The French King is slain by the hands of a Fryar For unto this it may truly be compar'd though the Prophet spake of another thing namely of the Incarnation of our Lord which exceedeth all other Wonders and Miracles As also the Apostle S. Paul referreth the same words unto the Resurrection of Christ Acts 13. v. 41. When the Prophet says a work he means not by it some common or ordinary thing but a rare and notable matter and worthy to be remembred as that of the Creation of the World The Heavens are the works of thy hands and again He rested the seventh day from all the works which he had made When he saith I have wrought with these words the Scripture is wont to express things not to come to pass casually by Fortune or Accident but things falling out by the determined Counsel Will Providence and Ordinance of God As our Saviour says The works that I do shall ye do also and greater works than these Joh. 14. v. 12. and many more in holy Writ to the like purpose Now that he says that it is done in times past herein he follows the use and manner of the other Prophets who for the certainty of the event are wont to predict things to come as if they were past already for as the Philosophers say Things past are of necessity things present of being and things to come only of possibility So do they speak For which certainty the Prophet Esay long before prophecying of the death of Christ hath thus spoken He was led as a Sheep to the slaughter and like a Lamb dumb before his Shearer so opened he not his mouth c. as it is likewise repeated Act. chap. 8. And this of which we are now speaking and which has hapned in these our days is a very famous memorable and well-nigh incredible thing not done or accomplished without the particular providence and disposition of the Almighty A Fryar has kill'd a King not a painted one in Paper nor pictur'd out upon a Wall But the French King in the middle of his Armies encompass'd round about with his Guard and Souldiers which truly is such an Act and done in such a manner that none will believe when it shall be told them and perhaps our Posterity after us will account and esteem it but a Fable That the King is dead or else slain it is easily to be believed but that he is kill'd and taken away in such sort is hardly credible even as we presently assent that Christ is born of a Woman but if we further add of a Virgin-woman then according to human reason we cannot assent unto it and so we can readily believe that Christ died but that he rose from the dead to life again this to Man's natural understanding is imposible and therefore incredible because there is no return from a privation to an habit That one is awakened again out of a sleep extasie or a swound because it is not against Nature we naturally believe it but to be risen again from the dead it seemed so incredible a thing to Nature that St. Paul disputing with the Athenian Philosophers about this very Point was disgusted for it and accused to be a setter forth of new or strange Gods and some as S. Luke reports mocked him others said We will hear thee again of this matteer Of such things therefore which befall not according to the Laws of
