The Life-Guard OF A Loyall Christian described in A SERMON PREACHED At St Peters Corn-hill upon Sunday in the afternoone May 7. 1648. BY PAUL KNELL Master in Arts of Clare-Hall in Cambridge Sometimes Chaplaine to a Regiment of Curiasiers in his Majesties Army ROM 8.31 If God be for us who can be against us LONDON Printed in the Yeare 1648. A Prayer for the King O Lord preserve the Kings most excellent Majesty our Soveraign Lord Charles King of England Scotland France and Ireland Defender of the Faith and Supream Governour in these his Realms and in all other his Dominions and Countreys over all persons and in all Causes as well Ecclesiasticall as Temporall Behold O God our Defender and look upon the face of thine Anoynted Lord remember King Charles and all his troubles remember him according to the favour that thou bearest unto thy people O visit him with thy salvation plead thou his Cause O Lord with them that strive with him and fight thou against them that have so long fought against thee and him thou that bringest man out of prison be pleased to bring him thence deliver him not alwayes over unto the will of his Enemies but set his feet once more in a large roome send down thine hand from above deliver him and take him out of the great waters from the hand of strange children keep him as the apple of thine eye hide him under the shaddow of thy wings from the men of thy hand O Lord from the men and from the evill world let his honour yet be great in thy salvation glory and great worship doe thou lay upon him set his Dominion also in the Sea and his right hand in the Floods as for those his Trayterous Enemies which would not that he should reign over them though they have imagined such a device let them never be able to perform it but let them all be subdued unto him even in the midst among the Kings Enemies Let us no longer see servants upon horses and Princes walking as servants upon the earth but they that now trample upon him let them kneel before him let his Enemies lick the dust comfort him again now after the time that thou hast afflicted him and for the years wherein he hath seen so much evill restore him to his Crown on earth and when thou takest away this give him a Crown in heaven And let every Loyall Christian say Amen The Life-Guard OF A Loyall Christian ISAIAH 43.2 When thou passest thorow the waters I will be with thee and thorow the Rivers they shall not overflow thee when thou walkest thorow the fire thou shalt not be burnt neither shall the flame kindle upon thee QVem miserum video hominem scio trouble is the very badge and cognizance of humanity we are born to it holy Job saith as the sparks flie upward to this end were we borne and for this cause came we into the world Or if this be not finit intentionis yet it is finit executionis I am sure if we came not hither a purpose to be troubled yet without great trouble we cannot get from hence from the Cradle to the Coffin being like Ezekiels roule full of Lamentatition and mourning and woe There are some indeed I meane the Trayterous Reformers of our Age that live wholly at ease in their usurped Possessions they come in no mis-fortune like other Folke neither are they plagued like other men But these look like the Devils Darlings or rather like the Worlds Bastards though we may be men therefore without trouble yet without it we cannot be Loyall Subjects we cannot be good Christians in the world yee shall have tribulation were the words of our departing Saviour to his Church But he told them just before that in him they should have peace and he telleth them in effect the selfe-same in our Text That he will deliver them in six troubles yea that in seven there shall no evill touch them that in Famine hee will redeem them from death and in Warre from the power of the Sword Let their troubles bee externall corporall corrections let their troubles bee internall spirituall desertions yet their Joshua and their Iehovah will deliver them out of all When thou passest thorough the waters I will bee with thee and thorow the Rivers they shall not overflow thee when thou walkest thorow the fire thou shalt not bee burnt neither shall the flame kindle upon thee In which words ye may please to observe with me four parts the Passenger the Passage the Concomitant and the Consequent The Passenger is the Church cum transieris when thou passest The Passage is twofold per aquas per ignes thorough waters and thorough fire The Concomitant or the Convoy is Almighty God tibi ad sum I am or I will be with thee The Consequent is the Churches safety flumina non operient flamma non incendet the rivers shall not overflow thee the flame shall not kindle on thee And of these parts in order I begin with the Passenger which is the Church cum transieris when thou passest Had we retained our first integrity we might easily have stept to heaven with as great facility as from one room to another from the parlour of an earthly to the presence-chamber of an heavenly Paradise But sinne hath placed a 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a great gulf between us and heaven we that were sometimes near are now afarre off whosoever will hereafter enter into Canaan he must undergo a tedious passage thorough the wildernesse There are foure titles that pertain to the best of Adams sons Advenae Inquilini Hospites Peregrini we are strangers we are sojourners we are guests we are pilgrims but of all foure the last me thinks fitteth our condition best Peregrini we are pilgrims Viatores we are travellers Transeuntes we are passengers here we have no continuing city but we seek for one to come Look upon the Patriarch Abraham the great grandfather of the Church and ye shall finde him like St. Paul in journeying often from Caldea to Charran from Charran to Canaan where he journeyed the Apostle telleth us as in a strange countrey dwelling in Tabernacles with Isaac and Iacob he had there none inheritance 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 saith St. Stephen no not so much as to set his foot on to teach him and us all that we must not set up our staffe here plus ultra we must go further we being but Pilgrims on the earth This we know likewise to have been the condition of the Israelites who wandered in the wildernesse in a solitary way and found no city to dwell in their own houses were tents Gods house was but a Tabernacle all portable to be carried up and down from one place to another they had neither tenement nor Temple till they were setled in the land of Canaan nor have we any certain dwelling place till we come thither where the Lamb 's the Temple For while we
