A SERMON Preach'd at BARBICAN Upon the Sixteenth of April 1696. BEING A Day of THANKSGIVING unto Almighty God for Discovering and Disappointing an Horrid and Barbarous Conspiracy of Papists and other Traiterous Persons to Assassinate and Murder His most Gracious Majesty's Royal Person and for Delivering this Kingdom from an Invasion intended by the French By Andrew Burnett M A. Minister of the Gospel Psalm 144 9 10. I will sing a new song unto thee O God upon a Psalter and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee It is he that giveth salvation to kings who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword LONDON Printed for Rich. Baldwin near the Oxford Arms in Warwick-lane 1696. A SERMON Preach'd on the Thanksgiving-Day c. Micah VII Vers 15 16 17. According to the days of thy coming out of the Land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous things The Nations shall see and be confounded at all their might they shall lay their hand upon their mouth their ears shall be deaf They shall lick the dust like a Serpent they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth they shall be afraid of the Lord our God and shall fear because of thee THE Providence of God the malicious mischievous and monstrous desperate and damned Plot and Conspiracy Cruelty and Malice of our Enemies The Royal and most Excellent Proclamation of His Majesty King William wherein He speaks of the Mercy and Power of God in discovering and delivering us from a Horrid and Barbarous Conspiracy of Papists and other Traiterous Persons hath assembled us this day to pay our Vows unto the Lord and to speak of his marvellous Acts. In order to which I have chosen this Portion of Scripture in which you have 1. The Lord standing ingaged to his Church and People to give them as great a Deliverance from their Enemies and Troubles as great and wonderful as that from Egypt was According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous things O! The Lord will shew his Church and People as wonderful things in Mercy as he did when he brought them out of the Land of Egypt 2. You have the Amplification it self held forth in a general Expression in the first Words of Psal 16. 1. The Nations says he shall see 2. You have the Effects of this sight which are two 1. They shall be confounded This is heightned from that which was to be a special ingredient in that confusion viz. 1. It should be at all their might 2. From the sensible Signs and Symptoms by which their confusion should appear viz. 1. They shall lay their hands upon their mouth 2. Their ears shall be deaf And in the II. place In the 17th Verse You have another effect of the Nations seeing the marvellous things God was to do in the Deliverance of his Church and People viz. 1. They shall lick the dust like a serpent 2. They shall move out of their holes like worms of the Earth III. They shall be afraid Of whom Why the cause of their fear is 1. God Because of the Lord our God 2. The Church And because of Thee O Zion Before I proceed any further give me leave to open two things 1. What is meant by Nations here 2. What is meant by Seeing The Nations shall see 1. By Nations we are to understand those that are Enemies to God his Church and People the Nations That is a People that are afar off and Strangers to God and his People These are the Nations that are and shall be Counfounded at the Happiness of God's Church and People And no wonder it be so if we consider the Enmity and Envy that is in the World at God's Church and People Ishmael you know could not endure Isaac nor Esau Jacob in one Family and no wonder if it be so betwixt the Church and other Nations Hence They have consulted together with one consent they are confeder are against thee says the Royal Psalmist David Psal 83. 5. In the Original it is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Berith Ychrothu Percusso faedere contra te conspiraverunt vel Leges contra te tuosque Gentes Sanciverunt They have conspired against Thee by a Covenant They have made a League and Laws against Thee and Thy Nations Thy People O! These are the Nations 2. The Nations shall see By this Phrase of seeing we may understand that 1. The World is the very Theatre and Stage as it were The Church is set as a City upon a Hill and therefore all that are about such as Nations cannot but readily see and perceive most of the remarkable Changes of her case wherefore this without question is a special one viz. The Lords shewing unto her marvellous things 2. The Nations shall see They shall be forced to see the Churches Prosperity to their own Confusion and Ruine O! The Marvellous Things which the Lord doth for his Church and People are Things not done in a Corner as Paul hath it to Agrippa Acts 26. 26. The Nations Marvellous Iniquity and Malice Plotting and Contriving is in secret O! But God's Marvellous Works which he doth for his Church and People are openly done in the sight of all 3. The Nations shall see Marvellous Things of their own Nature use to spread far and draw many to see them The Queen of Sheba came far to see and hear the Truth of the Marvellous Reports of Solomon Sure we may say a greater than Solomon is here who deserves it much better that Men should talk of the Glory of his Mighty Acts. 3. The Nations shall see The Nations are often the subject of God's mighty Acts and marvellous Things for his Church and People Yea they are many times made both to see and fear them at once I gave Egypt for thy Ransom Ethiopia and Sheba for thee Isaiah 43. 3. And these are such wonders which the Nations cannot but see being so much concerned in themselves 4. The Nations shall see The Lord has promised that to his Church Isaiah 26. 11. Lord when thy hand is lifted up they will not see but they shall see And be ashamed for their envy at the People Oh it is a sight that in the World they have worst will of Yet they shall see their own might confounded and weakned 5. The Nations shall see The Lords marvellous Things for his Church and People will not shall not want Publishers no no Psalm 145. 6. Men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts and v. 4. One generation shall declare thy works to another and shall declare thy mighty acts In the Hebrew 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Dor Ledor Jeschachar Mehachecha Aetas Aetati laudabit opera tua One Age shall praise thy Works to another Age The Generation of the Old World and Old Testament shall declare thy Works and the Generation of the New Testament shall Praise thy Works viz. Works of

