Mr. Edmund Calamy in his Sermon before the House of Peers, June 15. 1643. on Joshua 24. 15.

REligion is that which is pretended on all hands, The defence of the Protestant Religion, this news we hear daily from Oxford, and for this purpose there is an Army of Papists to defend Protestant Religion, just as the Gun-powder Treason, that would have blown up the Parla∣ment for the good of the Catholike Religion. Pag. 24.

Few Noblemen and Gentlemen appear on the Parlament side, not many mighty, not many Noble, thus it was in Christs time, the great men and great Scholars crucified Christ. Pag. 30.

The Cause you mannage, is the Cause of God, the glory of God is embark'd in the same Ship in which this cause is, and you may lawfully say as Joshua does, Josh. 7. 9. What wilt thou do unto thy great name? and Numb. 14. 15, 16. And as Joshua said to Israel, Numb. 14. 7. So doth God to you, fear not, fear not, the people of the land, for they are bread for us, their defence is departed from them, and the Lord is with us, fear them not. Pag. 53.

I may say without uncharitableness, you have the major part of Gods people on your side. Pag. 55.

He that dies fighting the Lords battel, dies a Martyr. Pag. 57.
