THE BLESSING OF A GOOD KING Deliuered in Eight Sermons vpon the storie of the Queene of the South her words to Salomon magnifying the gouernment of his familie and kingdome By THOMAS GIBSON Minister Eccles 10. 17. Blessed art thou ô Land when thy King is the sonne of Nobles AT LONDON Printed by Tho Creede for Arthur Iohnson Dwelling at the signe of the white Horse in Pauls Church-yard 1614. TO THE RIGHT HOnourable the Lord Harington Baron of Exton Thomas Gibson wisheth all true happines both in this life and in the life to come MY purpose Right Honourable in the dedication of these sermons was to haue ioyned your Honourable father with that worthy Citie whereof he was a principall member and had speciall command and authoritie which place he much respected and loued and where he was againe much respected and honoured The ioy and ornament of the Citie was his name and countenance the very report and newes of whose decease was the cause of many a watrie eye and of many a heauie heart But their speciall comfort and ioy is that the Lord hath in mercy prouided so gratious an heire so worthy a successor so vertuous a fauourer as of all that are honest religious so most of all such as haue beene the faithfull friends and intire louers of your Honourable father who himselfe was a louer of all learning religion and of all good men a true worshipper of God zealous in the truth a sincere professor friend of the Gospell a fauourer of faithfull Ministers a worthie member both of Church and common-wealth a faithful dutiful seruiceable and rare subiect like Moses in faithfulnes in meekenes and in zeale against Idolatrie like Iob a iust man fearing God and eschewing euill like Nathaniell a true Israelite without guile Finally a man full of grace pietie curtesie humilitie temperance and other both morall and christian vertues I am not able to commend him according to his deserts that requires a larger discourse and it would perhaps proue an increase of sorrow which is rather to be abated then renewed I will therefore bend my selfe to administer comfort for so great a losse a losse so generall to Church and common-wealth Friends and followers Tenants and seruants and for my owne part I cannot but beare a part in sorrow for the losse of so kind a Patron and Benefactor both to me and mine Yet this is the vse of the prayses of the dead not onely for imitation of their vertues but also for the coÌ„fort of friends aliue And is this a small comfort Right Honourable that you had such a father yea a comfort and blessing it is to be of the seed of the righteous It is a further comfort that you enioyed him so long till your selfe came to ripenesse of yeares that he died in a good age full of daies few of his Auncestors liued longer and howsoeuer he left this life in a strange countrey yet no doubt he died in the true faith of Iesus Christ which he sincerely professed all his life and in the honourable and faithfull seruice of his gratious Soueraigne the Lords annointed It is no wonder that old men die rather it is a wonder in these latter daies that any liue so long Moses in his time made account of mans ordinarie age to be threescore yeares and ten Now the world decayes and the daies of our life is shortned We heare daily of the death of Infants children young men yea Princes taken away in the prime and strength of their yeares what maruell then though the ancient â—ie when the apple is ripe it must needs fall when the candle is spent the light must needs goe out This vse we are to make of the death of young or old to remember alwaies our mortall state and the vncertaintie of our life to be alwaies readie and prepared not to regard but contemne the lusts of the flesh the lust of the eie and the pride of life pleasures honours riches and the vanities of this wicked world Many moe comforts we haue against excessiue and immoderate sorrowe for the death of our best and dearest friends as to consider what they leaue a miserable world and whither they goe to the hauen of happinesse The best sort of the Heathen vsed three remedies against such kind of sorrow First to consider that death is common to all and vnauoydable Secondly that it is the end of miserie and hauen of rest Thirdly that it is likely that the soules liue and are blessed We haue the same and more sure comforts We know that our Redeemer liues and that wee shall see him as hee is Wee know not onely the immortality of the soule but the glorious resurrection of the body and that those that dye in the Lord are blessed Nothing comes to passe without Gods pouidence who is wise and mightie We pray that his will may be done both of vs and in vs. It will nothing auaile vs to torment our selues we are borne to dye many thousands are gone before vs and we must follow Pardon my boldnes right Honourable in presuming to put you in minde of these thinges which both by your own priuate reading and publicke heauing of many worthy men you doe already know and