feel our Hearts afflicted with Shame and Remorse for our many and great Transgressions This is that temper of Soul which becomes the Fast that God hath chosen and which we profess to appear before him with O that we might all manifest to our selves and to the World by our future Behaviour that we have not dissembled with God this Day but at length humbled our selves in sincerity before him and indeed sorrowed after a Godly sort both for our own and the Nation 's Sins I shall conclude my Discourse with shewing VI. What are the necessary Fruits of such a true godly Sorrow First It must and will be followed with an actual forsaking the Sins we have mourned for and lamented If we are in earnest pricked to the Heart with the remembrance of our former Sins how can we consent to stick such Thorns into them again Can we be easily perswaded to repeat those Practices which have so deeply afflicted our Souls and created us so much Shame and Sorrow Can we willingly load our selves with those Burdens again we have heartily sighed and groaned under If we do return to the service of the same Lusts and persist in the same sinful Neglects we pretend to bewail it is most certain we are not humbled unto this Day we proclaim our selves Dissemblers with God or such extravagant lovers of Sin that though it hath cost us a great deal of Grief and Pain yet we cannot but still cherish and embrace it And then what will all our Sorrow avail It will aggravate the Guilt of our continued Disobedience and we shall be but the greater Sinners the greater Mourners we have been Secondly Our Sorrow and Humiliation must and if it be sincere it will be followed with vigorous and earnest Endeavours to restrain and reclaim Men from those evil Practices which give us so much Grief and Vexation To what purpose do we pretend to fast and mourn for the Sins of the Times if we neglect to do our parts to make them better It is very much in the Power of this Assembly of the Magistrates and Officers of this City to advance the Reformation of it at least to prevent the bold and publick commission of many of those Sins we are met together to humble our selves for And what provoking Hypocrisy must it be to pretend to mourn and be afflicted for those Maladies we have power to cure and will not Is it possible you can lay to Heart as you profess to do this Day the Dishonour is done to our God and Religion the Mischief is done to our Countrey and to the Souls of Men by the open and insolent Vices of the Age if any little private worldly Considerations can hold your Hands from a zealous and faithful execution of those Laws which are made for the Terror and Punishment of such evil Doers For God's sake then for the sake of our most Holy Religion for the sake of all that is dear to us here for the sake of those Souls for whom Christ died and for the discharge of our Oaths and Consciences let us do all that is proper for us in our several Places and Circumstances at least to repress the Growth and Insolence of open Wickedness Let the World see by our Zeal and Diligence and Courage in prosecuting this Design that we do not sigh and mourn in appearance only for the Abominations that are done in the midst of us that the sight of them is really so grievous and hateful to us that we cannot forbear as far as it is in our Power to force them out of Publick View and Practice We must all shortly appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ to give an Account of our executing those Trusts God hath reposed in us And do we not tremble to think of being found unfaithful in the most weighty and important Matters of our Duty both to God and Man But I am perswaded better things of you though I thus speak You have already given many Instances of your Zeal in striving against Sin and the Effects of it are not altogether invisible May its Flames increase and spread yet more and more till it have burnt up all those Briars and Thorns which prick and wound the Souls of all Righteous Men and hedg up our Way to Peace and Settlement Then would you have Praise of God and Peace in your Minds and the Applause of all good Men and the Generations to come would call you Blessed Then you would have comfort in the Hour of Death and boldness in the Day of Judgment and an exceeding great Reward in Heaven inestimable Treasures unfading Crowns and Joy unspeakable for ever more Amen FINIS Some Books Printed for B.
