and chosen People, which are to build up a new Jerusalem. But I say
the founder on is layd in blood of Kings, and Subjects, and the builders
are deeper dy'd in murther then cursed Caine. Therefore though these
tyrannicall usurping Traytors have or doe prosper for a time, wee may
be ascertained that Go[unr] by the mouth of his Prophets spoke nothing but
truth, and in their Scriptures we find many Cominations of Judgements
upon. Murtherers, and blood-spillers, and how soone the divine 'Providence
will put them in execution : It is not for us to seeke into but
leave it to his Omnipotent well; who when hee pleases can convert or
con[unr]found his enemies, and raine Snares upon the workers of Iniquity,
and sweepe them from the face of the earth not leaving so much as a
