  The Royal remembrancer, or, A Healing letter with arguments and reasons, to the Presbyterians and nonconformists : seasonably offered, from divers learned and conforming persons, to the view of Mr. Calamy, Mr. Jenkins, and others.

summary:
  Many more Testimonies , in the Holy Bible , may be ppoduced of Faction , Treachery , Treason and Rebellion : Historyes both Sacred and Prophane , afford us many Relations of this Nature ; wherein has been recorded not onely the perversness , and perjury of Infidels , but also of Christians , yea of good and believing Christians ( of all Ranks and degrees ) unto Lawful Authority ; And this indeed is the drift I aim at , that it may not seem wonderful unto us , to see men otherwise very Good , Religious , and Conscientious engaged in Faction , and infected with Schism ; the one pernitious to Civil Societies , the other to Ecclesiastical ; and indeed , what the one is to the State , the other is to the Church : Among these very Corinthians , whom St. Paul affirmed to be Saints , santified in Christ Iesus , to have received the Grace of God , to have been enriched by God in all knowledge , to have been called unto the fellowship of Jesus Christ our Lord , among those ( I say ) were found Schisms , Strifes , Envyings , Divisions , and Factions : while one boasted to be of Paul , another of Apollo , another of Cephas , and another of Christ as if Christ had been divided : And although I do not peremptorily charge that great Apostle St. Peter as a Schismatick , yet may I as a Temporizer , one who through fear , and cowardize , did separate himself for a time from Communion with the Gentiles , because of the circumsed Iews ; twice through fear did St. Peter offend ; with him at this time did Barnabas , and divers Iews also dissemble , so as to withdraw from converse with the Gentiles , upon which they were justly taxed by St. Paul for not walking uprightly according to the Truth of the Gospel : And did not their Separation upon this account almost amount unto a Schism ? And now I wil not wonder at the Temporizing , or Time-serving ; yea , or at the Schism of a Presbyterian Moderator : Little reason has he to wrangle at that Translation , Be fervent in Spirit , applying your selves unto the Time ; I onely affirm , that Good and religious men have sometimes been Rebels , and Schismaticks , through the darkness and ignorance of their Understanding ; and through the obstinacy and perverseness of their own Wils . Consider , That you of all Parties , that ever were in the World , have most of all arrogated unto your selves the names of Holy , Godly , and Religious men : Let nor the Truth and Wayes of God be any longer blasphemed , or evil spoken of for your sakes ; but now give glory unto God ▪ and satisfaction to the Church ; return unto her Communion , and despise her not : be less Censorious , and more Charitable towards others , who are sinners , Knowing that you are also in the Body : be not high-minded therefore but fear .

  The fixed saint held forth in a farwell sermon preached at Mary-Aldermanbury, London, August 17, 1662 / Mr. Edmond Calamy.

summary:
  2. Sin brought persons and Nations into internal st●aits : sin brings soul-plagues , which are worse then bodily plagues : sin brings hardness of heart , blindness of mind , a spirit of slumber , a reprobate sence ; sin brings a spiritual famine upon a Land ; it brings a famine of the word , Amos 8. 11. sin causes God to take away the Gospel from a people : sin brings internal plagues : sin wakens conscience , and fills it full of perplexities : Into what a strait did sin drive Judas , after he had betrayed Christ ? Into what a strait did sin drive Spira ? If David had been to suffer this great punishment out of love to God , or for a good conscience , he would not have been so distressed : There are two sorts of straits in Scripture : some suffered for God and a good conscience : and there are straits suffered for sin .

