A14189	Peters fall Two sermons vpon the historie of Peters denying Christ. Wherin we may see the causes of mans falling from God, and the manner how, both of the wicked thorough incredulitie, and of the godly by infirmitie: and also the way that God hath set downe in his worde to rise againe. By Iohn Vdall, preacher of the word of God at Kingston vpon Temmes.	Udall, John, 1560?-1592.	1584 (1584)	STC 24503; ESTC S101285	38,462	103

he_o crow_v no_o more_o thou_o may_v assure_v thyself_o for_o sure_o it_o be_v thou_o be_v in_o the_o way_n of_o destruction_n a_o necessary_a meditation_n for_o all_o man_n the_o lord_n look_v back_o etc._n etc._n the_o second_o cause_n follow_v the_o cock_n have_v crowen_v and_o yet_o peter_n have_v not_o remember_v himself_o neither_o be_v he_o awake_v out_o of_o his_o sinful_a sleep_n until_o the_o lord_n turn_v back_o his_o countenance_n upon_o he_o but_o when_o once_o he_o look_v upon_o his_o face_n who_o knowledge_n he_o have_v deny_v then_o begin_v he_o to_o remember_v himself_o and_o consider_v that_o thing_n be_v amiss_o but_o be_v it_o the_o turn_v back_o of_o his_o face_n that_o wrought_v this_o in_o peter_n no_o for_o than_o it_o may_v have_v convert_v judas_n who_o he_o look_v upon_o when_o he_o betray_v he_o 47._o but_o it_o be_v his_o grace_n and_o holy_a spirit_n which_o do_v merciful_o fall_v down_o into_o his_o heart_n when_o the_o cock_n do_v crow_v whereby_o we_o see_v plain_o that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o outward_a ministry_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n only_o that_o bring_v salvation_n unto_o mankind_n for_o paul_n plant_v 6._o apollo_n water_v but_o god_n give_v the_o increase_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o so_o many_o hear_v the_o word_n and_o so_o few_o profit_n therein_o because_o it_o belong_v to_o the_o lord_n to_o show_v mercy_n to_o who_o he_o will_v show_v mercy_n 15._o and_o therefore_o when_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v to_o they_o of_o antioch_n by_o s._n paul_n 48._o it_o be_v say_v that_o so_o many_o as_o be_v ordain_v to_o salvation_n beléeve_v so_o that_o if_o thou_o hear_v or_o read_v god_n word_n word_n do_v desire_v that_o it_o may_v work_v to_o thy_o salvation_n pray_v earnest_o unto_o the_o lord_n that_o it_o will_v please_v he_o of_o his_o infinite_a mercy_n to_o look_v back_o upon_o thou_o with_o the_o eye_n of_o his_o grace_n and_o so_o frame_v thyself_o in_o a_o true_a faith_n and_o a_o single_a heart_n to_o apply_v it_o unto_o that_o end_n wherefore_o it_o be_v give_v thou_o thou_o shall_v sure_o feel_v in_o thy_o soul_n a_o especial_a operation_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n to_o thy_o great_a comfort_n thus_o much_o brief_o concern_v the_o first_o two_o cause_n of_o peter_n conversion_n where_o note_n by_o y_z e_z way_n that_o the_o two_o first_o cause_n of_o his_o fall_n be_v within_o himself_o but_o the_o first_o that_o work_n to_o his_o rise_n again_o be_v without_o himself_o to_o teach_v we_o that_o all_o our_o sin_n proceed_v of_o ourselves_o and_o come_v from_o ourselves_o but_o all_o goodness_n not_o of_o we_o but_o from_o the_o lord_n that_o his_o name_n only_o may_v be_v praise_v for_o all_o good_a thing_n and_o we_o ourselves_o blame_v for_o all_o evil_a peter_n remember_v etc._n etc._n now_o follow_v the_o cause_n within_o himself_o but_o mark_v this_o first_o the_o cock_n do_v crow_v no_o doubt_n of_o it_o more_o do_v hear_v he_o then_o peter_n but_o because_o he_o be_v ordain_v as_o a_o mean_n to_o call_v peter_n home_o therefore_o he_o only_o be_v guilty_a be_v prick_v in_o heart_n and_o none_o else_o move_v so_o god_n have_v ordain_v the_o preach_v of_o his_o word_n to_o be_v a_o instrument_n to_o put_v all_o man_n in_o mind_n of_o their_o fault_n and_o that_o they_o may_v amend_v and_o such_o be_v the_o force_n thereof_o that_o the_o word_n preach_v general_o do_v move_v every_o man_n conscience_n which_o be_v guilty_a of_o that_o crime_n which_o be_v reproove_v and_o therefore_o there_o be_v many_o wicked_a man_n of_o the_o world_n that_o do_v imagine_v the_o preacher_n to_o harp_n only_o upon_o they_o because_o they_o be_v guilty_a as_o if_o he_o speak_v against_o papistry_n every_o massmonger_n think_v he_o point_v at_o he_o if_o he_o inneigh_v against_o swearer_n usurer_n whoremaster_n or_o thief_n every_o swearer_n usurer_n whoremaster_n and_o thief_n think_v his_o own_o do_n to_o be_v touch_v and_o in_o deed_n though_o they_o turn_v it_o to_o a_o fault_n in_o the_o preacher_n this_o show_v unto_o we_o