Kings heart is in the hand of the Lord as the rivers of waters he turneth it withersoever he will Pro. 21. 1. No man can command or change the course of tides but God can do it and who but he can order the hearts of men as he hath done it in the King so is it from him that it is done in the People the hearts of both being by him thus turned to each other That Reformation by Hezechiah was done in 16. dayes It was soon done for all hearts were made willing to it which is therefore said to be from the Lord And that God had prepared the People For the thing was done suddainly 1 Chr. 29. 17. 35 36. This is our very case this day being in this day of the Lord made a willing People Psal. 110. So that we may conclude concerning it as here that this is the Lords doing his and his only 2. Therefore it is marvellous in our eyes which now followeth v 23. Who would have believed that one cast out so as was David should in the condition he then was be on a suddain so raised and that to the highest pitch of all Imaginable glory for but a little before he had been in very great distresse at Zicklag 1 Sam. 30. 6. at that time also were the People of Israel in great confusions by reason of the Philistins then prevailing over them so was it then with David and such was the condition and State of affairs at home when David was brought in therefore all things considered it could not but have been marvellous in the eyes of all that beheld it And if the confusions of England and of the three Kingdoms be considered in this our day I dare be bold to say it the like cannot in any time or history be ever paralell'd For to speak nothing of the strange confusions in the foregoing years since the year 1648. we find in this very year in which we now are even but in the compass of these past twelve months taking in this in which we now are one of them we shall find I say within these twelve months ten Fundamentall changes 1. That violent dissolving of the Parliament in Aprill 1659. Called the Protectors Parliament 2. An Army-Government thereupon 3. The Armies recalling in May after that now called the Rump-Parliament 4. That Parliaments laying aside the Protector in June next after 5. The breaking up in October of that Parliament so lately recalled 6. The bringing them back again in December 7. The again excluding them soon after by the coming in of the secluded Members 8. The secluded Members dissolving themselves in Aprill 1660. 9. The meeting of the present Parliament which may be Justly called the happy Parliament 10. The resettlement of the three Kingdoms on the basis of their ancient Government in his sacred Majesty by whom is all happiness and peace promised to his People Who could expect so much good from so much evil who could look for order from confusions and from overturnings of Foundations one after and upon another to find such a settlement as at this day it cannot but be acknowledged with astonishment to be The Lords doing and it is surely marvellous in our eyes Let therefore the day of such great things and of so many and publick mercies be precious and valued of us as was that day of Davids with his People This is the day which the Lord hath made Let us rejoyce and be glad in it Thus of these words as to David of whom the words have been in the Letter considered I shall now look on the words as they pass from David the Tipe unto Christ the Antitipe Christ is indeed he who is herein principally concerned to him are those words particularly applied that He is that stone which the builders refused and now made the head stone of the corner c. 22. 23. He himself speaks so of himself pointing to this very Scripture in that parable of the husband mens not receiving but refusing and slaying him the Son sent by the Lord of the Vineyard to them Math. 21. 42. Of him also is that spoken by the Apostle Peter Acts 4. 10. 11. 1 Pet. 2. 6 7 8. and Paul Eph. 2. 20. the following words also v. 26. Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord are applied to him and yet more particularly 1. That Jesus Ghrist was that stone refused by builders is evident That he is now made the chief stone of the corner who knoweth not and who could but stand amazed at that great work to see one so dispised of men cast off and cast out and to be dead and three dayes buried and yet after all this raised again and exalted above all Angels and Men and all being made subject unto him the Emphasis of all is laid here that he having been so low is now raised and exalted above all Him saith Aplc. being delivered by the determinate Counsel and foreknowledg of God ye have taken and by wicked hands have crucified and slain Whom God hath raised up Acts. 2. 23 24. This Jesus hath God raised up v. 32. That same Jesus whom ye have crucified hath God made both Lord and Christ v. 36. We see Jesus who was made a little lower then the Angels for the suffrings of death crowned with glory and honour Heb. 2. 9 He made himself of no reputation and took upon him the form of a Servant and was made in the likeness of Men and being found in fashion as a Man he humbled himself and became obedient unto death even the death of the Cross Wherefore God also hath highly axalted him and given him a name which is above every name that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow of things in Heaven and things in Earth and things under the Earth and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father Phil. 2. 7 8 9 10 11. In all which you see him who was the stone so refused by the builders to become now the head stone of the corner and that this is the Lords doing and marvellous in our eyes This of Christs glory is the day here pointed at this is the day c. Which his day strictly taken is the day of his resurrection his first step into glory from his humbled condition that having been before dispised he was then exalted above all Or this his day may be taken in a greater Latitude for all the degrees of his exaltation together then is this the day or of his glory begun in his resurrection and carried on to the fulness of glory of which he is now possessed for evermore in which is the ground of this joy here expressed by his People This is the day which the Lord hath made we will rejoyce and be glad in it You have hitherto heard of the Lords making or the Lords work in making this day for his People You have seen it as
