most zealous fervent pathetical Thanksgiving and Prayer to God for the accomplishmeut of this promise in establishing and blessing his House for ever Which being afterwards put in writing and particularly recorded in sacred Story no doubt was constantly used both in private and publick by himself and all his loyal devout Subjects whether Priests Levites or people all his Reign and registred as a sacred President for all hereditary pious Kings and Subjects future imitation 2ly Davids publick Prayers Psalms and Thanksgivings to God for himself as King and for his Royal Son and his Posterity that should succeed him in the Throne recorded in sacred writ prescribed to the Church and people of God during his Reign and succeeding Ages and constantly used by them and all Churches of God to this very day at the inauguration of their Kings and upon other royal Solemnities Victories Triumphs and Installments or mariages of their Sons and heirs to the Crown I shall instance only in Psal 18. I will love thee O Lord my strength c. Therefore will I give thanks unto thee O Lord among the heathen and sing praises unto thy name Great deliverance giveth he to his King and sheweth mercy to his anointed to David and to his séed for evermore Psal. 21. The King shall joy in thy strength O Lord and in thy Salvatian how greatly shall he rejoyce For thou hast given him his hearts desire thou hast not withholden the request of his lips for thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness thou settest a Crown of pure gold on his head He asked life of thee and thou gavest it him even length of dayes for ever and ever his glory is great in thy salvation glory and majesty hast thou laid upon him for thou hast made him most blessed for ever c. Which Psalm though it be mystically applied to Christ the King of his Church and Saints by many yet doubtless it was literally meant of King David himself who compiled it Psal. 45. My heart is indicting a good matter I will speak of the things which I have made touching the King literally intended of Solomon but mystically of Christ his kingdom and Church Psal. 61. Hear my cry O God attend unto my Prayer c. Thou wilt prolong the Kings life and his years as many generations He shall abide before God for ever O prepare mercy and truth which may preserve him Psal. 72. 1 2 c. Give the King thy Judgements O God and thy Righteousness unto the Kings Son Then shall he judge thy people with righteousness and thy poor with judgement c. He shall save the souls of the needy He shall redeem their Soul from deceit and violence and precious shall their bloud be in his sight He shall live and unto him shall be given of the Gold of Sheba Praye●… also shall be made for him continually and daily shall he be praised Which Psalm though mystically meant of Jesus Christ the Son of David as all accord yet it was first literally made used in and by the Church and people of God and prescribed to them as a publike Prayer for King David and his Son Solomon who was to succeed him in the throne as most accord and the Contents in our Bibles resolve Or for King Solomon whom some make the penman thereof and his Son Rehoboam However it is a direct form and divine precept for the people of God in all hereditary kingdoms to make continual daily publike and private Prayers intercessions supplications and thanksgivings unto God for their hereditary kings their heirs apparent and successors to the crown and royal posterity according to the 1 Tim. 2. 1 2. grounded on this Psalm I shall conclude with Psal. 89. and Psal. 132. of like nature with the former wherein not only the Psalmist but the Churches Congregations of the Saints in that and succeeding ages do sing of the mercies of the Lord and make known his faithfulness to all generations for making this Covenant with David and his seed I have made a Covenant with my chosen I have sworn unto David my servant Thy séed will I establish for ever and build up thy throne to all generations c. My mercy will I keep for him for evermore and my Covenant shall stand fast with him His séed also will I make to endure for ever and his Throne as the dayes of Heaven If his children forsake my Laws and walk not in my judgements if they break my statutes and keep not my commandements then will I visit their transgressions with the rod and their sin with scourges Nevertheless my loving kindness will I not utterly take from him nor suffer my faithfulness to fail My Covenant will I not break nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David his séed shall endure for ever and his Throne as the Sun before me It shall be established for ever as the Moon and as the faithfull witnesse in Heaven Selah 〈◊〉 thy children will keep my covenant and my testimonies that I shall teach them their children also shall sit upon t●…e Throne for evermore For the Lord hath chosen Zion he hath desired it for his habitation This is my rest for ever there will I dwell for I have desired it c. There will I make the horn of David to bud I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed His Enemies will I cloath with shame but upon himself shall his crown flourish From all these Psalms which you may read at large these irrefragable Conclusions may be clearly deduced 1. That it was the constant practise duty not only of King David himself but of the Church and people of God under him and his royal posteritie to make incessant prayers