It may let you see, Right Honourable and Beloved, how well this mourning praying posture into which you have cast your selves this day becomes you, and how fit it is, that though the whole body of this people cannot upon so short a warning (and some it may be will not) yet that You who are to England as the Elders were to Israel, the Governours and Representers of the whole Nation, should for your selves and for the Nation whom you represent, in this solemne manner to testifie your humble and deepe sence of the hand of God upon his people in that disaster that hath befallen our Army in the West. God hath smitten our Army; shall not we smite our hearts? our Army is broken: will not a broken heart now become us? Our Forces are brought low; shall not we endeavour that our hearts may be so too? If her father had spit in her face (saith God to Moses concerning Miriam, Num. 12.15.) should she not be ashamed seven dayes? รด how many dayes would it become us to beare the shame of that rebuke that God hath given us. |

God hath smitten our Army; shall not we smite our hearts? our Army is broken: will not a broken heart now become us? Our Forces Are brought low; shall not we endeavour that our hearts may be so too? If her father had spit in her face (Says God to Moses Concerning Miriam, Num. 12.15.) should she not be ashamed seven days? o how many days would it become us to bear the shame of that rebuke that God hath given us. |
