Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Britain´s Remembrancer, Vol. 1 The meaning of the Title page. Behold; and marke ;and mind, ye British Nations, This dreadfull vision of my Contemplations. Before the Throne of Heav´n, J saw, me thought, This famous Island into question brought. With better eares then those my Body beare, I heard impartiall Ivstice to declare God´s Benefits, our Thanklessness, and what Small heed, his Love, or Iudgements here begat. I view´d eternall Mercie, how she strove God´s just deserved Vengeance to remove. But, so encreast our Sinnes, and cry´d so loud, That, at the last, I saw a dismall Cloud Exceeding blacke, as from the Sea ascending, And over all this Isle it selfe extending: With such thicke foggie Vapours, that their sleames Seem´d, for a while, to darken Mercies beames. Within this fearfull Cloud, I did behold All Plagues and Punishments, that name I could. And with a trembling heart, 1 fear´d each houre, God would that Tempest on this Island poure. Yet, better hopes appear´d: for, loe, the Rayes Of Mercy pierc´d this Cloud, & made such waies Quite through those Exhalations, that mine eye Did this Inscription, thereupon espie; (said, Britaine´s Remembrancer: &, somewhat These words (me thought) The Storme is, yet, delaid, And if ye doe not penitence defer, This Clovd is only, a Remembrancer. But, if ye still affect impiety, Expect, e´re long, what this may signifie. This having heard and seene, J thought, nor fit Nor sase it were, for me to smother it: And, therefore, both to others eyes, and eares, Have offred, here, what unto mine appeares. Iudge as ye please, ye Readers, this, or me: Truth will be Truth, how e´re it censur´d be, Geo: Wither. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
