THE READY WAY to Everlasting Life OR A perfect Remedy against the Poyson of SIN In this little Book is contained many severall and excellent vertues which being wel read heard understood and made use of it will both direct and instruct all sorts of people old and young rich and poor men and women and children how to order their lives in this world so that they may enjoy the blessings which Christ hath prepared for them in the world to come which is life Everlasting Here is Consolation for the Soul Here is comfort for the Body Here is ease for a troubled Conscience And here is content for the mind O hear ye this all ye people ponder it with your Eares all ye that dwell in the world high and low rich and poore one with another Psal 29.1 2. By L. P. Printed for R. Gilbertson 1665. The ready way to Everlasting Life OR A perfect Remedy against the Poyson of Sin IN the first place my invitations I prefer to all people but especially to them that are stricken in age and are ready to go to to their Grave I invite you therfore to observe those directions which are necessary for Salvation and withall to consider what a smal quantity of time you have to live in the world we read in the Scriptures that Adam lived nine hundred and 30 years and he dyed Seth lived nine hundred and 12 yeares and he dyed and also the dayes of Canaan was nine hundred and ten years and he dyed and all the days of Methasala was 9 hundred sixty and nine years and he dyed as you may read it large in the 5. Chap. of Genesis We also read and know that David was a valiant man Solomon a wise man Sampson a strong man Absolon a beautiful man and Adam a rich man for the Lord God made him Lord and Master of all other creatures Gen. 1 28. yet all those dyed as they came from the Earth even so they returned to the dust What reason hath any man therefore in our times to flatter themselves to forget that they must all go to the earth from whence they came seeing by daily experience that no man can add one Cubite to his own stature nor no man can prolong his own life one hour nor can all the men of the world resist the will of God for Gods will must be done both in earth and in heaven as you may read in Mathew the 5. Is the case so plain then that all men must in a short space forsake the world for ever why then I would intreat all men to follow these directions and to forsake sin before sin forsake them Moreover I would desire every man and woman that as they would prepare and make themselves ready to goe to a rich and glorious wedding on the very next morrow where is all kinds of varieties of what your hearts can crave or your tongue ask for so would I have you every day to make ready prepare your selves to go to God as one that have a long journey to go or to ride will be up early in the morning to set forward on the way lest by his negligence he should come too late to his journies end and so be kept out of his appointed lodging in the like manner I would intreat all those that are willing to be the Servants and Disciples of our Lord and Master Jesus Christ to prepare themselves with all speed that possible they may or can to come to the place where their Lord and Master is which is indeed a place of happinesse there is mirth without mourning joy without sorrowing there is light without darknesse and life without death where they that are once brought in shall never be turned out to which happy and Heavenly place the Lord in his good time bring us all Amen The ready way to the Everlasting place which is before spoken of I shall by Gods assistance direct you unto Your way must be First to ask God forgivenesse for all the time you have mispent and every day and every hour to repent you of your wicked living in this sinfull world you must henceforth whilst you do live in this world Pray unto God to give you grace and the assistance of his Holy Spirit so that you may ever hereafter serve God obey his holy word and will in a better manner then you have don heretofore you must also deal your bread to the hungry cloath the naked suffer the harborlesse comfort the fatherlesse be good to the poor distressed widdows visit the sick and according to your ability do good to all men that are in want for he that stopeth his ears at the cries of the poor shall cry himselfe and not be heard Proverhs the 10. Moreover you must not think that when you have done those good things which are ere spoken of that you have done enough to bring your soul to heaven without any more to doe but you must believe in God the Father Son and Holy-Ghost and how that Christ came that was the only Son of God the father into this world on purpose to save the souls of all true repenting sinners and to be Tormented for us here in this world because we should not be Tormented in the world to come as it may appeare in all parts of the Scriptures which were written from the time of the worlds creation to the latter end of the holy Bible Book but most chiefly the 4 Evangelists have every one discribed the manner of his comming into the world the time of his life the day of his death and in what manner and for what cause he dyed whilst he lived on the earth he shewed wonders did miracles he made the blind to see the lame to go and raised the dead to life al which was done to make it known to all the world that he was the wonderful and powerfull son of God and able to doe whatsoever it pleased his Father to have done to put us in remembrance and believe that he is the Saviour and redeemer of al that trust in him further more for our sake he suffered hunger thirst cold imprisonment reproachfull words spightful deeds bitter stripes false accusations taunts and scornes Buffeting Whippings and Spittings on the face And at the last he was Crucified upon a bloody piece of Timber between 2 notorious malefactors being nailed fast on the Cross through hands and feet and now let all Christians not only look upon but also remember to think upon what Christ our Lord hath undergone to redeeme our souls from the slavery of the divel to bring us into the sounder belief consider what was brought to passe through the power of the Almighty after that the Villaines had so cruelly murdered Christ which was and is a King of Kings and Lord of Lords Revelations 19 10.
