Behold
I
have
this
day
set
thee
over
the
Nations
,
and
over
the
Kingdomes
;
to
Root
out
,
and
to
pull
down
,
to
destroy
and
throw
down
,
to
build
and
to
plant
.
DId
not
the
solemne
comming
up
of
your
Tribes
to
this
Place
,
and
the
publike
preparation
loudly
speake
that
Festivall
we
meet
to
celebrate
;
the
very
reading
of
this
Text
,
were
Trumpet
enough
to
proclaime
the
cause
of
your
addresse
and
my
appearing
here
.
I
may
begin
my
Sermon
as
David
his
Psalme
:
I
speake
of
the
things
which
I
have
made
touching
the
King
:
Psal.
45.1
.
and
the
Hodiè
in
the
Text
applies
my
speech
to
the
season
.
That
God
who
This
Day
set
Him
over
us
warrants
the
occasion
,
and
this
Scripture
gives
me
matter
.
The
words
were
spoken
immediately
to
the
Prophet
Jeremy
,
a
Sonne
of
Oyle
by
his
Office
,
though
not
of
him
but
improperly
and
figuratively
.

the
End
or
Exercise
of
His
Power

which
is
twofold
:
-
1.
Destructive
,
to

,
and
to
pull

to
Destroy

-

To

and
to

The
Ecce
here
prefixt
shall
serve
as
an
Herald
to
usher
in
my
Discourse
and
Application
.
Behold
.
Behold
.
And
sure
an
Argument
wherein
God
and
the
King
are
interessed
will
deserve
an
Ecce
.
Both
these
Persons
meet
in
the
Text
,
yet
in
that
order
,
that
the
King
may
know
his
Dependance
upon
God
,
and
the
People
their
obedience
to
the
King
,
even
for
this
reason
,
because
God
hath
set
him
over
them
▪
Where
He
comes
priviledged
by
such
an
Author
,
and
vested
with
such
Authori●y
,
He
will
deserve
not
an
Ecce
alone
,
but
an
Osanna
too
,
Blessed
be
hee
that
commeth
in
the
Name
of
the

For

the
Lord

I
have
set
.
Though
you
finde
no
Name
subscribed
,
the
Deed
sufficiently
declares
the
Author
.
And
where
the
Act
is
Eloquent
,
other
denominations
are
of
little
use
.
Men
are
divided
by
their
Tribes
,
and
distinguished
by
their
Titles
;
If
God
have
any
Name
,
it
is
to
be
read
in
his
Attributes
;
the
first
of
which
is
His
Power
,
and
the
effect
of
that
Power
;
Ego
Constitui
,
I
have
set
thee
up
.

Government
of

is

and
when

is

He
will

since
't
is
not
so
much
,
By
the
Grace
of
God
,
as
by
the
favour
and
Leave
of
the
People
.
It
was
ignorance
of
the
first
Cause
,
which
threw
a
Myst
of
blindnesse
upon
the
World
;
which
Myst
for
all
the
Beames
of
Knowledge
that
have
shone
upon
it
,
never
since
could
cleare
up
.
For
it
is
a
permanent
Error
in
man-kind
to
mistake
the
Instruments
,
and
Secondary
Agents
in
Gods
purposes
,
for
the
Maine
Efficient
.
It
is
so
in
this
,
where
because
in
the
setling

,
some
Intermediate
Actors
are
used
,
many
ascribe

But
to
what
meanes
soever
they

,
were

,
't
is
God
who
gives
the
Title
to
Kingdomes
by
the
First
,
and
He
also
directs
and
permits
it
by
the
Last
.
When
the
Israelites
desired
a
King
,
they
asked
him
of
God
,
who
first
designed
Him
,
and
by
a
Law
never
to
be
reversed
,
reserved
the
Choice
as
a
Prerogative
peculiar

the

so
that
if
he

in
by
any
other
way
,
the
Act
is
quarrell'd
by
the
Prophet
,
and
disclaimed
by
God

,
They
have
set
up
a

,
but
not

Let

People
cast
themselves
down
before

lift

Who
is
this

If
any
enquire

he

hath
prostrated

by
whom
he
calmeth
the
uproare
of

And
strivings
of
the
people
;

He
can
be
no
other
then
the
Man
whom
the
King
of
Kings
was
pleased
to
honour
above
all
the
rest
.
He
may
be
greater
then
all
the
Rulers
of
the
Earth
,
the
Lord
Christ
,
but
lesse
He
cannot
be
then

He
may
well
be
that
Lord
unto
whom
the
Lord
said
,
Psal.

