themselves in their Studies of noble Sciences : Cassidorus calls it the Crown and Lustre of the Majesty of Princes, as of a far greater Lustre in a Crown than precious Stones, and more Excellent than the best of Jewels.
This Nobleness of Mind has not a little contributed to the good Management of their Affairs; thereby evincing that they were capable to Execute such Matters as were fitting for their Grandeur.
In the Picture of Cæsar, standing upon a Globe, he is seen holding a Sword in one Hand and a Pair of Scales in the other, with this Motto, ON BOTH SIDES CÆSAR; whereby we are taught, that in Government an illumin- ated Judgment, as well as the Use of Arms, was neces- sary : Therefore it was very pertinently said by the Ancients, Good Learning is Silver in the common People, Gold in the Nobles, but in the Princes precious Stones : Yea, the Holy Scriptures exalts them yet above all those Excellencies ; so Wisdom in such Persons is glorifying her Government, as they are thereby glorified.
I having the Honour and Happiness to know Your Excellency, not only in your Chief Government of these American Provinces, but also as being endued with the noble Attributes of a zealous Lover of noble Sciences and Languages ; thereby continually animating Your great Soul to a further Progress in sound Knowledge, both of Divine and Temporal Matters, to the greater Lustre of Your Excellency and Advancement in Repu- tation and Grandeur.
So that the Greatness of Soul of your deceased Father revives in you, who exceeded in all what may be called Learning, many of his Cotemporaries, and as such was highly esteemed and loved by Foreigners, as also for his Zeal for the true Religion, manifested as the Flower and Lustre of Pious Men, when the Mystery of Iniquity was in Travel and brought forth Vanity, at the Time when his Honour published his History of
65
the Reformation ; and shewed himself moreover, with many others, a vigilant Defender of that blessed Con- stitution in Church and State, whereof we now enjoy the pleasant Fruits; which will cause him to be admired by our Posterity in many Ages, and therefore to live forever in the Remembrance of us and ours.
How just is then the Oppinion of such who are assured hereof, and have the Honour to know Your Excellency, and have spied out Your innate Love to Learning, and that Your Excellency may be numbered among those that are said to Patrizare, I mean to suc- ceed their renowned Parents in their excellent Virtues. Aristotle said once, It is likely that those are better that draw their Pedigree from the Good. To that End we read in Horace,
Fortes creantur Fortibus, & Bonis. Est in Juvencis, est in Equis Partum Virtus : nec imbellem feroces Progenerunt Aquillæ Collumbam.
Your Excellency honoured me with your Presence when I treated of The Apointment of the Powers of this World, by the Divine Jesus ; on the occasion of Your Excel- lency's treating with the Five Nations of Indians, upon Prov. VIII, 14,-16. Doing me the Honour to desire that Sermon of me; far from it that I should have formed the least Thoughts that would have been unwilling to shew my Readiness to satisfy Your Excellency, that, on the contrary, I not only concluded to dedicate the same to your Excellency, but also to joyn thereunto Solomons Coronation and Exaltation to the Throne, on Occasion of his Majesty King George's Accession to the Crown and Throne of Great Britain ; upon 1 Reg. I, 36,-40. A Matter brought forth from the sincere Inclination of my Heart, which I have to our present Sovereign Lord GEORGE, by the Grace of GOD, King of Great Britain, and my Desire for the Establishing the Protestant Being. A happy Esta-

66
blishment, which we are to look upon as a happy Con- sequence and Effect of the Actions of the great and prevoyant King William the third, of glorious Memory, and his faithful Ministers of State, who certainly effected it plura Concilio quam Vi. An Establishment, neverthe- less, which we ought peculiarly to ascribe to the Provi- dence of the most High. So that we must acknowl- edge, that this great Event depends more on the divine Council than on the Power or Wisdom of Men.
Hereunto I have added, The Scaffold of Felonious Traitors against their lawful Sovereign Lord George, King of Great Britain, erected and exposed to View ; upon Psal. LXII, 3,-7. In Expectation that this Sermon would be no less pleasant to Your Excellency than the former, considering Your Love for the Kings Happiness and Zeal for the Commonwealth. They who designed to dethrone their lawful Sovereign King GEORGE, are de- ceived in their Enterprize, and all their Designs are fallen out to their Shame. A Prove of the horrid Per- versness of Antichristian Malignants, wickedly designing to change the Protestant Religion into Papal Tyranny.
For the rest, with this Dedication I do express my Acknowledgment and Esteem for Your Excellency's penetrating Judgment in noble Sciences ; as also my Duty to You, as my Superiour Governour ; my Desire is that they may serve as a Token of my Gratitude for the especial Favours wherewith Your Excellency has honoured me during my Abode here.
And my Prayer to the Alsufficient God is, That he endue Your Excellency with more Wisdom, and make You more and more capable to execute those high Powers of Go- vernment, under the Divine Providence entrusted unto You by His Majesty, and that according to the best Policy, to the Wellbeing of Church and State ; and that especially the Af- fairs of the Kingdom, which are here of great Consequence, may, under Your good Government, be happy and flourish.
67
To which End the Lord grant you Wise, Faithful and Wellmeaning Counsellors, to make Your Government the more praiseworthy, and the Inhabitants happy and prosperous.
Yea, the Lord crown Your Person, Government and Family with Grace and Honour, in Length of Days.
This Desires, Wishes and Prays, May it please Your Excellency, Your Excellency's faithful, and ready Servant in the Lord, PETRUS VAN DRISSEN.
