solaces in theâ—â— dayes of tears what joy shall there bâ—â— in that day of marriage if our goale 〈◊〉 containe so great matters what shaâ—â— our Countrie and Kingdome doe O my Lord and God thou art a greâ—â— God and great is the multitude of thâ— magnificence and sweetnesse And 〈◊〉 there is no end of thy greatnesse nâ— number of thy wisdom nor measure 〈◊〉 thy benignity so is their neither â—nd numbers nor measure of thy rewarâ— towards them that love and faithfully serve thee Hitherto St. Austin Anotheâ— way to conjecture of this felicity is to consider the great promises which Goâ— maketh in the Scriptures to honor and glorifie man in the life to come whosoever shall honour me saith God I will gloryfie him And the Prophet David as it were complaineth joyfully that Gods friends were so much honoured by him which he might with much more cause have said if he had lived in the new Testament and had heard that promise of Christ that his Servants should sit down and banquet and that himself would serve and minister unto them in the Kingdom of his Father But now to come to that point of this felicity which doth appertain to the soul as the principal part it is to be understood that albeit there be many things that do concur to this felicity for the accomplishment perfection of happynesse yet the fountain of aâ—l is but one onely thing called by Divines the sight of God that maketh us happy This only sight of God is our happinesse If we would enter into these considerations no doubt but we should be more inflamed with the love of this felicity prepared for us then we are and consequently should strive more to gain it then wâ— do And to the end thou mayst conceive some more feeling in the matter gentle Reader consider a little with me what a joyfull day shall that be at thy house when having lived in thâ— fear of God and archieved in his service the end of thy peregrination bâ— the meanes of death to passe froâ— misery and labour to immortality anâ— in that passage when other men begin to feare thou shalt lift up thâ— head in hope according as Christ promiseth for that the time of thy salvation cometh Tell me what a day shall that be when thy soule stepping forth of prison and conducted to the Tabernaclâ— of Heaven and shall be received theâ— with the honourable Companies anâ— Troopes of that place with all thosâ— blessed spirits mentioned in Scriptureâ— as Principalities Powers Vertueâ— Dominations Thrones Angels Archangels Cherubines and Seraphines also with the holy Apostles anâ— Disciples of Christ Patriarks Prophets Martyrs Innocents Confeâ—sors and Saints of God All which shall triumph at thy Coronation and glorification What joy will thy soule receive at that day when shee shall be presented in the presence of these States before the Seat Majestie of the blessed Trinity with recitall and declaration of all thy good works and travels suffered for the love service of God When there shall be laid down in that honourable Consistory all thy vertuous deeds al thy labors that thou hast taken in thy calling all thy almes all thy prayers all thy fasting all thy innocence of life all thy patience in injuries all thy constancie in adversities all thy temperance in meats all thy vertues of thy whole life When all I say shall be recounted there al commended all rewarded shalt thou not see now the value profit of a vertuous life shalt thou not confess that gainful honorable is the service of God Shalt thou not now be glad bless the hour wherein first thou resolvedst thy self to leave the service of the world to serve God Shalt thou not think thy selfe to be beholden to him that perswaded thee unto it Yes verily But yet more then this when as being so neere thy passage here thou shalt consider into what a port and haven of security thou art come and shalt looke backe upon the dangers which thou hast passed and wherein other men are yet in hazzard thy cause of joy shall greatly be increased For thou shalt see evidently how infinite times thou wert in danger to have perished in that journey if God had not held his provident hand over thee Thou shalt see the dangers wherein other men are the death and damnation whereinto many of thy friends and acquaintance have fallen the eternall paines of Hell incurred by many that used to laugh and be merry with them in this world All which shall augment the felicity of this thy blessed estate And now for thy selfe thou mayest be secure thou art out of all danger for ever and ever There is now no more need of feare of watchings of labour of care thou mayest lay down all armour now better then the Children of Israel might have done when they had gotten the Land of promise for there is no more Enemy to assault thee there is no wily Serpent to beguile thee All is peace all is rest all is joy all is security Thy onely exercise must be now to rejoyce to tryumph to sing Hallelujah to the Lambe which hath brought thee to this felicitie and will keep thee in the same world without end But now to draw towards an end in this matter though there be no end in the thing it selfe let the Christian Reader consider whereto he is borne and whereof he is in possibilitie if he will He is born heire apparent to the Kingdome of heaven a Kingdome without end a Kingdome without measure a Kingdome of blisse the Kingdome of God himself he is borne to be joynt heire with Jesus Christ the Sonne of God to raigne with him to triumph with him to sit in judgement with him to judge the very Angels with him What more glory can be thought upon except it were