<P>_SO wonderful are the &s;earching and unmask|ing Providences of the Lord, which of late appeared among&s;t us, together with the mani|fold and woful mi&s;carriages of tho&s;e who once &s;eemed to be well qualified, and were by what was di&s;cernible judged to be meet in|&s;truments for the carrying on the Lords work in the&s;e Nati|ons; That unto all who would be kept pure, blamele&s;&s;e, and &s;teddy in their mo&s;t holy faith, till this oppearing, who&s;e coming is as a refiners fire, <HI>&amp;c.</HI> Renewed and fre&s;h occa|&s;ions are given at this day, to be diligently ob&s;erving the operations of God in the Earth, and &s;eriou&s;ly and imparti|ally to be reflecting upon their own hearts and &s;pirits to try and prove whether the principles they are at pre&s;ent in, they practi&s;e or retain a &s;ufficient Character or &s;ymptome of that anointing which abides and qualifies the &s;oul to make good proof of its integrity &amp; faithfulne&s;&s;e to the Lord, when brought to the Te&s;t in the face of greater temptations then herberto hath been met with, or probably is expected by many.</P>
<P>And it being none of the lea&s;t concernments of the&s;e for whom the Lord hath (not with&s;tanding their unworthine&s;s) once more &s;tretched forth his mighty Arme to be found ex|erci&s;ing them&s;elves therein; unto them therefore of what rank, quality, or &s;ort &s;oever they be (as well Governours as Governed) by way of more &s;pecial a dverti&s;ement, its
<PB N="4" REF="4">judged what followes may not be un&s;ea&s;onably pre&s;ented.</P>
<P><HI>Sirs,</HI> Though doubtle&s;&s;e the de&s;ign of the Creator at fir&s;t in making man of nothing and rai&s;ing him unto that E&s;tate wherein he was before the fall, had in it a tendency of fur|ther light and glory to have been communicated &amp; brought forth unto <HI>Adam,</HI> yet we have (though wofully) experience that the none improvement of that ability light and life, to the end for which it was given, occa&s;ioned no le&s;&s;e then the lo&s;&s;e of all the Excellency and Dominion propounded to that E&s;tate, changed the liberty of the whole Creation into bondage from which it &s;till groanes to be delivered, and were it not that the Lord in exceeding wi&s;dome &amp; grace &s;et the regoining to him&s;elf the works of his hands by a new and living way, the pre&s;ent hope and earne&s;t expecta|tion of the Creature had been eternally void; but ever ble&s;&s;ed be his name, that as &s;in abounded his grace abound|ed much more.</P>
<P>And &s;hould we thus gradually de&s;cend to take notice of the manifold examples of like nature extant in Scriptures or otherwi&s;e from the days of <HI>Abell</HI> until now, how might the burthen of their calamities, which befel &s;uch as an&s;wered not the de&s;ign of God in their day according to the oppor|tunities given them &s;o to do, &s;erve to awaken all in whom there remaines any kind of de&s;ire to be meeting the Lord in his comings forth to reduce the Nations to him&s;elf, to a &s;erious watchfulne&s;&s;e, le&s;t at any time through the temp|tations of the fle&s;h they &s;hould be found oppo&s;ers of him who will not fail one day to reckon with all the Sons of Anti|chri&s;t, for all their evil deeds, hard &s;peeches, and &s;ecret con|&s;ultations again&s;t the Lord and his Anointed.</P>
<P>The too too manife&s;t appearance of &s;uch things in our day calls for more then an ordinary lamentation at the hands of Engli&s;h men, that after &s;o many eminent and &s;ig|nal demon&s;trations of the Lords intentions to work a mighty work &s;uch as hath not been u&s;ually heard of among&s;t us, there &s;hould yet be found &s;o much re&s;olute implacable enmity in the heart of this Nation, which &s;touts it &s;elf out
