THis solertia and ingeniositie of spirit which in his Maiestie I haue before obserued makes mee to thinke that speech of the heathen man to be true Nullus vir magnus sine afflatu diuino and that in Kinges there is a diuine inspiration 3. In God almighty his iudgement both vppon the Caitiffe of the Caue who being not many houres before in the Celler when some of the Lordes came thether for some other occasions as was thought had not the power to suspect or the grace to flie but when the Priuie watch came in the night he was the first man that appeared at the dore as if God himselfe had presented him vnto their handes and also vpon the rest of the Cōspirators In whō hee verefied that speech of his sonne Mat. 7 In qua mensura c. retaliating their purpose with the effect of their owne proiect as if he would not suffer them to bee taken till they were fired out of the house who woulde haue fired vs within a house striking some of their eyes out with Gunne-powder the instrument of our death and some slaine with Musket there also is Fire and Powder the Engines of their owne Conspiracie Now surely Mirificasti Misericordias O Lorde thou hast made thy mercies wonderfull And thus much shall serue for the first generall the intensiue parte The Conclusion and vse whereof shall bee that sithens GOD hath beene good to vs in a double quantitie of Number and Dimention for Many for Great Deliuerances wee againe aunswere him in the like proportion quantitie for quantitie as Dauid prescribeth Psalme 150.2 In multitudine magnitudinis Hath GOD done great thinges for vs Psalme 126.3 Let vs with the Prophet aunswere him in the same kinde and say Wee wil giue great thankes vnto the Lorde Dooth hee fundere beneficia powre out his benefites vppon vs Psalm 68.19 Let vs againe fundere Corda powre out our heartes before him for GOD is our hope psalme 62.8 Doth hee giue vs cause to triumph it is our parts as Dauid here to aunswere him with an 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and that in all sortes as the word hath beene vsed 1. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to declare this deliuerance in triumphant speeches 2. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to giue Triumphantly our Almes to the poore our dole to the needy for all shoulde haue beene taken from vs therefore wee the better may part with some to so y good vses 3. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to sacrifice in triumph the Calues of our lippes the prayers of our heartes the prayses of our tongues and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to eate triumphingly to feast extraordinarily For so did the people of GOD among the Iewes vppon any straunge deliuerance The Father at the returne of his Sonne Luke 15. did so and why not wee Sithens that is verified of our most gratious King which hee there spake of his recouered Sonne Mortuus est reuixit hee was dead and is aliue againe Dead in the Cabinet of the Conspirators dead in the intention of the Villaine in the Vault dead in the preparation of false-hearted rebels but reuixit hee is aliue againe 1. vixit escaping manie daungers Hee liued vt induceretur ad nos to bee brought in vnto vs from Hebron vnto Ierusalem from the Northerne climat to these Southerne partes now reuixit hee is aliue afresh vt reduceretur ad nos to bee brought againe vnto vs Acherontis faucibus as his Ma yesterday said from the very gates of death from the Iawes of the deuourer from the lowest pit And long may he liue with vs and raigne ouer vs to the comfort of himselfe to the ioy of his Realmes to the confusion of his enemies to the maintenance of the Gospell to the glory of the highest And now but that the time is so farre spent I should come to the seconde parte which is the Extensiue vz. to whome God hath shewed these deliuerances namely to his King and his annointed wherein I might truely haue taken occasion to haue shewed how these titles doe agree to our dread Soueraigne both that hee is a King and that he is Gods King as hauing in him all the partes that may concur either in a king or in a good King to whom that title first attributed to Dauid which once before I named the light of Israel principally appertaineth as one frō whose resplendent brightnesse al the kingdomes of Christendome may receiue their light Whether wee looke vnto the light of nature of pregnant wit of ready apprehension of sound iudgement of present dispatch of impregnable memory Or the light of Art being an vniuersall Scholler acute in arguing subtle in distinguishing Logiclal in discussing plentifull in inuenting powerfull in perswading admirable in discoursing Or the light of grace whether intellectuall for speculatiue Theology a perfect Textuar a sound Expositor a faithfull Christian and a constant Professor or affectuall for Regeneration an assiduous prayer a chast husband of sweete carriage of humble deportment of