ANd
shee
saide
to
the
King
,
It
was
a
true
word
,
which
I
heard
in
my
owne
Land
of
thy
sayings
,
and
of
thy
wisedome
.
6.
Howbeit
,
I
beleeued
not
their
report
,
vntill
I
came
,
and
mine
eyes
had
seene
it
:
&
behold
,
the
one
halfe
of
thy
great
wisedome
was
not
tolde
mee
,
for
thou
exceedest
the
Fame
that
I
heard
.
7.
Happy
are
thy
men
,
and
happy
are
thy
Seruants
,
which
stand
before
thee
alway
,
and
heare
thy
wisedome
.
8.
Blessed
bee
the
Lord
thy
God
,
which
loued
thee
,
to
set
thee
on
his
throne
,
as
King
,
in
stead
of
the
Lorde
thy
God
:
because
thy
God
loucth
Israell
,
to
establish
it
for
euer
,
therefore
hath
he
made
thee
King
ouer
them
,
to
execute
Iudgement
and
Iustice
.

Then
she
gaue
the
King
six
score
Talents
of
Gold
,
and
of
sweet
Odours
exceeding
much
,
and
precious
stones
.
THe
solemnity
of
this
most
ioyfull
day
,
and
happy
opportunity
which
God
hath
giuen
vs
to
celebrate
the
same
,
to
the
glory
of
his
holy
name
,
to
the
honour
of
our
most
Religious
Soueraigne
,
to
the
comfort
of
vs
and
all
his
loyall
Subiectes
,
but
to
the
confusion
of
those
sonnes
of
Beliall
,
who
hauing
euill
will
at
Sion
,
repine
and
pine
away
,
to
see
the
peace
and
prosperity
of
this
most
flourishing
church
and
kingdome
,
and
to
heare
of
the
myrth
and
melodie
in
our
streets
this
day
,
hath
mooued
me
to
make
choice
of
these
wordes
of
the
Queene
of
Sheba
to
King
Salomon
;
wherein
euery
one
may
see
both
a
fit
correspondence
to
our
Salomon
,
and
a
woorthy
example
of
that
loue
wee
all
owe
to
him
,
and
thankesgiuing
vnto
God
,
for
this
so
great
,
and
so
incstimable
a
blessing
.
In
the
wordes
themselues
,
not
to
seeke
any
curious
diuision
(
which
in
an
History
you
will
not
expect
)
obserue
I
pray
you
with
me
,
foure
seuerall
pointes
,
which
concerne
foure
seuerall
parties
.
The
first
,
concernes
King
Salomon
;
wherein
is
set
downe
a
singuler
commendation
of
his
wisedome
,
which
exceeded
all
reports
.
[
Behold
the
one
halfe
,
&c.
]
The
second
,
concernes
the
people
and
Subiects
of
King
Salomon
;
wherein
is
declared
their
blessed
and
happy
estate
,
who
had
Salomon
a
wise
King
to
rule
●…uer
them
.
[
Happy
are
thy
seruants
.
]
The
third
,
concernes
Almighty
God
,
wherein
is
expressed
a
most
Religious
thankesgiuing
vnto
him
,
for
placing
Salomon
,
a
wise
King
ouer
his
people
.
[
Bl●…ssed
bee
the
Lord
thy
God
.
]
In
which
third
point
,
besides
many
other
,
two
particular
branches
are
especially
to
be
considered
:
the
former
,
from
whom
Salomon
had
or
held
his
kingdome
,
and
that
was
immediately
from
God
,
who
made
him
King
ouer
Israel
,
and
placed
him
in
his
owne
throne
,
and
in
his
owne
stead
.
[
To
set
thee
on
his
throne
.
]
The
latter
,
what
moued
or
induced
God
,
to
graunt
his
people
so
wise
a
King
;
no
merrits
nor
deserts
,
eyther
of
King
or
people
,
but
onely
his
owne
fauour
and
free
loue
to
Israell
.
[
Because
thy
God
loueth
Israell
.
]
The
fourth
and
last
point
,
concernes
the
Queene
of
Sheba
;
wherein
is
set
forth
,
a
manifest
and
outward
testification
of
the
honour
and
honourable
respect
shee
bare
toward
King
Salomon
,
in
token
whereof
,
s●…e
bestowed
on
him
such
royall
and
magnificent
presents
:
six
score
talents
of
Gold
,
sweete
Odours
,
and
Precious
stones
.
[
Then
shee
gaue
the
King
.
]
Of
these
seuerall
pointes
,
by
the
most
gracious
and
helpefull
assistance
of
Gods
holy
spirit
,
and
by
your
Honourable
and
wonted
patience
and
attention
,
wee
are
at
this
time
(
God
willing
)
to
intreat
.
The
first
point
,
concernes
the
admirable
,
&
(
indeed
)
inexplicable
wisedome
of
King
Salomon
,
whereof
God
himselfe
is
a
most
sufficient
witnesse
.
Wisedome
and
knowledge
is
granted
vnto
thee
,
so
that
there
hath
not
bin
the
like
among
the
Kings
which
were
before
thee
,
neither
after
thee
shall
th●…re
bee
the
like
.

