the right Pole of the beatifical Vision and without which we must infallibly expect to split against the Rocks of Eternal Perdition therefore this Pious Prince did think it the greatest Character of his Glory to be truly Religious towards God and to preserve the Honour of the Divine Majesty in his own Soul because in a pure Conscience Gods Face is to be seen and no where else on Earth It is the Mountain of Transfiguration where we may see the Kingdom of God This is the only Isle Patmos where are the Visions and Revelations of the Son of Man It is the Garden God walks in It is the Temple that the Holy Ghost dwells in the Golden Pot the hidden Manna is laid up in it It is Gideon's Fleece which all the Dew of Heaven falls on for he that hath a pure Heart and clear Hands washed not in Water but Innocency may with Holy David compass Gods Altar their Walks are in a Wood dropping Honey their Dwellings on a Mountain of Myrrh and Lodging on a Bed of Spices We read in Holy Writ that the Sun and Moon speak loud their sound is gone out into all the Earth but yet a holy and virtuous Life speaks louder the sound of it is heard in Heaven and causeth Joy among the Angels The sound of it also goes out to the Earth and fills the Mouths of Men with Gladness and Rejoycing It is the manifestation of Grace and Vertue which makes the Lord to be admired in them who fear him This opens every ones Eyes and causes all to confess that God is in them of a Truth practis'd Piety is the most perswading Oratory to Piety and Godliness and all Vertue They who live in the unfruitful Works of Darkness dishonour their Maker it is only the Trees of Righteousness which Glorifie him so saith our Saviour Herein is my Father glorified when you bring forth much Fruit. I need not mention Abraham's Faith nor Job's Patience Elias's Zeal David's Uprightness or Moses's Meekness these things are writ for our Learning not only for our remembrance and speculation but for our practice also and imitation Every Grace and every Virtue of a Christian is a real Sermon to convince the World of its Impiety The Pious Mans Devotions confute Atheistical Prophaneness The Chast Mans Behaviour teaches the wanton Modesty and the Sober Mans Carriage declaims against Excess and bespeaks Sobriety to the Intemperate The Meek Mans Conversation preaches Mercy to the furious Ones and so it is the pious manifestation of Grace and Virtue for which Men bless God and the abundant Grace bestowed on our late Gracious Soveraign his admirable Courage Piety and Patience in the greatest Agony of his Sufferings and with earnest Prayer and Supplication desiring the dissolution of his Earthly Tabernacle speaks him the most Christian King and that Sanctity and Piety as Fruit did grow on this Royal Tree These were the Principles of his Piety and Religion on which this Mighty Monarch served God with Fasting and Prayer like Anna the Prophetess Night and Day in the Temple and with Fear and Reverence worshipped God in his Holy Sanctuary therefore praise waiteth upon him in the Gate for the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom a good understanding have all they that do thereafter For the knowledge of God is the Philosophers Stone in Divinity by it we may turn all events into Golden Advantages to our Souls This is the Knowledge that speeds our passage to Eternal Glory that is the shortest cut to Immortal Happiness and the truest Honour is inveloped in this rich Mantle of Wisdom in that it appears God himself is the Grand Teacher thereof Our Wise Solomon as a prudent Deputy under God and a worthy Successor of a Blessed Father served the God of his Father with a perfect Heart and a willing Mind and performed all things in order according to the commandment of David the man of God And 't is also the commendation of his late Majesty as of other good Kings Asa Jehosaphat Hezekiah and Josiah that they did that which was right in the Eyes of the Lord as did David their Father Now as all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for their good King Josiah should not the tide of Englands sorrow swell so high for Britain's Josiah King Charles the Second seeing the parallel consideration is as full of Equity and transforms us into Niobes making our Heads Rivers of Waters and our Eyes Fountains for continual Tears 2. His Princely Goodness to all his People is evidenced First In the rare Christian Grace of Humility though he was the fountain of Honour and advanced above others shining like the Sun in the lower Firmament bright with Rayes of Glory and Greatness yet he did not soar on the wings of Pride and Ambition either fondly to disdain the meanest of his Subjects or proudly to lord it over others nor yet did the Greatness of Majesty make him forget his Parentage or Mortality or to derive his Pedigree from the Off-spring of Death But this illustrious Prince as the Son of Wisdom and it is justified of her Children did know he was cast of the same Mould with those of a lower Species and though he did sit as a God in respect of Imperial Authority yet he must die like Man and rest also in the Bed of Silence and by necessary consequence not neglect holy and serious preparation for it Thus may we discover his Christian Piety by the Virgin-temper of Humility walking in the Steps of his Blessed Saviour and Redeemer beholding him from his Cradle at Bethlehem to his Cross at Jerusalem as a mirrour of Humility And this Pious Prince as a Noble Imitator of his Lord followed the Grand Exemplar of the Christian Religion who bids us learn of him to be meek and lowly therefore he was cloathed with Humility as the Apostle speaks and had it written in the Table of his Royal Heart God resisteth the proud but giveth grace to the Humble which now is consummated with Glory for he wants not the envied Crowns of this World having exchanged the shadows of an Earthly Kingdom for one Eternal in the Heavens wearing the Crown of Righteousness and Perseverance in a better World Secondly His admirable Patience or Long-suffering In Long-suffering sayes one of the Ancients the Lord doth inhabit This sublime Spirit indeed possessed the Royal Breast of his late Majesty which raised him above the ordinary Rank of Mankind in a truly Pious Patience under the greatest Sufferings His Christian Meekness Compassionate Kindness Tender-hearted Charity and Pious Patience against all injuries declare him not only one of the greatest Worthies of the English Nation but the Best of Kings and shews that Religion and Vertue as Fruit did grow on this Royal Tree We may without Sword or Fire become Martyrs if we have Patience in our Hearts For true Patience carries with it a singular property that Satan hath not the power
