It might feeme long, though it were but Ihort, becaufe
the fufferings under it were Very ﬂiarpe, but indeed the
whole time ofleremia'la: Prophecying ( which was about
forty one yeares) Was a time of great tribulation, by-
' warr-like Commotions and miferies under the raignes of . ~ ,
Ioﬁab, 2 Kinga 3. Ielzojzz/tim and Zea'ec/yia/y Kings of 114'-
dab, 2 Kihg.24; in whole dayes Ieruﬁlem was, beﬁeged by
the Bdbjloniam, from the tenth day of the tenth month (in
the ninth yeare of his raigne) to the ninth day 'of the
fourth month, in the eleventh yeare of it, 2 Kzng. 25.r.
Upon that,. followed the delolation of the Temple, and
City in the 3 365 .. yeare ofthe-wc'n‘ld', and ﬁx hundred and
ﬁx yeares before‘the Incarnation of Chriﬂ: ; and if he re—
counted all the c'al'amities of war're in his time, he might
very well enquire oftheir continuance, How long ?'
The (nation brought’in by fuch a pafi’ionate' Preface
( asyou have heard out ofmr.19.. 8t 20.) will guide our
thoughts, to a conﬁderation of the tail! of warre, which
made the Prophet tobe fo mournfuﬂ for it, and‘fo weary
of it. And for thatevill (though in many places of the
Kingdome) too many feel‘e too much of it by reall dii-
*ﬂreffe : It will not be needleﬂe to fay fomewhat of it, by
way of verba'll difcourfc, that we. may have fuch a compen-

- Thirdly, Forthofe that‘allow warre to the lam: and
deny ittto the. Chriﬁians underthexGofpell', they may be
refuted.

Firﬂ, By the example of the Centurion, Math}. who

by his-owne authority, and command over Souldiers, il'-—
lullrated thepower of Chril’t over the creatures, in fuch
fort, as that-our Saviour, (without any touch of re roach)
to his profeﬂion, gavethis praife of his faith, I we not
found/b greatfait/y, no not m Ilrael, ero. And of Car-
- 'neliw (the Centurion-ofthe Italian band) the teﬂimony
(given by the H01 Ghoﬁ ) is, That he ma. a devout man;
on: t/mt feared Go nut/1 all Ink boufe, wbogzwe mac/2 dimes

his Military calling is made no- exception to his great
commendation,becaufe it gave noimpediment to his holy
converfationt. '

Secondly, When in the third of'Lulr'e, the Souldiers
(with ochers)came to lab» Baptg'ﬂ, as Difciples to a'MaRer
to be inﬂrutled, what to doe, he returned them this an-
{iwer : Doe animate-mam», neither arm/é any man falfely,

quire a renunciation of their military profelﬁon, but it. is
mo'be underﬂoo‘d of private or irregular violence, and not
offuch fOrce as isexercifed according to the rule and dilti»
:pline of wane, but the laft part of his advice, (which bid»

:Jdeth them‘to be content with their wages) alloweth them ,

{112111 meete with them againe before we part.

Thirdly, The Miieri’es andMi-fchiefes of Warre, being
fuch as have been Ihewed, it cannor but well become:
every 00:1 and wifeman to ﬂlCW himfelfe difaffeéted to-
fu, an much troubled'for it, as wellas by it. So did the'
Prophet (when he bewailedathecondition of his time by
the opprel‘ﬁon and delolationof Warre, as out ofthis.
Chapter I have toldlyou ) and to doe all good ofﬁces they
can to promorepeace, as the Parliament by their many
humble and preﬂingPetitions, and other rudent addrell
ﬁts to his Majeﬁy, have indeavoured to oe: yet {0 (as.
well became their piety and prudence) as to deﬁre no

 

peace but fuch anone, as whofOever. treats of it admits of '

God to be of the .Quomm in it,. and ( inballacing the con-
ditions on bOth (ides) will; fuffer his glory and the con--
fcionab’le difchar e of their truﬂ (to the King and King—-
dome ) to make dgowne weight in the ﬁnal! determination;
thereof: againft which an"a reement would prove but 3;.
confpiracie, for betraying o trufl. But for apeace upon
ﬁrth tearmes as thofe we now mentioned, that Engli/bmzm:
who would ,nOt like Iona/2 ( when to appeaie a tempeit and
fave aShip fromiplitting, he was content to be caft into-
and fwallowed up of the Sea, 1021.142.) willingly lay
downe his life, is nor-worth to live.

And the more zealous ould every one be of making
up the breach of (peace, by how much more worthy
they are who are ivided', and betwixr whom the 'neereﬂ:
Union that-can be, isrequired, if there were but a ﬁngle
feperation, of a paire of excellent Friends, we lhould.
