to walk in the waies that the Lorde our God hath appointed vs and yet we will be compted christians by name but infidels in our actions To talke of Christ being carnally affected and not heauenlie

in the desertes when he tempted the Lorde of life that Iohn baptized in Iordan and then if we bée faithlesse as I feare me the greatest number of vs are that remaine in this our last time of calling what differ we from sathan that vnrighteous prince of darknes And is this the way do we cōi●…ture with our selues to please God when in not regarding the price of our redemtion accomplished by Gods eternall decree freelie by and through the working of his ●…serued grace in the spotles and immaculate lambe No we vsurpe the name of Christ in this doing we deceiue our selues we tread the blood of him that hath redeemed vs vnder our feete and to concl●…de wée aggreuate heape vp vnto our selues the heauie and intollerable curse and indignation of the a●…ightie and therwithall vnlesse we conuert from the 〈◊〉 waie of our abhominable wickednesses the destruction of our bodies and soules euerlastinglie But who is he that will enter into his owne conscience examine himselfe whither he be giltie of these causes or not or who is he that finding his conscience woūded with the deadlie dart of his own transgression ouerladen with sinne will learne to acknowledge his owne wickednesses to humble himselfe with Dauid before the thron of gods mercies to saie Lord haue mercie vpon me and according to the multitude of thy manifolde mercies blot out all mine iniquities out of thy presence verelie in this age there are few or none that indeuor to bring forth the fruits of repentance for the confidence that we haue in our selues the great distrust that we haue in God in neglecting his commandements the loue that we haue to this transitory world the slender care wée haue to Christ his Gospel the dangerous delight we conceaue in our owne force contrarie the vtter forgetting of gods graces bestowed vppon vs a proue vs rather to be the children of darknes then the sonnes of light were it not an absurde thing for vs to be called in this our last age wherein Christ is sencerely preached to be 〈◊〉 for our sins the enimies of Chist and the friends of Belial who would not think he had iniury being baptised to be called sath●…n But what redéemed whome Christ hath raunsomed not with golde nor siluer but with the price of the hart blood of our redéemer will at all times ingraue or print into his remembrance the painful torments that Christ hath suffred for the sins of the whole world nay rather who flieth not from the ensigne of his capteine Christ Jesus and yeldeth not himselfe a bondslaue to ●…in a seruant to sathan a pray to eternall damnation hel If God haue cōm●… nded vs to serue honor obey him to dedicate and offer vp our selues into his holie handes to depende wholie onely and solie vpon him to put our whole trust and confidence in him and to continue his worshippe in feare and reuerence Why doe we scorne his commandements Why yeelde we not our selues to obedience Why are wée become men pleasers Or why go wée about of a set purpose to displease our creator knowe we not that we are in his heauenly hands as the clay is in the hands of the potter will we become vessels of dishonor in dishonoring him that of dutie we are bounde to obey Are our hearts so hardened that wée thinke him insufficient to punishe vs that without ceasing prouoke him to displeasure or are we become so farre past feare that we will not stande in awe of his iudgementes Hath Ladie selfeloue made vs so wilfullie affected that we wil stand thus sturdely against the Lord and his annointed or hath the inordinate desire of our priuate gaine in this world of wretchednes so déepelie possessed our harts that we vtterlie cast Christ Jesus our high and mightie Lorde treasurer and the vnspeakeable treasures of his glorious kingdom frō our memories alas if wee will cocke●… our selues in our vncleannes heape vp sinne vpon sin glorie in our vncleannes and giue our consents to worke euill in the sight of the Lorde our God We are not members of Christ sons of adoption and grace but children of the diuell forlorne and cast away bastardes If we wil become wilful wantons stragling Goates refuse the good sheephearde and cleane vnto the hired seruant shall not sathan the wilie wolfe deuoure vs both in body and soule If we will liue 〈◊〉 lift vp our selues against the Lord stande stiffe in our owne securities and growe in the contempt of