it in Mount Sion but feared then to doe it because the Lord in wrath had killed Vzzah for staying the arke with his hand when the oxen shooke it And when after he had heard from many that God blessed the house of Obed-Edom where for three moneths after the death of Vzzah the arke remained he charged the cheife fathers of the Leuites whose office it was and none others to carry the arke of God to sanctifie themselues and their brethren for the Lord had made a breach amongst them because they were not there at the first and because then they sought not God after a due order who beeing sanctified and hauing on them linnen garments like as had all the singers yea and Dauid the king they together with the Elders of Israel and captaines of thousands brought the arke of the couenant with shooting melodie great ioy and the sound of trumpets and placed it in the middest of the tabernacle which Dauid in Mount Sion had caused to be pitched for it And although euen then Michol Dauids wife did therefore despise him because so arraied he daunced before the arke saying O how glorious was the king of Israel which was vncouered to day in the eies of his maid seruants as a foole yet he did not onely approoue his fact by reproouing her but glad to see that after a thousand yeares the Lord had accomplished his promise that the arke of his strength was come into his rest that the Lord had chosen Sion and loued to dwell in it saying this is my rest for euer here wil I dwell Ioying also at the heart to see the readie obedience of the Elders Worthies and people in seconding the command of God and furthering him in his godly desires he maketh this congratulatorie psalme of praise and thanksgiuing saying I was glad when they said vnto me we will goe into the house of the Lord and after in this psalme speaking to the priests that attended on the arke to the people that by their tribes were to come to HierusaleÌ„ there to offer before the Lord and to the Elders which on the seates of iudgement gaue sentence there to them all he saith O pray for the peace of Hierusalem let them prosper that loue thee This was the occasion that moued Dauid to deliuer this speech Now let vs in the second place consider to whome he spake it euen to the priests people and rulers To the priests for since the arke was now placed in Hierusalem there to continue his aboad vpon which it was their office to attend not onely there to offer the daily sacrifice but there also to make attonement vnto God for the sinnes of the people It behoued them greatly to pray for the welfare of that holy citie yea and aboue the common maner of the vulgar people to sanctifie themselues least for their sakes God should abhorre the sacrifices which he himselfe ordained as in the daies of Helie or make a breach with his people as in the late slaughter of Vzza And yet not to them onely doth the Prophet Dauid here speake but to the people also for when God had appointed them that thrice euery yeare on their solemne feasts they should appeare before the Lord Iehouah in that place which the Lord shall choose to put his name there and accordingly they did the feast of vnleauened bread at the feast of weekes and at the feast of tabernacles to which Dauid in this psalme giueth witnesse thither the tribes euen the tribes of the Lord goe vp a testimony vnto Israel to giue thankes vnto the name of the Lord. Theirs it was also as wel as the priests in their godly desires to wish for the peace of Hierusalem and in their holy obedience to procure that God might still continue fauourable vnto her And because the welfare of Hierusalem consisted not onely in the praiers of the priests obedieÌ„ce of the people but in the wel-ruling of the cheife gouernours to them as to the third and cheife estate of this bodie politique Dauid here speaketh that they should carefully seeke for those things which should make for Hierusalems peace for although in their seuerall cities the tribes of Israel had their rulers and such which heard the causes of the people yet in Hierusalem was placed the cheife seate of iustice there was the Senadrim the counsell of the seauentie Elders vnto whome were referred all causes of weight both in matters concerning God and his worshippe as the state ciuill of the kingdome the which Dauid in the verse before sheweth where be faith there is ordained the seate for iudgement euen the seates of the house of Dauid Therefore called the seates of Dauid because he was then their king and from him had they power to command Thus much for the persons priests people and rulers to whome he addressed his speech Now thirdly let vs speake of the speech it selfe of that which he requireth of them Of the Priests that they should pray of the people that they should desire of the rulers that in the best of their indeauours they should seeke for those things that should make for the inward and outward peace of Hierusalem that should make Hierusalem at peace with God and at peace with the world Not onely for her outward peace and happinesse that shee may be freed from violence and liue in securitie without all feare of forraine enemie as Chrysostome speaketh but that her children as the twinnes of Rebecca doe not struggle within her for that cannot be but with her great paine and greater griefe nay abode all that shee may be at peace with her God The which all Caluin fitly expresseth saying he exhorteth all the Christians worshippers of God that they make their praiers for the happy estat of that holy citie for since as Beza truely obserued the safetie of Prince Priest and People seemed to consist in the preseruation of that citie let all sorts pray for Hierusalem and for the safetie and wel-fare of all them that loue and fauour her As if he had spoken first to the Priests O ye Priests which should be peace-makers and seeke to reconcile the people to their god by whose holy praiers as by the prayer of Moses not onely Israel preuaileth and Amalech is put vnto the worst but by whose holy life and louely conuersation the people of God are mightily perswaded to honestie of life and a brotherly vnitie seeke ye the peace of Hierusalem and doe not yee either by your variance trouble and make muddle her pure and siluer waters or cause by your ill liues and dishonest conuersations the people to abhorre the sacrifices of the Lord and therefore to be abhorred of the Lord. As Moyses to Aaron what did this people to you that you should bring so great a sinne vpon them And to you O yee people

