King David is a President to Kings in Thankfulness as well as Deliverance Psal 116.12 13 14. I will take the Cup of Salvation and call upon the name of the Lord What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits towards me I will take the Cup of Salvation and call upon the name of the Lord I will pay my Vows now in the presence of all his People precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his Saints Here David most thankfully praises the Goodness of God in that he would not gratifie his Enemies so far as to give them leave to take away his Life 2. Kings when declar'd Favourites of Heaven by signal Deliverances should study to promote the Honour and Glory of that God who did deliver them And in this King David will direct them for after the forementioned Deliverance Psal 116. v. 16 17. he professes O Lord truly I am thy Servant and the Son of thy Handmaid thou hast broken my bands I will offer to thee the Sacrifice of Thanksgiving and will call upon the Name of the Lord in our dialect that is O Lord I am now and ought to be more devout diligent and zealous in thy Service than formerly for thou hast strengthened all thy former Obligations by this fresh one of my wonderfull Deliverance thou hast redeemed my Life and therefore the chief business of my Life must be to advance thy Glory and Honour It is the reasonable Duty of Kings to be zealous for God's Glory especially when they have experienced how Jealous God is for their Preservation and in truth I now think it seasonable to give you one account of the late Revolution it may be a standing warning not only to Kings and Princes but to persons in far lower stations Who could expert other than that the Crown should tumble from the Head of the late unhappy King for did he not by all ways imaginable discountenance and tread under foot the true Worship of God Was it any more than Justice that such a Prince as should erect Houses for Idolatry should find his own Palace made desolate What wonder was it to see the Peoples Hearts taken from such a Prince as had estrang'd his own from God But not the King only but we and all the Inhabitants of the Land nay our Posterity have a share in this gracious Deliverance 1. Therefore it is our Duty by all true and acceptable ways to express our Thankfulness and also to leave this Deliverance upon Record that the Ages to come may bless the Name of God when they read how wonderfully he preserv'd us our Religion Laws Lives Liberties and Land from the Enemy that was so wrathful so subtile so powerfull so cruel and in a way so hopefull to ruine and destroy us Oh that we had Hearts to praise the Name of God as we ought and that we may hearken unto the Prophet David Psal 118.1 Oh give thanks unto the Lord for he is good because his Mercy endureth for ever Had God forgotten to be Gracious had the Fountain of his Love been exhausted we had certainly perish'd when desperate Men thus rose up against us V. 2. Let Israel now say that his Mercy endureth for ever Let all that are true Israelites that are Protestants in Deed as well as Name declare and confess that God is still Gracious and Mercifull for though our sins have long cry'd for Judgment against us yet our God still exercises Mercy and Goodness towards us 3. Let the House of Aaron now say that his Mercy endureth for ever Let all that God hath called to wait at his Altar and to minister about Holy Things praise the Lord in his Temple and make his Name glorious Let them acknowledge that God's Mercy is everlasting for had their Enemies prevail'd either they had been driven from or murdered at the Altars of God 4. Let them now that fear the Lord say that his Mercy endureth for ever Let all that truly fear God be they of what Nation or Language soever be they Protestants or Papists Church-men or Dissenters Let all that name themselves Christians give God the Praise Honour and Glory belonging to his Name But Thanks are nothing worth if they are only made up of Words and do not effect the Heart with Piety and Devotion therefore 2. The next Duty of the Day is to be so thankful as to endeavour after Reformation to praise God in Holiness that is by holy Lives and Conversations God hath saved you out of the hand of your Enemies do not you therefore harbour any of his Enemies in your Hearts it is a great Mistake to think that we are delivered to continue longer in our Sins therefore if the right Praises of God are in your mouths let the two-edged Sword of his Word be in your hands to take Vengance of all his Enemies your Sins and Vices 3. Let our Thankfulness to God for delivering our King and us learn us the Duty of Allegiance Shall God appear so wonderfully in the King's Defence and shall not we take that notice of it as to direct our Love and Affection where God manifests his Our Reason our Interest would easily confute all disloyal Principles if we did attend their Teachings but could they not yet our Religion and Salvation would tell us it is our Duty to Love Honour Obey and Stand by that King by whose Preservation God hath preserved all that is near and dear to us 4. The Deliverance of this Day should press us to love Unity and Concord among our selves whatever Difference may be in Mens Judgments and Opinions there ought to be none in their Affections The Church of God is frequently compar'd to a Ship And now if the Winds rage without and the Mariners are at variance what can be expected but Shipwrack It is high time therefore in a common Danger to consult a Community of Love and Affection and the rather because is the Maxim our Enemies steer by Divide Impera Divide them and Conquer them Now God of his infinite Mercy teach all and every of us these and all other our Duties in this great Day of our Deliverance that we bringing forth such Fruit as answers God's Expectation may see our King sitting fast upon the Holy Hill of Sion and our Jerusalem in Prosperity all our Lives long Amen Amen FINIS ADVERTISEMENT THere was lately Printed a SERMON Preached by the same Author on the Association in which the Printer unhappily Omited the Word France in the King's Titles beginning the Dedication

