A19590	A sermon preached in London before the right honorable the Lord Lavvarre, Lord Gouernour and Captaine Generall of Virginea, and others of his Maiesties Counsell for that kingdome, and the rest of the aduenturers in that plantation At the said Lord Generall his leaue taking of England his natiue countrey, and departure for Virginea, Febr. 21. 1609. By W. Crashaw Bachelar of Diuinitie, and preacher at the Temple. Wherein both the lawfulnesse of that action is maintained, and the necessity thereof is also demonstrated, not so much out of the grounds of policie, as of humanity, equity, and Christianity. Taken from his mouth, and published by direction.	Crashaw, William, 1572-1626.; L. D., fl. 1610.	1610 (1610)	STC 6029; ESTC S109071	50,684	92

peter_n never_o forget_v all_o his_o life_n long_o how_o christ_n look_v at_o he_o for_o that_o be_v the_o bless_a 61._o hour_n of_o his_o conversion_n so_o the_o hour_n and_o time_n of_o our_o

for_o his_o sin_n and_o be_v ashamed_a that_o thou_o have_v have_v christ_n look_v so_o many_o hundred_o time_n upon_o thou_o and_o all_o in_o vain_a in_o the_o next_o place_n whereas_o christ_n bid_v

then_o we_o may_v here_o learn_v the_o true_a cause_n why_o man_n be_v so_o negligent_a in_o performance_n of_o duty_n to_o other_o even_o because_o themselves_o be_v unsanctified_a man_n for_o true_a

the_o cause_n be_v he_o be_v a_o carnal_a man_n and_o unsanctified_a see_v thou_o a_o minister_n that_o receive_v the_o fleece_n but_o feed_v not_o the_o flock_n the_o cause_n be_v he_o be_v a_o

the_o cause_n be_v they_o be_v unsanctified_a for_o if_o a_o man_n be_v convert_v himself_o his_o next_o care_n will_v be_v to_o do_v all_o good_a he_o can_v to_o other_o more_o particular_o we_o

all_o be_v because_o they_o may_v not_o have_v present_a profit_n if_o other_o voyage_n be_v set_v afoot_o wherein_o be_v certain_a and_o present_a profit_n they_o run_v and_o make_v mean_n to_o get_v

but_o tell_v they_o of_o plant_v a_o church_n of_o convert_n 10000_o soul_n to_o god_n they_o be_v senseless_a as_o stone_n they_o stir_v no_o more_o than_o if_o man_n speak_v of_o toy_n and_o

learn_v a_o doctrine_n special_o pertinent_a to_o the_o present_a occasion_n and_o the_o business_n now_o in_o hand_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v not_o voluntary_a or_o left_a indifferent_a to_o a_o man_n choice_n but_o plain_o a_o necessary_a duty_n for_o every_o christian_n to_o labour_v the_o conversion_n and_o confirmation_n of_o other_o that_o be_v not_o and_o this_o necessity_n arise_v not_o only_o from_o the_o excellent_a nature_n of_o religion_n which_o desire_v ever_o to_o propagate_v diffusiwm_fw-la and_o diffuse_v itself_o as_o we_o hear_v before_o but_o especial_o from_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n commandment_n which_o be_v unrestrained_a do_v absolute_o bind_v all_o christian_n to_o obedience_n but_o here_o the_o commandment_n be_v general_a and_o unlimited_a to_o every_o one_o that_o be_v convert_v to_o confirm_v his_o brethren_n therefore_o it_o lie_v upon_o all_o man_n by_o a_o unavoidable_a necessity_n to_o perform_v it_o it_o be_v no_o way_n in_o the_o power_n of_o man_n to_o dispense_v with_o the_o general_a commandment_n of_o christ._n out_o of_o which_o ground_n appear_v evideut_o not_o only_o the_o lawfulness_n but_o even_o the_o excellency_n and_o virginea_fw-la goodness_n and_o indeed_o the_o plain_a necessity_n as_o the_o case_n now_o stand_v of_o this_o present_a action_n the_o principal_a end_n thereof_o be_v the_o plantation_n of_o a_o church_n of_o english_a christian_n there_o and_o consequent_o the_o conversion_n of_o the_o heathen_a from_o the_o devil_n to_o god_n which_o ground_n be_v so_o lay_v it_o than_o follow_v that_o either_o we_o be_v not_o convert_v or_o they_o be_v not_o our_o brethren_n or_o else_o that_o we_o be_v convert_v must_v labour_v their_o conversion_n but_o we_o by_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n be_v convert_v late_o from_o popery_n and_o former_o from_o paganism_n nor_o can_v it_o be_v deny_v that_o they_o in_o this_o case_n be_v our_o brethren_n for_o the_o same_o god_n make_v they_o as_o well_o as_o we_o of_o as_o good_a matter_n as_o he_o make_v we_o give_v they_o as_o perfect_v and_o good_a soul_n and_o body_n as_o to_o we_o and_o the_o same_o messiah_n &_o saviour_n be_v send_v to_o they_o as_o to_o we_o for_o if_o a_o virginian_a have_v our_o language_n have_v learn_v our_o religion_n profess_v our_o f●ith_n crave_v baptism_n and_o challenge_v salvation_n by_o christ_n can_v either_o man_n deny_v he_o baptism_n or_o will_v god_n deny_v he_o salvation_n sure_o god_n will_v not_o the_o one_o and_o man_n may_v not_o the_o other_o so_o than_o they_o be_v our_o brethren_n want_v not_o title_n to_o christ_n but_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n oh_o thrice_o happy_a than_o be_v they_o that_o shall_v carry_v the_o knowledge_n to_o they_o and_o we_o by_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n be_v the_o man_n to_o who_o god_n have_v offer_v the_o

