poore Widow cast in her Mite Then the peoples continuance in well doing For said he they gaue not a little at the first for fashion sake or in shew of deuotion and then grew weary but they brought in and cast into the Chest vntill there was sufficient Therein he also obserued how the End crowns the Action for to beginne well and not to end well is to bee a Christian by halfes and that in the worst halfe too And these mee thought were the principall diuisions of the Text whereat I was neuer a whit vext c. After the Sermon was ended I went in and at two of your Pillars neare Sir Christopher Hattons Tombe me thought I saw two Chests chained to two Pillars one hauing these words and verses in Capitall letters written in a faire Table hanging ouer the Chest as followeth viz. THE KINGS CHEST COme all good Subiects loyall and liege people With chearful harts to help this Church and Steeple For here 's the place of offering appointed By IAMES our sacred King and Gods Annointed Where such as with deuotion offer free Shall in true Register recorded be To their great honor fame renowne and praise From this time forward to the end of dayes His Highnesse hath begunne for your example Come then I pray it 's for Gods holy Temple THE QVEENES CHEST THis Chest which here inchained you doe finde Prepared for the gifts of * Or kind Women women-kinde Queen ANNE chiefe foundresse S. Paules wel-willer Commanded to be fixed to this pillar And ' cause she would her pious heart vnfold Shee first put in a Princely showre of gold Come Ladies then her goodnesse imitate And let Paules know shee shall be fortunate Nay come all women bring away your crownes Pounds shillings pence from Countries Cities Townes O let it be to all a ioy and pleasure To helpe this Church with some part of your treasure It is a blessed worke and well't doth suite That faithfull trees should bring forth holy fruite Your Offerings shall be kept in true Record Vntill the second comming of the Lord. Come then I pray and let this Prouerbe stand When Women giue they haue a luckie hand These two Chests one for the men and another for the womens Offerings me thought one told me were placed there not so much for the present Offering which was then in generall at your North doore for getting money to set on the Worke but for future during the time of your Reparation and were attended by one appointed by the King of purpose to * This Register or Record is humbly required by c. as a Grace to what he hath done record the gifts which should be brought in either as volūtary by the liuing or as Legatory by the deceased To the end his Maiestie might once a yeare see how his louing Subiects and loyall people did second his Highnesse and imitate his goodnesse to their power in his pious designes And thus I concluded my second Dreame viz. As wicked workes doe bring our soules damnation So pious workes are steps to our saluation 3. My third and last Dreame was in this manner Me thought I saw you suddenly renewed beautifully repaired and cured of all your euills and infirmities And then me thought appeared a farre more glorious splendor in the Heauens then that which I saw in my first Dreame and neare to the Kings Picture which me thought was rarely ingrauen and cut in stone vpon your Steeple I saw eight Angels flying vp and downe reioycing with great melody and sounding Praises with Trumpets and heauenly Voices as followeth viz. 1 Angell For this good worke King Iames shall rule in peace And ' cause by him the Gospell doth increase 2 Angell Hee shall be prosperous in all his wayes Hee shall haue health long life and happy dayes 3 Angell His Royall Seede shall mighty be and many And shall increase as much as ere did any 4 Angell Hee shall plant Colonies in euery Nation To forward still the Gospels propagation 5 Angell Like as the Sands on Sea or Starres in Skye So shall his People grow and multiply 6 Angell Hee shall haue conquest when hee goes to fight And shall put all his enemies to flight 7 Angell And at the last to end our blessed story Hee shall be crown'd in heauen with endlesse glory 8 Angell Where Angels and Archangels euer sings All prayse and honor to the King of Kings S. Pa. So be it Fa. Amen This glorious sound of the Angels so much inflamed my spirits with diuine desires to heare and see more being also rapt and rauished with ioy at your beautifull appearance that I suddenly start vp in my bed and was thereby awaked And thus haue I ended my third Dreame and as briefly as I could repeated all three of them S. Pa. Did you not write a Booke of this at large and giue it to his Maiestie when you presented the Table Fa. Yes that I did but for want of a Friend in Court I failed of my desires which was to haue published it such ill successe had I with my Petitions that although his Maiestie seemed well pleased with any thing I gaue him in your behalfe yet could I neuer get Reference vpon any So that oftentimes I went by Chearing aliàs Charing Crosse in the Morning and home by weeping Crosse at night S. Pa. What time of the yeare did you fall into these contemplatiue Dreames Fa. Vpon the Eue of S. Iames the Apostle it beganne but it continued long after as you shall see by the Prologue which is before the Dreame in the Booke which I gaue to the King in this manner The PROLOGVE VVpon the Feast of IAMES th'Apostle last At ten a clocke i' th night and somewhat past I went to bed and after I had pray'd I turnd me on my right side and so laid Intending there in quiet sort to sleepe Vntill the Larke did sing or day did peepe So musing broad awake a little while At last a slumber did mine eyes beguile And what I thought but then before I slept I dream'd thereon and in that Dreame was kept Foure houres at least nay as I now remember It did not end vntill the last Nouember Except some thrice and then I felt some paine So dream'd so wak't then dream't then wak't againe As if I had beene * It might haue made a better head then mine ake aboue three times made of dreame and sleepe Sometimes I laught and sometimes waile and weepe By which I cal'd to mind a sacred Theame That all mans life is but a Sleepe or Dreame A Span a Flower a Ship at Sea a Bubble Like to a Tale that 's told like Grasse like Stubble Like any thing that soone doth change and fade Such is the life of man whom God hath made I meane in this life fraile and transitory Vntill he doe attaine the life of glory And then beganne my waking dreaming Story S. Pa. Now I pray thee
