A81043	A briefe discourse touching a broken heart In which the nature, causes, and signes of it are solidly treated of; as also, its acceptablenesse to God; together with many other motives pressing us to labour after the procurement of it, and the means leading thereunto: Being the summe and substance of certain sermons preached by Mr. Daniel Carwardine, late minister of Eling in the county of Middlesex. And since his death put forth by S.R. a friend of his. Whereunto is annexed, a confession of faith by Mr. Samuel Rowles, late fellow of Trinity-Colledge in Cambridge. And now minister of Thistleworth in the county of Middlesex.	Carwardine, Daniel, b. 1600 or 1601.; Rowles, Samuel, fl. 1652.	1652 (1652)	Wing C720; ESTC R230173	37,786	142

have_v respect_n unto_o that_o part_n of_o scripture_n which_o be_v call_v the_o old_a testament_n my_o reason_n for_o it_o be_v these_o 1._o that_o exhortation_n of_o christ_n john_n 5.39_o search_v the_o scripture_n respect_v reasins_z why_o the_o old_a testament_n shall_v be_v still_o respect_v which_o be_v mean_v of_o the_o old_a testament_n for_o than_o they_o have_v no_o other_o for_o in_o they_o you_o think_v that_o be_v you_o yourselves_o be_v persuade_v as_o well_o as_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o you_o have_v eternal_a life_n that_o be_v the_o way_n to_o eternal_a life_n which_o be_v christ_n himself_o declare_v to_o you_o as_o appeareth_z to_o be_v the_o meaning_n by_o the_o follow_a word_n and_o they_o be_v they_o which_o testify_v of_o i_o who_o dare_v reject_v that_o word_n which_o give_v testimony_n to_o christ_n if_o you_o say_v that_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n do_v so_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o observation_n of_o it_o now_o will_v be_v a_o witness_v against_o christ_n as_o if_o he_o be_v not_o already_o come_v in_o the_o flesh_n but_o expect_v hereafter_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v abolish_v 2._o the_o identity_n or_o sameness_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n be_v another_o reason_n why_o i_o contend_v for_o have_v respect_n to_o it_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n do_v both_o treat_v of_o the_o same_o subject_n namely_o christ_n and_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n by_o faith_n in_o he_o though_o with_o some_o difference_n of_o circumstance_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v say_v that_o unto_o christ_n do_v all_o the_o prophet_n bear_v witness_v 3._o the_o frequent_a quotation_n which_o be_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n out_o ot_fw-mi the_o old_a as_o if_o christ_n himself_o and_o his_o apostle_n have_v but_o commented_a upon_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o will_v not_o urge_v thing_n upon_o the_o belief_n of_o those_o to_o who_o they_o preach_v without_o good_a warrant_n and_o testimony_n from_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n 4._o i_o be_o induce_v to_o have_v respect_n to_o the_o old_a testament_n from_o this_o undeniable_a principle_n namely_o that_o as_o it_o be_v dangerous_a to_o plant_v what_o god_n have_v not_o plant_v so_o much_o more_o dangerous_a to_o pluck_v up_o what_o god_n have_v plant_v till_o he_o begin_v to_o do_v it_o with_o his_o own_o right_a hand_n now_o we_o do_v estrang_v they_o to_o the_o world_n affect_v they_o to_o and_o enflame_v they_o for_o god_n 2._o touch_v the_o duty_n of_o man_n towards_o god_n god_n the_o duty_n of_o man_n towards_o god_n i_o thus_o believe_v viz._n that_o all_o sort_n of_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o love_n fear_v serve_v and_o trust_v in_o he_o with_o all_o their_o heart_n and_o soul_n by_o virtue_n of_o their_o be_v receive_v from_o he_o in_o conjunction_n with_o all_o other_o mercy_n as_o also_o for_o the_o continue_a preservation_n which_o be_v equivalent_a to_o a_o continual_a creation_n of_o their_o being_n and_o well-being_n but_o that_o there_o be_v a_o double_a tie_n upon_o believer_n to_o give_v up_o their_o whole_a self_n soul_n and_o body_n unto_o god_n for_o they_o be_v least_o of_o all_o their_o own_o be_v god_n not_o only_o by_o creation_n and_o forfeiture_n as_o all_o wicked_a man_n be_v but_o by_o redemption_n also_o he_o have_v buy_v they_o with_o a_o price_n the_o manner_n in_o which_o they_o be_v to_o serve_v god_n for_o the_o external_a part_n of_o it_o i_o conceive_v to_o be_v in_o the_o way_n of_o his_o ordinance_n viz_o by_o pray_v read_v be_v sing_v of_o psalm_n what_o it_o be_v hear_v meditate_v sing_v of_o psalm_n which_o be_v meditate_v and_o praise_v of_o god_n with_o the_o voice_n lift_v up_o for_o the_o express_v and_o provoke_v of_o great_a cheerfulness_n and_o afford_v further_o leisure_n by_o due_a pause_v and_o treatable_a delivery_n for_o divine_a consideration_n not_o to_o omit_v attendance_n upon_o god_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v right_o manner_n of_o perform_v duty_n what_o it_o be_v as_o for_o the_o manner_n of_o perform_v these_o duty_n in_o which_o the_o life_n and_o spirit_n of_o religion_n do_v consist_v they_o be_v to_o be_v do_v in_o faith_n from_o gospel_n motive_n to_o spiritual_a end_n by_o way_n of_o testify_v our_o thankfulness_n and_o the_o rule_n of_o they_o be_v to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n i_o may_v add_v that_o god_n be_v to_o be_v serve_v in_o the_o exercise_n of_o all_o grace_n as_o faith_n humility_n patience_n self-denial_n zeal_n man_n expectation_n of_o man_n from_o god_n of_o all_o man_n etc._n etc._n which_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n within_o we_o last_o i_o shall_v conclude_v with_o my_o persuasion_n touch_v what_o man_n be_v to_o expect_v from_o god_n 1._o in_o general_n 2._o in_o special_a in_o the_o general_a all_o man_n be_v to_o look_v for_o a_o summons_n by_o death_n to_o a_o particular_a appearance_n and_o account_n for_o the_o resurrection_n of_o their_o body_n after_o they_o have_v lie_v awhile_o in_o the_o grave_n for_o a_o citall_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n to_o appear_v before_o god_n at_o the_o day_n of_o the_o great_a assize_n to_o