vnderstand sufficiently Yet in my loue to your Honour giue me leaue to adde some further instruction It hath alwaies beene the endeuour of Sathan the common aduersarie of mans saluation by all means possible to draw all sorts degrees and ages of men from the true care and studie of religion and vertue to the effecting whereof hee hath from euery estate his pretended colours and faire pleasing shewes of perswasion alluremeÌ„t perswading the elder sort that it is a thing vnseemely vnbefitting their grauitie to become schollers in Christs schoole seeing their heads are filled with other matters namely of the Common-wealth and affaires of this world Hee can tell the middle sort which are in the prime of strength and witte that it is against all equitie and reason that such should bee depriued of the pleasures and delights of the flesh and the world And as for the younger sort hee will easilie make make them beleeue that it is not yet time to serue God that the points of religion are too high for them and able to dull and trouble their tender wits buzzing into their eares that wicked prouerbe A young Saint an olde Diuâ—ll Thus by his will he would haue none religious because he would haue none saued but rather that all should perish and come to vtter ruine and destruction It is a torment and vexation vnto him to see any well disposed in religion but if wee hearken to the counsell of God in his word wee shall soone finde Sathan herein a lyer a murtherer a seducer For the Lord chargeth all sorts and degrees of men to giue themselues and that betimes to religion and vertue commaunding his law to bee read and published to men women and
if I giue sentence contrary to law Solon said that the safety of the Common-wealth consisteth in these two points that rewards be distributed after the desert of vertue and punishments after the quality of the offence Iustice saith one knoweth not father knoweth not mother but knoweth the truth accepteth no person but followeth God God is a iust Iudge against wicked persons and if any do stay Iustice and Iudgement through bribes or rewards their sinne and corruption is the greater and a Iudge may be ashamed to say to any offender What wilt thou giue me to shew thee fauour or doe thee Iustice Is not this as if it should bee said What wilt thou giue me to deny my selfe to loose my Office and to sell God himselfe There bee three things saith one which hinder Iustice the fauour of friends flattering praise and receiuing of rewards But this latter is of greater force then the two other There may be causes why punishments may be delayed or lessened some offenders are greater then others and are ring-leaders to wickednesse these deserue more sharpe punishment Others are seduced and fall by occasion these are more mildly to be dealt withall But the inferiour Magistrates can do nothing in such cases without the direction and counsell of the superiour As there be differences of offenders and offences so there be differences of lawes against the which they doe offend Some lawes haue their ground warrant from the law of God and Nature to the transgressers of these there should bee granted no fauour or remission There be other positiue written lawes of the countrey concerning lesser and smaller matters in these the Magistrates haue power sometimes vpon good occasion to remit and pardon so that it be not against the glory of God To this agreeth the words of his Maiesty to his gracious sonne There be some horrible crimes saith he not to be pardoned as Witch-craft wilfull murther incest poyfoning false coine and so hee concludeth that fauour is to be shewed in lesser matters and specially in such as concerne our owne priuate causes But see here the corruption of our nature we are more seuere in our owne causes then in Gods cause wee striue and contend and make a stirre for our riches possessions glory and credite if any goe about to diminish and impaire them how violent cruell and implacable are we But if it be the cause of God how modest how gentle and milde are we Is not this to preferre our selues before God The children of Israel contrary to Gods commandement suffer the Cananites and the Moabitish women to liue Saul spareth Agag and the remnant of Amalecke And another King of Israel spareth Benhadad contrary to Gods commandement And thus men are willing to spare where God would not haue spared and where they should bee most patient and kinde there they are cruell Whereas in our own causes we ought to be patient and mercifull but as for the cause and glory of God we are to be in it most zealous and seuere And there bee some offenders whom the Lord will haue cut off in all seuerity without any fauour pitty or compassion He saith of Amalecke I will vtterly put out the remembrance of Amalecke from vnder heauen Yea the Lord sware that he would haue a warre with Amalecke from generation to generation And he chargeth his people Israel that when they had rest from their enemies