.
sit
Thou
on
my
right
hand
,
untill
I
make
thine
enemies
thy
foot-stoole

(
for
the

naturally
beares
it
)
but
meaner
He
cannot
be
,
then
the
Man
of
Gods
right
hand
,
Psal.
80.17
.
whom
he
hath
set
up
and
made
so
strong
for
Himself
&
for
His
purposes
.
It
was
an
Argument
of
Gods
mercy
and
care
of
the
World
,
that
though
the
Apostacy
of
Mankind
deserved
in
justice
a
finall
d●ssolu●ion
whereby
all
things
might
have
reverted
into
their
first
Chaos
,
yet
in
the
very
Act
of
His
displeasure
when
He
dissipated
those
who
in
the
building
of
Babel
cast
up
a
Mound
against
Heaven
,
and
raised
a
worke
to
assault
Him
in
his
Throne
,
He
appointed
a
Ruler
over
every
People
,

He
divided

to

why
should
there
be

then
one
to

of

have
set
thee
over

mens
particular

distorted
the

not

the
Rack
of

straine
it

authorize
an

others

from

For

,
I
deny

But
it

over

;
and
set
the
Nations
,
that
is
,
the
people
,
above
Him
whom
God
hath
set
over
them
.
I
have
set
Thee
over
Nations
and
Kingdomes
.
Application
I
have
done
with
the
Text
,
and
should
here
end
.
But
your
expectation
,
and
the
duty
I
owe
to
this
Day
,
require
some
just
Commemoration
from
me
.
Here
therefore
my
Eccè
turns
to
you
,
who
in
your
relation
to
the
Text
are
concerned
with
the
King
.
If
I
have
hitherto
spoken
of
a
King
,
is
he
King
for
his
own
sake
or
for
yours
?
No
,
the
Text
tels
,
he
is
Super
vos
constitutus
,
He
is
set
over
you
.
As
God
then
hath
given
him
the
Kingdome
,
so
he
hath
given
you
the
King
,
Vobis
datus
est
;
and
in
that
gift
,
as
he
hath
Crowned
the
King
with
a
Crown
of
Gold
,
he
hath
Crowned
you
with
a
Garland
of
Peace
.
There
was
a
time
,
when
there
was
no
King
in
Israel
:
Judg.
17.6
.
would
you
know
the
Character
of
that
time
?
Every
man
did
what
was
good
in
his
own
eyes
.
No
Law
then
but
Lust
and
Will
the
Rule
of
each
ones
Actions
:
Might
,
arm'd
with
injury
and
violence
,
made
the
weaker
Subjects
,
and
outrage
was
authorised
by
the
power
of
the
Actour
.
Think
,
how
beyond
all
expression
miserable
your
case
were
,
should
the
anger
of
God
cause
those
times
to
revert
upon
you
.
When
barbarous
Rapes
and
ho●rid
Massacres
,
(
cries
wherewith
your
eares
have
never
been
acquainted
)
should
sound
in
every
corner
of
your
City
.
Here
then
begin
your
thanks
to
God
,
that
to
prevent
all
these
mischiefes
,
He
hath
given
you
a
King
.
And
now
,
as
God
once
said
to
Moses
in
the
top
of
Mount
Pisgah
,
let
me
say
to
you
,
Deut.
3.27
.
Lift
up
your
eyes
Westward
,
and
Northward
,
and
Southward
,
and
Eastward
.
Look
upon
any
other
parts
of
the
World
which
are
governed
without
a
King
;
or
where
there
is
a
King
,
yet
so
abridgd
in
his
Authority
that
He
is
,
as
it
were
in
Wardship
to
a
Senate
or
some
such
Supervisors
,
in
Saint
Pauls
phrase
Vnder
Tutours
and
Governours
,
Gal.
4.2
.
and
from
the
manifest
inconveniences
which
Plurality
of
Rulers
hath
produced
in
the
World
(
for
They
are
a
punishment
to
a
Land
)
learn
to
prize
your
own
happinesse
under
one
Ruler
,
Prov.
28.2

