At the CORONATION of CHARLES the SECOND King of Scotland England France and Ireland By Master ROBERT DOWGLAS Minister of Edinburgh Moderator of the Commission of the Generall Assemblie 2. KING 11. vers. 12. 17. And hee brought foorth the Kinges sonne and put the Crowne vpon him and gave him the Testimonie and they made him King anointed him they clapt their hands said God save the King And Jehojada made a Covenant betweene the Lord and the King and the people that they should bee the Lordes people betweene the King also and the people IN this TEXT of SCRIPTURE you have the solemne enthroning of Ioash a young King and that in a very troublesome tyme for Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah had cruelly murthered the Royall seed and usurped the Kingdome by the space of sixe yeares Only this young Prince was preserved by J●h●sheba the sister of Ahaziah and wyfe to Jehojada the high Priest being hid with her in the house of the LORD all that tyme Good Interpreters doe conjecture though Joash bee called the sonne of Ahaziah that hee was not his sonne by nature but by succession to the Crowne They say that the race of Solomon ceassed here and the Kingdome came to the posteritie of Nathan the sonne of David Because 2. Chron. 22. 9. It is sayd The house of Ahaziah had no power to keep the Kingdome which they conceave to bee for the want of children in that house And because of the absurditie and unnaturallnesse of the fact That Athaliah the Grand-mother should have cut off her sonnes children I shall not stand upon the matter Onlie I may say if they were Ahaziah his own children it was a most unnaturall and cruell fact for Athaliah to cut off her owne posteritie For the usurpation there might have been two motives 1. It seemeth that when Ahaziah went to battell Athaliah was left to governe the Kingdome and her sonne Ahaziah being slaine before his returne shee thought the

that after the dayes of Iehojada the princes of Iudah came did obeysance to the king he hearkened unto them vers. 18. It appeareth they had been lying at waite till the death of Iehojada took that opportunity to destroy the true worship of GOD set up false worship flattering the king for that effect For it is said They left the house of the LORD served groves Idoles were so far from being reclaimed by the Prophet of the LORD that was sent unto them that they cōspired against Zechariah the son of Iehojada who reproved them mildly for their Idolatry and stoned him with stones and slew him at the kings commandement And vers. 22. it is sayd Ioash remembered not the kindnesse that Iehojada his father had done to him but slew his sonne SIR Take this exemple for a warning You are obliedged by the COVENANT to goe on in the Work of Reformation It may be some great ones are wayting their tyme not having opportunitie to work for the present till afterward they may make obeysance and perswade You to destroy all that hath been done in the Work of GOD these diverse years Beware of it Let no allurement or perswasion prevayle with You to fall from that which this day You bynd Your selfe to mayntayn Another exemple I give You yet in recent memorie of Your grand-father king IAMES He fell to be very young in a time full of difficulties yet there was a godly party in the land who did put the Crown upon his head And when he came to some years He his people entered in a Covenant with GOD He was much cōmended by godly faithfull men comparing him to young Iosiah standing at the Altar renewing a Covenant with GOD And he himselfe did thank GOD that he was born in a Reformed Kirk better reformed then England for they retained many popish ceremonies yea better reformed then Geneva for they kept some holy dayes Charging his people to be constant promising himselfe to continue in that Reformation to maintain the same Notwithstanding of all this he made a foule defection He remembered not the kindnesse of them who had held the crown upon his head yea he persecuted faithfull Ministers for opposing that course of defection He never rested till hee had undone Presbyteriall Governement and Kirk Assemblies setting up Bishops and bringing in Ceremonies agaynst which formerly hee had given large testimonie In a word hee layd the foundation whereupon his sonne our late king did build much mischiefe to Religion all the dayes of his lyfe SIR I lay this exemple before You the rather because it is so near You that the guiltines of the transgression lyeth upō the Throne Family it is one of the sinnes for which You have professed humiliation very lately Let it be laid to heart take warning requite not faithfull mens kindnes with persecution yea requite not the LORD so who hath preserved You to this tyme and is setting a Crown upon Your head Requite not the LORD with Apostasie and Defection from a sworn Covenant But bee steadfast in the Covevant as You would give Testimonie of Your True Humiliation for the Defection of these that went before You. I have set vp these two exemples before You as beacons to warne You to keep off such dāgerous courses shal add one for imitation which if followed may happily bring with it the blessing of that godly mans adherēce to God The exemple is of Hezekiah who did that which was right in the sight of the Lord 2. king 18. 