of King Salomon AS Spartianus therefore reports of Traian that after his Death he triumphed openly in the Citie of Rome In Imagine in a Liuely Statue or Repraesentation inuented by Adrian for that purpose Soe shall this Salomon of Israel doe at this time in the Statue and Repraesentation of our Brittish Salomon Truly me thinkes Si nunquam fallit imago the resemblance is very liuely Sic oculos sic illemanus sic oraferebat All the Circumstances doe suit very well And therefore as a late Commenter vpon Philostratus tells vs that in Greece the Statuaries began with the making of their mould and then proceeded to the polishing of their partes Soe will I compare these two Kinges first as it were in one generall lumpe or mould that you may see by the odnesse of their proportion how they differ from all Kinges beside and then with a particular examination of the parts of my Text that you may obserue by the seuerall Members how well they resemble the one the other FOr the bulke or the mould I dare praesume to say you neuer read in your liues of two Kings more fully parallel'd amongst themselues and better distinguished from all other Kings besides themselues King Salomon is said to be Vnigenitus coram Matre sua the onely sonne of his Mother Prouerbs 4. 3. so was King Iames. Salomon was of complexion white and ruddie Canticles 5. 10. verse so was King Iames. Salomon was an infant King Puer paruulus a little childe 1 Chron. 22. 5. verse so was King Iames a King at the Age of thirteene moneths Salomon began his raigne in the life of his Praedecessor 1 Kings 1. 32. So by the force and compulsion of that state did our late Soueraigne King Iames. Salomon was twice crown'd and anoynted a King 1 Chron. 29. 22. So was King Iames. Salomons minority was rough through the quarrells of the former Soueraigne So was that of King Iames. Salomon was learned aboue all the Princes of the East 1 Kings 4. 30. So was King Iames aboue all Princes in the vniuersall world Salomon was a Writer in Prose and Verse 1 Kings 4. 32. So in a very pure and exquisite manner was our sweet Soueraigne King Iames. Salomon was the greatest Patron we euer read of to Church and Churchmen and yet no greater let the house of Aaron now confesse then King Iames. Salomon was honoured with Embassadors from all the Kings of the Earth 1 Kings 4. last verse and so you know was King Iames. Solomon was a maine Improuer of his home commodities as you may see in his Trading with Hiram 1 Kings 5. 9. verse and God knowes it was the daily study of King Iames. Salomon was a great maintainer of shipping and Nauigation 1 Kings 10. 14. A most proper Attribute to King Iames. Salomon beautified very much his Capitall Citie with Buildings and Water-workes 1 Kings 9. 15. So did King Iames. Euery man liu'd in peace vnder his vine and his Figge-Tree in the daies of Salomon 1 Kings 4. 25. And so they did in the blessed daies of King Iames. And yet towards his End K. Salomon had secret Enemies Razan Hadad and Ieroboam and prepared for a Warre vpon his going to his Graue as you may see in the verse before my Text. So had and so did King Iames. Lastly before any Hostile Act we reade of in the History King Salomon died in peace when he had liued about 60. Yeares as Lyra and Tostatus are of opinion And so you know did King Iames. You see therefore a Mould fitted for another Salomon in the Bulke and Generall I come now according to the Method in my Text to polish and refine the Members of this Statue in their diuision and particular TO beginne with his Reliquum verborum his wordes and Eloquence you know it well enough it was rare and excellent in the highest Degree Salomon speaking of his owne Facultie in this kinde diuides it into two seuerall Heads a ready Inuention and an easie discharge and expression of the same God hath granted me to speake as I would and to conceiue as is meet for the things spoken of Wisdome 7. 15. vers and this was eminent in our late Soueraigne His Inuention was as quicke as his first thoughts and his Wordes as ready as his Inuention God had giuen him to conceiue The Greeke word in that place is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that is to make an Enthymem or a short syllogisme and that was his manner He would first winde vp the whole Substance of his Discourse into one solid and massy conception and then spread it and dilate it to what compasse he pleas'd profluenti quae Principem deceret eloquentia as he said of Augustus in a flowing and a princely kinde of Elocution Those Speeches of his in the Parliament Starre-Chamber Councell Table and other publique Audiencies of the State of which as of Tullies Orations Ea semper optima quae maxima the longest still was held the best doe proue him to bee the most powerfull Speaker that euer swayed the Scepter of this Kingdome In his Style you may obserue the Ecclesiastes in his Figures the Canticles in his Sentences the Prouerbs and in his whole Discourse Reliquum verborum Salomonis all the rest that was admirable in the Eloquence of Salomon For beside his Prose Iter ad carmen nouerat hee made a Verse also when hee pleas'd and that as became Buchanans best Scoller Sanissimi coloris of a most dainty and elaborate composition An euerlasting honor to the Muses For as Alexander somewhat shie at the first was content afterward to be Burgesse of Corinth because Hercules had formerly accepted of the place Euen so the greatest Potentate of all the Earth may now without blushing stoope to a Verse being the vsuall Recreation of King Dauid together with this first and second Salomon For the King our Master neuer vs'd it but as Dauid did for the praise of God and his owne comfort Hee was in hand when God call'd him to sing Psalmes with the Angels with the Translation of our Church Psalmes which hee intended to haue finished and dedicated withall to the onely Saint of his Deuotion the Church of Great Britaine and that of Ireland This worke was staied in the one and thirty Psalme Blessed is he whose vnrighteousnesse is forgiuen and whose sinne is couered The very best meditation of all as Saint Austin thinkes in the Church Militant to prepare a Soule for the Church Triumphant Thus therefore in Prose and Verse in his Prouerbs and in his Canticles he was nothing short of the Eloquence of Salomon pointed at in this first circumstance Reliquum verborum Salomonis The rest of the words of Salomon FRom his Sayings I am come to his Doings Quae fecerit All that he did 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as Theocritus speakes a vast wood and world of matter fitter for the Annals and Historie of
