A HEARTIE PRAYER In a needfull time of trouble THE SERMON Preached at THEOBALDS before his Maiestie and the Lords of the Priuie Councell an houre before the Death of our late Soueraigne KING IAMES On Sunday March 27. By D. PRICE Deane of Hereford then in Attendance and now Chaplaine in Ordinarie to his MAIESTIE IER 30.7 Alas for that day was great so that none was like it it was euen the time of IACOBS trouble but he is saued out of it LONDON Printed by M. FLESHER for IOHN GRISMAND and are to be sold at his shop at the Signe of the Gun in Paules Alley 1625. TO THE KINGS MAIESTIE ROyall Master Your gracious aspect to my poore endeuors often presented in your religious presence hath encouraged mee to this Dedication of my last seruice to your blessed Father and first to your Maiestie for the whole world hath no greater Patronage of goodnesse then your selfe and our daily bread and hourely breath serueth vs to beseech the Almightie that you long be the gracious Patrone and Patterne of Religion That I presume to offer it vnto your Maiestie in this time of our iust cause of ioy wherein the Lillies and Roses the Oliue and Vine are conioyned I excuse it by the Pattern I see in Mount Thabor wherein our blessed Sauiour when he shewed his Disciples a glympse of his glory in his Transfiguration hee seasoned their Soules rapt vp in those vnspeakable ioyes with the remembrance of his Passion What this is is like Beniamin the birth of sorrow and of so much sorrow to me as had almost sequestred my Soule from my Body The hand of Heauen that hath wiped away our teares keepe vs long and long from such occasion of tears and Crowne your Royall Person and Gracious Queene with the blessings of Goodnesse which is the continuall Prayer of your Maiesties most humble Chaplaine DANIEL PRICE The Sermon at Theobalds an houre before the death of King IAMES PSAL. 118.25 Saue now I beseech thee O Lord O Lord I beseech thee send now prosperitie THE first fruits of Sinne are Shame and Sorrow and euer since Sinne brought in Death Death the lodge of all mens liues driueth out Sinne and triumpheth ouer Sinners Looke on the foure first Fathers of the World Adam signifieth earthy Abel mourning vanitie Enosh sorrow Kenan lamentation and euer since all times and all places were and are as this time and place representeth vnto vs a time of mortalitie and a Region of death in the shadow of Death Nonne haec est regio mortuorum saith Ambrose Ambr. vbi vmbra mortis janua mortis vincula mortis corpus mortis The present Cloud wherein wee are inueloped and stand all as an amazed poore flocke of sheep beholding a sauage Wolfe worrying our Royall Shepheard looking vpon the wrestling of our Royall Iacob he that is spiritus oris nostri Christus Domini the very breath of our nostrils the Lords Anointed now in Combat with the last enemy that shall be destroyed the contemplation of it striketh vs with a terrible terrour our sighes teares and prayers witnes it and vnlesse the tender mercy of our God whereby the day springeth from on high doe now visit vs to giue light to vs that sit in darknesse and in the shadow of death wee shall finde that our strange neglect of the Sabbath the Lords day doth portend our fatall flight vpon this Sabbath day But Lord whatsoeuer shall become of vs the poore sheepe of thy pasture O looke vpon thy Royall Seruant O hide not thy face from thine Anointed saue now and heare our gratious Soueraigne O King of heauen now hee calleth on thee now that the Angell of Death strugleth with him let the Angell of the Couenant blesse him and as the Angell of Death striueth with him so let the Angell of the Couenant striue for him and free his pretious soule from all paine all sorrow all aduersitie and present it to thy diuine Maiestie without spot or wrinckle O Lord God saue our King mercifully heare vs now we call vpon thee Pitifully behold the sorrowes of our hearts Fauorably with mercy heare our prayers Both now and euer vouchsafe to heare vs O Christ Gratiously heare vs O Christ gratiously heare vs O Lord Christ O Sonne of God O Lambe of God that takest away the sinnes of the world mediate with thy blessed Father if it bee possible that this cup may passe from him or else that his gratious soule may be bound vp in the bundle of life to liue for euermore with thee in glory In the time of Ieremy it was the style of mourning for Royall Personages Alas Alas Ier. 22.18 for that noble Prince wee may take vp that Alas Alas How lately haue wee celebrated Dauids diem solennitatis Psal 77.2 our sacred Soueraignes Inauguration on which day Thursday before his Maiesties death hee that crowneth the yeare with good things crowned the Crowne of our Head our Royall King with an especiall measure of grace in manifesting his heartie and deuout profession of the Faith and Protestant truth which hee had liued in and maintained and resolved to dye in desiring vs all that were present to beare witnesse sealing that resolution with the blessed Sacrament after which diuine repast his soule was setled in so ioyfull a repose as that all worldly content could not compare with it But Alas that day dies solennitatis Psal 81.3 is become dies tribulationis and as Ieremy spake Lam. 2.22 in this solemne day our terrours are round about vs and this Lords day is the day of the Lords anger And therefore let euery sorowfull and faithfull heart pray heartily and cry mightily into heauen Saue now I beseech thee O Lord O Lord I beseech thee send now prosperitie We need not now to call for Sorrow before she come it is now the time that the Church hath allotted to eate the sowre hearbs of repentance in Lent that we may the more sauourly relish the sweet Passover of Easter it is the spirituall Seed-time which ought to bee waterish and wee are wont to be content with a wet Spring to be sure of a ioyfull Haruest Our true sorrow is Repentance which is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 an after-wit and after-wisdome wherein when wee see how we haue betraid our selues into the hands of Satan we may iustly wish that the Heauens aboue would weepe with vs the Earth lament the Rocks rend the Mountaines eccho groanes and riuers run with teares and indeed I had prouided by Gods good hand such a portion of food for this daily bread and would haue endeavored by his Spirit to haue watered this Gedeons fleece with that deaw of Heauen For as Ezekiel describing the Temple the Image of Gods Church calleth it Ezek. 48.35 Iehovah Shammah 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the Lord is there So all our Prayers and preaching are onely to stir vp these graces of God in your holy deuotion

