  The Christian champion being the substance of a second discourse to the besieged soldiers in London-derry ... / by Col. W----.

summary:
  THIS is an Exhortation given from the Word of God , and if we would be happy we must be Holy ; we trust not only to an Arm of Flesh , but to the gracious dealing of a powerfull God , whose All-seeing Eye is over all our Actions ; and put case we sin against him , How can we then expect a Blessing from him , who is of purer Eyes than to behold Iniquity with Approbation ? therefore let no Evil attend our Actions , we are here Besieged with Enemies who studies the Overthrow of the People of God , and would likewise Triumph over our Destruction , but keep close to your Duty in the Service of the Living God , then will he prove your Protectour , Psalm 84. 11. How many signal Mercies have we been partakers off in our successfull Sallies against our Enemies ? And shall we now despair of God's Mercies ( no , no , ) he is able to Deliver us at the last moment , when we seem to stand tottering on the brink of utter Ruine ; nothing is impossible with our great Creator ; nothing can seperate us from the Love of God but our Sins ; therefore let us make War against our corrupt Nature ; let us destroy those Sins which makes us Enemies to God ; for , What is our Sighs , our Tears , and Prayers , if we still continue to hug our Darling Sins ? for , as the Psalmist saith , If I regard Iniquity in my heart the Lord will not hear me ; therefore let us be sincere in what we profess , and not to go from Praying to our Pollutions , or from hearing the Word of God to the breach of his Commandments ; he in his Holy Word hath afforded us many gracious Promises to support our Spirits in the greatest Troubles and Tryalls ; therefore be of good comfort , and lay hold on the Promises of God by Faith.

summary:
  This sudden Resolution of the Relief going back , amazed the Town , and especially those who knew nothing of the Design , and the Town being in a good condition , both as to Provision and a considerable Army both of Horse and Foot in it , sent three several Messengers to Col. Cunningham and Richards , That if they would accept of the Garrison , and secure it for Their present Majesties , what Horse and Foot were in Town , would take the Field , and leave the Town to themselves , ( for in that time they were in a condition to do it , but they returned no Answer , nor did the Messengers return ever since , While Col. Cunningham and Richards were in the Logh , the late King James marched all his Forces within a small way of London-Derry , and thought to get the Garrison without the least opposition ; but upon his approach , the Townsmen gave him a warm Salute with their great Guns , and kill'd Three of his Horse with a Cannon-Ball ; which put a stop to his Career . The little Town of Iniskilling being situated in an Island in a great Lake , so that there was no access but by water , the Inhabitants thereof did no less gallantly secure that place , opposing two Foot-Companies which were sent by the Earl of Tyrconnel to secure that Garrison , looking on it as a most advantageous place bordering on Connaght ; but not timing his Intrigue well , the Inhabitants of Iniskilling never suffered these two Companies to come nearer than two miles of the Town , and so sent them back again with as much shame as the Earl of Antrim's Regiment left Londonderry , and very soon after the said Town of Iniskilling declared for the Prince of Orange ( the now King ) and the Protestant Religion , and have very gallantly ever since defended that place with great Courage and Zeal ,

  This day my Lord Strabane came up to our Walls , makeing us many Proposals , and offering his Kings Pardon , Protection and Favour , if we would surrender Town ; but these fine words had no place with the Garrison . Among the Bombs thrown into Town , there was one dead Shell , in which was a Letter declaring to the Souldiers the Proposals made by the Lieutenant General ; for they imagined them Strangers to their Condescensions , and that their Officers wou'd not communicate such things to them .
