souldiers or but at home vnder a Boner and a Winchester or a Spanish Inquisition our taste would returne vnto vs and we should better know what we haue 24 Touching Religion and the gouernment of our Church established by his Highnesse there be many complaints made by our Brownists their fauourers 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Simocatt Hist for discontented mindes are alway whining and vpon small occasions vse to multiply mountaines of complaints and fill the world with their importunity A contemptible generation they are and vnworthy answer yet I will say no more then is true Religion is as purely taught maintained in England this day as in any Church or nation in Europe as much liberty allowed to preach it and touching the Ecclesiasticall gouernment by Bishops which they so vellicate I protest before God and man it amaseth me to see such as can reade either the Scripture or Antiquity to carpe at it when the Christian world for 1400 yeares after Christ neuer saw any other gouernment I will flatter times ouer thrise with his weight in siluer twise in gold once in pearle and vnions and yet could not obtaine it Oh that there had beene but one dram of his Highnesse clemencie in those hearts that were so inexorable who hath saued pardoned more then possible hath stood with his owne safety What can I speake of his Learning Eloquence and gifts of Nature worthy of the same wherein I presume his greatest aduersaries will not deny him to parallel if not exceede all Princes liuing to be equall to the learnedst that haue gone before him We haue heard him heretofore and saw him now lately in our Vniuersities in the middest of the learnedst in all Professions speaking discoursing with no lesse iudgement and readinesse of vtterance and conceit then if it had bene his ordinary Profession How much adoe had many to refraine verie teares for ioy to see a mightie and potent King and Gods vicegerent vpō earth to bring al his State Roialty with him into the schooles of the Prophets there with such humilitie and meeknesse to sit him downe among his poore subiects and conuerse with them in their owne facultie Neuer was there in the world a greater Patron to Learning and learned men there being few that excell in Learning and zeale for the Gospell euen in forreine parts but he hath some way made them beholding to him his owne writings of all sorts but principally in the cause of Religion against Antichrist are such as haue ennobled his Kingdome for euer and haue giuen more life and courage to vs all then I may well with modesty expresse and time shall shew those writings will worke scuh effects against the enemies of the truth that the ages to come shall him Blessed And for his constancy in the maintenance and propagation of religion both at home and abroad I am not the word and sacrament that scarce any priuate man heares more Sermons then himselfe that in this respect as much may be said of his Court as was said of the Court of Theodosius that it was turned into an Oratorie for the daily seruice of God And to assure vs of his entire heart he hath giuē the dearest pledges that he possibly could against the Pope and his band he hath exposed his Crowne dignity children life all he hath what would we more We know well enough how he hath bene laboured at home and abroad for toleration of Papistry and how the Recusants and their Patrons haue negotiated the businesse yet could they neuer nor shall they euer stirre him That day he gaue the Noble Princesse that gracious Ladie his daughter to the Palatine he sealed vs an instrument of his hand to testify his loue to religion and make his affection thereunto known to all men Go we yet forward to the rest How religiously and vertuously hath he caused the Prince his sonne to be brought vp whose education is such that I make a question whether any Bishop in our kingdome be so religious and carefull in the education of his child This we are sure of his Maiestie cannot in all that is vnder his hands more gratifie the State and the Church of God and his poore subiects therein then in this one thing if the consequence thereof be well considered and compared with the contrary Let carping spirits and medling tongues that hold it their chiefest libertie to scan Kings and take into their actions containe themselues these his vertues and this loue which he hath shewed to State and Church shall bind all godly hearts vnto him and make them the tabernacle of his honour when Papists and factions haue spet out their venime whom I could charme wel enough if they were not deaffe Adder Dauid commended Saul the Spirit of God Dauid the ancient Church could neuer satisfie it selfe in extolling Constantine Theodosius Valentinian Gratian and yet if I listed I could picke quarrels to the best of them and charge euery one of them with some particulars that his Maiestie cannot be touched with 26 Let vs haue an eye to the text When God by his gouernent vpholds vnto vs Peace Tranquillitie Religion Godlinesse praise God for the King and ye praise him for all these things Loue and serue the King and ye loue and serue God that hath giuen you all Let vs sing a song of thanksgiuing to God for his mercies Holy holy Lord God of hoasts heauen and earth are full of thy goodnesse thou hast visited thy people and shewed them thy saluation thy bountie and thy mercie hath crowned them with gladnesse and turned away the punishment of their sinnes and let vs say with the people at the inauguration of Solomon o 1 Reg. 139. God saue the King that vnder him we and our posteritie may leade a quiet and peaceable life in all godlinesse and honestie Vnto whom our God one glorious gracious and immortall God the Father the Sonne and the holy Ghost be rendred againe and againe all honor and glory now and euermore Amen A SERMON PREACHED AT THE SPITTLE in London vpon Easter Monday 1613. 1. TIM 6.17 Charge them that are rich in this world that they be not high minded nor trust in vncertaine riches but in the liuing God who giues vs richly all things to enioy That they do good that they be rich in good workes readie to Distribute willing to Communicate Laying vp in store for themselues a good foundation against the time to come that they may lay hold on eternall life IN which words the blessed Apostle instructs Timothy the Bishop of Ephesus how to preach to great and wealthy men and how to exhort them touching the vse of their riches that they may be saued For it is to be supposed that as the poore imbraced the Gospell so many rich alst For Act. 2.45 we reade of diuers that had faire possessions and much wealth and 19.31 of some that were of the chiefest of Asia