the_o wonderful_a virtue_n of_o god_n word_n that_o can_v speak_v so_o to_o every_o man_n heart_n and_o thought_n therefore_o when_o thou_o hear_v thy_o own_o fault_n rebuke_v &_o even_o that_o which_o thou_o think_v all_o the_o world_n have_v not_o know_v open_o reveal_v do_v not_o think_v that_o he_o speak_v it_o of_o choler_n or_o have_v learn_v it_o of_o thy_o trusty_a familiar_n but_o think_v rather_o that_o god_n spirit_n which_o search_v all_o man_n thought_n do_v speak_v unto_o thou_o that_o thou_o shall_v amend_v it_o for_o as_o peter_n be_v guilty_a alone_o be_v only_o prick_v in_o conscience_n and_o do_v repent_v so_o it_o be_v thy_o duty_n to_o consider_v thy_o own_o estate_n and_o repent_v thou_o of_o thy_o fault_n that_o god_n may_v be_v merciful_a unto_o thou_o peter_n remember_v etc._n etc._n the_o word_n preach_v and_o god_n grace_n work_v inward_o do_v bring_v peter_n to_o remembrance_n first_o that_o christ_n have_v say_v before_o the_o cock_n crow_n thou_o shall_v deny_v i_o thrice_o etc._n etc._n and_o second_o that_o he_o have_v so_o do_v in_o deed_n for_o they_o must_v be_v handle_v together_o let_v we_o then_o note_v this_o diligent_o before_o the_o crow_n of_o the_o cock_n and_o the_o look_v back_o of_o jesus_n there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n in_o his_o mind_n but_o they_o two_o come_v together_o do_v bring_v he_o into_o consideration_n of_o his_o estate_n adam_n and_o hevah_n when_o they_o have_v transgress_v the_o law_n of_o the_o lord_n make_v no_o care_n of_o it_o at_o the_o first_o but_o when_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o his_o spirit_n say_v 9_o where_o be_v thou_o he_o remember_v what_o god_n have_v say_v that_o he_o shall_v not_o eat_v of_o the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a and_o that_o he_o have_v eat_v of_o it_o king_n david_n when_o he_o have_v commit_v those_o heinous_a sin_n of_o murder_n and_o adultery_n sleep_v quiet_o therein_o until_o the_o prophet_n nathan_n come_v to_o rebuke_v he_o 9_o and_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n withal_o wrought_v in_o his_o heart_n than_o he_o remember_v his_o grievous_a sin_n and_o the_o law_n of_o the_o lord_n god_n to_o the_o contrary_n manasses_n the_o son_n of_o godly_a ezechiah_n 16._o think_v idolatry_n no_o sin_n and_o to_o make_v the_o street_n of_o jerusalem_n swymme_n with_o the_o blood_n of_o innocent_n no_o offence_n but_o when_o the_o trouble_n that_o he_o sustain_v in_o the_o time_n of_o his_o captivity_n which_o be_v in_o stead_n of_o the_o preach_n of_o god_n word_n do_v pintch_n he_o 33.12_o and_o the_o lord_n stretch_v forth_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o mercy_n to_o receyve_v he_o than_o he_o see_v the_o horriblenes_n of_o his_o sin_n 3.4_o the_o like_a be_v evident_a in_o s_n paul_n who_o before_o his_o conversion_n think_v he_o do_v god_n good_a service_n in_o seek_v the_o utter_a extinguish_n of_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n but_o when_o the_o light_n do_v show_v he_o the_o blindness_n of_o his_o mind_n and_o the_o voice_n of_o christ_n do_v ask_v he_o why_o he_o do_v so_o persecute_v he_o he_o be_v strike_v down_o in_o consideration_n of_o his_o offence_n to_o leave_v off_o to_o reckon_v any_o more_o example_n out_o of_o god_n word_n the_o same_o be_v most_o true_a in_o all_o mankind_n &_o even_o in_o ourselves_o for_o before_o we_o be_v call_v unto_o the_o truth_n in_o jesus_n christ_n we_o walk_v in_o the_o way_n of_o our_o own_o imagination_n we_o live_v without_o god_n 12._o &_o be_v stranger_n from_o the_o covenant_n of_o the_o promise_n of_o god._n but_o when_o it_o please_v he_o of_o his_o goodness_n to_o call_v we_o unto_o the_o knowledge_n of_o his_o grace_n by_o preach_v his_o word_n unto_o we_o and_o that_o he_o look_v back_o upon_o we_o with_o the_o eye_n of_o his_o mercy_n 1.13_o then_o we_o see_v plainelye_o what_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o righteousness_n that_o god_n have_v enjoin_v unto_o all_o the_o son_n of_o adam_n and_o compare_v the_o same_o with_o our_o deed_n we_o see_v how_o great_a be_v our_o debt_n that_o we_o have_v unpay_v how_o many_o be_v our_o sin_n that_o we_o have_v commit_v and_o how_o vain_a our_o former_a conversation_n have_v be_v whereas_o before_o this_o be_v reveal_v unto_o we_o we_o proceed_v secure_o in_o our_o own_o iniquity_n and_o as_o all_o worldling_n do_v think_v our_o own_o way_n to_o be_v right_a and_o honest_a wherefore_o if_o this_o be_v the_o way_n and_o first_o entrance_n into_o the_o school_n of_o
