O. Upon the Death of Mr. William Bridg a faithful and painful Labourer in the Lords Vineyard EVen as a Lamp that spendeth liberally It 's Oyle that we may do our work thereby Or as a sparkling Star which shineth bright Thereby directing Travellers by night Or as the Sun that by his cheerful rayes Disperseth darkness and his beams displayes On the cold Earth whereby he makes it spring With fruitful crops which joyfulness doth bring So Bridg dispers'd his fruitful beams whilst here But now he 's fixed in a higher Sphere You that have skill sorrow and joy to blend Somewhat of both upon this Prophet spend Grieve for your loss and yet rejoyce in this He 's gone from trouble to a place of bliss Mourn that you did no more improve his pains And yet rejoyce that he now reaps the gains Weep that so bright a Lamp no longer shin'd Yet joy in those choice works he left behind Mourn that such Lights do set and when ye 'ave done Joy that he 's there where needs not Moon nor Sun Which never shall be stained with a night But hath eternal Glory for its Light And let those darkned intervalls you see Increase your longing in that place to be For here are changes Prophets too must dye Yet let me that expression mollisie If the Philosopher of old could say All of me shall not dye then sure we may Transcendently affirm of Bridg that he Yet lives and shall live to Eternity He lives in Heaven on Earth he doth the same There in his Soul Here in his Works and Name And though his Body now be turn'd to Dust Yet at the Resurrection of the just Each Atom shall be gathered so to raise A glorious fabrick to his Masters praise And Soul and Body jointly then shall sing Grave where 's thy Conquest Death where is thy sting And then in Triumph shall ascend on high Having obtain'd through Christ the Victory SERMON I. MATTH 20.15 16. Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with my own Is thine eye evil because I am good So the last shall be first and the first last for many be Called but few Chosen I DO intend God willing to shew you the freeness of the Grace of God in reference to mens Employments and Sufferings and therefore have made choice of this Scripture wherein you have the Parable of certain Labourers in the Vineyard the Parable is propounded and applyed propounded from vers 1. to vers 16. For the Kingdom of Heaven is like unto a man that is an Householder which went out early in the morning to hire Labourers into his Vineyard and when he had agreed with the Labourers for a penny a day he sent them into his Vineyard and he went out about the third hour and saw others standing in the Market-place and he said unto them go ye also into the Vineyard and whatsoever is right I will give you and they went their way and again he went about the sixth hour and the ninth hour and did likewise and about the eleventh hour he went out and saw others idle and he said unto them Why stand you here all the day idle And they said unto him because no man hath hired us he said unto them go you also into the Vineyard and whatsoever is right that shall you receive So when Even was come the Lord said unto his Steward of the Vineyard call the Labourers and give them their hire beginning from the last even to the first and when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour they received every man a penny but when the first came they supposed that they should have received more and they likewise received every man a penny and when they had received it they murmured against the good man of the house saying these last have wrought but one hour and thou hast made them equal to us that have born the burthen and heat of the day But he answered one of them and said friend I do thee no wrong didst thou not agree with me for a penny take that thine is and go thy way I will give unto this last even as unto the first Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with my own Is thy eye evil because I am good so the last shall be first and the first last because many are called but few chosen And thus far the Parable goes to shew that all is of free Grace both for service and for suffering Now if you mind the first
