if_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o myslyke_v thy_o sin_n why_o shall_v he_o raise_v such_o a_o report_n on_o thou_o why_o shall_v he_o save_v thy_o good_a name_n if_o he_o be_v not_o mind_v to_o show_v thou_o mercy_n and_o if_o he_o will_v not_o have_v thou_o with_o all_o thy_o hart_n to_o repent_v thou_o of_o all_o thy_o sin_n why_o do_v he_o whip_v thy_o naked_a conscience_n for_o sin_n therefore_o if_o by_o this_o love_a kindness_n we_o be_v not_o lead_v unto_o repentance_n very_o it_o wylbe_n a_o sin_n that_o shall_v not_o escape_v unpunished_a thus_o we_o have_v hear_v how_o a_o evyll_n name_n do_v arise_v of_o sin_n commit_v and_o what_o profit_n must_v be_v take_v hereof_o now_o let_v we_o further_o consider_v how_o a_o man_n must_v profit_v by_o a_o evyll_n name_n not_o when_o he_o have_v deserve_v it_o by_o some_o sin_n but_o when_o he_o have_v only_o fail_v in_o this_o that_o he_o have_v give_v occasion_n to_o be_v suspect_v of_o any_o evyll_n this_o occasion_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n first_o when_o either_o good_a duty_n be_v either_o altogether_o omit_v or_o do_v with_o a_o grudge_a mind_n or_o as_o it_o be_v of_o constraynt_n this_o report_n must_v teach_v thou_o that_o although_o thou_o be_v not_o so_o evyll_n as_o man_n will_v make_v thou_o yet_o thou_o be_v not_o so_o good_a as_o thou_o ought_v to_o be_v therefore_o by_o this_o thou_o must_v learn_v to_o be_v more_o careful_a of_o do_v good_a so_o to_o do_v it_o with_o great_a and_o better_a courage_n for_o the_o lord_n love_v a_o cheerful_a giver_n the_o second_o occasion_n be_v inward_a which_o although_o no_o man_n can_v find_v out_o yet_o the_o lord_n for_o thy_o good_a do_v cause_v i_o to_o speak_v evyll_n of_o thou_o for_o it_o this_o inward_a occasion_n be_v when_o thy_o hart_n have_v either_o give_v some_o full_a consent_n to_o do_v evyll_n or_o at_o least_o have_v much_o wander_v in_o think_v of_o it_o here_o the_o lord_n do_v take_v the_o time_n and_o suffer_v man_n to_o report_v of_o thou_o that_o thou_o have_v do_v that_o which_o in_o deene_n thou_o have_v not_o do_v yet_o in_o thy_o hart_n thou_o have_v take_v pleasure_n in_o it_o then_o the_o way_n to_o profit_v by_o this_o be_v to_o confess_v the_o goodness_n of_o the_o lord_n who_o will_v not_o have_v thou_o to_o fall_v into_o such_o sin_n as_o may_v deserve_v discredit_n for_o such_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n that_o if_o a_o evyll_n think_v do_v long_o tarry_v in_o the_o mind_n it_o be_v hardly_o restrain_v before_o it_o come_v to_o the_o outward_a act_n again_o by_o this_o report_n thus_o raise_v on_o we_o we_o must_v take_v occasion_n to_o call_v back_o ourselves_o if_o we_o have_v consent_v to_o evyll_n and_o with_o grief_n to_o be_v sorrowful_a for_o it_o or_o if_o we_o have_v not_o as_o yet_o consent_v we_o must_v labour_v to_o repress_v the_o heat_n of_o our_o affection_n and_o quench_v they_o by_o the_o moisture_n of_o the_o word_n and_o thus_o much_o be_v sufficient_v for_o those_o report_n which_o arise_v of_o some_o just_a ground_n and_o occasion_n the_o last_o point_n to_o be_v handle_v in_o this_o whole_a case_n be_v to_o see_v what_o use_n must_v be_v make_v of_o those_o report_n which_o be_v altogether_o false_a and_o have_v neither_o ground_n nor_o good_a beginning_n for_o it_o may_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o when_o a_o man_n have_v avoid_v evyll_n and_o do_v good_a when_o he_o have_v shun_v the_o occasion_n of_o evyll_n and_o do_v all_o good_a with_o a_o cheerful_a hart_n yet_o he_o may_v be_v very_o ill_o report_v of_o and_o his_o good_a name_n hynder_v