away the wicked spirit; euen as he∣retofore his great Grandsier Dauid, restrayned the intemperance of Saul. Attend besides how seriously the Angels accommodate their voyce to the sound of the harp; that euen looke what they see IESVS to doe for our good, they endeauour to doe also, studying to accommodate themselues to our occasions.
1. Point. Consider IESVS han∣ging and nayled on the Crosse see∣med to haue caryed the figure of a harp with him, which being playd on, gaue forth as it were seauen sounds, very ful of hidden mysteries and the first stroke truly of his my∣stical harpe was: Father forgiue them, for they know not what they doe.a 1.1 When he held vp and staid the ma∣king of the world from falling, being then on the point to demolish quite, and with it's ruine ready to

swallow the impious Parricides of God. But, o most vnlucky stroke? in the last streyne a string broke and snapt asunder, and the soule & body of the most blessed IESVS being dissolued, the whole harmony of Dauids harp was vtterly marr'd, which yet a litle after the parts being resumed and handsomely vnited to∣gether, so newly raysed againe sung forth a triumphal song.
3. Point. Consider when IESVS is present what great festiuityes are made, what diuine rayes doe shine, what plenty of graces are powred forth, and what true and solid plea∣sures abound: but in the contrary IESVS being absent what hydeous darknes ouer-casts the minds, whole squadrons of calamities, troubles, desperations, feares, mourning, te∣diousnes slouth, molestations, and what not? come rushing in by troops.
