man which is evill cannot produce justice in God which is holy and good and an attribute of God before sinne ever was as its effect But Gods holy and just will is the square of his actions Yet sin in man truely his owne worke is cause of damnation in himselfe a bad effect of a bad cause So treason is the cause of the traitors condemnation and death but the law of the land being the rule of justice is the cause that the Iudge wils the condemnation and puts to death the Traitor III. The worke of any of Gods free Graces and favours not merited by any man proceedeth not de facto so farre with some men as with others by default of the men themselves The benefit of his raine sun extends to all so also many other outward gifts Christ wrought one miracle among the Gadarens but at that time preached not the word in their Cities for they would not Christ did many great works in Corazin Bethsaida and Capernaum preached there when as they repent not he pronounces a woe against them God caused the word to be preached to Demas gave him societie with the Apostles but left him to the corruption of his heart imbracing this present world God caused the word to bee preached to Iulian according to which he walked for a time and incouraged Christians but at length God left him to the cruelty of his owne heart to persecute Christianity God made Iudas an Apostle he according to his office walked a while and preached the Gospell but at length God left him to the covetousnesse of his heart to betray the Lord of life and to desperation IV. They which be adjudged to condēnation discerne and make themselves differ from the rest by being disobedient and rebellious to the order and course appointed by God for mans salvation God made Paul differ from Demas and other wicked men by the gracious worke of his holy Spirit on him D●mas made himselfe to differ from Paul and other godly men by yeelding to his owne corruption in following this present world V. That they which knew their masters or Gods will and prepared not themselves for their Masters comming neither did according to his will shall be beaten with many stripes whereas he that knew his Masters will and did it not is beaten with few for unto whomsoever much is given of him much shall bee required so it is with Corazin Bethsaida Capernaum God for Christ Iesus sake guide us by his grace and good Spirit that we may doe his will and prepare for his comming and of his infinite mercie pardon what here hath beene weakly delivered about these great mysteries and more and more illuminate our understandings in the knowledge of the same and so powerfully work upon us that as on his part there is not so on our part there may be no default that we may persevere his servants here hereafter raigne with him in the Kingdome of glory for the merits of Iesus Christ our Lord.

promised to be with his ordinance and on his part will not faile IIII. It is of Gods infinite mercy that the fathers and Iewes of old that any nation now have Gods word for their guide and instruction in any kind whatsoever for their salvation not any thing in themselves is a cause thereof V. All good in man whatsoever whether naturall morall or divine c. in understanding will and affections is Gods free gift either the remainder of what was given man in the creation or Gods gracious work since CHAP. III. What course and order God hath prescribed on mans part Conclusions thereupon GOD as on his owne part takes a course so on mans part hath appointed what course they should take for the making the decrees above effectuall Namely they ought before the Law was written to enquire of the former age and prepare themselves to learne of their fathers The Patriarkes or fathers of families being both kings and preists were to be honoured and obeyed of their families and did rule over their brethren and likewise ought to teach their children and houshold their duties as God said hee knew Abraham would doe his to keepe the way of the Lord and to doe righteous judgment Also to teach them Gods worship which must be after Gods owne institution else Abels offering had beene will-worship Also to performe religious offices for them as calling upon God and sacrificing So Noah sacrificed for himselfe and them that came out of the Ark with him Abraham often built altars sacrificed Melchisedek was both king and priest Iob sacrificed for his sonnes every day And after the Law was written the chiefe Rulers Kings and others of what title soever ought to study the Law themselves and so to governe the people that they may live according as God bids us pray a quiet and peaceable life in all godlinesse and honestie Also these chiefe rulers when in regard of the increase of their people they were not able to beare the burden of them should chuse Elders out of the people men of courage fearing God men dealing truly hating covetousnesse who set over thousands hundreds fifties tens should judge the lesse and bring the greater matters to the chiefe Ruler Also afterthat GOD had taken to him the Preists and Levits in stead of the first borne The Kings or chief Rulers Gods vice-gerents should have these Preists and Levits their Spokesmen to the people for their instruction as GOD made Aaron the Preist to Moses the King as also to enquire of God and to offer the offerings and sacrifices of all both rulers and people Also the Embassadors and Merchants in their navigation to forraine people should call them to Gods holy mountaine and worship as Moses said of Zebulon and Ishachar and warriours fearing GOD should if they conquered nations strive to bring them to GOD as the Israelites did divers Chananites and David some people of divers nations Or if they were conquered should advise their conquerours for their eternall good and teach them as the Iewes the Chaldeans that the gods who made not heaven and earth shall perish from the earth and from under these heavens and as afterward in the times of the Persians draw many to their religion And after that Christ being incarnate and offering himselfe for man having ended the Leviticall preisthood became both King and preist for ever after the order of Melchisedek hee the Church now being under the Romane Infidell and tyrannous Emperours hee I say set up a Kingdome not of this world though hee was de jure King of the Jewes but a spirituall kingdome and taught the people as never man did And further appointed the Apostles to goe and teach all nations and baptise them and performe other religious offices who also did ordaine Bishops and Elders to rule and teach in their severall Cities which were to be qualified as the Overseers and Elders chosen by Moses above Besides Christ the great Prophet which should come into the world foretold that Kings at length should bring their glory that is the multitudes of their people for the multitude of people is the glory of a King to the building of the new Jerusalem the Christian Church and so become nursing Fathers to the same which now hath begunne to have the event when Kings whose ancestors had giuen their power to the Whore of Babylon hate her and make her desolate and endevour a reformation according to Gods word Furthermore our Embassadors Merchants and Warriers by our navigation abroad upon all occasions offered therein following their example above ought as they pray first for Christs kingdome and then for bread and the necessaries of this life so to strive in the first place and principally for the advancement of Christs kingdome and in the next place for matters usefull for their countrie This God appoints on the rulers and their substitutes parts to be done God further appoints on the peoples part what order and course they should take The summe of all in briefe is To feare God and keep his commandements To read heare meditate on Gods word to repent to believe to use Gods holy ordinances and sacraments reverently c. To honour the King and be subject and submit themselves to every ordinance of man for the Lords sake if both to Heathen Kings as supreme as also to under-governours as sent by them then much more to Christian Princes subordinate rulers under them who rule according to Gods word And to shut up all in one word to love their neighbours as themselves This course and order God hath prescribed to be used on mans part From whence it may bee inferred I. That God not only in taking a course on his owne part but also in shewing man a course and order to be taken on his part for the salvation of all men shewes that God thus farre wils the salvation of all II. That Rulers both supreme and subordinate in their several places must follow the course and order prescribed appointed by God as meanes by which God hath ordered to conferre salvation on themselves others being such a meanes for the salvation of their soules as the mariners abiding in the ship and doing their office there was for the saving of theirs and their passengers bodies whom God had promised Paul to preserve III. Chief Rulers and others studying Gods word being thereby directed in the ordering Gods people managing their most weightie affaires and substituting under them officers of all sorts men fearing God and of courage c. Mainly striving to bring their owne people to God and by all good meanes to plant the feare of God in nations yet living in darknesse are the true nursing fathers of the Church and bring their glory to the New-Ierusalem and are saved IIII. That people must perswade themselves
