Thirdly, he is meek and lowly; so the Prophet presents him as the object of Scions joy, in the days of his humiliation,1 When he came riding upon an Ass, and upon a colt the foal of an Ass. And so we may present him to Zion still in all the times of his exaltation, reigning upon his throne, or riding upon the chariot of his greatest glory. He keeps no severe distance from his people, nor debtors them from suing to him by a clouded, angry brow; smiles and sweetness sits upon his face; he is (Deliciae Sanctorum) the delight of Saints, and tenderness it self to all his people.

And so we may present him to Sion still in all the times of his exaltation, raigning upon his throne, or riding upon the chariot of his greatest glorie. He keeps no severe distance from his people, nor deterrs them from suing to him by a clouded, angry brow; smiles and sweetnesse sits upon his face; he is (Deliciae Sanctorum) the delight of Saints, and tendernesse it selfe to all his people.
Fourthly, he is a peaceable Prince, and more then that the very Prince of Peace. He is not only disposed for Peace, but he hath peace at his dispose. Kings of the earth command war; but they Treat for peace. But if Christ say Peace to the Sea; The winds will obey him And if Christ say peace to the sword, the war will obey him. If he will give quietness, who then can make trouble, whether 1it be for a Nation or for a man only.
