THE Saints Enterance into Peace and Rest BY DEATH As it was held forth in a SERMON Preached at the Funerall of that Honourable Statesman and ever to be valued Father and Lover of his Country Sir WILLIAM ARMYNE Baronet One of the Members of the High Court of PARLIAMENT In the day when hee was buryed with his Fathers being honourably but mournfully attended from LONDON where he dyed to Lenton in Lincolnshire where he was interred in the Ancient Sepulchre of his Ancestors May 10. 1651.

Blessed are the dead which dye in the Lord for they rest from their labors and their workes follow them LONDON Printed for Robert Ibbitson 1651. Imprimatur Joseph Caryl 3 June 1651. TO THE Honourable my very Noble Friend and Patron Sr. WILLIAM ARMYNE Baronet one of the Members of the High Court of PARLIAMENT SIR I Never thought my selfe worthy to be the Author of any thing fit for the Presse and but that your request with some others of your Family hath the force of an absolute command with me I should rather have suppressed this then Published it for I must confesse if ever I was unfit to bring forth any thing for all the world to looke on it was at this time when I was so overwhelmed with astonishment and griefe for the Death of your dear Father that I was not likely to come at any thing fit for so great a Service in the midst of such a deale of lumber and confusion of thoughts as then was with me I never thought jingling wit proper for a Sermon especially a Funerall Sermon lightcoulored silken wit is not suitable to line mourning with I desire no more trimming for a Sermon then that beauty of speech which Solomon mentions Prov. 25. 11. VVords fitly spoken and in due season at which I doubt this discourse hath not arrived yet because it came at your call and was calculated for your service and the service of your Noble Family and Kindred be pleased to owne and patronize both it and the Author who is Sir Your very humble Servant SETH WOOD. The Saints enterance into Peace and Rest by DEATH A Sermon Preached at the Funerall of Sir WILLIAM ARMYNE Baronet ISAIAH 57. 2. He shall enter into peace they shall rest in their beds each one walking in his Vprightnesse THE Prophet Isaiah the Author of this Prophecy is stiled by some the Prince of Prophets or the Princely Prophet and not unworthily if we consider these three particulars 1 His Princely Parentage 2 His Princely Imployment 3 His Princely Stile 1 His Princely Parentage For all the Antients conclude that he was of royall extraction his father Amos being the brother of Azariah King of Judah and this gave the more credit and advantage to his Embassies which were many and honourable For 2 His Imployment was Princely being Prophet to five Kings Vzziah Jotham Ahaz Hezekiah Manasseth The holy Writ mentions four of them Isaiah 1. 1. and it may be counted the last not worth the mentioning because as Historians say the Prophets suffered Martyrdome under him He lived sixty four years a Prophet it was a long time for a Prophet to live under five Kings of such different tempers especially being so zealous a Prophet as he was who lift up his voyce like a Trumpet yet he lived to be Gods Trumpeter sixty four years to a perverse people and alarmed the Nations sharpely in the name of the Lord till at last he fell under Manasses Whip-saw for under that Tyrant was he sawne in sunder as the Jewish Rabbys tel us 3 His Stile and matter of his Embassage was Princely none of the Prophets had so clear and so much discovery of the Gospel of Christ as he some of his Chapters are all pure Gospell John among the Evangelists and Isaiah among the Prophets breath most and sweetest of Christ if you observe through his Prophesie you shall finde such lovely Metaphors such welcouched phrase such spicy breathings of the Gospell and Kingdome of Christ as will speake his Stile Heroyicke So that all the Prophets were Gods Heraulds and Isaiah the Prince of Heraulds The words I have mentioned seem to be his sorrowfull contemplations upon the death of some good man or some number of good men which were at that time taken away for though he be observed to be the most consolatory Prophet of all the rest yet Isaiah himselfe will write lamentations upon the departure of the righteous as we must do this day It is not very improbable that these were the Prophets meditations upon the death of that good King Hezekiah for he lived to mourne twice for the death of that good man Once when he brought him the sad message of death and knew no reversement and againe when the renewed lease of his life for fifteen yeares was determined or whether many other good men fell with Hezekiah for ordinarily such good fruit ripen and fall together And it may be God was Arking the Noahs of that age that he might bring the Flood of his wrath upon that ungodly generation for so the Prophet plainly hints in the verse before my Text vers I Now the time when the Prophet declares this message to the people was when they were grown very wicked both people and their guides spirituall and temporall as appeares in the latter end of the 56 chap. vers 9. At which verse best Textuaries will have this 57 chapter begin and so make it one intire Section with the words of my Text. Where you shall finde the people growne very lewd and prophane and all upon the frolick humor of eating and drinking and making merry verse 12. of 56. chapter and surely they thought the Prophet an unwelcome if not an uncivill Messenger to come in with his Deaths-Head as if he meant to garnish their well-furnished dishes with dead mens bones and grave-wormes when they were in no disposition to hear such Lectures but for all their mirth it is very sad newes he tells them and he must tell it them the Righteous are taken away the omen is worst evill is to come God hath housed his children in his heavenly Goshen and let them looke for a storme the pillers of the house are taken away the hand-writing upon the wall is that their joviall Kingdome is departing from them Evill is to come and though they wil not consider it nor the death of the Righteous yet God will and provides rest and peace for them when they shall have anguish and disquietnesse the Saints mourning shall be turned into peace when their laughter shall be turned into mourning He shall enter into peace c. Interpreters vary much in the version of these words having much adoe to deliver the originall of its genuine meaning in any other language for the Hebrew words are often found to put on their sense so curiously and subtilly that it is much adoe to strippe them
