may learn to kisse the sonne Psal 2. lest he be angrie and so they perish in his wrath like Sodome He came in the middle age of the world to shew that he was indifferent for the world to giue light and life vnto all that returne vnto him for God respecteth Act. 10. no persons but euerie man of what nation or countrey soeuer he be that feareth God and worketh righteousnesse is accepted of him and he will fulfill their ioyes through Christ yet not when we will but according to his owne good pleasure wheÌ„ he thinketh good Therefore stay Daniell thou shalt haue thy diner anon the Angell and Habacuc are about it Stay Helias anon 1. Kings 17. Exod. 14. the rauens will bring thee meate and thou shalt haue enough Anon Moses will deliuer Israell So saluation is alreadie prepared of God and hath bene long since with fulnesse knowledge and all excellent gifts and he will giue them to vs when he seeth good but we like whining children that will not stay till their milke be cold but would haue it though they be scalded with it so we would haue the knowledge of God and libertie before we know how to vse it We would know the high mysteries and deepe counsels of God before we know our selues we would haue the libertie of the Gospdll when we know no way how to vse it but in securitie But the Lord he will wisely giue vnto vs as it were our bellies full when he seeth it good and when heseeth vs ready for it who knoweth our hearts better then we ourselues A light to be reuealed to the Gentilos and the glorie of thy people Israell You haue heard Simeon shewing the cause why the Sonne was sent froÌ„ the Father why he became man which raigned before in Paradice What moued God to leaue his ioy and his blisse and suffer more then all the world could suffer together A great cause it is that would make a king leaue his kingdome and fal to beggerie A great and wonderfull cause it was that made Iehouah to come downe from heauen to suffer miserie vpon the earth Two causes Simeon sheweth why this Messias came from heauen The first that he might enlighten the Gentiles which sate in darknesse and the second that he might be the glorie of Israell which gloried in their sacrifices in their ceremonies and so had no glorie before he came but were like the Moone when the Sunne doth shine vpon it or like Rachel which despised Lea and became barren And they despised Gen. 19. the Gentils light like that sonne which was angrie because his lost brother came home Luke 15. againe or like those labourers which checked the Lord of the vineyard because he gaue vnto the other labourers more then he Mat. 20. gaue vnto them But the Gentiles are like Gen. 29. Lea who being despised became frutefull Simeon reioyced in Christ not onely for that he was the glorie of Israell but also for that he was the light of the Gentiles Shall the head be sorowfull because the hand is well nay rather the hand should be glad because the head is well and the head because the hand is well The father should be glad because his sonne is stronger then himselfe the mother should be glad because her daughter is wiser then her selfe the brother should be glad because his brother is richer then him selfe the mistresse should reioyce because her mayd is a better houswife then her selfe But we enuie our brethren and our neighbours because they are better then we and because God hath blessed them with temporall or spiritual things aboue vs if we see that they haue learning then we enuy them for their learning if he haue more gifts we enuie him for his giftes if he haue more knowledge we enuie him for his knowledge if he haue more zeale we enuie him for his zeale if he haue more riches we enuy him for his riches and how can we reioyce when euery bodies good is our euill and euerie bodies ioy is our sorow But fixe your eyes vpon Christ alone and he will fulfill your ioy if you looke not backe to Sodome like Lots wife If you loue ioy and gladnesse Gen. 19. Christ is ioy gladnesse if thou loue comfort why Christ is the comforter of all that beare his crosse if thou loue life Christ is eternall life if thou loue peace Christ is peace if thou loue riches Christ is full of heauenly riches and full of liberalitie to bestow them vpon all such as loue God so Christ is all in all vnto the godly they haue more ioy in Christ alwayes and in all things then the richest and glorious and sumptuous Prince in the world then SalomoÌ„ him selfe had in worldly riches honors pleasures ease or felicitie For the wicked which put their trust in riches make theÌ„ gods of gold and money ease and pleasures though they do all that they can to fulfil their lusts and take neuer so much pleasures and be neuer so merrie yet they can haue no true ioy nor no peace of conscience for all the peace the mirth sport they haue is but deceipt all false and indurable like the grasse greene in the morning and withered ere night But when the Lord doth knocke at their hearts and strike them with a feeling of their horrible transgressions as no doubt he wil then they are all in a maze and they can haue no Isa 48. and 58. ioy no peace no rest but they may say in laughter my soule is sorowfull in ease my soule hath trouble in mirth mone in riches pouertie in glorie shame in life my soule is euen dead in plentie my soule wanteth all things wherein it should reioyce it is destitute of all comfort and possessed with all slauish feares like Cain who being Lord of Gen. 4. all the earth yet had no ioy in it when God had once forsaken him Likewise Saul wheÌ„ 1. Sam. 16. God had forsaken him he had no ioy of all his kingdome nor of all his riches and then who had more ioy Saule the king or Dauid the subiect So then we see that perfect ioy can be had in nothing but in God and in Iesus Christ Wherefore as by the streame you may be led to the fountaine euen so let the ioy and peace of this life serue to leaâ—e vs to God which is perfect ioy and peace there rest like the wise men which were guided by the starre to come to the true sonne of grace Iesus Christ when he was borne and if we rest not in him when we haue found him there is no rest for vs but like the restlesse doue which fluttereth about findeth no rest any way til she returned to the Ark but we seeme as though we sought him and found him when as we do but play the hypocrite Salomon saith that the wayes of a whore are prosperitie

