These Signs of the Weather are not so fallible as Astrological Predictions And People sometimes are saying we want Rain and sometimes fair weather all signs fail Oh! But the greatest want is the want of Obedience to the Talent or measure of Gods Grace in every heart that would lead People into Temperance in all things in fruitful seasons and out of that mind that seldom thinks that they have Apparel Meat Drink and Furniture good enough and that makes waste of any of Gods good Creatures as too many do when the poor wants * Jacob vowed that if God will be with him and will keep him in the way that he goes and will give him bread to eat and raiment to put on he will give the tenth unto the Lord Gen. 28.20 22. Even ●o will the seed of Jacob at this day give the Tenths or more if need be of the increase of God● Bl●ssings upon their outward Estate unto the Lord that is unto the poor and Fatherless and Widdows that wants relief Mat. 25.40 2 Cor. 9.7 So that now if it shall please God to cause a Famine it is but just upon many who regard not nor lay to heart the many warnings and threatning Judgments that hangs over our heads which God hath shewed to many in the midst of many Mercies yet but few regard with their whole heart to seek after Righteousness by departing from iniquity in the fear of the Lord because Sin is the chief cause of sorrow that comes upon Man and Beast and makes the Earth to mourn Oh that People should still resist the strivings of Gods good Spirit as in every Age Gen. 6.3 that would lead them out of all evil into favour with God Deut. 28.2 3 4 5. Are people willing to forget that the sins of the people have in all ages brought Gods Judgments upon them Which makes the Righteous rejoyce because many will learn Righteousness when Gods Judgments are in the Earth Isa 26.9 Though the Righteous in some outward things bear a share of the Judgment yet have they true Content Peace and Joy being redeemed from the Earth and all vis●ble things so as to set their hearts upon them 1 Kin. 8.35 36 37.

He brought to light and suppressed many Popish Idolatrous Images and other superstitions of the Church of Rome for which they sought his death which the King afterwards lamented c. One Rood of Grace or Image wherein a man stood inclosed with a hundred Wires within the Rood to make the Image goggle its Eyes nod its head hang the Lip move and shake its Jaws according to the value of the gift offered if it were a small piece of Silver then would he hang a frowning Lip if it were a piece of Gold then should his Jaws go merrily Thus were poor peoples Souls seduced and their Pockets pick'd by these Idolatrous forgers until Cromwel caused the said Image to be carried publickly to Pauls in London where the People tore it in pieces Then in Queen Maries time Daughter to the said King Henry the 8th Bishop Bonner put out a Mandate to the Priests within his Diocess commanding that comely Roods or Images should be again set up in all Churches c. the same injunction was published in other Diocesses for at Cockram in Lancashire the Parishioners and Wardens had agreed with a Carver to make them a Rood to set up in their Church at a certain price which the Carver did but the Rood being made of an ugly grim Countenance they disliked it and refused to pay the Workman that made it whereupon by Warrant he brought them before the Mayor of Lancaster who was a favourer of the Protestants and a man against Idols when they came before the Mayor he asked them why they did not pay the man according to their agreement they replied they did not like the grimness of its Visage saying they had a man formerly with a handsome Face and they would have had such another now Well said the Mayor though you like not the Rood the poor mans labour has been never the less and it's pitty he should lose but I tell you what you shall do pay him the Money you promised him and if it will not serve you for a God you may make a Devil of it at which they laughed and so departed How pleasant Pictures become Idols in the Heart AN Image or Idol saith Paul 1 Cor. 8.4 is nothing c. that is it is nothing to thee but if thou set it in thy Heart and affectionate it or any other Picture thou bows to it and this is Idolatry Thou shalt make thee no graven Image saith God neither any similitude of things that are in Heaven above neither that are in the Earth beneath nor that are in the Waters under the Earth thou shalt not bow down to them c. Exod. 20.4 5. Though we make them say some people we do not bow to them or worship them Answer If thou art covetous after them and hast inordinate affection to them thou hast set them in thy heart and this is Idolatry Ezek. 14.2 Col. 3.5 And worships and serves the Creatures more than the Creator c. Rom. 1.25 Set your affections on things above not on things on the Earth Col. 3.2 My Son give me thine heart and let thine eyes observe my ways Prov. 23.26 So that he that has given his heart to God his affections will not be set upon liknesses for so his mind may be drawn from God who is to have the whole heart We may read that the Heathens did wonderfully adore the likenesses of things c. yet being no example to a Christian whose heart and Treasure is only in God and

