Mansion for us even in thy House O Father And with us be mindful of all Degrees amongst us from David upon the Throne to Job upon the Dunghill be good unto them in all their Cares Vows Prayers Devotions and Afflictions according to the multitude of thy most tender Mercies and comfortable Promises Let the King rejoyce in thy strength O Lord and do thou make his Power to flourish and his Righteousness to blossom like the Rod of Aaron ordain a lustre of Honour and Happiness for him and his House for evermore let not his Candle go out in obscurity nor quench the Light of Israel but let his Enemies be inveloped with disgrace and disappointments and cloath thy Priests and our Church of England with Honour Prosperity and perfect Redemption that the Horn of David may bud amongst us and the Power of Godliness shoot forth every where in our Land in the great City in Princes Courts and in thy House and ours so that thou mayest have Mercy on Zion and repair the breaches of thy Jerusalem while she that sate Disconsolate as a Widow may now be feasted with Bread from Heaven with the Manna of Divine Ordinances duly administred so that no Soul amongst us may go empty away but that even he who gathers least may have no lack Exod. 16.18 Lord thou canst make thy holy Viands like David's Provision at the Passover be dealt so plentifully to every one as that none shall be unprovided for or ashamed who depend like Ruth upon thy Bounty but they who despise thee shall be wrapt up in Confusion as in a Cloak Therefore let thy Servants joy in thy Salvation and all our People know the Lord acknowledging his Goodness and his Bounty that blesses the Abundance of the Rich and fills the Hungry with good things that both may have Bread enough and neither want nor repine but seek their Food of God while he makes those that depart wickedly from him to continue in shame and scarcity Ah! that we may stand in a we and not sin lest we inherit the promotion of Fools instead of the Kingdom and Crown of David so provide for us gracious Master in every state and condition as may seem best to thy God-like Wisdom and prove most to thine Eternal Glory if not to ours O! Our Father c. THE FOURTEENTH Psalm of Degrees BEING The CXXXIII PSALM Was composed by David as some think at his Coronation 2 Sam. 5. 1 Chr. ●1 2 Pet. 1.7 1 Sam. 17.29 after his eight years Civil War to exhort the People to Love and Amity according to the exhortation of the Apostle for those were the Graces which did most adorn his Life both when a public and a private Person and so this Psalm as the next 1 Sam. 18. 2 Sam. 1. 2 Sam. 3. 2 Sam. 10. 9. 18. c. was fitted for the most Solemn Times of Worship and the happy Return from Bondage and Captivity because it magnifies the pious Accord Uniformity and Blessed Communion of the Church of God in all Times It Celebrates the Excellencies of Love both in and towards God and Man it reflects much Joy from the Consideration of the Mystical Union between Christ and his Members whom he owns as Brethren who shall live and live together also with him though he is their High Priest Rock and Prince according to the most apt Comparisons of the holy Oyl and high-born Dew which Similies In Zorchabel and Joshua Types of the Messiah as well as the Subject were so well calculated to the Time when there was a Prince and an High Priest restored again to Israel that it is no wonder we find it placed among the Graduals Some apply it to all the Israelites Love one towards another who were Brethren of the same Stock as we are all in Adam and likewise to their Love of their Ruler who was higher than the rest as was shewn in Saul like Mount Hermon and Sion more advancing than other Hills Therefore to animate us with the like affections towards our Brethren Parents and Superiours they say the Priest's Blessing is compared to the Sacred Oyl and the Prince's Favour to the fruitful Dew according to that expression of the Wisest of Kings which descends from the highest to the lowest and is both pleasant and profitable to all Prov. 19.12 as the Heathen Poet Meander once quoted by St. Paul himself could say 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Some of the Rabbins think it a particular Eulogy of the Concord and Conformity among the Priests in their Religious Exercises and therefore mention is made of Aaron the most Anointed of the Lord as he may be termed rather than chief Anointed because most Oyl was expended on him For Saint George's or All-Saints Day BE hold how plea sant ' t is how good But O! how rare and hard to find Brethren of the same House and Blood be-come of the same way and mind Like Sampson's Honey Judg. 14.14 strong and sweet 'T is thus to see Men's Hearts and Hands As Jonathan's and David's meet 1 Sam. 18.3 Twisting together in Love's Bands When Prince and People so are one As that the Oyl 2 Sam. 19.39.5.3.19.23 pour'd on his Head Down to the lowest Limb doth run In Grace and Peace and Pardon spread 'T is like the precious Ointment shed Levit. 8.12 Upon the High Priest's hallow'd Crown Which both perfum'd his Beard and Head And thence upon his Clothes fell down Thus have I seen Clouds big with Rain First give their Dews to all the Hills And then show'r Wealth on the low Plain As Friendship benefits distills On Friendship 's Fleece God's Love brings down Blessings Judg. 6.38 39.
