SALOMONS PEST-HOVSE OR TOWRE-ROYALL Collected out of the 18. Chapter of the Prouerbs verse 10. The name of the Lord is a strong towre the righteous runneth vnto it and is preserued Confirmed by the practise of King Dauid 1. Chron. Chap. 21. ver 17. and 26. And he called vpon the Lord and he answered him by fire from heauen THe whole Colledge of the bodily Physicians and the Prince of them that wise and learned Galen prescibe for the time of Plague that of all remedies to preuent the contagion the best is to flie shun the infected and corrupted ayre and to depart vnto a wholesome and purer ayre and that with these three rules Citò longè tardè Depart speedily farre off and returne slowly As this is Physically prescribed so it is diligently practised as daily experience teacheth of all sorts of men yea of the Physicians themselues I will not contradict the prescriptiō of the Physician nor disprooue the diligence of the sons of men if they vse departure lawfully therin not sinning Contra Patriam charitatem vocationem against their Country their calling Christian charity But because by the corruption of our nature which is more than the corruption of the ayre we suffer our selues as with maine sayle to be carried away from the Creatour to the creatures fixing all our senses more vpon the aerial corruptiō than vpon the inward cause of the contagion the rottennesse of our bones which we carrie within our selues are more carefull to depart into the Countrey than vnto the Lord as if by the swiftnesse of our feet we could out-runne Him who rideth vpon the wings of the Cherubims Psal 10.4 which causeth that the Lord hath a Pursiuant which he sendeth to arrest some in the pure ayre namely the Plague it selfe which hath arrested some in the Countrie as well as the Citie Anno. 1603. and 1625. as the experience of the two last Visitations verified and this present yeere haue shewen vnto vs all verifing the threatning of the Lord Deut. 28.22 This is the reason why the whole Colledge of the spirituall Physicians of our soules haue prescribed for the time of Plague a better flight and departure than that which is prescribed by Galen and the rest namely to the name of Iehouah by the feet of Prayer mentioned and storied by that wise Salomon in the words prefixed And as it is prescribed so it hath been practised of the Saints of God among the rest of King Dauid in the time of Plague as the second place adioyning vnto the first doth witnesse Of this place then which is the right Arke the little Zoar whereunto our first care ought to be in the time of plague to depart and which is also the trustie friend and seruant to aide the sicke and the Exercise for them that are departed to spend the time till they returne giue me leaue Christian Readers to discourse out of the harmonie of these two places here prefixed To pray well saith Chrysostome is an excellent art which doth adorne a Christian but it is not sufficient to know that we must pray but also in what manner and therfore that we might the better be instructed in the going to this place and become skilfull in this art I will braunch the description of this place in these three seuerall parts which will store vs with a cluster of singular Meditations The first is the name of the place it is the name of the Lord. The second is the qualitie condition propertie and the safenesse of it expressed in two things First because it is a strong towre secondly by the successe of those that run vnto it and it exalted or deliuered which is the thing which they receiue that run to it The third thing is what maner of persons they must be that flie to it what househould stuffe they must carrie thither with them to be receiued noted in these words the righteous runneth vnto it As for the place let me obserue foure things For as in the time of Plague for our departure first it is necessarie that we know the name of the place whereunto we go secondly that we haue feet to beare carie vs thither thirdly that wee haue a direction that wee might not erre fourthly that we haue some right and interest there or some acquaintance that we may be receiued So likewise these foure things are necessarie to be knowne of vs in our spirituall departure Touching the name of the place whereunto Dauid fled in the time of plague as it hath diuers names 1 The name of the place so in this place it is called the name of Iehouah Heere I pretermit the fiue seueral significations of the name of the Lord vsed in the booke of God taking it in this place first for the Lord himself secondly for his attributes by which he doth manifest himselfe Of which Moses Num. 14. bringeth in a perfect catalogue the Lord hath deliuered this his name by proclamation Exo. 34.5.6 The Lord the Lord strong mercifull and gratious slow to anger and aboundant in goodnes and truth c.