and
to
pray
that
those
may
never
be
Masters
of
their
will
,
who
would
subject
either
Him
or
you
to
then
Tumultuous
Parity
.
Look
forth
yet
once
more
upon
Kingdomes
governed
by
formes
Monarchall
and
Absolute
as
yours
;
and
think
whether
Talem
Constituit
;
whither
God
hath
set
such
a
one
over
them
as
over
you
.
Whether
the
People
(
in
Davids
words
)
are
in
such
a
case
as
you
,
Psal.
145.15
free
to
the
exercise
of
true
Religion
,
and
quietly
enjoying
every
man
his
own
;
and
from
these
steps
you
will
finde
cause
abundant
to
raise
the
measure
and
to
multiply
the
acts
of
your
thankesgiving
to
Almighty
God
,
and
to
say
,
He
hath
not
dealt
so
with
any
other
Nation
.
Psal.
147.20
When
in
the
gratefull
apprehension
of
these
blessings
,
you
have
applied
unto
your selves
what
I
have
now
said
,
I
shall
most
properly
apply
all
other
circumstances
of
this
Text
,
both
to
the
Day
,
and
to
the
Person
in
whose
honour
it
is
solemnized
.
I
may
indeed
justly
take
up
the
words
of
our
Saviour
in
the
Gospell
,
Luk.
4.21
.
This
day
is
this
Scripture
fulfilled
in
your
eares
.
Fifteene
yeares
are
now
fully
run
out
since
God
who
Taketh
away
,
and
setteth
up
Kings
,
Dan.
2.21
.
did
with
one
hand
both
take
from
us
and
restore
.
He
translated
one
King
into
his
own
Kingdome
,
&
established
another
upon
this
Throne
.
Thus
Dominus
dedit
,
Job
1.21
.
Dominus
abstulit
.
The
Lord
gave
,
and
the
Lord
tooke
away
,
Blessed
be
the
Name
of
the
Lord
.
This
very
day
was
our
Skie
darkned
,
and
by
the
setting
of
a
Sunne
ever
Glorious
and
Memorable
in
his
Race
,
an
unnaturall
mid-night
threatned
us
even
at
Noone
day
,
for
then
He
fell
;
yet
I
may
truely
say
,
Sol
occubuit
,
nox
nulla
secuta
est
:
though
that
Light
was
taken
from
our
eyes
,
no
night
ensued
;
for
a
New
Light
kindled
out
of
His
Ashes
began
to
shine
upon
us
,
and
that
Stella
de
Jacob
in
a
good
sense
,
That
Starre
of
Jacob
,
who
was
risen
long
before
,
and
(
though
at
some
distance
)
sparkled
in
our
hopes
,
now
increasing
in
the
proportion
of
his
light
,
appeared
as
he
drew
neere
a
perfect
Sunne
,
in
our
Zodiack
.
Where
ever
since
He
hath
happily
runne
;
and
may
he
there
long
continue
in
Himself
,
and
longer
in
His
Posterity
,
even
whilst
the
Sunne
and
Moon
in
the
Firmament
continue
their
Motion
and
Light
.
That
so
this
Hodiè
in
my
Text
may
beare
towards
Him
some
part
of
that
signification
which
it
doth
to
Christ
his
Master
,
whose
yesterday
and
to
day
is
for
ever
.
This
day
hath
God
set
Him
up
,
and
Over
Nations
and
Kingdomes
,
literally
so

Those
who
are

define

loose

appeares
to
make

look
like

againe
,
becomes
not
me
to
dispute
.
I
will
rather
pray
that
He
who
is
the
Great
Peace-maker
may
in
his
good
time
close
the
rupture
,
and
as
our
Gracious
Soveraigne
hath
by
all

endeavoured
their
Re-uniting
(
in

So
in

to
their
Obedience
unto
Him
,
They
may
be
rendred
One
with

againe

Onely
this
,
with
much
joy
I
must
take
leave
to
say
;
That
what
ever
else
occasions
the
difference
,
Religion
cannot
be
the
Cause
.