now_o if_o this_o do_v befall_v any_o man_n he_o must_v know_v that_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n his_o do_v and_o that_o the_o lord_n do_v it_o either_o to_o correct_v sin_n or_o else_o to_o prevent_v it_o the_o lord_n i_o say_v do_v by_o this_o mean_n sometime_o correct_v sin_n either_o in_o the_o same_o kind_n or_o in_o some_o other_o in_o the_o same_o kind_n he_o deal_v thus_o he_o suffer_v thou_o to_o be_v count_v a_o adulterer_n yet_o thou_o do_v now_o live_v chaste_o and_o hate_v that_o filthy_a sin_n but_o than_o he_o see_v that_o thou_o have_v either_o be_v a_o adulterer_n and_o have_v not_o repent_v at_o all_o or_o if_o thou_o have_v sudden_o repent_v yet_o now_o thou_o begin_v to_o fail_v and_o to_o cool_v in_o the_o hatred_n of_o that_o sin_n again_o if_o after_o examination_n thou_o find_v thyself_o clear_a in_o that_o sin_n yet_o know_v that_o the_o lord_n by_o that_o report_n do_v correct_v some_o sin_n quite_o contrary_a unto_o it_o as_o if_o thou_o shall_v be_v accuse_v because_o thou_o love_v not_o thy_o wife_n whereas_o in_o deed_n thou_o love_v she_o too_o well_o or_o else_o otherwise_o he_o cause_v thou_o to_o be_v count_v a_o adulterer_n that_o thou_o may_v be_v bring_v to_o see_v thy_o covetous_a hart_n and_o to_o say_v all_o in_o one_o word_n we_o shall_v never_o make_v true_a use_n of_o report_n until_o we_o have_v be_v bring_v to_o see_v and_o repent_v of_o some_o particular_a sin_n which_o either_o we_o see_v not_o besore_n or_o else_o have_v not_o thorough_o repent_v of_o furthermore_o it_o may_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o we_o have_v do_v all_o good_a duty_n avoid_v all_o evyll_n and_o examine_v our_o repentance_n even_o for_o particular_a sin_n yet_o shall_v we_o be_v evyll_n speak_v of_o among_o man_n here_o we_o must_v know_v that_o the_o lord_n by_o report_n do_v forewarn_v we_o of_o evyll_n to_o come_v we_o be_v report_v to_o be_v of_o the_o family_n of_o love_n hereby_o we_o be_v warn_v to_o take_v heed_n

as_o it_o be_v preach_v by_o m._n richard_n greenham_n the_o text_n as_o follow_v quench_v not_o the_o spirit_n 1._o thessa._n 5.19_o all_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o scripture_n may_v be_v brief_o refer_v to_o these_o two_o head_n first_o how_o we_o may_v be_v prepare_v to_o receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n second_o how_o the_o spirit_n may_v be_v retain_v when_o we_o have_v once_o receive_v it_o and_o therefore_o s._n paul_n have_v labour_v to_o instruct_v the_o thessalonian_o in_o the_o former_a part_n of_o this_o epistle_n how_o they_o may_v receive_v the_o spirit_n do_v here_o teach_v they_o how_o to_o keep_v and_o continue_v this_o spirit_n unto_o the_o end_n and_o this_o the_o apostle_n do_v by_o geve_v they_o a_o charge_n and_o commandment_n that_o in_o no_o wise_a they_o do_v quench_v the_o spirit_n therefore_o doubtless_o teach_v that_o as_o the_o sunning_a of_o evyll_n be_v the_o first_o step_n unto_o goodness_n so_o the_o ready_a way_n to_o continue_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o our_o heart_n be_v to_o labour_v that_o it_o be_v not_o quench_v now_o the_o apostle_n upon_o a_o great_a and_o weighty_a consideration_n do_v here_o deliver_v this_o precept_n for_o first_o of_o all_o though_o all_o those_o be_v worthy_o and_o just_o condemn_v that_o never_o taste_v of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n yet_o as_o our_o saviour_n christ_n say_v a_o more_o just_a and_o fearful_a condemnation_n be_v like_a to_o come_v upon_o they_o that_o have_v once_o receyve_v it_o do_v afterwards_o loose_a the_o same_o moreover_o without_o