Men warned to examine the ground of their religion; or, false foundations removed, and the true one pointed out; a sermon: preached in the cathedral church, Norwich, on Sunday, October 17th, 1790. By W. Hurn, Vicar of Debenham, and Chaplain to Her Grace the Duchess Dowager of Chandos. Published by Particular Desire. If the Foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? Ps. xi. 3. Except the Lord Build the House, they labour in vain that build it. Ps. cxxvii. 1. Nevertheless the Foundation of God standeth Sure. 2 Tim. ii. 19. The Name of the Lord is a strong Tower: the righteous runneth into it and is Safe. Prov. xviii. 10. Through wisdom is an House Builded; and by understanding it is Established: and by knowledge shall the Chambers be Filled with all precious and pleasant riches. Prov. xxiv. 3, 4. Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings: for the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but my Righteousness shall be for Ever, and my Salvation from Generation to Genetaiton. Is. li. 7, 8.

Sad and lamentable newes from Holland : Being a true relation of the great and wonderful inundation of waters, that brake in at the town of Gorkham, in the night-time, near the city of Amsterdam, where many stately houses became bnried [sic] in the violent waves; both men, vvomen and children perishing in the raging billows. Also, the manner how the waters brake in again with great violence, on Munday last about noon, at the two strong sluces of Bonmel and Thieler, where about thirty villages were drowned and not any thing to be seen, but the tops of some few steeples and chimneys, many perishing in the vvaters; some escaping in boats, and the poor infants floating upon the raging vvaves in their swadling-bands and cradles together with the sad and wofull cries and groans of the poor distressed inhabitants; and the ringing of the bells backward, to prevent the perishing of others.

Cynara cardunculus L. Asteraceae. Cardoon, Globe Artichoke, Artechokes, Scolymos cinara, Cynara, Cinara. Distribution: Southern Europe and North Africa. Lyte (1576) writes that Dodoens (1552) could find no medical use for them and Galen (c.200 AD) said they were indigestible unless cooked. However he relates that other authors recommend that if the flower heads are soaked in strong wine, they 'provoke urine and stir up lust in the body.' More prosaically, the roots boiled in wine and drunk it cause the urine to be 'stinking' and so cures smelly armpits. He adds that it strengthens the stomach so causing women to conceive Male children. He goes on to say that the young shoots boiled in broth also stir up lust in men and women, and more besides. Lyte (1576) was translating, I think with elaborations, from the chapter on Scolymos cinara, Artichaut, in Dodoen's Croydeboeck (1552) as L'Ecluse's French translation (1575) does not mention these latter uses, but Dodoen's own Latin translation, the Pemptades(1583), and Gerard's (1633) both do so. It is useful in understanding the history of these translations to realise that Gerard uses, almost verbatim, the translation of the 'smelly armpit' paragraph from Lyte. Photographed in the Medicinal Garden of the Royal College of Physicians, London.

A golden key to open hidden treasures, or several great points, that refer to the saints present blessedness, and their future happiness, with the resolution of several important questions. Also, the active and passive obedience of Christ vindicated and improved; against men of corrupt minds, &c. who boldly, in pulpit and press contend against those glorious truths of the gospel. To which is added, Eleven serious singular Pleas, that all sincere Christians may safely and groundedly make, to those ten scriptures in the Old and New Testament, that speak of the general judgment, and of that particular judgment, that must certainly pass upon them all immediately after death. The Godhead and manhood of Christ, is here largely proved, and improved against all gainsayers, by what names and titles soever they are distinguished and known among us. Several things concerning hell, and hellish torments, opened, cleared and improved against all Atheists, and all others that boldly assert, that there is no hell, but what is in us. Some other points of importance are here cleared and opened, which other authors (so far as the author hath read) have passed over them in great silence, all tending to the confirmation of the strong, and support, peace, comfort, settlement and satisfaction of poor, weak, doubting, trembling, staggering Christians. By Thomas Brooks, Late Preacher of the Gospel, at Margarets-New-Fish-Street.
