The Justice of Peace which resolves to be serious and real to do his Country good indeed, and to discharge a good conscience undauntedly without all fear or faction, and looks upon blasphemers, drunkards, whore-masters, railers against Religion, &c. as the North wind upon rain, &c.

I say such as these, and in a word, all who deal uprightly, and rule in the fear of GOD, have need of a Rock, against the rage of all ungodly oppositions. And such a Rock will the GOD of Israel be unto them all; that set against them, shall set their shoulders against a Rock; all their cunning and close projects, and open base practises of all profane opposites and underminers; the plausible, politic tyrannise of those that sit in the gate, all the scurrile, dunghill rimes and railings of deboist Belial drunken jesters. All that man or Devil can any ways do against them, shall all be but like so many proud and swelling waves, which dash themselves against a strong impregnable rock, which the more boisterously they beat against it, the more desperately are they dissolved, and broken into a vain sonne or froth.
