A SERMON PREACHED BEfore His Maiestie at White-Hall On the 24. of March last being Easter day and being also the day of the Beginning of His Maiesties most Gracious Reigne ¶ By the Bishop of Elie His Maiesties Almoner ¶ Imprinted at London by Robert Barker Printer to the Kings most Excellent Maiestie ANNO 1611. A SERMON PREACHED BEFORE His Maiestie at White-Hall on Easter day last PSAL. 118. verse 22. The Stone which the Builders refused the same Stone is become or made the Head of the Corner THE Stone which the Builders refused saith the Prophet Dauid This is the Stone which yee Builders refused saith the Apostle Peter And saith it of CHRIST our Sauiour Hic est lapis He is the Stone And saith it to Caiaphas and the rest that went for Builders We know then who this Stone is and who these Builders be to begin with And in the very same place the same Apostle telleth vs further what is meant by Refused and what by made Head of the Corner Quem vos whom ye denied and crucified that was His refusing And then Quem Deus whom God hath raised againe from the dead 〈◊〉 was His making Caput Anguli Refused when ● Three dayes agoe Made Head When This very day for Hic est dies followeth streight within a verse This is the Day Which Day there is not one of the Fathers that I haue read but interpret it of Easter Day And so we haue brought the Text and the Time together We know who is the Stone Christ. Who the Builders Caiphas and those with him When refused In his Passion When made Head at his Resurrection that is this day which day is therefore at the 27. verse said to bee Constitutus dies solennis made a solemne Feast day in condensis on which the Church to stand thicke and full vsque ad cornua Altaris euen vp to the very Corners of the Altar This I take it is a good warrant for our Church to make this Psalme a select choise Psalme for this Day as peculiar and pertinen● to the Feast it selfe And a good warrant for vs so to apply it It is the Holy Ghosts owne application by the mouth of S. Peter we may boldly make it ours But though this be the chiefe sense yet is it not the onely The chiefe it is for the Spirit of Prophesie is in it which is the testimony of Iesus Yet not the onely for according to the letter wee cannot deny but that originally it was ment of Dauid Hee was a Stone too and in his time refused yet after raised by God to the highest place euen to bee King of his people The Chaldey Paraphrast the oldest we haue is enough for this thus hee turneth the verse 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 c. The Childe whom the chiefest men oppugned Hee of all the Sonnes of Ishai was made Ruler of Israel A second sense then it hath of Dauid And by analogie it will beare a third and will sort with Ours or with any Prince in like manner banded against and sought to bee put by as Hee and yet after brought by God to the same place that Dauid was To any such it will well agree and bee truely verified of him and rightly applied to him And I confesse I chose it the rather for this third Because as this yeere falleth out vpon one day and Hic est dies This is the day Wee haue in one a memoriall of two benefits of our Sauiours exalting by his Resurrection and of our Soueraignes exalting and making Head of this Kingdome Both lighting so together we were as mee thought so to remember the one that we left not the other out And this text will serue for both Both may in one be set before vs and so wee reioyce and render thankes to God for both For the Lord Christ and for the Lords Christ vnder one Three senses then there are of the Text and to do it right we to touch them all three 1. Christ in prophesie 2. Dauid in History 3. Our owne in analogie But will giue Christ the praecedence Both for his Person He is Dauid● Lord and the head of all Head-stones It is meete Hee haue primatum in omnibus Hee 〈◊〉 all things haue the preheminence And for that the trueth of the Text neuer was so verified in any as in Him We may truely say None euer so low cast downe None euer so high lift vp againe as Hee Others refused but none like Him and their heads exalted but nothing in comparison of His .1 First then of Christs 2. afte● of Dauids briefly 3. and last of Our owne To apply it to Christ. The Stone is the ground of all Two things befall it two things as contrary as may be .1 Refused cast away 2. then called for againe and made Head of 〈◊〉 Building So two parts there are to the eye 1. The refusing 2. and the raising which are his two estates His humiliation and His exaltation In either of these ye may obserue two degrees A quibus and Quousque By whom and How farre By whom refused We weigh the word Aedificantes Not by men vnskilfull but by workmen Builders professed It is so much the more How farre We weigh the word Reprobauerunt vsque ad reprobari euen to a reprobation It is not improbauerunt disliked as not fit for some eminent place but reprobauerunt vtterly reprobate for any place at all Againe exalted by whom The next words are ● Domino by God as good a Builder nay better then the best of them which makes amends for the former And how farre Placed by Him not in any part of the Building but in the part most in the eye the Corner and in the highest place of it the very Head So Reiected and that by the Builders and to the lowest estate And from the lowest estate exalted in Caput Anguli to the chiefest place of all and that by God himselfe This for Christ. And Dauid is a Stone and so is Ours and so is euery good Prince Lapis Israel as Iacob in his Testament calleth them And Builders there bee such as by office should but many times do not their office no more then Caiphas heere Reprobauerunt is when they deuise to put Him by whom God would exalt And Factus Caput when God for all that doth them right brings them to their place the Throne Royall As This was the day when God so brought Dauid as appeareth by the 24. verse And Hic est dies This is the day when hee brought His Maiestie to bee Head of this Kingdome O● these in their order The Stone that the Builders refused c. THe estate of mankinde as they are in Societie either or Church or Kingdome is in diuers termes set forth to vs in Scripture Sometimes of a Flocke sometimes of Husbandry otherwhile of a Building Yee are his flocke diuers times in the Psalmes You are
