ones be once repeled how vnprofitable or hurtful soeuer experience doth tell vs that they be The Lorde touch them with the care of it who haue especiall authoritie to redresse it I haue already bene verie long and the weather hath bene tedious vnto you a worde therefore or two of the last point and so I make an ende The maner of teaching and trayning of schollers in Christe his schoole is by teaching exhorting rebuking these things saith the Apostle Speake exhort and rebuke with al authoritie We can not conceiue the matters of saluation by of our selues they must be taught vs and whē we yeeld vnto thē in iudgement being persuaded of the truth therof it is another labor thē the former to be rightly affected with them And therefore they must be pressed vppon our affections by exhorting and rebuking for we are not by by truely touched with our duetie and humbled to the obedience thereof when once wee haue subscribed in our iudgement to the trueth and equitie of the thing Men must haue speciall cunning and skill from God that shall come within vs and make vs in iudgement and affection to yeelde vnto duetie howe shall they preache saith the Apostle vnlesse they be sent This argueth a strong a wonderfull corruption to be within vs which hath so blinded our reason and hardened our affection that they must be men of special gifts graces that shal be able to open the eyes of our mind to conceiue the trueth and to touche our affections so as they shal be moued to make conscience of the same Wee may well discerne then howe vnprofitable those ministers be in their place who know nothing howe to exhort and rebuke Who would hyre into his haruest a Mower that could not set an edge vppon his sith when it should happen to bee blunted by stones or other things that were hid in the grasse And is not teaching exhorting and rebuking the edge of the word which maketh it cut And be not our hearts of them selues if Sathan should cast in no outward occasions a grounde that is full of stones And what should he doe then in the haruest of the Lorde that can not giue an edge to the worde by strengthening the trueth of the doctrine if false prophetes teachers should cast in stones of heresie errenious opinions nor yet by waking and rowsing the affections of men by exhorting and rebuking according to sounde doctrine when Sathan shall as hee daily doeth cast in great and mightie stones of securitie and hardnes of heart Now the Seripture hath plainly foretold vs that in these latter dayes especially the Lord his field shal be full of such stones It is a matter that ought to get both teares and prayers from vs euen in the behalfe of the Lord as well as in respect of our selues to see so many vnmeete men in our cuntrey carie sithes into the Lords haruest who when once they meete with any stoppe and be set but a litle beside their booke must be forced to rethrne home with their sithes vpon their shoulders and let the Lords medon● cōtinue vntill it shal be withered or eaten vp of the aduersarie The Lord giue them heartes to thinke of it whose labour although it were but a litle might do great good for the reformation thereof And as the Churche hath a great plague of these men so hath it of another sort who haue giftes and are wel able teach and to exhort but yet for all that they wyll not abide bee resident vppon theyr flockes to discharge that duetie in theyr owne persons but carelesly committe them ouer vnto others An offence that in the greatest darknesse of Popery hath ben founde faulte withall among them selues and taken to haue beene the onely decay of theyr kingdome And therefore a pitifull thyng it is that in this light of the Gospel it shoulde not be acknowledged that there is great sinne in suche thinges Espensaeus a Popish Prelate affirmeth that a famous Preacher of his time did oftentimes thūder out against those men that so carelesly set ouer their charges vnto others telling them plainely that the Lorde would serue them in the worlde to come according as they did serue him here Adibunt per vicarios Paradisu in persona inferos The Lord sayth he will send such men to heauen by Vicars and to hell in their owne persons He confesseth that the Preacher did openly denounce such iudgementes against them Solitus est palàm illis polliceri vicariam salutem personalem verò perniciem Others shal goe to heauen for them sayth he for as for themselues in their owne person they must be of necessitie resident vnto a personage of theyrs in Hell whiche is called perdition The speache as hee confesseth is ouer pleasaunt for so weightie graue a matter as also for so heauy hard iudgement God graunt that so pleasaunt speach may sinde gentle and courteous intertainment with so many as shal be found fault heerein Wel so great is the corruption of our nature that wee haue neede of diligent teaching exhorting rebuking if we shal yeeld any glory vnto our God or good example to our brethrē To conclude therefore for I haue stonde long and am afraid haue weried you as wel as my self The Lord of al Maiestie power graunt that as Christe Iesus when hee came into the worlde founde the Sheepheardes of Iurie carefully looking to theyr flockes so when hee shall come againe too iudgement hee maye fynde those Sheepheardes who haue his Churche and chosen people for their flocke so diligently watching faithfully attending ouer the same as that by the meanes therof he may haue great glorie from his people by plentifull fruites of godlinesse righteousnesse and sobrietie and that the Gospell being in all places thus glorified our consciences may be truely comforted in Christ Iesus To whom with the Father and the holy Ghost one true and euerliuing God be al honor glorie and dominion both nowe and euer Amen 1.
