If
I
forget
thee
O
Ierusalem
,
let
my
right
hand
forget
her
cunning

THe
lamentations
of
David
were
as
dolefull
as
plentifull
for
Ionathan
,
and
Absolon
,
for
his
friend
and
for
his
sonne
;
yet
more
for
his
friende
then
for
his
sonne
,
because
Absolon
his
sonne
was
his
foe
,
but
Ionathan
his
foes
sonne
,
was
his
friend
.
But
neither
for
friend
or
sonne
,
is
he
so
passionate
,
as
for
Ierusalem
:
all
the
floudgates
&
cataracts
of
affections
empt
themselues
vpon
this
subiect
.
His
passions
those
internall
acts
and
operations
of
the
soule
,
linked
in
that
inviolable
league
of
loue
,
with
the
ioy
of
the
earth
Ierusalem
,
vrged
him
so
farre
,
that
foreseeing
the
storme
,
though
he
lived
in
a
sunneshine
,
affection
enflamed
his
heart
,
and
his
heart
resolved
into
incessant
teares
:
he
smarteth
though
vntouched
,
Lyr.
Carth
Ahulensi●
,
almost
all
the
Fathers
that
interpret
the
Psalmes
iudge
this
to
be
Davids
.
and
being
vnhurt
lamenteth
,
not
his
owne
case
,
but
Ierusalem
Calamity
.
And
in
three
Psalmes
,
as
Lyra
and
Carth●sian
teach
,
he
deploreth
,
the
threefold
sacking
&
ransacking
of
Ierusalem
▪
which
was
to
be
performed
by
those
Nymrods
of
the
earth
,
that
which
he
foresaw
last
he
lamenteth
first
:
destruction
by
the
Romans
,
whervpon
his
74.
Psal.
O
God
why
art
thou
absent
from
vs
so
long
,
O
think
vpon
thy
congregation
,
thinke
vpon
the
tribe
of
thine
inheritance
;
deliver
not
the
soule
of
thy
turtle
doue
to
the
multitude
of
the
enimies
:
as
also
that
former
desolation
by
that
plague
of
men
&
Scourge
of
heaven
Antiochus
which
occasioned
the
79.
Psalme
,
O
God
the
heathen
are
come
into
thy
possession
,
thy
holy
temple
haue
they
defiled
&
made
Ierusalem
a
heape
of
stones
:
and
before
either
of
those
the
captivity
of
Babylon
by
Nabuchadonosor
,
that
thistle
which
burned
vp
the
Cedars
of
Libanus
,
which
occasioned
this
sorrowfull
Psalme
,
the
embleme
of
their
sighes
and
summe
of
the
sorrow
of
that
desolation
.
The
first
miracle
done
in

old
Testament
is
in
the
1.
of

The
first
miracle
in
the
new
Testament
is
the
same
,
Spiritus
Domini
ferebatur
super
aquas
,
The
spirit
of
God
moved
on
the
waters
Ioh.
2.
when
our
Saviour
turned
the
water
into
wine
:
I
say
not
that
there
is
a
miracle
here
,
but
sure
I
am
,
Spiritus
Domini
ferebatur
super
aquas
,
the
spirit
of
God
,
by
the
spirit
of
Prophecie
,
was
with
the
Prophet
when
he
sate
by
these
waters
of
Babylon
,
describing
&
deploring
Edoms
cruelty
,
Israels
misery
.
Ezechiel
received
his
prophecie
by
the
river
of
Cobar
,
Daniel
by
the
river
Tigris
,
Iohn
Baptist
by
the
river
Iordane
:
but
by
the
waters
of
Babylon
rivers
of
confusion
and
desolation
our
Prophet
seateth
himselfe
,
and
these
rivers
be
rather
of
oile
than
water
,
they
increase
the
flame
of
his
affection
,
&
rather
nourish
then
diminish
his
griefe
:
his
eies
are
as
those
in
the
Canticles
like
the
eies
of
Doues
on
the
rivers
of
waters
,
his
eies
like
the
eies
of
Doues
,
and
his
voice
like
the
voice
of
a
Doue
,
Turtur
non
canit
sed
gemit
,
saith
Isidor
:
the
Doue
was
sent
out
by
Noah
&
was
a
messenger
of
Comfort
in
returning
in
those
waters
,
the
Doue
came
down
vpon
our
Saviour
&
was
a
messenger
of
ioy
in
descending
into
those
waters
,
but
the
waters
of
Babylon
haue
no
Doue
neere
them
but
David
,
and
my
text
is
the
voice
of
that
Turtle
heard
in
that
land
,
If
I
forget
thee
O
Ierusalem
,
then
let
my
right
hande
forget

