the sheepheards did not feed my flocke but they did feede themselues Gods flocke must be fedde in due season But rather let them whom the Lorde hath set ouer his familie procure to giue them meate in due season a measure of Wheate that is to say pure and true doctrine that when the Lord commeth they may deserue to haue these comfortable wordes Math. 25.21 My good and faithfull seruaunt because thou hast beene faithfull ouer a fewe I shall sette thee ouer manie enter into the ioy of the Lord. The eleuenth abuse A people without discipline Capit. 11. People without obedience runne hedlong to perdition COmming nowe to the eleuenth blemish in this life it is comprehended in these wordes a people without discipline who when they doo not practise obedience in their liuing to good and godly doctrine doe choke themselues with the common snare of perdition For they doe not escape the wrath of God except they earnestly folow those things which they are taught And therefore the Psalmist saith to the people which will not receiue discipline Psalm 2.12 Apprehende and receiue dyscipline least God be stirred to anger What discipline is Discipline is a manner of teaching which leadeth men to the amendement of euill and naughtie manners it is also a keeping and following of the rules and lessons of our Elders wherof S. Paule speaketh saying Abide and continue in discipline God offereth himselfe to you as to his children But if yee be out of discipline whereof ye are made already partakers then are ye aduouterers and not his children They therefore which are gone from him and be out of discipline doo receiue no inheritaunce of the Kingdom of heauen but if children do receiue and beare the correction of their fathers discipline let them not despayre or doubt but they shall receiue in time to come the inheritaunce of the Father Of this discipline Esay speaketh saying Esay 1.16.17 Cease from doing wickedly learn to do well And the like sentence is found in the Psalmist who saith Psalm 36.10 Decline frō euill and doe good Wherfore that man is very miserable and vnhappie which throweth from him discipline for hée is bolder then the Souldiers which crucified Christ and did cut out his garment for he dooth cut the discipline of Christes Church And likewise as the coate dooth couer all the bodie sauing the heade euen so is the whole Church clad and defended with discipline sauing onelie Christ who is the head of the Church And as that coat was whole without any seame so is this discipline giuen to the Church whole and sound Example of discipline by Christes own words Of this discipline the Lord when hee should ascende vppe to his Father after he was risen from death spake to his disciples saying Luke 24.49 Abide ye heere still in the Cittie of Ierusalem till ye be clad from aboue with power The discipline of the Church is the coate of Christ Then the discipline of the Church is the coate of Christ and hée which is not within this discipline is out of the bodie of Christ Let vs not therefore cut that coate but let vs cast lots who shal haue it that is to say let vs breake nothing of the cōmaundements of God but euerie man whereunto he is called therein let him constantlie abide with the Lord. The tvvelfth abuse A people without Law Cap. 12. THe last of this Catalogue of abuses is a people without Lawe who while they despise the sayings of God and the ordinaunces of his Lawes doe runne thorow diuers waies of errours into the snare of transgression and breaking of the Lawes As concerning those waies of errour the Prophet vnder the person of a transgressor doth lament and bewaile mankind on this wise Esay 54.13 We haue erred sayth he and gone astray like sheepe euerie one after his owne way Of these waies it is spoken in the Booke of wisedome by the mouth of Salomon saying Prou. 14.1 Many waies appeare good and straite vnto men but the last ende of their waies bringeth them to death And truelie there are many waies of perdition when men doo not regard the Kinges high way which is right straight out turning neither on the right hande nor on the left the which way our Lord Iesu Christ who is the end of the Lawe to the iustification of all that doo beleeue plainlie sheweth vs saying Math. 11.29 I am the way the trueth and the life no man commeth vnto the Father but by mee To which way hee calleth all men without respect saying Come vnto me al ye that labour and are heauie laden and I will refresh you For there is no exception of persons before GOD with whom there is neither Iewe nor Greeke man nor woman bonde nor free but Christ is all thinges in all and all are one in Christ Iesu The people without Law are without Christ For so much as Christ is the end of the Lawe those which are without the Lawe are without Christ then the people that be without the Lawe are likewise without Christ It is a great abuse that in the time of the Gospell any people should be with out the Lawe for so much as the Apostles were commaunded to preach to all Nations and the thunder-clappes of the Gospell were heard ouer all the parts of the earth and the Gentles which sought not after righteousnes haue receiued it And finallie considering that they which were farre off were made nigh in the bloode of Christ and they which sometime were not a people are nowe made the people of GOD in Christ beeing nowe a glad time and the day of saluation the time of comfort in the sight of the Highest And sith that euery Nation hath a witnesse of the resurrection yea sith the Lorde himselfe beareth witnesse therevnto saying Behold I am with you alway to the end of the world Therefore let not vs be without Christ in this transitorie life least Christ be without vs in the world to come FINIS