18.21 IN the valley Hinnon not far from Jerusalem the Jews set up an Idol of Copper like a King which they called Moloch that is a King of Idols This Copper Idol stood with the Arms stretching out and under it was a great fire whereby the Image shewed fire-red and besides that the more to honour it they made a great fire between two Walls which burnt for his sake and through this fire the Idolatrous Priests cast living Children into Moloch's burning Arms which he with his Arms red hot burnt to Death And in this manner the Jews offered their own Children to the Idol Moloch and when they did it they made a great noise and cry and beat upon a Drum that the Fathers when their Children were offered should not hear them cry by reason of the great noise of the Drum and therefore Christ likened this valley of Hinnon to Hell fire saith the Margent to Matth. 5 chap.

It was destroyed by Josiah 〈◊〉 Kin. 23.10 Feasts that Christ allows of but contrary to Dives's Feasts Luke 16.19 26. THen said Jesus when thou makest a Dinner or Supper call not thy Friends nor thy Brethren neither thy Kinsmen nor thy rich Neighbours lest they also bid the again and a recompence be made thee But when thou makest a Feast call the poor the maimed the lame the blind and thou shalt be blessed for they cannot recompence thee bu● thou shalt be recompenced at the Resurrection of the Just Luk. 14.12 13 14. Who of the rich of this Worlds Goods takes Christ's Counsel in this matter So that by the vanity tha● follows most feastings in these days we may say as the Preacher once said Eccles 7.2 That 〈◊〉 is better to go to the House of Mourning than to th● House of Feasting Apparel and Furniture the excess therein not to be amongst Christians and the poor wants I will therefore saith the Apostle Paul that Women adorn themselves in modest apparel with shamefacedness and sobriety not with broidered Hair or Gold or Pearls or costly array but which becometh Women professing Godliness with good works 1 Tim. 2.9 10. And saith the Apostle Peter let not your adorning be in that outward adorning of platting the Hair and of wearing of Gold or of putting on of Apparel but let it be the hidden man of the heart in that which is not corruptible even the Ornament of a weak and quiet Spirit which is in the sight of God of great price 1 Pet. 3.3 4.

Respecting such as come in platted Hair or wears Gold or costly array by such as profess themselves to be Christians and say that the Scripture is their Rule when they walk quite contrary even to that excess amongst some people that the expences thereof might maintain six times as many poor people as I suppose is now in England If the Scripture was their Rule they would observe the same charge that Paul gave unto Timothy saying Charge them that are rich in this world that they be not high minded nor trust in uncertain Riches but in the living God who giveth us richly all things to enjoy That they do good that they be rich in good works ready to distribute willing to communicate 1 Tim. 6.17 18. for the poors relief Days all to be kept holy unto the Lord by ceasing from sin THe Apostle Paul saith Let no man condemn you in respect of meats and drink or of an Holy-day or of the New-Moons or of the Sabbath days which are but shadows of things to come but the Body is Christ Col. 2 16. Now those that are come to the Substance Christ Jesus the everlasting Sabbath of rest and are ceased from sin and keeps every day holy unto the Lord I say such are persecuted by those that rest still in the shadows or rather short of those forme● shadows who now observe days and times calling them Holy-days and instead of keeping a day holy unto the Lord too many keep them to themselves in sports games and other vanities For saith the Apostle Paul he that regardeth not the day to the Lord be doth not regard it Rom. 1.4.6 Yet do most now called Christians approve of one day in seven for publick Worship the first day of the Week being convenient for a day of rest also for labouring men and Cattle but the Sabbath day of the Jews was kept on the seventh day of the Week called now by some people Saturday A Character of a True Christian 1st HIS daily care is to keep his mind stayed upon God that he may be kept in perfect peace Isa 26.3 And through God's Grace he is taught to deny Ungodliness and worldly Lusts Tit. 2.11 12. and to be sober righteous patient humble meek upright merciful forbearing forgiving peaceable gentle self-denying constant faithful holy and also temperate in meat drink apparel c. which are the fruits of the Spirit or Grace of God in his Conscience James 2 chap. 2dly He is come out of the works of darkness and the fruits of the Flesh Rom. 1. 〈◊〉 4.31 and 5 ch Gal. 5.
