God hath poured out contempt upon us; the Lord make us sensible of it: unspeakable contempt upon the Parliament: ⟨p. 30⟩Contempt upon the faithful Ministry of the Land: Contempt upon the City: Contempt upon the whole Kingdom: England once not only a terror among the Nations, but the glory of all the Churches; now the shame of Christendom and the scorn of all the world: 1It was one of the fore runners of old Israels rejection and divorce.
