for Scripture would scaffold and hold them up till they expunge and blot out the other But He was a second-Table man as well as a first and loved not to part God's conjunctions He knew that God spake Exod. 20.1 in the Preface went through both Tables and reached to the end of the Commandments He had respect with David Psa 119.6 to all Gods Commands and could not sin against That first Commandment with promise Eph. 6.2 And if he did contract any dirt and soil'd his name at the beginning of the late unhappy differences I hope he hath wiped it off in the close and his late actings have more than compounded for it when his Zeal for His most Excellent Majesty's restitution was such as transported him beyond his ordinary temper and he was like one of the men of Judah 2 Sam 19.43 whose words at the bringing back of King David are said to be fiercer than the words of the Men of Israel And let me tell you further As he was a Loyal Subject to His Majesty so he was a very observant and dutiful Son of the Church of England He durst and did own her for a Beauty even in her blackest dayes and gave a charitable ear to that Apologetical desire of the Spouse Cant. 1.6 Look not upon me because I am black because the Sun hath looked upon me The first time that ever I had the happiness to hear him speak it was in her defence and his Arguments were of that force that they did no little execution I have heard him an Assertor of her Rites and Ceremonies even then when to acknowledge her a Mother was the next way to be disinherited And to this let me add He had a singular and peculiar kindness for the Liturgy of this Church He looked on it with admiration and loved it as that which was indited by the Spirit of God Rev. 17 6. and written with the blood of the Martyrs of Jesus This devout and rare composed piece as the judicious Doctor Hamond evinceth it to be in the whole frame Pract. Cate. and all the particulars of it rather gathered than lost in his esteem by all the decryings and deluding artifices of empty and pernicious men He was herein as fixed and immovable as St. Paul Act. 24.14 After the way which they call heresie so worship I the God of my fathers But that we may look towards a Conclusion give me leave only to instance in some Graces some spiritual Talents which he had so improved as to serve and bestead him in his sickness and death and I ha' done 1. Humility and self-denial He humbled himself under the mighty hand of God 1 Pet. 5.6 And would often acknowledge himself less than the least of mercies and deserving the greatest of punishments He was much of that penitential temper with those in Ezra Thou Ezra 9.13 O Lord hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve He was frequently taking a comparative view of his sins and sufferings and still blessing God for the disproportion that he suffered so little who had sinn'd so much Job 42.6 He abhorred himself in dust and ashes subscribing to the equity of that penal Statute All must die for that all have sinned Rom. 5.12 and owning every thing out of hell for mercy 2. Contempt of the world which in its abundance and beauty could not court his affections to over-love it His thoughts were so abstracted from it as is rarely seen in a person of his condition O death how bitter is the remembrance of thee to a man that liveth at rest in his possessions Eccl. 41.1 unto the man that hath nothing to vex him and that hath prosperity in all things He had many smiles from the world his estate was a very Oglio of outward happiness and yet his heart was much above them all knowing he was shortly to array himself Ch. 12.1 like the woman in the Revelation and put on the Sun he easily trod the Moon and all sublunary excellencies under his feet 3. Patience Invincible patience keeping in an even and equal temper of spirit in some extremities His sickness gave him a hot charge which he received with as much courage without the least ruffling of spirit or disorder of the inner man The assault was sharp yet not short neither it was of some continuance a dying life for some months together Hor. Car. l. 1. Od. 37. Deliberatâ morte ferocior Such a Trial would have borne down a hansome sort of Resolution and been an over-match for more than an ordinary patience He was in Hezekiah's condition Isa 38.12 Dum ad huc ordirer succîdit me He will cut me off with pining sickness from day even till night wilt thou make an end of me His patience and himself ended both together 4. Resignation of spirit In that he was very free not like the rich fool in the Gospel Luk. 12.20 that must have his soul taken from him otherwise he would never have parted with it Out of the depths he called unto God Psa 130.1 and in the depths of his sorrows when the waters were going over his soul He called with Peter Mat. 14.28 Lord bid me come unto thee on the water I was often with him and often saw him as it were with his Life in his hand ready to make a surrender of it into his hands that gave it He was a Good Servant and feared not to come to a reckoning his faithfulness made him willing to account which I doubt not but he hath now done with joy and is treated with the welcome of the Text. His Lord said unto him Well done thou good and faithful servant thou hast been faithful over a few things I will make thee Ruler over many things Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.
