The first sermon sheweth the manner of Dauids thanksgining, and containeth many comfortable points necessarie for afflicted consciences. The second sermon setteth forth the matter it selfe, for Dauid giueth thanks and that is, The arraignement of the man of earth ...

thou camest and that is to the earth For out of the Dust wert thou taken and to the dust shalt thou returne againe And from thence to the place of execution in hell and there shalt thou hang in torments intollerable and perpetuall prepared for the Deuill and his Angels where shall be weeping and wailing aud gnashing of teeth for euer Thou shalt haue blacke fame for thy herault and euerlasting shame for thy hearse feare and terrour shall be dealt for thy doale and the curses of the poore shall follow thee to thy graue And this is briefely the substance of the sentence of the reprobate man of earth which is yet but a shadow of that which it is indeed for indeed it will be more grieuous and terrible when it commeth then is possible for all the tongues of men and Angels to expresse Now a little of the execution of this sentence In earthly iudgements execution doth not alwaies presently follow the sentence of the iudge for some are repriued vpon further consideration some are after a while committed to the gallies and perpetuall slauerie some are sodenly hanged vp not knowing of the time when nor the place where vntill the very instant And some haue knowledge both of the time and place before hand that they may be prepared for death So is it also in this heauenly iudgement Some are repriued and liue long yet still in the prison of sinne and slauerie of the Deuill which is to encrease their torment some are sodenly taken and speedily destroyed without recouerie being brought by the righteous hand of God into euil in the middest of the CoÌ„gregation as apeareth in Pro. 6. 15. Some are longer in languishing paines torments then some euen in this world for one and the same fault There be three causes for which the Lord doth defer the ful executioÌ„ of iudgement vpon the wicked the first is to keepe theÌ„ in continuall miserie for all good things turne to their euill the second is to plague them with their owne sinne for there cannot be a greater mischiefe then to be a wicked man and to liue long in wickednes for when he hath serued the deuill the deuill shall pay him his wages and that sinne wherunto he hath beene most enclined and whereof he looked for the greatest pleasure and profite shall worke him the greatest plague and woe The third cause is that they may liue and punish vs which are the children of GOD who haue beene alreadie crossed and whipped by them and are neuer the better but when he hath worne them as rods to the stumpes vpon the backes of his stubburne children and well humbled vs by them he will then cast his rods into the fire God punisheth not as earthlie iudges doe to content them that haue receiued the wrong or to satisfie the worlde but because he hateth sinne and loueth righteousnesse and drawe thereout greate glorie to himselfe and singular good to his children The vse of this Doctrine may serue to terrifie the wicked who vse to make but a iest of the iudgements of God saying what so long yet till doomes day c. but it is not so loÌ„g as they dreame for the senteÌ„ce of God is begunne many times to be executed vpon the wicked euen when they least feele it for it is a iudgement of it selfe to be past feeling of Gods iudgement when they sinne It serueth also to comfort the godly who thinke the time long till the Lord take the wicked in hand which do oppresse and vexe them Lastly let it serue to admonish all of vs to looke vnto our waies and to liue so as that when God shall get vp vnto his iudgement seat we may be found in Christ our great suertie vnblameable and so escape the fearefull and irrecouerable sentence of the wicked and reprobate and on the other side may receiue our quietus est and discharge with Gods elect in Christ Iesus To whom with the Father and the holy Spirit be all honour power and dominion for euermore Now let vs praise God Amen Errata In pag. 16. line 13. that for read for that pa 20. li. 17. for thine read mine in line 20. for thy r. the. pa. 37. li. 16. for they in r. they are in lin 18. afficted re afflicted pa. 41. lin 24. want re wait pa. 51. li. 8. be re for pa 52 lin 3. case r. cause pa. 63. li. 1. then the read then to the.

