.Q Mong the manifold examples of Gods wrath
T f" 3 and Juﬁice upon men for ﬁnne, this age hath _
‘ had neta few as well as former ages; and as
former ages have {howne forth feverall exam,
ples of Gods Irefull indignation for feverall
1; ﬁnnes:l'o efpecially among other ﬁnnes for
this,the perfecution of Gods fervants: which
perfecution, leaft {ome {hould thinke them-
. {elves altogether free fromfo long as they keepc
their hands From being aa'ually embrewed in innocent blood, let them
be pleafed to conﬁder that there is a double pet-fecution; either when
aman doth incourage another in his perfecution of; Others, or whena
than deth himl'elfe aftually perfecute, the ﬁrft of thefe {hall bee wa-
ved altogether in this difcourfe, the {econd lhall be touched upon, and
lo I {hall palTe on to the mining difcourle : And thefe perfecutors wee
{hall reduce to three forts, and they are thefe ; Fitft, hand perfecutors;
fecondly, heart perfecutors 5 thirdly tongue perfecutors. As for the
ﬁtﬁ fort ofperl'ecutors, whofeperfecution is a perfecution of the hind
( asImay fo tearme it) this is of a large exrent, conﬁi'ting in 'eXtemall '
perfecuting a&ions : But I {hall decline {peaking of that,hecaufe it doth
nOI'fo ptoPerly belong to this dil'courl'e, and it being alfo a thing,
3: 3 l *3 z. A 2 which

 

(2)

which many, though their malicious hearts would put them upon

it, yet dare not a€t it, becaufe‘the Lawcs‘ of the Land doe manacle ,

them, and lo dOth reftraine them from that which their, oWne evil’l
hearts would put them upcn .- I‘fhall alfo in that regard fay no more
of it; fo likewife for the fecond fort ofperl'ecutors, whofe perfecutio
cnis the perfccution of the heart, Ilhall not fpeake of that at all, be-
cauie ye {hall fee enough of what is in the heart by that which is'in-
the tongue, for as Chriﬂ faith, Mathew I z; 34. From the-aéandance' of
the 195th the mmbpealwb‘: So that the’tongue being an evident deo
monftration of that to the World thatbeFOre lay hid in the heart, I {hall
not neede to fpeake any thing at all of that ; and {o I come to fpeake
of the third fort ofperfecutors, and thofe are they whole perfecution is
with the tongue. ’ ' , ' _
Now concerning this perfecution, the Apoﬁle Pimlfpealtes in the
fourth Chapter of the Galatiam, verf. 2'8. where'the Apoftle {peaking
concerning Ijhmacl and Ifaac, faith, that hee that Was borne after the
ﬁefh did perfecute him that was borne after the Spirit: what that perfe-
cution was, is apparent enough : It was the perfecution oi'the tongue, as
you may fee iFyou-compare that place in the fourth Chapter of the Gal—
latr'au, verf. 28. with the at. of Gemﬁr, wrﬁ 9. there you may fee
that which in Gemﬁr is calleda mocking of Ifw, that in the fomrh of
the Epil’tle to the Galrm'amﬁerf. 28. is called a perfecution of Ifm.‘
Now concerning examplé5 of {och as have had Gods fearefuil judge.
ments feize upon them for this kind of perfecution : you may take no—
tice of them as recorded in Holy Writ, and alfo as made examples by
God in our dayes, that (0 they may be as Sea markes for the emitting"
Generationsdeaft they {hould dafh theml'elves upon the fame Rockes;
Firﬂ: to inﬁance one and no more in divine writ, and that I
would have you feriouﬂy to marke, It is in 2.King: 2.23,24, There
you may fee that a great judgement fell upon thofe little Children for
calling the Prophet Eli/[m Bald-head. Its an inﬂance concerning a
Prophet, but may be applyed by Others of Gods fervants. It is laid that
two’Beareé did come out of the Wood and tore 42. of them : A man
would have thought, judging after the judgement of Carnall Reafon :
that this had beene {omewhat hard. El'pecial'ly being that they were (as
the Tex: ﬁtith) But little Children ;\frhich happily Tome of them might
farce undcri’cand what they faidﬁht‘f’f‘iiﬁght be drawne to it by others ex‘
amn‘cs; now for fuch a judgement to come upon them, there lies the

wonder, : and if they had heen'e at riper yeares, and fuch a judgement.
had come upon them for {uch an evill, then it would have {tented {omea- ‘

what.

