O that we were not become so drunkē with this our prosperitie as to forget that good Lord which hath giuen this good Land vnto vs O that we were not like Ieshurun spoken of in Deutronomie like the Horse which being fat and well fedde fedde doth spurne and flinge against his keeper nourisher O that we were not lyke the vntamed Heyfar by reason of our long running in plentifull pastures to forget to cary the sweete yoke of obedience O that we coulde make true vse of all the benefites and blessinges of our heauenly Father that the louing kindnesse of God might leade vs to repentance that we could as Samuel speaketh heere to the Israelites Feare the Lord and serue him ●n trueth with all our hartes and consider what great thinges he hath done for vs that we coulde Prayse the Lord for his goodnesse and declare the woonders which he dayly doth for this realme of Englande Then shoulde the blessing of God still remayne vppon vs both vpon Prince and people Then should the Lord continue his mercies in going in and out with our Armies Then should the Lord eyther make our enemies become our ●riendes or throughly turne his hande against our aduersaries Then should there ●e amongst vs euery soule duetifully sub●ect to the higher powers Then should we 〈◊〉 all distresses with contented mindes cast all our care on God for he careth for vs. Then should we in hart conceiue that assured confidence trust in the goodnesse of God that we should faythfully say with Dauid If the Lord be on our side we neede not care what man can doe vnto vs. Then should the Lord long prosper and euen for euer preserue that happie Monarchie vnder which we are here so peaceably gouerned and graunt vs a Kingdome of euerlastyng peace in the worlde to come Which giftes graces the Lord of Lords and King of all Kinges vouchsafe to giue vnto vs for the merites of our sauiour Christ Iesus To whom with the Father and the holy Ghost one true and euerliuing God for all his inestimable benefites bestowed vpon vs be all honour glory thanksegeuing and prayse now for euer Amen FINIS A SERMON DESCRIBING THE NATVRE AND HORROVR OF STVBBERNE DISOBEDIENCE Preached at Tanridge in Surrey the xvi day of Iuly Anno domini 1598.

Yours euer assured to his power Simon Harward ❧ The preface of the Author to the Christian Reader AS in the former Sermon beloued in Christ there is laide open vnto thee the offence of the Israelites in desiring a king So in this the argument whereof was likewise takē out of the first chapter by the order of our church appointed for the Sabaoth then next ensuing there doth follow some part of the punishment wherewith it pleased God to scourge the malcontented desires of that rebellious people In asking a king they did wilfully cast off the ordinance of God who had established anotherforme of gouernmēt amongst them therefore as this history doth euidently declare the Lord hath now giuen them a King in his wrath and as commonly he doth punish euery transgression in and by it selfe so to a rebellious wilfull people he hath sent a stubborne and obstinate gouernour The matter then of this latter Sermon depending so necessarily on the other going before I haue thought it not amisse here to ioyne them both togither with equall labour of pēning as before they required not much vnequall time in their vttering deliuering And being so vnited I do offer them here ioyntly to thy godly consideration praying thee in the same maner to accept them as they are now presented to thee that is with a single sincere and wel-willing affection Farewell in Christ From Tanridge this xviii of Iuly Anno 1598. 1.
