A DEFIANCE TO DEATH Being The Funebrious Commemoration of the Right Honourable Baptist Lord Hickes Viscount Camden late deceased Preached at Camden in Gloucester-shire Nouember 8. 1629. By IOHN GAVLE LONDON Printed by Thomas Harper for Robert Allot and are to be sold at his Shop in Pauls Church-yard at the signe of the Blacke Beare 1630. To the truely Honourable and religious Ladies Iulian Viscountesse Camden and Mary Lady Cooper Daughters to the late right Honourable Baptist Lord Hickes Viscount Camden the blessings of both this and the life to come Most Noble and vertuous Ladies TO whom should I dedicate the memoriall of your deceased Father but to you in whom he liues Who mee thinkes but his Monuments may challenge his commemoration Besides the life hee was personally possessed of you are his deriued life and he yet liues and long may he though not in himselfe yet in his Successions Yet alas how much rather had you I know to haue still enioyed then thus supplyed his life But you are not ignorant how nature abides not alwayes but succeedes how God but lends not bindes your friends to your inioyment He was giuen you to be taken from you yours hee was to vse rather then possesse yours in his life name vertues graces to inherit and not yours in an earthly being to ingrosse Therefore had you him to lose him and must therefore be contented with his losse yea ought indeed to reioyce rather that once yee had him then sorrow that now ye haue him not Grant it cannot bee but a griefe to misse him so neither but a ioy to remember him It was an happinesse more delighting when you might reioyce in his presence but is an happinesse more lasting that you may yet reioyce in his remembrance You both beyond the common lot and hap were much and long happy in a double Parent the losse of one now admonishes yea applaudes you to esteeme another Parent and feare anothers losse But I spare from further repetitions of your losse lest while I would striue to consolate and appease them I rather prooue but to renew your sorrow prouoke your feare For mine owne part who reckon my selfe not the least in his losse I count it euen as enuy to bewayle the happy and but folly forlornely to sorrow for him that certainly reioyces for himselfe Neuerthelesse for losse of friends forbid I no man to mourne but murmure and despaire Such our sorrowes are but the late tokens of our loue and must as wel be moderate as vnfaigned Neither should our hearts in this case be flinty nor effeminate nor our eyes alwayes dropping nor altogether dry For me I like neither to bee niggardly nor prodigall of my teares neither to be desperate nor ambitious of my complaints I say no more of this sorrow and losse because I would not packe them vp or decke them vp in words onely Thus much haue I written because I would not that a priuate houre should extinguish or ingrosse them What I haue herein presumed besides the comfort I trust you shall receiue by it this also shall comfort mee that you daigne to receiue it Your good Ladiships in all humble obseruance IOHN GAVLE A DEFIANCE TO DEATH 1 COR. 15.55 Oh death where is thy sting VPright Adam was made immortall but sinfull Adam begat all his Sonnes mortall like as hee had made himselfe Adam then is dead and so all Adams Sonnes but liue to dye The sentence of death past vpon vs in him wee are but borne to the execution thereof in our selues Euen as Adam himselfe for the necessity of dying Gen. 2.17 dyed the same day that hee sinned though for the euent and issue of death hee liued an hundred and thirty yeares after that day Gen. 5.5 So in him wee vnderwent the same necessity though it be for thousands of yeares after that wee are brought out to such an euent As a Malefactor is a dead man according to the law at that instant the sentence is pronounced vpon him though for some few dayes after the execution be deferred So according to Gods law and decree we are all dead in Adams doome though God bee yet pleased to prolong those things of ours wherein we must liue to dye accordingly as hee hath doomed vs. A malefactor is not executed sometimes of one two three foure fiue or sixe dayes after his iudgement Euen so were we all adiudged to dye before wee were but God with whom a thousand yeeres is but as one day hath appoynted the first second third fourth fifth or sixt thousand yeare of the world to be the day of our execution There is a more necessity vpon our death then our life No such need that hee that is not should be as that he that now liues should once dye The former may be supposed but this other is expressed It is appoynted for all men once to dye Heb. 9.27 There is alwaies a more necessity of the End then Meanes Not onely in execution but intention is death the end of life Mortinati sumus wee are borne to dye and dye from the time that we are borne Our birthday what is it but the beginning of our death-day our death-day what but the end of our birth day our birth-day precedes or happens before our death-day but our death-day is preferred before our birth-day The day of death is better then the day that one is borne Eccles 7.3 Did wee so consider it our birth-day is indeed a punishment and our death-day in comparison a reward Vt suppliciam non sit nasc● mors efficit Death is as the remedy against the miseries of life and to dye is but to rest from those labours and cease from those sorrowes whereunto wee were borne What a plague and punishment were our birth-day into a sinfull and miserable world did not our death-day giue an end to all such euils both of sinne and paine I said our birth-day is the beginning of our death-day and our death-day but the end of our birth-day We are deceiued to call the day of our departure onely the day of our death On our last day indeed we cease to liue but from our first day wee beginne to dye Consummat hora mortem extrema non facit Our last day doth not cause death but consummate it doth rather finish then beginne it It is not the extream and vtmost minute of our life that brings death vpon vs it rather but manifests that death was alwayes with vs. As spake the Prophet of persecutions Wee are killed all the day long Psal 44.22 1 Cor. 15.31 and the Apostle Paul concerning his owne sufferings I dye daily So though no violence come against vs euen through natures owne frailty wee dye daily and by fatall mortality we are killed all the day long We dye daily from the time we first beginne to liue On our first day our life is the longest euery day after takes one day from our liues and