to become God himselfe All the joyes all the riches all the glory that heaven containeth shall be powred out upon him who wil not esteeme of this royall Inheritance Especially seeing that now we have so good opportunity to the obtaining thereof by the benefit of our redemption and grace purchased to us therein Tell me now Gentle Reader why wilt thou not accept of this his offer Why wilt thou not accompt of this his Kingdome Why wilt thou not buy this glory of him for so little a labour as he requireth There is not the wickedest man in the world but taketh more travell and pains in going to Hell then the most painefull servant of God in obtaining of heaven Follow thou not their folly then deare brother for thou shalt see them suffer greevously for it one day when thy heart shall be full gald thou hadst no part among them Let them goe now and bestow their time in vanitie in pleasures in delights of the world Let them build Pall ces purchase Dignities and peeces and patches of ground together Let them hunt after Honours and build Castels in the Ayre the day will
given both in Heaven and Earth Arise then thou Lord to whom the Kingdomes doe belong and shew thy selfe and let not the man of the Earth any longer exalt himselfe least he be too proud and least he ascribe to himselfe or to his graven Images or vaine Idols the conquest that thou shalt see and suffer over thy people Not unto us O Lord not unto us but unto thy Name be the praise For the honour of thy Name arise before Ephraim Benjamin and Manasses before Great Britaine Ireland and other Countries that call upon thy Name arise and shew thy selfe for us for on thee only doe we call We call on thee to save us and our Forces and thy people now in more danger how and in what manner and at what time fully to declare thy Salvation we referre to thy heavenly wisedome only in the meane time that it may please thee to sanctifie and save to preserâ—e and provide for them and us and all thine both in Field and City Protect and defend deliver us and ours at home and abroad And thou great Sheheard of Israel be pleased to take downe more and more that Man of Sinne that hath and would exalt himselfe against thee Asswage then the malice of those that are enemies to us or to any of thy people and evermore confound all their devices that we being armed with thy defence may ever more and more give praise to thee which art the only Author of our peace and Giver of all victory And all this good Lord for us for them and all thine not for our merits but for thy great Mercy sake and for the Truth sake of thy gracious Promises in Jesus Christ our Lord and only Advocate and Redeemer To whom with thee O Father and the holy Spirit be all praise and glory now and for ever-more Amen A Prayer before Sermon O Most gracious God assist me I humbly beseech thee in this my good purpose and zeale and give me grace at this present time godly to enter into thy service Deare Father assist me with thy holy Spirit and drive away all vain and idle cogitations out of my minde that I may heare thy Word to my Soules comfort grant that it may take deepe roote in my heart and bring forth plentifully to the honour of thy blessed Name to the comfort of my Soule and the good example of my Brethren who seeing my good workes may glorifie thee my only Saviour and Redeemer Amen A Prayer before the receiving of the Sacrament O Most sweet lover of all Mankinde Lord and Saviour I beseech thee for thy bitter Passion sake to remove from me all pride envie and detraction wrath malice and impatience and all other sicknesses and diseases of the Soule and plant good Lord in my heart and minde true meeknesse charity temperance and modesty with all such other vertues and preservatives unto the Soule And mortifie in me good Lord all uncleane motions carnall desires and inordinate affections and revive in me the love of vertues and the perpetuall exercise thereof so that at this time and at all times I may worthily receive this holy and blessed Sacrament unto thine honour and glory and my soules endlesse joy and comfort Amen A Prayer after receiving of the Sacrament JN most humble and most hearty manner with most due reverence I thank thee good Lord most holy Father and everlasting God thaâ— by the bounty of thy mercifull grace wouldest vouchsafe thus to refresh and feed my Soule through faith with the benefit of the Death and Passion of thy Sonne our Lord God and Saviour Iesus Christ And I beseech thine infinite goodnesse that this the Sacrament of this thy Death and Passion which I most unworthy wretch have now received may never come hereafter in Iudgement and Condemnation unto me for mine evill merits and deservings but rather good Lord it may come to the profit and comfort of my body and to the salvation of my Soule unto the life everlasting Amen A Prayer at the houre of death O Heavenly Lord God wee poore wretches being overcome with griefe come all here attending thy good pleasure with this sick Servant of thine O Lord incline to heare our Prayers and his complaints unto thee be now O Lord present and send thy good Angels and Spirit to attend us be with us O Lord and comfort this sick person and now if the time be come of his departure grant O Lord he may depart with godly comfort and joy everlasting into thy Kingdome Ease O Lord his griefs mittigate his paines asswage his sorrowes anâ— give him a lively touch of thy heavenly comfort put by all worldly thoughts and beat downe all bad suggestions let nothing but good come in his minde and grant that he may to the last gaspe of breath breath out still some comfort of thy helpe and grant when he hath done his last to finish this mortall life then he may with Lazarus be carried into Abrahams bosome O Lord forgive him O Lord receive him O Lord protect him O Lord succour and save him and now and for ever grant he may rest with thee in eternall glory Heare us good Father for this our Brother and doe for him and us according to thy Fatherly mercy in Jesus Christ to whom we commend him with these our