  A Serious advice to the citizens of London by some ministers of the Gospel in the said city upon occasion of the horrid murder and dreadful death of Nathaniel Butler, an high malefactor.

summary:
  And should God leave you to the baseness of your own hellish hearts , would not you also run to all Excess of sin , and that with Greediness too ? What a Chaos ? what a Wilderness of wild Beasts should we be , if Malefactors were not punished ? What Confusion , Cruelty , Barbarousness , would overspread all , if by wholsome Laws , and the care of good Magistrates in the Execution of them , we had not some Boundaries set to the Lusts of men ? whether would the heart of man run , if there were not some reins upon it ? T is sad the Law of God will not keep men from sin , but seeing it will not , t is mercy we have the Laws of Man .

summary:
  Death is terrible to many of Gods children , because they are but infants in grace , and because they do not know the benefit of death . The body of man is animae {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} vestiment●m , It is the souls cloathing ; and death is nothing else but the uncloathing of the soul ; it is just like a man going to bed , and putting off his cloths ; St. Peter cals it , The putting off our earthly tabernacle , 2 pet.

  The saints rest: or Their happy sleep in death. As it was delivered in a sermon at Aldermanbury London, Aug 24. 1651. By Edmund Calamy B.D.

summary:
  So it is true of death , Death is common to all , it is appointed for all men once to die : And therefore David said , He was to go the way of all slesh ; Statutum est omnibus semel mori , Omnibus est calcanda semel lethivia , All men must sleep the sleep of death , or else be changed , which is a metaphorical death . Death is terrible to many of Gods children , because they are but infants in grace , and because they do not know the benefit of death .

  The doctrine of the bodies fragility: with a divine project, discovering how to make these vile bodies of ours glorious by getting gracious souls.

summary:
  READER , WEE live in such times wherein most men in the world cry out with those the Psalmist speaks of in the 4. Psalme , Who will shew us any good ? inquiring and listening after the pleasures and profits and preferments of the world , spending all their time , and improving all their parts , abilities , and opportunities , for the promoting their temporall interests , and providing for their frail bodies , subject to diseases , infirmities , and corruptions ; and which ere long must be laid down in the dust : and in the mean time neglecting the concernments of their precious and never dying souls ; never valuing , or at least not labouring after the light of Gods countenance , which is better then life , and the joyes of his salvation which are unspeakable and glorious ; but preferre their bodies before their souls , greedily pursuing the world , and only minding earthly things , whose end ( as the Apostle saies ) will be destruction , both of soul and body , if they still run on without repentance . WEE are here met at this time to perform the last office of love for a worthy , reverend , and godly Minister of Jesus Christ , Dr. Samuel Bolton Master of Christs Colledge in Cambridge ; and this Text that I have chosen , will afford us many sutable and seasonable considerations for such a meeting : for here you have , first , the condition that the bodies of men ( even the best of men , the Saints of God ) are in , in this life , they are vile bodies , the Greek is very emphaticall {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} , corpus vilitatis , that is , bodies of vilenesse , or a vile body , the Greek {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} signifies abjectam conditionem , a vile and abject condition , such as is the condition of slaves or bondmen .

summary:
  The holy Apostle foresaw how prone men and women would be to be proud of their bodies , to pamper them , to spend all their time , and lay out all their strength to provide for their bodies , even with the neglect of their more pretious souls : And therefore that he might wean people from the immoderate love of their bodies , he purposely calls them vile bodies : and 1 Cor. 15. 43 , he calls them dishonourable bodies , or bodies of dishonour , {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} . It is with the soul and body as it was with Abraham and Lot , Abraham had his servants and cattell , and Lot his , and the country was too little for them .

  The monster of sinful self-seeking, anatomizd together with a description of the heavenly and blessed selfe-seeking : in a sermon preached at Pauls the 10. of December, 1654 / by Edm. Calamy, B.D. ...

