the wife incouraged the husband saying Sweet heart heave a good heart for this day our marriage with our Lord Iesus shall bee accomplished The religious Gentlewoman Graveron called the day of her martyrdome the day of her marriage with Christ and seeing her companions refuse to give their tongues because there was no such thing mentioned in their sentence she being but a woman resolved them saying It is reasonable and sit that the tongue which hath the priviledge to praise God should also have the prerogative to leape first upon the Altar of burnt offering So Claude Tierry called the halter which was put about her necke the Carkanet and the rope wherewith she was bound to the post the girdle of her marriage with Iesus Christ and therupon made a most excellent discourse of the spirituall marriage of the Lord Iesus with his Church which begins here in the valley of death and is consummated in the mountaines of spices Minut Felix Quam ●ulchrum spectacadum Deo cum Ch●●●ia 〈…〉 Congrea●us c. V●it enim qut quod con●en●it obtinu● O how pleasant a sight is it in the eyes of God when a Christian buckles with griefe and p ine when he sets himselfe in aray against threats punishments torments when he scoffingly ieasts at the dreadfull name of death at the lowring countenance of the pitilesse hangman when he holds up his libertie against Kings and Princes and yeelds to none but to God to whom he belongs when like a most glorious Triumpher and Conqueror hee insults and triumphes over his Iudge who hath condemned him For he which hath obtained that wherefore he fought hath vainquished XIIX There is nothing difficile where faith in God is nothing dreadfull where the love of God is nothing dolorous where true zeale to the glory of God is As the light of the sunne dimmeth all other lights and as the heat of the sunne cooleth all other heats so the light of faith dimmeth that which worldly men call the light of reason Reason saith as the Proconsull said to Cyprian Take time and advise Faith answereth as Cyprian did a In rebus Dei non est delibecandum In Gods affaires no man must advise Reason saith it is a sweet thing to live Faith saith it is better to dye for Christ than to live without Christ So also the heat of love and true zeale extinguisheth the heat of most burning fires When naturall sense saith it is burning Love answereth it is not so much as hot These are the victories of the faithfull in their most sensible torments they are so ravished and transported by faith with the love of their Saviour that as it were it benummeth them so that they heede not their paines as if they were senselesse for b 1. Ioh. 5.4 whatsoever is borne of God overcommeth the world and this is the victory that overcommeth the world even our faith XIX The Lord in his great mercy increase our faith whereby in this surceasing of outward enemies we may fight valiantly against our inward and spirituall foes which are more dangerous closing our hearts to all the suggestions of Satan to covetousnesse to pride to choler to all the ticklings of filthy lust shutting our eyes to vanity stopping our eares to calumnies flatterers all evill counsells keeping our spirits our soules our bodies blamelesse unto the comming of our Lord Iesus Christ That fighting so we may overcome overcomming triumph triumphing receive the crowne of glory and of immortalitie which God hath prepared for us before the beginning of the world through the precious merites of our LORD IESVS CHRIST to whom with the Father and the Holy Ghost bee all prayse all glory all honour both now and for evermore Amen SERM. VIII Of the manner and time of the righteous mans Deliverances ESAIAH XXVI 20. Come my people enter thou into thy chambers and shut thy doores about thee hide thy selfe as it were for a little moment untill the indignation bee overpast 21. For behold the Lord commeth out of his place to visite the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquitie the earth also shall disclose her blood and shall no more cover her slaine 1. THe Church like unto the Phoenix findeth life in death 2. Because God according to his promise in this text reviveth her 3. He saveth her often by flight which sometimes is not lawfull 4. At other times is lawfull and necessarie and is commanded by God in this text according to the literall sense 5. Is also confirmed by the examples of godly men in the time of the old Testament 6. In the new Testament Christ himselfe hath commanded to flye in time of persecution 7. And hath confirmed his commandement by his own example the examples of his Apostles and many other most constant and courageous Christians 8. Flying prooved lawfull by three reasons 9. Fleeing is not a forsaking and denying but a confessing of Christ 10. This text in a figurative and allegoricall sense is an exhortation to patience 11. The first argument mooving us to patience is the will of God 12. The second is his wisedome whereby hee converteth all evills to the good of his Church 13. The third is the truth of his promises 14. In the second part of this text he promiseth that the persecution shall last but a moment 15. He reckoneth the yeers the moneths the dayes the moments of the affliction of his Church 16. How affliction which to us seemeth so long is said to continue but for a moment 17. Till that moment expire we must relye upon the truth of Gods promise I. AS of the ashes of the Phoenix when it seemeth to be nothing but dust groweth up another So when the Church to mans iudgement is gone lost and past all hope of recoverie when the persecuters say of her that which the Traytor Absalom a Psal 22.8 Mat. 27.43 and the treacherous Rebells that followed him said of David and the chiefe Priests Scribes and Elders of Christ Hee trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him let him deliver him seeing he delighted in him Then then God by a most excellent and wonderfull deliverance reviveth her and maketh her to spring up againe more beautifull and glorious than she was before The third day of the Massacre of Paris Thuan. lib. 53. which was the Sunday in the moneth of August a bramble flourished in St. Innocents Church-yard The Papists ran to gaze upon it but could not tell wherefore and how a dry thorne blossomed in harvest out of due time and feason except that some tooke it as a token that God approoved their most unnaturall and savage crueltie but the wisest and best sort remembring that b Numb 17.8 Aarans rod which was but a dry peece of wood budded and blossomed and yeelded almonds when the Lord confirmed the Priesthood in the house of Levi and that the condition of the Church was represented unto c Exod. 3.2 Moses by