The Protestant King PROTECTED THE Popish KINGS Detected and Defeated IN A SERMON PREACH'D At St. James Clarkenwell April 16. 1696. being the Day of Publick Thanksgiving for the Deliverance of His Majesty K. William III. from Assassination and His Kingdoms from Invasion by the FRENCH By DEUEL PEAD Chaplain to His Grace JOHN Duke of NEW-CASTLE LONDON Printed for T. Parkhurst at the Bible and Three Crowns in Cheapside MDCXCVI THE Protestant KING protected c. Psal II. 1 2 3 4 5 6. 1. Why do the Heathen rage and the People imagine a vain thing 2. The Kings of the Earth set themselves and the Rulers take Counsel together against the Lord and his Anointed saying 3. Let us break their Bands asunder and cast their Cords from us 4. He that sitteth in Heaven shall laugh the Lord shall have them in Derision 5. Then shall he speak unto them in his Wrath and vex them in his sore Displeasure 6. Yet have I set my King upon my holy Hill of Sion THis is a Day of Thanksgiving a Time of rejoicing not that Babylon is utterly fallen but because two Kings and their People who have committed Fornication with her are confounded in their black and bloody Designs When I first turn'd my Eyes to this Psalm and consider'd it as apply'd to our Saviour I did conceive the Tragedy committed upon him might guide me in describing that of this time but I soon found though in some Circumstances there was a resemblance as that the High Priest Scribes Pharisees and Rulers of the People laid and cherished the Design and that Loyalty and Allegiance to Caesar were pretended to give it the greater Countenance and also they were so far alike that the Devil had a part in it perswading one Disciple to betray another to deny and the rest to abandon him Yet there were other Particulars that did vastly differ as that the Jews aimed at a single Person the Plotters of this Day at multitudes of People young and old The Jews carried theirs on by a Form of Law they had their Sanhedrim C●●ap●●● and Pilate on their side but these Men design d to perpetrate their Villainy by Fire Sword Blood and Cruelty Again the Jews declare that what they did was from a Principle of Fear Joh. 11.48 for fear the Romans should come and take away their Place and Nation their Religion and Country they were forced as they thought to conspire against Jesus But now the bloody Treason at this time was therefore invented and hatch'd that Men of Romish Principles might have had the opportunity of destroying our King our Religion our Laws our Liberties our Lives our Wives Children and Country by introducing Popery and Slavery Disappointed therefore of my first Expectation I consider'd the Words with relation to David and his Affairs and so though I found many things paralel yet not all The Plot against him was very wicked but this of our Time exceeds it However seeing I cannot be so exact as I desir'd I must be content to go so far as I may The Words read acquaint us with a desperate Contrivance against the Crown and Dignity the Life and Person of King David and also they give us an Account of a seasonable and glorious Deliverance In the Plot we are to consider of Four Particulars I. The Persons contriving and carrying it on First The Heathen Secondly The People Thirdly Kings Fourthly Rulers II. The distinct Parts of every one of these First The Heathen raged Secondly The People imagined Thirdly The Kings stood up Fourthly The Rulers took Counsel III. The Persons against whom they plot The Lord and David his Anointed King IV. The End and Design of this Plot. Let us break their Bands asunder and cast their Cords from us In the Deliverance we must consider 1. The Success of the Plot. All that these imagined was vain 2. The Person working this Deliverance He that sitteth in Heaven 3. The Means by which it was wrought First He laughed at the Conspirators and had them in Derision Secondly He spake unto them in his Wrath. Thirdly He vexed them in his sore Displeasure Fourthly He established his Anointed Yet have I c. 4. The Time then when Matters as they thought were ripe and beyond disappointment 1. We begin with the Persons and their Actions And first the Heathen raged The Philistines Moabites and Edomites were in a great Heat against David understanding so religious and Warlike a Prince a Prince that had an undoubted Title having married Saul's Daughter was come to the Crown they now despaired of ever driving Israel out of Canaan and therefore they ●●ged tumultuabantur turmatim congregabantur they murmured and gathered together in a grievous Rage and Tumult against him they raged bitterly against David and Israel's Success and Prosperity 2. The second sort of Enemies are called the People and their part in this Plot was they imagined a vain thing The People i. e. David's own Subjects who should have both known and behaved themselves better yet these being poisoned by the Heathen imagined vain false foolish and wicked things against their King vain things such as they had no occasion for nor could expect any benefit by I will instance in one of these vain Imaginations 2 Sam. 2.8 Abner with a perverse Tumult set up Ishbosheth Saul's younger Son who had no more Right to the Crown of Israel than the pretended Prince of Wales hath to ours God having excluded him by electing David and this was foolish in that the Person design'd by them for the Throne was too weak and unable for Government and also because it was apparently contradictory to the Order of the King of Kings For when Men have done all they can it is God that putteth down one and setteth up another it is but labour in vain for the Wit and Power of the World to attempt the deposing a King against God's Consent and as fruitless it is to endeavour the restoring one he doth not favour 3. The next sort of Enemies were Persons of greater Eminency and Power and therefore might hope to speed better These were Kings of the Earth as the Kings of the Moabites the Kings of Syria and Edom and with them join'd the Lords of the Philistins and their part was to stand up against David to raise an Army and invade his Country Reges adstiterunt Standing up denotes utmost endeavour of an adverse Party standing in the way as the Angel did against Balaam with a drawn Sword These Kings saw they could not prevent David's Accession to the Crown and therefore now they muster up their Forces if possible to take it from his Head but their standing up was every whit as vain as the Heathens rage or the Peoples imagining For read Psal 60 8. In a short time Moab became David's Wash-pot and over Edom he cast his Shoe that is he reduc'd them to what they deserv'd namely a State of Subjection and Slavery 4. The next Enemies
