  For he composed the Psalme when hee carried the Arke to Ierusalem : and before that , hee had smote the Philistims twice , and made all at peace , 2. Sam. 5. A time of Peace ? Why then a man should thinke there is least need to pray for it . No : But behold , a sonne is borne vnto thee , which shall be a man of peace , for I will giue him rest from all his enemies round about , therefore his name is Salomon , and I will send peace and quietnesse vpon Israel in his dayes , 1. Chron. 22. And had not Dauid then great reason to call vpon his people , euen all of all sorts to pray for that Peace , which God would giue by Salomon ?

summary:
  Good God , what preposterous thrift is this in men , to sowe vp euery small rent in their owne Coat ; and not care what rents they not onely suffer , but make in the Coat of Christ ? What is it ? Is Christ only thought fit to weare a torne garment ? Or can wee thinke that the Spirit of Vnity which is one with Christ , wil not depart to seeke warmer cloathing ? Or if he be not gone already , why is there not vnity , which is where ere he is ? And yet no worse then Dauid was King , when this Cunning was vsed , 2 Sam. 15. Vnity then both in Church and Common Wealth is so good , that none but the worst willingly breake it : And euen they are so farre ashamed of the breach , that they must seeme holyer then the rest , that they may bee thought to haue a iust cause to breake it .
