We complaine that Iudgement is turned backward and that Righteousnesse cannot enter What should we doe then but pray that God would give the King his judgements and his Righteousnesse And if we cannot yet say as that Bishop resolved Austins Mother in the case of him her Sonne That a King of so many prayers as have hitherto been made cannot possibly miscarry yet let us resolve to adde and to adde so many prayers as may if it be possible put it to an impossibility that He should miscarry or that the great businesses now before him should That so His Majesty judging with Righteousnesse and his people obeying with cheerfullnesse The Mountains may bring forth peace to All and All may bring Glory to God in advancing the Kingdom of our Lord Iesus Christ I know this uses to be a day of annoynting the King with praises I beleeve we shall doe a more acceptable service both to God and His Majesty If we turne Praises into Prayers and our Encomion of him into a cry to Heaven for him he hath more of the Subject in him that commends the King to God then he that commends him among men I know likewise that this uses to be a day of Rejoycing in and for the King What shall I say May I not say as the Story tells us in Ezra 3. 12. When the foundation of the second Temple was laid The voyce of the shout could not be heard from the voyce of weeping Have we not all cause to take up a Lamentation for our King this day Ought not our Harpe this day as Iob speakes to be turned into mourning and our Organ into the voyce of them that weep Ought we not with that Mourner in the Psalm to eat ashes like bread and to mingle our drinke with teares When God makes a change in times it becomes us to make a change also The Storke in the Heavens the Turtle the Crane and the Swallow These will reprove us if we know not the judgement of the Lord Ier. 8. 7. At such a time as this we as Solomon Eccles 2. 2. may say of Laughter it is madd and of mirth what doth it Times of trouble are times of Sorrow Then there is nothing now musicall but sighes no Song in Tune but a Lamentation Yea I hope it will not be distastfull I know it is seasonable at this time to say even unto the King and unto the Queene as the Prophet Ieremiah directs in the 13. of his Prophesie 18. Say unto the King and unto the Queene sit downe humble your selves I will not adde that which followes I have no Commission for it for your Principalities shall come downe even the Crowne of your glory But thus much I may say to the King and to the Queene humble your selves sit downe for the glory and beauty of your Principalities are very much darken'd and obscur'd even the Crowne of your glory O The darknesse that is upon Ireland O the darknesse and the death that sits upon the face of this your Kingdome of England Therfore it were seasonable to say unto the King and to the Queene if present and I shall say it of them though absent Sit downe and humble your selves for your Principalities are much fallen from their former beauty yea I would say thus much more unto the King and unto the Queene humble your selves sit downe that your principalities may be restor'd to their former beauty even the Crowne of your Glory When Princes are humbled their Principalities cannot be long unsetled That which the Apostle Iames speakes concerning all is as true concerning Kings as any Humble your selves under the mighty hand of God Ye Mighty ones that Ye may be exalted in due time Let us all humble our selves under the mighty hand of God let us in stead of exulting and rejoycing tremble before God in confessing how We and our King our Princes our Nobles our Magistrates and our Prophets have all sin'd before our God and have therefore given him just cause to cast downe this whole Principalitie even the Crowne of all our glory If we shall this day throughly plow up our hearts and going forth weeping beare this precious Seed we may at the next day of this Solemnity come hither againe with joy and bring our Sheaves of Comfort with us Against that Feast I hope Christ will worke this miracle for us little lesse then a miracle can do it turne our water into wine And give us beauty for Ashes the garment of praise for this spirit of Heavinesse FINIS Errata in some Copies Pag. 5 l 12. for Suam reade Suum● Pag 14 l 30. for Blood reade Bloody
