Hyems But then Quia Hyems Because it was Winter Hee did walke in Salomons Porch which was couered not in Atrio in that part of the Temple which was open and expos'd to the weather We doe not say that infirme and weak men may not fauour themselues in a due care of their health in these places That he who is not able to raise himselfe must alwayes stand at the Gospell or bow the knee at the name of Iesus or stay some whole houres altogether vncouered heere if that increase infirmities of that kinde And yet Courts of Princes are strange Bethesdaes how quickly they recouer any man that is brought into that Poole How much a little change of ayre does and how well they can stand and stand bare many houres in the Priuy Chamber that would melt and flowe out into Rhumes and Catarrs in a long Gospell heere But Citra Scandalum a man may fauour himselfe in these places but yet this excuses not the irreuerent manner which hath ouertaken vs in all these places That any Master may thinke himselfe to haue the same libertie heere as in his owne house or that that Seruant that neuer puts on his hat in his Masters presence all the weeke on Sunday when hee and his Master are in Gods presence should haue his hat on perchance before his Masters Christ shall make Master and Seruant equall but not yet not heere nor euer equall to himselfe how euer they become equall to one another Gods seruice is not a continuall Martyrdome that a man must bee heere and here in such a posture and such a manner though hee dye for it but Gods House is no Ordinary neither where any man may pretend to doe what he will and euery man may doe what any man does Christ slept in a storme I dare not make that generall let all doe so Christ fauoured himselfe in the Church I dare not make that generall neither to make all places equall or all persons equall in any place T is time to end Basil Saint Basill himselfe as acceptable as hee was to his Auditory in his second Sermon vpon the 14. Psalme takes knowledge that hee had preached an houre and therefore broke off I see it is a Compasse that all Ages haue thought sufficient But as we haue contracted the consideration of great Temples to this lesser Chappell so let vs contract the Chappell to our selues Et facta sint Encaenia nostra let this be the Feast of the Dedication of our selues to God Christ calls himselfe a Temple Soluite templum hoc Iohn 2.19 Destroy this Temple 1 Cor. 3.16 6.19 And Saint Paul calls vs so twice Know ye not that ye are the Temples of the Holy Ghost Facta sint Encaenia nostra Encaenia signifies Renouationem a renewing Aug. and Saint Augustine sayes that in his time Si quis noua tunica indueretur Encaeniare diceretur If any man put on a new garment hee called it by that name Encaenia sua Much more is it so if wee renew in our selues the Image of God and put off the Olde man and put on the Lord Iesus Christ This is truly Encaeniare to dedicate to renew our selues Nazian and so Nazian in a Sermon or Oration vpon the like occasion as this calls Conuersionem nostram Encaenia our turning to God in a true repentance or renewing our dedication Let mee charge your memories but with this note more That when God forbad Dauid the building of an House Because hee was a man of blood at that time Dauid had not embrued his hands in Vriahs blood nor shed any blood but lawfully in iust warres yet euen that made him vncapable of this fauour to prouide God a house Some callings are in their nature more obnoxious and more exposed to sinne then others are accompanied with more tentations so retard vs more in holy duties And therefore as there are particular sinnes that attend certaine places certaine ages certaine complexions and certaine vocations let vs watch our selues in all those and remember that not only the highest degrees of those sinns but any thing that conduces therunto prophanes the Consecration and Dedication of this Temple our selues to the seruice of God it annihilates our repentance and frustrates our former reconciliations to him Almighty God worke in you a perfit dedication of your selues at this time that so receiuing it from hands dedicated to God hee whose holy Office this is may present acceptably this House to God in your behalfes and establish an assurance to you that God will be alwayes present with you and your Succession in this place Amen THE FIRST SERMON PREACHED TO KING CHARLES At Saint IAMES 30.

PSALME 11.3 If the Foundations be destroyed what can the righteous doe WEe are still in the season of Mortification in Lent But wee search no longer for Texts of Mortification The Almightie hand of God hath shed and spred a Text of Mortification ouer all the land The last Sabboth day was his Sabboth who entred then into his euerlasting Rest Be this our Sabboth to enter into a holy and thankfull acknowledgement of that Rest which God affords vs in continuing to vs our Foundations for If foundations be destroyed what can the righteous doe I scarse know any word in the Word of God in which the Originall is more ambiguous and consequently the Translations more various and therfore necessarily also the Expositions more diuers then in these words There is one thing in which all agree that is the Argument and purpose and scope of the Psalme And then in what sense the words of the Text may conduce to the scope of the Psalme wee rest in this Translation which our Church hath accepted and authorized and which agrees with the first Translation knowen to vs by way of Exposition that is the Chalde Paraphrase If Foundations bee destroyed what can the righteous doe The Church of God euer delighted herselfe in a holy officiousnesse in the Commemoration of Martyrs Almost all their solemne and extraordinarie Meetings and Congregations in the Primitiue Church were for that for the honourable Commemoration of Martyrs And for that they came soone to institute and appoynt certaine Liturgies certaine Offices as they called them certaine Seruices in the Church which should haue reference to that to the Commemoration of Martyrs as wee haue in our Booke of Common Prayer certaine Seruices for Marriage for Buriall and for such other holy Celebrations And in the Office and Seruice of a Martyr the Church did vse this Psalme This Psalme which is in generall a Protestation of Dauid That though hee were so vehemently pursued by Saul as that all that wished him well sayd to his Soule Flie as a Bird to the Mountaine as
