you may already see how sutable this Text is to the present occasion It is Davids in the History Christs in the prophecy so must it then have been and it will be found ours in the Application I shall not at present insist on the opening of the words only as to that here where the Lord is said to make this day This is the day which the Lord hath made c. All dayes are the Lords and made by him Times as things are from him but some dayes are his more especially having his stamp and being owned by himself as his above others of this kind were those 1. Which had his appointment in his word by speciall command as the Sabbath also other dayes mentioned and observed under the Leviticall Priesthood called also Sabbaths and his Sabbaths 2. There are dayes also of the Lords making which are so made by the wayes and works of his Providence made by the voice of his Providence as were those other by express appointment in his word written Such are 1 dayes of the Humiliation private or publick in them is Gods voice heard The Lords voice crieth unto the City and the man of wisdom shall see thy name Hear the Rod and who hath appointed it Mich. 6. 9. Do we see a rod cross dispensations from the Lord then and in that is the Lords voice heard and what then speaks that voice unto us In that day did the Lord God of Hosts call to weeping and to mourning c. Is 22. 12. That is a day then and thereby made by the Lord for Humiliation for Weeping and for mourning c. In like manner 2 when the Lord doth speak good to his people to some in their private or to mauy or all in publick concernments thereby is there a day of the Lords making a day of thanksgiving such as is this which we now celebrate These are dayes of the Lords making 1. Because they are from him and by that his voice of Providence called for and appointed to us for dayes of praise The day is made by him when the good given in the day is by him and from him 2. A day of praise is then of the Lords making more especially when the Lord not only gives good in it but that is done in such a manner and with such eminent Manifestations of his goodness and glory that it cannot but be owned his and from his hand and his only The right hand of the Lord doth valiantly the right hand of the Lord is exalted the right hand of the Lord doth valiantly v. 15. 16. For the Stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner v. 22. which must be acknowledged the Lords doing and marvellous in our eyes v. 23. thereupon it follows This is the day which the Lord hath made v. 24. And this is this above others a day of the Lords making The point on the whole shall be That those dayes made by the Lord for good unto his People are to be of them particularly observed I shall reduce this into parts That the Lord doth many times make dayes in which he will give good unto his People That it is our duty to improve such opportunities In the first is Gods work this is the day which the Lord hath made in the other is our work we will rejoyce and be glad in it I shall begin with Gods work That the Lord doth many times make dayes in which he giveth good to his People There is none of you which hear me this day who in your own experiences cannot but witness to this truth But I am at present for this in a more publick consideration so doth the 〈◊〉 require it and in the proof of this doctrine I shall confine my self unto the Lords dealing with those two hinted at in my Text David the tipe and Christ the Antitipe to both whom these words particularly referr and what will be said of these will fall into our present work so naturally that little application will be therein necessary I shall speak first of David of whom are these words as to the letter that he was a stone which the builders refused and after made the head stone of the corner v. 22. concerning which it might well be said This is the Lords doing it is marvellous in our eyes David although he were not that stone which is properly understood of Christ yet was he a stone refused by the builders c. A stone in the Scripture sence and as here intended signifieth Government principality Soveraignty A King is in this sence a stone so we find it in the blessing of Joseph that from him should be the Shepheard the stone of Israell Gen. 49. 24. Intending the Kingdom of the ten tribes and beginning in the house of Jeroboam of the tribe of Ephraim For on that sin of Reuben Jacobs first born desiling his Fathers bed was the birthright and principality given from him unto Joseph or to Ephraim his Son 1 Chr. 5. 1 2. And in that sence is Christ also called a stone cut out without hands smiting and breaking the Image in peices Dan. 2. 34. after expounded a Kingdom which should break in pieces and consume all those Kingdoms and it self for ever v. 44. 45. and where a King is called a stone in that is intended a foundation stone so is it said of Christs Kingdom Behold I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone a tried stone a precious co●●●r stone a sure foundation c. Is 28. 16 A King is therefore a stone a foundation stone the basis and foundation of a Peoples happiness And how David this stone was first refused and after made the head stone of the corner is worthy our consideration in the severall steps and degrees of it wherein we shall find a parallel and lively Portraicture of our gracious Soveraign whose day is thus celebrated of us and on the same occasion as was that day of Davids First David you know had been anointed King and by the Lord appointed the Shepheard and stone of Israel that notwithstanding that his right which was well enough understood he was refused and opposed by Saul and by the people and the chief of them here called builders they joyning with Saul against him Also after the death of Saul David found opposition from Ishbosheth Sauls Son who succeeded him although he were farr short of his Fathers resolution and parts for Government being a weak Prince and governed rather then governing easily checkt by his great ones especially Abner Generall of his Army by whom whilst he stood by him he was supported but was soon cast down when forsaken of him 2. Sam. 2. 8. 3. 8. 9. 10. 11. And what David suffered in all this especially under Saul is evident he being persecuted pursued prescribed declared against and at length enforced to flee his Country into forreign parts to a People of a strange Language and Worship with other
