Quintins by our meanes and when we lost Casis in his quarrell he left vs in the lash and gaue vs the slip Thirdly Sennacherib was not tyed to Hezechiah by any band of affinity or consanguinity This man besides the name of Brother and Sister which goeth betweene Christian Princes currant marryed her Maiesties owne sister and afterwards would haue marryed her and so should l●ue her euen naturally Lastly Sennacherib inuaded Hezekiah in his flourishing times surely in his best times He a woman I need not adde well stricken in yeeres whose very sex pleadeth weakenesse enough Yet well fare Iustinian the Emperour for he was so farre from setting vpon Amalosuntha that vertuous and wise learned Queene of the Gothes that dwelt in Italy though he might well haue pretended that Italy belonged to the Empire and therefore that she was after a sort an Vsurper that contrariwise as Procopius writeth he shewed himselfe to be very carefull of her safety and to be enemy to her enemies first and last But what speake I of Iustinian a Christian Emperour and a ciuill Cosroes himselfe that cruell King of Persia a Barbarian and for ought I reade a Pagan he though his fingers were itching to be medling with the Empire yet vpon the Empresse Sophia her letters as Euagrius writeth declaring that the gouernment was in her hands and that he should get no great hon●ur in conquering a woman c. he was perswaded to be quiet and to sit at home But this man had rather be like that dis-honourable miscreant Caesar Borgia his countrey-man by blood who would not suffer Catharine ●fortia a Lady of Italy to enioy her Signiories in quiet but would needs seeke a conquest and a triumph ouer her and like to his father and vncle who would needs haue warre with that Queene of Hungary King Iohns widdow though all Christend●me yea and Turky too did hisse at ●hem both for it Well God that taketh vpon him the protection of Widdowes and Orphans he also doth in a more neere respect tender the s●fety of his anoynted Queene and so I hope our enemies shall find and feele to their perpetuall shame if they shall be so hardy as to inuade vs the Lord that fought for Hezekiah and Ierusalem against Sennacherib will also fight for her Maiesty and this Realme against the Spaniard they shall not come forth against vs so proudly but they shall flee from vs as fearefully c. Which God for his mercy sake grant to whom be praise for euer Amen A SERMON VPON THE SEVENTY SIXTH PSALME THE SIXTH SERMON PSALME 76. verse 9 10. When God arose to Iudgement to saue all the meeke of the earth Selah 10. Surely the wrath of man shall prayse thee the remainder of wrath shalt thou restraine PRAISE is not comely in the mouth of the foolish saith the Wiseman but it becommeth well the iust to be thankefull sayes the Psalmist Thankefulnesse is a most necessary duty and a principall part of Iustice sayes the Philosopher therefore he that is vnthankefull is iustly odious both to God and man What a staine is that to Pharaoh his Butler that he forgat Ioseph To Ioas King of Iudah that he forgat the kindnesse of ●ehoiada by whose meanes he attained the Kingdome I will trouble you with no more such examples On the other side Iethroes gratitude towards Moses for helping his daughters to water their flockes Dauids towards Barzillai for furnishing him and his men with victuall I might recite diuers others out of the Scriptures is greatly renowned Now if we ought thus to be thankefull to men and to suffer no benefit to be spilt vpon the ground like water but to proclaime as Dauid did Who is left of the Linage of Ionathan that I may doe good vnto him for Ionathans sake who hath made me beholding to him that I may requite them If I say we are bound to be thankefull to men for small fauours then how much rather are we bound to God for giuing vs life and breath and all things to enioy and if we cannot be thankefull enough to God for ordinary blessings in that in him we liue moue and haue our being in that he causeth his Sun to shine vpon vs and his raine to fall downe vpon our Lands then what doe we owe him and how can we possibly be thankefull enough for deliuering our soules from death our eyes from teares and our feet from falling for catching the wicked in his owne snare and bringing the mischiefe that he imagined vpon his owne head The Israelites hauing escaped the hands of the Egyptians and the danger of the red Sea sung praises to God with ioyfull lippes So did Deborah and Barack for the victory which God gaue them against Iabin King of Canaan and his Captaine Sisera so the women came out of all the Cities of Israel singing and dancing to meet King Saul and Dauid after he had slaine the Philistine and which commeth neerest our purpose the Iewes in the Kingdome of Persia that had escaped the bloody practices of Haman were not content to reioyce for the present time for a day but ordained it for a Law that such two dayes should be kept festiuall euery yeere Now if we will cast our eyes abroad to other Countries we shall find the like custome to haue beene taken vp by Romanes Grecians Scythians Barbarians ancient modern A taste of them The Romanes counted it for an vnspeakeable blessing to be deliuered from the Tyranny of the Tarquins they celebrated the memoriall of it euery yeere called the feast Regis fugium The same Romanes were glad most glad to haue the turbulent popular Estate remoued and a Monarchy established among them and so glad they are of their Emperour Augustus for that cause that they honour the memory of his victory at Actium whereby the same was settled by an annuall festiuity So the Sicilians for escaping the danger of destruction threatned by the Athenians And to come to later times So they of Lubeck celebrate the first day of the moneth for their deliuerance from the Rugians as Helmoldus witnesseth The Venetians also the fifteenth day of Iune for the defeature of a most fearefull Conspiracy tending to the wracke of that Common-weale as Egnatius writeth And the Antwerpians such a day of the moneth for driuing the French out of the City that thought to haue sacked it and surprized it it was vnder the gouernment of such States as were Protestants when the City was deliuered but yet the Romanists after getting it kept the day holy still To be short The Lubecians that I spake of before celebrate such a day of the moneth euen Saint Lamberts day for escaping the like danger threatned by certaine Traitors of their owne City as Crantzius writeth And because that Conspiracy doth much pourtray forth and fore-describe that same hellish one that was lately vndertaken by our cruell vnnaturall ones for the confusion of whom we praise
