The reason of both which is very euident A Wise King gouernes with Iustice and Equity and the Kinges Throne is established by righteousnesse Prouerbes 25 5. And the King that iudgeth in Truth his Throne shall bee established for euer Prou. 29 14. Againe a prudent and wise King as he maintaines Iustice so his principall and chiefe care is to maintaine and aduance piety and godlinesse the true sincere worship of God throughout all his kingdomes So did holy Dauid of whom it is said that he ruled thy people prudently with all his power And wherein did his prudence appeare he was no sooner set vpon the throne but he assembled all the congregation of Israel and they brought againe the Arke of the Lord with singing and dauncing with Vyols with Cimbals and with Trumpets 1. Chron. 13 verse 2 and 8. The like did that most religious and wise King Iosiah He made a Couenant before all the people to walke after the Lord and to keepe his Commandements and be caused all that were found in Ierusalem and Beniamin to stand to that couenant and he compelled all that were found in Israel to serue the Lord. Whereupon it followed that all the daies of Iosiah the people turned not backe from the Lord. 2. Chron. 34 ver 31 32 33. Such a blessing the Church and the whole kingdome hath of a Prudent Religious and wise King On the other side an irreligious a wicked and vnwise King or Gouernor by suppressing Iustice and equity and making his Lust a Law impiously saying with the Donatists Quod volumus sanctum est or as Iulia did to Caracalla Si libet licet what I list that 's a Law Such an one is euen a trouble to the whole land and to his owne people as Eliah said to King Ahab 1. Kings 18 18.

Kings 14 verse 9. and 16. You see now what an heauy iudgement and curse an vnwise King is vnto the Land and people but that Kingdome is happy that people and those Subiects are happy ouer whom Salomon a wise and prudent King is placed by the Lord. I may truely heere say vnto you your selues also being witnesse and say it to the immortell praise of Gods name to the honour of our Soueraigne and to the ioy and comfort of all his people that in this happinesse this renowned Kingdome among all and aboue all Nations of the earth is blessed this day Happie O King are thy people and ●…appie are thy Subiects or Seruants It is not my meaning nor is it fit to make a panegericall Oration in this place at large therein to recount and amplifie also those manifold blessings which by the meanes of our SALOMON we doe now enioy Yet the more to stirre vs vp to magnifie and blesse Gods glorious name and if it be possible more also to loue and honour that Sacred Maiesty whom God hath chosen to be his royall Instrument whereby so many and great blessings are deriued vnto vs I may not omit to mention some few which are most eminent commending the rest to your priuate Religious consideration The first is our long tranquility and happie peace with all the blessings and blessed fruites of peace A blessing which God began to bestow on this land at the ioyful entrance of our late Soueraigne QVEENE ELIZABETH whose Sacred spirite doth now rest and raigne with the Lord but her memory shall bee blessed and eternized in the world for euer when all those venomous and Viperous tongues set on fire by hell which now in vaine bark against her and seeke to staine her spotlesse honour shall rot and be euen as the dung vpon the earth Hauing enioyed long and happy peace vnder her long and happy raigne it was expected by the Agents and vassals of Antichrist that the day which ended her life should haue ended all our comforts and beene to vs a dismall day a day of murthers and massacres a day of warres of tumult and of vtter desolation one of their owne false Prophets with a lying spirit in his mouth foretelling of that day Catholici quidem dimicabunt at that day they will fight it out indeed Behold hee that sits in heauen laught them to scorne the Lorde had them in derision Himselfe placed in his owne Throne after Dauid Saloman A man of rest and peace sor God hath giuen him and in him to vs rest and peace from all his and our Enemies round about And loe this is now more then the fiftieth yeare wherein the people of this lande in abundance of peac●… sat as the Prophet saieth Euery man vnder his owne Vine and vnder his owne fig-tree without danger Such so long and so happy peace neuer did our Fathers nor Ancestors see before vs in this Land nor haue any of all the Nations and neighbour-kingdomes enioyed the like who in the meane time haue beene wearied and wasted either with forraigne or with intestine warre Yea and this very day which they had cruelly designed to weeping mourning and lamentation God by the happy meanes of our SALOMON hath turned it as we all now see to a day of mirth and melodie a day offeasting singing and reioycing a day of praise and thankesgiuing to his blessed name which be therefore magnified and praised and blessed for euermore A second blessing which vnder our SALOMON this whole Empire enioyeth is the sincere profession of Gods holy truth the blessed continuance yea the establishment also ther●…of among vs. The extinguishing of this most glorious light hath bin often wished by most malicious and diuellish deuises attempted and at the chaunge of our late Soueraigne was vndoubtedly expected But the wisedome of our SALOMON knowing that Piety and Religion is the surest prop to a kingdome like Constantine the great made it his first care by his most Religious Edicts and Lawes to establish Gods truth and true worship in the land Assuring further protesting his ardent zeale for euer to vphold and maintain the same and that so often in so many Honourable and publicke Assemblies with such vehemency of speech in so many Learned and Diuine writings published to the view of the world with so Religious and royall promises nor this onely for himselfe but in assured hope also of the most

