do nothing without sin 69. He can do nothing against his will yet he doth what he would not 70. He wavers and doubts and yet obtains he is often tossed and shaken and yet like Mount Zion 71. He is a Serpent and a Dove a Lamb and a Lion a Reed and a Cedar 72. He is sometimes so troubled that he thinks nothing is true in Religion and yet if he did think so he could not be at all troubled 73. He thinks sometimes God hath no mercy for him and yet resolves to die in the pursuit of it 74. He believes like Abraham in hope and against hope though he can never answer Gods Logick yet with the woman of Canaan he hopes to prevail with the rhetorick of importunity 75. He wrestles with God and prevailes and though yielding himself unworthy the least blessing he enjoyes already yet Jacob-like will not let God go without a new blessing 76. He sometimes thinks himself to have no grace at all and yet how poor and afflicted soever he be besides he would not change conditions with the most prosperous upon earth that is a manifest worldling 77. He thinks sometimes the Ordinances of God do him no good at all and yet he would rather part with his life than be deprived of them 78. He was born dead and yet so as it had been murther to have taken his life away 79. When life was first put into him is commonly unknown and with some not untill they had learned to speak and were even grown up to the stature of a man and with others not till they were ready to drop into their graves for age 80. After he begins to live is ever dying and though he have an eternal life begun in him yet he makes account he hath a death to pass through 81. He counts self-murder a most hainous sin yet he is continually busied in crucifying his flesh and putting to death his earthly members 82. He believes that his soul and body shall be as full of glory as theirs that have more and not more full than theirs that have less 83. He lives invisibly to those that see him and those that know him best do but guesse at him yet they somitimes see further into him and judge more truly of him than himself doth 84. The world did sometimes count him a Saint when God counted him an hypocrite and after when the world branded him for an hypocrite God owned him for a Saint 85. In fine his death makes not an end of him his soul which was created for his body and is not to be perfected without his body is more happy when it is separated from it then it was all the while it was united to it and his body though torn in pieces burnt to ashes ground to pouder turned into rottenness shall be no loser His Advocate his Surety shall be his Judge his mortal part shall become immortal and what was sown in corruption shall be raised in incorruption and glory and his spiritual part though it had a beginning shall have no end and himself a finite creature shall be possessed of an infinite happiness Amen A Character of visible Godliness A Godly man is one who being not ignorant of the wayes and Doctrine of God lives not only without scandal but approves and practises the general Duties of Christianity and those that are special to his condition More particularly A godly man is one that loves the word in the power of it and at least despises it not in the plainness of it that comes to the World not to censure and cavil but to be taught and ruled that professes not to allow himself in any known sin but resolves and practises self-denyal so far as it is made plain to him that Christ denies his desires He is one that loves those that seem religious and conscionable untill they prove scandalous and be manifestly discovered for Hypocrites and then esteems never the worse of the Profession it self and of those others whom he knows no harm by He is unwilling to believe all of such and though he see them faulty doth not streight condemn them to be altogether void of sincerity Mean time he is so far from rejoycing at their miscarriages that even particular scandals are amongst his greatest griefs But especially he is afraid to give any ill example himself as knowing himself made and redeemed to no other end than that he should live to Gods glory Therefore also he professes and resolves to do what good he can in his place and particularly to have his family know and fear God and believe in Christ He is one that accounts sin worse than shame or loss or any other misery and resolves to suffer rather than offend He esteems Godliness the greatest gain and contentment a necessary piece of godliness and that honour pleasure wealth to be sufficient to contentment which casts upon him while he first seeks his Kingdom and Righteousness And lastly who hath so much wisdome as to take more thought how to redeem time than to pass it away having somewhat setledly to do besides following his pleasures which he uses as his recreation and makes not his business Generall Considerations to excite to Watchfulness and to shake of spiritual drousiness 1. THe glorious and dreadfull Majesty of God with whom at all times we have to do who is a consuming fire and therefore his service and obedience to him is not to be slighted but to be performed with watchfulness reverence and godly fear 2. Our sins in number exceeding the hairs of our heads in weight the measure of the sand The vileness of sin generally and the unreasonable odiousness of ones own sins in many respects worse than any others we know 3. The fearful curses and punishments due to sin to our sins on earth and torments inconceivable and eternal in hell 4. The abominableness of sin demonstrated specially in that nothing could expiate it but the bloud and death of Christ not only man but God 5. The infinite love of God and Christ to sinful mankind in those sufferings of Christ for sin 6. The certainty of damnation still to those that carelesly despise or willfully abuse the grace of Christ to carnall security or willing customary sin 7. The manifest expressions of Scripture that multitudes even of those that live within the visible Church shall yet go to Hell 8. The Devils unwearied malice violence cunning going up and down like a roaring Lion seeking whom he may devour unto whom they that watch not must needs become a prey 9. The prodigious and desperate corruption that is in every ones heart ready to betray us even to the basest lust and most horrid wickedness 10. The fearfull frights of Conscience that God may awaken us withall out of our drowsie dreams 11. The sharp and stinging scourges even in worldly respects wherewith God may rouse us out of our carnal security and must and will with one or other if
