The which I speake not to rubbe and fret the sores of any which mourne in Sion for the sins of there people and would haue Ierusalem builded as a city that is at vnity in it selfe But to advise our overheddy and hasty spirites ether for a while to rebate the edge of their il tempered fury or els to turn their keene and wel sharpned humours against a knowen and most bloudy enimy which will none of our Bishops nor yet our pastors noÌ„e of our religion nor yet our discipline none of our protestantes nor yet our puritanes but which to the griefe of vs all and especially of such in whose harts god hath placed the seÌ„ce of better thinges would set vp the abomination of desolation in our teÌ„ples againe would bring Ridly Hooper Bishops and pastors men though now variyng againe to be fired and burned at a stake In regarde therefore of this most cruell enemy loue of gods church and tender of this our natiue country I haue chosen this scripture as the fittest for me to speake of and you to heare God graunt that we may al follow it as may be to his glory and our countries good The text is taken out of the first booke of Samuel the eleventh Chapter beginning at the fift verse And Saul saide What aileth this people that they weep and they shewed vnto him the wordes of the men of Iabesh then the spirit of the lord came on Saul wheÌ„ he hard those words and he was exceeding angry he tooke a yoke of oxen cut them in peeces sent them into al the coasts of Israel by the handes of messengers saying Whosoeuer commeth not after Saul and aâ—â€¦ter Samuel so shal his oxen be served and the feare of the Lord came vpon the people and they came forth as one man IN the opening of which text we are to coÌ„sider first the occasion why the people

fear of there future and hasting harmes doth make them to water there plants and to weep for themselves and for there children because of the misery that was shortly to ensue Or why do they weepe do they weep as they that are tender harted kinde lovely whose bowels are moued and turned within over the miseries of there brethren as though they were there own O worthy Israelits president most memorable which doth shew to al succeeding ages not happily what they are but what without al peradventure they shoulde be for can one member be strooke and the other not feele nay it feeleth greveth and succoreth what it can When Mardochai heard that Hamon had procured that by the commaunde of the king at a day appointed all the Iews through al his provinces should be put to death he rent his clothes put on sac kloth went into the midest of the city and cried with a great cry a bitter When the friends of Iobe that came to comforte him saw him clothed with so great calamity they lift vp their voices wept rent their garments and sprinkled dust vpoÌ„ their heades In like sort when Hazael was sent from Benadab to know of Elisha whether Benadab should recover Elisha wept Hazael saide why weepeth my lord and he answered even for the evill that I know thou shalt doe to the children of Israel For there strong cities shalt thou set on fier there young men shalt thou slay with the sword thou shalt dash there infants against the stones and rent in peeces there women with child with the like affection Ieremy foreseeing the captivity of his people although hee knewe that his life shuld be giveÌ„ him for a pray yet he wisheth that his head were a wel of water his eis a fouÌ„tain of tears that he might weep day night for the slain of the daughter of his people Now whether this even to approue this weeping of the people heere and to commend this Christian kind and brotherly affection in you so often as brethren of the same hope members of the same bodye fellowe partners of the same quarell and the same successe doe labour in their trouble and are in some distresse For as this hath beene a continued practise of all nations at all times to set vppe the ensignes of ioye for the good successe of their well meaning and confedered friendes soe hath it beene the like custome vppon anye harde eventes to shewe tokens of sorrowe mourning and of much complainte In trueth whereof saye they bee French and not naturall English saye they bee netherlanders and not your brethren yet the troubler of Englande is the troubler of them yet for the same fayth and in the same quarell and against the same enemye which meaneth noe better to you then hee dooeth to them nay much worse in that he hath beene not abroade but at his owne doers and that not once but often heated fired and inflamed by you Wherefore if your stonie hartes can not be mooued over their miseryes althoughe they are your brethren yet weepe for your selues and for your children and for the evils which maye come vpon you for if that most large mighty kingdome shall not withstande his furye nor the force of them that are confedered with him what shall become of this our nation when hee shall againe come not with a navie from Spaine as hee did beefore but from the nigher havens of Fraunce and Flaunders nor with his owne power onelye as before but backed and strengthened with the gentrie of Fraunce Doubtlesse if Rome had occasion to weepe when Saguntum was taken because the walles of Rome were shaken when Saguntum battered if all Israell for Iabesh Gilead much more oughte wee to weepe over their distresse since in their safetie standes ours and their calamitie is as the roaring of the raging sea whome winde and tide doeth hasten for to bringe vppon vs. Weepe and if neither the fellowe feeling of their miserye which are our brethren in the faith nor the feare of our calamitie which is linked with theirs canne mooue vs to teares yet let the iudgementes of God whome neither the wisedome of our councell bee it never so wise nor the valewe of oure souldiers bee they never soe hardie nor the mountaines of oure money bee they never so great is able to beat backe or to turne aside cause all sortes to tender the affliction of Ioseph least God in his iust iudgemente visite you vppon youre Ivory beddes and clothe you with sackloth insteade of silcke baldnes in steade of beuty lest hee change your chaines of golde into chaines of iron strong drinkes and delicate fare into water of trouble and bread of affliction and make you feele all those evils in your selues which you would not rue pity in other Weepe Thus much concerning this that the people wept nowe let vs consider the demande of Saul what aileth the people that they weepe Saul was there king they were his people this is his motion what aileth the people that they weep In whome we may see what louely care and tender affection princes and maiestrates and other gouernours should cary towards the people commended to there charge for whereas they are the fathers of their country they shoulde haue the bowelles of fathers and they should no more abide the cry or teares of their people then doth the tender mother the screeches of her babe or the naturall father the gronings of his pained child For they are nurcing fathers nurcing mothers annoynted by the Lord not for their owne but for the peoples good they therefore shoulde learne to make enquire with Saul what aileth the people that they weepe and to pray with Salomon when they are made rulers over gods inheritaunce not for honour for it shall followe them nor for riches for God shal blesse them but for wisedome and knowledge that they may go in and out before the people Thou hast made me king ouer a gret people giue me now wisdom knowledge that I may go out in before this people They shuld not suffer the harmeles sheep to be spâ—iled by the rauening bear or greedy Lions but they should rescue them from admist their iaws and learne to say in the fulnes of loue with that kingly prophet O spare and let thy haÌ„d be against me my fathers house but as for these sheep what euil haue they done for as it was said by Mardochai to Hester which for a while withdrew her help froÌ„ her distressed people Who knoweth whether thou was aduanced to the kingdome for such an end so may it be spoken to the rulers and governoures of al estates in whose power it is to wipe away the teares of the people and to stil their cries not with who knoweth but that thou was advanced to thy gouernment for such an end do not say for excuse it is a