and possessed the good Land hee had promised them that then they should not forget to execute these his iudgements on those people and roote them quite out The reason why God did so hate and pursue this people was their hard and cruell dealing against the children of Israel and therefore long after when Saul was King hee giueth him this charge saying Goe and smite Amalecke and destroy all that pertaines vnto them and haue no compassion on them but slay both man and woman both infant and suckling both Oxen and sheepe both Cammell and Asse But Saul vpon a foolish pitty spared Agag the King and some of the fattest beasts but the Lord did not spare him but thrust him out of his kingdome for his disobedience And Samuel said to Agag As thy sword hath made women childlâ—sse so shal thy mother be childlesse amoÌ„g other women And Samuel being a Iudge hewed Agag in peeces before the Lord in Gilgall Ahab a King spared another King whom God would not haue spared but the Lord said to him Because thou hast let goe out of thy hands a man whom I appointed to dye thy life shall goe for his life and thy people for his people These be fearefull examples for Kings and Princes that they take warning by them how they spare any vpoÌ„ any sinister respect whom God in his iust iudgement would haue smitten with the stroke of death and this is no cruelty to follow the example and commandement of God himselfe Hee saith to a wicked and rebellious people If I whet my glistering sword and my hand take hold on iudgement I will execute vengeance on mine enemies and will reward them that hate mee I will make mine arrowes drunke with bloud and my sword shall eate flesh for the bloud of the slaine and the captiues when I begin to take vengeance of the enemy And the people pray thus to God against the seede of Esau because they conspired with the Babylonians Remember say they the children of Edom ô Lord in the day of Ierusalem which said Raze it to the foundation thereof O daughter of Babel worthy to bee destroyed blessed shall he be that rewardeth thee as thou hast serued vs. Blessed shall he bee that taketh and dasheth thy children against the stones No pitty nor mercy is to bee shewed to such as bee sworne enemies to the Church and their owne Countrey to bloudy Babylonians grosse Idolaters And yet as there must bee vpright iustice in all good Magistrates so to this also there must bee ioyned clemency and mercy there is vse and place of both and Iustice and Mercy both of them may bee abused but true Mercy and Clemency is an excellent vertue to all Christian Princes and Gouernours They are in the place of God who is full and rich in mercy and compassion and whose mercie is ouer all his workes they are to follow the example and nature of God whose Image they represent and carry they gouerne and rule not beasts but men and therefore all humanity is to bee vsed towards them they are to punish with griefe and compassion A Physition giueth to a patient his friend some bitter potion which hee could bee content in loue to cast away but onely that hee knoweth that it will bee for the good and health of his friend And thus Magistrates are to thinke of punishments as of medicines whereby the guilty may be amended and others by their examples terrified When the guilty is to be condemned the Magistrate is to thinke
his Subiects yet let him put off that and become a brother doing and leauing vndone all things in respect of the Common-wealth that all men may see that hee seeketh nothing but the profite of his Subiects Worthy is the example of good Mordechai who when hee was a priuate man yet hee was a faithfull subiect in discouering treasons Howsoeeuer proud Hammon comming of that cursed seed of Agag informeth the King of him and the poore Iewes as though they were enemies to the State yet both hee and they were faithfull both to God and the King as it was plainely proued afterward At that time and in that state his care was for the Church of God hee vsed all meanes and ventured all danger for the helping of Gods people After that the enemy of God and of the Church Hammon was cut off and Gods people had deliuerance safety and ioy then Mordechai his faithfulnesse being knowne to the King then I say hee was aduanced to great honour and behaued himselfe as a worthy Ruler for it is said that Mordechai the Iew was the second vnto King Ahashuerosh and great among the Iewes and accepted among the multitude of his brethren who procured the wealth of his people and spake peaceably to all his seed Wherein wee are to obserue three things necessary in good Rulers first to haue the fauour of the people secondly to procure their wealth and thirdly to bee gentle and louing to them This good Ruler being aduanced hee doth not forget himselfe hee is not high-minded hee is not carelesse of his place but imployeth all his trauell for the good and preseruation of the Church This care had good Nehemiah who though hee was safe himselfe and great