A53112	The complaint of English subjects delivered in two parts. First part, is the complaint, of the poor, middle, and meanest sorts of subjects, concerning their bodily assistance. Second part, is the true Christians complaint, against vice, and wickedness, for the good of their soul's health. Also, werein is set forth, the late prodigious growth, of atheism, errors, and vice: with a call to repentance. As also, how needful it is, in these times, for every one of us, first of all, to look into our own hearts, and endeavour to amend what is their amiss. And lastly, a brief discourse, concerning our late unfruitful, and cold summers: as also, what is thought to be the real causes of it, by way of opposition, to the opinion of astrologers.

forty_o day_n and_o nineveh_n shall_v be_v overthrow_v then_o they_o present_o believe_v and_o repent_v from_o the_o high_a to_o the_o low_a of_o they_o and_o therefore_o god_n show_v they_o mercy_n

england_n over_o and_o therefore_o i_o say_v both_o from_o reason_n and_o scripture_n rational_o and_o divine_o we_o may_v all_o of_o we_o think_v ourselves_o to_o be_v as_o great_a sinner_n as_o

whether_o our_o sin_n may_v deserve_v that_o mercy_n from_o god_n which_o the_o ninehvite_n then_o receive_v from_o he_o for_o they_o the_o ninehvite_n immediate_o repent_v at_o the_o preach_a of_o the_o prophet_n jonah_n as_o you_o may_v read_v it_o in_o the_o 12_o chap._n of_o matthew_n vers_n 41._o but_o for_o ourselves_o it_o be_v much_o to_o be_v fear_v that_o our_o impenitent_a heart_n be_v now_o much_o like_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o old_a jew_n who_o be_v too_o much_o harden_v to_o repent_v which_o if_o so_o who_o can_v tell_v how_o soon_o we_o may_v feel_v the_o severe_a judgement_n of_o god_n among_o we_o for_o we_o be_v as_o great_a sinner_n as_o any_o of_o they_o be_v look_v in_o the_o 13_o chapter_n of_o saint_n luke_n gospel_n the_o 1_o 2_o 3_o 4_o and_o 5_o verse_n and_o there_o you_o will_v find_v that_o when_o some_o tell_v christ_n what_o great_a sinner_n the_o galilean_n be_v jesus_n answer_v they_o suppose_v you_o that_o these_o galilean_n be_v sinner_n above_o all_o the_o galilean_n i_o tell_v you_o nay_o but_o except_o you_o repent_v you_o shall_v all_o likewise_o perish_v or_o those_o eighteen_o upon_o who_o the_o tower_n in_o siloam_n

perish_v and_o thus_o we_o see_v the_o jew_n have_v warning_n from_o christ_n himself_o and_o yet_o they_o do_v not_o repent_v and_o now_o be_v not_o we_o in_o england_n warn_v to_o repentance_n and_o that_o not_o only_o by_o sign_n and_o token_n from_o heaven_n and_o earth_n but_o by_o the_o holy_a bible_n the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n wherein_o we_o may_v see_v by_o all_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n and_o jesus_n christ_n and_o by_o all_o the_o say_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o apostle_n that_o all_o such_o horrid_a sin_n as_o we_o now_o daily_o commit_v and_o live_v in_o they_o be_v most_o abominable_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o almighty_a god_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v now_o high_a time_n for_o every_o one_o of_o we_o from_o the_o high_a to_o the_o low_a to_o repent_v and_o turn_v we_o every_o one_o of_o we_o from_o our_o evil_a way_n and_o though_o we_o have_v not_o now_o among_o we_o in_o these_o our_o day_n personal_o the_o prophet_n and_o

for_o it_o that_o we_o have_v not_o sufficient_a warning_n give_v we_o to_o repent_v we_o of_o all_o our_o evil_a do_n for_o god_n be_v thank_v for_o it_o still_o to_o this_o very_a day_n there_o be_v not_o want_v in_o our_o church_n of_o england_n many_o good_a devout_a and_o most_o eminent_a preacher_n that_o do_v constant_o show_v themselves_o like_o good_a pastor_n and_o be_v faithful_a

reclaim_v they_o from_o all_o their_o evil_a way_n exhort_v they_o to_o true_a repentance_n and_o amendment_n of_o life_n and_o also_o to_o endeavour_v always_o to_o live_v in_o obedience_n to_o all_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o all_o the_o commandment_n and_o say_n of_o our_o bless_a lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n and_o then_o for_o the_o better_a performance_n of_o it_o they_o be_v not_o want_v to_o offer_v up_o their_o most_o devout_a prayer_n to_o almighty_a god_n for_o his_o blessing_n to_o remain_v upon_o they_o these_o pastor_n and_o only_o such_o good_a pastor_n as_o

do_v lift_v up_o their_o most_o devout_a heart_n and_o hand_n and_o intercede_v unto_o the_o lord_n for_o we_o and_o thus_o by_o their_o prayer_n together_o with_o the_o prayer_n of_o all_o other_o

as_o you_o may_v read_v it_o in_o the_o 2d_o chapter_n of_o the_o one_a book_n of_o samuel_n vers_fw-la 21._o and_o thus_o we_o may_v see_v by_o those_o precedent_n offer_v and_o mention_v in_o these_o several_a scripture_n herein_o quote_v and_o also_o by_o several_a other_o place_n of_o scripture_n the_o like_a precedent_n may_v be_v find_v and_o by_o all_o of_o they_o it_o may_v be_v plain_o see_v how_o much_o prayer_n and_o tear_n have_v always_o from_o time_n to_o time_n prevail_v with_o god_n when_o they_o have_v be_v offer_v up_o unto_o he_o with_o true_a devout_a and_o

offer_v up_o our_o prayer_n with_o tear_n and_o desire_v god_n to_o give_v every_o one_o of_o we_o a_o heart_n fit_a for_o true_a repentance_n and_o amendment_n of_o life_n which_o if_o we_o will_v all_o of_o we_o so_o pray_v and_o endeavour_v so_o to_o do_v than_o no_o question_n may_v be_v make_v of_o it_o but_o that_o god_n will_v yet_o show_v we_o mercy_n and_o then_o we_o shall_v have_v

therefore_o also_o now_o say_v the_o lord_n turn_v you_o even_o unto_o i_o with_o all_o your_o heart_n and_o with_o fast_v and_o with_o weep_v and_o with_o mourning_n and_o rend_v your_o heart_n and_o

who_o know_v if_o he_o will_v return_v and_o repent_v and_o leave_v a_o blessing_n behind_o he_o even_o a_o meat-offering_a and_o a_o drink-offering_a unto_o the_o lord_n your_o god_n but_o again_o i_o say_v that_o god_n do_v sometime_o by_o the_o disorder_n of_o the_o elementary_a part_n of_o this_o world_n bring_v upon_o the_o earth_n dearth_n and_o famine_n itself_o be_v plain_a by_o what_o

it_o be_v there_o thus_o write_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v again_o to_o i_o say_v son_n of_o man_n when_o the_o land_n sin_v against_o i_o by_o trespass_v grievous_o then_o will_v i_o