supplications intercessions and thanksgivings to God both publikely and privately for him his royal house and posterity 2ly That they did in their publike and private devotions prayers psalms and thanksgivings take special notice and make particular mention of Gods promise to King David his House and Royal seed that they should inherit the Throne and kingdom over his people by succession for ever and rejoyce therein yea pray for its accomplishment and Gods grace and blessing on his House seed as their own and the Churches greatest blessing happinesse and fafety 3ly That as the sins of Davids royal seed and progeny did not cause God himself the king of kings who conferred the kingdom and throne upon them to break his Oath and Covenant with them nor to deprive them of their kingly Government Throne or totally to withdraw his loving kindness and mercy towards them but only to chastize them with his rod and scourge them for their amendment So it did neither withdraw the allegeance loyaltie dutie prayers supplications intercessions or thanksgivings of the Church and their pious subjects from them but rather intend and augment them as is evident by
they made Solomon the son of David King the second time and anointed him unto the Lord to be Chief Governor c. v. 20 21. Fro●… all which premises it is apparent 1. That the Priests Prophets Prince●… Captains Officers and all the people of God at the coronation of Solomon and so at their other hereditarie Kings inaugurations who succeeded him by like practice and custom did blow with Trumpets pipe with Flutes rejoice with exceeding joy and cry out with united shouts prayers acclamacions God save the King Let the King live so that the Earth did rent and the City ring again with the sound thereof 2ly That besides this usual short prayer and ejaculation unto God for him and their following Kings the greatest devoutest of the Officers and people did break forth into other most affectionate pathetical expressions praiers for them as Benaiah and other of Davids servants did here in the case of Solomon saying The Lord God of my Lord the king say Amen too As the Lord hath been with my Lord the king David so let him bee with Solomon and make his name better than thy name and make his throne greater than thy throne 3ly That they joyned in publike prayers to God for their Kings after their installments in the kingdom as the whole Congregation did here with David for Solomon O Lord God of Abraham c. give unto my son Solomon a perfect heart to keep thy Commandements c. Ps. 132. 1 c. 4ly That in their usual addresses to their Kings they bless them by wishing them spiritual and temporal blessings long life and prosperity to them and bless God for their advancement to the Throne and Government over them as is evident by the 1 Kings 1. 27. 43. compared with the 2Sam 10. 16. and other subsequent texts 5ly I shall adde to the premises this passage in Huram king of Tyre his letter to Solomon 2 Chron. 2. 12. Huram said moreover Blessed be the Lord God of Israel that hath made heaven and earth who hath given to David a wise Son endued with prudence and understanding that might build an house for the Lord and an house for his kingdom And these words of the Queen of Sheba to Solomon 2 Chron. 9. 7 8. 1 Kings 10. 7 8. Happy are thy men and happy are these thy servants which stand continually before thee and hear thy wisdom Blessed be the Lord thy God which delighted in thée to set thée on his throne to be King for the Lord thy God because thy God loved Israel to establish them for ever therefore made hee thee King over them to do judgement and justice Now if King Huram and the Queen of Sheba meer foreiners Princes not subjects thus blessed God for Solomons kingdom justice reign and advancement to his fathers throne for the establishment and welfare of his subjects then much more were the Israelites themselves his own subjects and servants obliged to blesse him and blesse God for his reign wisdom and good government over them which no doubt they did constantly perform in their publike and private Devotions and all their addresses to him as also to their other Kings succeeding him though not particularly recorded in the books of Kings and Chronicles which are but short Epitomes of his and their reigns 3ly When King Solomon had finished the Temple he assembled all the Elders heads of the Tribes and chief of the fathers of the children of Israel with the Priests and Levites to Jerusalem to bring up the Ark and dedicate the Temple where Solomon having first bl●…ssed all the Congregation he with the whole Congregation of Israel standing before and joyning with him Blessed the Lord God of Israel who had with his hands fulfilled that which he spake with his mouth to his father David That his Son which should come out of his loyns should build an House to the name of the Lord God of Israel The Lord therefore hath performed his word that he hath spoken for I am risen up in the room of David my Father and am set on the Throne of Israel as the Lord promised and have built the House for the Lord God of Israel c. After which he stood before the Altar of the Lord upon a brazen scaffold and kneeled upon his knees before all the Congregation of Israel and spred forth his hands towards heaven and said O Lord God of Israel there is none like thee in the heaven nor in the earth which keepest Covenant and shewest mercy unto thy servants that