had
raysed
a
leuie
out
of
all

,
to

where
the
Lord
appeared
vnto
Dauid
his

,
a
place
so
called
(

of

,
because
there
was
the

of
the

of

,
which
was
there
as
Oleaster
deriueth

:
or
more
fitly
it
was
so
called
of
seeing
,
because
there
the
Lord
was
seene
of
Abraham
,
when
the
Ramme
was
offered
by
him
in

of

,

of

and

charging
Salomon
to
arise

,
and
the

would
be
with

He
built
this
house
of
Habitation
for
the
Lord
,
a
place
for
his
dwelling
for
euer
:

but
it
was

from

:

all
the
houses
of

,
and
euery
great

house

So
that
there
was
little
hope
euer
to
see
it
restored
againe
:
yet
Cyrus
proclaimed
the
reedefying
of
it
,
restored
the
fiue
thousand
and
foure
hundreth
vessels
of
golde
and
siluer
,
which
Nabucadnezzar
had
put
in
the
house
of
his
gods
,
Cedar
trees
from
Lebanon
to
the
sea
of
Ioppa
.
Yet
againe
it
was
hindered
till
the
second
yeare
of
Darius
,
who
was
so
resolute
for
the
building
thereof
,
that
he
made
this
decree
:
Whosoeuer
shall
alter
this
word
,
let
timber
be
pulled
downe
from
his
house
,
and
being
set
vp
,
let
him
be
hanged
thereon
,
and
let
his
house
be
made
a
dung-hill
for
this
:
And
the
God
that
hath
caused
his
name
to
dwell
there
,
destroy
all
Kings
and
people
,
that
shal
put
to
their
hand
to
alter
and
to
cestroy
this
house
of
God
,
which
is
at
Ierusalem
.
I
Darius
haue
made
a
decree
,
let
it
be
done
with
speed

In
another
respect
this
Temple
was
more
illustrious
then
Salomons
,
In
Christs
presence
in
it
,
and
miracles
,
as
Ierom
and
Austen
thinke
.
Now
hee
graced
the
Feast
of
the
Dedication
at
Ierusalem
.
And
it
was
at
Hierusalem
.
A
Text
well
befitting
the
occasion
of
this
Christian
Assembly
,
met
to
behold
the
Consecrating
and
Dedicating
of
a
little
Temple
vnto
God
,
warranting
the
blessing
and
sanctifying
of
it
,
by
the
Prayers
of
a
Reuerend
Father
of
our
Church
.
I
will
not
follow
the
words
in
an
Allegorie
,
that
Christ
being
a
new-Lawgiuer
,
bringing
a
New
Testament
,
2.

a

A
new
commandement
,
new
Temple
:
to
the
Porch
of
Salomon
in
that
Temple
,
because
as
in
Salomons
time
Peace
was
in
Israel
,
Salomons
Porch
,
I
obserue
onely
two
circumstances
as
the
body
and
soule
of
these
words
.
1
The
lawfulnesse
of
Churches
,
their
dedication
or
consecration
,
the
remembrance
whereof
Christ
abhorred
not
but
frequented
the
annuall
commemoration
of
a
Temples
Dedication
,
euen
in
Winter
,
And
it
was
at
Hierusalem
,
the
Feast
of
the
Dedication
,
and
it
was
Winter
.
2
The
honor
of
Christs
presentation
of
himselfe
especially
in
Temples
then
,
in
Churches
now
.
And
Iesus
walked
in
the
Temple
in
Salomons
Porch
.
The
1
is
for
building
,
repayring
and
dedicating
of
a
Church
,
The
second
is
,
for
the
establishing
,
continuing
,
and
felicity
of
a
Church
.
In
the
first
,
we
haue
Gods
house
prepared
in
a
place
of
vnity
.
In
the
second
,
we
haue
it
frequented
by
the
Author
of
Grace
,
and
Peace
,
and
Mercy
.
In
the
1.
we
haue
Salomons
temple
beautified
and
re-edefied
.
In
the
2.
we
haue
a
greater
then
Salomon
in
it
,
whereby
it
is
exalted
and
honoured
.
Of
which
while
I
shall
speake
,
as
my
sudden
summons
shall
suffer
me
,
scarse
hauing
so
many
houres
warning
for
this
burthen
,
as
there
are
words
in
my
Text
:
Let
me
request
you
all
to
remember
that
speech
of
Saint
Augustine
:
Qui
in
al●●s
habitat
,
humilibus
appropinquat
:
bitter
censures
and
by-thoughts
,
for
the
place
whereon
wee
stand
is
holy
ground
.
Let
mee
desire
you
to
assist
me
with
your
prayers
,
that
what
I
speake
may
bee
to
the
glory
of
his
name
,
and
winning
of
soules
vnto
Christ
,
who
for
this
cause
,
at
the
feast
of
the
Dedication
went
vnto
Hierusalem
,
as
my
first
part
leadeth
me
in
order
.
Hierusalem
was
the
holy
City
,
Hierusalem

