Before the Lords Justices and the rest of His Majesties most Honourable Privie Councell his Majesties Commanders and Souldiers for that present service By Edward Dunstervill Batchelour of Divinitie Opus unius Diei Now published by Command of the House of PARLIAMENT London Printed for Richard Badger 1642. A SERMON Preached at the Funerall of Sir SIMON HARCOURT COLONEL in IRELAND 2 Chron. 35.23 24. And the Archers shot at King Iosiah and the King said to his servants have me away for I am sore wounded His servants therefore took him out of that Chariot and put him in the second Chariot that he had and they brought him to Ierusalem and hee dyed and was buried in the Sepulchre of his Fathers and all Iudah and Ierusalem mourned for Iosiah I Have this day upon this most sad occasion two sable subjects to treat on one in the Text the other out of the Text the first is of slaine Iosiah a godly Prince the second is of this slaine Colonell a ●odly subject which two valiant worthies as they agreed in most things in the manner of their life so did they also in the manner of their untimely timely death * Mutato nomine de illo fabula For Iosiah was shot in the field by an enemy and so was he Iosiah was thereby sorely wounded and God knows so was he Iosiah was then carryed of in a Chariot by his servants so was he by his servants and sad Officers Iosiah dyed of the stroake and so did he Iosiah had the blessing to be buried in Ierusalem and so hath hee in this Citie in a word Iosiah was much lamented both in Ierusalem and Iudah and so will he be of all Gods servants and Loyall Subjects in the severall Kingdomes of his Majesties Dominion Give me leave to speak of the latter Subject first if it be but to ease my owne present sad thoughts for him Omitting to say any thing of his worthy descent of his goodly education his matching into an honourable family of his high Command and how famously he hath behav'd himselfe in forraigne services To begin with him at home 1. Hee was one who had an honourable repute in his and our Nation with the most honourable there of a prudent faithfull and choyce Warrior which may appeare by His Majesties and the Honourable Parliaments joynt Election of him for this our great service 2. He was one who from a Child was imployed in the Military service of our faith and not affected as some with glorious weares yet which is honourable indeed one that bore in his body Martyr-like the markes of Christ Iesus having beene before this his last two severall times sore wounded in two severall services at Mastrichte and Kinsconce 3. And in a word which is the best of his renowne the diamond in his gold he was godly honest temperate and faithfull as well to God and his Conscience as to His King and Country Durst I presume to inlarge my selfe further than my limited time I could tell you rare things of his devotion of his frequency in private prayer of his godly exercise with his Family of his diligence in reading the Scripture and other holy bookes Seldome as I received from diverse of those best acquainted with him did he come alone to his Chamber but immediately for the most part he addrest him selfe to the Bible or some other good booke a sure argument that he had his delight in the Law of the Lord and therefore in a blessed condition In the time of my short acquaintance with him I had in private a bundell of such sweet holy divine expressions from him which with out trespassing on my Conscience I may say then filled my soule with ravishment of joy as it is now with sorrow that God should be so gracious unto this distressed land to send us in this needfull time a leader of his people one as well vertuous as valorous one that was both a Ioshuah and a Iosiah and indeed such a worthy of whom we in this sinfull kingdome were not worthy It is worth recording that immediately before his fore stroke he was reproving a Souldier for swearing demanding what if God had taken him away with that oath in his mouth After being himselfe stricken and deeming his wound to be mortall hee with great willingnesse and patient mildnesse submitted himselfe to the LORDS will and to my knowledge so continued unto the end It is true hee lay the after night and many houres the next day in a constant torture of unutterable griefs which could not but trouble each beholder and yet in all the time of my being with him I never heard one impatient passage from him but comforting himselfe that it was in Gods cause he suffered saying to me had it not beene his cause he would never have come over hither on the service and in a word passing by many devout passages as long as his weary spirits had any vigour he scarce ever ceased sending forth with great comfort and confidence most strong cryes prayers and as one supposing every breath to be his last would frequently end his requests with that sweet dying saying of Saint Steven Lord into thy hands I give my spirit and in the end with the breathing out of our prayers for his salvation he gave up the Ghost So that howsoever his sore wounded dead and bloud-died body is here with us to be inter'd in the dust yet am I confident that his pure bathed soule is with the soule of Iosiah with the soules of the blessed Martyrs and of the just men made perfect in the presence of Iesus Christ Heb. 12.23 Isa 53.5 who was sore wounded for his transgressions bruised and slaine for his sinnes where he is triumphantly rejoycing like a great Conqueror where he is made of a godly subject and valiant Souldier on earth a most glorious happy and immortall King in Heaven For blessed and holy is hee who hath part in the first Resurrection On him the second death shall have no power but they shall bee Priests of God and of CHRIST and shall Reigne with him a thousand yeares Rev. 20.6 And thus much of the first thing proposed in this Treatise the subject out of the Text to wit the tragicallstory of this slaine Christian Colonell I proceed to speake of the second thing of the subject in the Text which is a like tragicall to wit of the fatall death of that godly valiant King Iosiah And the Archers shot at King Josiah and the King said have me away for I am sore wounded c. Least I should trespasse my commands which is to bee briefe I have hence cull'd out two particulars only to
