To the HONOURABLE JOHN KELSY Major General of the County of Kent AND Governour of Dover Castle His much esteemed FRIEND SIR IT was the businesse of my Sermon to defend Magistrates and I hope it will be the businesse of Magistrates to defend my Sermon I know full well it shall stand in a worse place then the man in the Zodiack many daggers will be thrust into every part and therefore I humbly fly unto your Honour for Patronage and Protection And if you demand Quo jure I having no interest in you Intimacy with you Dependance upon you Expectation from you I must answer upon the best Title viz. Detur digniori which you are both as a publique Magistrate and as a private Christian I shall not bring this Sun of Truth to one who hath sore eyes and cannot abide the light nor present this glasse to a painted or spotted face which will not endure the sight Your Eagle eyes will bear these bright beams your Angels face can endure this clear and Crystall glasse which shews the whole proportion of a Magistrate a capite ad calcem Here you have his Head and that is of Gold I have said you are Gods Here you have his feet and they are of earth you shall die like men Many Magistrates like and love to hear of their Deity but not of their Mortality much lesse of their eternal Misery But you are well pleased with all being not proud of your Deity nor insensible of your Mortality nor afraid of your eternal Misery Were all Magistrates qualified with that Mercy and Meeknesse Humility and Holinesse Zeal and Severity they would so magnifie and beautifie that Office that as the Heathen said of vertue Omnes in amorem ejus traheret the work of Ministers would be both uselesse and needlesse as for pressing Duties to and praising the Dignities of Magistrates Antalcidas his Quis unquam vituperavit would be seasonable I know also I shall not tender this Present to a rugged and rigid Christian who can like nothing but what comes from one of his own Church but your sweet temper is known to all You do not expresse your self distant from them in your affection who do expresse themselves different from you in their opinion You can harbour love to their persons in your heart though you cannot harbour liking of their opinions in your head a most excellent pattern for all Magistrates Ministers and people fearing God whose great blot and blemish it is that if they have difference with people in their opinion they will have distance from them in their affection Magistrates will not do them justice Ministers will rail at and revile them in their publique Pulpits and Christians will slander them in their private meetings Pudet haec opprobria nobis Et dici potuisse non potuisse refelli My Brethren these things ought not so to be Jam. 3. 10. I speak unfeignedly without flattery had all Magistrates Ministers Souldiers Christians that Moderation and Discretion to bear one anothers burthens and so to fulfill the Law of Christ Gal. 6. 2. as you have I am confident that both certainly and suddenly would the Jesuite be defeated the Prophane silenced the Neuter convinced the Doubtfull resolved the Godly reconciled and all the honest party strengthened and we should live and love together as becomes the Professors of the Gospel You see Sir by what tenure my Sermon holds both in Capite and in Corde as you are a good Magistrate and a gracious Christian I beseech you do not sue it with a Writ of Ejection either out of your Protection as a Magistrate or Affection as a Christian by granting which request you shall much oblige him who esteems it his highest honour to be Your lowest Servant HENRY SYMONS From my Study in Southfleet Feb. 7. 1657. Psal 82. 6 7. I have said ye are Gods and all of you are children of the most High but ye shall dye like men and fall like one of the Princes TO spend or spin out time with the needless thred of curious enquiry Whether this be a Psalm of Asaph or for Asaph or whether it were composed in the reign of Jehosaphat or of David after the death of Saul would be as vain as those Cities who spent their time to know in which of them Homer was born or as they Who was the Author of that golden sentence 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 I am sure this Psalm was calculated for the Meridian of Israel and may serve for England or any other Nation in the world A Psalm of much use and in much use among the Jews when their Fab. in loc Judges rode Circuit and sate in Judicature This Psalm may fitly be stiled and titled The Judges Charge Where you have the Prophet the Crier to call the Court and the holy Ghost the Judge that gives the Charge As Judges give their Charge to men so God gives his Charge to Judges and as Judges expect men should attend to their Charge so God expects Judges should attend to his Charge And indeed this is a pretious and profitable Charge which might as well be written over our places of publick Judicature in letters of gold as those Verses are in Zant Hic locus odit amat punit observat honorat Nequitiam pacem crimina jura bonos It would be profitable to the Judges to have this Psalm sung before them alwaies before they go to their Judicatories Sim. de Muiz It is worthy to be learned of all Magistrates and to be put in all publick places of Judgement Fab. in loc But Vino vendibili why should I hang out a bush when the Wine sufficiently commends it self In the Psalm are these three parts observable 1. Ratio an Introductory reason 2. Oratio an Exhortatory oration 3. Peroratio a Conclusory praier First An Introductory reason by way of preamble to aw and amaze the hearts of Judges vers 1. God stands in the Congregation of the mighty and he is presens and praeses a God present yea the Lord President of all your Courts and Counsels He is Judex and Vindex Judge Paramount who will certainly and severely judge the Judges If Father Latymer was circumspect what he answered
