a proper and privat assumption or intrusion but a heavenly lawfull and publicke calling as it is written Heb. 5.4 No man taketh this honour upon him but hee that is called of God as was Aaron The succession derived from Aaron made such heires as were found in the line rather then such as were preferred after their Ab Aaron per genus ducta successio generis magis tenebat haeredes quam justitiae consortes Melchisedech wherein the type of Christ worth Wherefore the true Melchisedech the true King of peace and righteousnesse according to the type of the old Testament is our high Priest offering up himselfe in sacrifice for us Hebr. 4.15 touched indeed and throughly affected with the sense and weight of our sinnes In that hee was without father and without mother it is to bee referred to our example as one elected not for his nobility of stocke but for excellency of grace and prerogatiue of vertues David Psal 99.6 proposeth Aaron for our imitation and hee was a man worthy to bee followed of all For when a cruell plague crept upon the people for their rebellion hee casteth himselfe Numb 16.48 betweene the living Somewhat in Aaron for the imitation of-Pastors somwhat memorable and the dead and making an attonement stayed the same The rod of Aaron what else doth it signifie but that the gifts of grace shall never wither in the ministery for that this was done in the end of his life it sheweth that in the last times the study of faith and devotion seeming to bee dead shall revive and spring forth Why was he and Eleazar Exod. 29.1 Levit. 8.2 Numb 20.28 consecrated only by Moses but to declare that one of that tribe ought to consecrate another he was chosen of God approved of Moses such a one against whom the people might take no offence because hee was to supplicate to God for them and intercede for their sinnes The vertue of his office being so great he must not bee one of evill life no hee must have no affinity with the smallest sinnes Workes Flexible must hee be to every good worke and forwardest to that of compassion and mercy hee must not bite in his word nor breake his promise Neither is it his duty alone to keepe himselfe upright but to raise up others that are fallen in commiseration toward them It is his part to bee of a meeke and gentle carriage to bee a lover of godlinesse to repell anger to bee a trumpet to stirre up the people to devotion to mitigate their unquiet spirits and to draw them to tranquillity It is an old saying accustome thy selfe to bee alwayes one and the same that whatsoever thy preferment bee thy life may expresse a certaine picture and retaining alwayes the same image and forme which it received at the first The Apostle gives all in a 1 Tim. 3.2 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 word a Bishop must be unreproveable That which is spoken to every Christian most of all concernes him bee yee holy in all 1 Pet. 1.15 manner of conversation It addes much grace to his ministery if hee 1 Cor. 9.27 bind himselfe to the study of Quid pulchrius abstinentiâ quae facit etiam inventutis annos senescere ut fiat morum senectus abstinency which is a steppe to integrity But O yee Pastors passe the time of your dwelling here not in remisnesse not in haughtinesse but in 1 Pet. 1.17 feare put not your confidence in riches yee must leave those here behind you Faith alone shall accompany you Iustice also shall be your companion if faith goe before and lead the way Why doe yee suffer riches so to stroke and flatter you yee were not 1 Pet. 1.18 redeemed by silver nor gold nor costly aray nor by possessions from your vaine conversation but by the pretious bloud of Christ Hee therefore is rich that is the Rom. 8.17 heire of God the coheire of Christ If money were so materiall why then sent our Saviour his Apostles abroad to teach without Math. 10.9 money Why did the chiefe of them say silver and gold I have Acts 3.6 none but I have faith Hee glorieth in his poverty as if money would contaminate his fingers and sticke to them like birdlime Silver and gold saith hee I have not but I have faith I am rich enough in the name of the Lord Iesus which is above all men even the wealthiest I have not silver neither doe I require it I have not gold neither doe I desire it but I have that which yee rich men have not I have that which even they themselves being judges esteeme to bee of more valew For I am able to say to the distressed in the name of the Lord Iesu and so in the word of assurance bee yee strengthened yee weake Hebr. 12.12.13 hands and yee feeble knees But would yee be rich indeed be yee then poore For then shall yee bee rich in all things if yee be Math. 5.3 poore in spirit Because not the revenew maketh rich but the mind For there bee which in the multitude of riches beare themselves rightly and wisely in all lowlinesse That place in the Prov. 10.15 Proverbs the possession of riches is a most strong city is not meant of an earthly city but of Hjerusalem which is above this is a good possession which bringeth perpetuall profit It is a good possession Portion which is not left here but possessed there and if yee desire to know who is in possession hereof the Psalmist will teach you The Lord saith he is my Psal 119.57 portion hee saith not my portion is in the meadowes the pastures the fields the woods hee saith not my portion is the Psal 33.17 horse or herdes of cattell the droves of sheepe the faire and stately buildings the goodly furniture the bagges of gold but the Lord is my portion The Lord was Iudas Master but the Iohn 13.29 bagge was his portion and hereby the divell is his possession a just portion for unfaithfulnesse Idlenesse inhibited and greedinesse The like shall bee their portion that being set upon a charge waste their time in idlenesse and sleepe There is no small detriment of one houre mispent because one houre that is to say a little and short portion of time is the space of our whole life By idlenesse and sleepe is made no purchase As by these no worke is done so there comes no wages yea no small wracke and woe to the present and future estate By idlenesse Esau Hebr. 12. ●6 lost the blessing of the first borne because hee had rather receive meate then seeke it by labour Contrariwise Iacob by his labour and vigilancy over the flockes got a Gen. 29.18 29. Praier Bonum scutum est oratio qua contumelia excluditur maledictum repellitur in ipsos qui maledixerunt frequenter retorquetur ut suo telo vulnerentur double portion Praier is a good sense to ward off the blowes of much evill from your owne heads and the heads
