A14189	Peters fall Two sermons vpon the historie of Peters denying Christ. Wherin we may see the causes of mans falling from God, and the manner how, both of the wicked thorough incredulitie, and of the godly by infirmitie: and also the way that God hath set downe in his worde to rise againe. By Iohn Vdall, preacher of the word of God at Kingston vpon Temmes.	Udall, John, 1560?-1592.	1584 (1584)	STC 24503; ESTC S101285	38,462	103

one_o godless_a man_n have_v or_o pretend_v to_o have_v any_o quarrel_n against_o such_o as_o fear_v the_o lord_n all_o the_o bird_n of_o that_o uiperous_a feather_n do_v violent_o flock_v together_o against_o that_o poor_a servant_n of_o god_n yea_o if_o they_o heretofore_o have_v be_v foe_n they_o agree_v together_o to_o persecute_v the_o godly_a 12._o for_o herode_fw-la and_o pilate_n will_v be_v make_v friend_n that_o their_o power_n may_v be_v the_o more_o against_o christ_n that_o their_o policy_n may_v be_v conjoin_v to_o determine_v his_o death_n behold_v here_o again_o the_o wicked_a wise_a in_o their_o generation_n than_o the_o godly_a for_o if_o a_o godly_a thing_n be_v motion_v in_o a_o assembly_n or_o conference_n the_o rest_n shall_v be_v very_o forward_o to_o help_v it_o but_o alas_o the_o remnaunte_n of_o old_a adam_n do_v stick_v so_o fast_o on_o and_o private_a consideration_n do_v so_o violent_o carry_v man_n away_o that_o they_o will_v rather_o be_v hinderer_n than_o furtherer_n cast_v doubt_n and_o inconvenience_n in_o the_o way_n though_o the_o motion_n be_v draw_v out_o of_o the_o fowelle_n of_o god_n own_o word_n against_o which_o no_o mouth_n shall_v once_o dare_v to_o speak_v whereupon_o it_o come_v that_o religion_n be_v receyve_v according_a as_o man_n be_v dyrect_v by_o his_o own_o natural_a reason_n and_o god_n word_n be_v obey_v so_o far_o as_o we_o think_v it_o convenient_a for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o our_o own_o honour_n dignity_n and_o estate_n yea_o though_o our_o honour_n dishonour_v the_o lord_n and_o our_o dignity_n bring_v discredit_n to_o our_o profession_n and_o our_o wealth_n procure_v want_n to_o the_o church_n of_o god_n but_o they_o who_o the_o lord_n have_v truelye_o convert_v unto_o himself_o who_o heart_n the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v seize_v upon_o for_o the_o lord_n to_o dwell_v in_o and_o who_o mind_n he_o have_v enlighten_v to_o attend_v unto_o the_o truth_n 16.14_o be_v careful_a that_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v perform_v that_o reason_n be_v restrain_v and_o all_o their_o affection_n rule_v by_o the_o line_n of_o his_o most_o bless_a word_n whereby_o every_o one_o of_o we_o may_v have_v good_a occasion_n to_o examine_v ourselves_o how_o far_o we_o have_v profit_v or_o whither_o or_o no_o we_o have_v enter_v into_o the_o way_n of_o true_a religion_n for_o thy_o speech_n bewray_v thou_o etc._n etc._n when_o they_o see_v that_o he_o deni_v it_o they_o go_v about_o by_o circumstance_n to_o prove_v it_o against_o he_o to_o wit_n that_o his_o speech_n be_v wray_v he_o for_o you_o must_v note_v that_o as_o in_o our_o nation_n the_o property_n of_o the_o speech_n in_o the_o north_n do_v differ_v from_o that_o of_o the_o southe_n whereby_o a_o man_n be_v know_v what_o country_n man_n he_o be_v even_o so_o the_o speech_n use_v in_o galilee_n differ_v something_o from_o that_o which_o be_v in_o use_n about_o jerusalem_n by_o which_o they_o gather_v that_o he_o be_v a_o galilean_a note_v the_o mark_n whereby_o peter_n be_v know_v even_o his_o speech_n he_o be_v a_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n he_o have_v learn_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o government_n of_o the_o church_n from_o the_o mouth_n of_o christ_n and_o yet_o he_o be_v not_o discern_v by_o his_o apparel_n from_o another_o man_n whereby_o we_o learn_v that_o in_o the_o primitive_a time_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n be_v know_v by_o their_o doctrine_n and_o other_o note_n belong_v unto_o they_o and_o not_o by_o any_o outward_a form_n but_o as_o religion_n decay_v so_o the_o true_a note_n of_o god_n minister_n vanish_v away_o and_o because_o the_o people_n be_v become_v blind_a in_o discern_v the_o spirit_n they_o must_v have_v note_n apply_v to_o their_o sight_n to_o wit_n to_o know_v he_o by_o his_o garment_n which_o they_o think_v to_o be_v the_o sheep_n clothing_n do_v deceive_v the_o people_n by_o the_o effect_n of_o raven_a wolf_n and_o this_o fond_a or_o rather_o obstinate_a blindness_n the_o more_o be_v the_o pity_n remain_v yet_o among_o we_o that_o carnal_a man_n who_o knowledge_n be_v fleshly_a must_v have_v a_o