So

into

.
And
though

onely

vsually

amplifier

multiplier
of
that
which

yet
in
this
it
was
quite
contrary
.
The
report
of
this
wisedome
was
such
,
that
it
seemed
incredible
;
and
therefore
this
Queene
confesseth
she
belieued
it
not
:
but
when
she
had
heard
it
her selfe
,
and
bin
an
eye
and
eare-witnesse
of
all
,
as
one
amazed
and
astonished
thereat
,
she
breakes
into
this
admiration
thereof
,
set
downe
in
my
Text.
Behold
,
the
one
halfe
of
thy
great
wisdome
was
not
told
mee
,
thou
exceedest
the
Fame
that
I
heard
.
Hauing
spoken
this
of
the
wisedome
of
King
Salomon
,
may
I
now
presume
to
speake
a
word
or
two
of
the
sacred
Maiesty
of
my
dread
Soueraigne
?
It
is
not
my
purpose
to
make
any
paralell
to
Salomon
,
of
whom
God
himselfe
hath
saide
,
that
none
should
be
like
vnto
him
:
nor
take
vppon
me
to
set
forth
vnto
you
,
any
portraiture
of
that
wisedom
,
which
no
Zeuxes
nor
Apelles
can
otherwise
expresse
,
but
onely
,
by
drawing
ouer
it
the
vaile
or
Curtaine
of
Timanthu●…
,
to
import
,
it
cannot
be
expressed
.
The
wisedome
of
a
man
,
much
more
of
a
King
,
is
compared
by
Gods
spirit
,

to

and
to
a

:
who
am
I
,
to
diue
into
that
bottomelesse
depth
,
or
with
my
span
to
measure
the
depth
and
bredth
of
the
maine
Ocean
?
Yet
with
all
loyall
submission
,
let
mee
thus
much
say
,
and
say
much
lesse
then
I
do
conceiue
:
Neither
can
this
present
age
,
nor
al
the
Chronicles
(
I
say
)
not
of
great
Brittaine
onely
,
but
of
all
Europe
,
present
vnto
vs
a
King
,
indued
with
such
admirable
gifts
of
Learning
,
Iudgement
,
and
Memory
;
adorned
with
so
many
princely
and
Heroicall
Vertues
,
Iustice
,
Clemency
,
and
Wisedome
;
especially
,
with
that
Diuine
and
Heauenly
wisedome
,
which
is
the
Fountaine
and
foundation
of
all
the
rest

with
Religion

Piety

Zeale

and
constant
Magnanimity
to
professe
,
maintaine
,
and
vphold
the
truth
of
God
,
and
of
his
Gospell
.
Which
report
of
mine
,
if
any
suppose
to
be
too
lauish
,
and
with
this
Queene
of
Sheba
beleeue
it
not
,
let
him
well
consider
,
those
many
,
and
most
Religiously
wise
speeches
,
vttered
in
a
manner
in
the
hearing
of
the
whole
Realme
:
Conferences
,
Disputations
,
free
Monarchies
,
but
specially
,
that
most
learned
Apologie
,
for
the
Oath
of
Allegiance
against
the
Popes
two
Breues
,
and
that
kingly
gift
,
fit
onely
for
a
peerelesse
King
,
to
giue
to
a
peerelesse
Prince
;
all
which
are
but
some
few
sparkes
of
that
euer-burning
Lampe
,
or
but
small
streames
,
of
that
euer
and
ouer-flowing
spring
,
and
then
hee
will
bee
forced
euen
with
admiration
,
to
professe
and
say
with
this
Queene
,
as
after
the
hearing
and
reading
of
diuers
of
them
,
my selfe
with
many
others
,
haue
often
said
,
It
was
a
true
word
indeed
which
I
h●…ard
of
thy
sayings
,
and
of
thy
wisedome
;
howbeit
I
beleeued
it
not
,
vntill
I
came
,
and
mine
eies
had
seene
it
:
and
beholde
,
the
one
halfe
of
thy
great
wisedome
was
not
told
mee
,
for
thou
exceedest
the
fame
that
I
heard
.
With
which
true
Testimonie
of
the
wisedoms
of
both
these
Salomons
,
I
end
this
first
point
,
which
concernes
the
King
,
and
the
admiration
of
his
great
wisedome
.
The
second
point
concernes
the
people
and
subiects
of
King
Salomon
,
of
whom
the
Queene
heere
saith
,
that
they
were
blessed
&
happy
,
who
had
Salomon
a
wise
king
,
to
rule
ouer
them
.
Happy
are
thy
people
,
and
happie
are
thy
Seruants
.
Nor
can
there
in
truth
be
a
greater
comfort
to
any
people
,
or
greater
safety
to
any
kingdome
,
then
to
be
gouerned
by
a
wise
and
prudent
King
:
By
a
man
of
vnderstanding
and
knowledge

