and as the flower of the field the grass withereth the flower fadeth but the Word of thy God O Church of England shall stand for ever Heaven and Earth will sooner fail than one Tittle of Gods Word Where the Word of a King is there is Power but how much more where the Word of the everliving God is when it is set on by his Spirit which is a Spirit of Power of Might and of Majesty It is a meek and a quiet Spririt an humble and a holy Spirit and it is the highest loftiest and most noblest Spirit it is such a Spirit that it will enable them that will be ruled by it for to attain retain maintain and proclaim that which is most noble excellent and advantageous for the great Honour Peace and Prosperity of a King and Kingdom Let all People in all Nations rejoyce in him that made them let the Children of Zion be joyful in their King The Lord shall Reign for ever even thy God O Church of England unto all Generations therefore praise him all ye Nations let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord Praise him for his mighty Acts who can express the Noble Acts of the Lord they are so many and great Not men or Angels His wondrous Works in the Land of Ham and fearful things by the Red Sea The Lord is good to all and his tender mercies are over all his works the Lord is great and greatly to be Admired and Adored he is clothed with Honour and Majesty who covereth himself with Light as with a Garment who stretcheth out the Heavens like a Curtain who layeth the Beams of his Chambers in the Waters who maketh the Clouds his Chariot who walketh upon the Wings of the Wind who maketh his Angels Spirits his Ministers a flaming Fire who laid the Foundations of the Earth that it should not be removed for ever the Lord of Hosts is his Name To be much in meditation of him will be sweet to the Soul and health to the Body I will be glad and rejoyce in the Lord as long as I live I will sing praise to him while I have my being for he hath redeemed my Life from Destruction and hath Crowned me with Loving-kindness and tender Mercies who satisfieth my Mouth with good things so that my Youth has been renewed as the Eagles Well may my Soul therefore bless the Lord and all that is within me bless his holy Name Bless the Lord O my Soul and forget not any of his Benefits who forgiveth all thine Iniquities and healeth all thy Diseases The Glory of the Lord shall endure for ever the Lord will rejoyce in his Works the Lords Throne is in the Heavens and his Kingdom ruleth over all Therefore bless the Lord ye his Angels that excel in Strength bless ye the Lord all ye his Hosts ye Ministers of his that do his pleasure bless the Lord all ye his Works in all places of his Dominion Is it not in vain for the Church of England for to pray O God make speed to save us O Lord make hast to help us and do not mind and regard when and by whom he will do it by whom can do it when he will so he will do it by whom he will and not when and by whom Wise Strong Rich and Learned-men please the meaner and weaker the Instrument is whom Almighty God doth use the greater is the Sin of them that do him slight under-value and refuse Long may the Church of England look for Peace and meet with Trouble look for Health and meet with Disappointment when she is not careful to mind the Day of her Visitation Shall the Stork in the Heaven know her appointed time and the Turtle and the Crane and the Swallow observe the time of their coming And shall not the Servants of the Lord understand his Mind so as to endeavour to prevent his Judgments Are they not counted wise-men that have the Law of the Lord with them But are not such wise-men many times dismayed ashamed and taken when they do reject the Word of the Lord and rely upon the Traditions and Inventions of Mens making and framing which are neither agreeable nor suitable to the Word of God which is the Word of Life and of Power What wisdom is in such men then that wisdom which will deceive them Who is so blind as they that should see most and deaf as they that should hear best Is there no Balm in Gilead is there no Physician there Doubtless there is Is not the Lord the Lord Jehovah in whom is Everlasting Strength in Zion Is not her King in her and for her and with her Why then is not the health of the Daughter of Gods people recovered Is there not any that stirs up himself to take hold of the true and everliving God as they ought and should do therefore hath the Lord who is full of Wisdom Power and Strength hid his Face from us And by reason of our many great and grievous Sins we have all been very much afflicted and consumed But where is the man that lays it so to heart as to stand up in the Gap to make up the Hedge so as to turn away Gods Wrath that for a long time has burned like Fire against England Scotland France and Ireland Who can stand before the Lord who is most great and most good when once he is angry doth not the Mountains quake at him and the Hills melt And is not the Earth burnt at his Presence yea the World and all that dwell therein when he pleaseth Therefore the Wicked and all the Workers of Iniquity the Seed of Evil-doers the Children of Disobedience the Enemies of the Gospel and the Protestant Religion will be ashamed confounded and at last destroyed if that they do not in time humble themselves under the hands of the Great and Mighty God who is Possessor and Commander of Heaven the Earth and the Sea and all things that in them be The Righteous shall rejoyce and be glad but the Sinners in Zion in the Church of England will be afraid Fearfulness hath surprized the Hypocrites already Who among the Sons of Men in the Church of England that can dwell with Devouring Fire Who among them can dwell with Everlasting Burnings He that walketh Righteously and worketh Righteousness that speaketh uprightly he that despiseth the Gain of Oppression that slacketh his hands from holding of Bribes that stoppeth his Ears from hearing of Blood and shutteth his Eyes from seeing of Evil he shall dwell on high his place of Defence shall be the Munitions of Rocks in time of Famine he will be fed Bread shall be given him his Waters shall be sure he shall see the King in his Beauty he will behold the Land that is very far off But what will become of them that serve graven Images and boast themselves of Idols they will be ashamed and confounded in these Days of the Gospel if that they do not

