Gilboah vpon you bee neither dewe nor rayne nor fieldes of offering for then the shield of the mightie is cast downe The shield of Saul as though he had not beene annointed with oyle The mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddo where Iosias was slaine wil neuer bee forgotten where euery familie mourned a part c. and vttered their passions with this pitifull plaint the Crowne of our head is fallē woe vnto vs that euer we sinned Lastly that one may stand for all I appeale to your owne passions who haue at any time seene your own soueraigne whether your teares of ioy haue not expressed your feare of griefe mourning like the Turtle-Doue whose sweetest song is in her sorrowe least hauing lost her mate shee should not finde him and hauing found her mate least shee might loose him thousands within the kingdome doe thus blend in their moyst and mixt teares vpon the sight and thoughts of their soueraigne And here leaue we the peoples passions and come wee to their praier the sweete perfume of their deuotion in these wordes LORD remember Dauid in all his affliction Wherein first I doe obserue in that the people flye to GOD for their King with no lesse loue then loyaltie they hold that the powers that are ordained of God they hold that he looseth the collar of kings girdeth their loynes with a girdle they hold that he sitteth in the middest of magistrats demandeth an accoūt of their gouernment I say they hold that it is hee and hee alone that setteth vp and pulleth downe that leadeth his people along by the hands of Moses and Aaron Wee say then with him who saide well Abrahamum non invenit dominus sed fecit patrem multarum gentium the Lord did not finde Abraham but hee made him a father of many nations hee called him from Hur of the Chaldeans Moses from the sedges Dauid frō the Ewes great with lābe to feede Iacob his people and Israel his inheritance Nay Christ Iesus king of kings and Lord of lords not by intrusion but by inauguration from his father thus I will set my king vpon my holy hill of Sion Aske of mee and I will giue thee the heathen for thine inheritance and the vttermost parts of the earth for thy possession Antichristian then miserable damnable is the doctrine of all such as dare say that Popes may either set vp or pull down Princes discharge the subiect of his obedience put a knife in the hād of any to sheath it in the bowels of their soueraignes Antichristian was the practise of that proude Pope who trod vpon the neck of Kings Emperours made them to hold his stirrop because they held not steddily tripped the crownes frō their heads Ego et r●x meus argued neither faith nor frailty in Cardinal Wolfey I may fastly say it was disloyaltie in Warwicke to giue out that he had rather make a King then be a King nay nay prowd peare it was neuer in thy power to make a King for the making of a King is the worke of a God and if it be true of all things much more of a Kings The Lord giueth and the Lord taketh away as it pleaseth the Lord so come things to passe Then cease your malice you miscreants of states for you can neuer preuaile against the Lord the powers that be are ordained of God who resisteth them resisteth the ordinance of God Is it possible to back the Sun Moone or Stars in their speedy course can ye hush the harmonie of the heauens or stil the raging of the sea cā ye alter the course of the yeare of seede time haruest of winter sōmer of the day of the night can ye either giue ●ife or deliuer fro death can ye create a new world with another gouernmēt then may ●ye resist the Lords ordinance in this Alter states pluck away all power from a powerfull God But it is not in you or your Romane God ô yee popish repiners it s not your boysterous bull can push downe a Prince it s not the croaking of your frogges and Locusts your Iesuited crew and Seminarie broode can blast our doctrine blemish our state or bereaue vs of our Soueraigne disquiet you may destroy you may not for the offences of the people there be many Princes if our sins sacke vs not wee shall neuer fall if the Lord say prosper how can our branch wither and if he say from heauen ride on because of the word of truth of meekenes and of righteousnes who dare say from the earth light off ride rule and raigne no more trayterous is the hart that thinkes it trayterous is the mouth that speakes it trayterous is the hand that works it trayterous is the pen that writes it And yet woe is me to tell this our age and climate is pestered with men of such poysoned breathes who dare both thinke say doe and write that a mortall man may manage kingdomes and authorise subiects to depriue their Princes as if the powers that be were not ordained of God their faculties are of force their bulles are divulged their antichristian doctrine is traduced by Symancha Costerus and Dolman who haue blackened the aire with their derne diuinitie whilest they auerre that subiects may rise rebell kill their kings if they be not pleasing to their deuotion Augustine mourned much for that hee had euer read against the true God Tonantem Iouem adulterantem of a thundering God and of an adulterous God for so deemed the Pagans of their Iupiter Capitolinus Much more may Papists grieue that euer they either read or reuerenced in the place of God their capital Pope tonantem adulterantem a cursing God and a carnall God adulterating states and cursing Kings and yet to God be the praise his Bul bolts are but birdboults blunted by a better God witnes the flourishing blessed estate both of our Church and kingdome vnder the happie gouernment of our dread Soueraigne by whom the Lord hath multiplied our nation increased our ioy and neuer with no blessings powred vpon her from heauen then since Impius Quintus cursed her from the earth for she liueth a blessed Prince and he is dead a cursed Pope and if any trayterous Bechry the sonne of rebellious Iemini haue in his heart so bad a thought or in his mouth so foule a word kindled with heate of that bull as to say A precibus ad praelium frō prayers to your pikes and to your tents ô Israel we haue no part in Queene Elizabeth let the iudgement of Bechry fall vpon him and let all the people say Amen And let this suffice for the second obseruation teaching vs by the example of this religious and passionate people praying for their king that who plead or practise the contrarie doe violate the Lords holy ordinance and lay violent