state_n of_o grace_n therefore_o to_o he_o this_o doctrine_n pertain_v not_o and_o for_o he_o that_o be_v sanctify_v and_o in_o god_n favour_n this_o resolution_n can_v befall_v he_o which_o appear_v most_o evident_a both_o in_o reason_n and_o religion_n in_o reason_n we_o know_v a_o graceless_a child_n will_v neither_o be_v fear_v from_o evil_a by_o the_o anger_n nor_o win_v to_o his_o duty_n by_o the_o love_n of_o his_o father_n but_o contrary_a be_v it_o with_o the_o good_a and_o gracious_a child_n i_o mean_v if_o he_o have_v no_o more_o but_o the_o grace_n of_o a_o civil_a nature_n and_o good_a education_n if_o his_o father_n so_o love_v he_o that_o though_o he_o often_o offend_v he_o yet_o he_o will_v not_o disinherit_v he_o will_v he_o therefore_o be_v embolden_v to_o offend_v he_o the_o more_o careless_o nay_o he_o will_v say_v to_o himself_o have_v i_o so_o good_a a_o father_n as_o will_v not_o deal_v with_o i_o according_a to_o my_o deserve_n but_o so_o oft_o and_o so_o

true_a in_o religion_n for_o when_o a_o man_n be_v convert_v he_o be_v cast_v in_o a_o new_a mould_n flesh_n and_o blood_n no_o long_o bear_v rule_n in_o he_o and_o he_o bid_v battle_n and_o stand_v in_o opposition_n and_o defiance_n with_o all_o such_o carnal_a resolution_n as_o this_o be_v i_o say_v not_o but_o such_o thought_n may_v come_v into_o his_o mind_n and_o he_o may_v be_v tempt_v to_o such_o cogitation_n but_o that_o he_o shall_v entertain_v such_o resolution_n it_o be_v impossible_a believe_v not_o i_o herein_o but_o let_v god_n himself_o be_v judge_n to_o which_o end_n read_v and_o mark_v well_o a_o notable_a place_n i._o joh._n 3._o 3_o we_o shall_v be_v like_a unto_o he_o and_o shall_v see_v he_o even_o as_o he_o be_v and_o every_o man_n that_o have_v this_o hope_n in_o he_o do_v he_o therefore_o sin_v the_o more_o or_o take_v more_o scope_n to_o himself_o no_o but_o contrariwise_o purge_v himself_o even_o as_o christ_n be_v pure_a he_o therefore_o that_o sin_v the_o rather_o it_o be_v certain_a he_o have_v not_o this_o hope_n in_o he_o and_o he_o that_o have_v this_o hope_n in_o he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o that_o that_o he_o endeavour_v and_o strive_v every_o day_n how_o he_o may_v overcome_v his_o sin_n and_o walk_v more_o worthy_a of_o so_o love_a and_o merciful_a a_o father_n so_o then_o the_o true_a use_n of_o this_o doctrine_n be_v that_o it_o serve_v to_o be_v a_o excellent_a incitement_n to_o stir_v up_o and_o provoke_v a_o man_n unto_o holiness_n unless_o he_o purpose_v to_o proclaim_v to_o the_o world_n that_o he_o have_v no_o hope_n in_o he_o and_o that_o he_o be_v not_o in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n in_o the_o three_o place_n we_o may_v here_o learn_v what_o be_v 3._o the_o true_a cause_n of_o a_o christian_n man_v stand_v in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n namely_o not_o the_o excellency_n of_o our_o strength_n nor_o the_o perfection_n of_o our_o faith_n or_o of_o any_o thing_n in_o we_o but_o the_o true_a cause_n be_v out_o of_o we_o even_o in_o god_n it_o be_v the_o stableness_n of_o his_o purpose_n the_o immutability_n of_o his_o election_n the_o truth_n of_o his_o covenant_n the_o infallibility_n of_o his_o word_n and_o the_o certainty_n of_o his_o love_n wheresoever_o he_o bestow_v it_o and_o the_o excellency_n and_o all_o sufficiency_n of_o christ_n merit_n in_o who_o we_o be_v love_v and_o elect_v therefore_o say_v