Gal.

.
Christ
was
there
crucified
,
dead
,
buried
,
and
thence
he
ascended
.
His
vertue
was
to
bee
diffused
throughout
the
whole
world
,
and
therefore
in
the
midst
and
nauill
of
the
habitable
world
,
hee
shewed
himselfe
most
conspicuously
.
It
was
fitte
for
his
humility
as
to
suffer
the
shamefullest
death
,
Psal

so
not
to
be
ashamed
of
the
most
eminent
place
:
He
tooke
vpon
him
the
forme
of
a
seruant
,
and
therefore
as
he
chose
Bethlehem
for
his
birth
,
so
hee
chose
Ierusalem
for
his
passion
.
He
that
would
not
suffer
a
Prophet
to
perish
out
of
Ierusalem
,
c.
13.33
.
would
suffer
there
himselfe
,
being
the
Prince
of
Prophets
.
He
charged
his
Apostles
not
to
depart
from

Famous
for

which
was

,
as
Dauid
told
old
Barzillai
:
Come
thou
ouer

and
I
will
feede
thee
with
mee
in
Ierusalem
:
solemne
Feastes
,
in

of
the
Passeouer
,
which
was
instituted
in
remembrance
of
the
deliuerance
from
Egypts
bondage
;
of
pentecost
,
a
remembrance
of
the
Law
giuen
at
Mount
Sinai
;
of
the
Feast
of

,
a
remembrance
of
Israels
dwelling
in

,
forty
yeares
in

:
Wee
haue
Christmas

honour
of
Christs
Incarnation

which
Chrysostome
calleth

Metropolis

which
caused

So
that
if
any
question
it
,
Why
doth
one
day
excell
another
,
when
as
all
the
light
of
euery
day
in
the
yeere
is
of
the
sunne
?
It
may
be
answered
:
High
dayes
,
ordinary
dayes
.
Would
wee
know
the
Authors
of
Feasts
to
Iewes
or
Christians
:
By
the
commandement
of
God
himself
in
the
mouth
of
Moses
those
were
ordained
,
Leu.
23.
and
some
others
called
Regular
,
Ordinary
and
vsuall
:
Or
by
the
Will
of
the
Magistrate
,
vpon
some
reasonable
cause
;
yet
no
part
of
Will-worship
,
being
not
contra
Legem
Dei
,
against
the
Law
of
God
;
but
secundum
analogiam
Legis
,
according
to
the
analogie
of
the
Law
,
as
this
feast
of
Dedication
,
that
feast
of
the
14.
and
15.
of
the
moneth
Adar
,
Est
:
9.21
.
and
some
others
.
The
Iewes
not
onely
added
to
the
number
of
the
Feastes
instituted
by
Moses
,
but
augmented
the
solemnity
of
those
feasts
which
Moses
appointed
:
For
whereas
Dies
Calendarum
,
or
Neomeniae
the
first
day
of
the
moneth
,
or
Feast
of
New
Moones
was
appointed
onelie
for
sacrifice
to
God
,
and
not
mentioned
amongst
those
solemne
festiuities
,
yet
the
Iewes
appointed
for
the
encrease
of
the
seruice
of
God
,
that
not
onely
sacrifices
should
bee
offered
in
them
,
but
also
men
should
abstaine
from
all
seruile
labour
,
and
so
make
it
an
Holy-day
,
and
great
solemnity
.
Thus
was
it
in
Dauids
time
:
Blow
vp
the
Trumpet
in
the
new
Moone
,
in
the
time
appointed
on
our
solemn
feast
day
:
Ps.
81.
It
was
celebrious
for
the
benefite
of
gouernment
;
Psal.
81.3
.
Nye
,
de

