one another Let that name that is held out ●n your profession be dear to you and make that an argument to curb passion and to order you in your dealings one with another 5. Moses was mightily careful that he might not be frustrat of his end he went out of Egypt that he might come to Canaan and when there was any danger that he was like to be frustrated in this how it troubled him it went to his heart and he cried to God that God would let him see that good land so if it be out of faith that you come from your country great care will be had that you be not frustrate of your end wherefore came you came you not to enjoy God to have further communion with God to walk with God in a more close way then you could do before are you careful to attaine your end doth it trouble your souls when at any time you see any danger to be frustrate of your end doth it come near to you that you find for the present you have attained so little of your end those that come out of other ends let this go but if you come out of Faith you will be mightily careful to attaine the end for which you came that work that is done out of faith will work mightily to the end and never leave working till it come at its end 6. If so be you came out of your country by Faith your souls will be satisfied with God alone and the cal and promise of God is that which your souls will have recourse unto continually for the satisfaction of your souls so Moses when he was in straight he presently had recourse to the call and promise of God to bring his people out of Egypt and that satisfied him 7. As it will quiet and satisfie the soul so that Faith that brought you out will carry you through all difficulties now you meet with many difficulties and some you thought not of if it were out of faith that you came and that faith were a continued work it will carry you through the difficulties you meet withall do you find that upon the difficulties you meet withall your hearts sink you may fear it was not Faith that first brought you out I would not have any gather any sinister conclusion from this which hath been said to think that we make comparisons between our country and Egypt no but we bless God for the good we received in our own country and do desire the good of it as far as we can but only to shew the work of Moses in forsaking Egypt But in those that came from Egypt there was a mixt company and those mixt company were a continual trouble and disturbance to those that were the Israel of God Numb 11.4 And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting and the children of Israel also wept again and sayd who shal give us flesh to eate the mixt multitude they began the sin and the children of Israel fell with them And so into these countries there are come many of the people of God that were gracious out of faith but there are a great many that are the mixt multitude that were of broken estates they knew not how to live and coming upon those ends the people of God are troubled with such and they are the gratest contemners of the waies of Godliness they have kindness from the people of the country but they meet with trouble from this mixt company especially when any of those do creep into the Church and come to be members of it but for those that come from their country by faith we hope we shal enjoy comfortable communion with all such and thus much for this fourth use CHAP 23. Containing other vses of the point Use 5. Shews the reason why we faile in any thing we do it is for want of Faith Use 6. Labor to rise in indignation against your unbelief Use 7. Consider what it is to faile in that work which concerns thy eternal estate USE 5. FIftly If so be that it be Faith that carries through difficulties he●ce we see the reason why we faile in any thing that we doe it is want of Faith It is not such a let nor such a hinderance no know it is the unbeleiving heart it may be thou wentest in the resolution of thy own heart and thought to carry it through in the strength of thy own spirit and that would not do As the Apostle saith Heb. 11.29 By Faith they passed through the red sea as by dry land which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned So by Faith such and such passed through such and such works to the glory of God But others at other times would assay to do them by their own resolutions and they failed and were drowned it is true resolution may do great matters but to carry a soule in a gracious manner through any difficultie it wil faile Know therefore where lay the cause of thy failing and lay thy hand on the right place and accuse thy self of an unbeleiving heart USE 6. And upon that labour to rise in indignation against thy unbeleiving heart as suppose a man hath been in some great work and some have letted him and so let him as to spoyle his work his heart riseth against him I was in a good forwardness and such a one came and spoyled my work and so look upon thy unbelieving heart I was in such a work that God set me about but my unbelieving heart came and hindered me and Gods name lost the glory and my own soul was wounded USE 7. Againe doth thy heart faile thee if my unbelieving heart make me faile in this work what if I should faile through unbelief in that great work that concernes my eternal estate what should become of me then I seldom undertake a work but my unbelieving heart makes me faile in it now there is a work of infinite consequence and nothing can carrie me through that but Faith and if my unbelieving heart come and spoyl me in that it were better I had never been borne it hath done me hurt enough in such and such things I had need have a care it doe not spoile me in that As if a man should say there are such and such businesses I have miscarried in and I have lost much by them but there are such and such works if I miscarrie in I am undon it is as much as my life is worth and therefore I had need take heed of those things that have been hindrances to me in my other works So if unbelief have done you hurt in these works take heed it do not hinder you in the maine work And for a word to those that are weake who are ready to be discouraged and think they shall miscarry Know God hath a speciall care of all his people though never so weak to keep off hinderances in that maine work though God do suffer them to faile in
