A sermon preached before the honourable House of Commons, at their late solemne monethly fast, Januarie 29th. 1644 : wherein these foure necessary considerations are plainly proved and demonstrated out of the holy Scriptures, viz. I. The bands of the brethren in iniquity, the pernicious brambles, the plague and curse of a land and kingdome. 2. All the brethren in these bands, sharpe pricks of the cursed bramble, sharers in the sinne, and subject to the destruction thereof. 3 The righteous kept by God from the full sense and feeling of the mischiefe which they are sharpely set, and cruelly bent to bring upon them. 4. The terrible, sudden, and totall destruction of the bramble, and every hurtfull prick thereof, by Gods dreadfull storme. By George Walker, batchelor of Divinity, pastor of Iohn Evangelists, London, and one of the Assembly of Divines. Published by order of the House of Commons.