of God seeke yee the peace of Hierusalem doe not yee by your vnconsiderate zeale your vnholied haÌ„ds seeke to staye the tottering arke of Gods troubled Church lay to your hearts the death of Vzza Your good intents must haue warrant from the Lord goe vp to Hierusalem there coÌ„sult with the mouth of the Lord for flesh and blood are ill aduisers in matters concerning God As the Lord spake to Israel so to you if so be you will preuaile with him heare O Ismael and hold thy peace rest content with his good pleasure and say with Samuel speake Lord thy seruant heareth And to you the Gouernours of the people which sit on the seates of iustice to judge for God in the cause of right the peace of Hierusalem must be the scope of your iudgements the forth and end of your desires Let the feare of the Lord bee alwaies with you and since you are the eies of the kingdome prouidently foresee the armes of authoritie powerfully procure the peace of Hierusalem it is not inough for you with the Priests to pray or people to desire but you must in the best of your indeauours seeke and seeking finde and finding worke forth the peace of the Church and kingdome which you gouerne for you execute not the iudgements of man but of the Lord. Therefore thus shall ye doe in the feare of the Lord faithfully and with a perfect heart In this manner Dauid aduiseth Priests People and Rulers to seeke the peace of Hierusalem Thus much for the exhortation now let vs speake of the reason why Priest People and Gouernours should seeke the peace of Hierusalem The reason is twofold which is gathered out of the words that followe They that loue her shall prosper First if they seeke her peace it will be an euident argument that they loue her Secondly they shall not leese the fruite of their labour God shall make them to prosper as if he would haue said seeke the peace of Hierusalem thereby shew forth your loue vnto her and cause the God of blessing for the peace you procure her to poure down his blessings vpon you and yours they that loue her shall prosper Otherwise knowe that as there were many in the daies of Dauid which for all their faire shewes as Chrysostome speaketh had euill will at Sion yea and that as Musculus obserueth who in hearts were ioyned with the professed enemies of Hierusalems peace and vnder hand fought to trouble and vnquiet her estate so certainely although for a while they were not seene nor discerned of men but were honoured of many as men of a deepe reach and politique carriage yet were they then despised of the Lord and in the appointed time God shall cause them to be taken in their owne wiles and will preserue his Hierusalem from harme This is that which Isaiah after prophecied of the Church Behold the enemie shall gather himselfe but without me saith the Lord whosoeuer shall gather himselfe in thee against thee shall fall Behold I haue created the smith that bloweth the coales in the fire and him that bringeth forth an instrument for his worke I haue created the destroyer to destroy but al the weapons that are made against thee shall not prosper and euery tongue that shall rise against thee in iudgement thou shalt condemne Pray for therefore and seeke the peace of HierusaleÌ„ in so doing you shall shewe that you doe loue her for this your loue in seeking her peace God shall make you prosper Thus much for the opening of this text now let vs seeke to fitte it to these times This Hierusalem is a figure of our Church this Dauid a figure of our king the placing of the arke on MouÌ„t Sion which before wandred here and there through the tribes of Israel and had no setled and abiding place a figure of the Gospel of Christ Iesus which although it hath had long aboad in this land as the arke in Israel yet it seemed to many of vs to haue no sure ground of a continuall abode till the Lord God in loue to our nation and fauour to his Church setled as the arke on Mount Sion the imperiall diadem of this kingdome vpon the person of our renowmed Soueraigne and of his most royall and euer blessed issue The which as it hath of all sorts of people beene most gladly acknowledged so the better to remember vs of this and other our loyall duties let me speake vnto you as sometime did Dauid vnto his people O pray for the peace of our Hierusalem the Church of England let them prosper O Lord that loue her In which my discourse that I may the more distinctly proceede obserue with me first the cause of this my exhortation secondly the exhortation it selfe first to you my brethren of the ministrie as Dauid to the Priests secondly to you of the people as Dauid to the tribes of Israel thirdly to our Gouernours as Dauid to them that sate on the seates of iustice Thirdly the reason why all estates should receiue this exhortation because they that loue Hierusalem and seeke her peace they shall prosper Concerning the cause of this my speech since this Hierusalem resembleth the Church whereof we are meÌ„bers which as Ierom speaketh is not fully builded but is daily a building wherein not dead but liuely stones are laid on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets Christ Iesus being the head corner stone And wheras during this our building many the aduersaries of Iudah and Beniamin of God and of his trueth haue come to our Zerubabell and cheife fathers and sayed vnto them we will build with you for we seeke the Lord your God as ye doe But purpose indeede to discourage the people and trouble this building Nay since we cannot say of our Church and builders as Dauid there of that Hierusalem that it is a citie which is builded at vnitie in it selfe but we may euery where heare men complaining of and taxing our many iarrings idle disagreements Let no man aske the reason why I take vnto me these words of exhortation O pray for the peace of Hierusalem let them prosper that loue her WheÌ„ many in our Church walke after the flesh not after the spirit seeking to serue their owne phansies and worldly respects and not the trueth of Christ Iesu in the singlenesse of their hearts When many as we may see stumble at strawes and leape ouer blockes straine at gnats and swallow camels tithe minte and commyn leaue the greater matters of the lawe neglected Nay when many in stead oâ— a good zeale for Gods glorie and for his truth bring strange fire such which neuer burnt on Gods altar but was fetched from the fire of hell it selfe as though without it Gods truth could not stand nor we be known to be the seruants of God except we weare the cognizance of the deuill When the words and deeds