In

I
say
to
you
,
Let
not
any
on
whose
trust
you
relie
,
Those
who
undertake
to
speak
from
God
,
deceive
you
by
perswading
This
to
be
the
Cause

I
appeale
to
their
own
Conscience
,
if
they
dare
be
tryed
by
truth
,
whether
in
any
One
Fundamentall
point
our
Church
hath
shrunk
from
the
Orthodox

fallen
neerer

This
I
say
,
continues
not
varied
from
the
second
Service
Book
of
King
Edward
VI
.
but
in
some
Two
Circumstances
;
One
in
the
Litany
,
where
somewhat
is
left
out
;
Act
for
Uniformiry
of
Common
Prayer
.
the
Other
in
the
Communion
,
where
somewhat
is
added
,
as
the
Act
before
our
own
declares
.
And
therein
,
Those
very
words
,
whose
omission
in
the
last
Printed
Service
Books
occasioned
so
much
Cavill
,
are
justly
the
same
with
King
Edward
the
Sixths
Service
Book
of
the
first
Edition
.
If
any
doubt
the
truth
of
what
I
deliver
,
let
their
own
Eye
resolve
them
.
It
was
St.
Pauls
commendation
of
the
Berans
,
Act.
17·11
.
that
they
took
not
things
upon
trust
,
but
themselves
searched
to
see
if
they
were
so
indeed
.
I
would
faine
commend
their
Example
to
you
,
who
if
you
can
be
content
so
to
do
,
you
wil
neither
be
misperswaded
by
any
who
for
their
own
ends
suggest
apparant
falshoods
,
nor
prejudicate
those
who
contradict
them
.
You
see
the
Latitude
of
the
Kings
Domination
considered
in
the
Subjects
,
Nations
and
Kingdomes
.
Will
you
see
in
what
manner
He
hath
exercised
His
Power
over
Them
?
And
here
I
appeale
to
all
:
Under
what
Kings
Scepter
hath
been
greater
care
taken
to
prevent
Divisions
and
weed
Faction
out
of
the
Church
?
Witnesse
that
Declaration
of
his
Majesty
which
banish'd
those
abstruse
controversies
concerning
Gods
Decrees
of
Election
or
Reprobation
from
the
Pulpit
.
Themes
,
which
onely
filled
the
Hearers
with
scruples
,
and
sent
them
home
with
feares
;
Teaching
by
it
busie
men
to
preach
Christ
as
they
ought
,
not
Themselves
,
by
venting
their
dangerous
wit
or
Spleen
.
Or
when
hath
more
sedulitie
been
used
to
remove
all
scandalous
Rubbish
out
of
the
State
,
which
ill
morality
or
lawlesse
abuse
of
locall
custome
had
contracted
?
When
held
Distributive
Justice
(
which
Plato
terms
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
the
Prop
of
Kingdomes
)
a
more
equall
Ballance
,
to
give
every
man
his
owne
?
Or
when
hath
Criminall
Iustice
been
tempered
with
more
Mercy
?
It
was
a
just
complaint
of
Draco'es
Laws
in
Lacedaemonia
,
that
their
Execution
was
as
bloody
as
their
Character
,
for
they
were
written
in
Bloody
Letters
:
And
the
Romans
lamented
the
cruelty
of
those
Tribunals
where
the
cheape
Proscription
of
Lives
made
the
Judgment
Seate
little
differ
from
a
Shambles
:
Amos
2.6
.
Poore
men
sould
for
shoos
(
so
the
Prophet
.
)
Or
as
the
Turks
to
this
day
sell
heads
,
so
many
for
an
Asper
.
If
there
be
(
as
I
would
hope
otherwise
)
any
such
amongst
us
,
who
make
such
low
account
of
mens
lives
,
that
they
destroy
,
where
they
might
Build
hopes
of
amendment
;
or
Pluck
up
by
the
Root
,
where
they
need
but
pare
the
Leafe
:
If
there
be
any
who
in
discharge
of
such
places
are
governed
more
by
Custome
then
Conscience
,
who
take
dark
Circumstance
and
lame
surmise
for
Evidence
,
rashly
giving
Sentence
,
and
as
precipitately
proceeding
to
Execution
,
Let
their
own
Soules
runne
the
fearefull
hazzard
of
this
Account
.
They
learne
it
not
from
Him
who
placed
them
on
the
Tribunall
,
whose
Sword
hath
seldome
been
wet
with
striking
Offenders
,
and
scarcelie
unsheathed
against
those
who
brought
themselves
within
the
reach
of
His
Coercive
Justice
.
I
may
well
apply
that
of
Seneca
,
By
practising
so
long
upon
his
Patience
,
Eum
docent
esse
crudelem
,
qui
discere
non
potest
,
They
have
whetted
and
provoked
Him
to
a
Severity
,
which
He
hath
been
most
unwilling
to
put
in
Execution
.
Now
for
the
Conservative
part
of
His
Office
,
expressed
in
these
Termes
,
To
Build
,
and
to
Plant
:
whether
you
take
Building
Materially
or
Morally
,
in
both
these
sens●s
hath
He
been
and
still
is
a
Glorious
Builder
.
Nor
will
I
carry
you
farre
off
for
instance
.
As
the
Disciples
to
Christ
concerning
the
Temple
of
Jerusalem
,

