Angel from heauen preach vnto you otherwise then that which we haue preached vnto you let him be accursed Thus we haue heard what flatterers haue been in the Church of God from time to time labouring to seduce and draw Gods children from true religion and his seruice which may be a sufficient warning vnto vs as we haue shewed before lest we be carried away vnto falsehood and become irreligious and profane imbracing the doctrine of diuels for the doctrine of Christ Which many times falleth out amongst vs for want of due care had ouer our selues and therefore it will not be amisse for vs to auoid as much as may be the company of the wicked least by our societie with them we be drawne to ioyne with them in their corrupt religion as also in a profane conuersation Let vs take heed that we lend not our eares to the inchanted melodie of those Sytens whose songs may breed a sweet delight in vs and yet our destruction may be at hand Thus we will conclude this second point that as Absolon by the courteous carriage of himselfe stale away the hearts of his fathers subiects so these Princes by their reuerent behauiour stole away the heart of this king from his God And so much for the second circumstance Now foloweth the three circuÌ„stance in these words And the King harkened vnto theÌ„ Which is as much as if the holy Ghost had said he accepted of their counsell and being deluded by them he declined from the true seruice of God wherein he had been trained vp all his life time by Iehoiada the high Priest and was now fallen away We must not thinke that it was vnlawfull for the King to heare them for in that he heard their counsel he sinned not but in that he obeyed them and was contented to be led by them vnto Idolatrie thereby he incurred the wrath of God and brought a heauie iudgement vpon himselfe and his subiects And therfore it is the part of all good christians and louing subiects to pray vnto God and that continually that it would please his Maiestie so to inlighten all christian kings and princes of the earth with the spirit of wisedome and discerning that they may auoid and slie the dangerous allurements of the wicked whom the Lord sometime suffereth to sit in the place of Magistracie enen to be a rod for the people For Salomon saith I haue seen seruants on horses Princes walk as seruats on the grouÌ„d which saying of Salomon may be thus vnderstood Prou. 10.7 that somtime both in the Church and Commonwealth the vnworthie and vnfit ones are preferred before the worthie and being set at the sterne of the ship they like vnskilfull Pylots suffer the ship to go to wracke But in this thing we must not thinke the hand of God to be wanting but that hee by his prouidence vseth them as a scourge to correct his people as he vsed Nabucadnezer and Senacherib and diuers others to afflict and persecute the stubborne and disobedient Iewes and therefore Dauid his counsell is to be listned vnto whereas he exhorteth all kings and rulers of the earth to submit themselues vnder the hand of God in these words Be wise now therefore ye Kings be learned yee Iudges of the earth Psal 2.10 serue the Lord in feare And therefore if there be any that wil learne true wisedome and be truly wise they must be Gods schollers they must bee contented to he are him speaking vnto them out of his word And so soon as they know that it is the voice of God their answer must be obedience and must say with Samuel speake on Lord 1. Sam. 3.10 thy seruant heareth Thus we must bend our eares vnto God when he speaketh vnto vs by his ministers whom he hath placed ouer vs for our instruction When the people of Israel were to inioy that good land which the Lord had promised them by the right of inheritance and had destroyed many nations kings for their sakes what did the Lord require of them in lieu of his wonderous workes which he wrought vpon Pharao the Aegyptians Sheon king of the Amorits which dwelt at Heshbon and Og the king of Basan and tooke their Cities and diuided them among the tribes of Israel as we may read in Deut. Deut. 3. Truly hee requireth this that they would harken vnto his lawes ordinances and statutes which he gaue them by the hand of Moses his seruant whom he had placed ouer them in authoritie as appeareth further in the next chapter of this booke where hee thus speaketh vnto the people from the Lord. Now therefore hearken O Israel vnto the ordinances Deut. 4. and to the lawes which I teach you to doe them that ye may liue and go in and possesse that land which the Lord God of your fathers giueth you And again he saith Keepe them therfore and do them for that is your wisedome and your vnderstanding in the sight of the people which shall heare of all these ordinances and shall say onely this people is wise and of vnderstanding and a great nation c. Thus euerie one from the highest to the lowest must hearken to the lawes of God set downe vnto them in his word to do them for this is true wisedome and true vnderstanding both before God and men Yea other nations shall be constrained to acknowledge and confesse that this our people nation is a wise people and of vndestanding yea further the Lord maketh most sweet promises vnto theÌ„ if they wil hearken vnto his lawes to do them Deut. 28. as we may read in the same booke where also he doth denounce threaten to lay his curses vpon them which do the contrarie And againe in the fifth of this booke when Moses was to deliuer the law written in Tables of stone which he had receiued of the Lord to deliuer vnto Israel he called all the people together and said vnto them Deut. 5. Heare O Israel the ordinances and lawes which I propose to you this day And againe in the next chapter he hath the like words saying Heare therfore O Israel and take heed to do it And again he saith Deut. 6. heare O Israel the Lordour God is Lord onely And thus as Moses laboured that the people of Israel should apply their eares hearts to heare and to do that which he taught them from the Lord euen so should we apply the same and lay them vp in our hearts with blessed Marie Luke â— and ponder them to our further comfort But it is the nature of man to haue his eares open to heare the counsell of men many times before the counsel of God and according to the affection we beare vnto them we are conteÌ„ted to suffer our selues to be led by them whether it be with or against the truth whereby many times it falleth out to our ouerthrow destruction as we shal hereafter