a
Realme

A

he

be

we

so

began

ELIZABETH
,
whose
Sacred
spirite
doth
now
rest
and
raigne
with
the

her

shall
bee
blessed

eternized

God
by
the

There

would
we

turned

It
is

at

of

of

since
at
large
demonstrated
,
to
haue
an
assured
and
vndeniable
warrant
,
not
onely
from
all
antiquity
and
the
renowned
practise
of
the
whole
Primitiue
Church
,
but
euen
from
the
Apostles
themselues
,
and
from
the
diuine
institution
and
ordinance
of
the
Lord
.
Nor
is
it
my
purpose
at
this
time
,
to
make
euident
vnto
you
,
how
that
Imperious
,
nay
rather
Imperiall
,
presbiteriall
Consistory
,
which
those
new
builders
had
fancied
;
besides
that
,
it
wants
all
ground
of
Scripture
and
of
Antiquity
,
is
in
truth
,
and
in
experience
would
prooue
,
a
very
Seminary
of
sedition
,
and
a
Sanctuary
to
euery
turbulent
and
seditious
Gracchus
,
both
in
Church
and
kingdome
.
Nor
was
it
possible
,
that
a
fancy
so
repugnant
to
Scriptures
,
Fathers
,
and
all
Antiquity
,
so
contrary
to
the
peace
and
Tranquility
both
of
Church
and
kingdome
,
could
euer
haue
found
like
entertainment
,
if
the
maintainers
and
abetters
thereof
had
not
bin
guided
,
nay
blinded
with
two
most
dangerous
affections
both
for
Church
and
Common-wealth
,
affectation
of
Singularitie
,
and
of
Popularity
.
That
which
I
would
onely
mention
at
this
time
,
is
the
great
blessing
,
which
by
the
happy
meanes
of
our
Salomon
we
now
enioy
;
who
seeing
,
and
grieuing
to
see
a

Church

with
more
then
Princely
Clemency

the

,
appeased
those

and
remoued
that
shame
and
reproach
from

,
which
the
vnquietnesse
of

spirits
,
had
brought
vppon
it
.
Who
being

as
the
Angell
of

according
to
the
aboundance
of
that
admirable
and
Diuine
wisedome
,
wherewith
God
hath
extraordinarily
filled
his
Royall
heart
,
hath
firmely
setled

established

Arke

,
euen
from

most

basely

disgracefully

In
the

haue
bin
iustly
smitten
of
the
Lord
,
because
they
neither
had
right
,
nor
bare
sincere
loue
to
the
Arke
of
God
,
whose
cure
also
hath
beene
sought
,
&
that
with
most
tender
and
fatherly
care
and
compassion
:
but
such
is
the
zeale
of
opposition
,
and
predominancy
of
Popularity
and
contentious
humors
,
that
by
no
demonstrations
of
reason
will
they
be
perswaded
,
no
,
not
when
they
are
indeed
perswaded
;
by
no
authority
will
they
be
mo●…ed
,
no
,
not
by
that
Sacred
and
Soueraigne
,
which
God
himselfe
hath
appointed
in
many
of
those
affaires
,
to
bee
the
very
Canon
and
rule
of
right
:
though
some
fewe
of
these
,
I
say
,
may
repine
heereat
,
yet
shall
it
euer
be
the
honour
,
yea
,
the
felicity
and
safety
also
of
our
Soueraigne
,
to
haue
those
holy
Aarons
to
support
his
Princely
hands
:
and
this
shall
euer
be
reckoned
as
a
speciall
,
and
as
it
is
in
truth
,
euen
a
rare
blessing
of
God
vpon
this
Church
and
Kingdome
,
by
all
those
,
whosoeuer
not
in
shew
,
but
in
sincerity
and
truth
,
wish
to
see
peace
in
Sion
,
and
prosperity
in
Ierusalem
.
I
must
in
silence
passe
by
many
other
and
great
blessings
,
which
by
the
meanes
of
our
SALOMON
,
are
heaped
vpon
vs

