are look for Death there expect it This advice the best of Stoicks gives you Incertum est quo te loco mors expectet itaque tu illam omni loco expecta Death like Lightning enters every where any Pore in your whole Body is a passage big enough and he that thinks in any place to fence himself against Death is just as ridiculous as that Roman Emperour who run under his Bed to shelter himself against Thunder If you are at Sea then there are but three inches betwixt you and Death if at Land that ground you tread on may be your Grave and long home the place from whence you shall not return If you are in the City the Bells ring out all day long and if you retire to your Country House Death is never the farther off though less thought on If you are under the hardships of War then Death stares you in the face every moment and if you wrap up your self in softness you may remember that the delicacies at Capua made greater havock in an Army then the sore fight of Cannae When you are in Durance and laid in Chains the Iron enters into your Soul and a Prison is the perfect emblem of a Grave and when you go abroad your Keeper I mean Death goes along with you is linkt unto you Eadem catena custodiam militem copulat If you are exposed to Air and Wind the Candle of your Life is apt to be puffed out suddenly or at least to spend it self so much sooner and if you live in the Shade under shelter every minute your Light grows still shorter still nearer to the socket quotidie morimur tunc quoque cum crescimus vita decrescit No place no Condition hath a priviledge hath an exemption from Death and the Grave in all places in all conditions wait and expect them And so much for the words of my Text by way of Observation now I come to apply them to the present occasion And here I shall consider Abner 1. In his Titles and Apellations 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a Prince and a great one 2. In the manner of his Fall and that was by a treacherous hand 3. The place of it and that was in Israel and in all these points the Noble Charles Cavendish is his Peer and Parallel First Abner was a great Prince in respect of his Command thus he was Captain of Saul's Host and after that had the conduct of all Ishbosheths Forces and in regard of his Extraction thus he was a near kinsman to the first King of Israel for Abner was the Son of Ner Saul's Uncle 1 Sam. 14.50 First Abner was a great Prince in Respect of his Command He is so who has the Legions under him Phavorinus says with such an one there is no disputing They who have the Souldiery at their beck may talk at a great rate right or wrong and use the language of those younkers in Livy that they do jus in armis ferre omnia fortium virorum esse that the Sword is the best divider of Kingdoms that they who have most Might have most Right Our tongues are our own we are they that ought to speak who is Lord over us He is a great Prince who offers to dispose of Crowns and Scepters and does contest with and contradict too the King of Kings in the doing of it thus did Abner God Almighty by an express makes David King but Abner for all that will set up Ishbosheth This Power it is Gigantick for it gives battel to Heaven it self and my argument becomes unhappy by proving too much when thus I prove Abner a great Prince and therefore I will leave it and proceed to another Secondly Then consider Abner in point of Extraction and so he is a great Prince Abner was the Son of Ner Saul's Uncle you may call him if you please a Prince of the blood only the Sceptre departing from Saul's house he must put Fuimus under his scutchin Saul was an extraordinary man in Israel higher then the rest of the People in Place and Stature from the Shoulders upwards and He casts a great Lustre on his near relations such as Abner and they shine by his raies When Saul's servants spoke to David about marrying their Master's Daughter He asked them this question Seemeth it to you a light thing to be a Kings Son in Law And let me ask you this Seemeth it to you a light thing to be a Kings Cousin German that was Abner a great Prince by virtue of his bloud nec dicendus sine cura and not lightly to be spoke of Abner was a Prince and a great one and so was Charles Cavendish whether you respect his Command or his Extraction First If you look upon him in his Command So He was the Souldiers Mignion and his Masters Darling designed by him for General of the Northern Horse and his Commission was given him a great mark of Honour for one about five and twenty Thus shall it be done to the man whom the King delights to Honour There was a time when he that did extraordinary things for his Lord and Soveraign might hope to be rewarded by him in a manner extraordinary Colonel Cavendish was a Princely Person and all his actions were agreeable to that Character he had in an eminent degree that which the Greeks call 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the semblance and appearance of a man made to govern Methinks he gave this clear indication of a great Commander The Kings Cause lived with him the Kings Cause died with him when Cromwell heard that he was Slain he cried upon it We have done our Business And yet two things I must confess this Commander knew not pardon his ignorance He knew not how to Flie away He knew not how to Ask quarter This Youthful Commander knew not how to Flie away though an Older did I mean Henderson For when this Bold Person entred Grantham on the one side that wary Gentleman who should have attaqued it fled away on the other He knew not how to Ask quarter his Roman courage could not stoop to it If Cato thought it Usurpation in Caesar to give him his Life Cavendish thought it a greater for Traytors and Rebels of a common size to give him his This brave Hero might be opprest as he was at last by numbers but he could not be Conquered The dying words of the great Epaminondas will suite him Satis vixi invictus enim morior What wonders might have been expected from a Commander so Vigilant so Valiant so Loyal so Constant had he not dropt down in his blooming Age But though he fell in his green years he fell a Prince and a great one too in this respect Greater then Abner For Abner that Son of Mars deserved his Fathers epithite 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 one of both sides first he sets up Isbosheth and then he deserts him Whereas Cavendish merited such a Statue as the Roman Senate decree'd L.
