Must it not have filled them with astonishment, when they saw that the treacherous deep really upheld his weight? Surely their eyes deceived them. And what of Peter himself? was not he astonished? No one, I will venture to say, was more astonished than he. It was certainly too good to be true, and yet it was true. Peter actually walked upon the waves! There is no mistake about it; it is so recorded. Are we not all agreed in describing it as a most wonderful walk? Well, now let us ask ourselves this question--Is this element of wonder apparent in our Christian walk? Has our walk as Christians ever caused either ourselves or those who have witnessed it a feeling of surprise? Has the life we have been living a right, in any sense, to be called a wonderful life? If not, have we not reason to fear that it is sadly deficient as a presentation of a life of faith? Though we profess to be united to a Saviour whose name is Wonderful, yet by our own confession there is nothing out of the ordinary in our lives at all. Oh, when shall we understand that we have a right to expect wonders from a wonderful Christ? But again, why was this walk of Peter's so amazing? Obviously, because it was 2. A supernatural walk. This is what imparted to it the element of wonder. It was beyond Peter's natural powers. No one had ever heard of a mortal man walking upon the sea. The thing was impossible. So impossible did it seem to the ancients, that when the Egyptians wished to represent the impossible in the hieroglyphic language, the device they adopted was that of a man walking on the waves, since nothing more impossible to man could be imagined than this. Yes, it is a true...

Book Description
The Progresses, Processions, and Royal Entries of King Charles I, 1625-1642 is the first study to focus on the history, and the political and cultural significance, of the travels and public profile of Charles I. As well as offering a much fuller account of the king's progresses and Caroline progress entertainments than currently exists, this volumes throws fresh light on the question of Charles I's accessibility to his subjects and their concerns, and the part that this may, or may not, have played in the political conflicts which culminated in the English civil wars and Charles's overthrow. Drawing on extensive archival research, the history opens with an introduction to the early modern culture of royal progresses and public ceremonial as inherited and practiced by Charles I. Part I explores the question of the king's accessibility further through case studies of Charles's three 'great' progresses in 1633, 1634, and 1636. Part II turns attention to royal public ceremonial culture in Caroline London, focusing on Charles's spectacular royal entry to the city on 25 November 1641. More widely travelled than his ancestors, Progresses reveals a monarch who was only too well aware of the value of public ceremonial and who did not eschew it, even if he was not always willing to engage in ceremonial dialogue with his subjects or able to deploy the propaganda power of public display as successfully as his Tudor and Stuart predecessors.
