Captivity or Bondage and this Man was really Vir sui nominis one that answered his Name to a Title for had Israel adher'd to his Advice they had as certainly been made Slaves to the Philistines as we to the French if we had all as some did lately deserted King William Thirdly He is describ'd by his Family or Tribe he was Son of Bichri a Benjamite i. e one that could not brook to see the Crown settled in the Tribe of of Judah Considering the many Provocations of the Jews it was a Mercy that God would permit them a King of their own Blood and Nation whereas in Justice he might have given way that such as hated them should have held them in Subjection yet instead of a grateful Acknowledgment of God's Loving Kindness we meet with a murmuring against his Providence and so dissatisfy'd are these Benjamites that if they may not have a King of their own Tribe they care for no King of like mind are the Papists and their wicked Complices if they cannot have a King of their own Persuasion and Temper no other shall live in Safety or Peace I pass from the Person to his Action 2. His Action He blew a Trumpet Some whisper Treason and are well satisfied in dark holes to plot bloody Mischiefs hoping no eye shall see them but here we have a Traitor in Grain that matters not who hears him nay takes care to be heard for lest he should not have Auditors enough he summons them with a Trumpet When Rebellion War and Blood was the Banquet a Trumpet was a fit Instrument to congregate the Guests Treason is bad enough when conceal'd and solitary when it is promoted in Cabals and transmitted by Cabalistical Letters but it is come to its heighth when it dare appear bare-fac'd when Sheba with his Trumpet and Tongue shall loudly and openly impudently and publickly proclaim himself a Traitor and invite others into the Conspiracy Too many among us have sounded such Trumpets nay they that ought to have known better and taught better have from their Pulpits trumpeted We have no part in David neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse Thirdly Let us observe though never believe his Speech We have no part in David nor inheritance in in the son of Jesse To your tents O Israel Here is a Speech made up of Lye Slander and Treason 1. The Lye in these Words We have no part in David Solomon's Observation is Prov. 10.18 Fools seek to hide their hatred with lying lips so that Sheba hath at once proclaim'd himself Lyar and Fool What no part in David Can he be a good Subject and have no Interest in a good King Out of thy own Mouth we will judge this wicked Wretch Did not he with the rest of the Tribes 2 Sam. 19.9 acknowledge their Interest in David Did they not prove it when they confess'd that he did deliver them out of the hands of their Enemies and out of the hand of the Philistines Had not David been heartily concern'd in your Safety and Welfare had you not had a near place in his Royal Heart would he for your sakes have courted Dangers have carried his life in his hand and have thrust himself amongst bloody and perfidious Enemies But how notorious will this Lye appear when we look upon the 43d Verse of this Chapter where it is said by these very Men We have ten parts in the King and have also more Right in David than you Some may be desirous to know what might be the Design of this loud Lye for few raise Lyes against their Sovereigns barely for lying sake but they have some farther wicked end to serve Sheba's Design was this He saw that he and his Tribe had put a bar in the way of their Preferment both by Rebelling against David and also in being tardy to bring the King back after that Rebellion was so happily appeased and thence he concluded it was vain for him or them to hope for any great Favours for if David had none of their hands it was unreasonable to expect they should have any of his Countenance Princes do not use to be so indifferent in the distribution of their Rewards as to heap Honours upon those that sought to prevent their just Rights or that impair their just Titles though in this Age this Rule hath been broke for the sake of some Being thus conscious of his own Demerits Sheba sought to embroil the Nation persuading to a general Defection instead of a National Association The next thing unseemly and worthy Reproof in this short Speech is the Slander and Contempt in these Words the Son of Jesse He upbraided David with his Descent and Family calling him the Son of Jesse whom he ought to have honoured with the Title of King This was done in scorn and thus some of our saucy irreverent Sheba's call him only Prince of Orange whom they ought to acknowledge as rightful King of England Scotland and Ireland Defender of the Faith c. St. Jude calls those that speak contemptuously of Dignities filthy Dreamers Persons whose Words declare that their Wits and Senses have been asleep while God hath brought about this Revolution Such another Son of Balial was Nabal but how shall Sheba or Nabal excuse themselves if ever it enters into their hearts to consider that he whom they speak thus contemptously off and set at naught is no less than the Lords Anointed He is a Traitor to his Prince who slanders and reviles him though not so great a Traitor as he that conspires against his Life Crown and Dignity The next Particular is the Treason Every man to his Tents O Israel The Consequence of which Words was to perswade the greatest part of the Kingdom to Sedition and Rebellion which once effected he hoped that the Tribe of Judah for fear or shame would have come over to them and then peradventure he himself might get into the Throne as being of Saul's Family or otherwise a Commonwealth might follow thereupon wherein it was more easie for him to put in for a share in the Government For this you may observe that there are but few Plotters or Conspirators but what are Necessitous or Ambitious This was a Speech indeed and very ill becoming the mouth of a Jew yet I could match it and out do it with one spoken by a reputed Christian who may well hide his Head as he now doth had he nothing more than a Black-mouth to answer for But blessed be God the Lot is fallen to us very pleasantly and we have a goodly Inheritance in our David a large Inheritance of Piety Wisdom Justice Goodness and Valour God give us the grace unanimously to defend this our Inheritance This Speech thus taken in peices expos'd and confuted I will now shew you how unreasonable this Benjamite was in this Invective against David and that he really had no cause to quarrel with that Revolution which Providence had made in