establish the same Ezekiah brought in the Priests and the Leuites and gathered them into the east streete to sanctifie the house of the Lord God and to cary forth the filthines out of the sanctuarie Queene Elizabeth called home her exiled ministers Leuites from Geneua Frankeford Zuricke and most parts of Germany to purge the sanctuarie of it pollutions and to cast forth the filthines thereof Ezekia at the very first tooke away the high places and defaced the Images and cut downe the groaues hee brake in peeces the brasen serpent that Moses had made for vnto those daies the children of Israel did burne incense to it and called it in contempt of that their Idolatry no more a Serpent but Nehushtan a peece of brasse What were your Altars of stone but high places And what were your Roode loftes Celles and shrines of Saints but groaues of superstition what was all your Imagetie with lights lampes Pax and palmes but grosse Idolatrie whereunto England burned incense to the Queene of heauen till Elizabeth came but then euen at the first downe they went and broke they were by her princely power and warrantie the careasses whereof lye at this day monuments of popissi Idolatry and of her maiesties blessed reformation with this disdaine what are they now but stick and stone and worse then Nehushtan brused brasse The Temple being purged and Imagery defaced the King with his Princes prepared for the sacrifice euen a sinne offering for the Kingdome and for the sanctuarie and for Iuda with a burnt sacrifice and an offering of praise vnto the Lord in the words of Dauid and Asaph the Seer they sung Psalmes they blewe the Trumpets and so they praised the Lord with ioy bowed themselues and worshipped whereat Ezechia reioyced and all the people that GOD hadde made them so readie for the thing was done suddenly Queene Elizabeth hauing purged the Church of England of that pregnant Idoll the Masse what hath shee lesse done then prepared for the holy Sacrament of the blessed death and passion of our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ a sinne offering in deede for the Kingdome for the sanctuarie and for this our English Iuda And how often sithence hath shee sanctified it with her praier honoured it with her presence her Virgines Peeres and people bearing her companie with Trumpet Organ Voyce and V●all that GOD hadde made here her people so religious for the thing was done suddenly and I pray God wee haue not lost a part of that our first loue that our Manna growe not lothsome that wee bee not colder now then wee were then and that the first tenne yeares doe not blemish the last twentie of her gratious raigne what euer it is mee thinkes there is a want both of faith to God and fealtie towardes the Prince Graunt Lord wee may bee zealous and amend Ezechia came to his raigne in desperate times when Ahaz his father had peruerted the state both of Church and common-weale fetched Altars from Damascus and sacrificed his sonnes to the fire became tributarie vnto Assur exiled the godly of Iudah and had brought in the abhominations of Babel and subscribed to Tiglath Pilesar King of Assur saying I am thy seruant and thy Sonne Euen so Queene Elizabeth beganne her raigne in desperate times when her Sister had shaken the State with no lesse fearefull then fiery designes fetched Altars from Rome and sacrificed her chiefest subiects to the fire exiled the godlie of the land brought in Straungers because a vassall to the Pope and subscribed to his power saying I am thy Seruant I am thy Hand-mayde Ezechiah withstood Assur payed him no tribute yeelded him no homage resisted Rabsechah and endured his rayling with a Princely patience committting the successe to God who made him glorious by deliuerance And did not our gratious soueraigne withstand the Pope all his vassall Kings Did she not discharge herselfe and people of all Tribute Toll and Taxe that way Hath shee not endured the raylings of many Romish Rabsecahes with a Princelie patience and hauing committed the successe of all her affaires to God is shee not made glorious by deliuerance whiles they are a dead accursed and cursing crue and yet she liueth a blessed Queene long may we say to our solace and their sorrow liue liue It is said of Ezechia that the Lord saued him and the inhabitants of Hierusalem from the hand of Zenacharib King of Assur and from the handes of all other and maintained them on euery side good LORD how haue the Leaguers cast their hands together with one consent consederate against thine annointed thy Church and people in England Gebal and Ammon and Amalecke the Philistimes with them that dwell at Tyre I meane the Tabernacles of Romish Edomites whose crie was downe with it downe with it euen to the ground let vs take to our selues the house of

offerings vnto the LORD ●● Hierusalem and presents to Hezechia King of Iuda so that hee was magnified in the sight of all nations from thenceforth they persecuted Churches of other Kingdomes and poore exiled Christians let them speake to the comfort of their soules with how great ioy and gladnesse their offerings here in England haue beene tendered by them and receiued by vs let them speake to the honour of our Queene and countrey how liberally they haue bin maintained when they hadde nothing to feede vpon but winde and aire yea and what nation is there in whose sight Queene Elizabeth is not

sweet odors and of shields of al pleasant vessels store-houses for the increase of wheate wine and oyle stals for all beasts and ranges for the stables The Lord hath blessed our Queene with his hidden
