do I lift up my soul To which we may adde the lifting up of the eyes to heaven according to the example of our Saviour John 17. cap. 11. 41. Mat. 14. 19. Other unseemly postures of the hands eyes face and the like hath no example in Scripture and even mens hiding or covering of the face at publick prayer seems to be against the order of the Apostle and the then custome of the Churches 1 Cor. 11. 7. for by the head there is not meant the hairy scalp but the face both by several circumstances in it and the acceptation of the word elsewhere 2 Sam. 15. 30. David wept as he went and had hishead covered and all the people that were with him covered every man his head weeping as they went c. here by the head must be understood the face after the manner of mourners as on the contrary that of our Saviour to his Disciples in token of joy lift up your heads must be meant accordingly And the face being the seat of shame the head must be so taken Ier. 14. 3 4. they were ashamed and confounded they covered their heads c. unto which some passages out of Tertullian might be given by way of confirmation Now for the better reception of this latter part of the Primates judgement concerning our outward reverence in the publick worship of God whether at hearing of the Word or Prayer so much neglected in these times I shall here adde what I find in the foresaid Mr. Arthur Hildersham in his Lectures upon Iohn 4. In the 26. Lecture he speakes much for the outward reverence of Gods publick worship in the Church viz. That we should neither come into that place nor go out of it as ye would in or out of a danceing-schoole But in our very comeing in and going out and whole outward carriage we should give some signification of the reverence that we bear to this place and that we do indeed account it the house of God Exhorts men to come to the beginning of the then publick worship or before it begins and tarry till all be done to be present at the Administration of Baptisme and at the blessing pronounced by Gods Ministers Affirmes that there was nothing then done in Gods publick worship among us but it was done by the Institution and Ordinance and Commandement of the Lord the particulars of which he mentions In his 27. Lecture he exhorts to a reverend gesture in prayer kneeling as the fittest or standing not sitting And commending the reading of the Scriptures in publick he saith At the hearing of the word read some further gesture and outward signification of reverence is to be used then is required at the hearing of the Sermon which he confirmes by proofes out of Scripture and reasons too large to be related here But he thus concludes viz. So you see the custome of our Churches in sitting bare while the Word is read is grounded upon good reason and warrant from the word of God and such as it well becomes every one of Gods people to conform themselves unto Lect. 29. he complains of that irreverence thus Some will not vouchsafe to be bare at the reading of the Word some will be bare at the Psalmes not at the Chapters and if they could justly pretend infirmity for it they were to be excused but they will not be bare many of them so long as the Text is in reading yea every youth and boy in our Congregations are wont to be covered while the Word is read But the chief abuse is the neglect of kneeling in prayer many that will kneel at their own private prayers which they make at their coming into the Church can never be seen to kneel at the common and publick prayers Many that will kneel at the Lords prayer will kneel at no other wherein though the Lords prayer be in sundry respects more excellent then any other yet there is as much reason we should kneel at any other prayer as at it for the reason of our kneeling is not the excellency of the words used in prayer but the reverence and duty we owe to the person we pray unto c. This saith that worthy and judicious Writer Mr. Hildersham I can but wonder upon what pretence such a man could be silenced as he wrot himselfe to the Pri●ate Anno 1630. I conclude only with an exhortation to decency and a reverent comelinesse in our solemne meetings that devotion and prudence may kisse each other that while the soule is lifted up in prayer the body may be humbled and the whole man presented to God as an acceptable sacrifice that unity and uniformity in doctrine and worship may be found among us and that we may all be of one heart and one mind Consider what hath been said and the Lord give us understanding and moderation in all things A CHARACTER of Bishop Bedell late Bishop of Kilmore in Ireland UPon the occasion of publishing this Sermon of his on Revel 18. 4. I have thought fit to give this exemplary character of him Somewhat of his life is already extant within that of Sir Henry Wotton's the enlargement of which I leave to the prudence of others onely thus much in brief He was Fellow of Emmanuel Colledge in Cambridge where he was one of the eight that commenced Batchellours of Divinity of that house in one yeare whereof Bishop Hall and Doctor Ward were two between whom and him there was a continuall intercourse of Letters to their last From that Colledge and Vniversity he had that Character given him of learning and prudence that he was chosen to go with the Embassadour Sir Henry Wotton unto Venice What the fruits of his some yeares being there produced upon Padre Paulo and other learned men sufficiently appears by the testimony given of him in a letter of the Embassador's hereunto annexed The Interdict of Venice wrot by the foresaid Authour he translated out of Italian into Latin for whose use he also translated the book of Common Prayer into Italian and made an English Grammar which I have seen writ with his own hand After his return from Venice were wrot those learned Letters of his to Mr. Wadesworth who at the same time going with the Embassadour into Spain had been withdrawn to the See of Rome whose temper and meeknesse of stile to an Apostate I wish were so far exemplary with some Writers among our selves as to abate that heat and bitternesse which hath broke forth in matters of lesse consequence At his Benefice of horningesh-Horningesh-earth near St. Edm. Bury in Suffolk he continued long in great esteem sometimes chosen by the Diocesse to be a member of the Convocation Upon the death of Sir William Temple Provost of the Colledge in Dublin the late Primate wrot earnestly to him to accept of it being unanimously chosen by the Fellowes During his abode there he performed the duty of the Catechist preached a Lecture Sermon once a week in
