  The Lord has Hornets to buz and sting Terrors into those whom we may be too much terrified withal . And Gratify not any Corruption upon such a score ; for God will Reward your Fidelity : Said he in Matth. 19.27 . But the Reasons that produc'd my Labour in Preaching , which were , my Desire to save the Souls , and mend the Lives , and promote the Edification of those , for whom my Hearts Desire and Prayer to God , is , That they may be Happy ; and my Ambition to Encounter and Abolish what I can , the Unchristian Temper of those who take advantage from the other Difficulties and Entanglements of the Country , to refuse doing their part in carrying on the Indian War ; the same Reasons have procur'd my Consent to Printing of this Little Sermon .

  A sermon preached in London before the right honorable the Lord Lavvarre, Lord Gouernour and Captaine Generall of Virginea, and others of his Maiesties Counsell for that kingdome, and the rest of the aduenturers in that plantation At the said Lord Generall his leaue taking of England his natiue countrey, and departure for Virginea, Febr. 21. 1609. By W. Crashaw Bachelar of Diuinitie, and preacher at the Temple. Wherein both the lawfulnesse of that action is maintained, and the necessity thereof is also demonstrated, not so much out of the grounds of policie, as of humanity, equity, and Christianity. Taken from his mouth, and published by direction.

summary:
  But thus God can and will doe , that men may see it , and seeing may haue cause to say : A Domino factum est istuc ; This is not mans power nor wit , but , this is the Lords doing , and it is maruellous in our eyes . And this I say was done by Gods perswasion ; for what man can be perswaded by a man to vndertake a matter of such a nature as this is ? nay we dare say , that all who are go ne thither , vnlesse they were misled by some sinister perswasions of their owne apprehensions , haue gone onely vpon the powerfull perswasion of Gods spirit to their consciences : for who should perswade hereunto , but either God or the diuell , or men , or a mans owne reason ?