But
let
my
tongue
cleaue
to
the
roofe
of
my
mouth
,
if
I
forget
that
one
most
memorable
happinesse
,
which
wee
all
receiued
by
him
on
that
fift
of
Nouember
.
That
one
day
shall
be
for

a
most

both
of

most
blessed

vnspeakable
Wisedom
,
and
of
the
infinit
blessings
which
by
him
we
haue
all
receiued
.
By
it
,
wee
enioy
not
onely
our
Goods
,
our
Lands
,
our
Liuings
,
our
Liberty
,
our
Religion
;
but
euen
this
,
that
we
liue
and
breath
this
day
,
we
owe
it
to
him
,
and
to
his
wisedome
.
It
was
not
the
Loue
nor
Loyalty
of
his
,
though
most
louing
and
Loyall
Subiects
,
which
preuented
that
sudden
and
secret
blow
,
that
should
at

haue
dispatched
and
blowne
vp
all

It
was
not
the
Prudence
and

of

woorthies
of
King
Dauid
;
the
Golden
pillers
of
Israel
,

,
and

most
Honourable
Senate
.
All
may
,
and
all
willingly
doe
disclaime
the
praise
of
that
day
.
The
whole
honour
of
that
most
wonderfull
,
and
withall
,
most
happy
deliuerance
,
must
bee
giuen
first
to
thee
,
O

and

to

of

now
with

if
besides
many
and
great
blessinges
which
I
haue
purposely
omitted
,
for
these
so
great
and
indeed
inualuable
blessings
which
by
the
happy
meanes
of
our
SALOMON
we
doe
enioy
,
we
may
not
all
most
iustly
say
to
him
,
as
did
the
Queene
of
Sheba
to
King
Salomon
:
[
Happy
O
King
are
thy
people
,
and
happy
are
thy
Seruants
.
]
Shall
I
further
here
adde
,
whereof
this
Queene
is
silent
in
that
King
of
Israel
,
that
the
wisedom
of
our
SALOMON
is
an
happinesse
,
not
onely
to
his
owne
people
and
Subiectes
,
but
euen
to
strangers
also
?
The
gracious
beames
there
of
like
those
of
the
Sunne
,
spreading
themselues
to
far
and
forraine
Countries
;
yea
,
to
the
vtmost
Coastes
of
this
and
the
other
world
.
To
omit
many
other
and
euident
proofes
hereof
,
euen
that
which
beeing
the
chiefe
,
if
time
would
suffer
ought
not
to
bee
omitted
,
that
with
such
constancy
and
zeale
,
himselfe
holds
forth
a
glorious
Lampe
of
Piety
,
and
true
Religion
vnto
all
Christian
Kings
and
kingdomes
,
performing
heerein
that
which
Gods
spirite
hath
noted
[

