Englands second alarm to vvar, against the Beast. Saul, with his Edomite has shed blood to his power; he smites Israels city, and destroyes his owne house; overcame his people once, and overthrew himselfe for ever! It relates to what is done now. Grave questions touching the Edomite; his admission to court, and into office there; how it relates to papists now. He has a commission to destroy a city of priests, which he does with an utter destruction. Excellent reasons why the Lord suffered such a destruction to be executed upon Israel then; and why he suffers the same now; and why by an Edomites hand then and now.

• ENGLANDS ALARM TO VVar, against the Beast.
  • SECT. II. THe Edomite is Sauls Scout now, and his Generall in the Field anon: Davids enemy alwaies, The Priests accuser; but can charge him with no more but what was his office to do, therefore not so impudent as are the Edomites in our dayes: Saul impleads the Priest; gives him leave to make answer for himselfe, which he doth clearly and fully; and then is destroy∣ed, he, and a City of Priests, man, woman, and childe there, and beast also. This relates fully to our times. Quaeries touching the Edomite. Sauls taking him into his Court, assigning him to office there, and giving him commission to smite a City of Priests. Quaeries touching that miserable destruction. Gods judgements secret, but just and righteous upon Ireland, and England. Yet the mischiefe done by man shall returne upon his owne head, and his violent dealing upon his owne pate.
    • CHAP. I. David comes to Nob; Doeg spies him there; hastens to Saul, tels him all his observations, yet can lay nothing to the Priests charge, but what was the Priests duty to doe. Doeg tels truth, yet loved ly∣ing. The Edomites now, more shamelesse.
    • CHAP. II. Saul impleads Abimelech; he makes answer for himselfe, which clears the case of all the righteous now, and the great case now in question. Saul is not satisfied with reason, but, notwithstanding reason and Law both, command also from Gods mouth for what Abimelech did, Saul slayeth Abimelech, and destroy's the City of Priests.
    • CHAP. 3. The Priests Arraignment, impleadings, and Answers run-up pae∣rallell with ours in these times, so does the upshot or determination of the businesse; for there was Peace in proposition, but none in conclu∣sion betwixt Saul and David. So here. Saul has shed blood, which runs-up to these times too, but with a fuller stream of bloods: yet the voice of Blood cryes louder, then does the voice of Bloods.
    • CHAP. 4. Quaeries touching the Edomite, whether by the knowne Lawes of Israels Kingdome, Saul might entertaine him in his Court; grant him a Commission to smite a City of Priests; whether any reason for that; whether single or plurall; and whether by any possible meanes an Edomite may be made serviceable to Israel; How it relates to the present, exemplifying the History of our Time.
    • CHAP. 5. Sad Cases examined and tryed before the Lord, and resolved from His Mouth; which may silence a Poore People, slaine all the day long by the hurtfull and oppressing Sword, now in the hand of bloody Edomites.
    • CHAP. 6. Weighty Reasons, Why The LORD suffers the Edomites to lay wast Israels Land; how it Relates to this time. If Wolves had not beene grievous to our Land, they had not been destroyed out of the Land.
