But when all this shall fail (as God forbid a title of it should) _I_ have yet this hope remaining; that when you have been sufficiently fated with this wicked course, wandred from place to place, government to government, sect to sect, in so universal a deluge, and find no repose for the sole of your foot (as it is certain you never shal) you with at last with the peaceful _Dove_, return to the Arke from whence you fled, to your first principles, and to sober counsels; or with the repenting _Prodigall_ in the Gospel, to _your Father_ which is in heaven, and to the _Father of your Countrey_: For in so doing, you shall not only rejoyce your servant, and all good men, but the very _Angels_ which are in heaven, and who are never said to rejoyce indeed, but _at the Conversion of a sinner_. _This 27. Octob. 1659_ _Et tu conversus, converte Fratres._ PSAL. 37. _10. Yet a little while, and the ungodly shall be clean gone, thou shalt look after his place, and he shall be away._ _36. I my self have seen the ungodly in great power, and flourishing like a green Bay-tree._ _37. I went by, and lo he was gone; I sought him, but his place could no where be found._ _38. Keep innocency, and take heed unto the thing that is right: For that shall bring a Man peace at the last._ * * * * * I request the _Reader_ to take notice, that where, mentioning the _Presbyterian_, I have let fall expressions, somewhat relishing of more then usuall asperity; I do by no means intend it to the prejudice of many of that Judgment, who were either men of peaceable spirits from the beginning; or that have of late given testimony of the sense of their errour, whilst they were abused by those specious pretences I have reproved; but I do regard them with as much charity and affection, as becomes a sincere Christian, and their Brother. * * * * * FINIS. * * * * * A P A N E G Y R I C TO Charles the Second, PRESENTED TO HIS MAJESTIE The [HW: 1st X crossed out]XXXIII. of _APRIL_, being the Day OF HIS CORONATION.