altogether silent then not to exceed in words and to tarry at home then not to offend abroad it is easier Wherefore he which would be zealous and godly must avoid Company No man doth safely go abroad but he which gladly can abide at home no man safely doth govern but he which gladly can be in subjection No man safely doth Command but he that hath learned willingly to obey No man safely is merry but he that hath a good Conscience And no man safely can speak but he that willingly can hold his peace And yet hath not the security of good men at any time been without the fear of God neither did their excellent and heavenly gifts make them any whit proud but the more humble But the security of the wicked as it ariseth of pride so it turneth to their distruction Never look to live at thy hearts ease in this world seem thou never so godly and religious It faileth out many times that they fall grievously through pride which in mans opinion were most religious men whereby it is evident that tentation is very good for some both to keep them from pride and outward consolation O if man would avoid vain pleasure and not love the world what a good Conscience should he alwayes retain If man would cast away all vain cares and think only upon heavenly things and trust only in God what a continuall joy should he feele in his mind No man shall find any spirituall comfort except he occupie himself diligently in stirring up his mind unto godlinesse the which thou shalt the more easily attain if thou enter into thy Chamber and shut thy self from troubles of the world as it is written Examin your own hearts upon your bed and be still For commonly thou shalt find that in the Closet which thou wouldest leese abroad the more thou usest thy Closet the more thou wilt like it the lesse thou comest thereinto the more thou wilt loath it But frequent the same rightly and tarry therein at thy first conversion from wickednesse and afterwards thou shalt do it with exceeding pleasure Solitarinesse and quietnesse is good for him that would proceed in vertue and learn the mysteries of holy Scripture for there shall he find even floods of teares whereby he may wash and clense himself every night that he may be so much nigher unto his Maker by how much he is further from the resort of men So that God with his holy Angels cometh unto him which withdraweth himself from his friends and acquaintance It is better to live in a corner so a man have a regard to himself then without care of his own salvation even to work miracles It is no shame but praise for a godly man seldom to go abroad to shun to be seen and not to love to see Why lookest thou on that which is not lawfull for thee to have The world passeth away and the lusts thereof The desire of pleasure maketh thee to rove abroad but when the pleasure is past which is quickly gone what gettest thou thereby but repentance and a wandering soule A merry out-going bringeth commonly murning return and a merry evening watch is sign of a lowring morning Even so the joy of this world entreth pleasantly but endeth bitterly what canst thou see in another place which is not here Behold the Heaven Earth and all the Eâ—ements for of those do all things consist what seest thou in any place that abideth ever perchance thou thinkest to satisfie thy self with contemplation but thou shalt never do so what if thou sâ—west all things before thine eyes it were but a vain sight but lift up thine eyes to God and aske pardon for thine offences leave vain things to vain folks and give thou thy mind to do the will of God Shut thy self within thy dore and call thy welbeloved Jesus unto thee Tarry with him in thy Chamber for elsewhere thou shalt never find so great quietnesse Haddest thou not gone abroad nor listned unto tumors and tales thou mightest the better have injoyed quietnesse but now because thou givest thine eares to hear newes thou art troubled greatly and vexed in thy mind Of the last judgment and punishment for sinne VVHatsoever thou takest in hand remember thine end and how thou must appear before a severe Judge in whose sight nothing is hid which neither is pleased with reward nor admitteth vain excuses but rightly and indifferently judgeth all men O fond man and miserable wretch what answer wilt thou make unto God who knoweth all thy sinnes which oftentimes fearest the lookes even of an angry man why dost thou not look to thy self against the day of that judgment when no man shall excuse or defend another for every man shall have enough to answer for himself Now mayst thou do good if thou takest paine now will thy teares be excepted if thou weep now may thy groans be heard if thou sigh and both pacifie God and purge thy self And indeed thoroughly is the patient man purged which being injured doth bewale the wickednesse of the inferiour rather then the injury offered unto himself prayeth for his enemies forgiveth them from his heart asketh pardon speedily of others whom he hath offended is more easily moved to pitty then to anger offereth often violence unto