SHews (as not unknown their in­fluence) the better that we may judge of things to come; from Ex­amples in vain not recorded of things past: Achan as his story for one Epi­tomizes: By whom the golden Wedge or Tongue hid, w ^ch trespass until dis­covered of his, thus and thus, &c. no peace or presence of the Lord any more. So whence as follows, Cause the city to know, &c. for recovery of health, to have knowledge of the dis­ease since the first step thereto.

Acters or consenters, know ye or be informed, of one and the same na­ture: [Page 3] that of the one Talent buried al­so by him or not improved, &c. where so much for the better ordering the Medicine or prescribed Rule: shewing how in days of those late high Priests it came to pass Anno Dom. about 36. By them after what execrable maner Crucified the Oracles of God, their late Altars for that purpose prepared; to be short, over which a Gyant Crucifix being erected: The value not of a Napkin to cover, &c. exposed to the view of all to kneel before it: like as in Golgatha that Fridays dismal Day bowed the knee: Then his humble Servants also.

VVhich Goliah portray'd with the Crown of Thorns, wanting neither its Superscription, done by that in his Holyness Chappel, a true Copy brought [Page 4] over by Father, &c.

VVhen began, the War kindled in Scotland: And so much for that designed place Bethlehems Hospital, alias Bedlem: Bethlehem the House of Bread signifying, or War, &c. un­dergon in behalf of that crying cause, causless Jealousie of hers.

Never that was called to appear or answer whether Guilty, but surpri­zed in that sort, or the Adversary a­gainst her appearing: Conscious of their abominable Cause, of whose proceed­ings [Page 7] by Luke thus recorded: in which aforesaid City dwelt a Judge, saying within himself not difficult to judge when Though I fear not God nor reverence Man: yet least this ne­ver ceasing Widow by her VVri­ting, &c. inlarged thus no ordinary Assessment were mentioned: who by casting into their Treasury those two mites, from that seeming Paradox outstript them all, as Englefield Ma­nor for one devoured, &c. accom­panied with the unparalleld last trou­blesom times Description: when that Famine of Faith a fore-runner of his coming.
