Drawne out of the holy Scriptures, after the forme of Psalmes. By R.B.P.	Buckland, Ralph, 1564-1611.	1604-1605 (1605)	STC 4008; ESTC S117366	36,700	158

worship him More pretious are your soules in his sight then the Phoenix or the Vnicornes fole He hath raised vnto you a seate of mercy whither to haue recourse for remission of sinnes And prepared a table for your refection wherein himselfe is the banquet and feast O howe delectable are thy dainties O Lord howe acceptable are thy holy Altars Much better are the reliques there of then the exquisite cates of princes Much better is it to be an abject in thy houshold then a great man in Kings Courtes The meanest in thy Church is noble the poorest in thy Church is rich Who is able to expresse the magnificence of thy Church or the one halfe of her glory We haue Priestes rightly consecrated and anointed in sacred wise Orderly accomplishing thy dread full misteries in vestments of holynesse and honour Monkes and other Religious persons persisting day and night in prayer With fasting and disciplines afflicting themselues in sackcloath and hayre for the sinnes of the people Vowed Virgins veiled handmaides of thy Christ by like order of life contend for like Crowne And fixing him profoundly in hart whome they haue chosen as celestiall Spouse Endeauour nothing else then to be perfect in his sight and serue him without distraction Vpon the society of thy faithfull legions of Angels attend for their defence Vpon them thy eyes are perpetually open to consider their wants and heare their prayers Who liueth in their vnity is in the communion of Saintes partaker of their assistance and patronage Hath his part in euery good deed and is daylie prayd for throughout the world Who dieth a liuely member of this holy body misticall by prayers of the liuing hath remission of payne Happy art thou O flocke of Peter blessed are all nations subject to his chaire Where sit the judges of the house of Iacob the rodde and scepter of thy Kingdome O Redeemer Thy selfe art a watchman ouer it who neuer sleepest a protector who neuer slumbrest Whosoeuer impugne it shall rotte as they liue their eyes shall sinke and their tongue shall be eaten out They shall perish in thy fury and melt like waxe before the fire None shall resist thy Church and be innocent No man fighteth against her without foile he dasheth his fist against a Rocke Her enemies shall licke the dust of her feete and those which oppugned her kisse her steps Such as will not shall be called a reprobate company vvith vvhome thou wilt exercise eternall wrath Aboundance of blessinges vpon all them which honour her and curses eternally will followe them which vexe her Her loue and mercy is more then the tender hart of a Mother Her anger more to be feared then a Princes rage In her remayneth knowledge vvhich can not erre power vvhich may not be contradicted In her is the treasure of thy Sons merits reposed In her possession are the Keyes of thy heauenly Kingdome Thou art her teacher that shee may not be ignorant The holy Ghost is her sanctifier to preserue her from iniquity As the Moone from the Sunne fetcheth her light so is she illuminated from Christ her Spouse In her only dost thou raigne with magnificence in her only thou art to be found Not so the Sinagogue of the wicked not so the congregation of Heretikes Among whome as in his Kingdome sitteth the Prince of pride who hath dominion ouer all children of darknesse Presuming as though they were thy counsailors or as if the holy Ghost spake in their eare As though they were the lampes of the world with whome Religion was borne with whome it should die They say to the auncient Fathers hold your peace and to the Doctors of the Church we will teach you wisedome But their pride is more then their power for thou dwellest not in harts subject to sinfulnesse Swelling in cogitations of their harts they proudly tosse vp their heddes as vntamed coltes As childreÌ„ of Belial without yoke they challenge liberty without obedience Priestes they make to themselues for their newe lawe and put vpon them authority which they cannot giue Like Apostata children they haue made assemblies not in thy name begonne a webbe and not in thy spirit False Prophets sell them follies and lies and set cushions of ease vnder sinners elbowes For a little lucre they justifie the wicked vpon confidence of faith they assure saluation Peoples sores they close vvith a false skinne vvhen the vvound festreth they say all is well Eating in effect the peoples sinnes and cloathing themselues vvith their iniquities In steede of the supersubstantiall Bread of life they giue