If God set the Crown on the King's head then what wretched impudence is it in any to dare to think much more to attempt the taking it off It is the very acting of that fancy of the Poets of the Giants fighting against Heaven Nothing but Hell is ill enough to own such an audacious presumption a most detestable and monstrous impiety 2. If God set the Crown on the King's head let us set our hearts on the King As Samuel said to Saul 1 Sam 9.20 On whom is all the desire of Israel is it not on thee and on all thy fathers house Prize him as the loyal men of Judah did their King David Thou art worth ten thousand of us Give unto Cesar the things that are Cesar ' s.

Praises Let us end with them Praise is the great duty of this day Psal 44 8. In God let us boast all the day long and praise his name for ever Exod. 15.1 2 7. Sing unto the Lord for he hath triumphed gloriously The Lord is our strength and song and he is become our salvation In the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee Psal 148.13 And therefore Let us praise the name of the Lord for his name alone is excellent his glory is above the Earth Psal 150.1 and Heaven Praise God in his Sanctuary praise him in the firmament of his power You of the Magistracy Praise him in the heighths Vers 2. praise him for his mighty acts praise him according to his excellent greatness You of the Souldiery Psal 149.6 Let the high praises of God be in your mouths and a two-edged sword in your hands You of the Commonalty Psal 29 1. 2 9.