summary:
  What is the reason that the Government of the Church , so happily began , is now obstructed , and almost quite broken in 〈◊〉 ? Is it not because all men seek their owne , and no men the things of Christ ? What is the reason that the house of God lieth wast , and every man labours to build his own house ? Why is it that men complain of taxes and want of trading , but no man complaines that the House of God is neglected , the pure Ordinances despised , and the godly Ministry undervalued ? Is it not because all men seek their own , and not the things of Jesus Christ ? What is the reason that the truths of Christ are trampled under feet , and men are suffered to deny the Divinity of Christ and of the Scriptures , and no man saith , why do you so ? But let a man but speak a word against the lawes of men , he shall be severely punished : Is not this , because all men seek their own , and not the things of Jesus Christ ? What is the reason that so few Gentlemen , Citizens , and Ministers ; appeare for the things of Christ ? that so many silence themselves , and suffer Religion to be almost lost , and yet dare not appeare for it ? Why is it that our Lectures are so little frequented in most places● that many think nothing too much to give to their 〈◊〉 , but any thing too much for their Minister ? that 〈◊〉 Master will be very exact to see his servant do his business upon the week da●es , but indulge him to do what he will upon the Lord● day ? When a man seeks his owne things , when they stand in competition with , and in opposition to the things of Christ , when things come to so narrow a bridge , that either he must part with Estate , Liberty , and Life , or with Christ and a good Conscience : If he chooseth to part with Christ and a good Conscience , rather than with his Liberty , Estate or Life , this is a wicked self-seeker .

  But then God accounts us according to his Gospel to break covenant , when we do not only sin , but commit sin against the Covenant , when we do not only sin out of weaknesse , but out of wickednesse ; when we do not only faile , but fall into sin : when we forsake & renounce the Covenant , when we deale treacherously in the Covenant , and enter into league and covenant with those sins which we have sworn against . And if you keep Covenant with God , the great God will keep Covenant with you , and all the blessings of the Covenant which are mentioned in the book of God , which is the book of the Covenant , shall be your portion for ever and ever .

AMong all the Texts that are in the Bible , there is no one Text more suteable to these times , then this that I have read unto you ; But now God commands all men every where to repent : God hath been preaching repentance to England by the Ministry of his word almost these hundred years ; but England hath turned a deaf ear to Gods preaching , and God is now preaching repentance , not only by his Word , but by the sword ; ( for the sword hath a voice as well as the word , Mic. 6. 9.

summary:
  The nature of man is prone to worship God by Crucifixes and Images , and by wayes of our owne devising . This is the difference betweene the serving of God , and the serving of man ; Man can but see the outside , and punish the outside , and judgeth of the inside by the outside .

  Gods free mercy to England presented as a pretious and powerfull motive to humiliation : in a sermon preached before the honourable House of Commons at their late solemne fast, Feb. 23, 1641 / by Edmvnd Calamy ...

summary:
  When God sends judgements upon a Nation , then must we preach judgements to that Nation ; But when he sends mercies , then must we preach mercy : Now God hath brought England into the schoole of mercy , and hath placed it in the highest forme , and hath made it Captaine of the schoole . If you looke backe into the Chapter you shall find , that God promises many rare and great mercies to the house of Israel , Mercies in Folio , Mercies unspeakable : God promises to gather them out of all Countries : And to bring them backe to their owne land ; To cleanse them from Idols : And from all filthinesse : To sprinkle cleane water upon them : To give them a new heart , and a new spirit : And to take away their hearts of stone , and to give them a heart of flesh : And to multiply all outward blessings upon them , &c. Observe from hence ; That God doth sometimes shew mercy to a Nation when it least deserves it , and least expects it .

