Touching the healing of the present Evil.  
Shows (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, which 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.  
actors or consenters, know ye or be informed, of one and the same nature: that of the one talon buried also by him or not improved, &c. where so much for the better ordering the Medicine or prescribed Rule: showing how in days of those late high Priests it came to pass Anno Dom. about 36. By them after what execrable manner Crucified the Oracles of God, their late Altars for that purpose prepared; to be short, over which a giant 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.  
Which Goliath portrayed with the Crown of Thorns, wanting neither its Superscription, done by that in his holiness chapel, a true Copy brought over by Father, &c. Whilst that Original as shamefully covered the Ten Commandment at the East end placed: to their low obeisance at every turn, lest an eyesore.  
Had contrived under colour of an Altar Hanging, fastened down to the wall of course purple Woollen, even to eclipse that Light of Lights: whereby to cover the Ten Commandments no obscure business as befell: brought in Litchfield Minster: where this Monster Table appointed with the Centurion, armed at all points, mounted on this Courser: the Beast worshipped too.  
Unsufferable to behold, the one not more ignominiously exposed, than the other obscured: to give free passage to whatsoever abomination.  
Whereupon, O accursed, as obliged for bringing to light the same Court and Ci●y to awaken: Their Lord Major that year a Litchfieldman: resolved to set some mark upon their purple Covering, whereon she cast a Confection made but of Tar, mixed with wheat Starch, with fair Water heated, &c. Them possessing with such outrage-flocking about it, some Gunpowder Treason as though: upon whose fright, post a Sergeant at Arms was sent down at Candlemas to carry her up: Carriers unable to pass after that summer's drought, when as much wet again: At whose Arrival, though Higher Powers certified by the Sergeant at Arms, of such causeless panic Terror: yet said, in regard who knows what she may do in other Mother Churches: Held it fit to commit her to the city's Custody; one as it were buried quick in Bedlems loathsome Prison, infected with those foul Spirits day and night Blaspheming: where was shut up by the space of two years sufficiently published or bruited by that time.  
When began, the War kindled in Scotland: And so much for that designed place Bethlehem's Hospital, alias bedlam: Bethlehem the House of Bread signifying, or War, &c. undergone in behalf of that crying cause, causeless jealousy of hers.  
Never that was called to appear or answer whether Guilty, but surprised in that sort, or the Adversary against her appearing: Conscious of their abominable Cause, of whose proceedings by Luke thus recorded: in which aforesaid City dwelled a Judge, saying within himself not difficult to judge when Though I fear not God nor reverence Man: yet lest this never ceasing Widow by her writing, &c. enlarged thus no ordinary Assessment were mentioned: who by casting into their Treasury those two mites, from that seeming Paradox outstripped them all, as Englefield Manor for one devoured, &c. accompanied with the unparalleled last troublesome times Description: when that Famine of Faith a forerunner of his coming.

oyez, himself Westminster's crier, in the mean while much People gathered, several So●ls those, proclaims Earth, Earth, in relation to her Ears not few: how difficult to bring forth fruit in kind, three for one miscarrying: He that hath ears, &c.  
Which Ten Commandments lastly how were Restored; although yielded not to pluck down the aforesaid Cloth that Altar Ornament, appointed nevertheless in an Azure Table the Law engraven to be in gold Letters: Hanged up in all Churches, bearing date, Anno 37.  
To be buried in silence neither, where by accident in the prisoner's Chamber: when brought into it, beheld on the wall the two written Tables in Moses hand coming down out of the Mount, the only Ornament or Picture there, hanged up on a Nail: not long after rent down by the Keeper; because unto some showed or as a token then what done by them in Churches: not calling to mind; As visits unto the third and fourth Generation, That hates them, so mercy shows to Thousands that love his Commandments.  
And so return to their sufferings: As testifies (Apocalips cap. 11.) The Tables of the Law those Lights inclusive with the two invincible Witnesses, Where the Lord Crucified, &c.

And for a leading touch, these suffices for this spreading soar, its swellings to assuage threatening, no less than Ears and Throat: By our achan's for the accursed thing put among their own stuff, as upon his Humiliation showed them: And for this Analogy between the Times of spiritual Egypt's Map.
