Matth. 25. 41. Depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the Devill and his Angels If this be a horrid thing to consider and which ought to make our haire stand upright and our flesh to tremble let not us laugh but feare and tremble to fall into Satans hands hearing out of the words of my Text that his only desire is to sever us from the elect and godly to prepare us for the finall sentence of Iudgment to make us ready for the curse of God and everlasting fire of hell For what can more plainly be understood by these words of our Saviour to Peter Satan hath desired to have you that he may sift you as wheat What doth the Husbandman when he sifteth his wheat but with the help of the wind separate the chaffe from the good grane Even so the Devill striveth and endeavoureth to sift us as wheat which is as much as to say to separate us from the Elect and chosen people of the Lord from the good Laws of God from the good and wholesome Doctrine of the Church This was the only endeavour of Satan the night of the Passion of our Lord to sever and separate not only Peter but the rest of the disciples from the company of their master like chaffe from the true grane who said of himselfe that he was the grane that was to be buried in the earth that afterwards he might spring up again with great increase for all his Church O if every Christian soule would take this point to consideration how the Devill desireth and endeavoureth to sever us like chaffe fit for nothing but for the fire and for that dreadfull sentence of damnation Depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire Doubtles we would feare to commit the sins which daily we commit doubtles we would tremble to yeeld to the power of such a tyrant doubtlesse we would take no rest in sin as we do if we did but consider that by it we are become dry chaffe separated from the heavenly grane our Saviour Christ severed from all those fruitfull granes and members of the Church who standing on the right hand shall through their fruitfull Faith at last be laid up in that storehouse of everlasting blisse and felicity when the sinner like chaffe already severed from the grane by the Devils endeavours expecteth nothing but death to burn for ever In the 12 Chap. of Judges and 6 ver. I have observed a pretty History for this purpose where the Scripture speaking of a battaile fought betwixt the Gileadites and the Ephraimites saith that the men of Gilead smote Ephraim and put the Ephraimites to flight towards the river of Jordan And the Gileadites tooke the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites And it was so that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said Let me go over that the man of Gilead said unto him Art thou an Ephraimite If he said Nay Then said they unto him say now Shibbobeth and he said Sibboleth for he could not frame to pronounce it right Then they tooke him and slew him at the passage of Jordan and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites fourty and two thousand Dearely Beloved two things I would wish you to note in this History of Holy Scripture The first that at the passages over Jordan these Ephraimites were examined who they were Secondly that because they could not say Shibboleth but insteed of it they said Sibboleth therefore they were slaine Shibboleth according to the true translation signisieth An eare of Corne And Sibboleth signifieth the chaffe or the straw that remaineth when the corne is separated from it So that we find that the sword killed all such as could not say Shibboleth or Eare of Corne but instead of it pronounced Sibboleth Straw or chaffe separated from the corne O Christian and devout Soule take out of this a lesson of morality and judge thy selfe a rebellious Ep●raimite always warring against thy God and Maker When thou sinnest what doest thou but rebell against thy Creator who at last will be too hard for thee But when When he shall meet thee at the passage over Jordan that is when as water thou shalt slide away Omnes morimur quasi aqua dilabimur we do all dye and like water slide and fall away O what a day will that be when thy Soule is to passe away from thy body When thy Soule is to passe over from this world to the other yet never seen O then shall meet thee the true Gileadite against whom thou hast rebelliously fought with the Sword of Iustice in his hand then shall begin thy tryall for thy life or death of thy Soule then shalt thou be commanded to say Shibboleth to say if truely thou beest an ear full of weighty and fruitfull grane of fruitfull Faith But if thou canst not say but Sibboleth that thou art fruitlesse that thou art a light straw a little chaffe separated from the true grane Christ Iesus then expect the wrath of God expect the the bloud of his sword of Iustice expect if he find thee among the wicked separated from the good that this thy being sifted this division and separation of thee from the just and righteous shall be a fore-running messenger of that finall sentence of damnation Depart from me you cursed into everlasting fire God forbid that in this Congregation there be any such chaffe any such dry straw separated from the fruitfull granes of the Church and fit only for the flames of Hel. I hope the Devill hath not so far prevailed with any But of my selfe with shame I may say that I have been that rebellious Ephraimite that have almost 40 years warred obstinatly against my Lord and Maker I am that wicked Ephraimite not able to pronounce since my first use of reason this word Shiboleth not able to say I had ever any fruitfull Faith or have ever been a f●uitful grane but have always pronounced Sibboleth have alwayes beene like bran sifted from the white flower like chaffe separated from the grane fit onely for the fire of Hell For what fruitfull Faith could be in me that instead of worshipping only my God and Lord have bowed my knee so often to worship for God a peece of bread according to that damnable doctrine of the Papists which now I abjure and renounce who teach that in their Communion is no substance of bread or wine but the true Reall and Physicall body and bloud of Christ A thing so against Scripture which teacheth that Christ since his glorious Ascension can be no more upon the earth much lesse in severall places and severall peeces of bread but that he must be in Heaven untill that last Iudgment day as ye shall find in the 3 Chap. of the Acts in the 20 21. vers. saying And hee shal sena Jesus Christ which before was preached unto you whom the heavens must receive untill the time of restitution of all things which God hath