they that profess the Gospel of Peace by their Pride Envy and Hatred are ready to devour one another It doth provoke the God of Heaven to send great and heavy Judgments to Amaze Confound and Consume and Destroy one another Was there ever such a Plague and such a Fire as was in London 1665 and 1666 I hope it will never be forgot nor the Popish late Plot in 1678 against his Majesties Royal Person and to ruin many Thousands in the Nation but blessed and praised be the God of Heaven who doth daily watch over his Majesties Royal Person and the whole Nation Therefore let all that do profess the Gospel learn to live in Love and Peace to be of one Mind and to speak the same thing for this is the best way and the soonest way that the Name of God may be more and more known upon Earth and his saving Health among all Nations that so the People may praise him yea that all People may praise him with new obedience then will the Earth bring forth great Increases and among all Nations there will be a free Trade great Joy and a lasting Peace Let all them therefore that love the Lord be joyful in the Lord let them servet he Lord with gladness and come before his Presence with a Song for the Lord is a great God and a great King above all Gods The Sea is his and he made it and his Hands prepared the dry Land Therefore let all People in all Nations worship and fall down before the Presence of this great Lord Maker and Possessor of Heaven and Earth and kneel before him for he is the Lord our God and we are the People of his Pasture Therefore let us go into his Gates with Thanksgiving and into his Courts with Praise Let all People in all Nations be thankful unto him and speak good of his Name for the Lord is gracious his Mercy is everlasting and his Truth endureth from Generation to Generation Therefore let all the Sons and Daughters of Men praise his great and glorious Name from the rising of the Son to the going down of the same Let every thing that hath Breath praise the Lord for his Greatness and Goodness for his Name is most excellent and his Glory is above the Heavens As this great and mighty God stirr'd me up in time to make known his Mind to prevent much Ruin to Mankind that so among all Nations there may be a general Reformation then let all Dissentors and Sectaries readily and willingly conform and reform to the Government of the Church of England which will encourage many Atheists Papists Jews Turks and Infidels to be in love with the Protestant Religion as it is establisht in the Church of England A Friend loveth at all times and a Brother is born for Adversity and the Wounds of a Friend are better than the Kisses of an Enemy God in Man and God with Man will bring about great and wonderful things not onely for the great Honour and Exaltation of a Kings Person but for the great Joy Peace and Prosperity of many Nations and that without making of many Words or having the Voice much heard Pleasant words they be as a Honey-comb sweet to the Soul and health to the Bones And as Ointment and Perfume doth rejoyce the Heart so doth the Sweetness of a Mans Friend by hearty Counsel in these days of the Gospel and in the Reign of our Royal Sovereign his Majesty of Great Pritain All unbelieving Jews bruirish Athiests wicked and bloody Papists and rebellious Dissentors and Sectaries will be ashamed and confounded that have not improved their time to know and to understand the great Mystery of Godliness God manifest in the Flesh who was justified in the Spirit seen of Angels preached unto the Gentiles believed on in the World by many both Jews and Gentiles and is received up into Glory and there is preparing a place for them that do believe in him and appear for him but he will pour contempt upon all them that will not know and obey him who is the Lord of Life the King of Glory the Prince of Peace the Captain of Mans Salvation the Son of Righteousness that can and will heal all their Diseases and pardon all their Sins that come unto him and well he may because he is the mighty God the everlasting Father the wonderful Counseller the Lord of Hosts who is strong and mighty in Battle that can readily and easily by weak and unlikely means confound and consume the Enemies of his Gospel that do slight and undervalue him be they never so many be they never so great But he will not break a bruised Reed nor quench the smoaking Flax till it bring forth Judgement unto Victory It is not a thing of indifferency but it is of absolute necessity for the Sons and the Daughters of Men the Wisest the Strongest the Richest and the Learned'st and Poorest among them for to believe in the Son of God for whosoever believeth in him whether they be Jew or Gentile hath everlasting Life begun in them but they that will not believe and obey him will not see Life but the Wrath of the ever living God abideth on them Condemnation or Salvation will be the lot and portion of the Sons and Daughters of Men that ever have been or over will be in the World O that none might miscarry because the Lord has laid help upon one that is mighty both able and willing to save unto the uttermost all that come unto him and he will in no wise cast out for God the Father sent not his Son his beloved Son into the World that he should condemn the World but that the World through him might be saved Therefore he that believeth in him is not condemned for he hath the witness in himself but he that believeth not is condemned and there is not any that can be a witness for him or them but all their works and duties will be witnesses against them This made the Apostle St. Paul that great and eminent Saint count all his Righteousness Works and Learning to be loss and dross in comparison of that excellent most profitable and comfortable knowledge that he found in Christ The fruit of the Righteous is a tree of Lise and he that winneth Souls is wise and they that turn many to Righteousness shall shine as the Stars for ever and ever This is a high and honourable work pleasant profitable and delightsome work victorious glorious and crowning work that will crown the God of Heaven with much Glory among the Sons of Men and our Royal Soveraign his Majesty of Great Britain with great Honour and Power over them over all Heathen and Popish Kings Priests Princes and Emperors that so many Nations may be freed from slavery and throughout the whole World there may be great Joy Peace and Prosperity It is sad to consider how that too many do make themselves poor and miserable in the