5. 6. It is said of him He trustea in the Lord God of Israel and he clave vnto the Lord and departed not from following him but kept his Cōmandements And vers. 7. The LORD was with him and he prospered whither soever he went forth Sir follow this exemple cleave unto the LORD and depart not frō following him the LORD will be with You prosper You whithersoever You go To this LORD frō whom we expect a blessing upon this dayes workm be glory and praise for ever Amen SERMON beeing ended Prayer was made for a Blessing upon the doctrine delyvered The King being to renew the COVENANTS first the Nationall Covenant then the Solemn League and Covenant were distinctlie read After the reading of these COVENANTS The MINISTER prayed for grace to perform the contents of the Covenants and for faythfull steadfastnesse in the Oath of GOD And then the Ministers Commissioners of the Generall Assemblie desyred to bee present standing before the Pulpit hee ministred the Oath unto the King who kneeling and lifting up his right hand did swear in the words following I CHARLES King of Great Britane France and Ireland doe assure and declare by my Solemn Oath in the Presence of Almightie GOD the Searcher of Hearts my allowance and approbation of the Nationall Covenant and of the Solemn League and Covenant above-written and faythfullie obliedge my selfe to prosecute the ends thereof in my Station and Calling and that I for my selfe and successours shall consent and agree to all Acts of Parliament enjoyning the Nationall Covenant and the Solemn League and Covenant and fullie establishing Presbyteriall Government The Directorie of Worship Confession of Fayth and Catechismes in the Kingdom ōf Scotland as they are approven by the Generall Assemblies of this Kirk and Parliament of this Kingdom And that I shall give my Royall Assent to Acts and Ordinances of Parliament passed or to bee passed enioyning the same in my other Dominions And that I shall observe these in my own practice and Familie and shall never make opposition to anie of these or endevour any change thereof After the King had thus Solemnlie sworne The Nationall Covenant the League Covenant and the Kings Oath subjoyned unto both being drawne up in a fayre Parchment The King did subscrybe the same in presence of all Thereafter the King ascendeth the Stage and sitteth down in the Chaire of State Then the Lords Great Constable and Marishall went to the four corners of the Stage with the Lyon going before them who spoke to the people these wordes Sirs I doe present vnto you the King CHARLES The Rightfull and Vndoubted Heire of the Crowne and Dignitie of this Realme This day is by the Parliament of this Kingdome appoynted for his Coronation And are you not willing to have him for your King and become subject to his Commandements In which action the Kinges Majestie stood up showing himselfe to the people in each corner And the people expressed their willingnesse by chearfull acclamations in these wordes GOD SAVE THE KING CHARLES THE SECOND Thereafter the Kinges Majestie supported by the Constable and Marishall commeth downe from the Stage and sitteth downe in the Chaire where hee heard the SERMON The Minister accompanied with the Ministers before mentioned cometh from the Pulpit toward the King requyreth If hee was willing to take the Oath appoynted to bee taken at

So all are not meet for places of trust in armies Mē wold be chosen who are godly able for the charge But there are some who are not meet for trust 1. They who are godly out have no Skill nor ability for the place A man may be a truely godly mā who is not fit for such place no wrong is done to him nor to godlynes whē the placae is denyed to him I wonder how a godly man can take upon him a place whereof hee hath no Skill 2. They who have neither Skill nor cowrage are verie unmeet for if it bee a place of never so great moment faint-heartednesse will make them qayte it 3. They who are both Skilfull and stout yet are not honest but perfidious and treacherous should have no trust at all Of all these we have sad experience which should not move You to make choise of prophane and godlesse men by whom a blessing is not to bee expected but it should move You to bee warie in Your choise I am confident such may bee had who will bee faythfull for Religion King and kingdome 5. There hath been much debate about the exercise of the kings power yet He is put in the exercise of his power and this day put in a better capacity to exercise it by his Coronation Many are affrayed that the exercise of his power shall prove dangerous to the Cause indeed I confesse there is ground of fear when we consider how this power hath been abused by former