alleadged 't is applyed to Kings and to Kings onely As God is pleased to vouchsafe them his name Dixi Dii estis I have said ye are Gods so Christ vouchsafes them his I have said ye are Christs Messiahs in the Hebrew and Christi mei my Christs in the Greek and Latine and all Interpreters translate it so not Uncti but Christi Why then this must make their persons sacred in a very high degree not onely holy but the holy of holies as the inmost place of the Temple was so is the person of the King Let there be a Vaile between as 't was in the Temple and no profane person come near him His Sacred Majesty is a Title that belongs to him without flattery For 't is holy oyle that he is Anointed with Psal 89.21 Oleo sancto meo I have found David my servant with my holy oyle have I Anointed him And his Presence was wont to be called Sacra vestigia and his Writs Sacri Apices holy almost every thing about him and such as should beget a Reverence in the people Since the foundations of Government were shaken he that shall look back and remember the Indignities that were put upon the person of our late Dear Soveraigne how every wicked and profane person did not onely touch him which they are forbid to do in that Psalm but throng him and presse him too as the Multitude did Christ and that not out of any affection to see him but for worse ends which I had rather forget then mention he will think the Reverence was lost here and the Anointing forgotten in the Text. When every hand was lifted up against him so many hands at the Sentence and a hand to execute that upon the Scaffold did they think the Lords Anointed was there or did they remember the holy oyle at that time Since all holy things were profaned they made no reckoning of that and therefore 't is for the Interest of Princes to keep up the Value of holy things and not to suffer them to be trampled upon by the Multitude But 't is worth the observing which was said of Saul in the Chapter before cited 2 Sam. 1.21 The shield of Saul was vilely cast away as though he had not been Anointed with oyle And was not the sacred Head of the King it self used so Horresco referens As if he had not been Anointed with oyle too or as if never any such Ceremony had been used I would not be thought Ambitiosus in malis or to aggravate the offences of any For how can I Language is too narrow for it Si Linguae Centum sint Oraque Centum If I had as many Tongues as the Giant had hands but Christus Domini was forgotten that he was Anointed with oyle when those hands were lifted up and the Nets were set in the Text. If they had known they would not have Crucifyed the Lord of life the Apostles Charity so far excused the Iews and I am willing my Charity should think the same of these they did not know him at that time in their practical understanding they did not and 't was a just Judgement of God upon them for their shutting their eyes so long before and their not knowing of him when they might Well Christus Domini I have said enough upon that that men may know him better hereafter and take heed how they touch him For the King is a Sacred person The Anointed of the Lord that 's the second Character of him 3. The third is In umbra tua vivemus under his shadow we shall live among the Heathen 'T is no wonder if we expect to live by him for he is the breath of our nostrils before and I have said enough of that already But we shall live under his shadow that speaks the protection of a King To live under his shadow is to live under that As Beasts shelter themselves under the shadow of a tree so men are sheltered under the protection of a King You may have heard of the Royall Oak or you have read the Dream of Nebuchadnezar of a tree that reached to Heaven and covered the Earth under which the Beasts of the field had shadow and the Foules of the aire dwelt in the Boughes of it And Daniels Interpretation of it was this Dan. 4.22 Tu es Rex it is thou O King thy greatness reacheth to Heaven and thy Dominion to the end of the Earth and all had shadow and protection by it What the benefit of this Protection is we have known by the want of it those that live sub Dio that have no Canopy or Covering but that of the Heavens are exposed to the injuries of all weather whether it be hot or cold wet or dry they have no fence for it but they must bear it out with head and shoulders as we use to say And this was our Case for many years together what storms have we endured what miseries have we felt or what have we not felt rather and all this for want of a Covering and of a Protector and that shadow and comfort we might have enjoyed by him We had indeed one at last that called himself so a Protector he would needs be but alas his shadow was but Mock-shade or Night-shade rather that was fatal and deadly to all that stood under it Requiescite sub umbra mea as the Bramble said in Jothams Parable Rest under my shadow when alas he had no shadow for them Whereas the shadow of a lawful King is life to his Subjects sub umbra ejus vivemus Under his shadow we shall live The sun shall not burn thee by day nor the moon by night as 't is Psal 121.6 He that dwells under the shadow of the most High he hath those privileges and many more Psal 91.1 and so hath he that lives under the shadow of a lawful King He shall defend thee under his wings as 't is there and thou shalt be safe under his feathers whereas they that want them have no safety at all but are exposed like so many Chickens to be a prey to the Kites And what the pleasure of the shade is in hot weather we all know and most of us remember how happily we lived under it Hic nemus hic ipse tecum consumerer avo We could have been contented to live and dye under it too but thus we lived for many years together We could not see when we were well but out of the shade we would go and out of Gods blessing into the warm Sun and down goes the Tree himself and farewell the shade of him and what we got by it you all know We are now by Gods blessing got into the shade again Non deficit alter amens Another Tree is sprung up from the same Root God be thanked for it and we will learn I hope to value the Tree better hereafter and the shadow we enjoy by him But if we have no shadow in what a case
