our warfare is accomplished that our swords are turning into plowshares and our spears into p●uning hooks This must needs be the Lords doing and it is marveious in our eyes The second thing observable in the peoples part is their acclamations to the happiness of that dayes Festival This is the day which the Lord hath made God makes every day But he makes ●o●e dayes more notable then others for his singular mercies in them which onely is the meaning of this Expression That day of Davids Instauration was such a notable day in Israel And on the like account surely the 29th day of May should have a golden Character in our K●lendars for his Majesties happy Restauration And this day should be reckoned for a good day because of the Opportunity which the King and Kingdom have joyntly to celebrate the Memorials thereof The thi●d thing observable in the peoples part is their hearty acceptation of the Kings Royal invitation to that days duty We will rejoyce and be glad in it Days of thanksgi●ing for such mercies as these should be days of rejoycing and gladness When King Joash was restored to his Crown by means of his Aunt Jehosheba who had kept him from being murdered with the rest of the Seed Royal by Athalia the text saith All the people of the land rejoyced 2 King 11. 20. ●t is on all hands agreed that such a time as this is a time of joy and gladness Onely let me beseech you to see your rejoycing be with sobriety not breaking out into sinful intemperance to the dishonor of him who hath wrought these things for you Let your rejoycing be a rejoycing in the Lord such as becometh saints who mind nothing more then the bringing honour to God by the joy which they express for mercies of any kind which they receive from God And last of all see that your joy and gladness for this dayes mercie be seconded with Charity to the Poor Make the bellies of the poor to rejoyce with you that their loins may bless you and that they may be able to call it a good day to them as well as to their King and those of greater ability The last thing observable in the peoples part is their humble hearty and seasonable supplications to God for the prosperity of the King and Kingdom Each man is brought in making this his prayer O Lord I besecch thee there 's the humility of it and this repeated again Save I beseech thee O Lord O Lord I beseech thee send prosperity there 's the heartiness of it The words may be rendered I beseech thee save I beseech thee O Lord O Lord I beseech thee send prosperity I beseech thee The word which is here rendred now 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in the T. being sometimes of the same force with the other that is rendered I beseech thee But take it as it is here fitly rendered Save now prosper now there 's the seasonableness of it With such humble hearty and earnest supplications for the King and Kingdom let every one of us follow the Lord this day and henceforwards Let every one of us have his Hosanna up this day as well as his Hallelujah In the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 most humble and earnest manner let us ply the throne of grace for the continuance and improvement of this blessing to us Now now is the time to strike in with God Save now I beseech thee O Lord I beseech thee prosper now We could not look that God should answer our prayers in this kind before The nation was set upon a wrong bottom We could not look then that God should hear us so long as we were so much out of the way Now that the Lord settled the Kingdom upon Foundations of righteousness again we may more rationally expect better success in our prayers for peace and truth and salvation to our King and Kingdom And therefore Now if ever follow the Lord with continual prayers for a blessing upon the King Church and State that these prosperous beginnings may have good proceedings and an happy conclusion that the hearts of none may be made sad but all may rejoyce in this days mercy Now if ever ply the King of Heaven with your prayers that this may be a lasting settlement improved by his Majesty and the whole Kingdom to the honour of Gods name the securing of the purity and power of Religion and the happy concord and unity of all that fear the Lo●d● and to this let all the people say Amen FINIS
