fallow and give them a summer-tilth of seasonable recrea●ion they will soon become barren and fruitlesse A man not well principled in his Religion unstable in all his waies THe intemperate man now sucks the grape of Orleance anon that hotter fruit of the Canaries then he is taken with the pleasant moisture of the Rhenish plants sometimes the juice of the pressed apples and pears delights him which he warmeth with the Irish Usquebath and then quencheth all with the liquor made of English barley Thus a man not well principled in his Religion is unstable in all his waies he reeles like a drunkard from place to place he hath put so much intoxicating scrupulosity into his head that he cannot stand on his legs A drunkard indeed not so much for excesse as change of liquors for his soul doth affect variety of Doctrines more than the intemperate body doth variety of drinks He takes in a draught of Religion from every Country so much of Anabaptism as may make him a rebell so much of that loving Family as may make him an adulterer so much of Rome as may make him a traitor so much of Arrianism as may make him a blaspheamer Onely he will stand to nothing as the drunkard can stand at nothing He knowes what he hath been he knowes not what he will be nay he knowes not what he is The want of Zeal in the cause of God reproved IN the sacking of Troy Aeneas is said first to have exported 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 then 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to have carried out his gods even before his dearest father Look upon the Turks eagernesse in defending and propagating that their Law Non disputando sed pugnando as Mahomet their Prophet hath taught them Or if Christian instances may be more operative look upon the Romanists their Iesuites own expression shall evidence their earnestnesse Campian in his Epistle to the Councill of Queen Elizabeth Quandiu unus quispiam ● nobis supererit qui Tiburno vestro fruatur c. saith he That so long as there was any one Iesuite of them remaining to enjoy Tiburn any one of them left for the gallowes torment and imprisonment they had vowed never to desist endeavouring to set up that Religion in the Nation Shall Turks then and Heathens and Papists solicite their bad cause so earnestly and we our good cause our Go●'s cause so faintly O let it not be said Acri●s ad pernitiem quàm nos ad salutem that they should drive like Iehu fiercely and we like Egyptians with their wheeles off heavily they clamour out for their woodden and breaden god and we by our sluggishnesse prejudice and betray the cause of our great and glorious God How Faith alone may be said to justifie JUdith cut off Holofernes's head alone the commandeth all her attendants as well great as little to stand without her Tent and to go forth of her presence but when once the deed is done when the Serpent's head is broken and trodd under foot her whole troop runs to her and stands about her Thus albeit Faith apprehending Gods sure mercy for the full and free pardon of sins is in our justification sola yet in our conversation it is not solitaria but ever accompanied with cleannesse of hands which is ready to do that which is right and with a graciousnesse of tongue which is ready to speak that which is true neither deceiving our neighbour nor blaspheming God by lifting up his soul unto vanity i. e. taking his Name in vain as some Divines expound it The Commandements of God the reasonablenesse of them THere is mention made of one who willingly fetched water neer two miles every day for a whole year together to poure upon a dry dead stick upon the bare command of a Superior when no reason could be given for so doing How ready then should every one be to do God service to be at the command of Iesus Christ whose service is perfect freedom whose commands are back'd with reason and whose precepts are attended with encouragements Never did any man serve him in vain never was any mans labour in or for the Lord forgotten Nay as he doth not let Obedience go unrequited so doth he not require it with a little or measure out his rewards by inches or scantlings but such as shall be pressed down shaken together and running over To be servent in Prayer AN Arrow if it be drawn up but a little way it goes not far but if it be pull'd up to the head it flies strongly and pierceth deeply Thus Prayer if it be but dribled forth of carelesse lips it falls down at our feet It is the strength of ejaculation that sends it up into Heaven and fetches down a blessing thence The child hath escaped many a stripe by his loud cry and the very unjust Iudge cannot endure the widow's clamour Heartlesse motions do but be speak a denyall whereas fervent suits offer a sacred violence both to Earth and Heaven It is not the Arithmetick of our prayers how many they are nor the Rhetorick of our prayers how eloquent they be nor the Geometry of our prayers how long they be nor the Musick of our prayers the sweetnesse of our voice nor the Logick of our prayers and the method of them but the Divinity of our prayers which God so much affecteth He looketh not for any Iames with horny knees through assiduity of prayer nor for any Bartholomew with a century of prayers for the Morning and as many for the Evening but St. Pauls frequency of praying with f●rvency of spirit that 's it which availeth much Iam. 5. 16. Parents not to be over carefull to make their Children rich THere is a true story of a rich oppressour who had stored up a great masse of wealth for his onely son This man falling into sicknesse and thereby into some remorse called his son to him and told him how abundantly he had provided for him withall asking him whether he did truly and really love him The son answered That nature besides his paternall indulgence bound him to that The father being now in his sick bed further puts him to it How he would expresse his love to him The son answered and said In any thing that he should command him Hereupon his father chargeth him to hold his finger in the burning can●le but so long as he could say one Pater noster without removing it The son attempted it but could not endure it Yet saies his father to get thee wealth and a large estate upon Earth I have hazarded my soul to Hell for the vvelfare of thy body I have ventured my soul Thou canst not suffer the burning of a finger for me I must burn body and soul for thy sake thy pain is but for a minute mine must be unquenchable fire even torments for ever By this consideration being melted into repentance
