and safety of a kingdome And beginning that seruice with Gods For God forbid this Honourable Councell of State should sit downe and begin any where els then at God Now the great Congregation among the Iewes was the Sanedrim And the going vp of the Tribes to Ierusalem was first to giue thanks vnto the Lord and then to sit downe on the seate of iudgement Psal. 122. And Ierusalem at that time was the seat both of Religion and the State Differences I know there are many between vs and them our gouernment theirs but not in this That the Tribes are assembled and come vp to one place Nor in this That they come vp first to giue thankes to God before they possesse the seate of iudgement Nor in this much that there is a Session a Conuocation for Religion aswell as Parliament for State But to leaue them and come to our owne This great Councell of the Kingdome this Congregation is neuer receiued to meeting but about the Pillars of the State the Lawes and the Gouernement That by the Lawes there might be Iudgement according to right and by the Gouernement the Pillars may both beare and bee borne I say beare and be borne For though in the text it be I beare vp the Pillars That is I at al times and I in some cases where none can but I and I when all forsake saue I yet that is not so to be taken as if the people were not bound to beare vp the Pillars aswell as the Pillars them No for there 's no question but they are bound and strictly bound too Rom. 13. And certaine it is no State can flourish if there be not mutuall support betweene the Earth and the Pillars if it faile of either side there 's some melting or other presently For the strength of a King is in the multitude of his people Prou. 14. His supply and his defence is there And the stregth of a People is in the honour and renowne of their King His very name is their shield among the Nations and they must make accompt to beare if they will be borne And this is read in the very Dictates of Nature for gouernement For no man cuer saw a building of State but the Pillars which beare vp it are borne by the Earth Now God and the King doe both receiue this Congregation and in fitnesse of time and yet with a difference too For the King receiues the Congregation to consult and a duise with it but God receiues it to direct and to blesse it And God with his blessing is neuer wanting to vs at these and the like times if we bee not wanting to Him and our selues And thus you haue seene in what state the kingdome of Israel was in Dauids time and how easie it is for any kingdome to be in the like in a melting and a dissoluing estate You haue likewise seene what Remedy was then and what Preuention is now to bee thought of against this melting This both Remedy and Preuention consists especially in impartial distribution of Iustice to the people and in Gods gracious and powerfull supporting of the pillars of the State The time for this neuer so fit as when the Congregation is receiued by the King to consultation and by God to blessing It is not much which I haue more to say The Congregation is now ready to be receiued The very Receiuing it ioynes it with the fitnesse of opportunity For it is the Kings opportunity to blesse his people with Iustice and Iudgement and it is Gods opportunity to beare vp both King and Peeres both greater and lesser pillars of the State My text deliuers a promise of both For'tis Dauids speech for himselfe and for God I 'le doe both saith God and I saith the King Now you may not distrust this promise on either side neither on Gods nor Dauids Not on Gods side For that is Infidelity Nor on the Kings For what hath he done that can cause misbeliefe or what hath hee not done and that aboue his yeeres that may not merit and challenge beliefe of all And for the comfort of this Kingdome and all that dwell therein the seruice of the day which was first designed for this businesse seemes to mee to prophecie that another Hezekiah a wise and a religious King hath begun his Reigne For the first Lesson appointed in the Church for Euening Prayer that day is 4. Reg. 18. which begins the story of Hezekiah Hezekiah was twenty fiue yeeres old when hee began to reigne There 's his age What did he when hee came first into the Throne Why one of his first workes was Hee gathered the Princes of the Citie there was the receiuing of the Congregation and so went vp to the house of the Lord. After this what was the course of his life It followes He claue to the Lord and departed not from him And I hope I may make a prophecie of that which followes So that there was none like him among the kings of Iudah neither were there any such before him And thus is our Hezekiah come this day to receiue this great Congregation in the Name of the Lord. Let vs therefore end with Prayer vnto God That he would blesse both the King and the State That this Kingdome may neuer be Terra liquefacta like molten and dissolued Earth That if at any time for our sins it begin to melt and wash away the remedy may be forth with applied That Iustice and Iudgment may be giuen according to right That the pillars of the Earth may bee borne vp the inferiour and subordinate pillars by the King and both the King as the Master-pillar and they by God That all this may be done in fit and conuenient time That God would make fit the time and then giue the King and the State and this great Councell all wisedome to lay hold of it That this great Congregation may bee in the fitnesse of time That God would be pleased to receiue and blesse it That the King will be pleased to receiue and grace it That it will be pleased to receiue the King according to his desert and their dutie with loue honour and necessary supplies That so he may beare vp this Kingdome and the honour of it with comfort and bee a strong and a lasting pillar to support both it and vs in the true worship of God and all inferiour blessings That he may dwell before God for euer and that God would prepare his louing mercy and faithfulnesse that they may preserue him That all the blessings of Grace may attend him and this Congregation in this life and all the blessings of Glory crowne both Him and vs in the life to come And this Christ for his infinite mercy grant vnto vs To whom c.