Psal 106. 5. That I may see the good of thy chosen that I may rejoyce in the gladness of thy nation that I may glory with thine inheritance O come therefore this day and see the Works of God He is terrible in his doing toward the Children of men Psal 66. 5. Now in order that you may see the marvellous Things God hath done to his Anointed King William our Parliament and Nobles his Church and People this day that you may praise his Name with a Song and magnifie him with Thanksgiving Let us see the marvellous and malicious Wickedness that those Nations for so I may call them those English Scotch Irish French and Roman Papists would have done to us this day Witness that most wonderful intended Massacre that ever man on Earth or Fiend in Hell devised That Desperate that Devilish that most Damn'd Conspiracy of Nations against the Life of His Sacred Majesty King William whom God hath sent to be the Restorer of our lost Liberty The Raiser of the drooping Genius of Europe The Ornament and Safeguard of the English Nation The Fosterer of our Country The Delight and Love of God's People The Settler of Tranquillity Exiled The Defender of Religions violated The Terrour of our Enemies The Suppressor of Rebels The Supporter of Golden Liberty The Assertor of Virtue The Expeller of Vice The most Faithful Preserver of our Laws and Immunities The Rightful and Lawful King of these Realms Against so warlike a Prince so zealous a Defender and Champion of the Kingdom and Religion A Prince a King a Hero who deserves the Titles and really the Epithets of most Constant most Invincible most Pious most Active most Sincere most Fortunate and the most Couragious of Princes For Happiness an Augustus For Clemeney a Trajan For Piety a Constantine For Devotion a Theodosius Thus would these Enemies have bereft us of him whom God hath bequeathed us They Designed and Plotted like Brutus and Cassius those reserved Enemies of Caesar to Murther him in secret and not like Pompey and Cato those noble Antagonists to bid him Defiance in the Field They designed not like Alcides cruelly to Bite their Mothers Breast but like Nero to rip up her Bowels Not only like Tarquinius Summa papavera amputare lop off the Chiestains of the Nations but like Procrustes cut of the Feet too This Devilish Plot was extended from him that sat upon the Throne to him that laboured at the Plow And if we extend our Consideration to the preparedness of their minds had all that were Faithful in the Land no more than one Neck these Caligula's I allude to had cut it off at one blow Nay in one Sense they did it I may say For the Head of the Parliament is declared by Law to be King and the Parliament we know is a kind of a whole Nation Epitomis'd and so to cut off and Murther King William was to Behead the Parliament and what was that in effect but to cut the very Throats of the English Nation Oh What Ear hears this but it tingles Oh What Tongue tells this but it trembles Oh whose Haire stands not at the hearing of it And whose Heart quakes not at the thoughts of it I remember Hyppolytus saith in Seneca Nullam caruit exemplo nefas Never was so Vile a Villainy but it had Example Ask all Antiquity Search the Rolls and Records of all Countries of all Times Ab orbe condito canuit Exemplo nefas The World cannot Sample it So Malicious so Mischievous so Monstrous a Machination I really believe never once entred into Imagination Oh Mystery of Iniquity Oh Hellish Popish Policy Oh Prodigious Project What Basile says of Herod's Wife 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Her Meat was Slaughter and her Drink was Blood So may I say of the Church of Rome as it was first Bred of Blood so it ever Fed of Blood It Breathed first by Murther and it Breaths Murther still O wherever did that Bloody Butcher the Pope set his Foot but the Ground forthwith grew Thirsty of Blood In Charles the Fifth's time there were 50000 Murthered and Slaughter'd by the Pope And in one Year there was no less than 60000 in France Yea Julius the Second in Seven Years shed the Blood of above 200000 Christians Is not Rome worthy to be called the Sea of Blood The Sea is not the fuller though all the Rivers Run into it Rome is not the lest thirsty tho' she have Drunk the Blood of all these Thousands Yet doth she Thirst after the Blood of Protestants the Blood of God's Anointed King William Oh their Cursed Damnable and Heretical Doctrine is That Subjects may lawfully Depose Kings and Kill them They would fain deny and disown this and they say We slander them But they cannot Bellarmine their Champion and Atlas hath Wrote a whole Book in Vindication of Killing of Kings and maintains Rebellion to be Lawful And an Heretical King i. e A Prorestant King says Sanders is no King therefore Kill him Poyson him Destroy him Quacumque arte marte It is lawful any way says Mariana James Clement Received Immortal Thanks and Praise for his Act of Murthering Henry the Third King of France And I doubt not but that Bloody Butcher Lewis and James Stewart would have done the same to those Jacobites who I believe deriv'd that Name from the Jacobin King-Killer O was ever Villany and Wickedness cherished and honoured before Lewis and James like Leviathans love to sport themselves in the Sea of King's Blood Protestant Blood O they are well-skilled in the Art of Assassinating Kings O monsters and not men O Canniballs and not Hanniballs Eaters of mens flesh and drinkers of mens blood O Heathens and not Christians Yea worse than Heathens for honest Heathens are far better than Christian Knaves O marvel and wonder at the Cruelty of those blood-suckers who intended to have suckt the Choicest blood of this Kingdom It was not done it was but designed They intended Evil against His Majesty King William they Imagined a mischievous Device O but they were not able to perform it That it was Designed shews their marvellous malice and cruelty That it was not done shews the mercy and marvellous Power of God That it was Designed may justly provoke us to loath so bloody a Religion and to have no Correspondence with them For Simeon and Levi Lewis and James are Brethren Instruments of Cruelty are in their habitations O my Soul come not thou into their Secret unto their Assembly be not thou united Cursed be their Anger for it was fierce and their Wrath for it was Cruel Gen. 49. 56. 7. O Cruelty that would have made His Majesty King William the Anvil of their malice to beat upon without either Pittie or Compassion Oh malice like the Fire of Hell Unquenchable O let us not Plot against His Majesty King William but let us Pray for Him We Read that when Solomon was Crowned and setled upon his Throne
