<HEAD>Mrs. <HI>JAMES</HI>'s ADVICE TO THE Citizens of London.</HEAD>
<P>GEntlemen of this City, to whom I wi&s;h both Health and Happine&s;s, and there is not any thing will rejoyce me more than to have you truly happy; which I doubt not but you will obtain, if you will be &s;o wi&s;e as to lay by your Animo&s;ities, and to implore the Almighty to direct you; for God loves to be &s;ought to in time of trouble: and not to attribute any thing to man that properly belongs to God; for he mu&s;t have the Glory of his own Works: Hap|py are the men that makes the Lord their God, and puts their whole tru&s;t in Him; for they &s;hall be guided by his Wi&s;dom to do his Will. But I fear many men in this Di&s;tracted Time may not con&s;ult that Point. But Gentlemen you know that God cannot contradict him&s;elf, therefore it is his Will that the KING &s;hould be &s;afe; for he hath declared, <HI>Tbat none &s;hould touch his Annointed, nor do his Prophets any harm;</HI> and altho the King is gone, yet GOD remains; to whom you are obli|ged to pay all Obedience: and if it is his Wi&s;dom to try you, you mu&s;t not do as the Children of <HI>I&s;rael</HI> did when they want|ed <HI>Mo&s;es,</HI> make to them&s;elves a Golden Calf, and &s;ay, <HI>This is your God, O I&s;rael, that delivered you out of Bondage:</HI> and this thing became a great Sin, becau&s;e they di&s;tru&s;ted God who had delivered them, and tru&s;ted in their own handywork; as if he were not able to deliver them &s;till. Let not this be our Con|dition, but ob&s;erve what our Ble&s;&s;ed Saviour advi&s;eth us, <HI>That we &s;hould render to Cae&s;ar the things that are Cae&s;ars, and to God the things that are Gods:</HI> &s;o that there is a nece&s;&s;ity to be ju&s;t, while you plead Gods Cau&s;e, and who knows but that it was the Will of God, to &s;uffer His Maje&s;ty to incline towards <HI>Rome,</HI> that he might be as an Angel to try our Sincerity, and that the Errors of <HI>Rome</HI> might have a Total Overthrow; but the Sincere to be Convinc'd, and the King to be the Happy In|&s;trument of Uniting our Differences; and that God that chang'd <HI>Nebuchadnezar</HI>'s Heart, can convince my Soveraign Lord, and make him more Zealous for the Prote&s;tant Reli|gion than ever he was for <HI>Rome,</HI> which will be your Glory.</P>
<P>Therefore, if ever you intend to be Happy and prevent Gods Wrath, decline not your Loyalty, for that is able, by Gods ble&s;&s;ing, to convince the King, when he &s;hall &s;ee your Sincerity; for how was <HI>Saul</HI> over-power'd by <HI>David,</HI> when he cry'd out, <HI>That he was more righteous than him&s;elf;</HI> therefore it is every mans duty to be True to his God, his King and Countrey; and have nothing to do with Popery, which the Lord grant. <HI>Amen.</HI></P>