with the King yet when hee heard of the distresse of his Countrimen hee is moued with compassion hee mourneth weepeth and fasteth for them hee prayeth heartily to God hee goeth to the King for his fauour and protection and vseth all meanes that hee can and endureth many reproches and dangers for the comforting of the people and for the building of the wals of the decayed Ierusalem And thus wee see describing the duties of good Kings and Gouernours we see I say the necessity the authority the excellency the blessing of good Kings the happinesse of good gouernment by them the wicked and notorious transgressours of the first and second Table are cut downe Good Subiects are countenanced Iustice Peace Honesty and all vertue is maintained and cherished In this gouernement the Wisedome Justice and Goodnesse of God towards mankind is most cleerely to bee seene His Wisedome is declared by order which is in deserning vertues and vices and in the Societies of Mankind vnder lawfull gouernment and in contracts guided and disposed by meruailous Wisedome The Iustice of God appeareth in Ciuill Gouernment in that hee will haue open sinnes punished by the Magistrate and when they that are in authority do not take punishment on offenders then God himselfe miraculously draweth them vnto punishment and proportionably doth lay vpon grieuous sinnes grieuous punishments euen in this life as it is said whosoeuer taketh the sword shall perish with the sword and Whore-mongers and Adulterers God will iudge In these punishments God will haue to bee seene the differences of vertues and vices and will haue vs learne that God is Wise Iust True and Chaste The goodnesse of God also towards Man-kind is seene in that hee preserueth the society of men after this order and for that cause doth hee maintaine it that from thence his Church may bee gathered and will haue Common-wealthes to bee places for the entertainement of his Church THE EIGHTH SERMON VERSE 9. And made thee King to doe equity and righteousnesse THE Princely Prophet Dauid the Predecessour and Father of Salomon speaking of the gouernment of himselfe of his houshold and also of the Church and Common-wealth committed to him from God hee saith on this manner I will sing Mercy and Iudgement vnto thee ô Lord will I sing In which words hee promiseth and protesteth openly to God that when hee should place him in the throne of his kingdome he would be in his whole gouernment both iust and merciful that is executing iustice and iudgement against the wicked and shewing all kindnesse and mercy to the good and godly In these two words of Iudgement and Mercy is comprised the whole duety of good Gouernours they must with Dauid strike vpon these two strings Iudgement and Mercy not onely of Iudgement but also of Mercy and not onely of Mercy but also of Iudgment for iudgement without mercy is but cruelty and mercy without iudgment is but foolish pitty therefore saith Salomon Mercy and Truth preserue the King for his throne shal be stablished with mercy And in another place A King by Iudgement maintaineth a Countrey Againe A King that iudgeth the poore in truth his throne shall be established for euer This blessed Queene in describing the office of a King ioyneth with these two blessed Kings Dauid and Salomon saying That God hath placed Salomon in his Throne to doe Equity and Righteousnesse Though shee doe not name Mercy yet no doubt it is included for this Equity and Righteousnesse doth containe an vpright gouernment both in pollicy and religion a gouernment I say according to the rule of Gods law◠punishing the wicked comforting and defending the godly The very proper principall obiect of the Magistrate are all the wicked vnder his gouernment Not that he is to be carelesse of the good for those that be good themselues will haue a care of those that are good seeing God himselfe is carefull of them And as for the good they are soone and easily ruled the greatest care trouble and labour is about the ordering and gouernment of the wicked and the remouing punishing and ordering of them is for the defence comfort peace and good of the godly As the head is to defend the body from all wrong and iniury so farre as it may and as the sheapheard is to defend his flocke against Wolues Foxes and wilde beasts so are good Magistrates to defend their people from all oppressours at home and abroade And therefore all worthy Kings and Rulers haue fought in open field against rebels and cruell enemies in defence of their subiects And thus did Ehud Deborah Barak Gedeon Iephtah deliuer the children of Israel out of the hands of their cruel enemies And thus did Iosua and the Elders of Israel and the men of warre they besiedged the Citty of Ai and destroyed it And Samson a most valiant Champion hazarded himselfe and ventured his life for the defence of Gods people against the bloudy Philistims and both by his life and by his death slue many thousands of them And thus Dauid the King the valiant Souldier defended his subiects the people of Israel from the vncircumcised Philistims and other enemies and slue many thousands of them in the open field And