“r."-

what weretonerablt re the-airtime eyeé bf ear-hall Reafon, and men

mul'd not {'0 wander at it. But from henee we may fee how God hates
this 'ﬁnne'of perieeatieh ': that he punilhéth it may times in them Which
{cares know What they doe, but may happily, or rather. unhappily be
brOught en to it by Others examples—Who may net d‘dit out of ignorance,
but through leamled-gegnd its Well if notom Of muliee alfo. And in all

‘ this God is moﬁiuﬂﬂoi' he may puma: ﬁnne Where Ever he‘e ﬁnds it,

Whether it be in ﬁnal] or great. .

But to come to our ownéimesﬁn which hath bin manifeﬁed‘the fevere
indignation, ofG‘od againi’t fuch courier). Two examples; of Which Wee
hare had in the City of Oxﬁrd,in which, as in a Lo bking—glal'f e We may
behold the m‘oﬁ rema'ﬂ'teable and he‘arefull indignation of Gods fevere
countenance againﬂ: fu‘Ch performs as have a hand in a thing {'0 highly
difpleaﬁng to hisMajei'hié as that is, namely the perfecution of them
who are the faVOi‘itcs of the God ofheaVen, what ever man efieeme of
them. “

, The ﬁrl’c example that I {hall give you, is, of one in the Parifh of
Hollow}! in the City of Oxfard ( who being deﬁrous to. looke backe to
the Garlicke and onions of Egypt. I meane thol'e Maynpole games
as delightfull to them as the Other things to Ifmel of old ) did let up a
May-pole, that he might not be dii’r'erent from Others in Other'places
there abouts; and rather than he would be deﬁcient in what others had,
he Would be fuberﬂuous 'and have what Others had net 3 although in;
deede what he had, and others had in that particular, was more than a
good dcale : he being new deﬁrous to make fome addition to the Pole,-
fport, fets upon that the-pié‘ture of a man in a Tub, and faid, that was the

piét‘ure of a Roundhead .- Which PiE’c‘ureis reported to be made in dea ~

riﬁon of a godly man, a Manciple of one of the Colledges in Oxﬁrd t
and the Reafon why it was to reprefent him, was, becaufe he wash god-
ly honef’c man, having repetitiOn of Sermons in his houfe, articlid that
which God requires of him, and of them too, who defpii’ed it, although
they have not that grace that he had to performe their duty as they
ought. This Pié’ture being up, this man, with others being about it, inta-
king themfelves merrily mad, or mad merry (call it what you will) In

the concluﬁon they came to this, that they would {home at this Piq‘rure

of the Roundhead; Tome fay that the PiEture was to be pulled downe‘ by
the command of the Vice—Chancellour, and for that they would have

‘ this Piéture downe in triumph, becaufe it was to goe downe therefore

they did fhoote at it, but whether that be lo or no, it is nor much materi—

all, the end of their {portwas to deride thoi'e who were of that good-

neﬂ'e which they for their parts did not mean to attain unto, and thefe
Called by the name ofRound-heads: .In the concluﬁon {cine-brought
Muskets, and other Pieces to (heat at the Piclure, and one, a" {ervant
of the man whofe delight this game was, ihoc, and did hit the Piﬁure, at
which the Mailer fella laughing, and on a fudden funke downe, falling
into a Convultion ﬁt, and hath beene ﬁcke ever ﬁnce, and now at this -‘
prefent for any thing reported to the contrary, and whether heilwill live, i
or die, that muilt be left to him to judge, who hath the iﬂ‘ues of life'and .' '
death in his owne hand. ' ' . ' y, i

