their Kingdom is not of this world 1 Cor. 2. 6 8. True it is that godly men as David c. may be temporall Princes but not Quatenus godly men and Christs seed And we had need to clear this for great temporall Monarchs are very fearfull of any claime to their Kingdomes or medling with their Titles Our Chronicles mention one Burdet a Merchant of London dwelling at the sign of the Crown in Cheapside in the dayes of our King Edward the fourth Anno 1483. who jestingly said to his Son that he would leave him heire to the Crown meaning the sign of the Crowne where he lived for which he was apprehended and within four hours hanged drawne and quartered for so saying Kings love not that men should Pulcheria the vertuous and discreet sister of Theodosius the second seeing her brother the Emperor to signe many writings without reading them caused a writing drawn and tendered wherein he consigned into her hands his wife Eudoxia formerly before Baptisme call'd Athenais a poor woman daughter of Leontig who seeking at the Court for Justice in a private cause took the Emperors affections was baptized and married him Eudoxia said it was too great a game to jest and play upon Diadems though the good Emperor much reformed by it jest with their Crowns how fearfully startled was Herod when he heard tell of some Wisemen asking for one that was borne King of the Jewes Mat. 2. 1 2 3 indeed worse afraid then hurt the Saints are not by vertue of their birth from Christ temporall but spirituall Kings though carnall men mens slander is very common that Gods people rebell and aime only to be temporall Kings Nehem. 6. 6 7. But know that it 's far better to be a spirituall Prince with God then meerly a temporall Prince over men Which will appear 1. Because the greatest Kings on earth have usually more crosses on earth then externall comforts there is a great vanity in the chiefest person and places on earth Psal 62. 9. The world hath now stood above 5000. years and the greater half of this time was spent ere the Jewes had any setled King at last about the year of the world 3761 God gave them a King Saul by name and there were but three Kings that governed and ruled over all the twelve Tribes viz. Saul David and Solomon and one of these viz. Saul came to a violent death slew himselfe though perhaps the Amalekite helped to dispatch him * If so then Saul who had been cruell to David 〈…〉 cruell to him self and he that spared the Amalekites and never prospered after is at last slain by an Amalckite 1 Sam. 15. 14 23.

In England since the coming in of the Norman William which is usually stiled the Conquest there hath been five and twenty Princes of whom nine came to a violent death and many more of those 109. Kings of Scotland I say it for this ●ad to shew what crosses and calamities do oft times attend great persons and places which cause their troubles to exceed their comforts which made Solomon complain of the vanity of vanities in all conditions Eccl. 1. before him his Father David say that he had seen an end of all perfection Psalm 19. 96. Nay see how somtimes Gods heavy hand goes out against a whole great Family or ●ine thus we find Ahab and Jezabel guilty of blood of godly Nabathe blood see what became of all that race ●nd line Ahab was shot to death by a man that shot at ●venture and timed not at him more then any other 1 King 22. 34. as he went up against Ramoth-Gilcad but it was purposely levelled fore-told and directed by God against Ahab 1 King 21. 19. as Elijah had told the King ere he went up thither so also Micaiah 1 King 22. 28. and Jezabel who was wife mother and daughter to a King even she was slain 2 King 29. 33. King Ahaziah son to Ahab never recovered of h●s fall through the Lettice 2 King 1. 2 16 17. then Ahabs other son Jehoram was King of Israel 2 King 3. 1. he goes against Ramoth-Gilead and takes it which his father Ahab could not do and having received some wounds in that service he leaves Jehu one of his Captains Commander in chief over his Army ●t Ramoth-Gilead and goes himself to be cured at Jezreel presently Jehu by Gods appointment 2 King 9. 1 2 3 7 8. c. drawes all the Army against King Jehoram his King his Master and his Master Ahabs son and slew him 2 King 9. 24 25. and that the blood of Naboth which Ahab had a hand in was a maine cause of all this appears because it 's expressed that in the same place where Naboths blood was shed both Ahabs and Iehorams blood was spilt 1 King 21. 19. and 2 King 9. 25 26. and so of Iezabel 2 King 9. 36 37.