this_o spirit_n of_o god_n no_o holy_a exercise_n can_v have_v his_o full_a effect_n for_o the_o word_n work_v not_o where_o the_o spirit_n be_v want_v prayer_n have_v no_o power_n to_o pierce_v before_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n the_o sacrament_n seem_v small_a and_o silly_a thing_n in_o our_o eye_n and_o all_o other_o order_n &_o exercise_n which_o god_n have_v grant_v and_o ordain_v for_o man_n they_o be_v unprofitable_a to_o man_n where_o the_o spirit_n be_v not_o present_a to_o convey_v they_o into_o our_o heart_n there_o to_o sceale_v up_o the_o fruit_n of_o they_o last_o of_o all_o wear_v fit_n to_o receive_v no_o good_a grace_n at_o god_n hand_n nay_o we_o do_v not_o esteem_v god_n grace_n when_o we_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n to_o teach_v we_o to_o set_v a_o due_a price_n of_o they_o for_o speak_v of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o sin_n of_o righteousness_n speak_v of_o christ_n

behold_v here_o now_o the_o spirit_n work_v behold_v how_o sin_n be_v correct_v and_o who_o so_o can_v behold_v here_o this_o in_o himself_o may_v assure_o say_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v in_o he_o that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o vain_a in_o he_o it_o be_v myghtie_a and_o lively_a in_o operation_n in_o his_o hart_n and_o the_o third_o note_n and_o effect_n be_v the_o bring_v forward_o of_o this_o work_n unto_o justification_n for_o when_o as_o the_o spirit_n have_v bring_v we_o thus_o far_o then_o do_v it_o begin_v to_o open_v unto_o we_o a_o door_n unto_o the_o grace_n &_o favour_n of_o god_n it_o do_v put_v it_o into_o our_o mind_n that_o there_o be_v mercy_n with_o god_n and_o therefore_o styr_v we_o up_o to_o seek_v mercy_n at_o his_o hand_n after_o that_o it_o do_v let_v we_o see_v how_o christ_n suffer_v to_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n that_o in_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n we_o may_v look_v to_o be_v justify_v before_o god_n and_o this_o it_o do_v not_o let_v we_o see_v only_o but_o do_v effectual_o work_v a_o sure_a persuasion_n of_o it_o in_o our_o heart_n and_o confirm_v the_o same_o by_o two_o notable_a effect_n the_o first_o be_v a_o joy_n unspeakable_a and_o glorious_a wherewith_o our_o heart_n must_v needs_o be_v take_v up_o and_o ravish_v when_o we_o see_v ourselves_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n the_o free_a mercy_n and_o grace_n of_o god_n redeem_v from_o death_n delyver_v from_o hell_n and_o free_v from_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o wicked_a the_o second_o be_v the_o peace_n of_o conscience_n which_o in_o deed_n pass_v all_o understanding_n while_o sin_n and_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n remain_v there_o be_v no_o peace_n no_o rest_n no_o quietness_n to_o be_v find_v but_o fear_v with_o terror_n without_o and_o trouble_n on_o every_o side_n but_o when_o sin_n be_v once_o nail_v to_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n when_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n be_v take_v out_o of_o our_o conscience_n and_o the_o punishment_n thereof_o far_o remove_v then_o must_v needs_o ensue_v great_a peace_n for_o our_o enemy_n dare_v not_o proceed_v against_o we_o our_o sin_n be_v forgive_v we_o and_o god_n be_v at_o one_o with_o we_o and_o for_o this_o we_o have_v the_o warrant_n and_o testimony_n of_o the_o spirit_n can_v flesh_n and_o blood_n persuade_v we_o of_o it_o can_v any_o creature_n assure_v we_o how_o god_n be_v affect_v towards_o we_o no_o doubtless_o and_o therefore_o where_o this_o joy_n and_o this_o peace_n be_v