conspiracy by some notice that we had given unto us of their meeting at Yeomans his house about an houre or two before the plot was to have beene put in exeeution which was to have been upon the ringing of the Bells about one or two a clocke in the morning Having seized on Master Robert Yeomans with his company and after Butcher with his company the necke of the plot being broken within the Towne the enemy without whose designe as it should seeme depended much upon it having showne themselves upon the Downe the next morning after two or three shot of Canons made against them from our worke upon Brandon hill they wheeled off and so God put a Hook into their nostrills and turned them back againe for which great mercy of his in delivering us from a dangerous invasion of the enemy without and from a damnable conspiracy of some traytorous inhabitants within the City both this towne and the whole kingdome so far as it is concerned in the preservation of this City hath great cause to give thanks to Almighty God unto whom alone the glory thereof is due This is a short narration of the late detestable and bloody Plot against this City whereof no doubt more hereafter will appeare the matter being yet under examination onely one writing which was found in Robert Yeomans his house I thought fit to adde which was as followeth All Inhabitants of the Bridge the High-street and Cornestreete keepe within your doores upon perill of your lives All other inhabitants of this Citie that stand for the King the Protestant Religion and the Liberties of this City let them forthwith appeare at the High Crosse with such armes as they have for the defence of their lives their wives and children and follow their Leaders for the same defence There was also a Protestation taken amongst them to this effect that they would oppose to the utmost of their power all Forces whatsoever that were or should be amongst them or that should come in without the consent of the King Iehovah Iireh 2 PETER 2. 9. The Lord knoweth how to deliver the Godly out of Temptation and to reserve the unjust to the day of judgement to be punished THis passage containes two consectaries deduced from the 5 6 7. Verses the Apostle had advised Christians To take heed unto the sure word of Prophecy Chap. 1. Vers 19. as being a light shining in a darke place not from a private delivery by the will of man but by the motion of the holy Ghost Vers 20 21. withall he foretells Chap. 2. 1. that as there had been false Prophets among the People so there should be false Teachers among them whose practise he declares Vers 1 2 3. and their judgement Vers 3. which he confirmes by three instances 1 Of Gods not sparing the Angels that sinned Ver. 4. 2 His bringing in the flood upon the world of ungodly but saving Noah a Preacher of Righteousnesse Vers 5. 3 His overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and delivering just Lot Vers 6 7. From these instances he inferres by an Induction two rules to be observed in the course of Gods proceedings First That he knoweth how to deliver the Godly out of temptation Secondly That he knoweth how to reserve the unjust to the day of judgement to be punished The particle {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} for if Vers 4. shewes these instances to be brought as a medium to prove a conclusion and the argument is thus If God even then when he cast the Angels that sinned downe to hell yet preserved the guiltlesse Angels and even then when he brought the deluge on the wicked world saved Noah a Preacher of righteousnesse and even then when he overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah delivered just Lot sic in caeteris then it followes as in my Text The Lord knoweth how to deliver the Godly out of Temptation c. The former of these two Consectaries I have chosen this day to insist on being a day set apart for the commemoration of a late deliverance of this City from a blood and abominable conspiracy within it wherein God hath added one more memorable Instance to verifie this rule of Saint Peter The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of Temptation Two conclusions may from hence be gathered First That the godly while they live among unjust men upon the earth be in Temptation Deliverance from Temptation presupposeth a being in Temptation Secondly That God knowes how to deliver them though they know not Noah and Lot knew not how they should be delivered but God knew how to do it To confirme the former of these we need not many Scriptures it being proved by continuall experience yet I shall produce some Luk. 22. 28. Our Lord Christ saith of himselfe Yee are they which have continued with me in my Temptations Our Lord Christ when he lived on earth was in continuall Temptations and what was Christs estate is the estate of all Christians comformably Saint Paul of himselfe Act. 20. 19. saith That he served the Lord with all humility of mind and with many teares and Temptations which befell him by the lying in waite of the Jewes and Heb. 11. 37. among other things that befell the Saints it is said They were tempted Temptation then is one of those things that are the lot of the godly I shall endeavour to open this truth by inquiring first who are to be accounted godly secondly what temptation they are under thirdly why it is so with them In answer to the first we may take notice that the word we translate godly in Grecke {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} is as much as in English right worshippers So they that be right worshippers are godly persons the Etymology fitly expresseth the thing Now by worship is meant the honour and service that is done unto a God For godlinesse implies religious service and all that religious service we performe to any thing under the notion of a God that is worship And it is Mediate or Immediate mediate service is that which is directed to man yet by reason of respect unto God For this is a cleare truth that even all the duties of righteousnesse we performe to men if they be done in obedience to God they are part of his service and worship not in respect of the matter wherein but in respect of the motive by which they are performed Thus when a servant doth discharge his duty faithfully to his Master as Doing the will of God from the heart hee is said to doe service to the Lord Ephes. 6. 5 6 7. Colos. 3. 24. Every servant that obeyes his master every child that honours his father every souldier that obeyes his Commander out of conscience to God not for wages portion applause or the like respects onely therein hee worships God Immediate worship is that which is directed onely to God And this hath by use engrossed the name of Worship Now when this
