     summary: ; To what purpose should I reade a Metaphysicall Lecture to Courtiers ? Truth is as Time , one in all ; yet , as Time , though but one , is distinguished into past , present , future , and euery thing hath a Time of it owne ; so is Truth variously distinguished , according to the subiects wherein it is ; This is Anselmes , cited by Aquinas ; I had rather say , Truth is as light : ( Send forth thy Truth , and thy light , saith the Psalmist ) which ( though but one in all ) yet there is one light of the Sunne , another of the Moone , another of the Starres , another of this lower ayre : There is an essentiall , and causall Truth in the Diuine vnderstanding , which the schooles call Primo-primam ; This will not bee sold , cannot be bought ; God will not part with it , the world is not worth it ; This Truth is as the Light in the body of the Sunne . There is an intrinsecall or formall truth in things truly existing ; For , Being and True are conuertible ; and Saint Austen rightly defines Verum est illud quod est ; All this created Truth in things , is deriued exemplarily , and causally , from that increated Truth of God ; this the schooles call Secundo-primam ; and it is as the light of the Sun-beames , cast vpon the Moone , and Starres .

     summary: That fiery sword did not defend it against those waters wherwith the sins of men drowned the glory of that place : neither now do I care to seek where that paradise was which we lost , I know where that Paradise is , which we must care to seeke ; and hope to finde ; As man was the image of God , so was that earthly Paradise an image of heauen ; both the images are defaced , both the first paterns are eternall : No sooner doth Abels blood speake vnto God , then God speaks to Cain ; There is no wicked man to whom God speakes not , if not to his eare , yet to his heart : what speech was this ? Not an accusation , but an inquiry , yet such an enquiry as would infer an accusation , God loues to haue a sinner accuse himselfe , and therefore hath he set his deputy in the brest of man , neither doth God loue this , more then nature abhors it : Cain answers stubbornly : The very name of Abel wounds him no lesse , then his hand had wounded Abel : Consciences that are without remorse , are not without horror : wickednes makes men desperate ; the murderer is angry with God , as of late for accepting his brothers oblation , so now for listening to his blood .

     summary: It is good , some-times , for the delicate riche man to look into the poor mans cupboard : and seeing God in mercy gives him not to knowe their sorrowe by experience , to knowe it yet in speculation : This shall teache him more thankes to God , more mercy to men , more contentment in himselfe . 18 Such as a mans prayer is for another , it shall be in time of his extreamity for himselfe : For , though he loue himselfe more then others , yet his apprehensiō of God is alike for both .

     summary: Even here below there are degrees , as of bodily , so of spirituall , sight : The newly recovered blind man saw men like trees , the eyes of true sense see men like men ; The illuminated eyes of Elisha , and his servant , saw Angels , invironing them ; Saint Stephens eyes saw heaven opened , and Iesus standing at the right hand of God : It is all one for a beast to take upon him to judge of matter of discourse ; and for a Philosopher to determine of matters of faith : Reason was not given to man for nought , even that can impart unto us something concerning God , but not enough .

Iustice must doe it for vs. Both Iustice , and Peace , are from the throne ; Peace is the Kings Peace ; and Iustice descends from Soueraignty by commission ; Let me haue leaue to say with the princely Prophet ( a word that was too good for the frequent text of a Pope ) Diligite iustitiam qui iudicatis terram .

     summary: Submit your selves to every Ordinance of man for the Lords sake ; and therefore should be convinced in themselves , of that awe , and duty , which they ow to Soveraignty , and know and resolve to obey God in men , and men for God. In all lawfull marriages , it is God that joyns the hands and hearts of the Married . How dare man then undoe the work of God upon devises of his own ? Had the Lord ever said , If thy wife be a wilfull mis-beleever , rid thy hands of her ; this separation were just ; but now that his charge is clean contrary , what an impious sauciness is it to dis-joyn those whom God hath united ? As therefore , it is not in the power of any third person , upon any whatsoever pretence , violently to break the sacred bond of Marriage ; so neither may the husband or wife enthral each other by a wilfull desertion ; whether upon pretext of religion , or any secular occasion ; In which cause what is to be don must come under a further disquisition ; Certainly it was never the intention of the holy and wise God , by vertue of that which was ordained for mans comfort and remedy of sin , to binde him to a remedilesse misery ; which must necessarily fall out , if upon the departure of an unbeleeving or hereticall yoke-fellow , the relict party must be tyed up to a perpetuall necessity of either containing , ( if he can ) or , if he can not , of burning ; The wise Doctor of the Gentiles well fore-saw the dangerous inconvenience that must needs hereupon ensue , and hath given order for prevention , accordingly .

Withall , I must add that the devout soul stands not alwaies in need of such outward monitors , but findes within it selfe , sufficient incitements to raise up it self to a continuall minding of God ; and makes use of them accordingly ; and , if at any time , being taken up with importunate occasions of the world , it finds God missing but an hour , it chides it selfe for such neglect , and sets it self to recover him with so much more eager affection : as the faithfull spouse in the Canticles , when she finds him whom her soul loved , withdrawn from her for a season , puts her self into a speedy search after him , and gives not over till shee have attained his presence .