To sit in iudgment vpon the poore mans case So that when God doth proceede against the wicked it is in iudgement And though the poore commit his cause vnto God yet it shal be iudged and without a iudiciall proceeding shall nothing be done for God is no acaccepter of persons as men be though he loueth the godly yet they shall stand to their triall and though he hateth the wicked yet they shall haue their triall all shall be iudged and all wronges shall be righted by iudgement therfore it is saide in the Psalme The Lord shall iudge the people righteously This maketh the godly so willingly to appeale vnto God saying as Sarai said to Abraham The Lord be Iudge betweene me and thee God hath erected iudgement feates on earth vpon whom he hath set Princes and rulers and graced them with his owne name and sittes amongst them to make them to be honoured and regarded And their iudgments are or should be Gods iudgements but oftentimes through corruption good matters are borne downe bad matters are borne vp we see the complaint of Amos proue too true They turne iudgement to wormewood saith hee and leaue of righteousnes And that also of Esay By conceiuing and vttering out of the heart false matters iudgement is turned backe and iustice standeth farre of for trueth is fallen in the streete iniquitie cannot enter yea trueth faileth saith the Prophet and he that refraineth from euill maketh himselfe a pray But what was there no remedie how did the Lotd take this geare marke what followeth when the Lord saw it it displeased him that there was no iudgement And when he saw that there was no man he wondred that none would offer himselfe But is that all verily no. Therefore his arme did saue it that is his power did rescue the praie and his righteousnes it selfe did sustaine it that is he himselfe tooke the matter in hand For he put on righteousnes as an habergeon and an helmet of saluation vpon his head as if he were to goe amongst his enemies He put on the garments of vengeance for a cloathing was clad with zeale as with a cloak as to recompence and to requite the furie of the aduersaries he will fully repaie the Ilands So shall they feare the name of the Lord from the West and his glorie from the rising of the sunne for the enemie shall come like a floode but the spirit of the Lord shall chase him away And this is the godly poore mans comfort Therefore saith the Psalmist Let the people be glad and reioyce for thou shalt iudge the folke righteously and gouerne the nations of the world And Paule saith It is a righteous thing with God to recompence tribulation to them that trouble you And to you which are troubled rest with vs when the Lord Shall shew himselfe from heauen with his mightie Angels And in his first Epistle speaking of the same matter in other wordes he concludeth thus Comfort your selues one another with these words And heere Dauid reioyceth and praiseth God for that he will iudge the poore and fatherlesse Iustice and equitie in the world and from the world are two of the hardest the dearest the rarest iewels that caÌ„ be gotteÌ„ the poore do desire theÌ„ God hath granted their desire to iudge the fatherles the poore that the maÌ„ of earth cause to feare no more And here now we see that verified which is in Psal. 126. 5. They that sow in teares shall reape in ioy And that which we haue in a prouerbe A hard beginning maketh a good ending for one woulde haue thought by Dauids beginning of this Psalme that he should not haue made so good an end for thus he beginneth Why doest thou hide thy selfe aad stand a farr off O Lord in time of affliction That is Why haue we not iustice but he endeth as you heare Lord thou hast hearde the desire of the poore to iudge which is as much as can be desired But let vs reason a little with Dauid abou this matter How is it that thou beginning so rudely doest speed so well in the end If the God of heauen should haue dealt with thee Dauid as the Gods of the earth doe with their suters it were a wonder that euer thou shouldest finde so much fauour for though thy matter were good yet thou mightest haue marred it in the handling thou diddest vtter one speach that was inough to haue spilled all Why doest thou hide thy selfe c. What an vnreuerent rash and vnaduised speach was this to vtter to the Lord of Heauen and Earth would the Gods of the earth haue takeÌ„ such a speach at thy hand or at any poore mans hand No Dauid no many haue sustained great wrong by wicked men and haue had good causes that for such a word yea for a lesse offence then thine haue bene very hardly dealt withal wheÌ„ they haue but craued iustice c. Now thy fault is greater and God is a seuere God it is to be maruailed then how thou diddest escape and speede so well as thou diddest It is true indeed saith Dauid I confesse my frailtie and my fault to be great and so must they also that speake rashly before Gods Magistrates but if the Lord should narrowly marke euery word that is spoken or euery thing that is done amisse as men doe who coulde stand before him No the Lord knoweth whereof we be made and considereth in mercy that through extreame heate of passionate affections and weaknes of faith his children be caried many times beyond themselues but vpon their humble submission and vnfained repentance he freely forgiueth theÌ„ though men will not Yea the Lord in mercie doth put a difference betweene his seruants his enemies though men many times will not I recanted my opinion and sayde The Lord is king for euer and euer for all my rude beginning haue through Gods mercy obtained a good ending Praised be the Lord which hath hearde the desire of the poore to iudge the fatherlesse and the poore that the man of earth cause to feare no more A notable example for earthen Gods magistrates I meane to follow and not with bitternes and rigour to censure and in extremitie to prosecute euerie slip and aduantage of poore ministers and other honest men when they come to complaine before them but with loue words of graue and gracious counsell to heale or at least to couer the sore least the vncircumcised doe reioyce and triumph ouer their fathers and brethren as cursed Cham did at his fathers nakednes And so much for the bringing of the beginning and ending of Dauids petition together Nowe let vs heare a little more of the thing it selfe that the Lord hath granted and that is this that it will please his Maiestie to heare determine betweene his poore people on the one side and their cruell oppressors on the other side
