increase and multiply you and establish my couenant with you A most happie performance that now we haue hope for feare truth for doubt righteousnesse for iniustice peace for warre right heires for wrong as firre trees for thorns Esay 55.13 and mirrhe trees for nettles Now are our fairest riuers in the South the faire streames turned hither in righteousnesse with ioy and honour to themselues and all iust men Lord thou hast turned our captiuitie as riuers in the South How did the ioyes of good subiects hearts sparkle out at their eies attending to the Kings comming as the Angel of the Lord to leade his people The King came first and his Angel came after as the hawke doth flie by thy wisdome Iob. 39.29 stretching out his wings towards the South It is written of the South-winde that his originall is in the North but when he passeth the coasts of the Zodiacke towards the South there to meet the sunne as the sole Lord of all those beautifull passages then is he whot and moist and yeeldeth power to all the nurseries of Nature to worke from the worme that creepeth to the bird which flieth If I doe not mistake the likenesse this is a likely president of the faire arriuall here of the King and the Kings sonne to the gladnesse of Nature and Art and Grace and to the common solace of poore and rich both naked wormes and feathered fowles Now all true subiects eased of all their feares may sing vnder their owne vines Loe how our clothes are warme Iob. 37.17 when he maketh the earth quiet through the South winde In what corners are those to be found which doe not reioyce in this ioy Henrie Prince of Wales is our Meridian field richly mantled with pleasant varieties of high honours His Father Apollo the King hath watered him his excellent father his God his high father hath increased him in holy infusions of grace and rich ornaments of the purest Discipline Now is the Prince his Court more seemely to behold then the bankes of the Muses all bright and famous with faire fountaines of knowledge all garnished as a mellifluous garden where many Bees doe gather hony vnder the Master Bee Lord of the soyle Behold the smell of my sonne is as the smell of a field Some write of the magnanimous aduentures of the Holy Land Mantuan Sotterus Eusebius Faber some of the spatious propagation of the Gospel through Ethiopia Egypt India and Grecia in the time of the Apostles some of the wide spreading of the triumphant banner of Iesus Christ in these latter times among the Arabians Persians and Indians but who can write wherefore God hath giuen such iudgements to the King and such righteousnesse to the Kings sonne Psal 72. this were worth the Penne of a ready writer This wee all ought to doe to offer vp our hands and hearts and all our aid to the King and the Kings sonne The Gospel is yet in bondage in our neighbour countries and states remote and there is no Prince in the world of more assurance for Gods assistance Psal 144.1 to teach his hands to warre and his fingers to fight There is none more likely to helpe by the smell of his field all zealous pietie and resolute integritie that euery confident heart may say to him who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdome for such a time In my weake meditations I haue found that God hath fowen his diuers kinds of seeds in three sundry fields in Paradise in the wide World and in the soule of man In Paradise a pure man in the world a pure word and in the soule of man pure seedes of grace In Paradise the first man Adam was made a liuing soule 1. Cor. 15.45 without hang-bies of originall sinne or in-bred hostilities of strong preuaile Therefore the complaint of mans fall is two-fold one against mans securitie the other against the Serpents enuie whilest Adam slept the enuious man sowed tares Matth. 13. Thus was man corrupt both within and without in his body and his soule when the pure Adam receiued in the impure sting of sinne as Ishbosheth liuing receiued in his sleepe his deaths wound 2. Sam. 4.6 Man did not continue in honour but became like vnto the beasts which perish Psal 49.12 In the second field the Lord hath bestowed his liuely word of which the great sower saith himselfe For this cause was I borne Ioh. 18.37 Esay 1.9 Rom. 9.29 and for this cause came I into the world Therefore well may we say Except the Lord had reserued seed for vs wee had beene as Sodome and like to Gomorrha Here then among many indifferent questions of the Astrologers I reioyce much in this one to know where is the best influence of the heauens Many men haue many opinions and if it may please you to accept mine among them all I thinke the best is there where is a most plentifull prosemination of the word of God This is the sacred aspersion wherewith the most parts of our nation is copiously sprinckled Therefore Iacob shall reioyce and Israel shall be glad Psalme 14.7 This was the pleasant meate and drinke wherewith the King of the Prophets did cheere vp the hearts of his friends and his owne he shewed his word vnto Iacob his statutes and his iudgements vnto Israel he hath not dealt so with euery nation Psa 147 19 20 all people haue not had such wholesome influence This was Ecclesiae gloria circumfluens vbertim mala superans Pellican the satiable riches of the Church Thus the mercy and kindnesse of the Lord doth follow vs hee maketh our cuppe to ouerflowe Yea this blessed influence filleth innumerable orchards full of figge-trees Christian consciences full of the fauours delights of God The word of God is a fig tree worth keeping and tending where we haue our daily nutriment and comfort Prou. 27.8 For he which keepeth the figge-tree shall eate the fruit thereof But shall I speake what I haue heard from the clamours of the wisdome of the world That this great allowance of the word of God is abundant and superfluous To such I haue offered a bold some will say a blinde answere That their wisedom is the sooles bable which hath said in his heart There is no God Psal 14.1 Excellentia regiminis Christiani non est ex opinatione politica sed ex ordinatione dominica dirigenda Jac. de Valen. Aqua nobilis ex frigore saepe gelatur There are too many wise men of the West which hold opinion of common preaching as some Philosophers doe of the light about the Southerne pole That as by the absence of the Sunne there the aire is not hindred in his light so by the want of ordinary preaching religion is not darkened in her beautie Circa polum Australem per absentiam solis non defieit lumen conueniens ad vitam felicem Indeed some to compare
