By the Right Reverend Father in GOD GILBERT Lord Bishop of SARUM LONDON Printed for Ri. Chiswell at the Rose and Crown in St. Paul's Church-Yard MDCXCIV A SERMON Preached at the Funeral of the Most Reverend Father in God IOHN Lord Archbishop of Canterbury II Tim. 4. 7. I have fought a good fight I have finished my course I have kept the Faith THERE is a time to weep and a time to rejoyce every one here present will readily agree with me that this is a time to weep But it will look like the venturing on a Paradox to say that it is also a time to rejoyce which on this occasion seems to bear a harsh and uncouth sound What! to rejoyce that both Church and State have lost the Patern that he whose remains are now before us set us and the support that he gave us But we are Christians as well as Men and while Nature feels so great a loss and sinks under it our Christianity must shew it self Faith must triumph over Sense and Grace over Nature While we mourn our own loss let us rejoyce at his Crown and Glory in our Holy Religion that has produced and now compleated so great an Example of Sublim and Heroical Piety and Vertue and has let the World see what the power of these Principles are which we profess when they are truly believed and steadily pursued Notwithstanding all the tenderness that this melancholy Solemnity inspires I must still say that we ought to rejoyce that to all those convincing Arguments by which he so often and so clearly proved the Truth and Excellency of our Holy Faith he has added this plain and sensible demonstration letting the World see in himself what a sort of a Man a Christian is Words have not that energy which facts have A shining Life has an authority to perswade beyond all the force of Arguments or the beauties of Rhetorick Men are disposed to believe a Man who has shewed in a long series of many years that he believed himself And that he was not only convinced but overcome by his own Arguments And therefore how sensibly soever you all and I my self may feel that this is a time to mourn yet suffer me to stop your tears and to temper your sorrow a little by adding that it is also a time to rejoyce both for his sake who is now delivered from the storms and tempests of this Life and upon the account of that Holy Religion in which he was so great an Instrument and to which he was such a lasting honour If we trace his steps and imitate his vertues we shall quickly follow him to that blessedness of which he is now possessed The Instructions that he gave us and the Life that he led among us are no small advantages to direct us to follow him as he followed his meek and lowly Master while we consider the end of his conversation the scope and design 13. Heb. 7. of it all and that happy conclusion that God has now put to it for happy it is in it self and happy to him how melancholy soever it may seem to us And since great Examples give the clearest and most effectual instruction and afford both the pleasantest and usefullest Entertainment I will now endeavour but in a plainness suitable to that in which he lived to gather together some parts of his Character and to set him out to you such as you all knew him to be tho' not with that force with which he for so many years and in this place did fix your attention and conquer your thoughts yet with a simplicity that will perhaps more effectually prevail upon you than more studied Composures I am sure you will believe me because the greatest part of that which I am to say was known to you And if you will but remember what you heard from him and what you saw in him I am confident you will all acknowledge that I am using great Reserves and that I say much less than you think It being fit that a modesty of stile should appear in the whole contexture of this Discourse since a modesty of deportment did shine with so peculiar a lustre in all the parts of his Life I will say no more of my Text than what shall be just necessary to shew how pertinent it is to my Subject and how naturally it will take in the several branches of his Character St. Paul was now a Prisoner at Rome he appealed to Caesar and had Ver. 16 17. appeared oftner then once before him He found that he was in the Paws of a Lion that delighted in Blood and who to cover himself from the just fury of the Romans for his burning their City was endeavouring to expose the Christians to their rage and he complains that he was forsaken by his friends when it might seem that he needed their assistance most Whether St. Paul knew that his death was near by a special Revelation as St. Peter did or whether he gathered 2. Pet. 1. 14. it from other Circumstances it is plain he was now looking for it he reckoned it so certain that he considered it as a thing then a doing for the preceeding Words which are rendred I am ready to be offered up do strictly signifie I am now as a Sacrifice and my blood is a pouring out after the manner 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of the libations in Sacrifices He considered his death as a thing resolved on and to be speedily executed so that his departure was at hand This Thought must needs strike deep the Darkness and Solitude of a Prison the Solemnities of a Day prefixed the Pomp of an Execution and the Circumstances both of Ignominy and Pain with which it might be accompanied did concur to heighten that gloomy Prospect But that which secured his Quiet in opposition to all that Agitation of Mind was a Firmness arising out of a strict Review of his past Life Conscience upon such occasions will not flatter but speak out and will rather aggravate matters too much and his told him he needed fear nothing he had a Witness within as well as a Judge and a God above The Testimony of a good Conscience was the foundation of his Joy and gave him a well-grounded Confidence in God The whole Period running thus For I am now ready to be offered the time of my departure is at hand I have fought a good fight I have finished my course I have kept the faith henceforth is laid up for me a crown of righteousness which the Lord the righteous Iudge will give me at that day and not
