Isa 1.26 I will restere thy Judges as at first and thy Counsellours as at the beginning WE have spoke of the malum ablatum We come now to the bonum collatum I will restore thy Judges as at first c. As in the Verse preceeding you have the extirpation of Usurpers so here ye have the Restauration of the Lawful Magistrate faithfully promised In which promise you have somewhat imported and somewhat reported First Somewhat imported and that is the decay of Lawful Magistracy in Judah the wonted Glory and Honour due thereto being under cloud the time of which darknesse being then when Senacherib came up against Hezekiah taking all the fenced Cities of Judah Or else in the time of Achaz when the Kingdom was under the feet of the Kings of Israel and Edom and under the Philistines 2 Chron. 28. who did possesse and rule over the Cities of the low Countries giving Law to them at their pleasure Doct. The Lawful and Supream Magistrate may have his due Glory and Greatnesse for a time eclipsed so was it with Achaz the Philistines ruling in many places of his Dominions Yea what is more strange so was it with Hezekiah a good and a gracious King Senacherib overrunneth all Isa 36. But what is strangest David was not only a gracious Prince to his people but a man according to Gods own heart and yet his greatnesse is brought under cloud in a sudden 2 Sam. 15. The reason why the Lord permitteth this is That he may punish people for their contempt of Lawful Authority Israel was not sensible of their felicity and prosperous dayes under their Religious and Gracious King David but wearying of his reign and itching after a new Governour therefore he suffers Absolom to usurp the Throne that he might punish their ingratitude to God for so good a King and the disloyalty of their hearts to so gracious a Master A second reason is For punishing of Magistrates for the abuse of their power for though God hath exempted Kings as his Vicegerents from the punishment of men yet he keepeth this prerogative for himself And therefore though God promised the continuance of the Kingdom to Davids posterity yet he reserved the Authority of chastising of them for their sins A third reason is That he may fit and prepare Kings for the great matters he hath to imploy them into doing like a wise Architector who digs lowest when and where he mindeth to build highest humbling these most whom he intendeth to exalt to the upmost pitch of eminency David must not come to the Crown God had given him right to at first but must reign some years at Hebron before he get the Throne and Crown of Israel 2 Sam. 5.5 Fourthly That people may be the more convinced of their advantage they have by a Lawful Authority and their prosperous condition under the same after they have tasted of the bloody and bitter effects of Usurpation and may behold the Lords superlative goodnesse to them in restoring of the same again Lastly That he may instruct Princes of whom it is they hold their Crowns and upon whose Good-will their Soveraignity doth depend The Lord doth by this as in a Table draw before their eyes and face in great Capital Letters that it is by him that Kings raign and Princes decree justice Vse 1. Behold here what will be the case of Loyal Subjects May their Master be brought down from his Greatnesse and Glory it cannot fare well with them the members of the Body must sympathize with the Head their condition we have pinselled out in that of Davids Loyal Subjects and faithful Servsnts 2 Sam. 15.23 Their enjoyments will be imbittered to them and their spirits under a cloud of discontent living in the world as Jonathan and Achimaz when they were hid in the well of Bethuram 2 Sam. 17.20 21. in a shade of obscurity with such a darknesse of sorrow upon their spirits as that which was upon the face of the deep in the first day of the Creation This hath been the carriage and condition of many thousands in this Land but the fury of the enemy hurried them from their retirement chasing them from mountain to mountain and from corner to corner Vse 2. What then will the carriage of Traitors be when as their condition through the eclipse of the Lawful Magistrate will be prosperous his fall being the rise of such and the harvest in which they reap the reward of their basenesse Questionlesse such will be blown up in a timpynie of pride and will speak presumptuous things and like Owles in the night come abroad boldly looking big upon all We have seen such a generation as these and such a carriage as this with our eyes and there was a fourfold Owl or Noctambulo who these years bypast came abroad and walked in pride First The Souldier Noctambulo or night Owle who was the Gentleman Usher to the rest he under pretence of Liberty brought all men in thraldome and for the defence of an upstart Commonwealth brought all the Country unto utter poverty these as the froges with which Pharaoh and his Country was smitten swarmed both in City and Country in our Fields and in our Houses The second Owle or Noctambulo was the Schismatick who under the pretence of Piety both intitling and intailing to themselves the name of true Christians made a gape both in the Civil to let in and keep up the Usurper And also in the Ecclesiastical Government to throw it down and to make way for Liberty of Conscience The third Owle that cometh abroad in this night time was the Sectarian a Nactambulo who under high pretentions of Religion invadeth the Doctrine as the other had done the Discipline of the Church And that he might do it with the greater successe he must cry up their Diana of Usurpation and defame the Lords Deputy and Vicegerent The last Owle or Nactambulo was the Mammonist who to keep his riches did losse his conscience coming abroad to Court the Foxe under the pretence of necessity fathering the same upon providence as if this had called him to fall down to worship the Beast that he might save his Estate and

