A03693	A caueat to preuent future iudgements: or, An admonition to all England more specially, to London and other places where the death of plague hath lately beene. By Robert Horn Minister of the Word.	Horne, Robert, 1565-1640.	1626 (1626)	STC 13820; ESTC S116563	23,180	39

of an enemy of a fierce countenance and of an implacable desire to our Land But God turne away the euill and to doe our parts to doe it let the last grieuously deuouring Pestilence in and about London and in other Cities and Townes abroad be the graue of our lusts Num. 11.34 and let a sound confession of sinnes and turning to God from sinne burie them else it will be but to a greater hardning that the Lord in his singular mercy at his last great assise of commune mortality reprieued vs pulling some then as a brand out of the fire Zacharie 3.2 A reproofe of those who bury Gods benefits so deep in Sepulchers of obliuion that Vse 2. like as it fared with the nine clensed Lepers Luke 17.17 there is no returning to giue thankes Many in some plunges of sicknesse as dissembling Saylors in a storme will fall to their deuotions who yet when the weather is ouer and a calme skie of health succeedes drowne all remembrance of the danger then in their prophane Cannes of Wine and Beere Then as vnthankfull Sea-men insteede of finding them in the Temple you may finde them in some Ale-house or Tauerne tossing their Cannes to the health of the diuell What is this but to receiue a blessing from God and to thanke the diuell for it but what man bestowing a benefit vpon vs and loosing his thankes will send another after it and can we imagin God will when men deale with him like those vnthankfull Israelites whose prayers and praise ended almost assoone as they had passed the red sea The Heathen did offer continually vnto their false Gods their cynamon and frankinsence and shall it be enough for vs or will it discharge vs for a day or some few daies and that in no true meaning to offer our tribute of praise to IEHOVAH the true God who is worthy and onely to be serued in righteousnesse and true holinesse all the daies of our life Luke 1.75 Shall wee thus requite the Lord as a people foolish and vnwise Deut. 52.6 vnthankfulnesse is a close Thiefe and will wee so cunningly deceiue God indeed our selues by robbing him of the praise that is due vnto his name Rather should we not extoll him with our lippes and with our liues praise him But who will not say that he thankes God for all To whom I say true thankfulnesse stands not in words but in obedience to Gods Word nor in saying but in giuing thankes nor in labour of lippes but in purity of life Then to come to an issue Thou sayest thou thankest God for all but art thou a repentant and amending sinner when God openeth his treasury dost thou open thy mouth and art thou liberall of his praises Psal 66.16.17 rather and contrarily when hee shoureth blessings vpon thee dost thou not drop thankes vnto him praising him slenderly when he giues to thee plentiously or is not thy thankes cold thanks and thanks onely in words not zealous from the heart nor faithfull with a single heart further dost thou thanke God with continuance not churlishly and with the thankes that hath soone done doest thou praise God with thy praise-worthy life Is thy tongue an instrument of the truth and of his honour Is his word thy counsellor are his best Seruants thy best Companions his Sabbath daies thy best daies his Communion Cup thy sweetest Cup his Seruice thy liberty and his yoke thy crowne and thy glory If this bee so thou maist bee numbered among the thankfull to God but if not so thou be still the same man thou wast a drunkard still a fornicator still still a swearer and prophaner of Gods Name and Sabbaths a cold hearer or no hearer of the Word and at Prayer and Sacraments carnall so often as thou sayest The Lord bee thanked thy mouth doth not blesse God but mock him for out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing praise and vnthankfulnesse Iames 3.10 So much for the circumstance of the time that of the Person followeth Iesus IF you aske who found this Man it was Iesus if you aske where it was in the Temple the place where the meanes of Gods publike worship were In speaking of the person I will speake of both together the person is Iesus in english the Sauiour the Temple was the house of publique prayer and sacrifices first built by Salomon but after destroyed by the King of Babel and re-built by Zerubbabel and Nehemiah Heere Christ reuealed himselfe Doct. who before was not knowne of the Man whom he had healed which teacheth that in Church-assemblies Christ is found and finds vs. In this way and to such as are in it he reueales himselfe in the arme of his Word Esay 53.1 and as they whom he healed corporally were in the way by which he passed Mat. 20.30.34 Mar. 6.55.56 so they must be found in the walke of Iesus the way of the meanes whom he will heale spiritually His ordinary walke is in the Temple of the New Testament that is in the publique assembly of Christians Thither therefore we must come if wee will know Christ in the arme of power to our Saluation Dauid knew the way by his experience and followed it with loue to the Temple Psal 42.1.4 and when Saul his Father in law tooke this way from him by banishment for some time how doth he desire his returne thither by more then an ordinary affection for hee fared as a woman set a longing after somewhat which because she cannot obtaine maketh her sick of desire Psal 84.2 There Gods euidences were kept and there God was in place by an extraordinary presence hence the Prophet was taken vp with a loue thereof euen to the fainting of his soule he had drunke deepe of Gods blessings in that earthly heauen which being denied him by a kinde of excommunication out of that Paradise of God first vnder Saul and then vnder Absolom his owne sonne how soule-sick was he for the daily sacrifices Moses when the people of God were kept with Pharaos strong hand as with a chaine in Egypt from seruing at some publique Altar asketh their deliuerance of the King lest the Lord should meete them with Pestilence or sword Exod. 5.3 and so vpon paine of death God must be publikely serued which if our bodies escape our soules shall not Thus it was in the Law and vnder Moses In the New Testament in like manner it was the practise of Christians to beate this way to the Lord Luke 4.16 and why did they so assemble and so many in houses which they called Synagogues but because they were vpon promise perswaded there to meet the Lord Christ who would be in the middes of them Mat. 18.20 At another time the whole Citie came together in a like assembly and to a like end Act. 13.43.44 and for this the assembly is called Gods Army Psal 110.3 because God takes the muster of his people there But further
