A SIGN Given them being entered into The day of judgement To set their House in order. For the High Court of Parliament assembled. From the Lady Eleanor. Psal. 97. The Lord is King (or reigneth) let the earth rejoice; let the great Isles be glad. London, Printed in the Year 1644. ●rinted with some words of addition for the Year present, 1649. A DISCOVERY Unto what Nation the last Day aforehand to be in the last days Revealed: Contained in the XX. of Kings, Isaiah 39 AS had no other assigned then The word of God, touching the Resurrections then being at hand, but that of Ionas the prophet; so in point of like incredulity at his return again turned Sadduces, appointed no other, but this of King Hezekiahs' days (Kings, etc.) that for a sign or assurance had, the third day of his uprising, going up to the Lords house to seal it; that of the shadows going back, for the third of his life out lengthened, a lease made him of thrice five years, like a shadow when past. Without which token, not in a capacity of obtaining so high blessing passed not without being by the prophet Isaiah advertised (the Lord of Hosts Ambassador) his house afterward how swept; and sons under what slavery issued from him, not for facility such only, but difficulty of belief dangerous not a little. Of which days come about again, this great Revolution ushering the day of judgement, his coming in the Clouds; whereof as follows, of jacob's ladder reaching to heaven gate, thus, The express Epitome of King James' life of Great Britain, where beside no small plague accompanying his first coming, afore never visited so with those tokens, of his like recovery, here giving to understand beyond expectation; such a solemn Thanksgiving for which at Paul's Cross: which long Sermon in was related, how in his late sickness unto death, he likewise justified his upright walking with God: and there with how plucked off his Cap, and cast it on the ground, in such a passion professing in point of witting Injustice, he would not so much as ask God forgiveness; by which way of purging himself, as came not behind Hezekiah neither in some gross failings: like that good King his harkening to those charming Babylonian Ambassadors or Spies with letters sent to congratulate from Baladon son of Baladan. Also who shown them all his store and armoury, coming from those Austrian Philips, etc. overcome with like juggling slights, a few figs and junkets, suffered that Gundamore having surveyed the Tower, to carry away as many great Ordnance and Guns as he pleased, preserved for Truth's defence, and Kingdoms safety, in no less peril of home bred friends such, then foreign foes, requisite with Arms and Forces to be secured: And then how sent his Son after, forced for whose Ransom to send over All the precious things and goodly, laid up by his Predecessors, to be bestowed amongst those insatiable Eunuches and Officers distributed. And lastly the good man himself, in whose days flourished Truth and Peace, thus overreached, for all his Kingcraft and Learning, that broke his heart shortly after. And the rest of his Acts, and all his might (or greatness) and how he brought water into the City, and made a Pool and a Conduit, that Idol the cross are they not written in the Chronicles, etc. And thus this Hezekiah slept, and rested with his fathers, and Manasses his son reigned in his stead; that came not short of Ahab: and he awakened thus, for him so much suffices, become a sign himself, no inferior one, had the Suns retiring for a sign, Obeyed Joshuahs' command (not feigned Phaeton) stood 〈…〉 Moon moving neither they ●rri●●d that longed after Rest, so now before removed, carried thence away, shows them the way accomp●●i●● 〈…〉 it were, sets 〈◊〉 the East: Moreover for whose additional years, fiveteen wedded to those ten degrees, these crowning the first of his Reign, 1625. forbids any more Coronations of Kings: No more rising or setting here of theirs. Kings xxi. Chron. xxxiii. ANd this Manasseh twice twelve years old, when he began to reign over Great Britain; How he reared Altars to Baal, and set up his Roman Altars, built Altars in the house of the Lord, adored that Babylonian Image the Crucifix, manifest are they not on record? Beyond Heathenism abomination execrable: Moreover to the overthrow of them and theirs, how many seduced, beside shedding so much Innocent Blood; insomuch that the Catalogue of his sins, Manasses great wickedness, the hateful Amorites Cup, wherewith paralleled and worse; which Tyrants but light in comparison, weighed with this MAN'S, since 1625. the Remonstrance of the present. To whom the Lord spoke, and to his people likewise, but both by regard alike improved in his Commandments; as the Sun's course the contrary way gone as many degrees astray, and so both