mortified lusts of sanctified life Or the light of gouernment an vpright arbitrator in cases of Iustice a louing father to his subiects a carefull guardian of his kingdomes a wise manager of his State an especial fauourer of this Citty an absolute Monarch both for Regiment iudgment And yet these lights thus gloriouslie shining in this golden candlesticke this Nocturnus Ambulo this diurnus Nebulo this nightes gadder this daies Pioner would haue at once blowne out So would I also haue handled this worde Annointed which makes a King a sacred person and therein I purposed to haue shewed vnto you that this practise of murthering princes is made an Axiom of Theologie among the Romanists who so reads Parsons Dolman Allen and Parsons their cases of conscience Stapleton his quod libeticall Oration at Doway Rossaeus Reynoldes Gyfford or the bitter expostulation of Ludouicus of Orleance in the case of the Guyses faction against Henry of Nauar now King of France and lastly the positions of the Iesuites of Salamanca shall finde it a conclusion of positiue Diuinitie Whereof were there no other this worde Annointeed is an vnanswerable confutation Touch not mine annointed saith the Prophet Psal. 105.15 For this Dauid took as an inuiolable restraint both when Saule was giuen into his handes How should I lay handes vpon the Lords annointed 1. Sam. 24. and as a sufficient reason to execute Saules murtherer at least the messenger of his death 2. Sam. 1. Howe durst thou touch the Lords annointed Honorauit viuum Vindicauit mortuum saith Saint Augustin only for this reason because he was annointed and yet those which make Religion the stawking-horse for Treasons pretend the Catholike Cause as these Conspirators now did to murther the lords Annointed Against whome I would if the time had serued in this case haue beene more bitter but that I remember there are some amongst vs who challenge vnto themselues the quintessence of Annointing as He Esay 65. Come not neere mee for I am Holier then thou yet come very neare to the same dangerous position not to speake of Knox and Buchanan the two fiery spirites of that Church and Nation where they liued what means that speech of some of our owne Countrie extant in Print in the late Queenes time of blessed memory that if their reformation shoulde not bee yeelded vnto there woulde bee shortly a bloody day in England But the time being so farre gone I wil cut off that whole part being forced thereunto In the meane time I shall desire you to ioyn with me in hearty prayer vnto Almighty God for the continuance of our good King our State and our Religion amongst vs giuing him thankes for his wonderfull mercie in preseruing vs from this terrible blow as they called it from this desperate dreadfull and damnable attempt saying O Eternal God and our most mighty Protector c. As it followeth in that prayer beginning with those wordes printed in the book of Thanksgiuing for this discouery and deliuery But made by the Preacher And let all true Subiects say Amen FINIS Iudg. 17.6 Hest 6.1 Here was the Letter read and varied vpon with some notes

virtutis Ephes. 6.10 The power of his might for weakenes cannot make manie rescues then Potentia claritatis Coloss. 1.11 The power of his glorie Magnificasti for Gods Deliuerances cannot be obscured In the part Extensiue there is Gods mercie sheweth mercyes First that which is called Luke 1.78 Misericordia viscerum his emboweled mercie wherewith hee tenderly and specially affected Dauid For which cause in the title of this Psalme as the Latines reade it hee is called Puer Domini the Lordes Darling or tenderling and so much himselfe confesseth 22. verse Saluum me fecit quoniam voluit me Because hee had a fauour vnto me Secondly that which Diuines call Misericordia facta not onely affecting Dauid but also acting and perfourming mercies vnto him for so it is here Misericordiam faciens dooing mercie vnto Dauid Thirdly that which the Scripture calleth Misericordia custodita Exod. 34.7 His treasured mercy Reseruing mercy for thousands c. Not onely to Dauid but lineally and laterally to his seed and that for euer for many generations These are the partes of this Scripture the summe whereof is that admiration of Dauid Psalme 31.19 Quám magna multitudo dulcedinis tuae There is the part Intensiue which thou hast done to them that feare thee c. There is the parte extensiue Of these in their order The first part THe first part wee obserued is the Pluralitie the Qualitie of these Deliuerances they be plures and they be salutes both which with the Fathers ye may call the two handes of God vz. Latitude and Fortitude the first in the pluralitie Giuing to all men 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 aboundantly 1. Tim. 6.19 that is Manus expansa The second in the qualitie defending what he giues powerfully there is Manus extensa Or in Saint Paules Metaphor The fulnesse of Gods riches First Diuitiae gratiae Ephes. 