Religion will observably Decay among those Christians the Seed sown in the Publick will not so much prosper for want of being watered in private And when the Pastor shall fall sick there will not be so much as one company of Christians in all his Flock that can come together to pray for his Life VI. Where Churches professing a Great Reformation shall in their Constitution cease to Represent unto the World the Holiness of the Lord Jesus Christ and of His Heavenly Kingdom they will become Loathsome to that Holy Lord their Glory is gone and their Defence goes with it the dreadful Wrath of Heaven will Astonish the World with the Things which it will do unto them VII Where Churches are Loth to give unto Councils regularly upon Complaints Enquiring into their Administrations an Account thereof 't is much to be suspected that they are Chargeable with Male-Administrations and if the Advice of Regular Councils come once to be trod under foot by any Particular Churches all serious men will be afraid of joining to such Unaccountable Societies VIII Where a mighty Body of people in a Country are violently set upon running down the ancient Church State in that Country and are violent for the Hedge about the Communion at the Lords-Table to be broken down and for those who are not Admitted unto the Communion to stand on equal Terms in all Votes with them that are the Churches there are not far from a tremendous Convulsion and they had need use a marvellous Temper of Resolution with Circumspection to keep it off IX Where Churches are bent upon Backsliding and carried away with a strong Spirit of Apostasy whatever Minister shall set himself to withstand their Evil Bents will pull upon himself an inexpressible contempt and hatred Be his merits never so Great a Thousand Arts will be used for to make him Little He had need be a man of Great Faith and Great Prayer But God will at length Honour such a man with wonderful Recompences X. Where a Fountain shall become Corrupt there the Streams will no longer Make Glad the City of God XI The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ we have with much expence lately sent unto several of our Southern Plantations If it be Rejected there are Terrible Things to come upon them 't were better to have Lived in Sodom than in one of those Plantations XII God prepare our dear Brethren in Connectecut for certain Changes that are Impending over them Finally There was a Town called Amyciae which was Ruined by Silence The Rulers because there had been some false Alarms forbad all people under pain of Death to speak of any Enemies approaching them So when the Enemies came indeed no man durst speak of it and the Town was Lost Corruptions will grow upon the Land and they will gain by Silence 'T will be so Invidious to do it No man will dare to speak of the Corruptions and the Fate of Amycâ—e will come upon the Land Reader I call'd these things Prophecy But I wish I be not all this while Writing History Now if any Discerning persons apprehend any Dangers to Impend over New-England from any of the Symptomes mentioned it is to be hoped they will Employ their best Thoughts how to Anticipate those Dangers And whereas 't is the sense of all men who discern any thing that it is in vain to hope for any Good until a Spirit of Grace be poured out from Heaven to dispose men unto it I beg them to consider whether the only way to obtain that Spirit of Grace be not Humbly to Ask it by Prayer with Fasting before the God of Heaven It was therefore an Article in an Advice agreed by some of the principal Ministers in this Province and with the mention of that Advice which doubtless all but the Sleeping will follow I 'l conclude Solemn Days of Prayer with Fasting celebrated in our Churches to Implore the Grace of God for the Rising Generation would probably be of blessed consequence for the Turning of our Young people unto the God of our Fathers The more there is this way ascribed unto Grace the more the Grace of God is like to be communicated and there is in this way a natural and a plentiful Tendency to Awaken our Unconverted Youth unto a sense of their Everlasting Interests Which were it generally accomplished a Remarkable Reformation where therein Effected Observable Things THE HISTORY OF Ten Years Rolled away under the great Calamities of A WAR WITH Indian-Salvages Repeated and Improved in a SERMON at Boston-Lecture 27 d. 7 m. 1698. Judg. VI. 3 5 6. The Children of the EAST came up against them and they Entred into the Land to Destroy it and Israel was greatly Impoverished Boston Printed for Samuel Phillips at the Brick Shop 1699. PREFACE WHen the Israelites were Engaged in a WAR they made choice of a Priest among them to Serve some of their greatest Occasions in it and after a Sacred Unction bestow'd upon him we are told by Maimonides he was call'd Mashuach Milchamah that is to say Unctus Belli which was as much as to say The Priest of the War To bring unto a People profitable Advices Reflections upon a WAR wherein they are Engaged and sound the Silver Trumpet of the Gospel with agreeable Notes unto them in it is to do in some sort the Office of the Mashuach Milchamah and this Office the Ensuing Discourse presumes to do with Endeavours that the Voice of Heaven by the Trumpet of our late War may he heard giving a certain Sound in these Echo's of it The History of a long War hath with all possible care of Truth been given you The Author Earnestly prayes that if the least material Mistake have happened in the History He may be Advised It may be corrected The Noise that may be made by a few Sordid People here there in a Room Tophetized with Smoke and Rhum and Spittle and Malice and Lyes crying out concerning the most Conscientious Essayes to preserve Memorable Truths They are a parcel of Lies He values not But he now tenders to the Acceptance of the more Civilized Readers an Improvement of Memorable Truths which it was His Duty to make it will be Theirs to mind THE REMARKEABLES of a long WAR Collected and Improved Boston-Lecture 27 d. 7 m. 1698. IF a Book of some Consequence be laid open before one that cannot Read he may Look and Gaze upon it but unto what purpose as long as he cannot understand it This very Comparison is by the Great Austin well applyed unto The Judgments of God And I will therefore so far Improve the Comparison as to observe That the Judgments of God under which we have been Languishing for Ten years together are a sort of a Book put into our Hands a Book indeed all written in Blood a Book yet full of Divine Lessons for us But can every man Read this Terrible Books No Methinks I see the Book managed like