himself and laboureth earnestly to bring his body into subjection of the spirit And these things must not be deferred but be done while we live and that with speed But we deceive our selves thorow an inordinate desire of the flesh That Hell fire what else will it burn but sinners The more thou hast loved thy self and pampered thy flesh the more shall be thy paines and the more substance to burn thee hast thou laid together For in what things a man hath sinned in the same he shall be punished according to the greatnesse of the offence There idle persons shall be pricked with burning forks gluttons shall be tormented there with extream hunger and thurst There Epicures and voluptious persons for their sweet delights shall have burning pitch to boyle them and stinking brimstone to anoy them The envious there shall houle like mad doggs and no vice but shall have his torment To be short one houre of paine in that place shall bee more grievous then all the time they had in this world to amend their maners For theâ—e is no rest comfort there is none Here sometimes their sorrow seased and sometimes they received comfort of their friends wherefore have a care of thy selfe whilst thou art alive and bewaile thy sinnes that in the day of that judgement thou mayest safely rejoyce with Gods elect For then shall the righteous with great boldnesse stand against such as have vexed and oppressed them Then shall he sit to judge which now is content to be judged of men Then shall the poore and meeke triumph when the proud shall quake on every side Then shall they say hee was wise which for Christ his sake seemed a foole
he is most in generall So in workes we should weigh the generality and according to that censure If it be rather good than ill I thinke he deserves some praise for raising Nature above her ordinary flight Nothing in this world can be framed so intirely perfect but that it shall have in it some delinquencies to argue more were in the compriser if it were not so it were not from Nature but the immediate Deity The next if we had never seene that frame whether or no we thinke we could have mended it To espy the inconveniences of a house built is easie but to lay the plot at first well is matter of more repute and speakes the praise of a good contriver The crooked lines help better to shew the streight Judgement is more certaine by the eye then in the fancy surer in things done then in those that are but in cogitation If we finde our selves able to correct a Copy and not to produce an Originall yet dare to deprave we shew more Criticisme than ability Seeing we should â—ather magnifie him that hath gone beyond us then condemne his worth fâ—â— a few failes Selfe examâ—nation will make our â—udgement charitable 't is from where there is no judgement that the heaviest â—udgement comes If we must needs â—ensure 't is good to doe it as Suitonius writes of the twelve Caesars tell both their vertues and their vices unpartially and leave the upshot to collection of the private minde So shall we learne by hearing of the faults â—o avoyd them and by knowing the â—ertues practise the like Otherwise we should rather praise a man for 〈◊〉 little good then brand him for 〈◊〉 more of ill we are full of faults by nature we are good not without our care and industry Let us never forget but consider with good attention for what intent and purpose God created us and thiâ— world for our sakes and in placing us therein as Lords of the same for nothing made it selfe so nothing was made for it selfe nor to serve it selfe The Heavens we see doe serve the Ayre the Ayre serveth the Earth the Earth serveth the Beasts the Beasts serveth man And then is the question Who man was made to serve for seeing he was not made by himselfe it is not likely he was made to serve himselfe but his Creator who created him and all things else for his use True faith is the ground of things hoped for and the evidence of things that are not seene Prayer is an humble request made unto God in Christ with the lively and feeling affection of the heart faithfully beleeving to receive what we religiously desire Let a man never thinke to come to the Kingdom of glory except he enter in at the gates of grace Where truth is not invested grace is not in the heart A gracious man is lovely to himselfe and sin makes him loathsome to his soule and afraid of his condition Let us use our Profession as it should be not to have an upper Garment to cover a naughty heart but to labour more and more to put off the old Man and not to make Religion a cloke and vaile of Hypocrisie for besides all the sinnes we have to make Religion serve our turnes it makes our sinnes the greater When a mans Religion shall be a cover to his sinfull courses that inâ—reases his sinne and makes his sinnes abhominable A good Conscience is a Casket to keep Divine truths in and when we have gotten soule-saving truths let us keep them by a good Conscience When we doe any thing let us reason thus Is this becomming my Religion And say thus to our selves I should walke worthy of Christ and as it becommeth the Gospell for what is the ornament of a Christian but the graces he hath All the beauty we have is to be religious Many there be that can talke well and discourse well but for inward graces they never looke nor regard and it is this that upholds many Christians they see Religion is respected of those of whom they desire to be had in some esteeme but God sees their Hypocrisie and they shall have their reward What seasons Warre but the hope of Peace The