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
