Who will bring me into the strong city who will lead me into Euom Wilt not thou O God who hast cast us off and wilt not thou O God go forth with our hosts Give us help from troubles for vaine is the help of man OXFORD Printed for H. Hall and W. Webb 1644. TO THE HIGH AND MOST ILLVSTRIOVS PRINCE CHARLES PRINCE OF WALES DUKE OF CORNEWALL and Earle of CHESTER SIR BEsides the Honour your Highnesse hath done the Truth by casting so early an eye upon Her though in the plainest dresse You have given a Happy Omen to this Nation that the True Religion which is now trampled under foot by Heresy and Schisme hath yet Messem in Herbâ and is Revirescent in your tender yeares As Theodosius the Emperour after the Apostolicall Faith had beene long buried by the Arians Soc. Eccl. hist l. 5 〈◊〉 6. erected a Church in Constantinople and christened it 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the Resurrection So by your timely Patronage of the Truth You have raised our Hopes into a Confidence that we shall yet see a Resurrection when the Kings Crowne shall rise the Brighter out of these Flames and the Dry bones of Learning and Religion live and stand in Your sight For by commanding this Sermon to the presse Though I must say to Your Highnesse as Tully to Brutus Quamvis Placebam nihil feci quod placeret It being like Martial's Fly of no Worth in it selfe but onely for the Amber and Grace You have cast about it You have already insome part They have made lyes their refuge and under falshood hid themselves Isai 28.15 not onely vindicated the Kings Honour and Your owne Spotlesse Innocency from the Blasphemies of those who have made Lyes a refuge For he that pleaseth to read may here behold the liberty and boldnesse we are still allowed against the Romanists Even in the presence of our King His Posterity and the whole Counsell But also confirmed the Faith of this Kingdome that according to the Vnparallel'd Example of Your Royall Father you will be a Constant Defender of the Protestant Faith you have received from a Religious Education To the glory of God the future Tranquillity of these Kingdomes and your owne Immortall Honour which is the prayer of Your HIGHNESSE Truly devoted but most humble Servant RICHARD HARWOOD King DAVIDS Sanctuary PSAL. 73.25 VVhom have I in Heaven but thee O Lord and there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee AMong the bookes of Canonicall Scripture there is but one stiled the booke of the Preacher not as if our doctrine should all be confin'd to Ecclesiastes Proloq in Ecclesiast but as Gregory Nyssen 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 c. because it is a choice Tract of Ecclesiasticall policy and no Text more fit for the Preachers study or the Peoples practice then the vanity of the creature the immortality of the creatour For since the soule of man is restlesse unquiet out of its center and the whole world is but a wide circumference since like the needle in the compasse she hath a naturall trembling to the fruition of happinesse and this temporall as Basil truly Basil in Psal 61. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 steales along by it as an impetuous streame rowles by the bankes and who can aime steedily at a moving marke The Prophet here is a true Ecelesiastes if he draw you a right line to the immoveable center and direct the quaking soule to its true pole God himselfe For having coasted the whole world in his thoughts for a resting place with Noahs Dove he returnes again into the Arke with this Olive branch in his mouth Non est Mortale quod opto He findes no sanctuary but in heaven no safe repose but in the Almighty Whom have I in Heaven but thee O Lord and there is none upon Earth that I desire besides thee In this verse King David seemes to be placed as Augustus once fancyed himselfe inter suspiria lachrimas betweene sighes and teares yet he looks cheerefully up to Heaven fetching comfort thence in the full assurance of the divine favour And because 't is musicall I shall once more crave leave to follow the allegory please you to observe The Disposition of the parts And Opposition of the notes in both First The Disposition of the parts and those are Acutum and grave High and Low High in a passionate expostulation Whom have I in Heaven but thee O Lord Low in a deliberate resolution There is none upon Earth that I desire besides thee I. In the expostulation you have 3 notes 1. Quem in coelis Whom in Heaven whilest others lay up their treasures on earth in heaven my exchecquer in heaven my treasury 2. Quem praeter te Whom have I there but thee O Lord God alone is a Christians portion he is truely possessed of nothing but the Deity 3. Quis mihi according to the hebrew 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 who is for me who pleades my cause in heaven not any Saint or Angell but thou O Lord thou art my redeemer thou my advocate which makes the question past all question I have none in heaven but thee O Lord. II. The resolution There is none that I desire on Earth besides thee Et tecum non 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 The negation is Personall no man for his favour Reall no creature for its excellency that I desire with thee the treasures of the earth are but guilded poverty the favour of a Prince but a gratious snare without thee give me thy blessed selfe and what can this earth adde to my happinesse that I may in the next live for ever with thee Lord let me never live in the present world without thee For non est in terris there is nothing on earth that I desire but thee Secondly The Opposition or distinction of the notes in both parts For as Synesius in his panegyricall oration 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in their discord is a most sweet harmony The opposition appeares 1.
