Episcopal Admonition BY THE Right Reverend Father in God , Dr. Joseph Hall , Late Lord Bishop of EXETER , Sent in a LETTER to the House of Commons , April 28. 1628. Gentlemen ,

FOR God's Sake be wise in your well meant Zeal : Why do you argue away pretious Time that can never be revoked or repaired ? Wo is me , while we dispute our Friends perish , and we must follow them ; Where are we , if we break ( and I tremble to think ) we cannot but break if we hold so stiff . Our Liberties and Proprieties are sufficiently declared to be sure and legal ; our Remedies are clear and irrefragable : What do we fear ? Every Subject sees the way now chalked out for future Justice , and who dares henceforth tread besides it ? Certainly , while Parliaments live , we need not misdoubt the Violations of our Freedoms and Rights : May we be but where the Law found us , we shall sufficiently enjoy our selves and ours ; It is no season to search for more : Oh let us not whilst we over-rigidly plead for an higher strain of Safety , put our selves into a necessity of Ruine and utter despair of Redress . Let us not in the suspitions of Evils that may be , cast our selves into a present Confusion . If you love your selves and your Country , remit something of your own Terms ; and since the substance is yielded by your Noble Patriots , stand not too vigorously upon points of Circumstance . Fear not to trust a good King , who after the strict Laws made , must be trusted with the Execution . Think that your Country , nay , and Christendome , lies on the mercy of your present Resolutions . Relent , or farewel Welfare .

From him whose faithful Heart bleeds in a vowed Sacrifice for his King and Country , EXETER .

LONDON , Printed for C. G. 1681.
