Davids Devotion 2. Israels Gratulation 3. Our English-Irish Application THE FIRST PART CHAP. I. SECT I. Davids devotion ANd first to begin with the eldest and best the chiefe and choise subject of this gratulation King David The consideration and serious animadversion of his practise in manie both substantiall and circumstantiall points speakes to our understandings and affections in manie pleasing profitable and usefull observations for our instruction edification imitation resolution and redargution In whom still for methods sake and memories sake ere we come to see how the Peeres and people insist in his steps let us view David not to scoffe his zeale as Micholl i 2. Sam. 6.20 but to imitate him as Christians acting his gratulatorie parts in these sixe pees or particulars 1 Piously 2 Personally 3 Publickly 4 Primarily 5 Perswasorily or prescribingly 6 Powerfully or politically First I say Piously he prayseth God and religiously for in the linking and connexing of graces a thankefull heart is alwayes the inseparable companion of a holy humble and sanctified heart Iacob k Gen. 32.10 Moses l Iosuah 1.2 Ioshua m Iosh 22.6 the sonne of Nun the servants of the Lord Samuel the faithfull Prophet o 1 Sam. 3.20 of the Lord Simeon p Luk. 1.28 29 Zachary q Luk. 1 68. yea Elizabeth r Luke 1.44 45 the Virgin Mary and all that looked for the redemption and consolation of Israel Peter Paul Iude Iohn the holy Apostles and Disciples of Christ Iesus the two Anna's the mother of Samuel and the Prophetesse yea Augustine Ambrose ſ vers 46.47 1.

Iohn 12.13 and these famous lights in the primitive Church as we shal see more at large hereafter in particularizing what we now epitomize with all the faithfull that ever have beene from the beginning of the world men and women old and young yea even children and babes out of whose mouthes God hath ordained strength so soone as they are able in the powers of reason and religion to pronounce Hosanna glory to the highest have been found thankfull There was never heart full of grace but full also of gratitude as inseparable the one from the other as heat is from the fire or * Accidens inseperabile light from the Sunne that David penning his Psalmes practically and experimentally unites oft in one line the service of God and the praise of God in severall Psalmes as Psal 104. v. 1 psal 134. v. 1.5 psal 135. v. 1. with many mo He calls upon the servants of God to blesse and praise the name of the Lord he calls upon the Israel of God the Zion of God psal 149. v. 2.3 the Saints of God ver 5. those that dwell in the Sanctuary of God psal 150. v. 1. to be joyfull in God to praise their King with Timbrell and Harpe with sound of Trumpet and Psalterie As if they only and none but they that are the servants of the Lord Saints by calling would could doe this taske as he makes

Thy Saints saith he shall blesse thee they shall speake of the glory of thy kingdome and talke of thy power They only indeed can doe it they will doe it As unpossible for a heart possessed a spirit replenisht with grace not to blesse God as for a man to have a living soule and not to breathe a sound heart and yet never to move nor work there being unlesse 1. in some sickish fit of weakenesse 2. 2.

Further prosecuting Davids gratulation YEa as it holds in the nature humane and angelicall men and Angels Mark 14.32 35 so it holds in Christ himselfe the head of the Angells who in the daies of his flesh as he had the spirit without measure so as sparkes from his heavenly fire ascending upward as he did pray continually he did rejoyce evermore and in all things give thankes 1.
