how we should examine For our direction therefore heerein know that in this search wee must labour to finde out two things 1. Our sinne 2. Our misery by reason of sinne In the search of sinne both Originall and Actuall sinne must be found out 1. For Originall sinne we must know that in it are two things 1. The Guilt of the first sinne of Adam in eating the forbidden fruit For in Adam as the roote of all mankinde we all sinned And if wee had no inherent sinne of our owne this imputed sinne of Rom. 5. his were enough to damne vs. 2. That which necessarily followeth vpon the former The generall corruption and deprauation of our whole nature and it consists in these two points 1. The whole man is in Euill Euery part and power of soule and body is infected with this leprosie from the Crowne of the head to the soales of the feet there is nothing but boiles and botches 2. Whole euill is in man that is to say the seeds of and so a fitnesse to all sinnes euen the most odious As the Chaos at the first creation had the seeds Gen. 1. 2. of all creatures and wanted onely the spirits motion to bring them foorth so this Chaos and masse of sinne hath the seedes of all sinnes and wants but the powerfull motion of Sathan and warmth of his temptations to hatch euen Cockatrices and such like poysoned monsters O how should this humble vs to thinke what venomed natures wee haue so that neuer was there any villany committed by any forlorne Miscreant wherunto we haue not a disposition in our selues We cry out of Cain Iudas Iulian the Sodomites Why we carry them all in our own bosoms They are but glasses to see our Prou. 27. 19. faces in as in the water face answereth to face so doth the heart of man to man saith Salomon As there is a full agreement twixt the liuing face and the representation in the water so twixt Iudas his heart and any other mans as there is the same nature of all lyons so of all men Let then the schoole-men goe and teach that Thom. in supple Contrition is not for Originall but onely Actuall and those mortall sinnes But he that shall in searching see what a bottomlesse gulfe what a filthie sincke it is shall see what cause he hath to bewaile it with Paul and with Dauid Rom. 7. Psal 51. II. For Actuall sinnes we must search out what we can 1. The number 2. The hainousnesse of them 1. As touching the number diuers directions for search may be giuen A man may consider himselfe according to those diuers relations wherein he stands bound to God to himselfe to his brethren either in the Church as a Minister in the Common-wealth as a Magistrate in the family as father mother childe master seruant husband wife Now a man should carry himselfe along through all these considerations and examine himselfe of the discharge of his duty and in euery one of them Or else he may deuide his time according to the seuerall places and conditions wherein hee hath passed it So much time spent in my Parents family so much in apprentishippe so much in single life so much in marriage so much priuately so much in this or that publique calling so much in this towne so much in that so much in this house so much in that And heere he must examine himselfe how he hath filled vp the empty spaces of his houres what good he hath done in these seuerall portions of time But the best way of examination is by the Law of the ten commandement truely vnderstood and applied For many will acknowledge themselues sinners in grosse but come to the particulars of the Law and then they are innocent they neuer brake either the first or second or third c. commandement Like as if a man saying he were sicke and being thereupon asked where and led a long from his head to the feete should yet then be well in euery particular part The reason is because the Law is not vnderstood by them For by the Law Rom 3. vnderstood comes the knowledge of sinne Therefore to helpe vs in examining our hearts by the Law these rules of interpretation must bee remembred 1. Vnder the negatiue the affirmatiue is comprehended When euill is forbidden the contrary good is commanded 2. Vnder one good or euill action all of the same kinde or nature are comprehended yea all occasions and meanes leading thereto 3. The Law is spirituall and bindes euen the heart and thoughts thereof 4. The Law requires not onely our obseruation but preseruation that is that we doe not only keep it our selues but cause others also what in vs lieth to keep it And therefore it forbids not only the doing of euill our selues but helping or any way furthering of others though but by silence conniuence or slight reproofe as that of Eli to his sonnes This rule is gathered out of the fourth commandement Thou thy sonne c. which by proportion must be applied to all the rest 5. That specially wee must search our selues by the first and last commandement for that they pierce deeper then the rest euen to thoughts not consented to Thus conceiuing of the Law lay it to thy heart and try thy selfe by it and loe with Ezekiel still shalt thou see new and fresh abhominations 1. Command Thou shalt haue no other Gods but mee Thou wilt say I beleeue that there is onely one true God maker of heauen and earth and I defie all the Idols of the Heathen Answ Yea but the Law is spirituall and claimes the heart the affections the thoughts In the which looke how many sinnes are cherished so many false gods are there chosen as it were Barrabasses rather then Christ Looke how many creatures thou inordinately louest fearest trustest reioycest in so many new gods hast thou coyned and wilt thou then plead not guilty this commandement arraigning thee 2. Command Thou shalt not make any grauen image O sayes one I abhorre the Popish images and the idolatry of the masse Yea but vnder the negatiue the affirmatiue is comprehended Doest thou loue the true worship of God as thou hatest the false Thou detestest Popish fasting louest thou true fasts Thou loathest the masse Delightest thou in the supper of the Lord Thou despisest the Priests of Antichrist Reuerencest thou the ministers of Christ These interrogatories will pose and pulse many 3. Command Take not Gods name in vaine I heare thee saying I cannot away with swearing Yea but doest thou reprooue others swearing Leu. 5. 1. for the Law must be preserued not obserued onely Againe vnder Gods name is comprehended his word workes and whatsoeuer it is whereby he makes himselfe knowen According to the rule vnder one kinde c. And diddest thou neuer heare sermons vnpreparedly irreuerently c. 4. Command Keepe holy the Sabaoth Why we worke not we trauell not Wee come to Church Yea