1.
The

The

,
the

:
Thee

Thirdly

his

the
first
a
fervent

vehement
vow

holy
for

harty

The
second
the
most
holy
place

most

the
Parallel
of
lost
Paradise
,
and
figure
of
the
hope

a
resemblance
of
every
faithfull
mans
soule
,
&
the
representation
of
the
militant
&
triumphant
Church
.
The
third
a
powerfull
and
faithfull
confirmation
of
the
Prophets
profession
and
patheticall
resolution

my
right

And
now
Ho:
Reverend
,
all
beloued
,
lend
your
eares
to
that
subiect
,
to
which
David
the
type
of
Christ
,
and
Christ
the
sonne
of
David
lent
their
teares
.
Babylon
hath
friends

where
,
Ierusalem

,
I

expecteth
that

but

Acuanus

Acuanus
in

I
see
your
consent
by
your
silence
,
and
hope
your
faithfulnesse
will
never
entertaine
forgetfulnesse
,
especially
of
goodnesse
:
which
profession
,
was
Davids
practise
and
my
first
part
.
Forgetfulnesse
,
1.
Part.
Bon.
in
Psal.
119.
by
the
schooles
is
defined
to
be
Memoriae
lubricatio
,
and
so
Bonaventure
speakes
on
the
119.
Psalme
,
it
is
a
slippery
inconstancy
of
the
memory
whereby
the
best
part
of
the
minde
,
the
vnderstanding
can
neither
fitly
receaue
,
nor
faithfully
retaine
those
species
which
are
represented
to
it
.
It
is
like
to
that
swift
Kishon
which
swept
Sisera's
souldiers
away
,
it
is
a
precipitate
torrent
,
the
obliterating
,
and
expunging
of
knowledge
,
the
very
index
expurgatorius
of
the
vnderstanding
,
the
cloud
of
the
minde
,
and
ecclypse
of
the
memorie
.
The
fathers
distinguish
it
into
two
parts
:
first
a
vsefull
and
laudable
:
second
an
hatefull
and
damnable
forgetfulnesse
.
Bernard
in
Cant.
Bernard
obserueth
that
the
name
Manasses
signifieth
forgetfulnesse
,
and
as
the
tribe
of
Manasses
dwelt
part
on
the
one
side
,
part
on
the
other
side
Iordan
,
nātotus
Manasses
Iordanem
non
transiit
,
so
there
is
a
forgetfulnesse
which
stayeth
from
passing
Iordan
,
&
another
forgetfulnes
which
leadeth
through
Iordan
,
to
the
land
of
Canaan
.
Jt
is
a
wonder
that
Manasses
should
bee
the
father
of
a
Tribe
:
an
Egyptian
bare
him
,
Pharaohs
Court
was
the
place
of
his
breeding
,
neither
Nurse
nor
Mother
could
giue
benedictionem
patriae
:
when
he
came
for
Iacobs
blessing
Ioseph
the
father
led
him
by
the
left
hand
,
and
Iacob
the
grand-father
laid
his
left
hand
vpon
him
,
neither
father
,
nor
grand-father
gaue
him
benedictionem
dextrae
,
the
blessing
of
the
right
hand
.
When
hee
came
to
tearme
of
inheritance
,
the
tribe
was
divided
,
Iordan
divided
them
,
halfe
on
the
one
side
,
Spedi
geneal
.
ante
Biblia
.
the
other
on
the
other
,
no
tribe
so
devided
as
Manasses
,
neither
had
benedictionem
terrae
.
Manasses
was
but
nephew
to
the
Tribes
,
&
lost
his
birth-right
as
Esau
did
.
Gedeon
was
of
this
tribe
,
whose
sonnes
were
all
slaine
,
Zelophehad
of
this
tribe
,
who
had
no
sonnes
but
daughters
.
Many
monuments
of
orbitancy
,
of
defection
,
and
oblivion
in
this
tribe
;
and
yet
many
Princes
,
many
Prophets
,
were
of
it
.
I
follow
St
Bernard
his
allusion
,
that
Manasses
the
eldest
sonne
of
Ioseph
,
should
bee
forgetfulnesse
,
Bernard
.
It
is
much
,
Ioseph
was
now
a
Prince
in
Egypt
,
who
had
bin
a
prisoner
in
Egypt
,
Ioseph
whose
feete
they
hurt
in
the
stockes
,
that
the
yron
entred
into
his
soule
,
Ioseph
from
the
state
of
a
Prisoner
to
be
a
Prince
,
his
first
fruit
to
be
forgetfulnes
,
it
is
very
much
.
Adams
first
fruit
Cain
to
be
a
murderer
,
Iacobs
first
fruit
Reuben
,
to
be
incestuous
;
Aarons
first
fruit
Nadab
,
to
be
contumacious
;
Davids
first
fruit
Ammon
,
to
bee
adulterous
;
Salomons
first
fruit
Rhehoboam
,
to
be
Idolatrous
;
sheweth
,
that
these
holy
men
did
not
offer
their
firsts
fruits
,
their
eldest
sonnes
vnto
God
:
but
Ioseph
almost
the
lest
and
youngest
of
his
brethren
,
saued
from
the
pit
,
saued
from
the
prison
,
now
a
Prince
in
Egypt
,
and
Manasses
,
forgetfulnesse
,
his
first
sonne
,
enforceth
that
all
that
are
dignified
&
magnified
,
are
most
ready
to
forget
the
state
,
from
whence
God
hath
brought
them
.
They
are
the
sons
of
Ioseph
,
not
of
Iacob
;
he
wanne
by
yeelding
,
and
was
honoured
by
his
halting
,
by
his
humbling
saith
Chrysostome
,
the
lower
he
stoups
to
the
earth
,
the
neerer
,
the
better
his
advantage
for
this
blessing