and cryeth out still 2. The Disciples her back-frinds they would haue her sent backe Send her away she cryeth after vs and yet shee is not retarded but continueth her calling 3. Our Sauiour answereth her and reiecteth her as not capable of any good from him I am not sent but to the lost sheepe of Israel shee a Canaanite yet neither Disciples nor Master can beat backe her Faith shee followeth and falleth downe and worshippeth and cryeth Lord helpe me 4. Our Sauiour replieth in the most bitter Phrase that euer hee vsed to any poore Suiter It is not meete to take the childrens bread and to giue it to dogs Mat. 6. The daughter possessed with a Deuill the mother accounted a dog and holy things not to be giuen to dogs this had bin enough to haue blasted her hope and rooted vp her faith and haue confounded her confidence and wounded her distressed soule and silenced her importunity yet behold she that had all these discouragements replieth and by her reply crowneth her confidence with a blessed conquest Truth Lord but the dogs eate of the crummes that fall from their Masters table She wrought a miracle vpon her Sauiour made the deafe eares to heare and the dumbe tongue to speake to tongue and eares shee cryed as Christ to the eyes of the blind Ephata bee opened heare and answer my petition and grant my request O how well pleased is the Lord with the importunity of his seruants when they cry day and night and double their ingeminated obsecrations Looke vpon blessed Hezekias his manner of Prayer Isay 37.17 Encline thine eares O Lord and heare open thine eyes O Lord and see heare and when he lay vpon his death-bed chattering like a swallow mourning like a Doue I am depriued of the residue of my yeares I said I shall not see the Lord euen the Lord in the Land of the liuing hee knew that no balme in Gilead no vnguent of the Apothecaries no skill of Physitians no fruits of the fields no flowers of the garden no mineralls of the ground Esay 38. could giue the least allay vnto his sicke and sorrowfull soule but onely the Lord whom therefore hee remembreth and sixe times in his Prayer repeateth that sacred name of the Lord. It is obserued that God himselfe doth seeme to be pleased to vse often an ingemination of the names of those he best loued in Scripture Gen. 22.11 Exod. 3.4 1 Sam 3.10 as when he called Abraham Abraham Moses Moses and Samuel Samuel in a like manner we ought to be well pleased and much delighted in the blessed remembrance and inuocation of his name And sure when the hart is full of God the tongue will not refraine to talke of him they that rarely thinke on God shew how miserable their estate of grace is If the Lord be not in our hearts wee are godlesse if in our hearts without ioy we are hopelesse If wee reioyce in him and speake not of him we are shamefully thanklesse If he be in our harts in our tongues in our ioy coldly and perfunctorily we are negligently faithlesse and therefore as wee must thinke on the Lord alwayes so speake on him often and when we pray to him doe it earnestly and zealously in faith without wauering in confidence without doubting in perseuerance without desisting crying out as Ionas Mariners Ion. 1. Wee beseech thee O Lord wee beeseech thee or as Dauid here I beseech thee O Lord O Lord I beseech thee To land this point remēber that the Church hath appointed vs to pray in al time of our tribulation in all time of our wealth in the houre of death In all time of our tribulation we are ready to pray but in the time of our wealth and prosperity we are strangers to deuotion yet in the time of thy wealth and health remember tribulation remember in the daies of thy peace thy visitation remember thy houre of death for when ryot hath beene master of mis-rule and turned sobriety the good steward out of doore and Intemperance an vnbidden guest hath got in and defiled all the roomes of thy body Nature like a good-huswife would willingly cleanse the house and desires the helpe of Physicke as a Scauinger to make cleane the roomes but alas she findeth that sinne lyeth like a dog at the doore and death the cruell Serjeant threatens to serue an extent vpon the whole house there is no such meanes to quit thee of thy disease and of thy direfull enemy as prayer it is Dauids Antidote but thou must take it fasting and bee sure to take it warme it must bee feruent prayer and take it not onely morning and euening but take it as a continuall Cordiall and cry mightily Haue mercy haue mercy Spare me O Lord spare me O Lord I beseech thee to heare me good Lord I beseech thee to heare me And so being stedfast and vnmoueable and alwayes abounding in this worke of the Lord thou shalt finde that thy labour shall not be in vaine in the Lord. And so I haue ended my third step the manner how hee earnestly implored I will mend my pace for it is the day of our Royall Iacobs wrestling and I feare as Elisha heard the sound of Iehorams feet following the bloody messenger sent to take away his life so my heart trembleth to thinke it and my cares tingle to heare the heauie and sad approach of pale Death entring into this Kingly Palace O that we could with Elisha looke heedfully now this messenger this murtherer commeth 2.

Laer. de vit Philos standing on the shore agreed with certaine Fisher-men for the next draught in which there being a rich and precious peece of Plate they not agreeing whose by right it was they went to consult the Oracle the Oracle enioyned them to send it to the wisest man aliue they thereupon sent it to Thales hee disclaimed it and sent it to another who also refused it till hauing passed through many who all denyed that attribute of the wisest to belong to them at length they bring it to Solon