<PB N="5" REF="4">to the perfecting its rebellion (and con&s;equently their de&s;truction who are acted by it) again&s;t the Council and &s;olemn determination of the mo&s;t high to &s;et his mountain a top of all the mountains, <HI>&amp;c.</HI></P>
<P>But it is ob&s;ervable that the peremptory inraged at|tempts and breakings forth of tho&s;e Children of di&s;obe|dience, in whom the old Enemy or Prince of the Air thus worketh, to do all the di&s;pight they can to the &s;imple and pure intere&s;t of God, ever precedes its own downfal and ruine; as being thereby fitted, ripned, and prepa|red for de&s;truction and &s;hame; and yet unto this degree of ungodline&s;s and impiety it &s;eldome worketh until by &s;ome &s;eeming pretence of zeal for truth, it hath very much intere&s;&s;ed and twi&s;ted it &s;elf into the Hearts and Loines of &s;uch as are intru&s;ted with Dominion and power to rule and govern for God in the Earth.</P>
<P>So that its humbly conceived of all men, per&s;ons placed in Authority are mo&s;t lyable (though but for a mi&s;erable reward) to become the &s;ervants of &s;in, <HI>(viz)</HI> the great &s;in of &s;etting up the great abomination that maketh de&s;o|late; and therefore it can hardly be expre&s;&s;ed how deep|ly it concerns all &s;uch, e&s;pecially tho&s;e in this Nation where the Lord hath &s;o often and &s;o highly &s;ignified his di&s;plea&s;ure again&s;t the di&s;obedient, &s;tubborn, and perver&s;e contrivances of their predece&s;&s;ors, to be exceeding careful, lea&s;t through an evil heart of unbelief they are led away to the &s;ame (if not a greater) exce&s;&s;e of Riot, with tho&s;e who for want of ability to follow the Lamb where&s;oever hewent have peri&s;hed in the mid-way.</P>
<P>Now for that the Lord hath once more put opportuni|ty into the hands of &s;uch as have the over-&s;ight of rule and Governance in <HI>England</HI> to be pre&s;&s;ing forward, by all that they are or may be, to an&s;wer the de&s;ign of God in their day, by exalting ju&s;tice, judgement, and equity, and to cau&s;e Righteou&s;ne&s;&s;e and truth, (in truth) to run down like a mighty &s;tream among&s;t us; and in all their under|takings for liberty, to have faithful re&s;pect to the pure liberty of the Sons of God.</P>
<P><PB N="6" REF="5">
The remnant of the Woman-&s;eed the faithful &s;ervants of the mo&s;t high, are therefore not onely engaged in an expectation of it, and earne&s;tly, and affectedly to be im|ploring from them a daily manife&s;tation of &s;uch fruits as are conduceble to the advancing this intere&s;t <HI>(viz.)</HI> the liberty of the Sons of God, above and beyond all other private intere&s;ts that would be upper mo&s;t and have the preheminence in the world; but al&s;o if for the&s;e things (under what pretence &s;oever or that the time of building the Lords hou&s;e is not yet come) &s;hall &s;eem to be lea&s;t of all concerned, or &s;o &s;trive to order the matter if any thing (mu&s;t be &s;quezed, from them towards the building the Lords hou&s;e) &s;o do it as it may conduce to the advancing their own hou&s;es al&s;o &amp; not otherwi&s;e; then it becometh all that are in expectation of their Lot in their inheritance of the Sons of God, to be found in the di&s;charge of their duty towards their rulers by dealing plainly and candidly with them, laying before them not onely, the &s;ad and woful effects that hath in times pa&s;t been produced by a carele&s;&s;e and corrupted appearance in the work of the Lord, but al&s;o as opportunity and ability is given to be &s;preading forth the evil and dangerous con&s;equents that are like to attend their putting far from them the day of God, and the retardings of his work, e&s;pecially when no le&s;&s;e then a continued &s;eries of providences from time to time <GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="UOM" EXTENT="1 letter">ear after year, holds forth &s;o high a te&s;timony for the Lord, and a di&s;covery of his de&s;ign as in this Nation it hath done.</P>