let
me
say
to
you
,
{non-Roman}

See
the
Materialls
for
the
re-edifying

should
I
say
nothing
,
the
Timber

cry
,
Et

and

very
stones
speake

Did
any
Eye
within
these
few
yeares
hope
to
behold
this
neglected
Temple
(
like
Sion
in
her
mournfull
widdowhood
sitting
in
the
Dust
)
trimmed
up
like
a
fresh
Bride
?
Her
wrinckled
face
guttered
with
the
teares
of
her
decay
,
and
furrowed
by
the
injurie
of
Time
,
made
smooth
againe
,
Her
ragged
garments
changed
into
costly
robes
.
Need
I
tell
you
who
hath
put
upon
her
,
Beautie
for
Dust
and
Rubbish
,
and
a
face
of
Repaire
for
Ruine
?
Is
it
not
the
zeale
of
our
most
gracious
Jehoash
?
who
hath
not
onely
(
as
King
Iehoash
)
said
,
Goe
out
into

Cities
of

,
and
gather
of
all
Israel
money

to
repaire
the
House
of
God
,
but
set
them
a
pattern
in
His
Own
Munificence
;
Is
it
not
His
zeale
,
and
the
Care
of
his
Pious
Iehoiaeda
the
High
Priest
?
who
hath
faithfully
Stewarded
the
cheerfull
Contributions
of

defect
that
famous

left

their

It
will
be
much
for
your
Honour
that
in

Times
History
may
not
have
cause
to
report
you
men
of
such
narrow
hearts

Close
hands
;
And
let
it
be
your
present
Comfort
,
that
,
like
good
Patriots
for
your
Countries
safety
,
you
have
contributed
to
the
Building
and
Manning
of
those
Wooden
Wals
;
which
unlesse
they
be
able
to
keep
off
an
Enemy
,
You
flatter
your selves
in
vaine
to
thinke
that
yours
at

can
doe
it

Finally
,
for
his
Morall
Building
,
I
may
boldly
affirme
,
That
for
all
the
vertues
requisite
to
the
making
up
of
a
most
compleat
Prince
,
and
the
Example
of
such
a
Life
wherin
the
blackest
fangs
of
detraction
(
though
dared
to
speak
their
worst
)
can
finde
nothing
to
traduce
or
fasten

No

Consult

Chronicles
)

say
no
One
hath
more
fairely
Edified
,
then
He
whom
God
hath
set
over
You.

how
much

And
to

Whether
I
looke
on
his
Oeconomick
Relations
as
Husband
,
Father
,
or
indeed
as
a
good
Man
:
Or
whether
I
mention
his

cleere
Judgement
,
able
to
steere
the
Counsels
,
and
direct
the
most
prudent
Ministers
of
State
in
His
Affaires
:
Or
his
undaunted
Courage
(
for
as
God
hath
given
Him
a
strong
and
Active
Body
,
so
He
hath
matcht
it
with
as
Active
a
Mind
)
not
sparing
to
adventure
His
own
Person
where
the
safety
of
His
People
required
.
And
thus
,
—
Monstrat
tolerare
labores
,
Non
jubet
,
He
hath
not
onely
commanded
others
upon
danger
,
but
lead
them
on
Himself
:
Or
His
excellent
Moderation
and
Patience
,
not
apt
to
be
wrought
into
easie
heate
or
rash
effect
of
Passion
:
Or
the
Humility
of
His
Disposition
made
up
of
Titus
his
Affability
accessible
to
the
meanest
Suitors
who
come
to
solicit
Him
,
and
at
all
times
more
like
a
Father
then
a
Master
to
those
about
Him
:
Or
His
singular
Integrity
,
in
which
He
may
acquite
Himselfe
as
righteous
Samuel
once
did
,

