Dauid had smitten Goliah to the ground hee presently runne vpon him drew out his sword and beheaded him likewise Christ hauing subdued vnto vs our sinne by his vertue let vs doe our part fall vpon it take it by the throate stifle and choake it neuer leaue it till wee haue driuen out the breath of sinne It was the fault of the Israelites that God hauing put them in possession of a good land and destroyed many of the inhabitants daunting the rest they by their negligence and cowardise did not prosecute these good beginnings but suffering the Cananites to liue amongst them they proued thornes in their sides and prickes in their eyes euen so it will come passe if you foreslow the continuall mortifying of sinne which Christ hath already conquered in you and disarmed if ye make way and giue place to remayning lusts and euill affections they will proue tedious and perillous therefore let not sinne raigne Finally this must encourage vs to flye the seruice of sinne and mightily to striue against it because our bodyes being mortall that is subiect to mortalitie and death the strife against sinne will quickly be at an end And surely this may encourage any good Christian to resist sinne seriously to consider that we are mortall here where sinne doth assault vs and that there wee shall be immortall where wee shall be free from sinne as wee would not be mortall then when sinne shall not hurt vs so we would not be immortall here where we are subiect to sinne Let this meditation then helpe vs against the lusts of sinne that wee are not like to wrestle long with it for our yeares may lack moneths our moneths may lacke weekes our weekes may lacke dayes our dayes may lacke houres our houres may lacke minutes Doe wee not know by Scripture that death stealeth vpon vs as trauaile vpon a woman or as a theefe in the night which giueth no warning and experience sheweth the truth of this plentifully Hee in the Gospell that boasted of store for many yeares was threatned to haue his soule taken from him that night two in London dyed sodainely as they walked in the streets also one found dead in the fields at Allington who went well out of his house at Douer likewise one dyed in his sleep who went well to bed in the citie of Canterbury one well and abroad at eight of the clock and dead by ten● and euen in this Church one fell downe dead betweene the great gate and the porch the Kings court is not free from such examples of suddaine death Now seeing that that which falleth to any one may fall to euery one it is wisedome for all men to make a short account and so much the more to labour mortification of sinne by how much this mortalitie is certaine and the time vncertaine and yet such dulnesse is in vs that wee are so far from thinking of the sodainnesse of our death and shortnes of life as that wee seldome remember that wee shall dye wherein our forgetfulnesse is more blame worthy because euery thing serueth to put vs in mind that our bodyes which we beare about vs are mortall for euen on our table wee haue monuments of death for we eate not the creatures till they be dead our garments are eyther the skins or excrements of dead beasts we often follow the dead corps to the graue and wee often walke ouer their bodyes and in this place especially men that vse to walke here shall do well to remember that they tread vpon the dead and others shortly must tread vpon them Moreouer wee in this Citie haue almost euery day death roung in our eares the deadly knell telling vs that dust we are and to dust we must goe Lastly our nightly sleepe being to vs a shadow and resemblance of death yet for all this men liue as if they were immortall drowned in worldly pleasures and carnall delights because they doe not seriously remember their last end which if it were carefully thought vpon it would mightely preuaile to keepe men from doing amisse causing them to imitate that good seruant in the Gospell who knowing his maister would come yet not knowing at what houre in the night hee girded his loynes and kept his lampe burning that hee might be found ready when his maister should come wherof we haue a good example in this Gentlewoman our sister to whom as it pleased God in the weaknesse of body to giue her a remembrance of her mortalitie and end before it came so shee receiued grace to make true vse for dying to sinne and liuing to God shee spent her time during her sicknesse as I haue beene credibly certified in reading praier and good meditations and at her end as my selfe was a witnesse she applyed the sentences and promises of Scripture to her owne soules comfort praying with the Church Lord Iesus come quickly come quickly And with Dauid professing that as the Hart panted after the riuers of water so her soule longed after God and laying hold on Christs promises that shee should be satisfied because shee mourned for her sinnes assuring her heart according to that that was pronounced to Paul that howsoeuer she was weake yet the grace of Christ should be sufficient for her and that by the power of his might shee should ouercome and finde death to be her aduantage Thus continuing in holy motions and good speeches till her soule remouing from her earthly tabernacle was receiued into the heauenly inheritance as we may trust there to raigne with Christ for euer Thus farre of the exhortation not to suffer sinne to raigne the first part of our Text. That yee should obey it in the lusts thereof THese words contain the second part of our Text which is the explication declaring to vs how this may be brought to passe namely by withdrawing obedience from the lusts thereof Where first of all there be two words to be interpreted Lusts and Obedience Lust of sinne Lust is that stirring of our naturall corruption egging and soliciting vs against the will and Law of God or the first motion of our sinfull corrupt nature for it is here distinguished from sinne to shew that here lust is not the roote but the fruit Whereas he speaketh in the plurall number not lust but lusts it is because the motions or desires of our depraued nature are of sundry kindes some are the will of the minde so called Eph. 2.3 as errours heresies false opinions wicked conceits euill imaginations corrupt reasonings wicked counsels deuises and thoughts eyther against God or men or our selues some are the will of the flesh thus tearmed in the former place Ephes. 2.3 whereby is meant all the euill affections which be in our vnreasonable part in our will appetite and senses as anger pride couetousnesse enuy reuenge contention and such like And 2. Cor. 7.1 these lusts are deuided into lusts of the flesh and the spirit where flesh
