had experience and is well able to gouerne beyng endued wyth all those giftes that must be vsed in gouernment If he haue gouerned hym selfe and hys own familye well then is hee the meeter to rule other But if this be not in hym then is hee altogether vnmeete to be chosen to publike gouernment It is also requisite that he haue in him the feare of God in such sort as I haue declared Not that feare that is ioyned wyth hatred but that which is matched with loue So that he doth feare God because he loueth him and doth loue him because hee feareth hym and wyth a reuerend and louing feare seeketh to do the wyll of God. Moreouer he must be a true maÌ„ no false no subtile or crafty dealer but suche one as dealeth trulye in word and deede And to conclude he must euen from his very hart hate that pestilent roote couetousnes And thus much for that which I thought meete to speake touching that which is to be done by theÌ„ that haue to geue voyces in thys election Now as touching him that shal be chosen he must looke vpon the example of Dauid to follow it He sayth Do not I hate them O Lord that hate rhee And am not I greeued with them that ryse vp against thee Yea I hate them and that right sore euen as though they were myne own enemies Try me O God and seeke the ground of my hart proue me and examine my thoughtes Looke well if there be any way of wickednes in me and leade me in the way euerlasting Thys example of the Prophet Dauid doth teach hym that shall be chosen especially two lessoÌ„s wher of the one is how he must be affected towardes them that hate the Lord and rise vp against him and the other is what he should continually craue at Gods hand in hys harty and earnest prayers to God. For the first he saith Do not I hate them that hate thee c. And for the other he saith Try me O God and seeke the ground of myne hart c. In the scriptures they are sayd to hate the Lord that geue anye part of his honor to any creatures as in that commaundement wherin the Lord forbiddeth idolatry he sayth thus I wyll visit the syns of the Fathers vpon the children to the third and fourth generation in them that hate me c. where they that breake that commaundement either in making or worshipping of any Image are sayd to hate God because they put that image in the place of God and geue that honour to it whych is due to God. The Prophet Dauid also calleth suche synners when in the fiftith Psalme hee sayth thus The Lord sayd vnto the sinner why takest thou my testament in thy mouth seing thou hatest to be reformed and thou hast cast my word behinde thee Thou sawest a theefe and thou rannest with him and with the adulterer thou dyddest cast in thy lot c. These be they that hate the Lord because they haue euen sold them selues to serue sinne and must therefore needes hate him against whom they commit synne The example of the Prophet Dauid therefore doth teach him that shal be chosen to beare rule to hate all such maner of men as these be that is that do geue them selues to serue synne and wyll not be reformed by any maner admonition or fatherly chasticement He must hate them therfore not with such hatred as I haue spoken of that is to refuse them in elections but with perfect hatred euen as though they were his own enemies That is euen as by the corruption of our own nature we are moued to hate them that bee our enemies for by the rule of our Religion we are taught to loue our enemies In that they be the enemies of God therfore we must hate them so far forth as they be so but theyr persons we must not hate He therfore that shal beare rule must so hate them that hate the Lord in such sort as I haue sayd that hee vse the swoord that God hath geuen him in punishing their wickednesses For as saynt Paule writeth to the Romanes he is Gods Reuenger And he must doo this earnestly and diligently Least he come wythin the reatche of thys cursse Curssed is euery one that doth the worke of God negligently In his praiers to God the Prophet Dauid craued especiallye two thinges wherof one was that he might be throughly tryed and the other that the Lord would leade him in the way euerlasting He therfore that shall be chosen must in his prayers beg the same with desire to be purged of all euil that he may be lead by the good spirit of God all the dayes of thys his transitory lyfe and in the ende thereof into that lyfe that neuer shall haue ende Try me O God sayth the Prophet and seeke out the ground of my hart c. In these wordes the Prophet sheweth hym selfe to bee wylling to walke before the Lord hys God and to haue his waies knowen vnto him It is not inough for vs to know that the Lord knoweth our waies but we must be desirous that the Lord would haue such regard vnto our wayes that he suffer vs not to walke in anye way of wickednes but that he doo by such meanes as may please him bring vs to the way euerlasting leade vs therein by his holy spirit that is in that way the end wherof is euerlasting lyfe and that we may continually walke in that way all the dayes of this our transitory lyfe and so in the ende thereof finde euerlasting lyfe He that shal be chosen therefore must learne by the example of Dauid to craue this at the handes of God and so shall he bee alwayes carefull to walke in the Lordes wayes that when the Lord shall try him there be no way of wickednes found in hym In that the Prophet desireth to be lead in the euerlastyng way he confesseth that of him self he is not able to walke therein This lesson therefore is to bee learned of hym especially that now is to be choseÌ„ and of all other generallye that none is able of hym selfe to walke in this euerlasting way but al that shall walke therin must be lead by Gods holy spirit by whom who so is lead is vndoubtedly the chylde of god Let vs therefore all pray continually that we may be lead by that spirit euermore that our lyfe being acceptable to him we maye after the same shall bee ended bee happy with him for euer Thus as the shortnes of the time would suffer as God hath made me able I haue by occasioÌ„ of those wordes which at the beginnyng I read out of the Psalme 139. noted those things that I thought meete to be noted in this Auditory and to be applied to the present occasion of our assembling at this tyme. The Lord for his mercies sake so woorke in all our hartes by hys holy spirit

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 gouernmeÌ„t of the same Citie Coneionatore Roberto Croleo Â¶ Perused and licenced according to the Quoenes Maiesties Iniunction Â¶ 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 fouÌ„d 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 AppeÌ„dix 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 instrumeÌ„t 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 Â¶ 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 succÃ©ede 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 theÌ„ 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 and almighty power He sheweth hym selfe also to bee myndeful of the infinite and incomprehensible nature of God whych caÌ„not be comprehended in heauen or earth or in any deepe places but fylleth all places and is fylled or comprehended of none He fylleth all and contayneth all and is not filled or contayned of any If I go vp into heauen sayth he thou art there if I go downe into hel thou art there to Yea if I shall take the winges of the morning that is if I shal make as much speede as maÌ„ can make to flee from thee and so flee into the vttermost parts of the sea euen there also thy hand 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 coÌ„tayned 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 occasioÌ„ 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