2'. The fecond example in the fame City was in } Taverne,wherebe.
ing meta company'of drinkers, who rather then they would have? no
pailzime at all, in the mid& of their cups did refolve to doe that which
was evill, {'0 they might rejoyce in it, and what they. are that reioyce in
evill, Solomon tels you’: Among the rei’t of their aftions, this was one, a
health dranke to the confulion ofthé Round-heads, which when it had
gone round,one amongl’c the reﬂ being ready to invent fomething new,
though never {0 naught; come faith he, I will goe {cut a: Caper to the
confuﬁon of the Round-heads, but his wife not liking inch doings,
would have perfwaded him to have deﬁi’ted from it,__as once Pilate: . '
wife tvould have diflwaded him from an evill aﬁion, Mat. 27. 29'.’ But.
as Pilate: wife could net prevaile with Pilate, fo neither could this wo-
man with her husband. But/he going to begin his dance, and fo to cut
his caper, fell downe and broke his leg, upon which he lay by it a long
while, and at laﬁ dyed. ‘ _

' 3. Anether example is a company oFRoyﬂ-ers about Chearing-Crofs,
or no: far oi? it, abuﬁng one of the trained Bands with their uncivill
tongues, giving them reproachfull and ignominious termes, and being ’
reproVed by one {pr it, fell fowle upon the man, and drew upon him,and
in tlrul'ling at him, gave him a prick in the hand, the mans hilt of his
{yard laying none of the beik guards ; but he being l'et upon” let ﬂie at
i no of‘thcm, and cuc him croWe the wriﬁ, and ('0 cutting the ﬁnewes he
let Fall his ﬁvord, and (0 was laid hold of, and now. lies in the Gatehoufe
to anl'wcr foi- his demerits.

4.; Another example is of divers perfons, who being drinking in the ;

M iter Taverne in Fleetrflreete, did abufe anOther of the traine Bands of

the pity,by‘caf‘ting out {omething forth of the Chamber window among ‘

the§,‘0trldiers,beﬁdes the abuﬁve language they .ul‘ed ; one having more .

ingenuity then the Other, reprOVed them that did it, and upon that they ;
asked him if he were a Round—head, and they drawing one upon ano.

, and ﬁabbed him with a Stilletto, the oth ers comming on him likewife',
he wounded them borh; v-ofwhich‘three wounded, two are now'dead,
and-the other his recovery queitionable : This man made away downe
ﬁaires, with his {word in one hand, and Stilletto in another, and running,
downe Ram-Alley, got down toWard the water, and is not as yet heard
of 4- here may we fee Gods jui’cice upon thefegas was once' {hown upon
the Amorites and Moabites, {offering them to flay one anOther, that fo

he might take vengeance upon their ﬁns.

One in CrgeaChurthlParifh, a woman commonly noted to be an a-
nemy to, and a mocker oigoodnefle‘and good men, which ill difpoﬁ-
tion of hers, {he-manifeﬂzed not long ﬁnce in the Church at a Sermon
made there bylMaﬂzechlr, who deﬁredthat they would not ﬂeep, but
{he being aﬂeep, and waken'ed by one MiﬂreiTe Clark, a woman well
reputed of for godlinefre, which awakening was but in a neighbourly
and. loving way, by the jogging of her knee, as they fate together; She:
prefently fell into {trange expreflions,p(0b}au bold dram/(m ﬂut, doejgrt

ﬁreﬂe Clair/Q put up in ﬁlence, and only acquainted her husband with
her ufage in the forenoone,‘and eXprefred her unwillingneﬂk to .ﬁt in the
pew with her, whereupon he unwilling there {hould bee any difference
between his wife and any, repaired to the Minifter of the Church, and
deﬁred that the Church-wardens, and the ancientel’t of the parifh would
after Sermon fend for the womans husband, and fee whether or no hee
would abett and encourage her in this evrll : According to his deﬁre,
after Sermon he was (cut for, and came, where after he had asked th¢
caufe why he was [em for, and the wronged party began to relate it, hee
would nor fuffer him to goe on, but broke forth into' fowle words, and
told him he lyed,for his wife had kicked his wife in the Church,therup.
orithe LeEturer of the {aid Church, MaﬁerF ingbamﬁeﬁred in love to:
take him of, and entreated that each might be heard, and then the bufi-
nefl'e would the better be reconciled 3 to whom. he replyed, I have no—
thing to doe with you, nor you with me, and to anorher that reproved'
him for fuch ill behaviour, you are a Blockhead, and a Roundhead, and
thereupon went haﬁily out of the Veﬁrie, and Fetcht his wife, who came
thither in a great heat, and very probably full ofbitterneife, for the ma:
