Some
Considerations
proposed
to
the
City
of
London
,
and
the
Nation
of
England
,
to
calm
their
spirits
,
and
prepare
them
to
Wait
for
what
the
Lord
is
bringing
about
,
that
they
may
not
run
headily
into
their
own
ruin
and
destruction
,
and
by
this
extraordinary
heat
of
their
spirits
kindle
that
fire
,
which
will
soon
deuour
them
.
With
a
short
Exhortation
to
them
,
relating
to
their
true
Settlement
,
and
the
Removal
of
that
which
hinders
it
.
1.
THE
Lord
God
Almighty
,
who
made
Heaven
and
Earthly
who
upholds
them
by
the
word
of
his
Power
,
whose
they
are
,
with
all
their
Inhabitants
,
he
ruleth
in
the
Kindomes
of
men
,
establishing
or
overturning
Laws
,
Governments
,
and
Governours
at
his
pleasure
,
(
Psal.
75.
5.
&c.
Don.
4.
25
,
35.
)
2.
That
the
Lord
hath
had
an
especial
hand
in
the
shakings
and
changes
of
this
Nation
,
and
hath
some
great
thing
to
bring
about
,
which
he
ordereth
all
unto
.
And
though
many
of
the
transactions
and
passages
(
as
relating
to
men
)
have
been
very
●lamable
,
yet
the
Lord
hath
been
just
and
good
in
them
all
,
and
can
in
his
own
good
time
recover
the
ground
which
he
hath
seemed
to
lose
,
and
advantage
both
the
good
of
his
People
,
and
of
the
Nation
,
by
all
their
Sufferings
,
Losses
,
discouragements
,
and
disadvantages
.
3.
In
this
late
Revolution
,
there
may
be
more
of
God
than
man
is
a
ware
of
.
God
in
his
infinite
wisdome
might
see
that
this
Parliament
was
not
fit
for
the
Work
,
and
so
might
suffer
such
a
thing
to
fall
out
between
them
and
the
Army
(
heightning
their
spirits
on
both
sides
)
as
might
occasion
the
Removal
of
them
out
of
the
way
.
Yea
and
this
present
change
may
be
but
a
passage
to
another
,
unless
the
Lord
find
these
very
faithful
and
diligent
in
his
Service
,
and
not
minding
themselves
and
their
own
Interests
.
4.
If
this
late
Revolution
was
of
God
,
and
he
saw
it
good
to
bring
it
about
,
for
the
further
carrying
on
of
his
Work
,
he
will
be
able
to
maintain
it
;
and
those
that
oppose
him
therein
,
shall
not
be
able
to
stand
before
him
.
They
may
bring
Ruin
upon
the
Nation
and
themselves
but
they
cannot
set
up
what
God
throws
down
,
nor
raise
up
any
thing
else
in
the
stead
of
it
according
to
their
wills
;
but
that
which
he
,
by
his
Providence
and
disposing
hand
,
appointeth
to
succeed
,
must
have
the
time
of
Trial
which
he
allotteth
it
.
Therefore
let
men
fear
the
Lord
God
,
whose
eye
is
upon
us
,
and
whose
power
is
over
us
;
and
let
us
take
heed
of
being
found
fighters
against
him
.
The
Cause
hath
long
lain
a bleeding
,
yet
there
is
at
length
a
true
reviving
of
it
;
and
those
whose
hearts
the
Lord
hath
stirred
up
to
seek
it
faithfully
,
the
Lord
will
be
with
them
,
and
he
is
ready
to
pardon
their
former
miscarriages
.
But
oh
that
they
could
lay
themselves
low
,
and
forget
their
own
interests
,
that
the
Cause
might
rise
up
clear
and
manifest
above
them
!
Remember
this
saying
,
O
ye
great
Ones
,
The
Lord
did
not
throw
down
the
former
greatness
of
the
Nobility
,
for
you
to
rise
up
in
their
places
;
but
ye
should
have
lain
low
,
and
remained
little
,
and
have
let
the
Lord
been
great
:
and
it
is
your
true
interest
to
descend
and
become
little
again
.
And
if
it
were
once
manifest
that
ye
did
not
seek
yourselves
,
but
the
Cause
of
God
,
the
good
of
his
People
,
and
of
the
Nation
,
that
every
part
and
sort
of
men
might
feel
their
oppressions
broken
,
and
their
just
Rights
and
Liberties
recovered
and
preserved
for
them
,
this
would
draw
the
hearts
of
all
the
honest
haerted
People
to
you
,
as
one
man
:
and
those
which
have
been
scattered
,
would
be
again
united
;
and
our
very
enemies
(
seeing
our
integrity
and
righteousness
,
and
true
reformation
by
the
wisdome
and
guidance
of
God
)
would
magnifie
that
Work
of
God
,
which
as
yet
cannot
but
be
a
reproach
.
Therefore
O
England
,
fear
before
the
Lord
,
and
wait
upon
him
,
and
let
thine
eye
be
taken
off
from
man
,
for
he
is
very
vanity
.
Neither
thy
good
nor
thy
harm
ariseth
this
way
,
but
out
of
thine
own
bowels
.
What
have
all
these
afflictions
done
towards
the
refining
of
thee
?
Art
not
thou
yet
what
thou
wast
?
O
England
wilt
thou
not
be
made
clean
!
when
shall
it
once
be
?
Murmur
not
against
the
Rods
,
wherewith
the
Lord
seeth
good
to
chastise
thee
;
but
mourn
over
thy
wickedness
,
thy
pride
,
thy
deceit
,
thy
excess
,
thy
cruelty
,
thy
oppression
,
thy
false
Worship
and
Idolatries
,
&c.
and
over
thy
enmity
against
that
which
is
of
God
,
where
ever
it
appears
.
At
the
beginning
of
these
troubles
,
thou
couldst
bear
with
no
Form
of
Worship
,
but
thine
own
.
Now
thou
art
come
thus
far
,
that
thou
canst
almost
bear
with
any
Form
.
Nay
but
that
will
not
serve
;
The
Lord
will
have
room
for
the
power
of
Godliness
,
and
he
will
not
alwayes
suffer
thee
to
smite
his
Servants
for
their
obedience
to
his
Spirit
.
This
is
his
controversie
with
thee
,
and
the
cause
of
all
thy
misery
(
when
misery
,
distress
,
and
ruin
have
opened
thine
eyes
,
thou
wilt
see
it
)
Oh
that
thy
day
of
calamity
,
might
pass
over
thee
!
If
thou
couldst
indeed
humble
thy self
before
the
Lord
,
and
not
walk
any
longer
thus
contrary
to
him
,
in
the
Work
which
he
is
resolved
to
bring
about
,
the
Lord
might
pity
and
spare
thee
,
for
he
delighteth
in
mercy
:
but
if
thou
continue
to
walk
contrary
to
him
,
and
wilt
be
setled
afore
his
time
,
and
in
a
way
,
and
by
such
means
as
he
approves
not
,
the
steps
of
his
power
against
thee
will
overturn
thee
.
Therefore
fear
,
and
be
humble
and
meek
before
him
,
for
therein
lies
the
wisdome
which
can
preserve
thee
;
but
strive
not
to
withstand
his
footsteps
,
least
he
trample
down
thy
crown
,
thy
strengh
,
thy
hopes
,
thy
peace
,
and
all
that
is
desirable
in
thine
eyes
.
This
is
in
tender
Love
,
as
a
gentle
Warning
to
you
,
that
you
may
take
heed
of
giving
way
to
that
fierce
spirit
,
which
is
the
forerunner
of
misery
and
desolation
.
From
him
who
is
a
dear
Lover
of
this
City
,
and
of
his
native
Country
