favour God hath been Schooling us under the rod of Oppressors to know the worth of our King and teach us better principles how to entertain Him with more sincere chearfull and constant Loyaltie and I wish all may learn their Lesson well My Lord To testifie our thankfulnesse in this place with publick Narrations Confessions and Praises for so great and rich a mercy It was resolved upon by the Masters and Members of the Kings Colledge here and Me to set apart a solemn day for that gratfull imployment which was solemnly gone about by all here and many others both Ministers and Professors

have sent it abroad to publick view But the Masters of His Majesties Colledge by their often and earnest entreaties fo far prevailed with me as to send it to the Presse Vpon which when I had resolved then immediately some magnetick vertue from your Lorddship drew my thoughts towards you and sweetly yet powerfully engaged me to transmit it under your Lordships Protection The Sermon it self is plain in which is nothing but the words of truth and sobriety I speak most in the words of God for in preaching Gods Word should have the preheminence and therefore I purposely forbear to garnish it with Testimonies of humane Writers My Lord When mean men speaks to the King they do it by the means of some Courtiour and when Scholers speaketh to the Kingdom they do it under the Protection of some worthy Patern I have made bold to transfer this Sermon to the Nation under your Lordships Name and Protection Reasons moving me were these First The subject of the Sermon is concerning the King and who should more own and countenance it then your Lordship beloved of the King and advanced by Him to the highest place in this Kingdom Secondly The eminencie and concatenation of Gods Graces and

places of the Field and so wisely and valorously acquit your self that ye became a terrour to the Enemy But when the Lord was not pleased to carry on his work by that mean then your Lordship testified your Loyalty by suffering for your Prince To you it was given not only to act but to suffer for Him Fifthly Tour Lordships activity and wisdom in advancing the work of His Majesties restauration when God offered the opportunity by dealing with the Lord General Monck now Duke of Albemarlie and others of his Army as I am credibly informed When open acting would have exasperated enemies and retarded the Designe ye acted secretly and successively for which your praise is through the Churches of God in these Lands to the perpetuating your Name to future Ages Sixthly Your several testimonies of love and respect which your Lordship was pleased to extend to my Reverend Brother Master William Scrougie Minister at Rathven and on singular among others which your Lordship procured to him from the Kings Majesty Be pleased therefore most Noble Lord graciously to accept of this my humble addresse and grant me and this Sermon your favourable Protection for the dayes are evil I have one word more and so I have done it is my hearts prayer to God that he will blesse His Majesties Person and Government and make the Crown to flourish on His head for many years and on the heads of His Posterity till there