alike whether rewarded, recomended to the beholders, whose high looks brought down, here see whose Sons coat this? therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I am bringing an evil upon them, that whose heareth it, both his ears shall tingle: where thus again, whether Jerusalem's line stretched over us, CITY and Country both; And I will wipe Jerusalem, as a man wipeth a dish, which he wipeth and turneth it upside down; as in a glass whether presents not the face of the present, spares neither side; who not amiss deriving from Brute their denomination, from the Ass as well who understands his owner, no such stranger to the dumb. And so much for this Manna set at nought, these judgements of the Lord foreshowed, light by set; notwithstanding speaking the Canaan language unto this our Age, to all whosoever hath ears, in their Native tongue, shown them their unnatural motion gone backward how far, offended thereat or no, whereof as ensues. This for another making up the number, he when made his supplication, how was heard, also returned to Hampton-Court; however misled by sinister Counsel, or betrayed, not unhumbled either, unknown not unto all who agreed to whatsoever, about two years after who slew him in his own house, attended with glowing ears not a few, such a spectacle. And how the people of the Land slew them again that had conspired, etc. Rainsborough and our Holland Ambassador, taking essay of it, Drunkenness added to blood-thirstiness, were the first saluted with which unexpected cup. And with expedition (a few words to the wise) on this wise passing on, what Baptism first passed on his Sons, visible in the Seers book; withal how servile on the other side to his Priests Bishops, charmed by their subtle Gospels: whose Service book because allowed by his Father, what an Idol made of it, where that for another, recorded in their Prophetical Remonstrance, gave himself to them that had Familiar Spirits, bringing up whoso named by him, the gods and others; as Plays his night exercise. And the rest of his folly, and other of his judgement, making his Prayer-book also equivolent with the Alsufficient Scriptures, evident as his grove made, daily at Ball where sacrificed his time, graced with one of his Father's unhappy acts, that Baal's or James Chappel, prodigious Twin, the other his Babylonian Theatre, from James' to which fatal place made his last progress or march, erected in Commemoration of the Ark as had been, also the seventeenth Century current; as from Adam to the Flood so long, not unforewarned of it by him that was the son of Adam, that was the son of God; that as were those days before Noah, so shall be his coming again, concerning not only Tim●● golden vial or glass, by which account its being at a stand: But how it stands or fares with faith put to the question (Luke, etc.) whether found such a thing as f●●●h, how preparid then? As for the fit time, or when. Lo, the present generation: 〈◊〉 Masters, for setting your house in order 〈…〉 here dis; charges her calling or place b● farther giving you in the next place notice, from Manasses fifty five years' Reign, of his second coming at hand, goeth hand in hand with that of Caesar Augustus his five and fifty years, in whose Reign The Prince of Life, The Beginning and Ending of Monarchy, came, about the fortieth year, into the world, that began to be about Thirty years of age, in the fifteenth year of Tiberius, (Luke, etc.) even the sum of it bids turn to those sure Chronicles, penned by the holy Spirits command, thus saith the Spirit, from the return of Manasses days to expect his coming again, aforehand, as showed unto his servants the Prophets, expressly pointing to the year 1655. at hand, being the time when the flood came, 1655. from the Creation, as computed by the Ancients and other Noah and his (Baptisms figure, at man's estate all) preserved in the Whale's womb, ten months fulfilling, before any window in the Ark opened: and thus one deep calling to another, as when the waters prevailed, the snowy Dove found no footing, the Raven afore sent forth, no other presaging then the Spirit of Prophecy, at such a time again though ceased long at last salutes the nations with the Olive leaf in her mouth, so seasonable now for their healing, without which Angelical leaves applied, an evil incurable, promised The Tree of life, yielding its monthly fruit. And so be it known, That the aforesaid blessed period of years 55. containing Months 666. (Rev. 13.) called The number of a MAN (to wit) that Roman Emperors Reign shown afore the Month of August bearing his Name; by whose Predecessor the Calendar corrected: and 666 Hours fulfilling a Month, all bids Tyrant Time and his Generation or Offspring Adieu, subscribed with Emanuel Jesus, its Numerals' MVILV.