as
the
greatest
part
of
wisdome
,
the
more
wise
the
King
was
,
the
more
he
taught
them
knowledge
,
&
caused
them
to
heare
:
But
omitting
these
,
let
the
honourable
expedition
now
happily
intended
for
Virginea
be
a
witnesse
:
enterprised
,
I
say
not
auspicijs
,
but
by
the
most
wise
&
religious
direction
and
protection
of
our
chiefest
Pilot
,
seconded
by
so
many
honorable
and
worthy
personages
in
this
State
and
kingdome
,
that
it
may
iustly
giue
encouragement
with
alacrity
and
cheerefulnesse
for
some
to
vndertake
,
for
others
to
further
so
noble
&
so
religious
an
attempt
.
I
may
not
stay
in
this
straightnes
of
time
,
to
mention
,
much
lesse
set
forth
vnto
you
,
the
great
and
manifold
benefits
which
may
redound
to
this
our
so
populous
a
Nation
,
by
planting
an
English
Colony
in
a
Territory
as
large
and
spacious
almost
as
is
England
,
and
in
a
soyle
so
rich
,
fertill
,
and
fruitefull
,
as
that
besides
the
sufficiencyes
it
naturally
yealds
for
it selfe
,
may
with
best
conuenience
,
supply
some
of
the
greatest
wantes
and
necessities
of
these
Kingdomes
.
Of
these
and
such
like
particulars
I
will
not
now
intreat
,
though
I
could
commend
them
by
more
then
ordinary
and
vulgar
report
vnto
you
.
But
that
happinesse
which
I
mentioned
,
is
an
happie
and
glorious
worke
indeede
,
of
planting
among
those
poore
and
sauage
,
and
to
be
pittied
Virginians
,
not
onely
humanitie
,
instead
of
brutish
inciuility
,
but
Religion
also
,
Piety
,
the
true
knowledge
and
sincere
worship
of
GOD
,
where
his
name
is
not
heard
off
:
and
reducing
those
to
Faith
and
saluation
by
Christ
▪
who
as
yet
in
the
blindnesse
of
their
Infidelity
and
superstition
,
doe
offer
Sacrifice
,
yea
,
euen
themselues
vnto
the
Diuell
.
This
being
the
Religious
and
honourable
intendment
of
this
enterprise
,
what
glory
shall
heereby
redound
vnto
God
?
What
Honour
to
our
Soueraigne
?
What
comfort
to
those
his
Subiects
,
who
shall
be
the
meanes
or
furtherers
of
so
happy
a
worke
,
not
only
to
see
a
new
BRITTAINE
in
another
world
,
but
to
heare
also
those
,
as
yet
Heathen
,
Barbarous
,
and
Brutish
people
,
together
with
our
English
,
to
learne
the
speech
and
language
of
Canaan
:
and
next
after
their
Hymnes
and
Alleluia●…es
vnto
God
,
to
sound
forth
the
honour
and
happinesse
of
our
Soueraigne
;
not
onely
saying
with
this
Queene
of
Sheba
,
Happy
are
thy
people
,
and
thy
Subiects
,
but
happy
are
wee
and
others
,
that
were
strangers
to
you
;
yea
strangers
and
aliants
to
God
,
happy
are
we
by
thee
,
and
by
thy
wisedome
.
And
this
be
spoken
of
the
second
generall
point
,
which
concernes
the
people
and
their
happinesse
,
by
hauing
Salomon
a
wise
and
prudent
King
to
rule
ouer
them
.
The
third
generall
point
concernes
almighty
God
,
and
containes
a
thankesgiuing
to
him
,
for
setting
Salomon
a
wise
King
to
rule
ouer
his
people
.
Blessed
bee
the
Lorde
thy
God
which
set
thee
on
his
Throne
.
The
acknowledgement
in
this
Queene
,
of
the
true
God
of
Israel
,
of
his
Diuine
prouidence
,
and
omnipotent
power
in
placing
Salomon
in
his
owne
Throne
;
of
his
goodnesse
and
loue
to
Israel
,
whom
hee
would
establish
for
euer
;
of
his
righteousnesse
,
in
that
hee
would
haue
his
people
gouerned
by
Iustice
and
Iudgement
;
specially
this
her
Religious
thankesgiuing
vnto
God
,
for
this
blessing
bestowed
on
his
people
;
all
these
are
so
many
euident
demonstrations
of
her
true
knowledge
of
God
,
of
her
loue
to
God
,
and
Gods
Children
,
of
her
sincere
Piety
,
and
Religious
seruing
of
God
;
&
that
though
by
Nature
she
was
a
Gentile
,
and
aliant
from
God
,
yet
was
she
by
his
speciall
grace
one
of
those
Primitiae
gentium
,
which
were
ingrafted
into
the
true
Oliue
,
and
made
pertakers
of
the
fatnesse
thereof
,
and
of
those
heauenly
blessings
stored
vp
in
Iesus
Christ
.
But
I
purposely
omit
all
these
particulers
.
The
onely
point
which
I
would
now
commend
vnto
you
is
,
what
a
motiue
and
prouocation
this
ought
to
bee
for
vs
all
,
to
laud
and
magnifie
the
Lord
,
for
placing
so
wise
and
Religious
a
King
ouer
vs
and
all
these
kingdomes
.
King
Salomon
was
but
a
stranger
to
this
Queene
,
who
yet
as
you
see
is
so
thankfull
to
God
:
He
so
farre
from
being
a
stranger
to
vs
,
that
we
may
say
as
did

We
are
thy
bones
,
and
thy
flesh
.
She
being
but
a
soiourner
for
a
very
short
time
in
that
kingdome
,
could
not
long
pertake
the
benefit
of
his
instructions
,
nor
of
peace
and
protection
by
his
Iustice
and
Iudgement
:
But
we
from
our
SALOMON
,
receiue
continuall
influence
of
his
Diuine
both
Sacred
and
Politicall
Wisedome
,
continuall
protection
vnder
his
sacred
shield
,
continuall
tranqu●…lity
vnder
his
most
iust
,
equall
,
and
wholsome
Lawes
,
both
Ecclesiasticall
and
Ciuill
:
How
much
more
then
should
our
mouths
be
filled
with
praises
and
blessings
vnto
the
Lord
our
God
?
And
how
Religiously
should
we
say
as
she
did
;
Blessed
be
the
Lord
thy
GOD
,
which
loued
thee
,
to
set
thee
on
his
Throne
.
I
doubt
not
,
but
for
these
blessings
of
the
Lord
,
often
times
in
your
priuate
houses
and
Chambers
,
ye
sing
Hymnes
and
Psalmes
with
a
grace
in
your
heartes
vnto
the
Lord
.
But
because
for
these
publicke
and
extraordinary
blessinges
,
GOD
lookes
for
publicke
and
extraordinary
praises
at
our
hands
;
because
we
are
now
assembled
in
this
place
,
as
at
the
Temple
of
Ierusalem
,
of
purpose
to
offer
the
sweet
Sacrifice
and
Incense
of
our
lippes
vnto
God
,
and
this
day
both
before
men
and
Angels
,
to
testifie
our
thanksgiuing
vnto
God
,
our
loue
and
▪
loyaltie
to
our
Soueraigne
.
Let
euery
one
of
you
prouoke
&
stirre
vp
another
,
and
suffer
me
as
one
of
the
Trumpeters
of
the
Lord
to
excite
vs
all
,
and
stirre
vp
your
prepared
hearts
,
and
Religious
affections
,
for
all
and
euery
of
these
blessings
,
to
laud
and
magnifie
the
glorious
name
of
God
,
and
if
it
be
possible
,
by
some
extraordinary
straine
of
our
vnited
thankes
,
to
pierce
the
very
skies
,
and
giue
an
eccho
to
those
Celestiall
Quires
,
singing
Halleluiah
,
Halleluiah
,
honour
,
and
praise
,
and
glory
,
be
vnto
God
,
&
to
the
Lamb
for
euermore
.
First
,
for
that
aboundance
of
our
continued
and
happy
peace
,
let
vs
say
with
the
Prophet

