THE XXVII SERMON. Our help be in the name of God &c. It is written as followeth in the third Chapter of the Canticle of Canticles, the 9. and 10. verses.
9 King Solomon made himself a Coach of the wood of Lebanon. 10 He made the pillars thereof of silver, and the bottom of gold, and the covering of purple, and the in-side was adorned with the dilections of the Daughters of Jerusalem.
9 King Salomon made himselfe a Coch of the wood of Libanon. 10 Hee made the pillers thereof of siluer, and the bottome of goolde, and the couering of purple, and the in-side was adorned with the dilections of the Daughters of Ierusalem.
1 The Coach which is here adjoined unto Solomons bed signifieth unto us, how the Church hath never had any place of certain residency and abode on earth, there to be tied without exception. 2 The King himself hath built this Coach aswell under the old as the new covenant by those chosen workmen of his, without being ever lawful for men to ad thereto, or change any thing, or else to take away any thing in respect of the body of this Coach, which is the doctrine. 3 Neither in respect of the charges thereunto belonging, neither in regard of the manner of guiding and conducting it. 4 A more ample declaration, that God never gave over the universal government of this Coach to any one certain place, no not to Jerusalem it self without exception. 5 The tyranny of the false Church of Rome over all Christendom. 6 The Cedar wherewith this Coach is built representeth the sure continuance thereof against all the storms and tempests of the world. 7 The Prophets and Apostles are the pillars of silver of this Coach maintained and preserved by the faithful Doctors and Pastors their successors, and in what sense this word of foundation is attributed unto them. 8 Jesus Christ is the bottom of gold of this Coach, bearing up and sustaining the pillars themselves. 9 The covering of purple of this Coach, is the heavenly power of God, who covereth it and defendeth it from above. 10 A reprehension of them who have their recourse to any thing besides. 11 The testimonies of Gods love and dilection contained in the sacred histories are the ornaments and picture tables of the in-side of this Coach on every side.
