that patterne consisting of sound words being so in themselues as likewise able to worke and preserue soundnesse in thee To the knowledge whereof thou camest by the writings especiallie that thou hast receiued at my hands And know thou that this patterne cannot any wayes else bee obserued but by the aide and helpe of that faith and loue the which God the father hath shed abroad in thy heart not for any desert of thine but through his meere mercie hath confer'd them on thee by Christ Iesus Where as Paul hath disswaded and perswaded and now Doctrines dedi●●d giues Timothie a rule by which he may be directed in his proceedings we first note from his example that Perswasion and disswasion are to be accompanied with direction Doct. 1. 1 Cor. 12. vlt. Heb. 6. 1. 1 Tim. 6. 2 It s not sufficient for a man to say doe this and not that but he must lay downe rules and helpes whereby he with whom he is to deale may be inabled for the dutie For otherwise a man will either stand still and doe nothing Reas 1. or if he doe not so yet he shall worke out of all good order Againe else the minister should not deliuer the counsell of Acts 20. 27. God guilty should he be of the peoples blood and so consequentlie without sound comfort This correcteth the hot and fierie spirits of some who like Vse 1. an vnskilfull rider be alwayes spurring but neuer guiding They cry why will ye doe that and wherefore doe you this but doe not giue them direction how to auoyd the one or performe the other And so it fals out that the one hath no profit the other as little comfort Let vs then learne as to perswade and disswade so to direct Vse 2. others God willed that Moses should build him a tabernacle yet he gaue him a patterne how to be directed in the perfecting of the same So let ministers haue an eye to this that their people may doe all things in comelinesse and in order Keepe thou the patterne c. As these words be a direction we gather that The best way to maintaine the puritie of Religion is to haue a Doct. 2. patterne Exod. 20. Ier. 6. 16. Gal. 6. 16. Psal 119. 9. For God at the first writ the patterne in mans heart by the Reas 1. Adam had the the law writ in his heart at the creation Rom. 2. 15. which he might haue beene kept from all sinne and impuritie as may be thus proued For 1. The Gentiles many yeares after had some remainders of the law by which they were guided in their hearts the which could not haue beene had it not beene engrauen in Adams at the creation 2. Those to whom the Lord will shew mercy he hath promised that he will put his law in their inward parts and write it in their hearts Ier. 31. 33. Heb. ● 10. 3. We are commanded to write it vpon the tables of our hearts Pro. 3. 3. and the Prophet saith He hid the word in his heart Psal 119. 11. 4. Euery creature had the rule created with him and in him whereby he was to be guided in all his actions But man sinning broke the patterne and obliterated these excellent rules that were perfect in him at his creation And if the rule was not within him where was it or why should God guide all his other creatures by an internall precept and not man And euerie good man may find this in himselfe and see it in others that the more holy they grow the more shall they find the word of God imprinted in their hearts And doubtlesse when that a man is perfectlie sanctified which will not be here he shall haue the law absolutelie 1 Cor. 13. 9. 10. renewed and engrauen in him so that in this sence the word may be said to abide for euer And here we might adde the iudgement of the Hebrew Pirke R Eliezer in Gen. 2. doctors and the most that euer writ for the further confirmation of this that Adam at his creation had the law writ in his heart and was to haue beene guided by it The reason I stand to proue this is in that those who hold that Christs actiue and passiue obedience doe not concurre both of them to mans iustification seeke to maintaine that Adam had no law in him or out of him to guide him except the trees of life and death good and euill But certainly this is a farre fetcht shift and as farre from the truth 1. For the trees were as Sacraments to seale life or death vpon the breach or obseruation of the law as ours be Adam broke the morall law 2. When Adam ate the forbidden fruite did he not breake all the Decalogue 3. Sathan was subtile and tempted Adam to breake the kings seale for that spoiled all the rest And the blotting out of a word or sentence is not so great an offence in any deed or writing as to destroy spoile and abuse the seale 4. Why did God giue the tables in stone afterwards if man was not to be guided by them in his creation Was he then bound to God and his brother and not before or did God make a new law or set Adams sonnes a taske their father neuer had But we let this passe and proceed to giue further reasons of the point in hand Againe the naturall powers of man are much weakened Reas 2. much more the spirituall since Adams fall And the Lord seeing that gaue his people a law writ in two tables of stone for a patterne and why then 1. Because the children of Israell were multiplied as the Why the law was writ in Moses time sand by the sea shore according to his promise made vnto Abraham 2. In that the gouernours of families were growne negligent and would not teach their house and children the lawes of God 3. And especiallie in regard at that day there was scarce any print or footesteps of the law left remaining in the hearts of the sonnes of men For processe of time had worne them out 4. And finallie for that the people began to murmur at the doctrine of Moses and Aaron crying they tooke too much vpon them as if they had bound heauier burdens than the Lord himselfe prescribed to them Besides in the course of our Pilgrimage we shall meete Reas 3. with many false teachers infinite and innumerable errours and heresies and how can these things be discerned otherwise than by a true and infallible rule Furthermore doe we not see how that grounds are good Reason 4. in all beginnings as to dispute speake c And last of all patternes helpe our darke iudgements ●eas 5. better our affections confirme our memcries and yeeld vs comfort and incouragement in all our proceedings This serueth to confute our aduersaries who denie the Vse 1. people the patterne of all puritie the word of truth They may be likened
