Jf euer Lot Ieremie and the godlie men that are recorded in Ezekiel had iust cause to mourne pine awaie with great griefe and zeale in beholding the contempt and despising of Gods sacred lawe the most abhominable life of the people in their daies How much more may the godlie Ministers and all good people weepe and consume themselues away and send foorth euerie daie fountaines of teares to behold and continuallie to see this our age and time which should be a most happie time for knowledge faith and holinesse of life considering how long a season God hath lent vnto vs his holie word and powred his benefites vppon vs which are yet a most crooked and stiff-necked generation for the hearts of the people are not onely become hard and stonie but also their eares as the Prophet Ieremie saith are become vncircumcised that they cannot abide to heare Gods word yea it is a reproach vnto them and they haue no delight therein Iere. 6.10 also how sinne aboundeth J neede not to shew for this our land lieth in sinnes and is frosen in the dregges thereof Zephaniah 1.12 Euen so much that we iustifie Zodama and Gomora Ezeki 16. for iust and holie Cities for such are the sinnes of England and so vile that it maie rather be accounted a polluted Land and a seat of iniquitie for alack how deepelie is she sunken in the sinke of sinne and how abhominablie doth shee send foorth euerie day more more all kindes of Pride Whoredomes Incests Murthers Theftes Couetousnes Oppressions Vsuries Cursings Periuries Blaesphemies and such like in so much that we may saie with the holie good Prophet Hosea Hear the word of the Lord ye childrē of Israel yea rather ye children inhabitants of England for the Lord hath a controuersie with the inhabitants of the lande because there is no truth nor mercie nor knowledge of God in the lande By swearing and lying killing and stealing and whoring they breake out and bloud toucheth bloud Therefore shall the land mourne euerie one that dwelleth therein shall bee cut off with the beasts of the field and the foules of the Heauen and also the fishes of the sea shall be taken away yet let none rebuke nor reprooue other for thy people are as they that rebuke the Priests Hosea 4.1 2 3 4. and what is the fountaine and cause of these euils and rebellious transgressions suerly infidelitie and ignorance of Gods word as the good Apostle S. Paule affirmeth in these wordes This I say therefore and testifie in the Lord that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk in vanitie of their minde hauing their cogitation darkned and being strangers from the life of God through the ignorāce that is in thē because of the hardnesse of their heart which beeing past feeling haue giuen themselues vnto wantonnesse to worke all vncleannesse euen with greedinesse Eph. 4.17 18 19. I beseech you therefore deare brethren and good Christians by the mercies of God that ye giue vp your bodies a liuing sacrifice holy and acceptable to God which is your resonable seruing of God fashion not your selues like vnto this world but be yee changed by the renuing of your minde that ye may proue what is the good will of God acceptable and perfect Rom. 12.1 2. And this time of ignorance as the same Apostle testifieth God regardeth not but he admonisheth al men euerie where to repent Act. 17.30 Againe Awake thou that sleepest and stand vp frō the dead and Christ shall giue thee light wherefore be not vnwise but vnderstand what the will of the Lord is