for
in
the
New-Moone
there
appeared
the
change
of
time
:
and
therefore
was
it
so
vsed
in
Elishaes
time
,
to
whom
when
the
Shunamite
woman
desired
to
goe
for
her
dead
child
;
her
husband
sayd
,
Wherfore
wilt
thou
go

:
It
is
neyther

,
nor

For
the
Feasts
of
Christians
,
Christ
instituted
no
Holy-dayes
in
his
life
time
,
he
abrogated
not
the
law
of
Moses
,
but
obserued
those
Feasts
:
Neyther
did
the
Apostles
till
the
Law
of
Moses
beeing
dead
,
it
might
be
buried
honorably
.
It
was
not
fit
that
Christian
Religion
should
haue
so
many
ceremonies
or
Holy-daies
in
the
Cradle
,
as
it
had
in
the
full
age
of
it
.
Yet
in

festiuities

euery
yeare
:
Hence
is
it
,
that
the
Church
keepeth
those
Holy
dayes
,
which
Antiquity
hath
prescribed
,
that
all
things
bee
done
decently
and
in
order
,
his
owne
pleasure
,
at
his
owne
time
,
after
his
owne
manner
?
Wee
retaine
the
Festiuals
of
Saints
,
because
wee
desire
to
prayse
God
in
his
Saints
,
in
the
same
manner
,
though
not
in
the
same
degree
;
not
for
worship
to
them
,
or
imploring
of
them
,
but
to
worship
the
God
of
Martyrs
and
Saints
;
abstayning
from
lawfull
labour
in
them
,
not
for
superstition
,
in
conscience
to
the
day
,
but
obedience
to
the
Church
:
And
if
it
be
held
contemptuous
to
spend
that
day
in
lawfull
labour
,
wherein
the
Church
shall
indict
a
solemne
fast
,
notwithstanding
that
liberty
of
the
sixe
dayes
which
God
hath
giuen
:
why
shall
that
bee
lawfull
in
a
case
of
deiection
,
which
may
not
in
prayse
and
exultation
?
If
the
Church
had
power
to
appoint
a
festiuall
for
the
dedication
of
the
Temple
and
the
like
,
then
it
hath
power
to
continue
the
memoriall
of
the
blessed
Apostles
.
We
see
the
Iewes
did
keepe
the
feast
of
the
Dedication
,
which
was
threefold
as
Alcuinus
noteth
:
The
first
by
Salomon
in
the
time
of
Autumne
:
Iudas
Macchabaeus
in
Winter
,
the
remembrance
whereof
contitinued
vntill
Christs
time
.
Iudas
Macchabaeus
did
the
Temple
here
,
when
it
was
polluted
by
the
Ethniques
,
with
the
most
filthy
Idolatry
of
Antiochus
.
Which
Feasts
they
called
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
Renoualia
,
or
Renouales
dies
,
dayes
of
renewing
;
which
are
not
once
celebrated
,
but
the
solemnities
of
them
are
done
euery
yeare
once
,
as
now
when
Christ
came
to
the
feast
of
the
Dedication
;
whence
I
inferre
this
doctrine
.
That
the
consecrating
of
Churches
to
the
right
seruice
of
the
true
God
is
a
warrantable
ceremonie
,
allowable
by
our
Sauiours
presence
.
The
Reason
of
this
thing
may
be
drawne
from
that
rule
of
the
Apostle
,
Euery
creature
of
God
is
good
,
and
nothing
to
bee
refused
,
if
it
bee
receyued
with
thanksgiuing
:
and
shall
not
Gods
house
bee
dedicated
?

