the excellencie of praier it is a remembring of our best friend whose remembrance is comfortable to our distressed soules The subiect of our memoris haue beene along time commodities pleasures riches honor triumphs therfore ô England behold another subiect to exercise the art of thy memory If then we haue forgotten him by our feruent prayer in our sin let vs now remember him by our feruent praier in our affliction Many haue practised the art of memorie according to the memoratiue Art and precepts of memorie which appoint places and their furniture for the helpe of such as are vnexperienced but let vs practise the art of this holy memorie let God be the subiect in this our afflictiō let these be our helpes First let vs remember in our praier the commandement of God Psal 50. Secondly the name of him whom we call vpon that it is Iehouah Lord our God a God not in shew but in substance and performance a strong God a towre of defence they that know this name wil trust in him Psal 9.10 Thirdly what he is by nature how sweet and amiable how rich in mercie Eph. 2. Fourthly what he is by promise how faithfull and true 2. Tim. 1.3 Lastly what he is by couenant made vnto Abrahams seed not in the blood of bulles but in the bloud of the seed of Abraham Further Dauid hath shewen his wisdome that in the choice of the place taking his marke aright and directing his petition to the true and proper periode Imitate the wisdom of king Dauid in his choice he that goeth to a place runneth aright and wisely if he be wise and not by crooked and erroneous waies Dauid sheweth vs the right way for to what place should we goe but to this when our sorrowes are multiplied shall we follow the waies of the wicked and say with them Malac. 3. It is in vaine that I haue serued him and what profit is it that I haue kept his Commandements Or shall we runne vpon the way of impatience adding griefe to griefe liuing the life of Caine or dying the death of Iudas drowning our soules in a gulfe of desperation Shall we spend the time in bannings execrations cursing the day and night the earth that beareth vs the ayre that inspireth vs Not so O Christian soules call vpon the name of the Lord with Dauid there was neuer name so worthie to be called vpon in heauen or earth so mightie for deliuerance so sure for protection so gainefull for successe so compendious to cut off vnnecessarie labours as the name of Iehouah Hauing vnderstood the Conscience Humilitie Memorie 6. The causes to mooue vs to goe to this place and Wisedome of Dauid let me open to you the reasons to mooue perswade vs to go to this place Fiue things mooue the sons of men in the time of plague to depart from contagious places vnto a purer ayre First the counsel of the Physicians Secondly the practise of others Thirdly the danger or perill which they are like to fall in Fourthly desire of health and life Fifthly the experience of successe Let the same be motiues vnto vs in this infection to perswade vs to run speedily vnto this Arke of Noah First it is prescribed by the whole Colledge of the spirituall Physicians by God the father Psal 50.15 King Dauids Physician by God the son who prescribing the remedies which men ought to vse in the last dayes in which the Trinitie of punishments Famine Warres and Pestilence should reigne giueth this counsell Luke 21.36 Watch and pray continually by Prophets Apostles wise men Iam. 5.13 Eccle. 38.9 and 17.23 Secondly the practise of the spirituall Physicians as they haue prescribed it so they haue also practised it haue fled vnto this place to this Sanctuarie went the renowmed Patriarkes the godly Princes the holy Prophets the blessed Apostles the Prince of glory the son of the immortal God the constant Martyrs whose examples ye shall find in the store-house of the Scriptures The example of the bodily Physicians of which some depart in the time of plague hath much force to make vs hasten our departure how much more ought the practise of the spiritual Physicians spurre vs forward vpon our spirituall voyage Thirdly the danger which is threefold In nobis circa nos contra nos In vs round about vs against vs. In vs the plague of sin round about vs the fire of the present plague against vs Sathan who seeketh to make vs curse the Lord and the fire of Gods wrath and anger To auoid this threefold danger run to the Towre and to this blessed Zoar. The fourth motiue is the desire of life and health we need at this time a double health the health of the soule and body let vs therefore goe boldly vnto the throne of grace that we may receiue mercy and find grace to helpe in time of need Heb. 4.16 Why went that woman which was diseased with an issue of blood twelue yeares vnto Christ but that she might receiue her health Matth. 9.20 vers 12. The sicknesse of the plague is an issue of blood which being once opened will euer run and keepe a course if it be not stanched by the power and mercie of God which mercie is onely obtained by going vnto his sacred name to obtaine this double health Dauid went vnto this place 1. Chron. 21. that the plague of his soule might be healed and the bodily plague be remooued If we are as it were dead for sorrow prayer will reuiue vs for it is Vita animae the life of the soule as Chrys termeth it Est anima ipsius animae It is the soule of the soule If we goe into the Countrey which cannot saue vs how much more ought we to flie to this name which hath the power to do it this his power being accompanied with mercy and kindnesse for thou O Lord art good and gracious and of great compassion Psal 8 6. Fiftly experience of good successe is the last motiue they which haue fled to this place haue not beene stopped by the way but haue had good speede Goe vnto King Hezekiah Iob Dauid and the rest and they will preach vnto you by experience the experience of this successe This successe is grounded vpon three things as vpon three firme pillars the Power the Will and Promise the Goodnesse and mercie of God His power I haue heard it that power belongeth vnto God Psal 62.11 There was neuer affliction or sore so great but the hand of that Physician hath beene able to master it the least finger of his right hand being of more puissance then the whole arme of flesh His will and promise Psal 91.1 Ioel. 2.32 Iam. 5.15 Eccle. 31.9 Matth. 7.7 Ioh. 14.13 The King of heauen is not like vnto the Princes of the earth or vnto that Philip of Macedon who answered vnto the widow comming in his Court to him to be heard I am not at leisure vnto
