White 1620. A SVBPAENA The Information of Iustice ALmighty GOD thou Monarch of all might Who made the Sea the Earth the Heauens and all Whos 's Malestie whose power is infinite at whose command all powers do prostrare foll By whom all Monarchs of the world doe raigne who setteth vp and pulleth downe againe Instice complaines whereas our of thy Grace thou mad'st a Creature of the earthly frame And put him in a most delightfull place with all aboundance richly in the same Where nothing wanted to content desire which heart or soule for solace might require His Will and Wish were ioyned both in one his libertie was absolute in minde No feare of Death for sinning there was none he had restraint but onely in one kinde On paine of Death he was forbid to tast the Fruite in midst of Paradise was plast Beeing alone thy Maiestie thought good to make a Woman for his more delight Which should be of the selfe same slesh blood his consort and his comfort day and night But at her motion he forthwith rebelled and iustly was from Paradise expelled By disobedience he did thus begin to bring Man-kind in bondage to the Deuill He was the first originall of sinne which brought in death with all succeeding cu● That by his fall posteritie was stayned both Hell and Death by disobedience gained Now did he see his nakednesse and sinne and might detest the cause of such a fall He lost that state he was created in to bring in Death vpon himselfe and all He lost thy fauonr being so beloued to cast him off in Iustice thou wast moued But thou although by so rebellious deed he was to death and iust damnation brought Didst make a promise by the Womans seed death and damnation should be ouer wrought And what he lost by his committed crime both that and more should be regain'd in time In the meane space thou leftst him Natures law a Chancerie within his secret brest Which Conscience might keepe his flesh in awe in flying sinne and following what was best But weake or wilfull whether was the cause he flyeth out and breaketh Natures lawes A second Law thou didst by Moses giue more full and which did Natures law expresse But after neither of them he doth liue his sinfull actions euermore increase He doth complaine and saies they Lawes are such his weaknesse great their burthen is too much Fulnesse of time brings in the Law of Grace the promis'd Seed to Eua was foretold Should cleare the guilt and helpe all Adams race is now perform'd and what hath been in hold In debted thrals to death to Hel for sinne Iesus frees all and calls the reckoning in This Law of Grace which as himselfe hath said the burden's light and easie for to beare Who beares this yoake was neuer ouerlaid when loue beares all and not inforced feare But for this law as all-the rest he careth for loue or feare the breach of neither spareth For heauenly ioyes thou did'st man create Though Lucisor through pride from thence did fal Thou wouldst aduance him to that glorious state what Angels lost man should attains to all Where Angels fell they had no reparation their fall was wilfull and without temptation But man was tempted by a potent foe who most enuying that an earthly wight Should by his Maker be aduanced so sought by all meanes with hate of malice might To wrest him our of fauour and of grace to put him from that euerlasting place Man that did fal through Adams strong temptatio● him to redeeme thou sent'st thy only Sonne Resoring him to fauour and saluation What Adam lost the Womans seede hath wonne Who fell not tempted is adiud'gd to Hell Man is redeem'd who by temptation fell Eternall God what should thy Mercie mooue for to forbeare this deadly sinner so He yeelds no shew of thankes for all thy loue no benefits make him his sinne forgoe What thou dost hate that wicked life he follows as Hogs in dirt in silthy wayes he wallowes Thy Lawes can not his sinfull life restraine his care is for thy benefits but small His life declares thy threats he holds but vaine his workes doe shew he loues thee not at all Long suffering Mercie makes him so to trust that he forgets that thou art also Iust Like as the Child cares not for Fathers threats words are but wind he followes on his play This creature so himselfe and thee forgets till thou thy Rodde of Iustice on him lay In all his pleasures from thee he doth flie he seekes thee not but when he feares to die What is that seeking forced by constraint all youthfull dayes to run it out in pleasure And when that Death or sicknes makes him faint then he seeks homeward thou must wait his leasure Not like to Abel offering thee the best but like to Cain the worst of all the rest His prime of Youth and all his golden yeares his wits and wealth all giuen to the Deuill When fe●ble age drawen on with hoary Hayres that now 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to practise former euill When sinne 〈◊〉 him that he can sinne no more hee seekes to thee who seru'd thy foe before Caust thou in Iustice such presumption like the benefite thou giu'st him out of Grace To draw him home before thy hand would strike to turne all to a cleane contrary case Gods Mercy passeth all his Workes he sayeth therefore presuming he his sinne delayeth Thy Mercy is to such as doe repent but not to sinners which remaine in sinne Who was a sinner if he haue intent to change his life he may thy Mercy winne But who presuming sinneth in that kind by Iustice he may neuer Mercy find Hee runneth on such arguments are rise with him who takes in sinne so great delight They may giue colour to a sinfull life presuming thou in Iustice wilt not smite A damned life doth euermore inuent such reasons which may further his intent This creature cares not that thy Sonne was slaine the onely cause such paines he did abide To pay his debts and bring him home againe wounded in hands in heart head feet and side Though for his
