Preached at Paules Crosse the xxvi. daye of October, an. 1578 by Laurence Chaderton Batcheler of Diuinitie.	Chaderton, Laurence, 1536?-1640.	1578 (1578)	STC 4924; ESTC S117846	46,847	118

man_n in_o all_o estate_n and_o degree_n of_o calling_n as_o of_o prince_n priest_n and_o people_n so_o they_o do_v with_o great_a authority_n and_o boldness_n discover_v their_o several_a and_o particular_a sin_n and_o threaten_v against_o they_o present_a destruction_n and_o the_o fearful_a judgement_n of_o god_n as_o may_v appear_v to_o every_o one_o that_o shall_v read_v with_o diligence_n &_o judgement_n their_o prophecy_n wherefore_o brief_o to_o conclude_v this_o point_n of_o doctrine_n the_o three_o parable_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n in_o the_o history_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o the_o field_n floor_n and_o net_n write_v for_o a_o plain_a declaration_n hereof_o shall_v full_o satisfy_v and_o content_v every_o one_o that_o believe_v he_o to_o be_v the_o only_a teacher_n of_o all_o truth_n and_o righteousness_n etc_n for_o even_o as_o in_o the_o field_n there_o grow_v up_o not_o only_o sound_v corn_n but_o also_o tare_n cockle_n and_o darnel_n in_o the_o floor_n there_o be_v not_o only_o pure_a wheat_n 3.17_o but_o also_o chaff_n in_o the_o net_n not_o only_o good_a thing_n but_o bad_a as_o filth_n and_o such_o like_a 13.47_o so_o in_o the_o militant_a and_o visible_a church_n the_o field_n floor_n and_o net_n of_o the_o lord_n there_o be_v not_o only_o sincere_a and_o faithful_a but_o also_o hypocritical_a and_o faithless_a worshipper_n of_o god_n not_o only_o upright_o and_o constant_a doer_n of_o the_o word_n but_o also_o vain_a and_o idle_a talker_n of_o the_o same_o final_o not_o only_a such_o as_o with_o good_a conscience_n pure_a heart_n and_o faith_n unfeigned_a do_v serve_v the_o lord_n and_o his_o church_n but_o such_o also_o as_o be_v reprobate_a to_o every_o good_a work_n who_o end_n be_v to_o be_v cast_v eternal_o from_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n and_o to_o be_v burn_v as_o chaff_n in_o the_o fearful_a furnace_n of_o god_n wrath_n and_o everlasting_a indignation_n see_v therefore_o that_o the_o example_n of_o habel_n and_o cain_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n of_o ishmael_n and_o isaac_n jaakob_n and_o esau_n in_o the_o family_n of_o abraham_n and_o of_o isaac_n see_v god_n he_o self_n in_o the_o 50_o psalm_n and_o in_o the_o nine_o and_o twenty_o of_o isaiah_n see_v also_o all_o the_o prophet_n in_o their_o prophecy_n and_o our_o saviour_n christ_n the_o doctor_n of_o all_o truth_n both_o in_o the_o three_o former_a parable_n as_o also_o in_o this_o present_a place_n do_v declare_v teach_v and_o confirm_v the_o truth_n of_o these_o two_o sort_n of_o professor_n who_o be_v so_o blind_a that_o he_o can_v not_o see_v this_o who_o so_o faithless_a that_o will_v not_o believe_v it_o who_o so_o impudent_a that_o will_v not_o confess_v it_o final_o who_o can_v be_v so_o injurious_a to_o his_o own_o salvation_n that_o have_v so_o many_o witness_n and_o such_o daily_a and_o continual_a experience_n of_o this_o truth_n will_v not_o give_v his_o good_n body_n life_n and_o all_o that_o he_o may_v be_v account_v of_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o dreadful_a day_n of_o judgement_n a_o doer_n and_o worker_n of_o his_o will_n the_o use_n of_o this_o certain_a doctrine_n serve_v to_o move_v all_o true_a christian_n to_o take_v great_a pain_n and_o care_n to_o frame_v their_o heart_n and_o work_n according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_o then_o only_o to_o have_v a_o outward_a show_n and_o appearance_n of_o godliness_n as_o also_o to_o fear_v and_o terrify_v the_o heart_n of_o all_o true_a professor_n from_o forsake_v the_o true_a church_n of_o god_n for_o the_o impiety_n and_o ungodliness_n of_o some_o know_v that_o for_o the_o trial_n of_o god_n elect_v heresy_n &_o vice_n must_v continue_v in_o the_o church_n till_o christ_n at_o his_o come_n abolish_v they_o with_o the_o breath_n of_o his_o mouth_n and_o crush_v all_o the_o wicked_a in_o piece_n with_o the_o iron_n rod_n and_o sceptre_n of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o so_o deliver_v the_o whole_a government_n of_o all_o

of_o all_o faithful_a obedience_n to_o god_n the_o which_o kind_n of_o profession_n though_o it_o seem_v good_a and_o glorious_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o man_n yet_o the_o lord_n which_o only_o look_v

of_o all_o work_n of_o love_n and_o compassion_n these_o two_o in_o our_o judgement_n be_v without_o all_o comparison_n the_o chief_a for_o what_o great_a love_n can_v any_o man_n show_v towards_o the_o soul_n of_o his_o brother_n then_o by_o preach_v to_o deliver_v it_o from_o the_o kingdom_n of_o darkness_n and_o translate_v it_o into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o light_n or_o what_o great_a love_n

whereof_o we_o have_v speak_v before_o at_o large_a in_o consideration_n whereof_o bless_a paul_n do_v justify_v his_o preach_n not_o because_o he_o do_v preach_v for_o woe_n be_v unto_o i_o say_v he_o 9.16_o if_o i_o preach_v not_o the_o gospel_n but_o because_o he_o observe_v the_o right_a manner_n &_o order_n of_o preach_v the_o which_o manner_n 20.24_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o i_o can_v

vers_fw-la he_o rejoice_v that_o he_o come_v not_o with_o excellency_n of_o word_n or_o of_o wisdom_n show_v unto_o the_o corinthian_n the_o testimony_n of_o god_n and_o also_o that_o his_o word_n and_o preach_v stand_v not_o in_o the_o entice_a speech_n of_o man_n wisdom_n but_o in_o plain_a evidence_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o power_n that_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o hearer_n shall_v not_o

ought_v those_o that_o be_v builder_n thereupon_o to_o build_v after_o a_o heavenly_a and_o spiritual_a manner_n as_o the_o apostle_n teach_v in_o another_o place_n compare_v this_o heavenly_a man_n to_o gold_n silver_n and_o precious_a stone_n and_o the_o contrary_a to_o timber_n hay_o and_o stubble_n in_o these_o word_n 3.12_o if_o any_o man_n build_v upon_o this_o foundation_n gold_n silver_n

and_o examine_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o gold_n silver_n etc_n etc_n be_v try_v by_o the_o fire_n therefore_o paul_n in_o great_a boldness_n and_o authority_n speak_v on_o this_o manner_n to_o

which_o shall_v least_o savour_n of_o carnal_a wisdom_n and_o have_v great_a power_n to_o turn_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o hearer_n unto_o god_n and_o as_o the_o apostle_n do_v say_v of_o himself_o
