and riches then GOD and good gyfts whereof I haue spoken Verse 6. Thys is the generation of them that seeke him euen of them that seeke thy face ô Iacob The difference betweene the Church and the vngodlie ones dooth specially sette foorth thys verse The vngodly ones séeke after pleasures and their instruments as in the verses of Mantuan it is said Ambitiosus honos opes et faeda voluptas Haec tria pro trino Numine mundus habet Desire of honour wealth and filthy pleasure The world these three for three Gods holdeth euer But the Church content with foode and rayment séeketh especially after GOD and least shée should stray a wrong way from GOD followeth the rule of his diuine manifestation in no poynt fayling her For it is the singuler wisedom of the Church not to séeke for God by any other means then by his worde and testimonies from him neither to call vpon any other God then vpon this very same GOD who hath made himselfe knowne vnto Iacob that is vnto hys Church Verse 7. Lyftvppe your heads ô yee gates and be yee lyft vppe yee euerlasting doores and the King of glorie shall come in It was the manner of the people in the East parts of the world to exercise theyr iudgement in the gates for as nowe the Senators doo méete and sitte together in the Court so in times past they which were about to consult vpon the causes of the Common wealth mette and satte in the gates The Prophet Dauid therefore exhorteth héere all Princes and Gouernours that they would giue harbour and succour vnto the Gospell and to the Church and to thinke that thys ought to be theyr first and speciall care that euery one of them bestowe in his place of calling hys counsaile and endeuour to retaine the Ministery of the Gospell in publique administration of the Churches to the nourishing of the necessary studies and exercises of the Church and to the defending and maintaining of the Ministers Teachers and Schollers in the Church and Schooles Manifestly it appeareth that in Kingdoms and Citties these Offices or duties are euery where neglected of the most Gouernours or Magistrates They séeke not for apt or fitte Pastors to theyr Churches there are not sallaries or meane wages gyuen vnto such as are able to serue in place there is not youth sufficiently employed vnto the necessary studies or exercises of the Church of GOD no rather in Princes Courts there be which fléese from the Preachers of the Gospell theyr due deserued wages and stipends and doo bestow the same vppon those whose helpe or dilligence they doe vse both in the Court and about theyr prophane busines These things doo I therefore recite to that ende onely that the saying of thys Psalme may be vnderstood and applyed vnto the same vse Wée therefore with this speech doo admonish Princes and Citties to haue care that the Gospell may be purely and rightly preached in their Churches and that we may comfort all those which suffer dangers and miseries for the aduauncement thereof Finally with thys very same spéech doo we accuse Tyrants which goe about to destroy the Ministery of the Gospell and others also which neglect the setting foorth of the same For if Gouernours or Rulers haue onely the ouersight charge and keeping of mens bodies and goods vndoubtedly I know not what difference there is betweene them and Heardesmen or Pastors Nay what are Cōmon weales flourishing with wealth and power wanting true acknowledgment and calling vpon God but Lanthornes without light and a certaine Ciclopicall hugenes hauing blinde and rash wandering motions of theyr mindes Let therfore Magistrates vnderstand and execute the offices of theyr vocations which els where in one word are comprehended where the Psalme sayth I sayd ye are Gods that is bearing Gods Office or béeing Gods Deputies and bestowing Gods benefits vpon men that is the doctrine of God righteousnesse and peace This testimony without long circumstaunces teacheth that it is the speciall cheefe worke of all Magistrates to aduaunce and preserue the knowledge of GOD in mankinde Verse 8. Who is the King of glorie it is the Lord strong and mightie euen the Lord mightie in battell Alwaies there hath béene are and shall be some Kings or mighty Princes enemies vnto the Gospell these mens good wils towards the Gospell hee finely setteth foorth saying who is the King of glory for these Princes despise the doctrine of the Gospell as a thing fabulous and many of thē practise the destruction thereof as if it were the firebrande of seditions and the plague of Common weales But although in manifold manner the aduauncement of the Gospel be hindered yet it wyll haue his operation notwithstanding according to those verses VT aggeribus ruptis cum spumens Amnis Exut oppositasque euicit gurgite moles Fertur in aruafurens cumulo Camposque Per omnes cum stabulis armenta trahit AS when a frothing foming floode the broken bancks ouer-runs And so contrary mighty stoppes by great increase ouer-comes Of violent force is carryed forth through all the fieldes euen there With folde or Cottage quite away the Cattell so doth beare So Christ the King of glory mighty in battell though whole Kingdomes repine and repugne thereat disperseth the sounde of the Gospell and gathereth him a Church and defendeth the same meruailously against Tyrants furthermore the meaning of thys saying shall be more notable and swéeter vnto vs if we doo consider the History as touching the restoring purifying of the Gospell by the ministry of the reuerend Father D. Martin Luther For who remembreth not what manner Decrées were published against the doctrine of the Gospel when it first grew vp again amongst vs. Neyther indeede did the Enemies onely bestow their counsel and endeuour to extinguish the light of the Gospell but also troublesome and vnquiet persons who would seeme to be professors of the Gospell with moouing seditions haue alienated many mens mindes from this doctrine but yet amongst so diuers chaunces and so many differences of things the pure doctrine of the Gospell is spreade néere and farre of against which the very gates of hell shall not preuaile For he that is in vs is stronger and mightier then the Prince of thys world Verse 9. Lyft vp your heads ô yee gates and be yee lyft vp ye euerlasting doores and the King of glory shal come in Verse 10. Who is the King of glory euen the Lorde of Hostes he is the King of glory The selfe same phrase of spéech vnto the Magistrates is not in vaine nor rashly repeated for first thys repeticion declareth with what seueritie God requireth that they which sitte at the helme in the Common weales may be mooued with care of helping forwarde the aduauncement of the Gospell moreouer it signifieth tender affection of very many Gouernours or Princes towardes the Church For some neglect the care for necessary doctrine others are of that sauage beastly blood-sucking and

