A88385	A brief exposition upon the second Psalme. Wherein wee have that time modestly pointed at, (by the favourable direction of that significant then in the 5th v.) in which the father will in wrath to the (professing, refined) rulers of the world set his Sonne on Sion. And a description of the work the Son then performeth, both by his spirit, and his mysticall body. With usefull observations thereupon. Tending to clear up the scope of the whole Psalme. With application to our times. / By William Llanvædonon of P.H.C.	Llanvædonon, William, of P.H.C.	1655 (1655)	Wing L2619; Thomason E844_9; ESTC R210352	60,620	69

like a piece of the truest valour that ever drew sword like himselfe sends forth his Heralds commands voluntary submission or else gives the challenge le ts them know there 's no way but death perishing from the way of blessednesse 17 That it's the greatest folly and madnesse for the Rulers and Judges of the world to oppose and fight against this praying people for they are not onely against them but the Father the Son and the spirit and all the Host of Heaven are against them As Elisha said They that be with us are more then they that be against us there 's a greater and a stronger power with them than the worldly Rulers can raise against them although they could bring up Hell it selfe from the deep to serve them 18 What a sad account will those be able to give who joyne and strike hands with these perverse Rulers in this day also those who have not heart nor courage to stand up for the Son against these Rulers and their wickednesses For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words of him shall the Son of man be ashamed when he shall come in his owne glory and in his fathers and of the holy Angels What shame and confusion of face will cease upon them in that day If ever there was a time wherein Christ expects his friends should stand by him and plead for him it 's now in this day spoken of in the Text wherein the Rulers take such pernicious counsell against him and those that forsake him now he will not owne before his father for we see at the latter end of the Psalme those that kisse not the Son submit not to him and come under his yoke perish from the way of blessednesse they shall receive their portion with those that shall come at the last day crying Lord Lord open unto us and Christ shall professe he knoweth them not The third and last part of our work is To consider the manner how Christ manageth his work in this day and that is with much love and pitty to the soules of men exhorting them to a timely repentance promising blessednesse to all that hearken to him Although he hath separated his Sion from the world and made it the Hill of Gods Holinesse a fit seat for himselfe yet he cannot be contented to goe with a sword in one hand to execute his fathers Decree but he must have a Pardon in the other to bestow upon all those that will submit and come in unto him Be wise now therefore O ye Kings be instructed ye Judges of the earth Serve the Lord with feare and rejoyce with trembling Kisse the Son lest he be angry and ye perish from the way when his wrath is kindled but a little Blessed are all they that put their trust in him In these words we have 1 An Exhortation 2 Motives to provoke men to hearken to it In the Exhortation we have 1 The Persons exhorted and they are chiefly the Kings and Judges of the earth those very Kings that set themselves and those very Judges or Rulers that take counsell together against the Lord and his anointed But though the Exhortation be chiefly to the Kings and Judges yet not exclusive to others for we find in the last clause of the Psalme Blessednesse promised to all them that put their trust in the Son which ALL takes in more then the Kings and Rulers yea ALL men of what rank and condition soever that put their trust in him shall be blessed and it must of necessity follow the Exhortation is of as large an extent as that ALL for the Promise is brought in as a Motive to provoke to a hearty embracing of and hearkening to it 2 Here 's the matter of the Exhortation which is 1 To get a true and an exact knowledge of God and his wayes in this their day Which is held out unto us in two expressions WISEDOME and INSTRVCTION Be WISE now therefore O ye Kings O you prophane Kings that having a whores forehead and a face of brasse without shame and remorse have stood up and set your selves publickly wilfully with all your might against-me-without a cause to keep me from my rightfull inheritance and to prevent my entring my possessions the Copy-hold my father hath given me Be wise now THEREFORE wherefore why you have heard the Decree of my father the Justice and Equity of my right and Title to my Kingdome I have askt it and he hath given it me who hath right and power to give it he that made it hath given it to me And my father having set me on Sion the Hill of his Holinesse I am prepared to encounter you I will waite your leasure no longer therefore now be wise know consider what you have to doe if you resist and stand it out there 's no way but perishing and death but if you submit your selves unto and put your trust in me I will blesse you make you really happy here 's life and death set before you be wise now in your choyce that you may live and not dye Be wise with the wisedome of God wherein is life for why will ye dye You are Kings and it 's a hard lesson for you to be willing to part with your great possessions and become Beggars but learne it and you shall find wisedome it selfe in such seeming folly Whatsoever any man forsakes for my sake I will give it him againe in my Kingdome with great advantage saith Christ Be wise know and consider the great Jehovah my father and what he hath already done for me know and consider me also what I am to doe to and in the world as the will of my father in this day of his great wrath and fury Be INSTRVCTED ye Judges of the earth Ye Judges you that have set your selves above the rank and your feet on the neck of Kings that would be accounted repairers of the breaches and restorers of the paths to dwell in and yet take counsell against the Lord and his anointed to break their bands asunder and cast away their cords from you you Judges that carry it so underhand and secretly against me and mine while you seem to be for me pretending a kisse when you intend a blow under the fifth rib that you need not strike a second time Come you Judges be INSTRVCTED know the wickednesse and folly of your malicious wayes they will yield you nothing but vanity and vexation of spirit the best fruit they can present you with is torment for this Proverb shall be taken up against you The Lord hath broken the staffe of the wicked and the Scepter of the Rulers yea Tophet is ordained of old yea for the King it is prepared he hath made it deepe and large the pile thereof is fire and much wood the wrath of the Lord like a stream of brimstone doth kindle it ye Judges of the EARTH though you have set your selves in the highest forme and will
