FINIS A Funeral Sermon Preached at the OBSEQUIES Of the Right Honourable and most Vertuous Lady The Lady FRANCES Countess of CARBERY Who deceased October the 9th 1650. at her House Golden-Grove in Caermarthen-shire By Jeremy Taylor D.D. LONDON Printed for R. Royston Bookseller to the Kings Most Excellent Majesty 1666. To the RIGHT HONOURABLE And TRULY NOBLE Richard Lord Vaughan Earl of Carbery Baron of Emlim and Molinger Knight of the Honourable Order of the Bath My Lord I Am not ashamed to profess that I pay this part of Service to your Lordship most unwillingly for it is a sad office to be the chief Minister in a house of mourning and to present an interested person with a branch of Cypress and a bottle of tears And indeed my Lord it were more proportionable to your needs to bring something that might alleviate or divert your sorrow than to dress the Hearse of your Dear Lady and to furnish it with such circumstances that it may dwell with you and lie in your Closet and make your prayers and your retirements more sad and full of weepings But because the Divine providence hath taken from you a person so excellent a woman fit to converse with Angels and Apostles with Saints and Martyrs give me leave to present you with her Picture drawn in little and in water-colours sullyed indeed with tears and the abrupt accents of a real and consonant sorrow but drawn with a faithful hand and taken from the life and indeed it were too great a loss to be deprived of her example and of her rule of the original and of the copy too The age is very evil and deserved her not but because it is so evil it hath the more need to have such lives preserved in memory to instruct our piety or upbraid our wickedness For now that God hath cut this tree of Paradise down from its seat of earth yet so the dead trunk may support a part of the declining Temple or at least serve to kindle the fire on the Altar My Lord I pray God this heap of sorrow may swell your piety till it breaks into the greatest joys of God and of Religion and remember when you pay a tear upon the Grave or to the memory of your Lady that Dear and most excellent Soul that you pay two more one of repentance for those things that may have caused this breach and another of joy for the mercies of God to your Dear departed Saint that he hath taken her into a place where she can weep no more My Lord I think I shall so long as I live that is so long as I am Your Lordships most humble Servant Jer.

SERM. VIII 2 Sam. XIV 14. For we must needs die and are as water spilt on the ground which cannot be gathered up again neither doth God respect any person yet doth he devise means that his banished be not expelled from him WHen our Blessed Saviour and his Disciples viewed the Temple some one amongst them cried out Magister aspice quales lapides Master behold what fair what great stones are here Christ made no other reply but foretold their dissolution and a world of sadness and sorrow which should bury that whole Nation when the teeming cloud of Gods displeasure should produce a storm which was the daughter of the biggest anger and the mother of the greatest calamity which ever crush'd any of the Sons of Adam The time shall come that there shall not be left one stone upon another The whole Temple and the Religion the Ceremonies ordained by God and the Nation beloved by God and the Fabrick erected for the Service of God shall run to their own Period and lye down in their several Graves Whatsoever had a beginning can also have an ending and it shall die unless it be daily watered with the Purles flowing from the Fountain of Life and refreshed with the Dew of Heaven and the Wells of God And therefore God had provided a Tree in Paradise to have supported Adam in his artificial Immortality Immortality was not in his Nature but in the Hands and Arts in the Favour and Superadditions of God Man was always the same mixture of Heat and Cold of Dryness and Moisture ever the same weak thing apt to feel rebellion in the humours and to suffer the evils of a civil war in his body