with you and go as far as he that is strongest to wrestle in these shameful Olympicks so you evidently proclaim you are not good Christians Let the remembrance hereof be a bridle to your desires lest your exultation be turned to a provocation The third Preservative is To remember for what end God hath wrought this Deliverance of us and hath restored our King to his Subjects is it not that we may live a godly and peaceable life under him sure it is and we cannot live a godly life if we live sensually like beasts God hath not delivered us that we should abuse his creatures mispend time and beast our selves Hab. 2.15 16. Direct 3. Let this our joy be constant not a flash like the sudden motion of lightning in the Air but a continued and lasting rejoycing the spirits and life that runneth in the veins and arteries of all the duties we owe to our King making us to perform them constantly joyfully and chearfully They must not be presented as some Ancients complained the benefits they received were viscata beneficia benefits that hing to the fingers of those who give them like Bird-lime but let our duties be the offerings of free hearts If it happen that his Majesties Affairs should call from us for some of our means let us answer chearfully and give with joy Some years ago gladly would we have had the occasion of doing it Doct. last It is the Lord that raiseth Kings and restoreth to their wonted Honours and Priviledges Noble Wise and Faithfull Counsellours It was Gods wise Providence brought Joseph to Pharaoh and Moredcai to Ahasuerus and holy and wise Daniel to Darius it is the Lords hand that bringeth out from under the cloud of restraint and violence to their wonted Honour and Priviledges the Councels and Representatives of Kingdomes Vse 1. This again giveth us matter of praise that God having restored our King as at first so he is in a way of restoring our Counsellours as at the beginning setting over us men of our own Nation and Blood men of Honour Prudence and Conscience Tales sunt praesidia Regni non exercitus non The sauri Such not Treasures nor Armies are the strength and defence of a Kingdom to sit at the Helm of Affairs and sweept away the Strangers that abode in the Cities of our Solemnities as Cobwebs in our neatest Rooms staining all our Glory the product of the poysonous Spiders that had creept in unto the Palaces of our King and also restoring our Publike Councels the High Courts of Parliament in these Kingdoms to their wonted and ancient Priviledges Those many years by past the Parliaments of these Kingdoms have been very Monsters an omnigadarum of the three Kingdoms without Head and Shoulders a model not heard of before amongst us and the fundamental mould of Parliaments according to the Laws of the respective Kingdomes hath been quite out of fashion yea Courts of that kind have been like the Samaritan betwixt Jerusalem and Jericho lying deadly wounded or rather like Lazarus in the absence of his Lord and Master both dead and buried Now the Lord is preparing for their Resurrection and as he did to Lazarus kindly inviteth them in the presence of our King and the countenance of his Royal Authority to arise and come out from the grave of violence in which they have been long imprisoned The Lord make them and the whole Land with them to remember both their Deliverer and Deliverance that what Diogenes held for an unquestionble truth there was nothing so soon forgot as a benefit received may be found a lie both as to them and us Vse last Let us pray since God is restoring our Counsellours as at the beginning that he would give them also Wisdom and the fear of His Name that the King may be happy in their Councels as they are happy in a Gracious and most Wise King And since God is giving to Cesar what is Cesars and to them what is theirs that both may give to God what is Gods the fresh remembrance of Usurpation on themselves warning them not to incroach upon him That all these who have sown in tears may reap in joy That our King may be established for ever upon the Throns of his Royal Ancestors for which I shall and I hope without hazard of accusation I may turn the promise made to David Psal 89.20 in a prayer for him O Lord as thou hast found King Charles thy Servant and with holy oyl hast anointed him so let thy hand hold him fast and thy arm strengthen him Let never his enemies be able to oppresse him nor the son of wickednesse any more to hurt him but smite down his foes before his face and plague them that hate him Let thy truth and mercy be with him and in thy Name exalt his horn So be it even so be it O Lord. To this Lord who is able to perform all these even to our God who hath restored our Judges as at first and our Counsellours as at the beginning and hath purged out the tinne and the drosse of Vsurpers be praise glory and honour for now and ever Amen FINIS ERRATA Epist p. 2. l. 5. r. sickness line last for ever read also Page 12. line 3 4. for Prov. 24 21. read 1 Pet. 2.17 p. 20. l. 12. for debauching r. demeaning p. 26. l. 25. r. concomitant p. 34. l. 26. he looketh r. they look p. 38. l. 16. their r. his p. 43. l. 8. unto r. into p. 45. l. 17. r. inadvertency p. 46. l. 9. unto r. in p. 47. l. ult hath r. have p. 53. l. 5. r. restore p. 57. l. 11. r. timpany p. 66. l. 19. of r. off p. 78. l. 15. her r. their p. 85. l. 20. r. death-threatning p. 88. l. 7. del Kings p. 89. l. 6. r. omnigatherum
