A SERMON PREPARED To be preached at the FUNERALL of WALTER NORBANE Esq BY W. HAYWOOD Dr. in DIVINITY One of the Chaplains in ordinary to his late MAJESTY of Glorious Memory LONDON Printed for Richard Thrale at the Cross-Keyes at S. Pauls-Gate entring into Cheapside 1660. To the truly Virtuous and Worthy Mistress Mary Norbane Relict of Walter Norbane Esq deceased THat I had no desire or meaning thus to appear in print when I first undertook this Funeral Sermon I suppose on my single asseveration will easily be believed But that the Sermon should be at the very instant of the delivery in so honourable so full an Audience defeated and silenced is a thing not so easie to be believed without the attestation of many Witnesses That one single person usurping the Office of a Minister but neither a Graduate nor in Orders nor scant of Age to be nor ever intending as I am informed any way old or new to be should by his clamorous impudence and shameless railing confound such a Solemnity silence the Preacher appearing in the Pulpit and drive all that met to do honour to the memory of so worthy a Gentleman out of the Church without any Sermon is an example of pity and boy-like petulance such as I think can hardly be paralelled Especially sith neither the deceased Gentleman for ought I know nor the Preacher had ever affronted or provoked the said insolent Party in word or deed My own wrong I thank God I least value having learned by experience to bear many causeless injuries with patience But the wrong done to the deceased a singular Ornament to this Countrey and to his Profession together with the injury and contempt of so noble an Auditory consisting of Lords Knights Parliament-men Esquires Gentlemen Officers of the County and Reverend Divines so many as in divers years hath not been seen in Caln-Church the like Congregation such an insolence may not so well be passed over in silence nor so Worthy a Company utterly defrauded of what they came to hear I have therefore yielded to the request of divers friends that the Sermon may be published and not buried with him whose Memory and Vertues deserves never to be buried And I have thought fit to dedicate it to you by whose request it was undertaken and who can best witnesse how little I sued or sought for the employment Beseeching God it may help to mitigate your sorrow for so invaluable a losse and add somewhat to your comfort and remain as a Monument of his good will to you and yours who is many wayes obliged to be and to continue Your truly loving Friend and Neighbour WILLIAM HAYVVOOD A SERMON At the Funeral of Walter Norbane Esq April 13 1659. at Calne Church in Wiltshire prepared to be preached ROM 6.5 For if we have been planted together into the likeness of his Death we shall be also into the likeness of his Resurrection OF Christs Death and Resurrection it is that the Apostle here speaks exhorting us to be planted into the one that we may attain to the likeness of the other The time of the year borders upon the annual Memory of our Saviours Death and Resurrection and it is a season also of planting and growing up but God hath made it to our great sorrow a time of felling and hewing down We have beheld the fall of this worthy Gentleman whose remainders lie here before us as the fall of some great Tree under whose shadow many lesser plants were shelter'd A Tree of no little ornament benefit relief and comfort to the poor Inhabitants of this place wherein he lived And much to our sorrow it adds that there appears not so near again any of like dignity age and fair abilities to compare with him Howbeit if we could be perswaded this cutting down were but a new Plantation and a plantation of great advantage to him how much loss soever to us that might avail somewhat to mitigate our sorrow And that I suppose this Text may help to perswade us for there we hear of a plantation into Christs Death so that Death it self to them that are in Christ is but a kind of plantation and their burial a kind of sowing So our Apostle 1 Cor. 15.42 It is sown in corruption it is raised in incorruption It is sown in dishonour it is raised in glory it is sown in weaknesse it is raised in power So our blessed Saviour Except a Corn of wheat fall into the ground and die it abideth alone but if it die it bringeth forth much fruit John 12.24 Christ himself therefore chose to die and his Burial to him proved but a planting His Body in three dayes rose again with an encrease of Immortality and Christ neither died nor rose for himself but is become the first fruits of them that sleep and the pattern of them that shall rise again For as is the Heavenly Adam so they also that are heavenly And as we have born the Image of the earthy we shall also bear the Image of the Heavenly But there must be a change first for flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God neither may corruption inherit incorruption There must be a plantation therefore first into the death of Christ a fellowship with his sufferings as St. Paul calls it a conformity to his Passion which if we patiently undergo the Text then hath a comfortable promise that will not fail us For if we have been planted into the likeness of his Death we shall be also into the likeness of his Resurrection But it will be said Saint Paul speaks not here of our planting into Christ by a natural death but rather by a moral or a mystical for immediately before he instanceth in Baptism Buryed saith he by Baptism into death That like as Christ was raised by the glory of the Father so we should walk in newness of life And at the eleventh ver Likewise reckon ye your selves also to be dead unto sin but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So that the planting into our Saviours Death which Saint Paul here intends is by a death unto sin not by a death in the grave And this we deny not And even in this respect we have not only a comfortable Scripture over the dead but full of good instruction also and edification to the living So would Funeral Sermons be They are for the behoof of the living rather than the dead That as the Apostle saith of Prophesie He that prophesieth speaks unto men to edification and exhortation and comfort so by such preaching Christians might not only be comforted but edified likewise and exhorted Now for edification a Scripture more effectual can hardly be found than this For it comprehends the summe of all vertuous and godly living To be planted into Christs Death that thereby we may grow to his Resurrection that is To die to sin and live to Righteousness Cease to do evil and learn to do well Put off the