kings Therefore Sir make good use of this power see that You rather keep within bounds then exceed in the exercise of it I may very well give such a Counsell as an old Counsellour gave to a king of France He having spent many years at Court desired to retire into the countrey for enjoying privacie fit for his age having obtained leave The king his master required him to sit down and write some advise of government to leave behind him which he out of modesty declyned The king would not be denyed but left with him pen ink and a sheet of paper He being alone after some thoughts wrote with faire and legible Characters in the head of the sheet Modus in the middle of the sheet Modus in the foot of the sheet Modus wrote no more in all the paper which he wrapped up and delivered to the king Meaning that the best Counsell he could give him was That he should keep temper in all things Nothing more fit for a young king then to keep temper in all things Take this Counsell Sir and be moderate in the use of your power The best way to keep power is moderation in the use of it 6. The king hath many enemies even such as are enemies to his Family to all kingly government and are now in the bowels of this kingdom wasting destroying Bestirre Your selfe according to vowes oathes that are upon You to be active for the reliefe of CHRISTS kingdom born down by thē in all the three kingdoms and for the reliefe of this kingdom grievously oppressed by them We shall earnestly desyre that GOD would put that Spirit upō our king now entered upon publick government which he hath put upon the Delyverers of his people from their cruell oppressours In speaking of the kings behaviour to enemies One thing I can not passe There is much spoken of a treatie with this enemie I am not of the judgement of some who distinguish a treatie before invasion after invasion and say Treating is very lawfull before invasion because it is supposed that there is little wrong done but after invasion when a kingdom is wronged put to infinit losses then they say a treaty is to be shunned But in my judgemēt a treaty may be lawful after invasion wrongs sustained The end of war is peace neither should desire of revenge obstruct it providing it be such a treatie peace as is not prejudiciall to Religion nor to the safety of the kingdom nor to the undoubted right of the king not to the League Covenant wherunto we are so solemnly engaged But I must break off this treaty with a story related in Plutarch The City of Athens was in a great strait wherin they knew not what to doe Themistocles in this strait said he had something wherein to give his opinion for the behoofe of the State but he thought it not fit to deliver himselfe publickly Aristides a man of great trust is appointed to hear him privatly to make an accompt as he thought meet When Aristides came to make his report to the Senate He told them that Themistocles his advice was indeed profitable but not honest Whereupon the people would not so much as hear it There is much whispering of a treaty they are not willing to speak publikly of it Hear them in private it may be the best advice shall be profitable but not honest If a treatie should be let it be both profitable and honest and no lover of peace will be agaynst it 7. Seing the king is now upon the renewing of the Covenants It would be remembered that we enter into Covenant according to our profession therein with reality sincerity constancy which are the qualifications of good Covenāters Many doubt of your realitie in the Covenant Let Your sinceritie and realitie be evidenced by Your steadfastnesse and constancie For manie have begun well but have not been constant In the sacred history of Kings we find a note put upon kings according to their carriages One of three sentences is written upon them 1. Some kings have this writtē on them He did evil in the sight of the LORD They neither begin wel nor end wel Such an one was Ahaz king of Iudah diverse others in that history 2. Others have this writtē of thē He did that which was right in the sight of the LORD but not with a perfect heart Such an one was Amaziah king of Iudah 2. Chr. 25. 2. He was neither sincere nor constant whē GOD blessed him with victory against the Edomites he fel fouly frō the true worship of GOD set up the gods of Edom. 3. A third sentence is writtē upon the godly kings of Iudah He did right in the sight of the LORD with a perfect heart As Asa Hezekiah Iehoshaphat and Iosiah They were both sincere constant Let us neither have the first nor the second but the third writtē upon our King He did right in the sight of the LORD with a perfect heart Begin well and continue constant Before I close I shal seek leave to lay before our young king two exemples to beware of One to follow The two warning exemples One of them is in the Text another in our own Historie The first exemple is of Ioash He began wel went on in a godly reformation all the dayes of Iehojada but it is observed 2. Chrō 24. 17.
