in al the house and he doth ascribe the creation therof vnto God In whose bookes these are the first words grauen as it were in the forhead therof In principio deus creauit coelū et terram in the beginning God created the heauen the earth so that as the two disciples going to Emaus said vnto Iesus after his resurrection not yet known vnto them that he must needs be the only stranger in Israell if he knew not the things that had lately happened to Iesus of Nazareth a Prophet mighty in deede and in word before God and all the people so hee must needes bee a very great stranger in the Scriptures that knoweth not that God made the worlde Manye great Philosophers among the vnbeleeuing Gentiles hauing read the bookes of other writers haue doubted of the creation of the worlde and some haue thought it to haue beene eternall neuer made And some more folishly haue supposed it to haue beene accidently made Ex atomis conflatum growne to this forme by the falling of small motes together But among Christians which haue the bookes of Scripture Scripturae diuinitus inspiratae giuen by inspiration of God the childe that hath but spelled the first line of the Bible learneth that the Almightie God did create the heauen and the earth In Esa. 40 25. the Lord saith To whom now will you liken me that I should be like him saith the holy one lift vp your eyes on high and beholde who hath created these things and bringeth out their armies by number and calleth them all by names After verse 28. Knowest thou not or hast thou not heard that the euerlasting God the Lord hath created the ends of the earth c. In Ieremie in his tenth chapter where he sheweth the vanitie of idols compared vnto the liuing God the God of trueth in the 11. verse it is thus written Thus shall yee say vnto them the Gods that haue not made the heauens and the earth shall perish from the earth and from vnder these heauens he hath made the earth by his power and established the world by his wisedome and hath stretched out the heauens by his discretion And in the 27. Chapter and 5. verse God saith of himselfe I haue made the earth the man and the beast that are vpon the ground by my great power and by my out-stretched arme c. Yea God manifested in the flesh Iesus Christ the sonne of God and sonne of the Virgin Marie to whome in regarde of his humaine nature the iudgement of the worlde is committed which in regarde of his diuine nature was his without commission he hath made the worlde and all things therein and dooth now conserue the same Paul saith of him Colos. 1. 16. That by him althings were created which are in heauen and which are in earth things visible and things inuisible And the Apostle to the Hebrewes 1. 2. speaketh thus That whereas in former times God spake vnto our fathers by the Prophets in these last daies he hath spoken vnto vs by his sonne whom he hath made heire of all things by whom also he made the world who being the brightnesse of the glory and the ingraued forme of his person and bearing vp all things Potente verbo suo by his mightie word hath by himselfe purged our sinnes by him the world was made and by his mighty worde the world and all things in it are susteined So that certainly God did create the earth the habitable world all that dwell vpon it He did found it establish it vpon the seas being now by Gods appointment as a wall at the foote therof and a strong buttrice to shore and vphold the same But is this a good reason to claime the soueraigntie of the world because he made it I surely When Iacob had made his pottage and Esau came home hungrie out of the field he acknowledged that to be Iacobs that Iacob had made he challenged no right in it neither desired to haue it but vpon composition with his brother He is therefore more vnreasonable then Esau that acknowledging God to haue made the world will denie him to be Lord of the world of the worke of his owne hands Paul among the Athenians Acts. 17. 24. speaketh thus God that made the worlde and all things that are therein seeing that he is Lord of heauen earth dweleth not in temples made with hands Where he hath affirmed that God made the world and all things therin he feareth not immediatly to annex as a thing not to be spoken against that he is lord of heauen earth Concerning man one part of this earth and habitable world for he was made of the dust of the earth the Prophet saith Psal. 100. 3. Know yee that the Lord he is God it is he that hath made vs not we our selues we are his people and the sheepe of his pasture Hence he inferreth that we are his and he Lord and owner of vs as any man is of the flockes of his sheepe because the Lordes hands did make vs. And if the reason be good in any part of the world it is good also in the whole If the sonnes of men be Gods possession because hee made them then the earth and all that are vpon it are his for he made them In Esa. 45. 12. the Lord saith I haue made the earth and created man vpon it I whose hands haue spred out the heauens I haue euen commanded all their armie Because he made and created these things and did spred them out giuing both being and forme substance and shape vnto them therefore he commandeth them as their Lord. Omni exercitui eorum mandata Dei he commandeth all the armies of them Which he should not doe if they remained not his Therefore vpon so great reason let vs yeelde God his right and say with the Prophet The earth is the Lords and all that is in it the world and they that dwell therein For he hath founded it vpon the seas and established it vpon the flouds Thus haue yee heard the doctrine of these wordes Now let vs consider what holy good vse we may make thereof And let this be the first vse that if God be Lord of all the earth and also the inhabitants that then all the earth and the inhabitants doe acknowledge and honour him And this the holye Ghoast doth teach vs in the Psalme 96. from the verse 7. Giue vnto the Lorde the families of the people giue vnto the Lorde glory and power giue vnto the Lord the glory of his name bring an offering and enter into his Courtes Worship the Lorde in the glorious sanctuarie tremble before him all the earth say among the nations the Lord reigneth Surely the worlde shal be stable and not mooue and he shall iudge the people in righteousnesse Let the heauens reioyce and let the earth bee glad let the Sea roare and all that therein is let the fielde bee