them Serpents for the Chalice of saluation poyson of Adders Making thee more vnjust then any Tyrant they teach that thou punishest all sinnes with equall payne And that vvithout difference of desertes thou rewardest all vvith equall glory They say thou canst not make thy Saints and Angels to vnderstand our prayers nor shewe to them thinges done in earth They foolishly say that thou wilt not haue vs honour thy friendes and that thou settest litle by their intercession Denying that vvhose sinnes the Church forgiueth are forgiuen in heauen they say thou canst not giue such authority to man Doubting of thy Omnipotency they say with the Capharnaits howe can Christ giue vs his body for food With the faithlesse they sticke not to say his wordes are hard and who can beleeue him His promise of being vvith his Church to the end of the vvorld they contemne And that the Holy Ghost shall teach her all truth they credit not Wanting the band of vnity vnder seuerall heades they make seuerall companies and sects Hauing no certayne rule of faith each is author of his owne beliefe framing a Religion by priuate fancy Both in Doctrine and life all disorder is among them eternall horrour and confusion Oh with how great difference most supereminent light hast thou seperated Israell from the Aegyptians So plaine hast thou made the high way of truth that a very foole neede not misse the path Our enemies giue testimony to our faith and confesse that we may be saued therein They which oppugne it doe justifie it in confessing the primitiue Doctors to haue erred with vs. And thy Church not vnmindefull of her great priuiledge nor vngratefull for thy benefits Honoureth thee alwaies with inward purity worthy of thy holines and with outward ornaments worthy of thy Majesty Seauen times in the day shee singeth thy prayses and prayeth for Catholikes throughout the world Heare her prayers O enemy of falshood and giue all the earth to vnderstand That Heresie is a tempest raging only for a time but the foundation of thy Church endureth for euer A PSALME WHEREIN THE CATHOLIKE CALleth to minde his conuersion giuing thankes to God for the same THE SIXT PSALME MEDITATE O my soule a newe song open my lips to a psalme of thanksgiuing Rejoyce in him that made thee rejoyce in him that redeemed thee Rejoyce in him that conserueth thee rejoyce in him that

the counsaile of the sage He buildeth breaketh scepters and bringeth wisardes to their wittes end Pharao was by his plagues compelled to let the children of Israell Sacrifice in liberty Cyrus by his aide conquered the Oppressor dissolued by his instinct the long captiuity of Iuda A second Cyrus hath he stirred vp confirming his scepter for the good of his people He shal likewise bring the Infants of Sion from all quarters of their banishment joyfully shall they returne from forraigne landes And those Countries where now they harbour shall finde succour in this Isle to their ovvne necessities Thrise happy are yee who shall see those dayes your hartes shall be replenished with joy There shal not be any more grief misery and tribulation But persecution shal be recoumpted with mirth as persons arriued discourse of shipwracke The arme of the malignant being broaken our LORD shall raigne in mens hartes for euer and euer The tempestuous night being passed a perpetuall day shall be our comfort Which if we liue to see to haue suffered for Christ shall be a joy during life If we die before we rest in assured confidence of a happy resurrection And alwayes an immaculate conscience shall bee a svveete odour to the Almighty and a banquet to our selues By affliction our soules are purged of their drosse and their imperfections consumed By persecution we are tried as by the fanne whether we will be carried away with euery wind They which nowe stand shall be planted afresh as a glorious generation and be as principall stones in restauration of the Temple Aboundantly shall Gods mercies recompence their losses gladnesse shal exceede their sorrowes an hundred-fold All that shall see them shall know and say these are they which would not bowe to Baall Constant Confessors of Christ Iesus the only glory of our nation Iust is God in his judgementes and hath ordayned a time wherein to remember vs. His comming shall be as a sweete showre to the parched ground and as a labourers vvages at the vveekes end Cease shall our bondage and he shall blesse vs vvith an eternall liberty His truth his justice his Priestes his Sacrifice shal no more be taken away For a moment he afflicted vs but for euer shall his consolation endure Nowe therefore shew your selues men yee that endure