vnruly member and no man can tame it Iames 3. 8. It is the onely grace and gift of God to tame it which whoso hath not sinning as before in word hee is a perfect man and able also to bridle all the bodie Iames 3. 2. SONNE SIr I remember wel that auncient rule in religion n An ancient rule in Religion viz. that the weakning woūding and death of any one sin is the death in time of euery other sin that the weakening wounding death of any one sin is the weakning wounding death in time of euery other sin and S. Iohn sayth that All that is borne of God ouercommeth the world and that this great victory is attained by faith 1. Ioh. 5. 4. 5. Lord therefore I pray thee confirme and increase my faith Luke 17. 5. O my good God giue vnto me the shield of faith wherwithall I may quench all the fiery darts of the diuell Eph. 6. 16 FATHER YOu say well concerning that rule and it doth me good at my heart that you collect the same in sense from scripture and conclude thereupon so well with earnest prayer I will therefore in conclusion of this counsell encourage you by some examples of such as by chastising and correcting themselues haue ouercome most strong corruptions o Examples of such as by chastising and iudgeing themselues haue by denying themselues ouercome themselues that is the strongest corruptions of their flesh or their strongest naturall occasional corruptions Hemingius on the 15. Psalm sheweth that he being at Witenberge there came thither to hostage a man exiled and banished for the profession of the Gospell this man when he did oft times sweare through an euill custome and did at length consider with himselfe how hée might amend this euil custome he came to D. Luther and requested his counsel how hee might by some meanes correct that custome and abuse of swearing To whom D. p Luthers counsell Luther giues counsell saying Command sayth he thy wife thy children and the rest of thy family vnder a great penalty to admonish thée of thy fault as oft as they heare thee sweare and that straiteway thereupon they require of thee a great forfeiture of excellent gold The honest Guest obserueth and followeth Luthers counsell he sware as before he was wont hee is thereupon admonished and payeth for euery oath he sweareth much and very good gold but after a while vpon much payment hee happily at length left this custome of swearing so that afterwards he was neuer heard to sweare at all Other such like examples Heminge in Latine sheweth vpon the foresayd Psalme q Chrysostomes counsell Chrysostome also giueth counsell in like case to appoint a penalty of refrayning some dinner or some supper And another learned Authour counselleth such Householders as know their owne pronenesse to fall oft in the same offence whatsoeuer open sin it be to determine with themselues yea to resolue and vowe that as oft as they fal againe into the same offence to make open confession to the family of the first offence if the fault be knowne to the family for the second fault to vse abstinence and to eate but onely bread and to drinke water onely for one or two meales For the third fault to refraine all ordinary food for one or two meales and to giue it to the needy and hungrie For the fourth fault to forfeit and to giue away much money to many poore and r The coūsell of ancient and of very excellent authors needy men Such examples are seldome shewed nor found in families ſ Three examples experienced by the Authour of this Dialogue yet such exāples are very seldome to be seene howbeit without this care of correcting iudgeing our selues wee cannot preuent temporall iudgements 1. Cor. 11. 31. Neither is our repentance renued effectually Herehence it is that many of Gods deare Children not vsing conscionably and diligently as well these as other ordinances of God are so often ouercome by some grieuous corruptions as were the Disciples and the Corinthians Matthew 18. 1 c. Luke 22. 23. 1. Cor. 3. 1. c. Howbeit I haue seene onely three such examples which I will prescribe for patternes The first was a verie religious man who in the hearing of all his family confessed his fault saying I haue forgotten one maine and most principle doctrine this Sabboth day deliuered which I intended to haue repeated confirmed and applied to mine owne vse and all yours and therefore I am verily greeued at my owne forgetfulnesse I will assuredly thus and thus chastise iudge and correct my owne fault Againe I haue seene a second example hereof shewed by an honest hearted householder who vpon some open shewe of discord betwixt his wife and him before the family was presently humbled for it confessed it c. And compared himselfe his wife to the couple peeces of the house which if they fall asunder they cause other timber of the house to shrinke and to go out of order so we sayth he hauing fallen at variance and openly reproued one another which reproofe should haue beene in priuate haue caused all the family to go out of order and to imitate as they are apt to do our euil example and thereupon will the lesse reuerence our counsels our persons or reproofes hereafter we will therefore say they confesse our faults chastise our selues c. that thereby we may remoue these stumbling blocks from our familie and learne to wax wiser hereafter A third example an other time I saw t Third example seene when the Heads and Rulers of a Religious family had heard a Sermon on the Sabboth and had receiued a good monition from the Minister their Preacher namely that Masters and Mistresses must not bée like Nabal froward and angrie for anger resteth in the bosome of fooles Ecclesiastes 7. 11. and great frowardnesse is a note of great wickednesse and foolishnes as Nabals example sheweth 1. Sam. 25. 17. Afterwards they repeated the principall doctrines which before were taught them in the Church the which being applyed to the humbling of their owne hearts before in hearing and then more particularly in repeating they confessed themselues before al the family to haue beene in time past very foolish for by frowardnes and continuall correcting chiding threatning which the Apostle wils Masters to put away Ephes 6. 9. they saw they had exasperated and hardned the hearts of their sons and seruants made them more froward and prouoked them to wrath Ephes 6. 4. and caused seruants to counterfait that which they should not Titus 2. 9. for as they had heard from the Preachers mouth that day such as are alwaies chiding threatning or correcting are as little feared as the thunder would bee feared if it did dayly thunder u The fruit of this last example This their foresayd confession wrought in them such a change a renued conuersion that they vowed as