Judgment when the Angels of wrath snatch their abused People into everlasting Torments For will God bless them or pardon them by whom so many Souls perish Shall they reign with Christ who evacuate the death of Christ and make it useless to dear Souls Shall they partake of Christs Glories by whom it comes to pass that there is less joy in Heaven it self even because sinners are not converted and God is not glorified and the people is not instructed and the Kingdom of God is not filled Oh no the curses of a false Prophet will fall upon them and the reward of the evil Steward will be their portion and they who destroyed the Sheep or neglected them shall have their portion with Goats for ever and ever in everlasting burnings in which it is impossible for a man to dwell Can any thing be beyond this beyond damnation Surely a man would think not And yet I remember a severe saying of S. Gregory Scire debent Prelati quod tot mortibus digni sunt quot perditionis exempla ad subditos extenderunt One damnation is not enough for an evil Shepherd but for every Soul who dies by his evil example or pernicious carelesness he deserves a new death a new damnation Let us therefore be wise and faithful walk warily and watch carefully and rule diligently and pray assiduously for God is more propense to rewards then to punishments and the good Steward that is wise and faithful in his dispensation shall be greatly blessed But how He shall be made ruler over the houshold What is that for he is so already True but he shall be much more Ex dispensatore faciet procuratorem God will treat him as Joseph was treated by his Master he was first a Steward and then a Procurator one that ruled his Goods without account and without restraint Our Ministry shall pass into Empire our Labour into Rest our Watchfulness into Fruition and our Bishoprick to a Kingdom In the mean time our Bishopricks are a great and weighty Care and in a spiritual sence our Dominion is founded in Grace and our Rule is in the hearts of the people and our Strengths are the Powers of the Holy Ghost and the Weapons of our warfare are Spiritual and the Eye of God watches over us curiously to see if we watch over our Flocks by day and by night And though the Primitive Church as the the Ecclesiastick Histories observe when they deposed a Bishop from his Office ever concealed his Crime and made no Record of it yet remember this that God does and will call us to a strict and severe account Take heed that you may never hear that fearful Sentence I was hungry and ye gave me no meat If you suffer Christs little ones to starve it will be required severely at your hands And know this that the time will quickly come in which God shall say unto thee in the words of the Prophet Where is the Flock that was given thee thy beautiful Flock What wilt thou say when he shall visit thee God of his mercy grant unto us all to be so faithful and so wise as to convert Souls and to be so blessed and so assisted that we may give an account of our Charges with joy to the glory of God to the edification and security of our Flocks and the salvation of our own Souls in that day when the great Shepherd and Bishop of our Souls shall come to Judgment even our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ To whom with the Father and the Holy Ghost be all Honour and Glory Love and Obedience now and for evermore Amen FINIS Thursday May 9.

Before the Right Honourable the Lords Justices and the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and the Commons BY Jeremy Lord Bishop of Down and Connor Salus in multitudine consulentium LONDON Printed for R. Royston Bookseller to the Kings most Excellent Majesty 1666. To the Right Honourable The Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons of Ireland Assembled in PARLIAMENT My Lords and Gentlemen I Ought not to dispute Your Commands for the printing my Sermon of Obedience left my Sermon should be protestatio contra factum here I Know my Example would be the best Vse to this Doctrine and I am sure to find no inconveniency so great as that of Disobedience neither can I be confident that I am wise in any thing but when I obey for then I have the Wisdom of my Superior for my warrant or my excuse I remember the saying of Aurelius the Emperor Aequius est me tot talium amicorum consilium quam tot tales meam unius voluntatem sequi I could easily have pretended excuses but that day I had taught others the contrary and I would not shed that Chalice which my own hands had newly filled with Waters issuing from the Fountains of Salvation My eyes are almost grown old with seeing the horrid mischiefs which came from Rebellion and Disobedience and I would willingly now be blessed with observation of Peace and Righteousness Plenty and Religion which do already and I hope shall for ever attend upon Obedience to the best KING and the best CHVRCH in the World I see no objection against my hopes but that which ought least of all in this case to be pretended Men pretend Conscience against Obedience expresly against S. Paul's Doctrine teaching us to obey for conscience sake but to disobey for Conscience in a thing indifferent is never to be found in the Books of our Religion It is very hard when the Prince is forc'd to say to his rebellious Subject as God did to his stubborn People Quid faciam tibi I have tried all the ways I can to bring thee home and what shall I now do unto thee The Subject should rather say Quid me vis facere What will thou have me to do This Question is the best end of Disputations Corrumpitur atque dissolvitur Imperantis officium si quis ad id quod facere jussus est non obsequio debito sed consilio non considerato respondeat said one in A.
