the three children that it shall not have power to destroy us or by taking us from it that it may not have power to reach us translating us into that paradise where no Serpent shall have power to enter so that every way hee will make good his word wee shall have whatsoever is good for us if not in our owne esteeme yet in Gods al-disposing wisdome and government and no good thing will he withhold from them that walk upright for the Lord God is a Sun and a shield Hee will give grace and glory and no good thing will he with hold from them that walk uprightly And so I have done with the explication of these words now for a word of application and so I conclude This Text of Scripture as you see hath acquainted us with some of those prime priviledges which our heavenly Father by the power of his divine prerogative of his speciall grace and favour hath given and granted and by these presents in this Text doth give and grant to all his faithfull children that endevour to walk before him in sincerity and uprightnesse of heart And that is that he will be to all such a Sun of direction and a shield of protection hee will give them grace and glory and no good thing will hee withhold from them as I have shewed you at large Now had I the way or meanes to have procured from our Gracious Soveraigne any addition to the Priviledges and Immunities of our Company and could I now present the same unto you confirmed under the broad Seale of England I should not doubt of a kinde acceptance and love for my pains Behold I have here presented you with better Priviledges under the great Seal of Heaven extracted from the most sacred and authenticall Word of God delivered unto you in his Name and as his Minister whom God the Father hath sealed Iohn 6.27 and I give you a faire assurance of all those priviledges in this Text to be conferred upon all you that will sue out your Patent for the same by the way which God requireth And if any shall yet doubt which is the right way to have his patent confirmed from the King of Heaven in this case let him looke upon the last words of this Text and they will tell you hee must walke uprightly before God And then all the priviledges in this Text are yours God hath promised them and hee will make them good God will be unto you a Sun and a shield the Lord will give grace and glory and no good thing will heo with-hold from them that walke uprightly Whereunto that I may prevaile with you to render your willing and constant obedience take this one motive to think upon when you see not me So often as you cast your eye upon the Armes of our Company and thereby are put in minde that you are free Drapers call to minde this text of Scripture and take notice that the beams of that Sun spoken of in my Text are a part of your Armes and the shield therein mentioned as a token of defence is denoted by that expression of a Soveraigne Regal power al-sufficient for protection which the three Crowns may put you in minde of and that way of Christianity wherin you are to walk in uprightnesse of heart is emblematized by the Crosse which is set as the Crest upon the head of your Armes And make you full account that these words are not words of course onely they have somewhat in them worthy your most serious consideration you see your devise is very significant and may without much strayning be drawn from this Text Think it therefore not unworthy your Meditations at convenient seasons and call to minde what God hath spoken unto you upon this Text and by it and suffer to this end a word of exhortation As you desire to be directed by the gracious beames of this heavenly Sun mentioned in our Text in all your fair undertakings whereunto your lawfull callings shall ingage you in your temporall affaires As you desire the comfortable direction of this Sun to guide you into all truth in things that concerne your spirituall estate As you desire to be preserved from such erroneous courses as your owne darke mistakings might expose you unto whether in the necessaries of this life that your credit break not here or in the eternall comforts of another life that you perish not there everlastingly Have an eye to the directions of this Sun of righteousnesse in whom are hid all the treasures of true wisdome and saving knowledge Let the Lord God be your Sunne As ever you trust to finde the protection of this heavenly shield to defend you from all oppositions in your lawfull way seeke daily direction from him who is your Sun and walke in the wayes whereunto hee shall direct you as ever remembring that he hath not promised to be a shield to any but to those who are carefull to follow the Sun of his directions nor will he be a shield but where he is a Sunne As you expect to obtain true saving grace seeke it of him who is the onely giver of it and seek it in the carefull and frequent use of his holy Ordinances wherin hee hath promised to give it For the Lord giveth grace And as you expect glory in the life to come seek it by an holy course a course of holines in this life present in the Kingdom of grace For the Lord giveth grace and glory And last of all as you expect that God shall withhold no good thing from you which his divine wisdome shall see necessary and fitting for you as conducing to Grace here and Glory hereafter walk uprightly and be sincere in his service For unto such onely are these heavenly priviledges appropriated in my Text For the Lord God is a Sun and a shield c. And that in so doing wee may so finde Let us pray as the Church hath most piously instructed us MOst mercifull Lord wee beseech thee to cast the bright beames of thy light upon thy Church that being enlightned by the doctrine of thy truth it may attaine to thy everlasting gifts And because the frailty of man without thee cannot but fall keep us alwayes by thy helpe and lead us to all things profitable to our salvation preserve thy houshold the Church in continuall godlinesse that through thy protection it may be free from all adversities and devoutly given to serve thee in good works to the glory of thy name through Iesus Christ our Lord. To whom with the Father and the holy Ghost be honour and glory now and for evermore Amen Page 4. for Objection read Observation FINIS Feb. 16. 1638. Imprimatur Guil. Bray