her grave Her father King James the fifth died about the time of her birth when she was about six years old she was sent to France in great danger by winds and English ships there was an agreement 'twixt England and Scotland for a match 'twixt our King Edward the sixth and her which breaking on their part occasioned the Lord Protectors march with an English Army to Muscleborough field where much blood was shed and a Scotch Lord being taken prisoner and asked how he liked our wedding with Scotland said he liked the match well but not the woing to fetch a wife with fire and sword In France she was married young to Francis the Dolphin of France who died shortly after of a pain in his ear then was she Omnia fai nihil mihi profuit said Scverus the Emperor when he was dying and almost all the Roman Emperors untill Constantine and very many Popes after him got nothing by all their great advancement for the getting whereof they adventured life and limb and a better thing sed ut citius in tersicerentur as A●ban a wedge to cleave him and garments throw him in great dangers by Sea in her returne back to Scotland where also she found the Scots in Armes she was there married to Henry Lord Darnley son to Matthew Stuart Earle of Lenox by whom she had King Iames her husband was murthered soon after King Iames's birth she was apprehended by the States of Scotland charged with the murther and imprisoned after she escaped out of prison fled to England where she was prisoner first in one place and then another above sixteen years and then beheaded at Fotheringay-Castle in Northamptonshire she desired to be buried in France but was buried at Peterburgh aged six and forty years and yet could not rest in a grave her body was taken up again by King Iames and buried at Westminster Every Crown of Gold is lined with a Crown of Thornes who almost would take up Crowns upon these termes but spirituall Princes their comforts in life death after death exceed their crosses they have that joy that no man can take from them that will support them at the stake in the Dungeon c. 2. There is no Nation where all the Subjects are temporall Princes but all Christs true Subjects in whose hearts their own Spirit which is one of the greatest conquests Prov. 16. 32. and over afflictions Rom. 8. 37. 9. Temporall Princes be not all of one Line no not in the same Kingdome as in England somtimes the Romans ruled here somtimes the Britains then Saxons then Dane● then Normans and since the Norman William somtimes his own Race ruled here then the Plantagenets then the Tudors then the Stuarts and of the four and twenty Kings since William the Conquerors death not above seven in England that could pretend legally to succeed their next Predecessors either by lineall or collaterall Title but the Saints are all of one blood borne of the blood of God Ioh. 1. 13. of the same spirit Joh. 3. 5 6 8. 10. Some other Princes were annoynted with externall oyle though it 's generally observed that all the Kings of Israel and Judah were not anointed with oyl though Saul David Solomon and some others were nor were the Kings of Judah anointed with the holy oyl where with the High Priests were anointed and which God commanded to be made Exod. 30. 23. 33. but with common oyl though laid up in the Sanctuary The Scotch Historians say that externall anointing of their Kings never began with them ti● Popery got footing there from which they say their Nation was free many years after Christ and kept much purity in Religion and that King Edgar was the first so anointed there Anno 1098. * The French Historians tell much of the holy oyl kept at Reims yet generally acknowledge that the first King of France that was anointed was Pepin and that none of the Merovignion Line were anointed and yet their former Kings were as much and as truly Gods anointed as the later but all the Saints are Gods Anointed Psal 105. 14 15. with a supernaturall and heavenly Oyl of Grace 1 Ioh. 2. 27. The Apostle tells us Hebr. 1. 9. That Christ was anointed with the oyl of gladnesse above his fellows which notes two things 1. That all the Saints are Chri●●s fellows fellow-heirs fellow-sufferers fellow-conquerors c. 2. That they are anointed with the divine graces that Christ is only in their measure for of Christs fulnesse they receive grace for grace Ioh. 1. 16. Psal 133. ● The next thing is to shew you wherein they are Princes for as Zebah and Zalmunna said to Gideon concerning his brethren Judg. 8. 18. they each one resemble the children of a King and of this briefly 1. They are Princes by birth by the new and second birth born of the royal blood of Jesus Christ Joh. 1. 12 13. 2. They have the vast possessions of Princes * Abraham had little yet he was heir of the whole world Rom. 4 13 as before is proved Luther said that all the vast dominions of the Turk was but a scrap cast to a dog but the Saints dominions are higher larger c. 3. They have the power of Princes As a Prince hast thou power with God said Christ to Jacob Gen. 32. 28. Paul can do all things through Christ Phil. 4. 13. All things are possible to him that beleeveth Mark 9. 23. They have power * Hic homo potuit apud deum quod voluit was said of Luther Saints are the blessings of to a place Isaiah 19 24 with God so as to stop Lions mouths quench fire binde 2 King 2. 8 14 up the Sea nay binde the hands of God Exod. 32. 10. And the Queen of Scots before mentioned said that she more feared the prayers of Mr John Knox then an Army of 20000 men So said Leolin Prince of Wales of another and the Elector of Saxony of the Archbishop of Magdenburgh c. 4. They conquer as mighty Princes Death 1 Cor. 15. 55. and Hell Rom. 8. 1. and afflictions Rom. 8. 37 38. Prince of darkness Eph. 6. 12. their lusts 2 Cor. 10. 4. their hearts Prov. 16. 32. Jam. 4. 7. Rev. 2. 26 27. a greater conquest then Davids over Goliah 5. They are clothed as Princes The Queen in the Psalm was clothed with gold of Ophir yet her best clothing was within Psal 45. 9 13. They have robes that none wear but Princes the perfect merits of Christ upon them They are clothed with the Sun Rev. 12. 1. Christs long white robe Revel 19. 8. and with the sincere garment of grace within them Ezek. 16. 8. to 14. The Scripture calls Christs merits the best robe Luk. 15. 22. none but Princes wear it 6. Fed as Princes not scraps but Childrens bread Angels food fed at the Kings own Table as Mephibosheth They have meat that the world knows not of as Christ