the_o 29._o apostle_n the_o gift_n and_o calling_n of_o god_n be_v without_o repentance_n and_o who_o he_o love_v he_o love_v unto_o the_o end_n 1._o and_o the_o prophet_n say_v of_o god_n i_o will_v put_v my_o fear_n into_o their_o heart_n and_o they_o shall_v not_o mark_n he_o say_v not_o they_o can_v or_o will_v not_o but_o they_o shall_v not_o depart_v from_o 40._o i_o so_o here_o christ_n tell_v peter_n sathan_n desire_v to_o sist_z they_z as_o wheat_n and_o such_o a_o sister_n be_v he_o as_o who_o can_v stand_v by_o his_o own_o strength_n but_o i_o who_o so_o love_v thou_o as_o i_o die_v to_o save_v thou_o have_v also_o pray_v for_o thou_o that_o thy_o faith_n shall_v not_o sail_v so_o then_o have_v it_o not_o be_v for_o the_o intercession_n of_o christ_n peter_n have_v fain_o and_o fail_v in_o that_o temptation_n this_o truth_n may_v fit_o be_v illustrate_v by_o this_o comparison_n a_o strong_a man_n visit_v his_o sick_a friend_n and_o will_n he_o to_o walk_v the_o sick_a man_n will_v but_o can_v the_o strong_a man_n lift_v he_o up_o he_o walk_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o strong_a man_n each_o have_a hold_n of_o other_o by_o and_o by_o the_o sick_a man_n faint_v and_o let_v his_o hold_n go_v but_o the_o strong_a man_n hold_v fast_o and_o keep_v he_o from_o fall_v and_o so_o he_o stand_v not_o by_o his_o own_o but_o the_o strong_a man_n strength_n so_o be_v it_o in_o this_o case_n a_o christian_n convert_v have_v hold_v of_o god_n by_o his_o faith_n and_o love_n god_n have_v hold_v of_o he_o by_o his_o eternal_a election_n and_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o by_o the_o love_n he_o bear_v he_o in_o christ_n now_o we_o walk_v with_o god_n in_o the_o course_n of_o our_o obedience_n but_o if_o temptation_n come_v we_o shrink_v and_o fall_v away_o our_o faith_n and_o love_n like_o a_o sick_a man_n strength_n be_v soon_o spend_v but_o then_o though_o we_o let_v go_v the_o hold_v we_o have_v of_o god_n god_n will_v never_o let_v go_v the_o hold_v he_o have_v of_o we_o but_o in_o that_o love_n he_o bear_v we_o he_o still_o uphold_v we_o and_o so_o we_o stand_v not_o by_o our_o own_o strength_n but_o by_o the_o grace_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n who_o like_o the_o strong_a man_n hold_v we_o so_o as_o we_o shall_v not_o depart_v from_o he_o then_o for_o the_o use_n of_o this_o doctrine_n we_o may_v here_o learn_v first_o that_o the_o romish_a synagogue_n in_o deny_v this_o and_o affirm_v that_o a_o man_n may_v fall_v utter_o from_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n do_v no_o wrong_n at_o all_o to_o we_o but_o the_o wrong_n be_v to_o god_n himself_o the_o certainty_n of_o who_o covenant_n and_o truth_n of_o who_o purpose_n be_v hereby_o call_v into_o question_n as_o though_o god_n shall_v choose_v a_o man_n he_o will_v forsake_v and_o love_v he_o to_o day_n who_o he_o will_v hate_v the_o next_o whereas_o contrariwise_o as_o he_o love_v we_o when_o we_o love_v not_o he_o so_o he_o will_v keep_v fast_o hold_v on_o we_o when_o we_o in_o our_o weakness_n will_v let_v go_v the_o hold_v we_o have_v of_o he_o and_o for_o ourselves_o let_v this_o teach_v we_o to_o ascribe_v the_o cause_n where_o it_o be_v due_a even_o to_o the_o

cry_v to_o god_n with_o the_o prophet_n not_o unto_o we_o o_o lord_n not_o unto_o we_o but_o to_o thy_o name_n give_v the_o praise_n and_o why_o 1._o to_o he_o for_o thy_o love_a mercic_n and_o for_o