up into the Heavens he begg'd me that I would not improve his confession as if made on the behalf of all his Friends And another of them as I hear publickly Held Forth by one of his late Stercorations That the Husks of the Swine on which the Prodigal fed in the Parable were The Bread and Wine in that which People call The Sacrament But what will become of those Forlorn Villages that shall Resign themselves to the conduct of that Light within which our Sacred Scriptures indeed never expresly mention but once or twice and then call it Real Darkness and which may lead men to all this wickedness There was among the Mahometans in the Eastern parts of the World a Sect called Batenists from the Arabic Baten which signifies within who were Enthusiasts that followed The Light within like our Quakers and on this principle they did such Numberless Villanies that the World was not able to bear them None of all their Diabolical Raveries which I know I am now pulling on my self and which I value no more than if they came from the Pouliats of Malabar shall frighten me from solliciting your Christian Cares Prayers That you be not over-run with English Batenists And I must sollicitously make the Observation That although such a Number of Quakers in our Nation be a dreadful Judgment of God upon men smiting them with Spiritual Plagues for their Unfruitfulness and Unthankfulness under the Gospel nevertheless of a special Favour of God that the Number of Quakers is no Greater for if they should multiply not only would Christianity be utterly Extinguished â—ut Humanity it self Exterminated It is well known That when a Quaker had Stollen an Hour-glass their Mahomet George Fox of whom Sol. Eccles in a Sheet call'd The Quakers Challenge pag. 6. saies He was the Christ thus vindicated it Great Myst pag. 77. As for any being moved of the Lord to take away your Hour-glass from you by the Eternal Power it is owned Reader Dost not thou even Tremble to think what a Dark Land we should have if it should ever be fill'd with these pretended followers of the Light who wear the Name of Tremblers In Truth I know not unto what better one might compare them than unto the Macheveliers growing upon St. Lucia Trees which bear Apples of such an Odour and Colour as invites people to Eat thereof but it is horribly Dangerous to do so for there is no Antidote that can secure a man from speedy Death who hath once tasted of them The Leaf of the Trees makes an Ulcer on any place touched with it the Dew that falls from them fetches off the Skin the very Shadow swells a man so as to kill him if he be not speedily helped ARTICLE XXX Things to Come FRom Relating of Things past it would no doubt be very Acceptable to the Reader if we could pass to Foretelling of Things to come Our Curiosity in this point may easily come to a Degree Culpable and Criminal We must be Humbly content with what the God in whose Hands are our Times hath Reveal'd unto us Two Things we will venture to Insert First For our selves at home Let us Remember an awful Saying of our Goodwin quoted by my Reverend Friend Mr. Noyes in his late Excellent Sermon at our Anniversary Election As you Look for Storms in Autumn and Frosts in Winter so Expect Judgments where the Gospel hath been Preached for the Quarrel of the Covenant must be Avenged Secondly For the Church abroad I am far from deserting what was Asserted in the Sermon Preached at our Anniversary Election in the year 1696. The Tidings which I bring unto you are That there is a Revolution and a Reformation at the very Door which will be vastly more wonderful than any of the Deliverances yet seen by the Church of God from the Beginning of the World I do not say That the Next year will bring on this Happy Period but this I do say The Bigger part of this Assembly may in the course of Nature Live to see it These Things will come on with horrible Commotions and Concussions and Confusions The mighty Angels of the Lord Jesus Christ will make their Descent and set the World a Trembling at the Approaches of their Almighty Lord They will Shake Nations and Shake Churches and Shake mighty Kingdoms and Shake once more not Earth only but Heaven also Unto these Two Things my Reader will not misimprove it I hope if I add a Third lately fallen into my Hands and never yet so Exposed unto the Publick A Wonderful Matter Incontestably Demonstrated and much Desired by some Good men to be in this place Communicated MR. John Sadler a very Learned and a very Pious man and a most Exemplary Christian Lay Sick in his Bed at his Mannor of Warmwell in Dorset-Shire In the year 1663. In the Time of his Illness he was visited by Mr. Cuthbert bound the Minister of Warmwell Mr. Sadler then desired his man one Thomas Gray to see that there should be no body else in the Room and Lock the Door and give him the Key He then Sat up in his Bed and asked Mr. Bound and the Attendent Gray Whether theâ— Saw no body and whether they did noâ— hear what a person said that stood at the corner of the Chamber They Replied No. Hâ— wondred at it and said The man spake so loud that the whole Parish might hear him Hereupon calling for a Pen and Ink hâ— wrote what was told him and made Them leâ— their Hands to it For he told them the maâ— would not be gone till he had seen that done The Articles written down were I.
