royall Princes liuing amongst Strangers Euery one may be called Manasseh Forgetting This was the sinne of Israel now of England Wee are like the strange woman that forgat the couenant of her God It is storied that in a great battaile many being slaine and the bodies vnburied there followed a great Plague and this so infected men that they forgat their fathers names their childrens their owne names I am sure our forgetfulnesse of God and our Idolatrie brought the last Plague among vs. There was a Plague in this Iland vpon an Ecclipse of the Sun Anno Dom. 644. when the shauing of the Clergie Latine Seruice Inuocations of Saints were added with other Idolatrous corruptions to the Church whereupon the death of the Emperor Constance followed Haue not we made an Idoll of this Citie which hath stood 2733. yeares and being infected with the number of our people Dauids sinne boasted of the multitude of heads riches buildings that this was the Imperiall Citie of the Kingdome Chamber of the King that with Laodicea wee were rich encreased with goods and had need of nothing that with Tytus our Citie hath beene replenished the haruest of the time her reuenue a ioyous Citie her Merchants Princes her Traffique the Honourable of the earth Haue not Parents gloried in the number of their children and set too much their hearts vpon them Haue wee not ascribed our peace to the strength of our arme and not to him who teacheth as he did Dauid our hands to warre and our fingers to fight For this we had a Plague and as a Pestilence followed Idolatrie so often a warre followeth They chose new Gods there was warre in the gates As warre followeth so famine When the land sinneth I will breake the staffe of bread and will send famine vpon it and cut off man and beast from it Such is that threat If yee will not be reformed I will send the Pestilence among you and yee shall be deliuered into the hand of your enemie A consumption a feauer an extreame burning the sword hunger thirst nakednesse want of all things All these things for forgetting the Lord. Yet How many doe lightly esteeme this great token of Gods wrath The Plague which made Dauid pray Remoue thy stroke away from me I am consumed by the blow of thine hand O Lord thine arrowes sticke fast in mee and thy hand presseth me sore when he had the Plague It made Ezechias complaine that as a Lyon so the Lord did breake his bones that like a Crane or a Swallow so did hee chatter mourne as a Doue that his eye did faile with looking vpward For morbi natura indomita erat a medijs naturalibus and therefore God challengeth the cure of it to himselfe I haue heard thy prayer I haue seene thy teares Behold I will heale thee Hezekiah was sicke to the death and prayed to the Lord Isai prayed the Priests prayed the Courtiers the
