I gave my brother Hanaeniah the Ruler of the Palace charge over Jerusalem for he was a faithfull man and feared God above many Neh. 7.2 Publick designations In publick designations to place or imployment it is good ordering and disposing men abroad according to their nearest relations and interests And appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem every one in his watch every one to be over against his own house Neh. 7.3 Originations In the proceedings of the business of God he hath his speciall times of working of new beginnings and originations for God is never at such a losse but he knowes where to begin and therefore we fall very short of Gods designe in doubtings and despondencies seeing that he is so immediate and infinite an Agent as he is And my God put into my heart to gather together the Nobles and the Rulers c. Gods Treasurers Gods work is of that nature that drawes out the strength and contribution of all sorts and God only seems to lay up provisions amongst his people for such a time Men are but treasurers for God and must open their coffers when providence puts the key into their hands And some of the c●iefe of the Fathers gave unto the worke and that which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand drams of gold c. Neh 7.72 73. Also we made ordinances for us to charge our selvs yearly for the service of the house of our God Neh. 10.32 Scriptures openly consulted It is the surest way to consult the Scriptures of God and finde out the minde of him in every part of our way to Reformation and to draw out those principles there which the people are to work by The more light the multitude see from thence the more firmly and faithfully will they walk And Ezra opened the book in the fight of the people day by day from the first day unto the last day he read in the book of the law of God The mixed or Neutralists There ought to be a godly and faithfull care in the times of Reformation to discriminate and separate those that are mixed or Neutralists for they are such as stand in the way and if the businesse flow into their orbe of negotiation there it sticks and is retarded In those dayes saw I also Jewes that had maried wives of Ashdod of Ammon and Moab and their children spake half in the speech of Ashdod and could not speak in the Jewes language And I contended with them and smote them Neh. 13.23 24. Prayer beforehand When we expect God down amongst us to do some great thing for his Church then should be the season of our holy assemblings meetings and it is a signe of Gods immediate following when he sends out a spirit of Prayer and Supplication beforehand Then returned they unto Jerusalem and all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication Act. 1.12 14. Publick appointments In publick appointments there is much godly prudence in selecting those that are not experimentally known amongst us Wherefore of those men which have accompanied with us all the time must one be ordained to be a witnes Act. 1.21 Resort and consociate When evident dangers and obstructions are in the way then it is good for the people of God to resort and consociate and to make the maine part of their designe a communicating of the state of their affairs to God for they relate most to him and it is the fittest to impart to him those impediments what he can only remove And being let go they went unto their own company and when they heard that they lift up their voyce to God with one accord c. Acts 4.23 Differences composed Differences amongst the godly are best healed and composed by the godly and meetings or gatherings of the people of God are remedies very agreeable to the distemper There arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews Then the twelve called the multitude of the Disciples together Spirituall provid●nce When once the Gospel hath been admitted there must be a spirituall providence used not only for propagating but strengthening and establishing Heard that Samaria had received the word they sent uato them Peter and John An eminent Agent If there be any one agent whom God hath eminently engaged and prospered in his work there ought to be an eminent care for his preservation and accommodation least the light fall out if the candlestick be broken And they watched the gates day and night to kill him then the Disciples took him by night and let him down by the wall in a basket Gracious seasons When the Lord gives any gracious seasons to his people from troubles or persecutions those times must be only Spirituall else the people of God come not up to his ends in the mercies received and it may be just with God to break off such seasons when they are no better acknowledged Then had the Churches rest and were edified walking in the fear of the Lord Care in communicating Where any thing is acted by any of the people of God by a more then ordinary light there ought to be much care in communicating and clearing up to the mindes of darker Brethren the reasons and grounds of such actings and no such disputings or contendings as may rather ravell out a controversie then guide into any orderly information And when Peter was come up they of the circumcision contended with him And Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning and expounded it by order unto them The whole counsels of God It is godly prudence to prepare people in their way to reformation with telling them as well of the Crosse as the Crown and to open the true constitution of things below and this i● to publish the whole counsels of God and to lay in a principle of patience and premonition before any thing come to passe They returned again and confirmed the soules of the Disciples and exhorting them to continue in the faith and that through much tribulation we must enter into the kingdom of Heaven FINIS Rom. 11.33.1 Joh. 5.7 Joh. 5.26 Rev. 8.22 Act. 17.28 Jer. 23.23 34.