Praise
the
Lord
,
O
Ierusalem
,
praise
thy
God
,
O
Sion
,
for
he
hath
made
fast
the
barres
of
thy
gates
,
and
blessed
thy
children
within
thee
:
He
maketh
peace
in
thy
borders
,
and
filleth
thee
with
the
flower
of
Wheat
.
For
establishing
togither
with
this
peace
,
his
holy
Temple
and
Sanctuary
among
vs
,
and
in
it
the
true
and
sincere
worship
of
his
holy
name
,
O
that
wee
could
expresse
the
like
ioy
,
as
did
the
Israelites
for
their
Temple
which
Salomon
built
and
established
among
them
!
All
the
congregation
assembled
therein
,
the
Leuites
and
singers
of
all
sortes
,
of
Asaph
,
Heman
,
and
Ieduthun
,
being
clad
in
fine
Linnen
,
stood
with
Cimbals
,
with
Vyols
,
&
with
Harpes
,
at
the
East
end
of
the
Altar
,
and
with
them
an
hundered
and
twenty
Priests
blowing
with
Trumpets
,
&
they
were
all
but
as
one
man
,
and
made
but
one
sound
to
be
heard
in
praising
the
Lorde
.

But
because
the
pompe
and
beauty
of
the
second
Temple
,
is
euen
as
nothing
to
the
first
,
let
vs
yet
with
the
best
Trumpets
of
our
hearts
and
tongues
,
and
with
all
our
most
solemne
Instruments
of
musick
,
sing
that
Psalme
of
Thanksgiuing
,
which
they
then
did
vnto
God
;
Praise
the
Lord
,
for
he
is
good
,
and
his
mercy
indureth
for
euer
.
Praise
the
Lord
.
Like
ioy
and
thankesgiuing
let
vs
all
shew
for
the
Arke
of
the
Lord
,
which
by
the
meanes
of
our
SALOMON
,
according
to
Gods
owne
ordinance
is
established
on
those
holy
Mountaines
of
Sion
,
of
which
the
Lord
hath
saide
,
Heere
will
I
dwell
,
for
I
haue
a
delight
therein
.
Yea
,
let
vs
for
these
blessings
,
not
onely
sing
and
reioyce

euen
shoute
,
and
daunce
with
all
our
might
before
the
Lorde
.
For
which
,
howsoeuer
some
Michols
of
Babylon
,
or
of
the
house
of
Saule
,
shall
scoffe
and
scorne
,
and
tauntingly
say
vnto
vs
.
O
how
glorious
are
you
for
the
Temple
,
and
for
the
Arke
this
day
!
yet
this
is
our
comfort
,
and
shall
for
euer
bee
our
honour
,
that
in
vprightnesse
of
heart
,
we
can
truly
say
with
that
man
of
God
:
It
is
before
the
Lord
,
who
hath
chosen
vs
,
and
not
your
Fathers
house
,
and
who
hath
commaunded
vs
to
rule
ouer
the
people
of
God
:
and
therefore
will
wee
sing
,
and
play
,
and
daunce
;
yea
,
and
be
more
vile
also
then
thus
before
the
Lorde
.
And
euen
of
those
maide-seruants
of
Israel
,
of
whom
you
spake
,
that
is
,
of
the
holy
Church
of
God
,
shall
we
be
had
in
honor
.
But
for
those
scoffing
Michols
of
the
reiected
house
of
Saule
,
and
those
blaspheming
Rabsekaes
of
Assyria
,
they
shall
be
as
chaffe
scattered
before
the
Winde
,
and
as
dung
swept
away
from
the
presence
of
the
Lord
,
and
from
the
face
of
the
earth
.
But
what
can
we
render
vnto
God
,
or
say
vnto
him
for
that
most
rare
and
woonderfull
deliuerance
?
Let
vs
say
with
the
Israelites
,
after
the
like
deliuery
from
the
Iawes
of
Pharaoh
and
the

We
will
sing
vnto
the
lord
,
for
he
hath
triumphed
gloriously
.
Who
is
like
vnto
thee
O
Lord
;
glorious
in
holines
,
fearefull
in
praises
&
doing
wonders
:
the
lord
is
my
strength
&
praise
,
&
is
become
my