GODS VNIVERSAL right proclaimed A Sermon preached at Paules Crosse the 27. of March 1603. being the next Sunday after her Maiesties departure By I. H. 1. PET. 2. 17. Feare God Honour the King Imprinted at London for Cuthburt Burby 1603. ❧ God 's vniuersall right proclaimed PSAL. 24. 1. 2. 1. The earth is the Lords and all that therein is the worlde and they that dwell therein 2. For he hath founded it vpon the seas and established it vpon the flouds THis text for argument of my sermon not selected by curious choice but taken as it was offered by order of my priuate exercise in mine own place serueth yet most fitly for these times For whereas God dwelling in the heauens hath made a great change among vs vpon the earth and hauing called our late Soueraigne Queene to the possession of his heauenly kingdome for her hath giuen vnto vs a most prudent King to succeed in the gouernment of hir earthly kingdome this scripture sheweth that God herein hath done that which rightly he may because the earth and the inhabitants thereof are wholy his and he may bestowe kingdomes aduance gouerners and commit nations to be ruled at his pleasure Yea if it be lawfull for vs paruis componere magna and to obserue the similitudes and agreements that be betweene an earthly and a spirituall kingdome which is not forbidden to Christian modestie then this whole Psalme seemeth vnto me a scripture fit to be handled in this time in publick to honour as it were with some diuine ceremonies the kingdome and expected comming of this our noble King For in this Psalme the Prophet intreateth of the spirituall kingdome of Christ. First shewing what manner nations and people he reigneth ouer in the first sixe verses Next proclaming his comming in the other verses wherein the nobler sort of his subiects are required to prepare to receiue him But hauing chosen a part I will leaue the whole and returne to the part In the first sixe verses I haue shewed you that first the Prophet telleth vs what manner nations and people the Lord reigneth ouer They are all of two sorts The first of them that are subiect to his gouernment Iure creations by right of creation Of these he speaketh in these two verses and in this ranke may all be comprehended The second is a number chosen out of these with whome he doth conuerse more familiarlie as his domesticals which are honoured among the rest and distinguished from the rest Beneficio redemptionis by the benefit of redemption For as in an earthly kingdome the King reigneth ouer all his subiectes by equall right and it is Antichristian abhorring from religion among vs professed to say that any subiect should be exempt from the rule of his souereigne and yet admitteth some bound vnto him by a priuate couenant and oath taken of them to come neare and to doe seruice vnto him whom he doth inritch with rewardes and grace with honourable preferments Euen so in the kingdome of Christ hee raigneth with equall authority ouer all men For Psal. 2. 8. God the father gaue vnto him Gentes in her editatem et extremitates terra in possessionem the heathen for his inheritance the ends of the earth for his possession Yet a choice number there is bearing the marke of the foundation as the Kings liuery whereof the Apostle speaketh 2. Timoth. 2. 19. the foūdation of God abideth sure and hath this seale Dominus nouit qui sunt sui the Lord knoweth who are his These head mitteth to do him daylie seruice these he conuerseth with familiarly as he saith Ioh. 14. 21. Ei conspiciendum exhibebo meipsum I wil shew my owne selfe vnto him these he inricheth with gifts graces of his spirit in this world eternall life and a crowne of righteousnes in the next these he honoureth with high preferments making them by beleeuing the sonnes of God in this world and kings Priestes vnto God both here and in the next This second sort I haue not to speake of at this time because my Text reacheth not vnto them The earth is the Lordes and all that therein is the worlde and they that dwell therein For he hath founded it vpon the seas and established it vpon the floudes in these wordes he remembreth the first sorte of his subiectes which are so by right of creation Or if happily this diuision of subiects displease because the second mēber is included in the first they which are subiectes bound by the benefit of redemption are also bound by the bond of creation I will giue the sence of my Text in some other words The Prophet in these wordes remembreth the first reason ground of right by which the Lord clameth to be king Namely that he created the worlde The ground of right by which he clameth is in the second verse How farre he clameth by this ground of right is in the first verse Euen to be Lord of all The earth is the Lordes and all that therein is the world and they that dwell therein Thus farre he clameth euen to be Lord of all Of the earth and of the inhabitants Of the soile and those that occupie it Of euery tenement and eeuery tenant dwelling therein that these are the Lordes we are to inquire in this verse That they are his because he made them we are to inquire in the next verse And the doctrine of these things I will first deliuer and then the vses The earth is the Lordes the world is his Tremelius reades orbis habitabilis the habitable world that is the pile of the earth in the face whereof we dwell with the partes and ornamentes thereof in the bowels of it or vpper countenance as minerales mettalles stones moūtaines vallies plaines herbes plantes fruites such like for all these are earth or of the earth and adhearing thereto And all this is the Lordes For all this was when there was neither man nor beast nor any breathing thing to claime a property in them or to haue any vse of them For in the first day the earth was though yet in one masse with the heauens and the waters and wanting her forme as appeareth Genesis 1. 1. 2. And in the third day it was brought to her forme receiued her decking as in the same place appeareth verse 9. God said againe Let the waters vnder the heauen bee gathered into one place and let the dry land appeare and it was so And God called the dry land earth and the gathering together of the waters seas and God saw that it was good Then God saide Let the earth bud foorth the bud of the hearbe that seedeth seede the fruitefull tree which beareth fruite according to his kinde which may haue his seede in it selfe and it was so And the earth brought forth the bud of the hearb that seedeth seede according to his kinde also the tree that yeeldeth fruite which hath his seed in it selfe according
