THE Christian Temper OR The Quiet State of Mind that God's Servants Labour for Set forth in a Sermon at the Funeral of Mrs. Ursula Collins By D. B. Ah my dear angry Lord Since thou dost Love yet Strike Cast down but Help afford Sure I will do the Like I will Complain and Praise Bewail but yet Approve And all my sour-sweet days I will Lament and Love. Herbert Tho' I am quite forgot Let me not Love thee if I Love thee not Idem LONDON Printed for Tho. Parkhurst at the Bible and Three Crowns at the lower end of Cheapside and Robert Gibbs at the Golden Ball in Chancery-Lane 1688. TO Mr. Joseph Collins SIR I Have complyed with your Desire and your Neighbours as far and as soon as I have been able You have the Sermon desired for substance Tho' not in every particular as it was delivered A difference I think ought to be between Preaching and Writing Or if not my Memory served me not to give it you otherwise You better know my Employments than to accuse me of slowness I wish I were as free from the blame of too much Haste with it Such as it is you will accept it I know at my hand 'T is followed with my Prayer that it may not be Useless to Your self and to others as Craving for it The Print of Sermons in the Heart and Life is that which must make them Useful or Harmless it self It s Argument is of the most seasonable for us all And more especially for You. So heavenly a Yoke-fellow cannot be quietly parted with without a need of Faith's being strengthned by some such word Your own feelings I presume do so certify you better than any Lines of mine can do O Sir industriously Imitate that Piety which you justly Praise And take into your Heart the Truths you Longed to have in your eye So shall it not repent you of asking nor me of granting them unto you I commend you to divine grace and tuition as Yours in much Love unfeigned D. Burgess To my Friends of troubled Spirits in the Countrey YOU are Many Altho' it be every one's word I am Alone and I am Like no body My Ministrations unto you by Speech are at an end That I served you no better when I was with you is a sorrow that I shall go in unto my Grave Notwithstanding all your good Opinions Thanks c. But I am not able by so frequent Letters as you desire to Gratifie you and Relieve my self My Hands are full my Eyes are weak and my actuative Graces be not proportionately Strong Proportionately to my Work in my present Place I mean. For this cause I would that this Sermon may pass for an Epistle unto each of you And that every one of you may read it as supposing it written peculiarly for himself As also the other small Scripts wherewith I have cared to have it joined Ministerial services are not effectual or the contrary according unto Ministers intentions But if they were you would fare as well as any in the use of mine For tho' I Love my present Congregation as my own Soul I do unfeignedly Love your selves as them More I cannot and less I do not I do my self suspect it and by others I believe it will be determined that that affection of mine hath out-run my Judgment in treating you thus in this corner But I have bid my self follow his ironical counsel who lately said to me Go on with thy useful Indiscretions Bishop Hall's words are a wind that I think to have blown me good Divine goodness saith he Loves the Strength and passes over the Infirmities of good Affections It pardons the Errors of our Fervency rather than the Indifferencies of our Lukewarmness If by any innocent means I may be Useful unto others be the Praise of being Discreet Indeed I have commended in this Sermon three Books which may make needless this Sermon it self And any Additament I mean Mr. Burroughs of Content Mr. Richard Alleine of Heart-work and Dr. Bates of Resignation Works that praise their great Authors enrich their serious Readers shame and condemn their Neglecters But I so well know the Gust and Appetite and Digestion of your Spirits that I shall set before you the following Memorandums And not retract my request of your conning my plain Sermon Against the Invasions of your Unquietness against it's Abode in you and it's Prevalence over you remember ye M. 1. He must turn his Eye inward that would judge right of any thing outward Self-ignorance is the great hindrance of Self-denial The want of Self-denial is the great cause of all Contending with God and Distracting our selves Could I but deny my Self my own Wisdom and my own Will I should never know a Restless hour more To do this my way is to be looking often into my self To sit and consider What am I I was first Nothing Then Dust Then a Body Then a Body and Soul and that Holy and Happy Then a Body and Soul Corrupted and Cursed Then Sanctified thro' my Redeemer's Blood and by his Spirit Imperfectly Sanctified Of my self I never was am or can be but Nothing or Worse Evil the worst I do deserve Good the least I cannot deserve c. Now am I such a Thing Can I deserve nothing Why then I will quietly bear any thing For I see I am a thing that wrong cannot be done to by God. The truth is till we conclude God cannot wrong us we shall surmise in every trouble of ours that He doth wrong us And till we well Understand our selves we shall never believe but that we are things to which God owes somewhat And must do us a great deal of wrong if He make not good payment too M. 2. He that would be carryed without falling must bridle his Horse before he Mounts In all our ways we are carried by our Thoughts They are the Horses whereon we travel As they go Orderly or Disorderly so we ride prosperously in Grace and Peace or fall shamefully from both But so it is with them that restrain'd and bridled by the Word of God they go orderly and well If they are let to have their heads and have not the governing bridle put on them they are sure to go as ill No Sin or Grace no Sorrow or Comfort stirs but in and by these Thoughts Now if before we ascended to make judgment of any Event befalling us we took the course aforesaid we should lose a thousand Plagues by the year in our Spirits and find as many Comforts by it Sinful and sorrowful Ways can never be left till like Thoughts be left Isa 55.7 Ungoverned topping Thoughts undo Mankind 1 King. 18.28 Why halt you 'twixt two domineering Thoughts so the Hebrew Unless my 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 unruly high and head-strong Thoughts be cast down by Gods Word as 2 Cor. 10.5 I shall consume my self with vexing at his work in the World. Thoughts do rend me when