1.17 Giuing frankely and liberally Secondly Diuitiae bonitatis Roman 2.4 In that the thinges which he giueth be Salutes For so it is Mat. 7.11 Your heauenly Father shall giue vnto you bona good thinges and this comes nearer to Dauids sense who when he meditates of his Deliuerances from God still attributes them to Gods right hand Psalme 73. 23. I was alwayes with thee and thou vpheldest me with thy right hand but herein he obserueth two things First Plenitudo dextrae Psalme 16.11 the plentie of that hand Secondly salutare dextrae Psal. 20.6 the wholesomnesse of that hand For the first vz. the pluralitie it is not with God as Esau spake of his Father Isaac Genes 2● 38 Hast thou but ONE blessing my Father As if God had but one way to saue or as hee said 1. Kings 20.23 that he were a God of the Mountaines onely that is coulde ridde vs from high eminent daungers and not a God of the Valleis yes and of the vaultes too we may say for with him sayeth Dauid there is copiosa redemptio Psalm 131.7 all maner of wayes to redeem And therfore as there being diuerse kinds of sinnes and for euery of them he hath mercies answerable and proportionable an abilitie to redeeme Israel from all his sinnes Psal. 131 8. as for great sinnes he hath magnam misericordiam and for many sins multitudinem miseria um psal 51.1 so proportionable to euery mans dangers or miseries are Gods deliuerances Be they great as Psalme 71.20 great aduersities hast thou shewed vnto me c. Behold here Great deliuerances Are they Many as Psalme 25 17. Tribulationes multiplicasti my sorrowes are multiplied there is with him Multitudo salutum Ps. 94 19. In the Multitude of the sorrows which I had in my heart thy comfortes haue refreshed mee Particularly to fore-prise a daunger hee hath Salutem praeuenientem Psalme 21.3 Thou diddest preuent me with thy goodnesse to meete with a daunger when it commeth hee hath Salutem praeparantem Psalme 18 43. Thou diddest Girde mee with strength vnto the battle to assist at a pinch in the daunger hee hath salutem suscipientem Psalme 118.13 I was thrust at sore that I might fall sed Dominus suscepit me but the Lorde vphelde me to stay a relapse after an escaped danger hee hath salutem confortantem Psalme 89.21 My hand shall holde him vppe and my arme shall stablish him And this pluralitie might Dauid aboue all others acknowledge and so he did when Psalm 118.14 he confessed that God had so many wayes deliuered him Vt totus factus esset in salutem as if hee intended nothing else but to deliuer him For Salus beeing eyther Redimens rescewing from daunger or Redimiens Dignifying or Crowning with Honour the first 1. Samuel 13.41 shall Jonathan die qui salutem tam magnam fecit which hath giuen vs so great Deliuerance that is salus redimens For the second Psalme 21.5 His Glory is greate in tua salute Why Glory and Honour hast thou laide vppon him There is Salus Redimiens in both these Dauid had his share from God more then any other For the first his Rescew from the Beares pawe the Lions iawe Saules iaueline Goliahs speare Achitophels counsell Doegs slaunder Schemi his reuiling the mouth of the sword the murren of his people the multiplicitie of his sinne the rebellion of his sonne no meane nor ordinarie dangers is an euident demonstration and accordingly hee confessed it when Psalme 54.7 hee sayeth hee hath deliuered mee from all my feare For the second his Honours were as many as his daungers the fauour with his Prince the loue of the people the designed heritage of a Kingdome the glorious wearing of a Crowne the triumphant victories ouer his enemies the secure establishing of his Kingdome in his sonne while he liued these Salutes it pleased GOD to affoorde him and with an othe to assure him I will make him my first borne higher than the Kinges of the earth himselfe putteth them both together Psalme 10.1 verse 4. Prayse the Lorde O my soule which saueth thy life from destruction there is the first Salus his acquitall from daunger which crowneth thee with mercy and louing kindenesse there is the second his requitall with Honour And so much for the pluralitie Deliuerances the summe whereof is that of our Prophet in Psalme 34 verse 19. Manie are the troubles of the righteous but the Lord deliuereth them out of all this is Plenitudo dextrae The second part NOw we come to the Quality that is salutare dextrae For as GODS Deliuerances are many so they bee Salutes they haue health in them they bee as Dauid sayeth Psalme 21. Verse 3. Benedictiones dulcedinis sweete blessinges Vsque in delicias amamur sayeth Seneca this is GODS Syntaxis as the vulgar English reades Psalme 28. verse 8. The wholesome Deliuerance of his annointed It is not so with the sonnes of men in whom there may be help sed non est salus in eis Psalme 146.3 there is no health in their helpe trust them not Munera quae putas insidiae sunt their Deliuerances are
