the broad way of sinners acting and perseuering in euill Nor sit in the infectious seat of the scornfull scoffing vertue deriding religion or by false doctrines and euill examples peruerting others For hee is such an one who is not carefull onely to auoyd euill But is enclined to good also His delight is seriously in the Law of the LORD And in his eternall Law that hee may know teach and fulfill it in thought word and deed doth he meditate vpon all occasions and at all times euen Day and night without intermission In this consisteth the meanes of his felicity And he shall be like a flourishing Tree which the Diuine Prouidence hath planted by the riuers of waters For as such a Tree being nourished by those streames hath the meanes that will enable it to bring forth his fruit in due season so the Blessed Man being planted by the fountaines of Grace flowing from the Holy Spirit of God bringeth forth in due time the fruits of faith and good workes to eternall life And in the greatest drought receiueth such refreshing that his leafe shall not fade A word of his shall not be in vaine though for the present it seeme to fall to the ground but it shall take effect And whatsoeuer he doth shall prosper at last both to his euerlasting glory and the instruction of others Now the vngodly because they walke after their owne Counsels are not so blessed neither doth any thing they take in hand so prosper But they are like the chaffe which the winde driueth away For as that is dry vnfruitfull and therfore carried about with euery puffe so they wanting the moysture of grace are therfore ouer-light and the spirit of the Deuill the winde of pride temptations and euill affections vnsetledly hurrie them to and fro without rest And by reason of this euen because these vanities carry them from God Therfore the vngodly shall not be able to stand as innocent before him in the Iudgement Whether it be that which he shall be pleased to inflict on them in this life or at the last Day Nor shall false worshippers or such Sinners who haue neglected this meanes of Blessednesse be admitted in the Congregation of the Righteous among those to whom God hauing separated them at his right hand shall hereafter say Come yee blessed of my Father c. And all this commeth thus to passe For that the LORD accepteth knoweth and alloweth the vndefiled way of the Righteous and the courses which they follow to attaine this blessednesse But contrariwise so abhorreth the way of the vngodly that the endeauors of those Reprobates shall perish with them in eternall damnation The Prayer Wherin the scope of this Psalme is considered and the blessednesse there mentioned implored of God OH thou eternall Son of the euer-liuing God Who art the way of life the meanes of all true Blessednesse and the onely Happy One who continuing in thy integrity hast both auoyded all manner of sinne and euery way fulfilled the whole Law and will of thy Father Thou oh Christ who art that tree of life which brought forth the fruit of our saluation in due season and without whom none can euer haue sure hope to become happy Grant oh sweet Redeemer that by the imputation of thy righteousnesse we who are fallen from our first Integrity may bee regenerated and made spotlesse againe in thy sight Sanctifie our polluted hearts that they may no more wander after the vaine counsels of vngodly affections Let them not haue power to allure vs into the way of sinfull actions Or if we doe through frailty at any time stray from Thee into the trodden path of Sinners which leadeth to destruction as wee must acknowledge we often doe Bring vs backe oh sweet Iesu and let vs not stand there vntill we lose the feeling of our sinnes and forget for euer to returne but let euery slip be attended with immediate repentance to whip vs vp againe left the iteration of sinne bring vs at length to the seat of Scorners and the deniall of Thee Keepe vs oh keepe vs from that low ebb of grace yea although we often run far into the way of sinners and many times carelesly stand still when thou callest vs from thence yet of all mercies wee entreat thee that we neuer bee suffered to stray so wide from the way of Blessednesse to sin against thy Holy Spirit Or to sit downe in that seat of pestilence which may infect our soules to eternall death And to enable vs the better to shun such dangers we beseech thee possesse our hearts with thy loue and a true delight in thy Word Let thy Law day and night openly and secretly in aduersity and prosperity bee our principall study and practise all the time of our life Fashion vs to thine own Image let thy right hand plant vs in thine owne Vineyard And that we may bee as fruitfullflourishing Trees bringing forth seasonable fruits to thy glory and the profit of thy Church Let the plentifull Riuers of thy Grace water vs vntill we grow vp and become fit to bee replanted in thy eternall Paradise Let our words as the leaues of a fruitfull tree be a continuall ornament vnto vs seruing also to heale the wounded consciences of our weake brethren And although for a time thou sufferest vs to appeare miserable and vnhappy yet let all things euen the afflictions which we haue had prosper vs in the way to euerlasting Blessednesse And forasmuch as those who delight not in thy seruice are in a miserable condition and nothing so happy as thy children whatsoeuer they seem to the world Grant ô Lord that wee being warned by thy displeasure against them may truly worship thee haue euer such a measure of faith and of thy grace as may keep vs setled in our consciences quiet from the fury of those affections that carry them headlong into endlesse vnrest And when thou shalt cast that chaffe into the fire purge vs thy seruants from corruption and lay vs vp as pure wheat in thy Heauenly Granard Heare vs oh deere Redeemer and when that dreadfull day commeth wherein thou shalt summon the whole world to Iudgement Let vs not be thrust amongst those guilty ones who shall fall and bee confounded with horrour at thy presence But make vs able to stand in that fearfull doome place vs at thy right hand in that righteous Congregation into which no vnrepentant sinners shall be admitted And when thou shalt turne them off with that terrible answer I know you not Let vs oh let vs bee receiued into thy mercy And seeing wee seeke for Blessednesse by that way and meanes onely which thou hast appoynted Acknowledge it as thine owne ordinance and though we are a while the scorne of the world make vs at length Inheritors of that vnspeakable felicity which wee shall enioy in Thee So both in our safeties and in the destruction of thine enemies also shall thy
