to bow the body Present their Souls a living Sacrifice they will but their bodies are dead If St. Paul himself implore them by the mercies of God to present their bodies he must pardon them So humble these are they are afraid to be reverent How Seraphick is this Hypocrite in whom the Sword of the Spirit is melted when the Scaberd of the body is untouch't A Body O Lord thou hast prepared me and if my Body expect to be glorified it must be humbled But the very mention of this new modell'd humility is a sufficient confutation of it To give you succinctly the real grounds of Humility in the Text. He is God Thy God Thy God that honours thee to walk with him Walk humbly with thy God The God to whom futurities are present Nullum tempus occurrit Regi To the King of Heaven I am sure And we have nothing but a kind of Sceptical 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of what 's before us He the allseeing God we poor Prisoners of the flesh looking but out of the Grates Consider his Purity and Perfection and thy own Pollution and Prophaneness How low will thy Language be as the great Apostle's was upon a glance of Christs Divinity breaking out Depart from me O Lord for I am a sinful man Stars disappear when the Sun ariseth Gods fullness may show us our emptiness Thy God There is much Divinity in Pronouns Thy God to whom thou art oblig'd for the dews of Heaven and the fatness of the Earth Spiritual and Temporal blessings that honours thee to walk with him in his Shecinah Numbers 17. 4.

TOTVM HOMINIS OR THE DECALOGUE IN Three Words Viz Justice Mercy and Humility BEING A SERMON Upon Micah 6th Vers 8th Preached in the Cathedral of St. Peters York upon Monday the 15th day of March 1668 9 before the Right Honourable Baron Turner and Baron Rainsford The Right Worshipful St Jo. Armitage Bart. being then High Sheriff of Yorkshire By SAM DRAKE D. D. Vicar of Pontefract and sometime Fellow of St. John's Col. Camb. London Printed for William Grantham at the Black Bear in St. Pauls Church-yard near the little North Door 1670. TO THE TRULY VERTUOUS And RELIGIOUS LADY THE LADY MARGARET ARMITAGE Wife to Sir JOHN ARMITAGE of Kirklees Baronet MADAM THe best Guard being Innocency and this Sermon wanting Protection Where shall it find more of Safety because where more of Purity then in Your Breast Whil'st I am Pleading my Gracious Soveraigns Just Power I fear not but your loyal Husband will Espouse my Quarrel and Patronize my Sermon And I hope your pitty will not see this Perish Treating of those Vertues and Graces that have such an Assimilation to Your Self I here present You Madam with a small Glass but broken from the Chrystalline Heaven wherein you may see the Body of Divinity the Glory of the Lord and what Glory he would put upon you Therein God presents to you as rich a Triple-Offering as the Wise Men of the East did to his only Son Gold Frankincense and Myrthe A Bevy of Rich Jewels which the Indies are ignorant of nor is Arabia so happy as to Parallel The Ruby of Justice the Pearl of Mercy and the Emerald of Humility Thus the true Christian is blazon'd May these Vertues then by the Sanctification of the Spirit be as a Collar of SS to Adorn your Neck May these unpolisht Lines intended as an enlargement thereon be subservient to your Devotions and Closetted in your Pious and Discerning Breast so shall you be all Glorious within and the King of Heaven shall take pleasure in your Spiritual Beauty In my Prayers I may not forget your Two vertuous Daughters may Madam Margaret and Madam Catharine deserve the stile of Jemima and Kesia two of Holy Jobs Daughters for the Light of Divine Truth in them and the Perfume of Godliness Residing at London you have the Glory of Art and Nature in your Eye but the Ornament of a Meek and quiet spirit in Gods sight is of greater Price Some New City-Modes may differ much from this and one from another but I assure you after this Manner in the Old Time Holy Women who trusted in God adorned themselves And if you will be but so just to your own self as to Peruse and still Practise Gods Holy Precepts so Merciful to Me as to Pardon this Presumption you Crown the Hopes and Desires of MADAM Your Most Humbly Devoted Servant S. D. Micah 6th Vers 8th He hath shewed thee O Man what is good And What doth the Lord require of thee But to do Justly to love Mercy and to walk Humbly with thy God WHen the Prophet Micah observ'd how the Formal Jew doted upon his Shadowy Ceremony he presseth the Substantial Duty of Justice upon him In Aram Dei Justitia imponatur Let Justice be put upon thy Heart the Altar Offer Mercy rather then Sacrifice And if by Humility thou make thy self a whole Burnt-Offering consuming thy former Glorious Self in that Holy Conflagration How much more Acceptable will this be then the Fat of Rams In like manner when I take notice that some Novelists of this Age of ours have been so wholly given to Platonick Speculations Ayery Notions and Fond-affected Expressions who would be accounted Religious though they have lost their Decalogue in their Pretended Creed and Morall-Honesty in the Refinedness of their Faith I hope it will not be unsuitable if I according to this Prophets Method press these Primitive Practical Duties of Justice Mercy and Humility in the Language of my Text. Thus then God having cleared himself from those unworthy Aspersions of a hard Master which some undutiful Servants would have fixed upon him in the soft Language in the third Verse of this Chapter O my People What have I done unto thee and Wherein have I wearied thee testifie against me and then by a short Epitome of his long continued signal Favours Tacitly tax'd here as plainly elsewhere the Ingrateful Hypocritical and Formal Pretences of that Jewish Nation Vers 5. O my People Remember now what Balack King of Moab consulted c. At the sixth Verse they make their Reply Wherewith shall I come before the Lord saith Israel and how my self before the high God If the Lord would be appeased with thousands of Rams or ten thousands of Rivers of Oyl these Impossible things I would attempt yea even unlawful ones The First-born for my Transgression and the Fruit of my Body for the Sin of my Soul this would I give for an Attonement And indeed any thing of that People God might sooner have had then a broken heart The Prophet now comes to make Gods Rejoynder in my Text Away with such flourishing Pretences you do but shuffle and trifle with God you need not now begin to ask the way to Zion with your faces thitherwards you need not make so much Question what will please him He hath spoke his mind freely and his Commands are fair writ he hath shewed thee O man what is good Thee O man If man should be taken for the Magistrate as Gen. 43. 11. Carry down the man the Ruler Joseph a Present and in other places then the Errand is in the Prophets language to thee O Captain Truth is if a man in power will walk in darkness some puny advantages he hath to deal perversely but if he will but eye the light of the word he shall find all these obviated in my Text What is it the Lord requires lest he should be injurious to do justice lest he should be cruel to love mercy lest he should be frivolously imperious to walk humbly And because the name of Adam being so low man rather affects that of Geber a Gilded Hillock nay to be accounted 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 The Prophet seems to check him thus Pride gets nothing but a slight from Reason and a worse sure from Religion shall the Gloe-worm vye with the Sun shall the Subject strut it in the face of his Soveraign Walk humbly 't is with thy God If there be many by-wayes the night dark or our Guide blind we may easily fall into a ditch but here 's a light set up in the Text and that from the Father of lights He hath shewed And thee O man It seems a particular Ray is order'd to reach every single person He hath chalked out the way the good old way this do and live Thee O man Though spoken by the word in general as much concerns us as if directed to every individual God as I may so say talks with every person immediately ayming to
