inconvenient especially when there may be other remedy also against the sores of particular in conveniences ib. v. 1 Cor. 14. 36. Haih the word of God gone out from you or hath it lighted on you alone Wherein he teacheth the Church of Corinth to know that there was no such great odds between them and the rest of their brethren that they should think themselves to be gold and the rest to be buâ— copper Men instructed in the knowledge of Iesus Christ there both were before you and are besides you in the world ye neither are the fountain from which first nor yet the river into which alone the word hath flowed S. 13. In Book V. i. Ps 1. 3. IT hath been set down as an axiom of good experience that all things religiously taken in hand are prosperously endâ—d because whether men in the end have that which religion did allow them to desire or that which it teacheth them contentedly to suffer they are in neither event unfortunate S. 1. ii 1. Chr. 29. 17. David was a man after Gods own heart so termed because his affection was hearty towards God Beholding the like disposition in them which lived under him it was his prayer to Amighty God O keep this for ever in the purpose and thoughts of this people For to forsake the true God of heaven is to fall into all such evils upon the face of the earth as men either destitute of grace divine may commit or unprotected from above endure ib. iii. Dan. 3. 29. In zeal to the glory of God Babylon hath excelled Sion We want that Decree of Nebuchodonosor the fury of this wicked brood hath the reins too much at liberty their tongues walk at large they spitvenome of their poysoned Hearts breaketh ouâ— to the annoyance of others what their untamed Lust suggesteth the same their licentious Mouths do every where set abroach With our contentions their irreligious humour also is much strengthned S. 2. iv 2 Chron. 2. 5. Signs must resemble the things they signifie If Religion bear the greatest sway in our hearts our outward religious Duties must shew it as far as the Church hath outward hability Duties of Religion performed by whole Societies of men ought to have in them according to our power a sensible excellency correspondent to the Majesty of him whom we worship S. 6. v. Iob 10. 12. Because Wisdom and Youth are seldom joyned in one and the ordinary course of this World is according to Iobs Observation who giveth men Advice to seek wisdom among the Antient and in the length of dayes Understanding therefore if the comparison do stand between man and man which shall hearken unto other sith the Aged for the most part are best experienced least subject unto rash and unadvised passions it hath been ever judged reasonable that their Sentence in matter of Counsel should be better trusted and more relyed upon than other mens S. 7. vi Eccles. 4. 9. That which the Church by her Ecclesiastical Authority shall probably think and define to be true and good must in congruity of reason over-rule all other inferiour Judgments whatsoever To them which ask why we thus hang our Judgments on the Churches Sleeves I answer with Salomon because two are better than one The bare consent of the whole Church should it self in these things stop their Mouths who living under it dare presume to bark against it S. 8. vii Act. 27. 38. The casting away of things profitable for the sustinence of mans Life is an unthankful Abuse of the Fruits of Gods good providence towards Mankind Which Consideration for all that did not hinder St. Paul from throwing Corn into the Sea when care of saving mens lives made it necessary to lose that which else had been better saved Neither was this to do Evil to the end that Good might come of it For of two such Evils being both not evitable the choice of the less is not evil And Evils must be in our construction judged ineviable if there be no apparent ordinary way to avoid them because where Counsel and Advice bear rule of Gods extraordinary power without extraordinary Warrant we cannot presume viii Mat. 21 13. The Argument which our Saviour useth against Profaners of the Temple he taketh from the use whereunto it was with Solemnity consecrated And as the Prophet Ieremy forbiddeth the carrying of Burthens on the Sabbath because that was a sanctified day So because the Temple was a place sanctified our Lord would not suffer no not the carriage of a Vessel through the Temple Mar. 11. These two Commandments therefore are in the Law conjoyned Ye shall keep my Sabbath and reverence my Sanctuary Lev. 26. S. 12. ix 1 Cor. 11. 22. Out of those the Apostles Words Have ye not Houses to eat and to drink in albeit Temples such as now were not then erected for the Exercise of Christian Religion it hath been nevertheless not absurdly conceived that he teacheth what difference should be made between House and House that what is fit for the dwelling place of God and what for mans Habitation he sheweth he requireth that Christian men at their own home take common Food and in the house of the Lord none but that Food which is Heavenly he instructeth them that as in the one place they use to refresh their Bodies so they may in the other learn to seek the Nourishment of their Souls and as there they sustain temporal Life so here they would learn to make provision for Eternal Christ could not suffer that â—he Temple should serve for a place of Mart â—or the Apostle of Christ that the Church should be made an Inn. ib. x. Act. 28. 11. In the use of those Names whereby we distinguish both dayes and months are we culpable of Superstition because they were who first invented them The sign of Castor and Pollux superstitiously given unto that Ship wherein the Apostle sailed polluteth not the Evangelist's Pen who thereby doth but distinguish that Ship form others S. 13. xi 1 Chron. 29. 14. In our bounteous Expences on Gods house we give unto God a Testimony of our chearful â—ffection which thinketh nothing too dear to be bestowed about the Furniture of his Service and it serveth to the World for a Witness of his Almightiness vvhom vve outvvardly honour vvith the chiefest of outvvard things as being of all things himself incomparably the greatest S. 15. xii Act. 15. 21. The Church as a Witness preacheth Gods meer revealed Truth by reading publickly the sacred Scripture Thus vve maâ— the more boldlier speak being strengthned vvith the Example of so Reverend a Prelate as saith that Moses from the time of antient Generations and Ages long since past had amongst the Cities of the very Genti 〈…〉 them that preached him in that he was 〈◊〉 every Sabbath way For so of necessity must be meant in as much as we knâ—â— that the Jews have always had their wee 〈…〉 readings of the Law of Moses
