Such pleasing contentment and amiable grace God will send we trust to this sacred mariage Lastly this most happie mariage we hope to see furnished and accompanied with store and plentie of all blessings which Christ our Lord decreed in heauen the King our Soueraigne ratified in earth The most worthie Archbishop as a spirituall father in the royall Chapell consecrated and blessed and two learned and pious Bishops as the most loyall and louing friends of the honourable Bride and Bridegrome by their pithie exhortations and prayers in the sacred pulpit dedicated And so I conclude wishing vnto both your Excellencies that blessing which the Elders of Israel gaue vnto Boaz and Ruth The Lord make thy wife that commeth into thine house like Rachel and like Leah which both did build the house of Israel Ruth 4. 11.

they were charged that if their enemies came vpon them with clamour they should receiue them with silence and if they were silent to set vpon them with noyse so should man and wife with comfortable speech refresh one anothers sad silence and they should obserue that rule which Ambrose prescribeth to be followed in friendship Neque monitio aspera sit neque obiurgatio contumeliosa sicut enim adulationis expers amicitia sic aliena insolentiae Let not admonition be rigorous nor reprehension contumelious for as friendship is void of flatterie so is it farre off from insolencie 30.

And on the other side in this illustrious Prince that other saying wee doubt not but is fulfilled the King shall delight in thy beautie God hath we trust so prouided that they shall bee each to other a mutuall comforter In consilijs fidel●s in prosperis laeta in tristibus masta Ambr. lib. offic 1. 34. Faithfull in counsell to reioyce together when things are happy and greeue together when matters fall out somewhat heauie This louing coniunction and society is encreased by their consent in religion and piety This knot shall surely hold which not only a naturall affection but a spirituall disposition hath tyed Non vehementior est natura ad diligendum quam gratia For nature is not more forcible to beget loue then grace where one of them is there may be loue where the better there is greater loue where both there is a perfit loue as he again saith Ad cumulandam spectat beneuolentiam necessitud● gratiae A●b l. 1. offic c. 7.

With ioy and gladnes shall they be brought and shall enter into the Kings pallace 16. In steed of thy Fathers shall thy children be thou shalt place them for Princes in all the earth THE first signe and argument of the great glorie of this honourable spouse is the great presents and costly gifts which the rich citie of Tyrus should bring and solemnize this marriage with what the glory and wealth of this Citie was the Prophet sheweth Isai. 23. 8. Whose Merchants were Princes whose chapmen are the Nobles of the world what rich Merchandise Tyrus had hauing traficke and entercourse with al nations of the world Ezechiel setteth forth chap. 27. thoroughout Thus Tyrus among others should send their presents not so much to haue the fauour of the King as afterward they desired peace of King Herode because their country was maintained by the Kings land Acts 12. 20. for from thence they had their prouision of corne as to shew their voluntary subiection and congratulation in that solemnitie The like is prophesied Psalm 72. 10. The Kings of Tarshish and of the Istes shall bring presents the Kings of Sheba Seba shal bring gifts This was so accomplished when Hiram King of Tyrus sent presents vnto Salomon 1. King 4. 10.

Hereby is signified the prosperous and peaceable gouernment of Salomon who for his wisedome was honored and all countries adioyning yeelded obeysance vnto him not by compulsary subiection but by voluntary submission which sheweth that Kings then are most famous and prosper best when by iustice they mainteine tranquillitie at home and amity abroad not oppressing their subiects by tyrannie within nor encroaching vpon their neighbours by rapine and iniury without This was historically prophecied of Salomon In his daies shall the righteous flourish and abundance of peace They that dwell in the wildernes shall kneele before him his enemies shall licke the dust Psal. 72. 79. And this was fufilled accordingly 1. King 4. 24. Salomon ruled ouer all the Kings on the other side of the riuer and he had peace round about him on euery side hee had peace not by violent compulsion or fraudulent circumuention but rather by friendly contentment and as it were composition as Ambrose testifieth of Theodosius the Elder that clement Emperor Maluit sibi homines religione quam timore astringere c. de obit Theodos. He had rather bind men vnto him by the feare of religion then by a seruile condition Forren histories make honourable mention of Agesilaus the Lacedemonian and Pericles of Athens the first hearing of a great slaughter of the Grecians hauing ciuill warre among themselues cryed out fie Graecia which hath slaine so many as sufficed to ouerrunne all the Barbarians And Pericles when