sensible_a and_o pompous_a show_n in_o the_o world_n to_o persuade_v they_o that_o such_o and_o such_o be_v minister_n but_o my_o brethren_n as_o this_o argue_v in_o they_o that_o they_o be_v altogether_o carnal_a so_o contrariwise_o let_v we_o labour_n to_o find_v out_o by_o the_o mark_n that_o god_n have_v set_v upon_o they_o and_o not_o the_o badge_n of_o man_n that_o may_v deceive_v we_o who_o be_v the_o true_a shepherd_n of_o christ_n sheep_n and_o upon_o who_o we_o may_v be_v bold_a to_o receive_v the_o food_n of_o our_o soul_n lest_o in_o stead_n thereof_o we_o receive_v rank_n poison_n for_o the_o most_o infect_v venom_n that_o ever_o pollute_a the_o soul_n of_o man_n have_v be_v cover_v with_o the_o veil_n of_o those_o mark_n which_o now_o the_o world_n will_v have_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n word_n discern_v by_o then_o begin_v he_o to_o curse_v etc._n etc._n they_o be_v not_o yet_o content_v although_o he_o have_v swear_v unto_o they_o as_o faithless_a person_n make_v no_o reckon_n of_o a_o oath_n for_o now_o they_o come_v together_o and_o affirm_v that_o he_o be_v very_o with_o they_o now_o peter_n see_v their_o importunate_a suit_n be_v determine_v to_o feed_v their_o humour_n though_o it_o cost_v he_o the_o loss_n of_o his_o own_o soul_n for_o he_o curss_v himself_o if_o he_o know_v the_o man_n here_o we_o may_v see_v the_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n that_o they_o that_o think_v best_o of_o themselves_o and_o boast_v most_o of_o their_o own_o hability_n do_v most_o evident_o declare_v the_o contrary_a by_o the_o effect_n for_o peter_n who_o before_o will_v never_o forsake_v christ_n be_v now_o go_v so_o far_o from_o he_o as_o any_o man_n can_v for_o he_o be_v now_o throw_v into_o the_o very_a depth_n of_o sin_n into_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n and_o into_o satan_n claw_n nothing_o remain_v of_o his_o own_o part_n unfinished_a that_o can_v increase_v his_o eternal_a destruction_n a_o case_n most_o lamentable_a and_o yet_o it_o be_v the_o state_n of_o all_o mankind_n not_o uphold_v with_o god_n spirit_n answer_v i_o will_v very_o glad_o be_v resolve_v of_o this_o doubt_n by_o any_o pelagian_n papist_n or_o any_o other_o that_o maintain_v fréewill_n in_o man_n how_o much_o peter_n have_v leave_v within_o he_o when_o he_o do_v fall_v for_o this_o i_o be_o sure_a he_o have_v all_o his_o natural_a power_n remain_v within_o he_o so_o that_o if_o he_o have_v any_o how_o then_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o he_o have_v no_o benefit_n by_o it_o if_o he_o have_v none_o then_o sure_o it_o be_v that_o by_o nature_n we_o have_v no_o inclination_n to_o do_v well_o for_o if_o any_o have_v power_n of_o himself_o to_o stand_v in_o that_o grace_n that_o he_o be_v place_v in_o than_o peter_n may_v for_o he_o have_v profit_v well_o in_o godliness_n but_o if_o none_o can_v stand_v when_o he_o be_v set_v upon_o the_o foot_n of_o god_n mercy_n without_o the_o special_a uphold_v of_o the_o lord_n then_o much_o less_o can_v any_o be_v throw_v down_o in_o the_o mire_n of_o their_o natural_a corruption_n do_v any_o thing_n of_o himself_o that_o be_v good_a towards_o his_o own_o salvation_n away_o then_o with_o all_o such_o fréewill_n and_o let_v we_o by_o the_o example_n of_o peter_n downfall_n begin_v to_o learn_v another_o lesson_n namely_o that_o man_n of_o himself_o can_v not_o think_v a_o good_a thought_n 5._o and_o therefore_o in_o so_o much_o that_o every_o good_a thing_n come_v from_o the_o lord_n 17._o that_o we_o in_o all_o humility_n submit_v ourselves_o confess_v our_o nakedness_n that_o by_o his_o merciful_a goodness_n we_o may_v be_v preserve_v and_o again_o where_o we_o see_v that_o peter_n a_o very_o upright_o man_n and_o zealous_a in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n have_v once_o begin_v to_o depart_v from_o the_o lord_n have_v no_o stay_n of_o himself_o but_o run_v headlong_o into_o the_o bottom_n of_o iniquity_n we_o be_v especial_o to_o take_v heed_n that_o we_o use_v those_o mean_n which_o god_n have_v appoint_v in_o his_o word_n to_o stay_v the_o beginning_n of_o sin_n for_o if_o it_o enter_v once_o with_o the_o head_n it_o be_v that_o serpent_n that_o will_v easy_o wind_v in_o the_o whole_a body_n if_o satan_n have_v plain_o say_v to_o peter_n at_o the_o first_o curse_v thyself_o if_o ever_o thou_o do_v know_v christ_n i_o be_o persuade_v that_o he_o will_v have_v loathe_v it_o extreme_o and_o not_o have_v hearken_v unto_o he_o but_o he_o be_v subtle_a than_o so_o for_o he_o bring_v he_o unto_o that_o at_o the_o last_o without_o any_o stay_n which_o at_o the_o first_o he_o