It
is
the
duty
of
a

to
remember
,
never

,
that
his
God
hath
bestowed
vpon
him
.

how

Tully
compares
Lucullus
and
Hortensius
to gither
,
both
of
wonderful
memories
,
but
preferreth
Lucullus
before
Hortensius
,
because
hee
remembred
matters
,
the
other
but
words
.
But
the
excellentest
obtect
of
all
others
,
either
for
the
memory
to
account
,
or
for
any
part
of
the
soule
to
conceiue
,
is
the
meditations
of
the
Lords
blessings
.
Happy
is
he
that
maketh
a
custome
house
in
his
soule
in
this
kind
,
that
setteth
downe
all
the
blessings
of
God
that
came
into
his

,
that
remembreth
the
Lord
,
as
he
hath
remembred

,
that
nameth
them

as
God

names
:
and
though
he
can
not
in
that
number
and
order
,
that
God
hath
bestowed
them
on
him
,
because
they
be

In
this
great

honorable
assembly
now
we
are
all
met
,
for
cause
of
reioicing
and
comfort
wee
are
hereby
remembred
,
what
God
hath
done
for
vs

the
time
hee
made
vs
,
that
he
hath
created
vs
out

put

into

not

why
gaue
I
not

came

did

prevent

or
the
breasts
that
I
might
not
sucke
?
we
may
aske
in
a
thankfull
awfull
feare
,
as
he
asked
in
a
wilfull
wofull
fury
.
The
Lord
hath
nursed
vs
vp
in
a
civill
and
well
manerd
country
,
hath
redeemed
vs
with
the
blood
of
his
Sonne
,
visited
vs
with
the
light
of
his
gospell
,
iustified
vs
with
the
power
of
his
grace
,
&
filled
our
garners
with
store
,
&
our
baskets
with
increase
,
and
hath
raised
vp
many
of
vs
,
when
wee
were
lowly
in
our
owne
eies
,
and
hath
prevented
vs
with
the
blessing
of
good
things
.
Who
so
is
wise
will
ponder
these
things
,
and
never
forget
the
loving
kindnesse
of
the
Lord
.
But
alas
!
we
are
not
more
vnable
,
to
helpe
our selues
than
vnapt
to
acknowledge
the
help
of
God