troubles and Tempests at Sea but the hope of the Haven The labour and cost in sowing but the expectation of Harvest Shall not we much more indure a little labour here for endlesse happinesse assured to us hereafter this is much forgot But here is the pitty men labour sweat taking paines and travell here spare no cost and all this to goe to Hell to heape up wrath against the day of wrath The Devill has more servants in his barren and fruitlesse service then God gets with all promises and good things that he so liberally bestowes upon them Observe the good motions of Gods Spirit in thee further them to the most advantage in thee turne them to present practise lose nor delay them not for else the Devill will steale them away from thee If we doe any good the deed is Gods if we will it the will is Gods and then we please God when we will that which God wills and not when we doe that which God wils not Wee ought to bee as thankfull to God for any sinne he keeps us from as for any good he causes us to perform for there is not any sinne that another hath committed but if God had pleased I might have committed it Light is a heavenly quallity So is the Word of God holy pure transforming godly men to its own likeness to be heavenly his bread is from heaven his affections desires thoughts indeavours are heavenly his way is upward he is heavenly minded while he is on earth he is in heaven Light makes a thing ful of Evidence all the world cannot perswade a man contrary to that he sees so doth the Word of God discover to us our estates in grace and so severely as all the world cannot shake the foundation of our Faith Therefore if we desire to be lights let us communicate with the chiefest light As the Sarres are ever in the presence of the Sunne and from his light they receive theirs Be sure thou placest thy selfe in Gods eye continually secondly use the meanes use the glasse of Gods Word thou shalt not onely see thy estate therein but by it thou shalt be transformed into Gods Image other glasses have no such power like this mirrour of the Gospel it makes us like God because it hath the Spirit of God ever to accompany with it whence it is called the Word of light True patience is a fruit and effect of repentance and humiliation for sin True patience is likewise the fruit of Faith True patience is a fruit of our obedience unto God and of a heart subdued and made able to yeeld unto God in all things Yea it is indeed a chiefe part of our obedience unto him Patience perforce as we call it without all reference to the will of God and

been lost and grant that we seeing their double dealing may no longer trust to them which have no truth they imagine mischief in their hearts and are set on fire to doe ill but breake thou the knot of their malice lay open their plots discover their devices weaken their Armies over-throw their Inventions confound their Councels and consume their numbers O Lord thou hast in times past made the Starres to fight in order the Sun to stand still the Seas to devoure the Winds to overthrow thy enemies So now O Lord cause these thy Creatures to assist and help us and our distressed Neighbours that all the world may know It is thou that fightest our Battels and undertakest our cause Finally O Lord blesse we beseech thee us and every one of us in what we shall take in hand for defence of thy Church and Truth blesse we intreat thee our King and Parliament our State and Clergy our Communalty and give thy blessing unto us all and last of all blesse we beseech thee all the worthy Companies of Souldiers in Cities and all other places in the Land blesse O Lord their inventions of Warre and make them expert by their practises prosper all their undertakings so that all the world may know that thou art the Guider of our Councells and Leader of our Armies Grant this deare Father and all other good things unto us for the good of the Church amongst us and the reliefe of others by us now and

things whose power no Creature is able to resist to whom it belongeth justly to punish sinners and to be mercifull to them that truly repent Worke in us and in all thy people unfained and effectuall repentance that what thou seest amisse in us and amongst us or in any parts of thy Church may speedily and thorowly be reformed that which is righteous and good in thy sight may be established and maintained especially in this our Land and other places professing thy Truth and Gospell and in the meane time while we strive after that which may be most agreeable to thy holy Will as it is revealed in thy holy Word be mercifull unto us and bring us on as thou seest it needfull evermore supporting us in our most gracious Shepherd by thy staffe of comfort And thou Sonne of David that knowest the mercilesse condition of Satan and cruell men his cursed Instruments we humbly beseech thee never to deliver us over into their power but save and defend us and all thy people evermore from the hands of all our enemies both bodily and ghostly And more particularly at this time we earnestly beseech thee O heavenly Father by the mediation of thy Sonne Jesus our only Mediator to be mercifull to those that are joyned with us or stand out for thy Truth or any righteous Cause and give that issue to the present troubles of thy Church as may make most for thy glory the advancement of thy Truth and Gospell the reliefe of all thy distressed people in all those parts of thy troubled Church and for the establishing of truth and peace in this our Land May it please thee once to free all our Brethren