summary:
  Gentlemen , YOU have heard a worthy Gentleman of the House of Commons , it is desired by this grave and Reverend Assembly of Ministers , that three of the Ministers of this Assembly should likewise speak unto you concerning this great business , and notwithstanding my indisposition of body , being required by them , though that Gentleman of the House of Commons hath spoken so abundantly to the purpose , yet notwithstanding I am here come to speak something , the rather to declare my willingness to appear in this Cause , that is every way so just , and every way so honest , and so good , that I may truly say , as the Martyr did , that if I had as many lives , as I have hairs on my head , I would be willing to sacrifize all these lives in this Cause ; You know the story of Craesus , that though he never spake in his life , yet when he saw his Father ready to be killed , it untyed the strings of his tongue , and then he cryed out , that they would not kill his Father ; you are not ignorant that England and Ireland lye a dying , and though I never appeared in this place , yet I bless God that hath given me that health , this day , to speak something in this Cause , for the reviving of the dying condition of England , and Ireland ; It is such a Cause as is able to make a very Infant eloquenr , and a dumb man to speak that never spake in all his lise ; The matter I am desired to speak to , is , concerning the Contribution , to perswade you to be liberal towards the bringing in of the Scots , to help us in this our great necessity ; The truth is , it is a great shame that England should stand in need of another Nation , to help it to preserve its Religion and Liberties : That England , that hath been enriched with the Gospel of Peace , and the peace of the Gospel for so many years ; that England , that hath been blessed with so many rare Ministers of God , so many precious , and powerful servants , that have preached the Word of God in season and out of season ; that England , that hath professed the Gospel with so much power and purity ; that England should stand in need of the help of their Brethren of Scotland , for to preserve that Gospel that they have professed so many years ; I confess to me it seems a very strange Prodigie , and a strange wonder ; but it hath pleased Almighty God for the sins of England , for our great unthankfulness , and for our unthankfulness under these means , and for the great blood-guiltiness , and Idolatry , and Superstition of this Nation , it hath pleased God to suffer a gre●…t ●…art of th●… Kingdom to be blinded , especially those parts , where the Word os God hath not been preached in a powerful manner ; and there are many in th●… King●…om , that will not be perswaded , that there is an intention to bring in Pop●…ry , and to bring in Slavery ; Many of them ( I say ) think that though the Popish Army should prevail , and the plundering Army shoul●… 〈◊〉 , yet they think all would go well with Religion , and with their Liber●…es ; I say it hath pleas●…d God to ●…uffer abundance in the Kingdom , to be blinded with this opinion , out of a just judgement to punish us for our unthankfuln●…ss , and for our ingr●…titude ; and this is the reason that so many men stand Neuters , and that ●…o many are Malignants , and disaffected to this great Cause , in so much that I am concluded under this , that there i●…ittle probability to finish this Cause , without the coming in of the Scots , ( as you heard so worthily by that Member of the House of Commons ; ) printed by ●…hristopher Meredith by his own appointment ; directly contrary to St. Peter , who tells us , that the King is the Supreme , and not any one , or two Houses of Parl●…ament without him ; contrary to St. Paul , who ●…ells us , that whosoever ( severally , or conjunctly ) shall resist , much more that shall fight against this Highest Power , resist the ordinance of God , and shall receive damnation ; and contrary to our oath of Allegiance , wherein we acknowledge the King , to be the only Supreme Governour of this Nation .

  Smectymnuus redivivus Being an answer to a book, entituled, An humble remonstrance. In which, the original of liturgy episcopacy is discussed, and quæries propounded concerning both. The parity of bishops and presbyters in scripture demonstrated. The occasion of the imparity in antiquity discovered. The disparity of the ancient and our moderne bishops manifested. The antiquity of ruling elders in the church vindicated. The prelaticall church bounded.

summary:
  Ille qui antè p●dibus aut as●lloire consueverat , spumante equ● superbus inv●hitur ; parvâ priùs ac vili cellula contentus habitare , erigit celsa Laquearia , construit multa conclavia , sculpit p●stes , pingit a●maria , vestem respuit g●ossiorem , indumentum molle desiderat , &c. Which because the practice of our times hath already turned into English , we spare the labour to translate . But if this Remonstrant be in the right , concerning the Jewish Liturgies , then the Evangelical Church might better have improved her peace and happinesse , then in composing Models of Invocation and Thanksgiving , when there is one extant and ready to be produced , that was constantly used by Gods people ever since Moses dayes , and put over to the times of the Gospel , and confirmed by Apostolical practise : or else great is our losse , who are so unhappily deprived of the best improvement , the Church made of her peace and happinesse in the first 300. years : for rejecting those Liturgies that are confessed by the Learned to bee Spurious : we challenge this Remonstrant to produce any one Liturgie that was the issue of those times . And blessed Constantine was herein as unhappy as wee , who needed not have composed forms of prayer for his Guard to use upon the Lords day , but might and would have taken them out of former Liturgies , if there had been any ; And can ye with patience think that any ingenuous Christian should be so transported , as upon such weak and unproved premises to build such a Confident conclusi●n , as this Remonstrant doth ? and in that Conclusion forget the state of the controversie , sliding from the question of a prescribed and imposed Liturgy to an arbitrary book of prayer .