for justifying your faith Runne forward without wearines atchieue vvithout fainting a happy course A Crowne hangeth ouer your heades vnspeakeable blisse is prepared for you God himselfe shall be your great reward your hope is full of immortality A DEEPE RECOGITATION OF THE FIRST conuersion of the English nation to the faith of Christ and the continuance thereof THE THIRD PSALME MY hart melteth and my bowels tremble while I conferre the times O my God The times of this our miserable age with the golden dayes of our forefathers We haue heard with our eares and thy Scribes haue commended to eternall memory The worke that thou wroughtest one thousand yeares past in conuerting our Auncestors to the faith To a people that sate in darknesse and shadowe of death it pleased thee to shew the light of thy countenance That the reliques of an Heathen nation should be saued that no people should be exempt from knowledge of thy lawe and title to thy glory Thou preparedst thine elect seruant Gregory to gouerne the Apostolike Sea A Pastor like Dauid according to thine owne hart Who vvith great care executing his charge fulfilled perfectly the name and office of a watchman Thou stirredst vp his hart to enterprise the conuersion of the English And enflamedst his minde with zeale of dilating thy name vnto the endes of the world While he was yet priuate thou hadst sent of our youth to be sold at Rome Intending thereby the accomplishment of thy purposed mercy They were brought to the Market-place to be cheapned as beastes price was set vpon them as slaues Endevved yet vvith reasonable soules and such visages as commended the excellency of thy beautifull workmanship Iust neuerthelesse was their present condition vvho vvere bruite beastes by sinne and slaues of the Diuell by infidelity Thy holy seruant sawe them and his hart yearned at their calamity But thou inspiredst him that their saluation was neare and that himselfe should be the instrumeÌ„t thereof Thou placedst thy wordes in his lips and hearing that they were called Angles he said To Angels this nation must be vnited whome in countenance they so resemble VnderstaÌ„ding their Prouince was called Deira and their King AÃ«lle He inferred that deliuered from Gods ire indignation they shortly should sing Alleluia After this O Lord thou diddest raise vp Gregory to be supreame Pastor of thy vniuersall flocke Thou gauest him both ability and will to compasse that which he had before thirsted And to finish the worke which thou secretly hadst in hand He sent Augustine thy approoued Priest with a chosen company fit for so great and holy an enterprise A long and weary some way they passed but thou easedst their trauaile with daylie consolation In the midst of their journey their courage languished but thou confirmedst them afresh Through straunge landes and vncouth wayes they passed but thy hand euermore protected them They crossed the Seas and came to an Island whose tongue they vnderstood not Thou didest alwayes assist them and wert a present aide to their necessities Thou art Lord of the Isles no lesse then of the continent neither doth distance of places abridge thy power Thus thou broughtest Monkes from beyond the high insuperable Alpes to kindle in Infidels hartes the fire of thy loue At their entrance they bare before them the triumphant signe of the Crosse the badge of Christians the memory of our Redemption A token that they preached the Sonne of Man crucified a protestation of their faith and profession They sange the sacred Litanies with loude voice inuocating Saints and Angels to their assistance Grace thou gauest them in the sight of Princes and our Country beganne to yeald her fruits The seede vvhich they sovved tooke roote and yealded encrease apace Through many tempestes and stormes it preuailed through contradictions it augmented the more They conquered this land to thy CHRIST and subdued all mens hartes to thy Gospell Possessing the Prouinces not by the sword but in thy word not in their arme but in thy spirit They established the function of thy holy Altar wherein thy Sonne is both Priest and Sacrifice They administred the seauen SACRAMENTES and planted the vvhole Doctrine of the Catholike Church They laide a firme foundation of their forefathers faith with the honourable rites thereunto appertayning And once more this Island flourished afresh recouering her auncient glory Which many yeares before shee had attayned by embracing the Christian faith Vaunting her selfe to be the first Christian Prouince of the world the eldest child of the Church The faithful throughout the earth rejoyced at her Religious example
