1 Pet. 5.9 their stratagems and devices their fiery darts and engines these they were to resist stedfast in the faith 4 The execution or slaughter they must make The strages execution or slaughter they must make is not of mens bodies lives and estates honors good names or liberties but of their inordinate lusts and vile affections their rude and unruly passions their damnable opinions and dangerous practices The Captives they are to take 5 The Captives they take are the Reason the Will the Mind the Souls and Spirits the high thoughts and proud imaginations of men who are detained in ignorance or error led captive by their own lusts and others temptations men or devils this captivity they are to lead captive Gal. 5.3 1 Cor. 7.22 Ioh. 8.36 Zach 9.12 that is to make them the redeemed of the Lord and Christ's freemen who were slaves to sin and Satan these are the Prisoners of hope whom they are in Christs name to set free this is all the hurt they may do or intend as Prophets and Ministers to mankinde Lastly 6 Their Triumph They have their triumphs in Christ and rejoycings in the Lord in doing their duty 2 Cor. 2.14 and discharging their consciences by which they may be means to save souls Isa 49.5 which will be their crown and rejoycing at the last day 2 Tim. 4. ● and if Israel be not gathered yet they shall not lose the reward and crown which is prepared for these spiritual Soldiers Rev. 3.11 who aim only to save not to destroy their Sons Rev. 2.10 fellow-Citizens and brethren in this world and in the Church as men and Christians Nor shall they want their triumphs in Christ 2 Cor. 2.14 nor a triumphant song even the song of Moses at last Rev. 15.3 when Pharoah and all his host the Devil and his iustruments being quite overthrown the Israel of God shall have its full and free deliverance § Thus Christ hath had and ever will have his chariots and horsemen venerable Fathers Bishops and Presbyters under the Gospel as well as these Eliahs and Elishas under the Law Religion now is carried on with less terror and fire indeed than of old but with greater efficacy to save souls As the Sun in one day thaws more ice than thousands of hammars could break in a year the Church is compared to an Army with banners Cant. 6.4 12 and her companies like the chariots of a willing people easie to be Marshalled ordered and disciplined as becometh the people of Christ which will not mutiny against their spiritual guides rulers leaders because this is to rebel against the chief Commander Jesus Christ who like the Sun of righteousness is set upon the Evangelical chariot and drawn by the Quadrigae quaternion of Evangelists as fiery horses all over the world he makes his daily and orderly Ministers as his chariots and horses too sets them on the axis of the Law and Gospel which support the true faith and their authority he adds to them the four wheels of good Learning sober Judgement honest Zeal and potent eloquence into their hearts and hands he puts the reins or bridles of charity and discretion Zack 14.18 upon which is written holiness to the Lord Glory to God on high and good will towards men Thus becoming all things honest and comely to all men speaking a word in due season Ise 5.4 2 Tim. 6.15 and rightly dividing the word of Truth taking care above all that they overthrow not all the honor and credit of their preaching and ministery by evil conversation Ne factis deficientibus verba erubescant lest the solecisme of of their lives make their Doctrine seem but a riddle or an incredible Fable Secondly In the second place 2 The entertainment due to those spiritual Chariots and horsemen If the Prophets of the Lord both legal and Evangelical the Pastors and Teachers the Bishops and Presbyters of the Church are of this use and importance for their ability sufficiency and dexterity and efficacy to the Church of God and specially to the Christian World as the charets and horsmen are in an army being Christs Militia not fleshly and corporeal but spiritual and intellectual an earthly sort of Angels which help the Lord against the mighty and assist men to conquer themselves first who are their own and Gods greatest enemies and then the world and Devil Sure then this holy Army these chariots and horsmen deserve to be esteemed entertained and treated not as the lixae calones the filth and off-scouring of the world and forced to lie among the pots and kitchin-stuff of contemp and poverty but as Mahanaim the host of God and Christ Psal 68.13 Gen. 32.2 listed and employed in his holy war and service and so to be used with love and respect as men worthy of double honor Men will feed their horses grease their chariot wheels and pay their Horsmen well to be sure § I know the Pannick blind and preposterous terrors of vulgar and Plebean minds are prone now to regard one Captain