he said to Christ if you will fall downe and worship me I will giue Luke 4. 7. you all things you would haue if you will leaue the societie the exercises the professioÌ„ and the companie of the children of God and of the seruice of God and serue me and worship me in preferring your couetousnesse your pride your enuie your lust before the seruice of God then you shall grow rich and you shall not be so scrupulous to sweare for your gaine sometime or to lye for your pleasure and to cosin for riches and you shall haue good lucke and shall haue euery thing at your hearts desire But if we do his will we shall speede as Ionah did we shall haue the wrath and vengeance of God vpoÌ„ our heads for he hath nothing to giue vs although he makes vs beleeue we shall haue great kingdomes Yes we shall haue hell for our reward which wil make al their hearts to ake which receaue it other reward he hath none So the deuill is alwayes a very seruiceable and pleasant deuill to such as fly from God he can finde occasioÌ„s at all times and meanes and instrumeÌ„ts fit for that purpose If thou wilt fly from God the deuill will lend you both spurres and a horse yea a post horse that will carrie you swiftlie lustilie away vnto all vanitie and vngodlie lusts But see what Ionah got by his iourney notwithstanding all the furtherances that Sathan could worke for him he lost his money lost his ioy lost his credit and almost lost his life too Thus we see in Ionah what it profiteth a man to flye froÌ„ God in obeying and practising the euill motions and teÌ„ptations of Sathan in steed of the knowen will of God for the very dumbe creatures were bent against him for his disobedience the wind blowes as though it would ouer turne all the waters roare as though they will drowne all the ship reeles and tumbles as though she were wearie of all the mariners crie and cast out their wares apace as though they would loose all And yet the wind could not ouerthrow him nor the waters drowne him nor the whale eat him and thus Ionah fled from God but not God from Ionah But the Lord sent out a great wind into the sea and there was a great tempest so that the ship was like to be broken First God spake gentlie to him Arise Ionah go to Niniuie then he would not go but seeing wordes would not serue the Lord would take another way and try whether that could make him obedient to his voice So the Lord caused a mightie tempest to arise in the sea which set them all in a maze and made them examine both whence the teÌ„pest came also wherefore or for whose sake it troubled them so sore that Ionah might see at the least if he would see it that the vegeaÌ„ce of God doth alwayes accoÌ„pany the stubburne and disobedient whither soeuer they go and for the accoÌ„plishment therof that all the creatures of God are bent against them to molest trouble and crosse them in their euill wayes God sent a great wind He that made the windes commaunded Psal 141. 18 Isa 13. them and they obey his voyce the wind the waters obey him but man will not obey him He saith not that a wind arose but saith The Lord sent a great wind then it was not by chance nor yet by witchcraft for the mariners notwithstanding they were infidels were not so grosse as to ascribe it vnto anie such cause but rather thought it to be sent from some reuenging power being prouoked to indignation by some particular person among them that had committed some hainous fact else why did they cast lots to know him and find him out that had sinned and whose sinne did procure the tempest to be sent Though this tempest had almost drowned Ionah yet he saith the Lord sent it so the Lord sendeth wind to bring ships to land in safetie and the same Lord sendeth tempests to drown breake and sincke other ships Therefore Iob sayd when he was bereft of all his substance at once and left as poore as might be that the Lord had taken them from him which also gaue all to him adding also a thaÌ„ksgiuing Iob. 1. 21. euen for the persecuting haÌ„d of God which did so molest him If some had so much losse by tempest as Iob and such danger as Ionah they would surely say with Iob Blessed be the name of the Lord for it Now the wind blowes the water tosses the whale swims all to meet Ionah which flies from God to see if they can turne his hart which sleeps in disobedience The ship goes roundly for a time the Prophet is sleeping the mariners are sporting their sailes flaunting the waters calming the windes guiding so merily sinne goes on before the tempest comes The wind blowes not yet therfore go on yet a litle yet a little more but yet the tempest rushes vpoÌ„ them before they be ware of it and tumbles them vp and downe suddenly all is like to be vndone Now Ionah is in more danger then the Niniuites And now Ã³ that he had stayed at home and saued his money saued his credit saued his life from the danger of the furious vnmerciful streame Here we may see what paines a sinner takes all to hurt him selfe He came to the hauen and payd the fare and entred the ship and hoist vp sailes and went on forward and all to flie from God and yet he fled not from him but to him Therfore Dauid saith if I take the morning Psal 139. 7. 8. 9. wings and flie aloft lo thou art there if I go into the neathermost depth thy hand will find me out therefore whither shall I flie from thee so that when we thinke that we flie from God in running out of one place into another we do but run from one hand to the other for there is no place where Gods hand is not and whither soeuer a rebellious sinner doth run the hand of God wil meet with him to crosse him and hinder his good successe although he prophecieth neuer so much good vnto him selfe in his iourney The winds could not further Ionah the waters could not beare him his sleep could not saue him the ship could not hold him the mariners could not helpe him the whale would not spare him but he poore man must be cast out lest all through him be cast away The ship that was full of wares of great value was readie to sinke when Ionah entred into it He trusted to the winds and the winds could not further him he trusted to the waters and the waters could not beare him he trusted to the ship the ship could not hold him he trusted to the mariners the mariners could not help him What had he offended the winds or the waters or what had he offended the ship that bare him such
