have room to receive it and make that all Nations shall call you blessed To the like purpose we read in Psal 81.13 14. O that my People had hearkened unto me and Israel had walked in my Ways I should soon have subdued their Enemies and turned my Hand against their Adversaries But they would not try me and trust me GOD condescends to speak such Language unto All of us Prove me saith he by obeying my Voice and hearkening to my Word Enter into my Service see whether I am a hard Master Take my Yoke upon you see whether it be not easy and my Burden light Try whether my Service be not better than that of Sin and the World See whether any can do for you that which I can and will do Come unto me says Christ if you are weary and heavy laden and see whether I cannot give you Rest Do but make a Trial whether the Ways of Wisdom be not Pleasantness and her Paths Peace Condemn not Religion for a melancholy tedious burdensome thing before you have found it so upon Trial. See whether seeking the Kingdom of God and the Righteousness thereof in the first place be not the way to have all other things added in the best Proportion Make a Trial at least for a time whether to walk uprightly and keep a Conscience void of Offence towards God and Man be not the only way to walk surely in the most difficult Times and turn of Affairs publick or private PROVE me now says God whether he that fears God and works Righteousness shall not be Accepted See whether I am a barren Wilderness or a Land of Drought whether ever you shall have reason to Repent your turning from Sin and Vanity to walk in my Way whether ever any shall be Losers by their Fidelity to me O THAT Magistrates Ministers Gentlemen Students Merchants Tradesmen Parents Children Heads of Families and Servants younger elder Persons under what Denomination soever they may be ranked would All in their several places instead of Tempting Christ make a Trial of his Faithfulness to his Promises unto such as are diligent and faithful to the performance of the Duty O that Magistrates would but try whether Fidelity to God and Zeal for his Glory and Concern for his Honour and Care that his Laws be observed and the Violation of them punished whether this be not the best way to their own Safety Honour and Establishment and the only Exaltation and Security of the People O that Ministers would but try whether hearty Love to God and Christ and the Souls of Men and fervent Desires and Endeavours to approve our selves to the All-seeing God in seeking to promote the Faith and Holiness and Joy of Christians and their Union Love and Concord one with another be not the best way for our Acceptance and Success O that Merchants and Tradesmen would but try by constant Dependance upon God and daily Prayer in their Closets and Families and strict Justice and Righteousness in their Dealings and by chusing and encouraging such Servants as fear the Lord and by keeping up the Worship and Authority of God in their Houses whether this be not the best way to banish the Curse of God from their Habitation and to obtain that Blessing of Heaven upon their Diligence in their Callings which will make Rich without the Addition of Sorrow O that Parents would try whether by dedicating their Children to God betimes and educating them diligently in the Fear and Nurture of the Lord and disgracing Sin to them telling them the Evil and the Danger of it and antidoting them against Temptation saving them from Pride and Idleness and evil Company making Religion pleasant to them and setting an holy Example before them c. whether this be not the best and only way to have Comfort in them O that we who are the Children of Religious Holy Parents would but try whether there will not be a double Blessing from Heaven upon us if we own our Fathers God and our Mothers God If we keep within the Bond of his Covenant and remember his Commandments to do them if we cut not off the Entail of Covenant-Blessings with our own Hands if we obey the God of our Fathers with a perfect and upright Heart Let us prove him and try whether he will not fulfil his Promise That the Mercy of the Lord shall be from everlasting to everlasting to them that fear him and his Righteousness or Faithfulness to the Childrens Children IN SHORT let us All resolve to Tempt God and Christ no more as we have done but to prove him by our holy Obedience And we shall find by Experience that committing our Way to God in well-doing is the wisest and easiest and sweetest Life through all the Changes of this present World That by casting our Bread upon the Waters and giving to the Poor we do but lend unto the Lord and he will surely repay it That to sanctify the Lord's-Day is the proper Method to have the Blessing of Heaven all the Week That to live the Life of the Righteous and to begin to remember and serve him in our Youth is the only proper Method for a long Life and a good old Age or a peaceful Death a Comfortable Account and a Blessed Eternity FINIS These following Books are published by Mr. John Shower and sold by John Lawrence at the Angel in the Poultrey SOme Account of the Holy Life and Death of Mr. Henry Gearing late Citizen of London Who departed this Life January the 4th 169¾ Aged 61.
