A Sermon made in the Chappel at the Gylde Halle in London the .xxix. day of September 1574. before the Lord Maior and the whole state of the Citie then assembled for the chusing of their Maior that shuld then succede in the gouernmēt of the same Citie Coneionatore Roberto Croleo ¶ Perused and licenced according to the Quoenes Maiesties Iniunction ¶ Imprinted at London by Iohn Awdeley 1575 TO THE RIGHT honorable sir Iames Hawes Knight Lord Maior of the Citie of London and to his worshipful Brethren the Aldermen with the whole state of the same Citye Robert Crowley wisheth continuance in the feare of GOD. BEing by the Lord Maior that then was appointed to occupy the place of a better in your Chappell at the Gilde hall on that day wherin according to your yearely custome you were gathered together to make choyse of one to rule your Citie for the yeare then to come I dyd bende all my speeches to the instruction of as many of you as were to geue voyces in that Election and of him that was then to be elected And although I dyd not then so well lyke of myne owne doing that I could thinke it meete to be penned and published to the view of all that would reade it yet I perceiued afterward that manye amongest you were desirous to haue it in writing that it might remaine in memory and be a rule for you and your posteritie to follow in yout yearely Elections Being therefore requested by one that seemed to mee most desirous of this common commoditie to set downe in writyng that which I had then spoken I could not deny that so honest and reasonable a request But beyng then oppressed with manyfold exercises I differred the doing thereof almost to long euen tyll memorie began to be amazed when she should make report to my pen of those wordes which she not before wylled to retaine And then I began to feele that age cannot easely do that wherof youth maketh small accompt Yet notwythstandyng I caused my Memorie to searche out all her corners and to bring forth that which she foūd and so haue I penned as my Memorie telleth me almost the same wordes that I then spake and in the same order that I then did speake them And because I thought that thys instruction might serue as well for al other Elections as for that which then was in hand I thought good to adde an Appēdix wherein I haue applyed the whole matter of euery Election to be made of any that must serue in any publike calling either Ecclesiasticall or Ciuile If this my labour haue or shall do any good the praise thereof is due to God the doer of all that is wel done who first moued the myndes of your Rulers to thinke me meete to occupy that place at that tyme and my mynde to conceyue and vtter suche matter there and the minde of him that first moued mee to conceiue it in writing and the myndes of them that haue thought it meete to be imprinted To GOD therefore especially I do dedicate this my labour and generallye to all you whom he hath herein vsed as his instrumentes Beseeching his Maiestie to accept of that which hee hath made me able to do and to employ both it and mee to the commoditie of hys Church and you to take at hys hande the fruit of this my labour whom hee hath in this matter vsed as his instrumēt to instruct you how ye ought to deale not onely in this one yearelye election of your Maior but in all your other Elections also The Lord Iesus Christ whose Seruauntes we all do professe to be direct vs by his holy Spirite that in all our workes words and thoughtes we may seeke to set foorth the glorie of his and by him our heauenly Father To whom with the same his onely begotten sonne the holy spirit be al honor glory for euermore Amen Yours to commaund in the Lord Robert Crowley ¶ A Sermon made in the Chappel at the Gilde hall in London the .xxix. day of September in the yeare of our Lord God. 1574. before the Lord Maior and the whole state of the Citie then assembled for the chusing of their Maior that should then succéede in the gouernment of that Citie Concionatore Roberto Croleo IN the Psalme 139. it is written thus in the latter ende of the Psalme Do not I hate thē O Lord that hate thee And am not I greeued with them that rise vp against thee Yea I hate them right sore euen as though they were myne own enemies Try me O God and seeke the ground of my hart Proue mee and examyne my thoughtes Looke well if there be any way of wickednes in me and leade me in the way euerlasting That Psalme dearely beloued in our sauiour Christ in the latter end wherof these foure verses are written being in number .139 is one of those Psalmes which are by order appointed to be read this mornyng at the Mornyng prayer I haue thought good therfore to take a parcell thereof to entreate of as offered by order The Prophet Dauid doth in this Psalme shew him selfe to be myndfull of the maruelous and mercyful prouidence of God towardes al his creatures but especially towardes Man in whose creation preseruation and gouernment hee doth shew both his infinite wysedome

shall leade me and thy right hand shall hold me Whether shall I go from thy spirit and whither shall I flee from thy presence He sheweth also how he estemeth of the deare friendes of God and on the contrary how he doth hate abhorre Gods enemies such as do hate and rise vp against God. Thus you haue hearde a briefe summe of this whole Psalme that is of the chiefe pointes cōtayned in this Psalme being in number .139 I do not entende at this time to entreate of all these thinges or of any one of them but to apply these foure verses which I haue nowe read being the last of this Psalme vnto this present Auditory and to the present occasiō of this assemble For I thinke it the duty of as many as shall occupye such places as this to apply all their speeches to their Auditories and to the occasions of their assembling Considering therefore that thys Auditory is assembled to chuse one to rule the rest I haue