Luke 8 there being a throng of many people it should seeme shee stood not vpon her disparagement or discredit which shee might reape by her going to the Sermon of Christ and that also to the sea side neither yet did she much respect her own case for we do not read of any pewes stooles or cushins that were prepared for her No no shee stood not vpon any of these things as many of our tender dames doe now a daies who may if they will heare the word of God in our publique assemblies in the Church and not trauell as they did farre for it but this must be the worke of the spitit of God in theÌ„ as no doubt it was in this Ladie and the other woman who went with an earnest desire to profit themselues by the doctrine of Christ which desire if it be wanting in any that vseth to heare the word they shall hardly profit by it And therefore as it is said that Simeon came into the Temple by the motion of the fpirit and found Christ so if we will finde Christ to our saluation Luke 2 let vs craue at the hands of God the assistance of his holy spirit when we frequent the exercises of religion and thus much for the fourth point Now it followeth in the last circuÌ„stance And wrath came vpon Iuda Ierusalem because of their trespasse The wrath of God as one saith is not an heat of a troubled mind as it is in vs poore wretches but a iust reuenge and punishment of our sinnes and the scripture doth very notably speake vnto vs according to our capacitie in attributing vnto God wrath furie and indignation and it is because that we for the most part are so blockish as that we cannot apprehend as we ought the greatnesse of his diuine Maiestie neither yet seare his iudgements the wrath of God is so fearefull a thing that no consuming fire or the most terrible things that are vsed of the Lord to correct his people cannot at the ful sufficiently informe vs of the great vehemencie thereof the Prophet saith If a man will not turne he will whet his sword he hath bent his bow and made it readie he hath prepared the instruments of death Psal 7.12 he hath prepared his arrowes against the persecutors c. The Lord will not suffer the wicked to goe scotfree and vnpunished for so it standeth with his iustice and yet he is slow to anger and such a one as is sorie for our offences We haue many excamples in the scripture how hee meeteth with all sorts of sinners yea the Lord spared not our grand parents Adam and Eue but for their offences he banished then out of Eden which was a most fruitfull and delightfull place and also inflicted a grieuous punishment vpon them first saying to the woman I will greatly increase thy sorrowes and thy conceptions In sorrow shalt thou bring forth thy children Gen. 3. and thy desire shal be subiect to thy husband and he shall rule ouer thee Also vnto Adam he said Because thou hast obeyed the voyce of thy wife and hast eaten of the tree whereof I commaunded thee saying thou shalt not eate of it cursed is the earth for thy sake c. And further he saith In the sweat of thy face thou shalt eate bread till thou returne to the earth Gen. 7. For sinne the old worlde was destroyed with the flood Gen. 18. Sodom was consumed with fire and brimstone Corah and his company went downe into the bowels of the earth The Israelites were grieuously punished many times for their disobedience and manifold rebellions as appeareth in the books of Moses and the Prophets Dauid lost threescore and ton thousand men Chro. 1. chap. 21. whom the Lorde destroyed with the pestilence Saul was deposed from his kingdome afflicted and vexed with a diuell and after slaine as also his owne sonnes his armour bearer and his men in one day Roboam the sonne of Salomon of 12. tribes lost ten Sedecias was ledde captiue into Babilon 2. King 4. Exod. 14.27 and his eyes put out Pharaoh with his chariots ouerwhelmed in the red Sea Herod came to a horrible end Senacharib slaine by his owne seruants Chron. 2. chap. 32. Iesabell cast out of the window Ionas cast into the sea Ionas 1. A certaine Prophet slaine by a lyon 1. Kin. 20. The children that mocked the man of God Elizeus were torne with Beares Infinite are the examples of Gods wrath and heauie displeasure vpon the wicked and prophane as wee may reade of Esau Absolon Achitophel Iudas with many other Yea the Lorde hath punished many Kingdoms for sinne the Romaines the kingdom of the Chaldeans the kingdome of the Persians the kingdom of the Macedonians the Carthaginians nay the Lord hath not spared the famous citie of Ierusalem with the holy temple where his Namedwelt But as he did often afflict the Iewes his chosen people so at the last he made Ierusalem eueÌ„ with the ground neuer to be reedified againe which was especially for the contempt of his word which hee sent vnto them by his Prophets and also for reiecting of our Sauiour Christ with his doctrine and myracles which he wrought among them and therefore our Sauiour prophecyeth of their perpetuall destruction Paul preached to the Colossians Hierapolitans and Laodiceans but they contemned his doctrine and therefore one witnesseth Oriofius lib. 7. cap. 5. that the earth opened and swallowed them vp But what should I say the reward of sinne is death and the soule that sinneth shal die and to draw to an end this punishment which the Lord laid vpon Ioash the Princes and people may be sufficient to admonish vs to beware of Idolatrie or any other sinne least we pull the like iudgements vpon our owne heads and let vs remember what one saith the punishment of one is an example for all then it remaineth that as we haue heard that God is iust in punishing of sinne as well in his children as in the wicked that we labour to preuent his wrath by turning vnto him before wee feele the like iudgement and let vs not passe by any affliction or trouble which hee vseth to lay vpon any or vpon our selues but rather to lay them to our hearts making that vse of them for the which they are sent which is that we may by them he made more fitte for God this vse made Dauid of his troubles when he said Psal 119. Ecclc. 7. It was good for me that I was in trouble c. and Salomon saith It is better to go to the house of mourning then to the house of feasting for the liuing will lay it to his heart So it is better sometime to be inaduersitie then in prosperitie for good men will make vse of it but it is the policie of Sathan that wee should neuer apply God his iudgements which we see to be vpon others vnto our selues in such sort as wee