<P>As therefore, good rea&s;on it is, we &s;hould as well in re&s;pect of the glory of God, the honour and &s;afety of our &s;uperiours, as for our own peace and advantage in our more &s;pecial, and &s;piritual concernments, to be found in a timely and faithful di&s;charge of what is &s;o much in|cumbent upon us.</P>
<P>Let it not then be ill taken by any who are re&s;tored to their former &s;tations and places of tru&s;t in power (and thereby to greater opportunities of following the Lord
<PB N="7" REF="5">more fully) that in &s;uch a manner for that end they are &s;o often &s;olemnly and faithfully addre&s;&s;ed unto by the poor de&s;pi&s;ed and brui&s;ed people of the Lord in this Nation, begging, intreating, and per&s;wading, by all the arguments of love and terror, that either the Scriptures of truth, the di&s;pen&s;ations pa&s;t, or &s;uch as we are at pre&s;ent under can furni&s;h them with, that a hardned heart of ingra|titude and impiety might not be found among&s;t them, with which in&s;tead of bearing rule for God, men too oft appear in the exerci&s;e of their own wills, and that they may gain unto them&s;elves or Families, a portion in the beggerly peri&s;hing vain Glory of this world that ere long mu&s;t pa&s;&s;e away like a &s;croul, too far proceed in a denial of the Lord that bought them, but rather a meekned, &s;oftned frame of &s;pirit apt and ready to take what further impre&s;&s;ion the Lord hath to imprint upon it, le&s;t the con|trary bring upon us an over-flowing &s;courge, and inunda|tion of &s;uch calamity as hath not been experienced or late|ly heard of: for our mercies hath exceeded, and the &s;pirit of God will not alwaies &s;trive with man, and who knows how &s;oon &s;uch as will not that Chri&s;t &s;hould Raign over them, may for their unworthy refu&s;al of that honour be either expo&s;ed to &s;hame, bondage, and contempt, or el&s;e called for to be brought forth and &s;lain before his face.</P>
<P>Were the thoughts of the&s;e things, and for what end the Lord &s;uffered the Parliament to be interrupted at fir&s;t and now recalled to their former authority, together with the many &s;pecial circum&s;tancies that hath attended tho&s;e tran&s;actions, more &s;eriou&s;ly and generally with them, then as it may be feared it is, &s;urely the effects thereof would be otherwi&s;e then yet we have (or by the good wills of many) are like to experience. But the ju&s;t Lord who yet exerci&s;eth his patience and long-&s;uffering towards the &s;ons of Men, if hapily they will feel after him and repent, <HI>&amp;c.</HI> will not be mocked at la&s;t. Be wi&s;e therefore O yee Kings and be in&s;tructed O yee Judges of the earth, &s;tand
<PB N="8" REF="6">in awe &s;in not, &s;erve the Lord with fear le&s;t he &s;peak to you in his wrath and vex you in his &s;ore di&s;plea&s;ure.</P>
<P>Should the time of the fore&s;aid interruption, or that which too ju&s;tly occa&s;ioned the &s;haking of the rod in that manner, be but a little reminded or enquired after, would it not appear too manife&s;tly, that with many of them, who &s;uffed that contradiction, it was a &s;ea&s;on of &s;ecurity and &s;lothfulne&s;&s;e to any thing the voice of that day called for on the behalf of the Lords work &s;o eminently begun and &s;et a foot among&s;t us, for who&s;e &s;ake many worthy and renowned victories were given, and much honour done to many that adheared thereunto; yet I &s;ay, do but a little reflect upon the pa&s;&s;ages of that time, and what &s;elfi&s;hne&s;s, covetou&s;ne&s;&s;e, pride, and wantonne&s;&s;e, will appear to be the charge and guilt of that day; and what advantage and opportunity was thereby given unto others to become what they ought not to be, greatning and magnifying them|&s;elves above their fellows, and under the pretence of re|moving the afore&s;aid evils, Acted too much the evil &s;er|vants part that &s;aid in his heart, my Lord delays his coming, and to do &s;uch things as brought a very &s;ore and grie|vous reproach upon the very name of Religion profe&s;t by Engli&s;h men.</P>