or Colonel yea or one sorry Trooper beyond the best Bishop or ablest Preacher in England Luke 2.4 because as beasts they regard more those that can kill their bodies than such as are means to save their souls This mistake of poor parasticik people is not for want of ignorance and meanness of spirit Whether the spiritual or temporal Militia deserve best of the publique but for want of judgement and conscience gratitude and common civility not considering that both as to private and publick interest of any Church and State as well as of every good Christian that of Tostatus is most true on this place Fides preces Eliae fortiores omnibus curribus toto equitatu Israelis The Israel of God owed more to Eliah's prayers and faith and exemplary zeal than to all the chariots and horses in the Land § Not that I odiously compare or disparage the honest way of a Souldiers employment First in a just and lawfull cause Secondly under a just and lawful command Thirdly when content with their wages and doing violence to none Fourthly when they are modest men not ambitious to turn all right into might and set jus gladii above jus gentis lex terrae Fifthly When in other things they are men that fear God love true Religion encourage Learning and reverence the worthy Ministers Bishops and Pastors of the Church of Christ but when Soldiers grudge at Ministers maintenance and gape to get it when they will needs turn Preachers to put scorns and affronts on Ministers when they think themselves necessary and Ministers superfluous when they urge to have Commanders Councils of War Discipline pay and honor for their Militia and either deny or envy or destroy all these as to the Ministry They must give me leave to magnifie my Office and to tell those of them who understand

Lastly in the name of the blessed God and the Son of God whose servant Minister and prophet this holy and learned Bishop was I am I say in the name of all these to return you deserved thanks that in the darkness and terror of these last and perillous times you were pleased to express the esteem and respect you had to the worth of this reverend person and the dignity of his Episcopall function Inviting him to such a kind and hospitable reception as was very acceptable and welcome to him because from persons of your worth And although considering his merit and quality you are so ingenuous as to think it was a kind condescention in him to be your honorary preacher yet he esteemed it as an honour and preferment to him And the more because super omnia vultus accessere boni he thought he saw in the serenity of all your countenances the propensity of your generous hearts and unfeined affections to him May you never want a Prophets reward Peroration and Comprecation may your love and respect to him be inscribed on the lasting monument of his great and pretious Name may his renowned memory outlast his mortal remaines which he desired to deposite among you in this Temple May his excellent example be to you and posterity as his presence was while yet alive a sacred charm against all sinful rude unchristian and unmanly debauchery also an incentive to piety learning vertue and true honour So will you never repent of the honour you did him at the last act of his life and in him you did it to your selves and your worthy Societies and in that to the whole Nation Expiating for your part the diminutions and indignities undeservedly cast upon this and other good Bishops by those that knew not how to use or value him and them not understanding at what distance themselves stood from the learned sacred and useful worth of such venerable men § If you please to add to your former favours while he lived among you this last of giving order and leave to adorn your Chappel with any Monument for him you need be at no more cost then to inscribe on a plain stone the name of BISHOP BROUNRIG This will make that stone Marble enough and your Chappel a Mausoleum It onely now remaines that we beg of God Supplictaion to God whose providence sets before us by such great examples of virtue and piety the possibility of being really and eminently good That he would please to give us grace to value and to follow them with high esteem chearful love and constant imitation that at length we may attaine to that crown of glory whither this holy man and others are gone before us non amissi sed praemissi as Cyprian speaks not lost but outstriping us as St. John did St. Peter to the Sepulcher of our Lord Jesus Christ who by dying for us hath suffered sanctified and sweetned death to all true beleivers To this blessed Saviour with the eternal Father and holy Spirit be everlasting glory Amen A good name is better then pretious ointment and the day of death then the day of ones birth Pro. 7.1 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Naz.