Gods eternall iustice shall not hee in his hea●…ie displeasure with the heauie Axe of his vengeance cut vs downe in our sinnes and then after this temporall death shall not the seconde death of bodie and soule which shall endure for euer vexe and torment vs in the dungion of hell Oh that we would record and call these thinges to our remembrances O that we woulde ponder in our owne consciences how heauie and dangerous a thing it is to fall into the iudgements of the Lorde our God O that we would diligently cōsider with our selues that as God is mercifull louing amiable to those that loue him and kéepe his commandements so is he iust terrible and displeasant to those that continue their wickednesses The 〈◊〉 tree that was barren was accursed and thinke we that are fruitlesse to be blessed Can not the good seede of the Gospell sowne in the stoni●… grounde of our stintie harts take no root at al in vs shal the filthy furrours of our cankred consciences in stead of good and perfect graine bring foorth vnsanerie darnell when the Lorde of the haruest commeth for perfect wheat will we render him chaffe alacke then most miserable is our condission and estate for hee then that hath his fanne in his hand wil purge his floure gather his wheate into the glorious g●…rner of his grace but the chaffe he will burne with an vnquenchable fire These thinges might forewarne vs in time while wée haue time to turne to the Lorde our God and to bring soorth the fruites of repentaunce But wée generallie for the most part here and euery where rather like beastlie Epicures then godlie affected christians wallowe in the myrie soyle of our vncleanesse and putrefaction expecting nothing so much as we doe our ease wherin wée she we our selues to be more laisie loyterers then louelie labourers in the Lordes vineyarde For let vs euen from the highest to the lowest from the
fyrie flame wherein the godles shall be punished and tormented euerlastinglie But howe or by what meanes they trust not to their owne strengthes they put no confidence in man they stand not sturdie in their owne conceits neither yet builde they on their owne desarts no they stande not to reason with the Lorde as though they would iustifie themselues but they feeling the miserie of their languishing soules they flie vnto the Lord by a liuelie faith they are ashamed of themselues they are heartelie sorie for their sinnes they weepe and crie out bitterlie for their iniquities saing O father we are not woorthy to be called thy children ●…or we haue sinned against thee and are not worthy to be called thy children This humble submission of theirs this hartie sorrowe of theirs is not onely accepted but the Lorde himselfe appea●…ing his furie with the outstretched armes of his compassion and pittie receyueth them to his fauor and giueth vnto them the fat kidde Christ Iesus on whom by faith they féede and haue their fill to their excéeding io●…es and to the saluation of their soules This is the difference betwixt the faithfull and the vnbeléeuing This is an especial token howe and in what kinde the children of light are and may at all times easelie bée discearned from the children of darkenes This is an especiall note for vs to consider howe and in what manner the church millitant may easelie be disciphered from the church malignant for as the members of the true church of Christ continuallie trauell vnder the crosse are at warfare and their fight is endles against 〈◊〉 death hell the flesh this wicked worlde sathan and all the powers of hell So this malignant church this synagogue of the diuel this proud painted strumpet of Babylon 〈◊〉 in all 〈◊〉 glorieth in all vncleannes loueth this world pearcheth for promotion and princelie dignitie and that most 〈◊〉 pampereth it selfe in fleshly filthie lust most shamelesselie soyleth it selfe in all notorious sinnes and euils most abhominably and to conclude Lucipher the prince of pride 〈◊〉 y ● ringleder of this mischieuous church contrary the mihtent church hath learned of hir louing 〈◊〉 Christ Iesus to be hūble lowly meeke gentle patient readie to suffer affliction willing to 〈◊〉 vnder the baner of hir head to continue constant in time of their trial The children of this church are not ashamed of y ● truth of the Gospel The children of this church are readie at al times to giue a reckoning of their faith before princes The children of this church are redie to suffer imprisonment reuiling persecution and willinglie they agree to giue their liues for the testimonie of Christ.