:
he
is
my
God
,
and
I
will
praise
him
▪
he
is
my
fathers
God
,
and
I
will
exalt
him
.
Or
let
vs
sing
that
Psalme
[
y
](A19548-e4430-b)
y
Psal.
124.
of
the
whole
Church
.
If
the
Lord
himselfe
had
not
beene
on
our
side
,
may
Israel
now
say
.
They
had
swallowed
vs
vp
quicke
when
they
were
so
wrathfully
displeased
at
vs
.
The
Waters
;
nay
,
the
raging
Fires
had
deuoured
vs
,
the
flames
had
gone
ouer
our
soule
.
Praised
bee
the
Lord
,
which
hath
not
giuen
vs
ouer
for
a
prey
vnto
their
teeth
.
Lastly
,
for
all
these
,
and
for
all
other
the
blessinges
of
the
Lord
;
specially
,
for
his
Sacred
Maiesty
,
vnder
whom
,
and
by
whom
wee
liue
,
and
liue
to
enioy
them
all
;
let
vs
with
one
heart
and
minde
sing
that
last
Psalme
of
the
Prophet
:
O
praise
God
in
his
holinesse
,
praise
him
in
the
firmament
of
his
power
;
praise
him
in
his
Noble
actes
,
praise
him
according
to
his
excellent
greatnesse
:
Praise
him
in
the
sounde
of
the
Trumpet
,
praise
him
vppon
the
Lute
and
Harpe
,
praise
him
in
the
Cimbals
and
Daunces
,
praise
him
vpon
the
strings
and
Pipe
:
praise
him
vpon
the
well-tuned
Cimbals
,
praise
him
vpon
the
loud
Cimbals
.
Let
euery
thing
that
hath
breath
,
praise
the
Lord
.
And
this
be
spoken
of
the
thankesgiuing
to
God
,
for
placing
Salomon
a
wise
King
ouer
his
people
.
In
this
Thankesgiuing
,
we
before
obserued
two
particular
Branches
.
The
former
was
,
from
whom
King
Salomon
had
and
held
his
kingdome
.
Of
which
it
is
heere
shewed
,
that
he
had
it
neither
from
the
Priest
,
nor
from
the
people
,
but
immediately
from
God
;
and
therefore
,
it
is
expressely
heere
said
,
[
God
made
thee
King
ouer
Israel
and
He
set
thee
on
the
Throne
]
not
the
Priest
,
not
the
people
,
but
God
made
him
King
,
and
God
set
him
on
the
Throne
.
For
further
euidence
whereof
,
it
is
heere
added
that
Salomon
was
set
in
the
Throne
,
neither
of
the
Priest
,
nor
of
the
people
,
but
he
was
set
in
Gods
owne
Throne
,
as
King
,
&
set
there
in
Gods
steed
,
as
one
immediately
represeuting
Gods
owne
person
among
them
,
and
beeing
his
immediate
Vice-gerent
,
or
Lieutenant
ouer
all
Israel
.
To
this
purpose
,
the
Scriptures
,
not
onely
in
generall
call
Kings
the
Ministers
or
Lieutenants
of
God
,

but
particularly
also
noteth
this
immediate
designment
of
God
in
many
of
them
:
as
of
Dauid
,
The
Lord
chose
him
to
be
King
,
and
delighted
in
him
to
make
him
King
ouer
all
Israell
.

