Seismos megas. Or Heaven & earth shaken. A treatise shewing how kings, princes, and their governments are turned and changed by Jesus Christ as [brace] King of Kings, and King of Saints. / By John Davis, M.A. sometime lecturer at Christ Church in London, and now pastour of a congregation in Dover.

Sect. VIII.

Some of the Kings of the Earth shall be among this willing people. Oh wonderful! wonderful! Kings to become subjects, to be among the people, and the willing peo∣ple, whom aforetime they most hated; that is strange, that those who were the greatest enemies, should now become friends; that those who have done so much against Christ, shall now be active for him. God had of old his David, He∣zekiah, Jehosaphat, Asa, and Josiah, good and godly Kings, and he will have some like them again; outward pomps and pleasures shall be no let to his call and working on them, and by them.

Isa. 49. 7. Thus saith the Lord the Re∣deemer of Israel, and his holy One; Kings shall see and arise, Princes also shall worship because of the Lord that is faithful, and the holy One of Israel, and he shall chuse thee.

Isa. 30. 21. Their Nobles shall be of them∣selves, and their Governours shall proceed from the midst of them; He will restore their Judges as at the first, and their Counsellers as at the beginning; afterward thou shalt be called the City of righteousnesse, the faithful City.

Isa. 49. 23. Kings shall be thy Nursing fathers, and Queens or Princesses thy Nur∣sing mothers. Those who have been the

persecutors, shall be the preservers; the destroyers shall prove nourishers; those that did minde nothing but their pride, and pleasure, they shall now minde the Church and her interest; They that made the people of God bow down till they passed over them, they shall come, and bow down to the Church with their faces toward the earth.

Isa. 60. 16. The Prophet there speaking of the state of the Jewish Church, after their general conversion to Christ, promi∣seth: Thou shalt also sucke the milke of the Gentiles; that now accursed people of the Jews shall become blessed; they are still beloved for their father sake, v. 10. They shall suck the breasts of Kings; none have been and are so squeezed in all parts of the World where they are scattered, as the poor Jews are; who, although they enjoy an Old-Testament blessing, and become rich where they live; yet then those who rule over them use them as we do a spunge that is full, wring it dry: So are they dealt withal; but now those that sucked from them, shall give sucke to them; yea, the sonnes of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their Kings shall minister unto thee; for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I mercy on thee.