The

Atheist
despiseth
the

scorning
Priests
,
whose
spirituall
sacrifice
of

,
God
accepteth
as
well
as
he
did
incense
in

and
like

seeke
to
make
themselues
sport
in
blaspheming
the
God
of
Israel
,
by
rending
in
pieces

Messengers
,
in
their
drunken
,
lasciuious

they
foame

The

Blesse

Temple

hee

been
put

Thus
they
that

things
dedicated

,
haue
stood

It
is
a
slander
that
our
Faith
or
Credo
pulleth
downe
those
Churches
,
which
their
Pater
Noster
founded
:
Their
claime
is
false
,
to
bee
founders
of

Constantine
the

built
Churches
before

was
hatched
:
Charles
the

,
Germany
,
France
,
Italy
,
not
for

for
the

to
bee
taught

and
the
Britaines
ancient
Inhabiters
of
this

had
their
Churches

no

To

seene

We

A
Sermon

Bailiues

Be
you
with
your
Brethren
trusty
Guardians
of
the
Schooles
and
Schollers
;
defend
their
foundation
,
reuenues
,
priuiledges
:
The
Magistrate
defendeth
the
scholler
with
his
sword
,
and
the
scholler
defendeth
the
Magistrate
with
his
penne
.
Let
Learning
be
countenanced
by
you
,
and
the
learned
shall
praise
you
.
I
shall
hereafter
giue
you
a
more
ample
charge
out
of
another
Text
of
Scripture
;
where
you
shall
see
that
you
must
giue
an
account
of
your
office
to
the
God
of
Gods
.
Prouident
and
industrious
Masters
of
this
Schoole
,
so
teach
your
Schollers
,
that
they
may
haue
this
testimony
which
Cyprian
gaue
Christians
;
Feare
God
and
honour
the
King
;
We
deserue
not
iust
censures
,
and
passe
by
vniust
:
Be
content
with
that
you
haue
,
countenance
none
to
challenge
that
which
is
the
portion
of
another
:
If
they
pull
from
the
Church
that
which
is
due
,
and
pretend
to
bring
it
hither
;
it
is
like
Iudas
proiect
,
that
would
not
haue
Christs
body
annointed
,
but
the
poore
relieued
:
It
is
an
hon●●ring
of
the
members
,
and
vncouering
of
the
head
:
That
little
which
they
take
away
(
and
but
little
all
is
left
)
eateth
,
as
we
see
,
into
their
wealth
,
who
seeke
to
robbe
Church
or
Schoole
:
Let
your
diligent
labours
make
such
,
that
may
defend
you
from
vniust
wrongs
;
and
then
,
as
Herod
the
great
,
though
at
home
,
Young
Plants
of
this
consecrated
Vineyard
,
I
say
to
you
,
as
Salomon
to
his
young
man
:
Remember
now
your
creator
in
the
dayes
of
your
youth
,
Dum
vires
annique
sinunt
,
—
While
strength
and
yeeres
suffer
you
,
Be
diligent
and
constant
in
preparing
your selues
to
be
hereafter
ornaments
of
the
Church
and
common
wealth
.
Now
is
your
Haruest
;
Let
your
Schoole
be
as
it
is
called
Ludus
literarius
,
a
place
wherein
you
take
pleasure
to
learne
,
rather
then
a
paine
;
Redeeme
the
time
,
the
daies
are
euill
;
Life
is
short
,
Art
is
long
.
Let
vs
all
Beloued
,
heare
the
end
of
all
:
Feare
God
,
and
keepe
his
commandements
,
for
this
is
the
whole
duty
of
man
:
All
of
vs
must
appeare
,
yesterday
diuinely
we
were
admonished
.
Holy
,
Holy
,
Holy
,
Lord
God
Almighty
,
the
song
of
Cherubims
&
Seraphims
;
and
shall
for
euer
liue
in
glory
with
the
Father
,
the
Sonne
,
and
the
Spirit
:
To
which
Frinitie
we
shall
ascribe
prayse
and
power
in
a
vnitie
,
for
euer
and
euer
:
So
be
it
,
Amen