summary:
  And it is called in Scripture an abominable thing ; it is compared to the filth under a mans nails , and to the putrefactions of sores ; and the dung , the excrements of man ; and wilt thou love that which is loathsom to God ? shall sin be so abominable in the sight of God , and shall it not be so in my sight ? Lord , what is man that thou shouldest make the Heaven , the Sun , and the Moon , and the Stars for his sake ? You must know , that all the whole Creation is a picture of God ; it is Gods Looking-glass , wherein you may behold the God of Heaven and Earth ; there is no Creature but it hath the Image of God upon it ; there is not the least spice of grace but you that are spiritual may read God in it .

  Evidence for heaven containing infallible signs and reall demonstrations of our union with Christ and assurance of salvation : with an appendix of laying down certain rules to be observed for preserving our assurance once obtained / published by Ed. Calamy ...

summary:
  Secondly , He must seek it orderly , he must follow the vein ; He must not begin where God begins , but where God ends ; he must not begin at the root to fi●d the branch , but by the branch discry the roote , my meaning is , he must not begin with Gods decree in predestination , which is the root of salvation ; But with regeneration and justification , which are branches issuing out of this root , other wayes he may destroy the tree ere he is aware , I mean himself , and all hope of Heaven and salvation , as I have known some do , and fall into utter desperation ; The truth is , he that will not beleeve , untill he read God's decree in Heaven , must never look for any assurance of Heaven here , nor fruition of it hereafter ; If you will not beleeve , you shall not be established , saith the Text ; He that will reach to Heaven by Jacobs Ladder , must begin at the lowest step ; this is the Scripture way to get assurance ; Christs directory prescribes it , when Iesus Christ would instruct Nicodemus about his spirituall and eternall estate , he did not send him to Heaven , to read the records of the celestiall court , but sent him to read himself over , to search his own heart and life , to consider whether he were regenerate and born again , whether he were ingrafted into Christ , and made a new Creature , yea , or nay ; Christ directs him to the effect to find out the cause , not to the cause to find out the effect , which teaches us , that he that would get some good Evidence of the Love of God and his own salvation , must begin at home with the workings of God , in and upon himself , he must consider what work the Spirit of God hath done in him , what sight of sinne , what sense of sinne , what sorrow for sinne , what l●athing and forsaking of sinne , he hath wrought in him , what grace or desire of grace , or prizing of grace , the Spirit of God hath wrought in him ; The Father himself Loveth you , saith Christ. Why the next words tell us , Ye have loved me , and beleeved , &c. The Father himself loved you , because ye have loved m● , and beleeved that I came out from God : It is as if Christ had said , your faith to me , working by love to me , demonstrates it ; for Christ doth not here make our Faith , or our love the cause of Gods love to us , but the discoverer of it : And the Apostle tells us , That whom God did foreknow he also did predestinate , to be conformed to the Image of his Sonne , and ver . 30. saith , that whom he did predestinate , them he also called ( to wit ) inwardly and effectually , according to his purpose , by giving them saving grace ; and whom he thus calleth , them he also justifieth ▪ and whom he justifieth , them he also glorifieth ; And here the Apostle followeth the example of his Lord and Master , leading us to the cause by the effects , and to the end by the meanes , hence it is evident , That he that would get assurance of his Election , must seek it in the workings of God , in , and upon himself ; he must consider , how his justification i● evidenced by his sanctification , and his election by both .
