MOST gracious Soueraigne I haue presumed to offer this Copie of my Sermon to your Maiestie as an accomptant for that which I did in your seruice Not for any doubt I haue of the Serenitie of your alowance but to conuince the calumniations of a tragicall trifler so farre transported for the losse of his Helena that he forgets all duties becomes a reuiler of the Prince of the people a false accuser of the brethren and an inhumane disquieter of a soule that liues with God Tantaene ais coelestibus irae The brethren to whom hee sends his narration are Reuerend in deed but so respectiue of the Churches tranquilitie that the idle sound of his Trumpet will make no Alarum Their consents did runne in the action or if a small number were doubtfull for a while some persons of Honour and right good place are yet aliue to testifie that most of them came willingly at the end of this Sermon to acknowledge their satisfaction Where such independencie is as hee insinuateth it may be shewed fairely and regularly without his Potlids or staues in corners But if our premises haue incongruous conclusions what validitie is there in his conclusions that haue no premises at all Superbo oculo veritas non videtur syncero patet God open his eyes that he may see the Princely care singlenesse and zeale of your Royall heart sparing no charge for setling this gouernment which hath beene most auncient and profitable in the Church That hee may praise God for the sweetnesse of your Nature as his countrymen vse to doe And pray to God for the length of your dayes continuance of your happy Raigne as all your subiects haue iust cause to doe So submitting my poore labours to the censure of your clemencie I will euer rest Your Maiesties dutifull subiect and deuoted Chaplaine Christopher Hampton THE COPIE OF A SERMON PREACHED AT GLASCO IN THE generall Assembly 1610. PSAL. 122. I reioyced greatly when they said vnto me we will goe into the house of the Lord. YOV shall better vnderstand the occasion that induced the Prophet Dauid to write this Psalme if you will first remember certaine things written of the Tabernacle in the Booke of Exodus and else-where It was called The Tabernacle of the Congregation because the people did assemble together at it for the seruice of God of Testimonie because it carryed manifest euidences of Gods presence amongst them It was portable and all things belonging to it were so because the people themselues had then no setled place of abode but wandred like pilgrimes in the wildernes by the space of fortie yeares And some whiles after they came into the Land of Promise it was carryed from place to place being first pitched in Gilgall Iosu 4. afterward in Silo Iosu 18. From thence the Arke was brought into the campe of the Israelites 1 Sam. 4. It was taken by the Philistimes sent back to Bethshemesh and last of all placed in Kiriath-iearim not in any publicke seate but in the house of Abinadab a priuate man So little was the care and respect that Saul had to Religion that the Arke of God was neglected and not sought vnto in his dayes 1 Chron. 13.3 But good Dauid inlarged it and with solempnitie of ioy brought it to Sion his owne Citie Where first he put it within a tent or Tabernacle For albeit God had foretold that he would not alwayes wander too and fro but would finde out a place of rest where his Sanctuarie should abide that place being not yet reuealed to Dauid he prouided curtaines and a tent whereunto it had beene wonted almost a thousand yeares But when he vnderstood that the Lord had chosen the hill of Sion to be an habitation for himselfe that there should be his rest for euer and that the people with vnanimitie did willingly entertaine the exercises of Religion in the same place As he was abashed to dwell in a house of Cedar and to leaue the Arke of God vnder Curtaines and thereupon resolued to build an house for God till the charge thereof was committed ouer to Salomon his Sonne so in testification of his owne gladnesse that Religion should now grow to a setled certaintie hee conceiued and writ this Psalme Thus much of the occasion which giueth vs instruction namely that the supreame power and authoritie of setling Religion and the oeconomie or disposition of the ceremonies thereof belongeth to the King Dauid performed both most happily without controulement and that could not haue wanted here more then it did in his faire purpose of building the Temple if the bounds of his vocation had beene exceeded in this as they were in that God requireth double seruice from Kings one is of obedience as they be men the other of prouision by reason of their office and as they are Kings therein they must serue God extraordinarily aboue all other men by making holy Lawes not for the ciuill state of their Kingdomes alone but in matters also concerning diuine Religion and government of the Church If this were not an incident of the Royall office the holy Ghost would not haue attributed the deformities of Religion and mis-gouernment of the Church to the want of a King It is an vsuall acclamation in the Booke of Iudges and the ordinary censure of the holy Ghost in those cases Then there was no King in Israel But how should the want of a King occasion disorder in religion if the rectifying of such things were not within his verge and charge Dauid here held it a part of his duetie so did Salomon his Sonne after him and least any should imagine that these two were priuiledged for those affaires by particular warrant so did Asa so did Ichosaphat so did Ezechias so did Iosias as appeareth in the Bookes of Kings and Chronicles so did Constantine the first Christian Emperour so did Theodosius so did Gratian so did Iustinian so did Charles the great as the Ecclesiasticall Stories testifie so Eleutherius a Bishop of Rome aduised Lucius to doe that was King of Britaine about 150. yeares after Christ and giueth this reason of his aduise Quia Vicarius Dei estis in vestro regno you saith the Bishop of Rome vnto the King may make Lawes for religion because you are Gods Lieutenant Vicar and Deputie within your owne Kingdome so the municipal Lawes of our kingdome intendeth for they account not the Prince a meere Ciuill or Ecclesiasticall person as they doe others but mixt by reason of