happy braunches of that most happy Vine that now Blessed bee God that cursing Balaam and his cursed Priests of Baal which ere this hoped and vaunted in their hopes to haue seene Baal or Moloch or the Queene of heauen and the whole hoast thereof Nay the very abhomination of desolation set vp in our Temples do now gnash their teeth at this our felicity and their hearts doe euen languish and faint and pine away to see the truth o●… God so sincerely professed so constantly maintained both by King and people so assuredly setled and as we may iustly hope and do hartily pray euen for euer established in this Land The greatnesse and indeed the happinesse of this blessing my tongue cannot possiblie expresse vnto you nor can our s●…allow hearts sufficiently conceiue thereof We neuer saw those Marian and bloudy dayes wherein for the people of God to haue beene acquainted with the Gospell and word of God was Haeresie not to haue falne down before the Calfe and adored the Beast was no lesse then fire and Faggot and what else the rage and furie of that beast could adde vnto it We neuer felt nor knew those Antechristian and more then barbarous Inquisitions to the tyranny and vnexpressable torments whereof the Bull of Phalar●…s the Alter of Busiris and those primitiue persecutions vnder Heathen Tyrants were almost but Ludus iocus Death it selfe euen a pleasure to the rage of that beast which needs not learne of Caligula I●…a feri vt sentiat se mori torment them so that they may sensibly feele death and yet not die And yet all this is as nothing to their spirituall bondage They may not buy nor sell nor liue nor breath vnlesse they receiue the marke of the beast They may not teach ought they may not beleeue ought no not so much as the Scriptures to bee the word of God no not that there is a God vnlesse the Beast say so and what soeuer the Beast saith that without all scruple must be receiued as an Oracle of God and an vndoubted Article of their Faith Consider but in one point what themselues doe teach and professe concerning Rome which is the Sea of that Beast They cannot indure to heare it called the seate of Antichrist but yet they willingly professe and foundly proue Rome to be that Babylon whereof S. Iohn prophesieth that very Babylon I say which is the Mother of whoredomes and abhominations of the earth which hath made all Nations drink of the wine of her fornications and her selfe is drunk with the bloud of the Saints and Martyrs whose destruction and vtter desolation is fore-shewed by the Apostle Thus much themselues professe and prooue concerning Rome Now though some of them very childishly indeed haue supposed onely the old and Heathnish Rome to bee meant thereby yet who fo pleaseth to read Ribera the Iesuite in his Commentarie vpon the 14. of the Reuelation shall see him by many euident and vndeniable demonstrations declare and proue first Rome to be that very Babylon where of Saint Iohn speaketh and secondly euen that Rome to be Babylon which shall remaine neere vnto the end of the world Of his large Treatise let mee alledge some few wordes of his Quoniam dubium non est because saith he there is no doubt but that Babylon is the very shop and Store-house of al Idolatry and of all wickednesse If we haue already proued as before he had Rome to be Babylon dubitari non potest quin Roma prope finem saeculi haec omnia habitura sit it cannot be doubted but that Rome toward the end of the world shall leaue all these to wit all Idolatries and all abhominations And againe that Rome shall be burned and consumed with a mighty fire not onely for her old sinnes when it was Heathnish but for those also which in the last times it shall commit Ad●…o perspicue cognoscimus We know it saith he so euidently by the words of this Reu●…lation Vi ne stultis●…imus quidem negare possit that the veriest foole cannot deny it And yet their great Cardinall Bellarmine and the Rhemistes blush not to denie it whose sentence and doome their owne Iesuite hath as you see pronounced And then citing the words of the Apostle Babylon the great Citty is falne which hath made all Nations drinke of her fornications hee addes Haec qui leget who so reades these things may thinke them to be spoken of those who liued before S. Ioha or in his time and this is true but they are also spoken of those qui extremo mundi tempore 〈◊〉 cum ea fornicabuntur who shall liue at Rome in the last time of the worlde and commit fornication with her Whereof hee giues a cleare proofe out of the Apostle The Marchants and louers of Babylon that is of Rome shall weepe and waile and say Alas alas the great Citty in one houre is made desolate Vtrum illi lugebunt whether saith Ribera shal they lament thus which are dead a thousand yeares since and more An qui tunc viuent et videbunt fumum incendij eius Or they who shall then liue when Rome is consumed and shall see the smoake of her fire Ex quo manifeste p●…rspicitur by which it is manifestly perspicuous that the sinnes which Rome shall perpetrate in the last times shall bee altogether like those which it committed vnder the Heathen Emp●…rors that is as himselfe expoundeth it there shall bee then in Rome Summa Idolatriae omnis omnium peccatorum licentia the greatest licence or allowance of all Idolatry and of all sinnes and so turned into a very sinke of nefarious mischiefes Thus writes their owne Iesuite Ribera Seeing then it is not Rome Heathnish which many hundreds of yeares since is out of date but that Rome which as yet is to fal and to be burned with fire which shall remaine neare to the end of the world as Ribera truly doth demonstrate which the spirit of God calleth Babylon whose eternall destruction is foreshewed by the Lord Seeing againe as Bellarmine of purpose proueth and saieth that it is Pia et probabilissima sententia a pious and most probable sentence that Peters chaire cannot be seperated or remoued from Rome and that therefore the Roman Church euen the particular Church of Rome absolute Non possit 〈◊〉 nec deficere absolutely cannot erre not faile nor cease but Rome shall continue Christian yea Popish professing their present Popish Faith vnto the very end and destruction thereof which by the calculation of this worthy Prognosticator must precisely fall out within three yeares and an halfe of the end of the worlde It is hence euidently and ineuitably consequent that the present Popish Rome professing their present Popish Faith from which as the Cardinall saith it shall neuer
