Printed in the Yeere 1647. Omnibus Christi fidelibus To all those that are the faithfull lovers of the Lord 's Anoynted Christian Reader IT is no Ambition that I have to appeare in print which hath put forth this Sermon only my zeale unto the truth it is a piece that craves your pardon and your patronage your pardon because so weakely done as being the worke of him who is minimus Ecclesiae the least of those who serve at Gods Altar and the Primitiae the first fruits in this kinde of his Labours your Patronage because it presseth nothing but the truth You know the Proverb obsequium amicos veritas odium parit and if ever men were hated persecuted imprisoned for the Testimony of the truth which is the sole Halignancy against them this age hath done it it fares with us as once with that great Apostle St. Paul we are become enemies because we tell the truth but for my part I shall say as once Gregory did Grego Moral In causa qua Deum servire cupio homines non formido I will not trouble you any longer I onely wish to all men the practise of the wise mans precept that we would feare God and honour the King which two must alwaies goe together if we desire that in this Kingdome Righteousnesse and Peace may Kisse each other which shall be the constant prayer of him who will for ever rest Yours in Christ Jesus John Williams Errata sic corrige Pag. 2. l. 21 leave out By. p. 3. l. 21. reade is p. 4. l. 6. reade wayes Christi Salus de Coelis OR Gods defence of his Anoynted PSAL. 18. vers 50. Great deliverances giveth he unto his King and sheweth mercy unto his Anoynted even to David and to his seede for ever Our ordinary Translation renders it great prosperity giveth he unto his King c. THE occasion that on Friday last did call me to this place was the Kings injunction He enjoyned the day by Proclamation and I am sorry that so few obeyed if I am sure it is the Apostle St. Pauls injunction Omnis anima Rom. 13.1 let every soule be Subject and how then the Contemners and Neglecters of the day will answer it I know not for my owne part as I was willing to solemnize and observe the day so I fitted the text unto it the day it was dies Regis the Kings holy day so you call it on that day did the Lord vouchsafe great prosperity or deliverance to his King and the Text it is confessio Regis the Kings confession or Declaration of that mercy unto God before the people so that you see the Argument of the Text it is gratiarum actio giving of thanks delivered frō his commō nature confession for what indeed are al our praises but the acknowledgment of Gods mercies great Deliverances giveth he c. But not to hold you any longer in the Preface I come unto the Text it selfe and this naturally digests it selfe into two generall parts 1. The Thesis 2. The Hypothesis 1. The Thesis and this comprehends Gods care of Kings In genere great deliverances giveth he unto his King 2. By the Hypothesis and this comprehends Gods care of David in Individuo of him in speciall above the rest and sheweth loveing kindnesse or mercy unto David I begin with the First the Thesis and therein I observe 2. parts First the quis the Person who it is that gives deliverance and that is the Lord implyed in the Relative he but collected from the 46. verse of this Psa Let the Lord live and blessed be my strength and the God of my salvation be exalted Secondly the cui the object of this mercy the person to whom the Lord vouchsafes it and that is Regi to the King and thus you have the modell of the whole Discourse And first I shall begin with the first the quis the person who it is that gives deliverance the Lord And this is a word that implies a power to performe it for as Tertullian very well observes Tertul. Cont. Hermo Deus est nomen substantiae sed Dominus est nomen potestatis God saith he is a name of essence of substance and implies the Divinity of the Creator but the word Lord is a name of power and soveraignty implying the Dominion that he hath over all his creatures and this sayes Tertullian you may observe in the 1 of Gen. 1. and 2. verses before the Creation the Prophet Moses does call the Creator God post creatas vero creaturas Dominum se indicat In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth and the earth was without forme and voyd c. but as soone as ever things were created then he calls him Lord spiritus Domini saies Moses in the second verse Incubabat super facies aquarum and the spirit of the Lord moved upon the face of the waters indeed that which wee translate Lord in the Originall Adon from the Primitive Eden Basis quia Deus est fundamentum sustentator omnium creaturarum he is the B●sis or Foundation whereupon they stand and therefore the Prophet David in the 2 verse of this Psalme calls God his strength and his rock and his defence his Saviour his God and his might his buckler the home of his salvation and his refuge It is true if God does not give prosperity deliverance salvation for so St. Ierome reades the Text Magnificans salutes Regis It is he that giveth great salvation to his King there is none can doe it so sayes God himselfe Esay 43.11 Ego sum praeter me St. Hierome renders it absque me non est servator I even I am the Lord and besides me there is no Saviour and this is the reason why the Prophet gives God so many titles in the 1 verse of this Psalme to shew that he is the only and the absolute Saviour and the Devill with all his instruments hath not so many to hurt as God hath many waies to helpe his King nay if God be pleased to helpe to give salvation to his King there is none can hinder it wee neede not feare the worst adversary that happeneth and this is manifestly proved from that of the Prophet Isaiah Esay
