THis poore thing was bred and borne in your service It might have had the hap to have been still-borne but now it hath cried and was heard in as reverend honorable learned wise and in as frequent and as attentive an Auditorie as ever shall be seen in these parts It hath cried and I pray God some say not It was the voice of the Crier preaterea nihil yet many of best judgement in love with it before they knew what to call the father of it will needs say that it may live and doe good There are two things to help the Bookseller your Graces name and the name of my Lord of Carlile for not a Priest nor a Levite nor scarcely any other Passenger when he observes the Preacher to be your Chaplain and the Sermon to be preached at his consecration but he will though afterwards he neither wish oile to me nor to my lamp yet readily like a good Samaritane take out two pence and give to my hoste If it may thus do good in Gods Church I have my desire and farre beyond my first thoughts God hee knowes when I first spake or thought of sending forth servants I little dreamed of sending forth a Sermon thus farre but now I am glad of the occasion that thus thrust forth into the service of the church I may withall professe by your good leave my devoted service unto your Grace and let the world knowe that I am Your Graces poorest and unworthiest Chaplaine R.

HAving elsewhere not farre hence nor long since made entrance into this Parable and spoken of the former Verse the marriage of the Sonne of God the solemnitie of this day and the frequencie of this Assembly unto both which it was necessarie I should have respect when I knew my service required in this place both these mee thought might not bee ill fitted out of the words of this text where God sends his servants to fetch in guests to the wedding to call and to tell them that were bidden c. For if wee have any thing in this case to tell it is best to tell it in Sion to publish it in Hierusalem and in the great City and if we bee sent to seeke and to call in guests no place so fit as the great Assemblie to call on the City before wee goe into the high wayes and hedges here launch into the deepe Luk. 14.23 let goe our nets and make a draught And as for the great businesse now in hand if you please to joyne the last Sunday with this al● is but what the text here tels us a solemne sending of servants to call them that are bidden unto the wedding yea whereas there is in the text mention of two messages sending and sending againe sending servants and sending other servants so it fals out as you had here the last day an ordinarie sending the Ordination of Ministers now you attend an extraordinary sending the Consecration of a reverend Father a solemnitie which we have not often seene in this place an extraordinarie sending of a more than ordinary for manie respects more than ordinarie servant He that runnes therefore may reade some happie correspondence betweene the worke of the day and the words of the Text that at least for the Text sake however the Sermon prove for the Text sake you may say Sicut audivimus sic etiam vidimus As we have heard so have we seen and as we have seene so have wee heard here in the City of our God Indeed let no man doubt but what God sayes hee will in due time performe though it were a greater matter than eyther sending of servants or spending of his Oxen and fatlings though it were the giving of his only begotten Sonne that all men may see on Gods side omnia parata all things now readie Oh that GOD might see us readie also and that nothing were wanting neyther provision nor messengers nor guests to furnish that great marriage The Text thus suted unto the present occasion divides it selfe with the Assembly part Clergie part Laitie Messengers and Guests The Clergie are the servants sent to call them which were bidden and those other servants sent with instructions to tell them that were bidden Behold the dinner is prepared c. The Laitie are the Guests bidden and called and still called and bidden expected and provided for and still provided for and expected The Clergie are sent the Laitie are sent for The charge to the Clergie is Goe to the Laitie Come It is the fault of the Clergie if either they bee not sent or sent doe not go or going doe not discharge their message It is the fault of the Laitie if either they doe not receive us or receiving doe not heare or hearing will not come to the marriage The text speakes most of the Clergie and if the Sermon for once doe so too I hope no man will complaine Complaine said I no you delight to have the Clergie touched and it is for your advantage for whether it be Paul or Apollos or Cephas 1 Cor. 3.22 all are yours if you be Christs as Christ is Gods For the Clergie then you have here first their Sending he sends sends againe Secondly their Title servants and other servants Thirdly their Office and the end of their sending to call them that were bidden Lastly the Manner of their calling to tell them Sic dicit dominus thus saith the Lord.
