A50026	Sionis reductio, & exultatio. Or, Sions return out of captivity with Sions reioycing for her return. A discourse, intended for the solemn festivity of the English nation, at Livorno in Italy, upon the happy news of King Charles the Second his return into England, which was there celebrated with munificent feasting, and magnificent shows, fire-works, and other signs of triumph, three days together, in the month of July anno Dom. 1660. Since occasionally preached in part, at St. Margarets in Westminster, the Sonday [sic] after the solemnization of the Kings birth-day, and entry into London; and now presented to publick view, as to correct the mis-apprehension, and mis-interpretation of some that were present; so to prevent the mis-information, and depravation of others that were absent. By Ro. le Grosse, cleric. An orthodox priest of the Church of England; and D. Oecumenical, then residing in Livorno, at his return from grand Cairo in Egypt.

persecuting them with a fiery zeal even to the death because they will not continue in the same excess of licentiousness and wickedness with them He both comforts the people of God that are renewed in the spirit of their minds by minding them that God doth take care of them and plead their cause against the Ungodly for them in the beginning of the Psalm and encourages them still to persevere in the wayes of piety and uprightness notwithstanding their great affliction and persecution by giving them hopes of better dayes in the latter end of the Psalm when as by grievous plagues and judgements inflicted on their Enemies Christ the Captain of our salvation the Son of righteousness like the Sun coming out of a Cloud should appear and manifest himself unto them with healing in his wings Malach. 4.2 Mal. 4.2 So that in short these 2. things 1. The Deliverance of Gods Church and People And 2. The Confusion and Overthrow of their Enemies are the Sum and Argument as of this so of the 53. Psalm following And indeed if we seriously peruse the holy Scriptures with an imperfunctory eye with an eye not negligently disposed we shall observe that these two things 1. The final Deliverance of Gods people from the hands of their Enemies though they be for a while in distress and captivity under them which in the beginning of my Text is prayed for And 2. The final Destruction and Confusion of Gods and his Peoples Enemies though they be for a while exalted and in power over them which is here fore prophecied in the latter end of my Text are the sum and substance as of these two so of many others in the Book of the Psalms Yea the whole story of the Scriptures if you will take the pains to revolve them your selves or believe the judgement of Divines who have read them over and commented upon them is as you shall find nothing else but a Calender of them In these you shall read 1. That the Lord of Hosts Isa 1.9.24 the God of Israel is El-Nekamoth a God of Vengeance against his Enemies Deut. 32.35 And 2. Deut. 32.35 That the same God the God of Peace Heb. 13.20 Heb. 13.20 A Letter but changed is El-Nechamoth a God of Comfort to his People 2 Cor. 1.3 2 Cor. 1.3 And as he is served and pleased by men so his Creatures also they are ready to serve and please him both for the defence of his people and the offence of those that hate them So you shall find in Genesis that the Cherubims hold a flaming Sword in their hand to repress Gods Enemies Gen. 3.24 Gen. 3.24 And yet they have their wings spread abroad to relieve shadow and succour his Friends Ezek. 1.11 Ezek. 1.11 In Exodus you may read likewise that the Cloud was a mist of darkness to confound the Egyptians Exod. 13.21 Exod. 13.21 And the same Cloud was a pillar of fire to give light and conduct to the Israelites V. 22. V. 22. And in the same Book at their departure out of Egypt the water from beneath was a gulf to swallow up and drown Pharaoh and his Host that did pursue them Exod. 14.28 Exod. 14.28 And yet the same water was a wall of defence to Gods people on their right hand and on their left to give them safe passage towards the Land of Canaan V. 29. Exod. 14.29 So during their Captivity in Babylon to omit many other instances which might be induced for confirmation both before their going in and whilst they were in possession of the promised Land you may observe that the fiery Furnace which was heated seven times more than ordinary it was a Paradice as it were to the 3. Children the servants of God that were cast bound into it because they would not obey Nebuchadnezzers Decree against Gods Command Dan. 3.22 Dan. 3.22 And the same Furnace became a Gehenna or place of Torment to their Enemies that threw them into it V. 25. V. 25. Observe it where you will and you shall find still that these two the Deliverance of Gods People and the Destruction of their Enemies go still together for the most part not only in most of the Psalms but to speak truth in most part of the Scripture And as they still go together so you may take notice likewise that though sometimes they be intercepted yet they alwayes end in the safeguard of the Church which is here both prayed for and fore-prophecied also in my Text. This is the Conclusion of all Prophecies of all Judgements of all Miracles past or present new or old this is the Sum and the Catastrophe of them And so I pass from the outward Court as it were of the Title and Argument of the Psalm in general to enter into the inner Temple and treat of the words of my Text in particular Quis dabit Or Oh si quis det Who will give Salvation Or Oh that Salvation were given unto Israel out of Sion Oh that the Lord would turn the Captivity of his people When the Lord turneth the Captivity of his People then shall Jacob rejoyce and Israel shall be right glad The words may be read apprehended and treated of three several wayes according to the judgement of Expositors Either 1. Historically and according to the Letter 2. Mystically and according to the Figure 3. Analogically and according to the use we may make of them First If we read them Historically and according to the Letter It is true 1. Historically that the Deliverance of Gods people in the time of King Saul by bringing David that was appointed by God to be King over Israel 1 Sam. 13.14 1 Sam. 13.14 And annointed by Samuel according to Gods Commandement King over Israel 1 Sam. 16.13 1 Sam. 16.13 to the Kingdom was worthy to be wished for and that with ardency and zeal of affection because good Princes after the raign of Tyrants is like the Sun in a comfortable shine after the tedious darkness and dark irksomeness of a great storm But this is not all which the Text doth aim at and imply and therefore in the next place Secondly We must read the words Mystically 2 Mystically and according to the Figure looking to the substance of which this History was but a Type which is in Christ the Son of David according to the flesh as St. Paul doth stile him Ro. 1.3 In whom this wish Ro. 1.3 or prayer hath its accomplishment Which in effect is this Oh that Christ the Saviour of Israel were come out of Sion And it is the same with the ardent desires of the people of God in the 53. Psalm which concludes in the same tenou● Psal 5.36 Se●…gi●… in loc and with the very same words 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 for so the Septuagint render the original in that form Who will give Salvation to Israel out of Sion or Oh that