Criticall
Sceptick

tell

this
is
too
popular
too
vulgar

argument

Many
glorious
things
are
spoken
of
thee
thou
city
of
God
,
saith
the
Psalmist
.
Ierusalem
was
the
Elect
city
of
God
,
Psal.
holy
and
most
glorious
,
Villalpand
.
in
Ezekiel
.
built
vpon
the
holy
mountaines
,
this
exceeding
all
other
cities
,
as
their
Temple
all
other
buildings
.
It
was
situated
in
the
midst
of
the
world
,
and
by
rude
and
polite
,
divine
and
prophane
authors
stiled
the
center
of
the
earth
,
and
the
midst
of
all
nations
.
Strabo
thinks
that
Moyses
built
it
,
but
that
Scripture
contradictes
:
but
Scripture
is
plaine
that
Iacob
dwelt
there
,
Gen.
33.18
.
It
was
built
,
Gen.

.
as
Iosephus
recordeth
two
thousand
twenty
&
three
yeares
after
the
creation
.
Melchesedech
was
the
first
founder
and
king
of
it
50
yeares
,
&
called
it
Salem
,
which
as
some
think
,
is
that
which
is
by
Homer
called
Solyma
.
Let
,
in
Psal.
The
Iebusites
,
Cananites
possessed
it
eight

,
then
David
rooted
them

and

city
continued
in

,
as

by
Nabuchadonosor
that
scourge
of
heaven
,
which
fatal
,
though
not
finall
,
desolation
was
foreseen
in
this
Psal.
The
originall
is
Ieruschalaijm
in
the
duall
number
,
for
there
were
two
cities
,
Salem
and
Syon
,

Iudah
dwelt
in
the
one
the
great
and
kingly
tribe
,
Beniamin
in
the
other
,
the
least
and
youngest
tribe
.
It
was
never
perfect
til
Solomons
time
,
for
Melchisedech
was
their
King
,
but
wanted
succession
;
then
the
Iebusits
invaded
,
and
possessed
it
,
Ioshuah
sets
against
the
Iebusites
,
kills
their
king
,
but
obtaines
not
the
Castel
,
the
fort
of
Syon
;
David
conquereth
them
,
and
obtaineth
the
Castell
.
Yet
there
was
no
Temple
al
this
time
.
A
praefiguration
of
the
Temple
there
was
long
before
.
Abraham
in
the
2
thousand
and
twentie
yeare
of
the
world
built
an
altar
here
,
on
the
mount
Moriah
,
but
sacrificed
not
Isaac
,
for
which
he
built
the
altar
.
David
about
the
two
thousand
eight
hundred
yeare
of
the
world
built
an
altar
,
and
sacrificed
on
the
same
mount
,
but
the
altar
had
no
Temple
.
After
this
Solomon
built
the
Temple
,
and
the
altars
in
the
Temple
,
and
offred
20
thousand
Oxen
,
and
a
hundred
and
twentie
thousand
sheep
.
Yet
the
Temple
was
not
perfect
,
there
lacketh
the
Priest
.
The
Priest
himselfe
was
crucified
,
the
sacrificer
sacrificed
:
&
where
Adam
was
buried
,
as
Epiphanius
testifieth
,
Epiphanius
apud
Kemnitium
de
Traditio
.
there
was
Christ
on
the
edge
of
Moriah
on
Calvary
crucified
.
Now
the
citie
is
perfitted
and
consummated
,
but
here
consummatio
consumptio
est
.
Ierusalem
in
her
infancy
was
in
a
kind
of
innocency
,

against

al

that

that

so
the

compassed

Ierusalem
could
not
be
conquered
from
the

by

,
nor
the

redeemed
from

on

the

Moriah
figureth
the

of

:
both
had
a
part
in
Ierusalem
,
both
belong
to

:
Ierusalem
built
on
the

,
had
the
sun
most
orient
shining
therein
,
the

hath
the
sonne
of
righteousnesse
,
most
gloriously
illuminating
it
:
Ierusalem
,
the
vision
of
peace
,
the
Church
the
family
of
peace
:
All
the
Tribes
came
to
Ierusalem
,
all

come
vnto
the
Church
:
in
Ierusalem
was
the
continual
worship
of
God
,
in
the
Church
the
continued
service
of
God
:
here
he
was
more
particularly

not

hee