and

The
other
Testimony
is
an
Authenticall
record
also
of
no
lesse
moment
,
and
somewhat
of
a
later
time
.
A
statute
made
in
the
16.
yeare
of
King
Richard
2.
Cap.
5.
of
purpose
to
keepe
sacred
and
inuiolable
the
Soueraignety
and
Regality
of
this
Kingdome
.
It
was
therein
declared
,
that
the
Crowne
of
England
hath
beene
so
free
at
all
times
(
not
then
onely
,
but
which
is
specially
to
bee
remembered
at
all
times
)
that
it
hath
beene
in
subiection
to
no
Realme
,
but
Immediately
subiect
to
GOD
,
and
to
none
other
,
in
all
thinges
touching
the
Regalty
of
the
same
.
These
are
the
words
in
that
statute
,
besides
diuers
other
tending
hereunto
,
In
defence
of
which
statute
they
in
the
Parliament
then
assembled
,
promised
to
liue
and
die
,
as
it
is
there
noted
.
By
al
which
it
is
euident
,
that
this
doctrine
which
now
at
Rome
is
counted
most
ridiculous
,
is
in
it self
most
sacred
,
as
being
grounded
on
the
scriptures
of
God
;
and
as
most
sacred
hath
bin
embraced
by
all
the
Christians
in
the
primitiue
Church
;
taught
and
maintained
with
a
generall
consent
by
the
ancient
and
godly
fathers
in
their
seuerall
ages
and
successions
:
constantly
defended
by
whole
kingdoms
and
Empires
,
and
that
vnder
paine
of
high
Treason
to
the
gainesayers
thereof
,
euen
in
those
later
times
also
,
when
superstition
had
dimd
,
I
confesse
,
but
not
quite
extinguished
and
put
out
the
truth
,
and
(
which
is
far
worse
)
the
loue
of
the
truth
,
as
it
may
iustly
be
feared
,
it
hath
done
at
this
day
in
Rome
,
and
in
those
of
their
sect
,
who
to
error
and
heresie
haue
added
not
onely
obstinacy
,
but
blasphemy
,
like
new
Lucians
scoffing
the
sacred
truth
of
God
,
accounting
it
a
most
a
ridiculous
matter
.
May
I
with
your
patience
proceed
a
litle
further
in
this
argument
,
to
consider
(
which
is
in
truth
worthy
your
consideration
;
seeing
these
men
will
not
allow
Kinges
and
Emperours
to
hold
immediately
from
God
,
which
being
the
most
Honourable
,
is
most
fit
to
bee
a
Regall
Tenure
)
to
whom
else
they
would
haue
them
bee
beholden
,
and
to
doe
homage
and
fealty
for
their
Crownes
and
Kingdomes
.
And
to
whom
else
thinke
you
but
to
the
vtter
enemie
of
God
,
to
that
man
of
sinne
,
and
sonne
of
perdition
,
who
exalts
himselfe
indeed
,
as
the
Apostle
[

saith
,
and
whom
they
also
haue
exalted
aboue
all
:
Exalting
him
first
from
a
Christian
Byshop
,
to
an
Antichristian
Pope
,
and
then
from
a
Pope
or
Pastor
,
to
a
Temporall
King
&
supreame
Monarch
of

whose
Soueraignty
must
be

Kings
and

,
and
his
Dominion
ouer
all
Lands

,
and
possessions
in

Euen
of

wil

exempt
either

it
may
most
iustly
be
replyed
vnto
him
,
with
the
wordes
of
Saint
Barnard
,
in
his

Si

If

Who

Si

If

goe
about

he
goeth
about

And
again
,
do
ye
despice

powers
?
Seculiarior

,
none
was
more
secular
then
Pilot
,
before
whom
Christ
himselfe
stood
to
be
Iudged
,
and
of
whom
he
confessed
:
Potestatem
super
sefuisse
caelitus
ordinatam
:
That
Pilate
had
power
ouer
him
,
and
that
giuen
from
God
.
What
in
duty
then
ought
to
bee
done
for
the
whole
time
of
the
New
Testament
,
by
this
example
of
Christ
,
and
precept
of
Gods
Spirit
,
is
most
euident
.
And
as
subiection
is
commaunded

was
it
practised

performed

True

(
which
I
doubt
not
but
you
do
performe
,
and
to
the
constant
and
continuall
performance
whereof
,
I
earnestly
exhort
you
all
this

is
to
looke
at
our
Soueraigne
,
as
at
one
placed
immediately
by
God
,
placed
in
Gods
owne
Throne
,
placed
in
the
steede
of
God
himselfe
among
vs
:
And
then
to
loue
,
honour
,
and
obey
him
,
not
for
other
respects
,
but
for
that
Loue
,
Religious
dutie
and
conscience
,
which
wee
owe
vnto
God
,
who
placed
him
in
his
own
throne
,
and
in
his
own
stead
to
gouerne
vs
.
To
honour
and
obey
him
for
fear
,
is
seruility
and
basenesse
;
to
obey
for
gaine
or
profit
,
is
selfe-loue
;
to
obey
with
that
implyed
condition
,
is
Implicite
,
Rebellion
,
and
Antichristian
;
to
loue
and
honour
him
(
as
wee
all
ought
)
for
his
owne
Piety
,
Vertue
,
and
goodnesse
,
is
Christian
Charity
;
but
to
loue
and
obey
him
for
Gods
owne
cause
,
who
set
him
in
his
owne
Throne
,
to
rule
in

,
is
true
and
Christian
Loyalty
,
true
and
most
loyall
Subiection
.
And
this
be
spoken
of
the
first
particular
braunch
proposed
;
Namely
,
from
whom
the
King
had
or
held
his
kingdome
,
euen
immediately
from
God
,
who
made
him
King
,
who
set
him
in
his
Throne
,
and
in
his
steed
ouer
the
people
.
The
other
particular
;
Namely
,
what
moued
or
induced
God
to
place
Salomon
ouer
his
people
,
which
was
no
desert
of
theirs
,
either
King
or
people
,
but
his
owne
fauour
and
free
loue
vnto
them
,
I
purposely
omit
,
and
in
that
short
remainder
of
the
allowed
time
,
intend
to
speake
a
little
of
the
last
point

commend