of words God destroyed the whole race and of-spring of Saule excepting the posteritie of Ionathas so an vniuersal destruction oppressed the whole race of King Alexander The whole progenie of the Kings of Syria and Egipt for their heynous offences was pluckt vp by the rootes Let therefore not onely obscure and base persons feare the iudgement of the Lord but also euen they which excell in power for there is no power so great nor so florishing in glory wealth but God can easily turne topsituruie or vpside-downe as the historie of all ages doo shew Verse 16. The righteous cry and the Lord heareth them And deliuereth them out of all theyr troubles Verse 17. The Lorde is nigh vnto them that are of a contrite hart and will saue such as be of an humble Spirit Howe hard it is to embrace in calamitie thys consolation experience teacheth for mans reason iudgeth not that GOD is present with wretched persons but the doctrine of the Gospell witnesseth that men are not cast away from God by reason of theyr miserie but rather that God euen then promiseth helpe and mittigation and deliueraunce from mischifes Let vs therefore gather héere some promises of helpe mittigation of punishments presence and deliuerance of God The Lord is good and as a strong hold in the day of trouble and he knoweth them that trust in him Nabum 1. verse 7. Turne vnto the Lord your God for he is gracious and mercifull slow to anger and of great kindnes and repenteth him of the euill Ioel 2 13. The Lord healeth those that are broken in hart and bindeth vp theyr sores Psal 147. verse 3. Call vpon me in the day of trouble and I will heare thee and thou shalt glorifie me Psal 50. verse 15. Dwelling with the broken and humble spirit that he may quicken the harts of the sorrowful Esay 57. To him will I looke euen to him that is poore of a contrite spirit and trembleth at my words Esay 66. verse 2. That is a contrite and humble heart is the store-house of GOD. Verse 18. Great are the troubles of the righteous but the Lord deliuereth him out of all Verse 19. Hee keepeth all his bones so that not one of thē is broken GOD at length deliuereth hys Church out of all miseries but in meane time while we liue héere needefull it is that we obey in some calamities because hee will haue hys Church subiect vnto persecution and yet deliuereth he manie dailie yea euen out of corporall miseries and when he dooth not altogether deliuer yet hée mittigateth theyr punishments Thys mittigation dooth the Prophet often describe and pray for and let vs learne also to pray for the same For this weake nature of man were not able to abide the greatnesse of Gods wrath if he shoulde be hotely angry against vs as our sinnes deserue Therefore cryeth Dauid out in the 6. Psalme Lorde reprooue me not in thy wrath Againe in the hundred and thirtie Psalme If thou Lorde wilt be extreame to marke what is doone amisse ô Lord who may abide it verse 3. Verse 20. But mis-fortune shall sley the vngodlie and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate All mans lyfe long is full of examples which confirme and sette foorth this sorrowfull sentence but now for breuitie sake I will be content with the History of Marcus Crassus Marcus Crassus purposing to fight against the Parthians came into Syria the next yéere after his Consulship the yeere fiftie and one before Christ our Sauiour was borne Thys Crassus when hee had vnderstoode that there was a greate masse of money hidden in the Temple of the Iewes went to Ierusalem and hauing leaue to come into the secrete places of the Temple against his promise made vnto them tooke away from thence more then a thousande Talents that is thréescore tunnes of Golde but within a while after thys extraordinary Consull most couetous as he was payd the price of hys periurie and sacrilidge together with his sonne Publius a most excellent young man beeing slaine himselfe more then threescore yeeres olde where with him thirtie thousand Romane Souldiours were ouerthrowne and taken prisoners Verse 21. The Lorde deliuereth the soules of his seruants and all they that put theyr trust in him shall not be destitute The most part of men doo openly despise hate the Gospell after that the Ministerie that is the office of teaching doo they iudge to be the fyer-brand of seditions and of the scattering of al mankind And truely S. Paule himselfe with notable words describeth the bitternesse of mens hatred against the Teachers of the Gospell where hee saith The Apostles are reputed as men appointed to death and are made a gazing stocke vnto the world 1. Cor. 4. verse 9. That is for execrable forlorne persons wherewith God is angry without pacifying from whom all and euery creature abhorreth and whose shadow hurteth as it were a contagion the whole societie of men but although the greater part of the worlde burdeneth and ouerchargeth the Gospell with these exceeding crymes yet S. Paule with a mightie minde cryeth out against these false iudgements I am not ashamed of the Gospell of Christ for it is the power of God vnto saluation to euery one that beleeueth Rom. 1 verse 16. So Dauid with hys voice confirmeth vs All they that put theyr trust in him shall not be destitute With thys consolation let all good men especially they which haue authority in the Church comfort themselues against vnrighteous iudgements and let them knowe that God hath care ouer them who shall doubtlesse deliuer the soules of his Seruants So bée it FINIS Psalm 9. verse 14. That I may shewe all thy prayses within the ports of the daughter of Syon I will reioyce in thy saluation Ecclus. 14. verse 16. Giue and take and sanctifie thy soule c. Reuel 19. verse 1.
