practise no disloialtie speake no disloialty thinke no disloialty no not in thy least thought in thy secret chamber for besides that the fowles of the aire will bewraie it and the clowdes of thy discontented countenance discover it as I told you of late there is ever a progresse in sinne it neuer stands stil it stands not at one stay but passeth secretly from evill thoughts to ill wordes and from ill words to fowle actions and then it is ripe and calleth for his punishment And surelie God is verie iealous of the honour of Princes and least we should in anie sorte despise them and bee disobedient vnto them because wee be all made of one mould of the earth as the daies of the yeare of one sunne in the firmament and therefore are all pares in esse naturae equall one to another in nature that there might be a difference in esse merali in civile being God honoreth Princes with his owne name so that they are called Gods and Gods annointed and the sonnes of the most high he calleth them by his owne name and furnisheth them with divine and supernatural qualities 1 Prov 16 For there is divinatio in labijs regis divination in the lips of the king Prov. 16. so that they do often foresee forespeake 1 Sam. 10 and foretell things to come and it is noted in the first kings that ever God instituted for as soone as Samuell powred the viol of oile vpon Saule he was changed into another man and the spirit of God falling vpon him hee did prophecie among the Prophets and as soone as David was annointed by Samuell the scripture saith Directus est spiritus domini in David à die illa deinceps 1. Sam 16 1. Sam. 16. The spirite of the Lorde came vpon David from that daie forwardes and when Caiphas who was the high Priest sitting in the Consistorie saide Expedit quod vnus moriatur pro populo It is expedient that one should die for the people he said not that of himselfe saith the text sed cum erat pōtifex ill us anni prophetavit but in that he was the high Priest that yeare he did prophecie Secondly there is a certaine depth in the hart of a king 2 Prov. 25. VVhich none can seeke out even higher then the heaven deeper then the earth Prov. 25. Thirdly they haue gifts of healing incureable diseases 3 which are miraculous and aboue nature so that when Vespasian was seene to performe such a cure the people cōcluded he should be Emperour as Tacitus notes Tacitus Fourthly 4 they haue power absolute without limitation accountable only to God for their actions Fifthly they haue authoritie to blesse their dutifull and loyall subiects and they are blessed 5 authoritie to curse their subiects disobedient they are cursed with temporal curse as I could prooue both by reason and examples out of the scriptures if the time would permit And as God is iealous of their honour so much more of their safeties and therefore he sets a guarde of Angels about them He keepeth them as the apple of his eie Psal 17. He hides them vnder the shaddow of his wings he will not haue them touched Touch not my annointed Psalm 105. Everie touch with hart with hand with tongue is treason laesa maiestas the maiestie of the Prince is wounded by it and therfore David was sorrie at the hart when he cut but the lap of Saules garment 1. Sam. 24.6 Finally he revengeth their wrongs before his own treasons against thē before blasphemies against himselfe propter bonum vniversi for the good of mankind and more severely then his owne with temporal punishment If I should instaunce in these giftes and graces wherewithal God hath plentifully endowed her excellent maiestie and stand to amplifie the wonderful depth of the wisdome of her hart evidēt to her Coūsel in her most weightie affaires to her subiects generally in her divine speaches at every parliament to vs in particular in her excellent orations beyond admiration and imitation or this gifte of prophecie as I may call it whereby shee hath foreseene foretold and if I may so saie forespoken that which an ordinarie wisdome could not imagine or her manifold blessings on well deserving subiectes confirmed as it may seeme by God to them and their posterity if they walke in loialtie and true obedience or the supernatural cures of weake diseased people amounting to the number of three or foure hundred a yeare or the divine providēce of God in defending her as the apple of his eie from so many treasons conspiracies rebellions at home abroade it might be thought by some of the maligners of this festivity that I stand more vpon the praises of my earthly mistres then vpon the honor and glory of my heavenly Lorde and Master Wherfore leaving these things to your particular cōsideratiōs let vs conclude with that other part of St. Paules coūsel with honoring praising magnifying God the auctor and preserver of this great blessing because no ceremony was ever more acceptable to him then oblation and sacrifice and sacrificia legalia sacrifices of the Lawe be abrogated let vs offer to him our spiritual sacrifice First our almes the workes of mercie charity which is the oblation of our temporal substāce St. Paule calles it Hostiam acceptam placentem Deo a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing vnto God Phil. 4. Phil. 4. Secondly the humbling and mortifying of our bodies which is the oblation of our corporal substance Rom. 12. St. Paul calles it Rom. 12.

As we with the Priestes in this Psalme doe benedicere populo ex domo dei blesse the people of the house of God celebrating his benignity saying Deus dominus illuxit nobis God is our Lord and hath as this day illightened vs with the light of the Gospel and as it is in the olde translation doe constituere diem solennem in condensis so that the people of God come togither in densitate plebis as Lyra cals it in great abundance and vsque ad cernua altaris so that the Church is filled even to the doores So let al good subiects ioyne with this people in celebrating this day and sing Haec est dies quam fecit dominus exultemus latemur in ea This is the day which the Lord hath made let vs reioyce and be glad therein O domine da salutem O domine da prosperitatem O Lord send her salvation O Lord send her prosperity Non moriatur sed vivat let her not die but liue that shee may declare thy wonderous workes to many generations that wee solemnizing many of these daies to the glory of thy name and comfort and ioy of our owne harts may after this triumphing trivmph and reioyce with thee in body and soule in thy everlasting kingdome through Iesus Christ our Lord to whō with the Father and the holy Ghost be all power honour and glory both now and ever Amen FINIS