walk before thee with all their hearts Thou which hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him and spakest with thy mouth and hast fulfilled it with thy hand as it is this day Now therefore O Lord God of Israel kéep with thy servant David my Father that which thou hast promised him saying There shall not fail thée a Man in my sight to sit upon the Throne of Israel yet so that thy children take heed to their way to walk in my Law as thou hast walked before me Now then O Lord God of Israel let thy word I pray thée be verified which thou hast spoken unto thy servant David c. O Lord God turn not away the face of thine anointed Remember the Mercies of David thy servant When Solomon had ended all his prayer and supplication to the Lord he arose from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven and he stood and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice saying Blessed be the Lord God that hath given rest unto his people Israel according to all that he hath promised there hath not failed one word of all his good promise which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant The Lord our God be with us as he was with our Fathers Let him not leave us nor forsake us that he may incline our hearts unto him to walk in all his wayes and to keep his Commandements and his Statutes and his Iudgements which he commanded our Fathers And let these my words wherewith I have made supplication before the Lord be nigh unto the Lord day night that he may maintain the cause of his servant the cause of his people Israel the thing of a day in his day or at all times as the matter shall require that all the People of the Earth may know that the Lord is God and there is none else c. After all the Dedications sacrifices offerings and feasts were fully ended Solomon sent the people away and they blessed the King and went unto their tents Ioyfull and glad of heart for all the goodnesse that the Lord had shewed unto David his servant to Solomon and to Israel his people In these remarkable passages we have King Solomon blessing all his Princes Elders people and they blessing him again and both of them joyning together in blessings thanksgivings and

For which crime Solomon by Davids order afterwards put him to death 2 Kings 2. 8. 44 45 46. using this speech unto him Thou knowest all the wickedness which thy heart is privy to that thou didst to David my Father therefore the Lord shall return thy wickedness upon thine own head and King Solomon shall be blessed and the Throne of David shall be established before the Lord for ever whereas Shimei said the Lord hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul in whose stead thou hast reigned and the Lord hath delivered thy Kingdom into the hand of Absolom thy Son and behold thou art taken in thy mischief because thou art a bloody man Now if this sin of his in cursing and rayling against David his King was a capital crime and treason deserving death ●… and God himself reputes it an heinous offence in the idolatrous Israelites and others when vexed with famine oppression and other judgements by evil Kings to curse their King and look upwards Isay 8. 21. Then questionless it is a grievous sin and capital offence for Subjects to give over prohibit all publick and private Prayers for their Kings or curse thē though wicked oppressive idolatrous tyrannical much more when just good pious christian orthodox and not only to curse but dethrone murder them eject banish and disinherit their royal posterities and abolish their Kingly Government for which they can expect nought else but exemplary punishments and the reward of Shimei both from God and men being contrary to all the recited Presidents of Gods Saints and people under the law CHAP. III.

And suddenly there was with the Angel a multitude of the heavenly host praysing God and saying Glory to God in the highest in earth peace good will towards men Lu. 2. 9 to 15.

At which time a very great multitude spread their Garments in the way others cut down branches from the Trees and strawed them in the way and when he was come nigh to the descent of the Mount of Olives the whole multitude that went before and followed after began to rejoyce and praise God with a loud voyce and cryed saying Hosanna to the Son of David blessed be he that commeth in the name of the Lord Hosanna in the highest Blessed be the Kingdom of our Father David Hosanna in the highest Blessed be the King that commeth in the name of the Lord peace in Heaven and glory in the highest And when some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him Master rebuke thy Disciples He answered and said unto them If these men should hold their peace the stones would immemediatly cry out After which the Chief Priests and Scribes seeing the wonderfull things he did and the Children crying in the Temple saying Hosanna to the Son of David they were sore displeased and said unto him Hearest thou what they say Jesus saith unto them Yea have ye not read Out of the mouths of Babes and Sucklings thou hast perfected prayse This is likewise evident by those very clauses in the form of prayer which Christ himself recommended to his Disciples to be daily used by them Mat. 6. 1●… 13. thy Kingdom come o●…t stiled ●… Christs Kingdom in the Gospel as well as the Fathers for thine is the Kingdom the power and the glory for ever and ever Amen By that Prayer of all Gods Saints Rev. 22. 20.

