Whereas the Prop●●● David saith concerning Moses and Aar●● that they were obedient to the word of Go● and in the self-same place our allowed trans●●tion saith they were not obedient what co●●tradiction is there if he understanding M●●ses and Aaron do say they were not disobe●●●ent we applying our speech to Pharaoh a●● the Egyptians do say of them they were n●● obedient Or which the matter itself w●● easily enough likewise suffer if the Egypti●ans being meant by both it be said th●● they in regard of their offer to let g 〈…〉 the people when they saw the fearful darkness disobeyed not the word of the Lord and yet that they did not obey his word i● as much as the Sheep and the Cattel at the self-same time they withheld ib. xiii Io. 20. 31. The end of all scripture is the same which St. John proposeth in the ●riting of that most divine Gospel namely ●ith and through faith salvation Yea all ●cripture is to this effect in it self available ●s they which wrote it were perswaded ●nless we suppose that the Evangelist or o●hers in speaking of their own intent to in●truct and to save by writing had a secret conceit which they never opened unto any conceit that no man in the World should ●ver be that way the better for any sentence by them written till such time as the same might chance to be preached upon or al●edged at the least in a Sermon S. 22. xiv 1 Cor. 1. 21. That which must save believers is the knowledge of the Cross of Christ the only subject of all our preaching and in the Gentiles eyes what doth this seem as yet but folly It pleaseth God by the foolishness of preaching to save These words declare how admirable force those mysteries have which the World doth deride as follies they shew that the foolishness of the Cross of Christ is the Wisdom of true believers they concern the object of our Faith the matter preached of and believed in by Christian men This we know that the Grecians or Gentiles did account foolishness but that they ever did think it a fond or unlikely way to seek mens Salvation by Sermons we have not heard ib. xv 1. Thes. 5. 17. When as every other dut● besides is but to shew it self as time and opportunity require for prayer all tim●s ar● convenient when we are not able to do any other thing for mens behoof when through maliciousness or unkindness they vouch safe not to accept any other good at our hands prayer is that which we always have in our power to bestow and they never in theirs to refuse S. 23. xvi Mat. 21. 13. The place of assembly although it serve for other uses as well as pra●er yet seeing that our Lord himself hath to this as to the chiefest of all other plainly sanctified his own Temple by entituling it the house of prayer what preheminence of dignity soever hath been either by the ordinance or through the special favour and providence of God annexed unto his Sanctuary the principal cause thereof must needs be in regard of Common Prayer S. 23. xvi 1 Cor. 11. 10. If as the gravest of the ancient Fathers teach that the house of prayer is a Court beautified with the presence of celestial powers that there we stand we pray we sound forth hymnes unto God having his Angels intermingled as our associates and that with reference hereunto the Apostle doth require so great care to be had of decency for the Angels sake how can we come to the house of prayer and not be moved with the very glory of the place it self so to frame our affections praying as doth best beseem them whose suits the Almighty doth there sit to hear and his Angels attend to further When this was engrafted in the mind of men there needed no penal statutes to draw them unto publick prayer the warning sound was no sooner heard but the Churches were presently filled the pavements covered with bodies prostrate and washt with their tears of devout joy xvii Lu. 11. 1. That our Saviour did but set men a bare example how to contrive or devise prayers of their own and no way bind them to use this is no doubt an errour Iohn the Baptists disciples which had been always brought up in the bosom of Gods Church from the time of their first infancy till they came to the school of Iohn were not so bruitish that they could be ignorant how to call upon the name of God but of their master they had received a form of prayer amongst themselves which form none did use saving his disciples so that by it as by a mark of special difference they were known from others And of this the Apostles having taken notice they request that as Iohn had taught his so Christ would likewise teach them to pray S. 35. xviii Eph. 5 9. The greatest part of our daily service consisteth according to the blessed Apostles own precise rule in much variety of Psalms and Hymns for no other purpose but only that out of so plentiful a treasure t●ere might be for every mans heart to chuse out his own sacrifice and to offer unto God by particular secret instinct what fitteth best the often occasions which any several either party or congregation may seem to have S. 43. xix Ps. 39. 5. In reference to other creatures of this inferior world mans worth and excellency is admired compared with God the truest inscription wherewith we can circle so base a coyn is that of David Vniversa vanitas est omnis homo whosoever hath the name of a mortal man there is in him whatsoever the name of vanity doth comprehend S. 47. xx 1 Tim 2. 3. By intreating for mercy towards all we discharge that duty which the Apostle himself doth impose on the Church of Christ as a commendable office a sacrifice acceptable in Gods sight a service according to his heart whose desire is to have all men saved a Work most suitable with his purpose who gave himself to be the price of Redemption for all and a forcible mean to procure the conversion of all such as are not yet acquainted with the Mysteries of that Truth which must save their souls S. 49. xxi 1 Cor. 13. 7. Concerning the state of all men with whom we live the safest axioms for Charity to rest it self upon are these He which believeth already is and He which believeth not as yet may be the Child of God It becometh not us during life altogether to condemn any man seeing that for any thing we know there is hope of every mans Forgiveness the possibility of whose Repentance is not yet cut off by Death And therefore Charity which hopeth all things prayeth also for all men ib. xxii Rom. 9. 3. Our prayers for all mens good