<P>But this as a deceitful u&s;urpation for that it was not im|proved to the end for which it was pretendedly acted, e&s;caped not the la&s;h of the Lords ju&s;t and righteous hand; and &s;o as that it may even &s;erve to convince us if we be not altogether &s;tupid.</P>
<P>That now the Lopping of a few &s;uperfluous over reach|ing Branches is not all &s;uch attempts expo&s;eth the tran&s;|gre&s;&s;our in that kind unto, but the Axe is laid to the root of the Tree, and that the ambitious endeavours of man to leave him&s;elf a name in the Earth, is the onely way to be written Childle&s;&s;e in the honour and tru&s;t of Govern|ment.</P>
<P>What of this kind of bla&s;ting or di&s;appointment hath apparently pa&s;&s;ed upon the like projections of &s;uch as
<PB N="9" REF="6">once were &s;erviceable to their Countrey in the day of Battel, wants not its evidence to prove it, and that the eyes of the Lord are towards the foot&s;teps of men, &s;trictly weighing and ob&s;er|ving all their motions whether they are &s;uch as duly an|&s;wer the end of providence or keep any pace with his de&s;ign or not, and accordingly will bring to light the &s;ecret intenti|ons of their hearts and wherein they are a contriving to doe injury to the cau&s;e and intere&s;t of Chri&s;t, that evil he will cer|tainly cau&s;e to de&s;cend upon their own pates: it begins to be more commonly received for truth, that he who digs a pit for another &s;hall fall into it him&s;elf.</P>
<P>And it may be as rightly conjectured that the hurt of many (who&s;e per&s;ons and reputations are too ju&s;tly under a cloud at this day) took being with the change of their names and titles, for Colonels to Lords, from le&s;s to more, from O C. to O P, &amp;c. Let it therefore be the wi&s;dome of the people and their heads this day, by other mens harms to beware of doing or contriving any thing that may revive or give length of daies, to the tottering intere&s;t of the bea&s;t and fal&s;e Prophet: for to run greedily after the errour of <HI>Balaam</HI> for reward, hazards a peri&s;hing in the gain&s;ayings of <HI>Core.</HI> Twas the &s;afe|ty of <HI>Laban</HI> and <HI>E&s;au</HI> that <HI>Jacob</HI> became a Prince, prevailing with God and with men, it would have been <HI>Pharaoh</HI>'s advan|tage, had he been &s;o conquered, twas his de&s;truction to follow <HI>I&s;rael</HI> to the Read Sea, it will be the &s;till peace and pro&s;|perity of Rulers to give the Lords people liberty, to follow him where&s;oever he goes.</P>
<P>A &s;hew or flouri&s;h of this &s;eemed not long &s;ince to pre&s;ent it &s;elf among&s;t us as if our Magi&s;trates intended to be fir&s;t in bringing the greatne&s;&s;e of their trea&s;ures to Chri&s;t, and were now re&s;olved upon all terms to joyn i&s;&s;ue with him and be|come nur&s;ing Fathers to his people, <HI>&amp;c.</HI></P>
<P>It's well it proves more &s;ub&s;tantial and that the occa&s;ion the Lord hath once more taken (by the rebellion of others) to roul away that reproach from the remnant of his poor people in <HI>England,</HI> be ob&s;erved according to the manife&s;t deci&s;ion it hath made between the true friends of <HI>I&s;rael</HI> and the trou|bles or <HI>Achans</HI> of our day, and their Abettors.</P>