O the deep humiliation of God , manifested in the flesh , that thou , O Jesu , the God and Lord of all the Angels of heaven , shouldst in this bloody conflict with thy Fathers wrath for our sins need and receive comfort from a created ▪ Angel thy servant ▪ Whilest thou wert grapling with the powers of darkness there was no need of aid ; only after the fight Angels came , and ministred to thee ; but now , that thou must struggle under the wrath of thy Father , for mans sin , there was use of the consolation of one of those Angels , whereof thou commandest millions : O blessed Saviour , had not the face of thy heavenly Father been clouded to thee , standing in the stead of our guiltinesse , it had been no lesse then presumption in any finite power to tender thee any suggestions of comfort ; but now , alas , those beatificall beams were so for the time hid from thine eyes , and the sweet influences of light and joy arising there-from , were for that sad instant , suspended ; so as nothing appeared to thee , that while , but the darknesse of displeasure and horrour ; now therefore the comforts of a creature , could not be but seasonable and welcome ; so that thou disdainedst not to be strengthened by an Angel :

     summary: KNow now , my son , that thou art upon the ground of all consolation to thy soul , which consists in this beatificall union with thy God and Saviour , think not therefore to passe over this important mystery with some transient , and perfunctory glances ; but , let thy heart dwell upon it , as that which must stick by thee in all extremities , and chear thee up , when thou art forsaken of all worldly comforts : Do not then conceive of this union , as some imaginary thing , that hath no other being but in the brain ; whose faculties have power to apprehend , and bring home to it self , far remote substances ; possessing it self in a sort of whatsoever it conceives : Do not think it an union meerly virtuall , by the participation of those spirituall gifts and graces which God worketh in the soul ; as the comfortable effects of our happy conjunction with Christ ; Doe not think it an accidentall union in respect of some circumstances and qualities wherein we communicate with him who is God and man ; nor yet a metaphoricall union by way of figurative resemblance ; but know that this is a true , reall , essentiall , substantiall union , whereby the person of the beleever is indissolubly united to the glorious person of the Son of God ; know , that this union is not more mysticall then certain ; that in naturall unions there may be more evidence , there cannot be more truth ; neither is there so firm and close an union betwixt the soul and body , as there is betwixt Christ and the beleeving soul : for as much as that may be severed by death , but this , never Away yet with all gross carnality of conceit ; this union is true , and really existent , but yet spirituall , & if some of the Ancients have tearm'd it naturall and bodily , it hath been in respect of the subject united , our humanity , to the two blessed natures of the Son of God met in one most glorious person ; not in respect of the manner of the uniting : Neither is it the lesse reall , because spirituall . His naturall affections are set upon those things which are agreeable thereunto ; he loves beauty , fears pain and losse , rejoyces in outward prosperity , hates an enemy ; his renued affections are otherwise , and more happily bestowed ; now he loves goodnesse for its own sake ; hates nothing but sin , fears only the displeasure of a good God , rejoyces in Gods favour , which is better then life : his former thoughts were altogether taken up with vanity , and earthed in the world ; now he seeks the things above , where Christ sitteth at the right hand of God ; ( Col. 3. 1. ) Finally , he is such , as that a beholder sees nothing but man in him , but God and his soul finde Christ in him , both in his renued person and actions ; in all the degrees both of his life , and growth of his sufferings , and glory : My little children ( saith Saint Paul , Gal. 4. 19. ) of whom I travell in birth again untill Christ be formed in you .

     summary: The tenor of it , therfore is this , As we abhor the superstitious observation of Festivall days by the Papist : and detest all licentious and prophane abuse thereof , by the common sort of professors , so we think that the inestimable benefits received from God by our Lord Iesus Christs Birth , Passion , Resurrection , Ascension , and sending down of the Holy Ghost , was commendably and godly remembred at certain particular days , and times , by the whole Churches of the World , and may be also now ; therefore the Assembly ordains that every Minister shall upon these days have the commemoration of the aforesaid inestimable benefits , and make choice of severall pertinent Texts of Scripture , and frame their doctrine and Exhortations thereto , and rebuke all Superstitious observation , & licentious prophanation thereof . This makes nothing against us , who place no Holiness in the very hours , nor plead any Apostolicall injunction for days , nor tye any person , or Church to our strict Calender , but only hold it fit out of obedience to the Laws both of our Church and Kingdom , to continue a joyfull Celebration of a memorial Day to the honour of our blessed Saviour : But that other Authority which you tell me was urged to this purpose , I confess doth not a little amaze me : it was , you say , of K. James our Learned Soveraign of late & blessed memory , whose testimony was brought in before the credulous people ( not without the just applause of a Solomon-like-wisdom ) as crying down these Festivals : and in a certain Speech of his applauding the purity of the Church of Scotland above that of Geneva , for that it observed not the common Feasts of Christs Nativity & Resurrection , &c. Is it possible , that any mouth could name that wife and good King , in such a cause , whom all the world knows to have been as zealous a Patron of these Festivals , as any lived upon earth ; and if he had let fall any such Speech before he had any Down upon his chin , & whiles he was under the Ferule , what candor is it to produce it now to the contradiction of his better experience , and riper judgement :
