manie either for want of discretion in not iudging of spirituall actions more maturely and soberly or that I gaped after vaine glorie which would condemne mee of greater follie among al Godlie mē but chieflie for that I had no iust or good occasion to induce me to the same The cause therefore why it is come forth in briefe was this At the time I made my exhortation publicklie in Christ his Church in London my wordes were no soner out of my mouth but a yong youth had penned my Sermon verbatim by Characterie an art newly inuented It was this youthes pleasure for the manifesting of his skill in that swift kind of writing to publish my Sermon in print yet honestlie he came vnto me to enforme me first of the matter Hee was to me a meere straunger of whom after I had vnderstood his intent and purpose I craued respite to pause of the matter before I would giue my consent I considered first of my selfe what might be thought or spoken rather I should be esteemed foolish and vainglorious thā to deserue commendation of anie man Secondlie that the youth did it but to shew his skill and cunning in the dexteritie of his owne handewriting and that it was not simply for the health of soules or spirituall profite of any man and after I had debated thus to fro with my selfe I was determined to haue staied his copie and to haue let all alone Yet remēbring my selfe that the workes of the Lorde are wonderful and that he vseth such means for bringing of thinges to passe which are verie strange and to me vnknowen That the matter might perhaps be profitable vnto some that whereas I being but newly cōuerted of many suspected for my synceritie in religion it might bee an occasion to giue some farther testimonie then I haue done and that some thinges it may please the Lord to worke by this simple actiō for the benefite of his Church which vnto me was vnknowen I altered my purpose and intent so far forth as I would not be iudge of mine owne doing but commit it to some other I did write my letters therefore vnto a graue learned man I told him what had happened and I set downe mine owne mislike for feare that thinges might not be well orderly done subiecting my selfe and my matter vnto his vertuous wise and learned censure It pleased him to returne me my copy again approued what should I do should I conceale it so I might perhaps contristate the holy Spirite For the comming of it forth might yeelde perhaps some deuout and penitent soule some comfort and profite For thy sake therefore good Christian Reader who so euer thou art without all other respect I haue permitted this slēder endeuor of mine to come to light in hope that although I may be subiect vnto blame of manie yet I may do some good therby to few To teach them how they ought to detest and hate sinne to walke warelie before the face of the Lord that receiuing the manifold graces mercies at his hands they be not vngrateful hauing once throwne out the foule spirit of sinne out of their soules by true repētance they permit him not to returne again by their great fault and negligence for if they do what will follow thereof they shall vnderstand by the future discourse Thus hauing giuen thee a full satisfaction of the cause of the publishing of this present discourse I am to admonish but one other thing and so I end He that penned my Sermon as I vttered it in Pulpit did it most exactly writing it word for word Yet when I perceiued that it should come to the print I did onely peruse it againe altering some words but nothing of the matter and thus much I thought good to aduertise least they that heard me when I pronoūced it should thinke it was not the same but some other And this being all that I am to say at this time by way of preface if any spirituall comfort redound thereby vnto thy soule Gods name be glorified and it is all that I require and so I commit thee vnto the Lord my selfe to thy good prayer From my chāber in London 1589. 1.

Chap. 12. vers 43.44.45 When the vnclean spirit is gon out of a man he walketh throughout drie places seeking rest and findeth none Then he saith I wil returne into my house from whēce I came out And when hee is come he findeth it emptie swept and garnished Then goeth he taketh 7. spirites worse then himselfe and they enter in and dwell there And the last state of that man is worse then the first Euen so shall it bee also vnto this froward generation THE Occasion of these our Sauiour his wordes Right Worshipfull and deerly beloued in our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ of diuers men is diuerslie considered Some thinke that they are generallie ment of the whole multitude of the Iewes who after they had receiued the law of Moses being brought out of Egipt when the Deuils had possessed them with great blindnes and superstition and were taught a peculiar and true manner of worshipping the Lord according to his holie wil and pleasure Exod. 20. that then the Deuil departed from the Iewes and trauelled drie and desert places neuer resting vntil hee came among the Gentiles whom hee corrupted in such vile and grosse manner as loosing both common sence humane reason and vnderstanding they fel into all blindnes idolatrie and superstition and wallowed and continued in the same vntill such time as our Lord and Sauiour was incarnate and preached the truth of his holie Gospell among them the which glad tidinges the Gentlies embraced beleeuing in Christ Iesus and forsaking the grosse errours whereas the Iewes vnto whō the promise most properlie belonged to whō Messias peculiarly was promised remained most obstinate Gen. 12.3 18.18 and wold neither receiue him or beleeue in him Sathan then with all the foule troupe of his filthie familie being cast out of the Gentiles by the faith they had in Iesus Christ and hauing then no rest said hee would returne vnto the place from whence he came namelie to the vncredulous Iewes and finding their Synagogue empty that is the Scribes Pharises and principal teachers of the Law to be void of faith to contradict al that they might Iesus Christ who was come into the world for their saluation and comfort and that it was also garnished that is to say stuffed and filled with a number of blinde ceremonies pharisaicall traditions contrarie vnto that that the Lord had either taught or cōmaunded thē in so much as our Sauiour pronounced his terrible woes as you may read at large in S.