there_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o author_n and_o worker_n of_o the_o same_o for_o as_o no_o man_n know_v what_o be_v in_o man_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n which_o be_v in_o he_o so_o none_o know_v the_o will_n of_o god_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n that_o must_v certify_v our_o heart_n and_o spirit_n of_o the_o same_o and_o hereof_o do_v arise_v that_o which_o we_o take_v as_o the_o note_n when_o we_o see_v in_o ourselves_o to_o wit_n the_o baseness_n and_o unablenesse_n that_o be_v in_o we_o to_o do_v good_a for_o when_o a_o man_n do_v find_v favour_n with_o god_n from_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n than_o the_o love_n of_o god_n constrain_v he_o that_o joy_n which_o he_o conceive_v enforce_v he_o and_o put_v life_n into_o he_o for_o the_o performance_n of_o these_o thing_n which_o be_v please_v unto_o god_n then_o he_o begin_v to_o find_v himself_o not_o only_o retain_v from_o evyll_n but_o apply_v and_o frame_v to_o that_o which_o be_v good_a then_o be_v his_o understanding_n inlyghten_v to_o see_v into_o the_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n and_o into_o the_o great_a rock_n of_o his_o redemption_n and_o into_o whatsoever_o concern_v the_o save_a health_n of_o his_o soul_n then_o be_v his_o judgement_n reform_v and_o he_o be_v make_v able_a to_o judge_v between_o false_a religion_n and_o pure_a between_o the_o work_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o spirit_n that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o that_o which_o be_v evyll_n and_o displease_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n then_o be_v his_o affection_n in_o some_o good_a measure_n alter_v his_o desire_n be_v set_v not_o upon_o earthly_a but_o upon_o heavenly_a thing_n his_o joy_n be_v not_o in_o the_o earth_n but_o in_o the_o heaven_n his_o anger_n be_v waste_v and_o spend_v not_o upon_o his_o own_o private_a cause_n and_o quarrel_n but_o upon_o his_o own_o sin_n and_o whatsoever_o hinder_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o god_n this_o be_v the_o life_n of_o god_n in_o he_o thus_o he_o lyve_v that_o have_v receyve_v the_o spirit_n and_o thus_o he_o lead_v his_o life_n continual_o for_o they_o that_o have_v receyve_v the_o spirit_n be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n and_o do_v live_v according_o bryng_v forth_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o this_o have_v weakness_n join_v with_o it_o and_o man_n through_o frailty_n may_v fall_v and_o therefore_o their_o life_n be_v say_v to_o be_v hide_v in_o christ_n because_o in_o full_a and_o perfect_a manner_n it_o do_v not_o appear_v therefore_o if_o notwith_o stand_v these_o frailty_n and_o fall_n we_o will_v know_v whether_o we_o still_o retain_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n we_o must_v search_v ourselves_o and_o try_v our_o heart_n by_o these_o rule_n first_o if_o through_o frailty_n we_o have_v fall_v for_o who_o be_v he_o that_o

after_o our_o fall_n we_o do_v hold_v our_o form_a hatred_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o more_o we_o fall_v the_o more_o through_o deadly_a hatred_n we_o conceive_v against_o sin_n undoubted_o the_o

how_o thou_o may_v be_v able_a to_o wage_v battle_n in_o the_o plain_a field_n with_o sin_n and_o how_o thou_o may_v prevent_v he_o in_o all_o his_o policy_n thou_o have_v a_o further_a assurance_n

of_o god_n for_o further_a confirmation_n whereof_o we_o may_v note_v the_o manner_n of_o speech_n where_o he_o say_v quench_v not_o the_o spirit_n we_o do_v common_o say_v the_o fire_n be_v quench_v
