We can do nothing against the Truth but for the Truth 2 Cor. 13.8 LONDON Printed for Christopher Wilkinson at the Black Boy against St. Dunstans Church in Fleetstreet 1670. To the Right Honorable RICHARD BOYLE Baron of Clifford Youghall and Bandon Viscount of Kynalmeakie and Dungarvan Earle of Burlington and Corke Lord High Treasurer and a Privy Counseller of his Majesties Kingdome of Ireland My Lord THe utmost of my Ambition in this Dedication is with an humble request of its acceptance a grateful acknowledgment of your Lordships many undeserved favours of which I am every day sensible being confident that however weak these my endeavours are now made publick they shall not want both incouragement and protection from One whose constant piety it has been to receive a Prophet and a Prophet's Message though there might be no other reaeson yet for this that it came in the name of a Prophet Some of these Discourses have already had the honour of your Lordships Ear but I must confess more seasonable to the times we live in then suitable to that Auditory amongst whom God is praised in the Beauties of his Holiness and it is a joy as well as Comeliness to behold our Order the August Solemnities of an Holy Worship there celebrated are of themselves a Continued Praedication of the Subject Matter here treated on should I be silent and were these lines with their Author buried in Obscurity However amidst the the daily violences offered to God and his Service from wicked and unreasonable Men it may seem requisite that there be these more open Attestations unto Truth that so a froward and peevish Generation may hence be rendred the more inexcusable in that they do not perish without warning Whatever was the Motive to this Publication from a private person in my circumstances God knows and your Lordship may safely honor me with this Defence that I seek no great things for my self and I humbly conceive that the Discourses themselves if candidly perused will intimate as much all that is here performed or designed is only a Mite or two out of a small stock a mean and an unworthy but an hearty addition to what others have very happily cast in out of their abundance into the Treasuries of God towards the building and maintaining of our Church in its wonted Strength and Beauty And as I am not nor need be much sollicitous what entertainment these writings meet with abroad being conscious to my self of my own integrity so I hope it is far from flattery since a real truth in that I have no other Apology to make then to crave your Lordships pardon whilst I must acknowledge these Discourses to be but a ruae and unpolished Comment on your own daily more pious and severer Practises so that there may be this satisfaction at lest to your Honor in the perusal if for the Author little for your Self more at the same time a favourable coustruction for him but a comfortable and more just reflection upon your self in the consideration of that reward which is consequential to well ordered conversation And here though it be some trespass upon modesty yet to provoke the imitation of others in this licentious Age I must bear witness to the world of a most excellently well Go●erned Family the constant returns of Holy Offices the great care which both by your Lordships example and command is taken that the Meaneft Person in it be instructed in those wholesome Principles of our Church Catechisme a piece of Discipline upon Youth so sadly neglected in the management of all which if I am an unworthy instrument I must own the success of all my undertakings of this Nature more to your Lordships favour and countenance then to any thing of skill or ability in my own performances And now having put Your Honor to this unexpected trouble I most humbly crave leave for one Short Intimation which will save the tedium of a Preface and it is this That Some of the ensuing Discourses are presented to your Lordship with relation to the occasion of their first composure in the Discharge of my Duty in a small Cure which I once had in the University where it was my custome as often as I could to give the Lesson provided to my hands out of the Churches service not at all regarding that coffing imputation of being styled a Postillar ●ut rather endeavouring to inculcate upon the People that they should consider how suitable many times and seasonable even in contingent circumstances is the Message delivered to them from God in the Voice of his Church and for this reason I have industriously published what was at first so occasionally Penned and Preached being sorry that by reason of our continued Factions and Divisions notwithstanding an Act for Uniformity it still is so much every day a word in season No more but what is my daily Duty shall be here an hearty and sincere acknowledgment to wit my uncessant Prayers for your Lordships health and happiness and for the most Religious and Vertuous Lady your Honorable Consort God of his infinite Mercy every day more and more Remember You and Yours concerning this for Good and He forget not but may the blessing be on You and Your Family the many Kindnesses You have done for the House of Our God and the Offices thereof I make bold with submission craving your Honorable Protection both of the Author and his Work to subscribe my self Your Lordships most Obedient and Faithful Servant and Chaplain Geo Seignior MOSES and AARON A SERMON Preached before the KING at Saxham in the County of Suffolk April 17. 1670. Exodus 4.16 And he shall by thy Spokesman to the people and he shall be even he shall be to thee instead of a Mouth and thou shalt be to him instead of God UPon the first view of the Text and context we find Moses the Servant of the Lord and Aaron the man of God joined together in one and the same commission both set over a Captived people to deliver them unto a more glorious liberty and both sent unto an oppressing hard-hearted Tyrant to demand a speedy restitution from slavery and to require satisfaction for injuries done unto the Son of God ver 22.