comes to the Pulpit side and sitting in a Chair a Canopy is held over his Head all the time of his Anointing The Archbishop first anoints his Hands in the Palms saying In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost which wordes he repeats in all the several Anointings let these hands be anointed with Oyl as Kings and Prophets have been anointed And as Samuel did anoint David to be King that thou mayest be blessed and established a King in this Kingdome over the People whom the Lord thy God hath given thee to rule and govern Which he vouchsafe to grant who with the Father and the Holy Ghost is one and reigns in glory everlasting Amen In this time the Singers do sing the Anthem Sado●…ke the Priest and Nathan the Prophet anoin●…ed Solomon King and all the People rejoyced and said God save the King for ever Then the Archbishop says this Prayer Look down Almighty God upon this thy Servant our dread Soveraign King Charles with thy favourable countenance and as thou didst bless Abraham Isaac and Jacob so vouchsafe we beseech thee to water him plentifully with the Blessing of thy Grace give unto him of the dew of Heaven and of the fatness of the Earth abundance of Corn Wine and Oyl with all plenty of fruites and other good things Grant him long to continue and that in his time there may be health and peace in this Kingdome Grant O Almighty God that he may be a mighty Protector of this Country a bountiful Comforter of Churches and holy Societies the most valiant of Kings terrible to Rebels and Infidels amiable to his Nobles and to all his faithful Subjects Make his Royal Court to shine in Princely dignity as a most cleer Lightning far and wide in the Eyes of all men Finally let him be blessed with happy Children that may reign as Kings after him and rule this Kingdom by Succession of all Ages and after the glorious and happy dayes of present life give him of thy mercy an everlasting Kingdome with thee in the Heavens through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen The Prayer ended the Archbishop proceeds in the Anointing 1. His Breast 2. Betwixt the Shoulders 3. Both the Points of the Shoulders 5. Boughs of his Arms. 5. The Crown of his Majesties head The Anointing done the Dean of the Chappel closeth the loops again which were opened Then the Archbishop reads this Benediction God the Son of God Christ Jesus our Lord who was anointed of his Father with Oyl of gladness above his fellows pour down upon thy Head the Blessing of the Holy Ghost and make it enter into the inward parts of thy Heart so that thou mayest reign with him in the Heavens eternally Amen This pronounced a shallow Quoife is pnt upon the Kings head because of the Anointing Then the King goerh to the Altar and the Robe is put upon him at which the Archbishop says this Prayer O God the King of Kings and Lord of Lords by whom Kings do reign and Law-givers make good Laws vouchsafe in thy favour to bless this thy Servant Charles in all his Government that living godly and leading his People by the way of righteousness after a glorious course in this life he may attain that joy which hath no end through our Lord. Amen Then the Sword is brought to the Archbishop who laying it on the Altar prayes in this manner Hea●… our prayers we beseech thee O Lords and vouchsafe by thy right hand of Majesty to bless and sanctifie this Sword wherewith thy Servant Charles desires to be girt by the same he may defend Churches Widdows Orphans and all the People of God against the savage cruelty of Pagans and Infid●…ls and that it may be a terrour and fear to all those that lie in wait to do mischief through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen Then the Archbishop takes up the Sword and puts it in the Kings hand saying Receive this Kingly Sword for the defence of the faith of Christ and protection of his Holy Church and remember him of whom the psalmist did prophecy saying ●…ird thy self with thy Sword upon thy Thigh O thou most mighty and with thy sword execute thou Equity and justice Persue all Hereticks and Infidels defend Widdows and Orphans restore the things that are gone to decay maintain and confirm the things that are restored and in good order destroy the growth of iniquity and take punishment of all injustice that you may be glorious in the triumph of vertue and reign with him whose Image you bear for ever and ever Amen The Sword is girt to the Kings side by one of the Peers thereto oppointed Then the King returns to the Chair wherein he was anointed and hath the Spurs put on by the Lord Marshal Aster which the Archbishop taking the Crown in his hand sayes this prayer O God the Crown of all the faithful who dost Crown their Heads with pretious Stone that trust in thee bless and sanctifie this Crown that as the same is adorned with many precious Stones so this thy Servant that weares the same may be replenished of thy Grace with the manifold gifts of all precious Virtues through Christ our Lord. Amen Then the Archbishop crowneth the King saying God Crown thee with a Crown of glory and righteousness with the Honour and vertue of fortitude that by a right faith and manifold fruits of good works you may obtein the Crown of an everlasting kingdome by the gift of him whose kingdome endu●…eth for ever Amen Then the King goes to the Stage and sits in the Chair of State which is placed by the Throne Then the Lyon by direction of the Marshal calls the Nobles who set their hands to the Crown and say every man these words So God not help me as I shall support thee And when they have done they all hold up their hands and swear to be loyal and true Subjects The Marshals having in his hand the obligatory Oath of the People goeth to the four Corners of the Stage and reads the same to the Lyon who cries it down to the people and they all hold up their hands and say Amen The Oath of the People is this We swear and by the holding up of our hauds do promise all subjection and loyalty to King Charles our dread Soveraign and as we wish God to be merciful unto us shall be to his Majesty true and faithful and be ever ready to bestow our Lives Lands and what else God hath given us for the defence of his sacred Person and Crown When the King is Crowned the Earles and Viscounts put on their Crownes and the Lyon his The other Barons and Lords continue bare and uncovered Then is this Anthem sung Be strong and of good courage and observe the Commandements of the Lord to walk in his wayes and keep his Ceremonies Precepts Testimonies and Judgements And almighty God strengthen and prosper thee wheresoever thou
