Pleasures of the World so far â— they cannot be gotten or kept withoâ— sinning against God all his sins are so fâ— forgiven that he is in a pardoned jâ—stfied state before God yet the temporâ— chastisement and punishment is not forgâ—ven as is plain in the case of Davids pâ—nishment for his Mâ—rther and Adâ—ltery and Micah 7. 9. I will bear the Indignatiâ— of the Lord because I have sinned againâ— him until he plead my cause c. And whâ— I visit I will visit their sin upon them Nâ— the Spiritual Punishment so wholly soâ— given but that those evil courses whicâ— a Christian was most addicted unto in hâ— days of sin while he was unconverteâ— may stick by him afterwards and that â— closely that they may fetch tears from â—is eyes and signs from his heart and â—e the grief and hitterness of his Spirit â—nd make him cry out Oh wretched man â—at I am who shall deliver me c. Yea he â—ay be ready to faint under the Violence â—f his temptation and be full of doubts â—nd fears as if God had forgotten to be graâ—ious and shut up his loving kindness in disâ—leasure c. Psal 77. 9. Yea others who â—ave seemed righteous and as if they â—ere returning unto God when their past â—s have returned upon them and the â—â—ght of Gods Wrath for those sins lain envy upon their Spirits have been beatâ—n off from the ways of God and though â—hey had as it were one foot in Heaven â—ave drawn that back yea somâ— have â—een so far overcome of the Evil One â—s to have been swallowed up in despair â—nd concealing their guilt the Distemper â—ath raged the more inwardly until at â—ast they have made away themselves I â—peak this as one that passed through this â—ery trial through the Lords goodness â—hen one and the other perished in it â—nd thuâ— it will be and it must be that â—here the Sinner sinneth most and is â—ostdeep in guilt that there his Humiliation must be the greater And for tâ— very end it is that God suffers the temâ—tation to return upon him though a â—nitent and holds him long under â— temptation until he be sufficiently aâ— effectually humbled and smart for sins and find that it is an evil and bitâ— thing that he hath sinned so much â— must be punished either in this World the other World but for true Penitenâ— the future Punishment cannot reach theâ— There is no condemnation for them that are Christ Jesus therefore their sins are grief and vexation to them their pâ— and misery and punishment to them hâ— being chastened of the Lord both corporâ—ly and spiritually by the terrours of Lord let in upon their Souls for sin â— so they should not be condemned with the woâ— 1 Cor. 11. 32. Else in the second Place it is for so present sin that we are tempted by â— Lusts either for our neglect of Prayâ— and so we grow weak and want that sâ—ritual strength against these sins whâ— we used to have and our Lusts grâ— strong and get ground upon us or â— our lewd Company or high gluttonâ— feeding or spiritual Pride and Consideâ— on our own strength or for disregaâ— â—f Gods Word when that is vile in our â—yes and slighted God may then give us â—p to some vile lust or for indulging our â—ase and idleness or for Incontinency and â—sciviousness in Marriage or defiling â—olluting the Holy Sacrament or the â—ther Ordinances of God by entertainâ—ng the fancies of Lust and contemplaâ—ing them in the very time of Gods Worship Or Thirdly It must be for prevention of â—ome sin to come and thus our good God discovers to Christians the corrupâ—ion and â—ickedness of their Natures as the Founâ—ain-head of all their Lusts for a greater Mortification of this Heart-wickedness and deeper humiliation for it And this will be the best means to prevent sins for the future even when the inner rooms of the Soul are swept und cleansed from â—in for from within out of the hearts of men proceed evil Thoughts Fornications Adulteries The more the Heart is purgâ—ed the less will the life be corrupted That was partly preventive of evil when St. Saul 2 Cor. 2. 7. was tempted as he calls it by a thorn in the flesh least he should be exalted above measure God will make the best know how vile their Nature is that they are Flesh and Blood as well as other men least their exaltation in Graâ— should make them forget themselves aâ— their depravation by Nature And poâ—bly when we begin to grow more secâ— and careless more slack or negligeâ— then some Lust is let loose to awaken us Another means for the Mortification our Lusts or a good Preventive or Pâ—servative from sins of this sort is a dâ— care to flee all appearance of evil not oâ— such things as may corrupt Peoples Miâ— and Manners but whatever carries wâ— it bâ—t a suspition of lightness and imâ—desty not only to shun such speeches aâ— actions signs and geâ—tures of the Boâ— and manner of Apparel as is transparâ— and next to nakedness with sâ—ch thiâ— as have an apparent wantonness and laâ—viousness in them but avoiding thâ— things which are commonly reputed sâ— Places and Persons of ill Name and those things that may bring an ill repâ— upon you though possibly you may innocent and in that respect it be unâ—servedly A Man would not only hâ— his Wife be honest but not to go in â— Dress like to this or that Strumpet tâ— she may not so much as appear to be iâ— modest And thus our Church is not â—ly a pure Church having the Gospel a Translation uncorrupt and the Ordinances of God Prayer and Preaching and the Sacraments in their Doctrinal Purity though ut naevus in pulchro corpore some blemish in her neglect of Discipline but hath and must have a care not to come too near that shameless Strumpet of Rome if it be in appearance only The Doctrine of our Church against Transubstantiation and Declaration in the Rubrick after the Communion sufficiently clear us from symbolyzing with Idolaters in kneeling at the Sacrament and wearing the Surplice without consecraring it from Superstitition and an Opinion of Holiness of the Garment And as to the sign of the Cross some have wished it were left at liberty or the use of it forborn if there be any appearance of evil in it unto the People it appearing lawful to the Minister he should have his liberty allowed him by them to administer the Ordinance of Baptism belonging to him and not to the People and so it hath not the nature of scandal and offence as other things if not endangering the People or â—rawing them to do the like to whom it â—ppeareth evil But to return from this â—â—gression even as those that go to the utâ—ost of what is lawful may justly be carried a step farther and fall into somewhat that is sinful even so God may justly leave those to fall into real
