The means hath been his hearts desire and the request of his lips Let him go to sea who will learn to pray faith the proverb No doubt but that Prince in the midst of the vast sea of his calamities among so many storms that went over his head being destitute of all supply from men hath had his recourse unto the Lord the only support of the afflicted souls and said often with David Out of the depths do I cry unto thee O Lord and with queen Elizabeth when she was carried from the Tower of London to the prison of Woodstock by order of queen Mary her sister Be merciful unto me O God be merciful unto me for my soul trusteth in thee yea in the shadow of thy wings do I make my refuge until the calamity be overpast In a word the Lord hath heard the desire of his heart and hath rewarded his persevering piety in the profession of the Reformed religion which he stedfastly kept in his heart notwithstanding wait hath been often laid to his conscience during the years of his banishment among the enemies of the Truth deceitful promises could not shake the stedfastness of his spirit Yet he hath been forced to swallow down the blame with the calamity as if he had been unfaithful to God therein But experience hath shewed the contrary that although he was surrounded with the thick clouds of Idolatry he hath ever preserved the purity of the worship of God in his family as a most learned and most orthodox Divine among his Domesticks an unreproachable witness before God and man hath assured us Yea and the event doth now shew us the contrary David faith Psal 66.18 If I regard iniquity in my heart the Lord will not hear me So had this Prince had any thought tending to the disadvantage of the Worship of God and of that flourishing Church of Christ in his Kingdoms the Lord would not have heard the desire of his heart But he hath heard it And therefore let us conclude that his conscience and his affection to the truth of the holy Gospel remained pure and sincere as he hath also protested in the midst of us A mighty argument to prove that God honoreth such as do honor him and are faithful to his service 3. The proofs of his deliverance are likewise manifest I. In general God hath prevented him with blessings The world did imagine that new Form of the Government of those Kingdoms to have taken root that the wound of that Revolution was now consolidated and that the ugly skar it had contracted could not be opened but by the edge of the sword But God's thoughts are not as mens thoughts As the Heavens are higher then the earth so are the ways of God higher then the ways of men Isa 55. Who untying and unfolding all those difficulties hath opened to this Prince a door whereat he hoped not to be able to enter when he thought upon the way of Arms wherein the Grace from above hath prevented him shewing him a surer an easier and a safer way for him and for his people II. In particular 1. He bath set a Crown upon his head yea and three Crowns are designed unto him And what is more it is God who setteth them on his head who by his mighty hand raiseth the hands of his subjects to set them with an unanimous consent upon his head Wherein his providence is yet more admirable then it hath been in the example of David sithence the Crown of Saul taken up in the battel was brought to David by an Amalekite 2 Sam. 1. after the same manner as that of Richard the 3. of whom we have spoken before was set on Henry the 7. his head in the Battel-field both by anticipation Whereas to this Prince it is offered after a mature deliberation of all his States To David it was presented he being in the Kingdom to this he being yet abroad David was only proclaimed King of Judah at the beginning of his reign for the other Tribes adhered yet to the son of Saul for two years But this is proclaimed King of all his Kingdoms without any opposition 2. The lengthening of days shall be the crowning of that admirable work of God which as David by the gift of prophefie promised unto himself so do we wish it to this Prince by our vows and prayers INSTRUCTION SOme might here say the same that sometimes one Sheba the son of Bichri said 2 Sam. 20.1 We have no part in David the interest of this King and of his Subjects is not our interest their joy is not our joy who live under and depend on other Magistrates and therefore have nothing common I answer it is true that as the Sea doth divide us so there is a diversity of Politick Government between us But there is another union besides that of the bodies viz. that of consciences whereby this Prince and his people do acknowledge themselves to be tied unto us and our Soveraign Magistrates and their Subjects do acknowledge to be tied unto them There are two several ties that binde us to our Superiors each Nation to their own but there is one only tie that ties us all to the King of Kings our Lord Jesus Christ as several lines drawn from the circumference of the circle do meet all in the centre which is in the middle so Jesus Christ and the purity of the holy Gospel is our common centre wherein we meet together as members of the same body as Subjects of the same King as Citizens of the same Spiritual Commonwealth So we have part in David so this King and his people are near related to us our interests are common our joyes common our advantages common our losses common And upon this account we pour this day our Prayers for that Prince That God the pleased to accomplish in and for him the excellen work be hath begun That be will lead him in his journey and bring him safe into his Kingdom to incline the hearts of all his subjects to him that all of them none excepted may imbrace him as their Father and Deliverer so to settle his Crown upon his Head that it may never be shaken hereafter To strengthen him against all foreign forces to protect him against the designs of his enemies against all dangers and inconveniences and to give him a flourishing and peaceable Reign that being made a joyful and contented King sitting upon his Throne he might all the days of his life acknowledge the Author and the manner of his deliverance Religiously remember the gracious Protection of god during the long tempest of his calamities and the wonders he hath wrought for his restauration That be might keep a holy correspondence with the State of these Vnited Provinces as his Ancestors have done and might shew the first effects of his acknowledgement by a fervent zeal to the repurgation of the Church of Jesus Christ of all those Sects and Heresies that have crept into