His
Justice
,
not
His
Power
,
the
rule
of
what
He
doth
.
For
Nescit

,
He
will
not
know
the
use
of
his
Authority
,
but
where
Religion
and
Right
make
his
Commands
legitimate
.
Let
me
not
here
omit
the
Regular
distribution
of
his
Time
,
for
his
Exercise
,
for
his
Meales
,
through
the
whole
Course
of
his
Life
never
guilty
of
the
least
intemperance

But
above
all
,
(
that
indeed
which
crownes
the
rest
,
)
The
Regularity
of
his
Devotions
,
used
by
Him
with
such
Reverence
and
Constancy
,
that
He
hath
made
the
Court
Canonicall
by
His
houres

Twise
every
Day
,
and
openly
presenting
Himselfe
in
Gods
Service
,

by

to

before
His

He
that

I
am
not
to
learne
,
that
in
such
Arguments
as
these
,
mens
eares
are
commonly
so
obstructed
with
prejudice
,
Truth
can
hardly
find
Admittance
;
The
supposed
Ends
of
the
Speaker
,
or
flattery
of
the
Object
are
the
ordinary
excuses
to
divert
their
beliefe
.
But
this
must
not
prohibit
me
to
speake
,
nor
should
it
make
you
loth
to
heare
.
I
doe
not
forget
Where
I
am
,
or
Whose
Errand
I
deliver
.
This
is
no
place
to
give
Titles
to
Men
,
but
to
give
Honour
to
God
.
Yet
I
must
tell
you
,
when
there
is
so
much
Justice
in
the
Cause
,
and
so
much
Merit
in
the
Person
,
and
such
an
Opportunity
as
this
to
warrant
,
and
my
Conscience
to
beare
Record
,
that
in
the
Attestation
of
Saint
Paul
,
I
speake
the
truth
in
Christ
,
Rom.
9.1
.
I
lie
not
.
For
't
is
not
Quod
Audivimus
,
but
Quod
vidimus
,
I
take
not
up
on
heare-say
,
my
owne
Attendance
hath
long
and
often
made
me
an
Eye-witnesse
,
and
I
thanke
God
that
I
have
seene
it
.
I
say
,
for
me
on
these
termes
to
be
silent
,
were
to
prevaricate
against
the
Truth
;
and
for
you
not
to
desire
to
heare
it
,
were
to
declare
your selves
most
unthankfull
to
God
,
who
hath
blest
you
with
so
Religious
and
Just
a
King
.
I
might
adde
a
great
deale
more
:
But
as
the
Person
I
speake
of
needs
not
,
so
all
I
can
deliver
,
falls
short
,
and
rather
Darkens
then
Sets
Him
forth
.
I
will
therefore
in
the
last
Place
,
for
all
the
vertues
His
Example
hath
Planted
amongst
you
,
for
His
sincere
endevours
to
continue
(
like
a
true
Nursing
Father
of
His
Church
)
the
Religion
planted
in
It
,
Esa.

.
Exhort
you
to
Pray
,
that
for
our
sins
God
deprive
not
us
too
soone
,
of
so
rich
a
Blessing
,
by
Taking
Him
away
.
For
if
there
be
any
(
as
I
am
farre
from
the
belief
)
who
love
not
to
heare
Him
praised
;
I
hope
they
may
well
like
to
heare
Him
Pray'd
for
.
Pray
therefore
for
the
Life
of
the
King
,

and
of

Pray
for
Him

of
our
future
Peace
;
That
God
will
blesse
Him

Queene

In

But
upon
Himself
,
Let
His
Crown
flourish

O
let
it
long
flourish

And
when
the
sad
Day
comes
wherein
He
must
exchange
This
Kingdome
for
a
Better
;
Let
His
Crown
of
Gold
be
changed
into
a
Crown
of
Glory
