himselfe nor of his Saints and Angels Not of Christ himselfe because there are these differences betwixt him and an earthly King First he can heare all suites and supplications which may be put vp vnto him but an earthly King cannot because his businesse will not afford him so much time Secondly hee can be in no danger of sicknesse or destruction by the admittance of any person into his presence but an earthly King may because his body is subict to diseases and death as well as others which diseases and death may easily be brought vpon him by contagious and treacherous persons if once they may haue their free accesse vnto him vvhen they vvill Lastly hee cannot be deceiued by the false informations of such suppliants as doe come vnto him as who doth behold all things and see the very secrets of the hart within but an earthly King may because oftentimes both the persons themselues and also their suites are vnknowne vnto him Not of his Saints or Angels because there are these disagreements betwixt them and worldly courtiers First they cannot heare vs when we speake vnto them nor vnderstand what wee say in our praiers before them for that is a thing proper and peculiar to God alone to heare them that are farre absent from him and to vnderstand what is in their harts and soules within but worldly courtiers may heare and vnderstand those supplications which are brought vnto them because they are set downe in plaine termes and words before their eyes Secondly as they haue accesse vnto Iesus Christ so the rest of the Saints haue vvhich are liuing vpon the earth for the throne of grace is open as well for these as for them Heb. 4.16 and Chapter 10.19.20 Ephes 2.18 but vvorldly courtiers may come in boldly vnto their King when others are shut out because their faithfulnes is knowne and they haue some seruice to doe about his Maiestie Finally as they haue grace and fauour in the sight of Christ for the procurement of any benefit or good turne so all the reall members of his body haue also vvhich are here warring vpon the earth for hee is no accepter of persons Act. 10.34 35. and Math. 7.7 But worldly courtiers are so gratious with their Kings that they haue almost what they will aske when other silly subiects and base wretches are sent empty away and can obtaine little or nothing at all So that then this comparison or similitude is saples and not worth a rush and therefore let no wise man be moued by it Hauing thus gone ouer the Appellations let vs now stand a little vpon the Exhortations They are in number two as I told you before The first is Arise the second is come away Arise The Church at this time was in some drowsie security and much oppressed with a spirituall lazinesse that made her vnwilling to walke a●ter Christ her husband in the waves of eternall life Howsoeuer he came so neere her as to looke through his Gospell vpon her yet shee sate still and moued not so much as one foot to come vnto him such frailty and imperfection was in her Either she lay snorting in the pleasures of this present world or shee was pressed downe and tired with that heauy burthen of originall corruption spoken of in Hebr. 12.1 or she was terrified with outward persecution and so after the example of the Apostles fled as it were from Christ and hid her selfe in some cabbin or hole not daring to peepe out of the same But howsoeuer it came to passe whether this way or that way it is certaine that she was in some fault and is here called vpon to amend it for to Arise is nothing els but to leaue sin and to walke in righteousnes as wee may see by the Apostles words in 1 Cor. 15.34 when hee saith Awake to liue righteously and sin not so that to liue righteously and not to sinne any more is to Awake or to Arise Here in that Christ doth thus speake vnto his Church and will her to arise I might note vnto you first that the best of al are most fraile and full of imperfections then that they are to be stirred vp vnto their duties and to be whetted on by the words of Exhortation for surely they are like vnto greene wood that must be alwaies blowne vnto dull horses that must be alwaies spurd vnto blunt kniues that must be alwaies whet and vnto lame beasts that must be alwaies driuen But these things I will passe ouer and refer the meditation thereof vnto your selues The principall matter that I now will stand vpon is this Doct. That men must not continue in their sinnes but arise from them and leaue them So Esay doth teach vs saying Wash you make you cleane take away the euill of your workes from before mine eyes cease to doe euill learne to doe well Esay 1.16.17 So Ezechiel doth teach vs saying Cast away from you all your transgressions whereby you haue transgressed and make you a new heart and a new spirit for why will you die O house of Israel Ezec. 18.31 So Daniel doth teach vs saying Wherefore O King let my counsel be acceptable vnto thee and breake off thy sin by righteousnes and thine iniquity by mercy towards the poore loe let there be an healing of thine error Dan. 4.24 So Iohn the Baptist doth teach vs saying Repent for the kingdome of heauen is at hand O generation of Vipers who hath forewarned you to ●●ye from the anger to come bring forth therefore fruits worthy amendment of life and thinke not to say with your selues we haue Abraham to our father Mat. 3.2.7.8.9 So Christ doth teach vs. saying Behold thou art made whole sin no more lest a worse thing come vnto thee Ioh. 5.14 So Peter doth teach vs saying Amend your li●e● and be baptised euery one of you in the name of Iesus Christ for the remission of sins and ye shall receiue the gift of the holy Ghost Act. 2.38 So in a word Paul doth teach vs saying Awake thou that steepest and stand vp from the dead and Christ shall giue thee light Ephes 5.14 The reasons why we must leaue our sins Reason and not continue in them are chiefely foure First because they doe anger God whom we should please in all things and much offend his Maiesty When Moses and Aaron failed in their duties and committed in mans iudgment but a small fault at the Waters of Meribah when they did not sanctifie the Lord in the presence of the children of Israel as they should haue done the Lord was so offended with them for it that hee would not giue them leaue and so let them liue to bring their people into the land of Canaan which he had giuen vnto them Numb 2● 12 Secondly because they doe wound our soules and consciences troubling them as grauell doth our feet within our shooes as we may see by the example of Dauid complaining of his miserable estate in
