Art of setting Crowns who can so well settle th●m on the heads of Princes that they keep firm and will not fall Men may meddle with it but without the heavenly favour and assistance they cannot succeed well therein As experience hath shewed it in all ages that Crowns either usurped or unjustly snatched set on by Sedition and Rebellion have fallen with those that went about to wear them For it is too heavy a burthen and not to be born by every one but by such only as God calls thereunto and in bles for it 2. The lengthening of days Thou gavest him length of days for ever and ever The years of the life of David amounted to seventy and those of his reign to forty For he reigned seven years in Hebron and thirty three in Jerusalem a lengthning of days considerable enough which he durst not hope for during the time of his persecutions but at the beginning of his reign by the gift of Prophecy he promised it unto himself And what hath been wanting as to the perpetuity of it mentioned here hath been made good by the lengthning of days of eternity in heaven above which is the true life of the faithful But this seems rather to belong to the Mystical sense II. The Mystical sense FRom the Literal sense we come to the Mystical David was the Type of Jesus Christ and therefore what is said of the one may be referred or applied to the other yet still observing that general rule that the mystical sense takes onely place in such matters wherein the thing is verified in both that is to say that what is taken mystically in one place be found literally in another place as we have declared before So that all the parts that cannot be perfectly verified in the Antitype do remain solely appropriated in the literal sense to the Type without pasting to the mystical sense And mutually such as cannot be verified in the Type do remain solely appropriated in the literal sense to the Antitype without passing to the mystical sense For then the Holy Ghost does propound the literal sense in figurate words the Type being set down for the Antitipe Upon this account let us expound this Text as all others of the like nature But at this time we shall only trace the introdnction of that relation between the Type and his Antitype For our Lord Jesus Christ being the ordinary subject of our meditations the more large deduction of that matter is often enough made upon other occasions I. The joyful King is the King Messiah not he of the Rabbines a meer carnal and imaginary Messiah but Jesus Christ the object of all the ancient Types and Prophecies This joy is great since the subject of it is great it is perfectly pure suitable to the holy Soul of Jesus Christ which is not expressed by outward gestures of exultation as that of men which is more carn●l It is communicative for that King knows of no other joy but such as is common to his Church yea he rather came to the world for the joy of his people then for his own Luke 2. I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all the people Matth. 1. For be shall save his people from their sins And what he faith John 11.15 I am glad for your sakes we may apply it to the end and aim of his exaltation II. The Cause of his joy is the deliverance of the state of his exinanition and of the sufferings both of his soul and body Es 53.8 He was taken from prison and from judgement 1. The Author of his deliverance is God who through his strength hath exalted him Eph. 1.19 20. According to the working of his mighty power which he wrought in Christ when he raised him from the dead c. 2. The Means is his hearts desire and the request of his lips The prayers of Jesus Christ during the time of his humiliation have been frequent and although he had the revelation of the eternal Decree of God touching himself yet he hath prayed unto him for the accomplishing of it John 17. Father glorifie thy son that thy Son also may glorifie thee 3. The proofs of his deliverance are likewise obvious 1. Also the general part that he hath been prevented with blessings hath rather been true in the Type then in Jesus Christ for to speak properly he hath been prevented with no kinde of blessings in the the state of his exaltation neither for himself nor for his Church which before he had not fore seen and foretold And in that point as in many other he being God and Man and Mediator between God and men ought to be distinguished from all others 2. As to the particulars 1. The setting on of the Crown yea and of a Crown of pure Gold it signifies here the Royal Office wherein he wears a Crown that surmounts and is more excellent then the Crowns of all the Kings of the earth For God hath highly exalted him and hath given him a name which is above every name c. Phil. 2. Far above all Principalities and Powers and might c. and hath put all things under his feet and gave him to be the head over all things to the Church c. 2. The lengthening of days even for ever and ever is rather verified in Christ then in David his Type Rom. 6. Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more death hath no more dominion over him Es 53. He shall prolong his days who shall declare his generation III. The Accommodated Sense IF we compare the example of that King who is the present subject of our admiration with King David as to those things we have spoken of him we shall finde them extreamly like one unto the other We do not intend here to fall upon Panegyricks and praises of the vertues and excellent qualities of that Prince it being a thing neither suitable to our persons nor to this place which is the Chair of truth and simplicity and not of flattery But our design is only to shew you that admirable conformity that is between those two Kings and to pray God for this that he might be pleased to grant him the grace to acknowledge that his deliverance comes from him alone as you see he hath done unto David I. The joyful King is KING CHARLS Second of that name lately Proclaimed by the favour and grace of GOD KING OF GREAT BRITAIN FRANCE AND IRELAND DEFENDER OF THE TRUE FAITH THE LAWFUL HEIR OF THE CROWN FROM THE VERY DAY OF THE DEATH OF CHARLS THE FIRST HIS FATHER OF GLORIOUS MEMORY If David hath greatly rejoyced even unto exultation I leave it to you to judge whether this King hath not had reason to rejoyce too his fortune having been like unto that of David Although we have been told that when the first news came to him of it no kinde of alteration upon his face nor any motion in his spirit was observed