saith he too late to learne that which is needfull and though it bee more fit for old men to teach then to learne yet it is better to learne then to be ignorant Another saith It is a thing I desire and is most worthy to learne euen to my last age because that no age is so sufficient to learne throughly all that we need Againe saith another Be willing to learne of all that which thou knownest not thy selfe because humility can make that common to thee which Nature hath made proper to any thou shalt be wiser then all if thou bee willing to learne of all they are most rich of all which receiue from all Moses was content to hearken to the counsell of his Father-in-law in choosing officers to be assistant to him in his great charge Dauid receiueth and accepteth the counsell of Abigail a woman and blesseth her in her counsell Naaman the Syrian hearkeneth to the counsell of his maid wishing him to send to Elisha for the curing of his leprosie and the same noble man obeyed the counsell of his seruants aduising him to do as the Prophet bad him The blessed virgin was content to receiue instruction from the Sheapheards of those things which shee knew before Apollos an eloquent man mighty in the Scriptures instructed in the way of the Lord feruent in the spirit is content to receiue further instruction from Aquila and Priscilla which were far his inferiors The Apostle wisheth the Colossians to put Archippus in mind of his duty wishing them to say to Archippus Take heed to the Ministery that thou bast receiued in the Lord that thou fulfill it The vse of this doctrine is chiefly for reproofe of proud and scornfull persons which either scorne all instructions or at least they reiect the counsels of meane persons and of their inferiours Gouernours scorne to learne of their subiects the old disdaine to learne of the yonger parents wil not hearken to their children noâ— maisters to their seruants Ministers scorne to receiue admonition from the people yea from their fellow-ministers if they be of meaner gifts or lesse account in the world And this is the cause that so many holy counsels and Sermons of godly Ministers are reiected or little regarded because they themselues are men of no great estimation in the world Worthy is that example of the Eunuch Treasurer of Aethiopia who did so willingly hearken to Philip and kindly entertaine him for this noble man reading the Prophet Esay in his Chariot being demanded of Philip if he vnderstood that hee read hee did not taunt nor scorne this poore Preacher but confessed his ignorance willingnesse to learne and kindly entertained Philip took him into the chariot with him It is pride of heart and want of humility that causeth men to scorne good instructions from meane persons The Lord sendeth such proud men to the very beastes to learne from them The Oxe knoweth his owner saith he and the Asse his Maisters cribbe but Israel hath not knowne Againe the Storke in the Aire knoweth her appointed times the Turtle the Crane and the Swallow obserue the time of their comming but my people knoweth not the iudgement of the Lord. And Iob saith Aske now the beasts and they shall teach thee and the fowles of the heauen and they shall tell thee Our Sauiour Christ to draw his Disciples to humility setteth a child before them to bee their Teacher saying Verily I say vnto you except yee bee conuerted and become as little children ye cannot enter into the Kingdome of heauen whosoeuer therefore shall humble himselfe as this little child the same is the greatest in the Kingdome of heauen Wee must bee lowly tractable docible and willing to learne as good children are Salomon so execellent a man so extraordinarily wise so famous in all learning is content to receiue the instruction and admonition of this woman a stranger his scholler nothing comparable to him in any grace yet doth hee take in good part her counsell teaching him nothing but that which he knew well enough before And thus at last we haue gone through and finished as wee could this short sweete and worthy Story wherein wee haue laid before our eyes an example of a blessed Queene of a blessed Hearer of a blessed Teacher and of a blessed King Now the Lord the most wise God the Father of all good giftes make vs all the true children and schollers of true Wisedome that wee may esteeme that as our chiefe felicity in earth that so the King in ruling the Nobles and Magistrates in assisting Ministers in teaching People in hearing and obeying may bee truely blessed in this life and fully blessed for euer in the life to come in the place of eternall blessednesse in the Kindome of the true Salomon CHRIST IESVS who sitteth at the right hand of his Father and with Equity and Righteousnesse shall iudge the quicke and dead at his appearing Amen FINIS Psal 148. 11. 12. 13. 1.
