not deceive your poor souls by thinking ●ou shall go to heaven for your good meaning For it is written Not every one that saith unto ●he Lord Lord shall enter into the Kingdom of hea●en saith Christ but he that doth the will of my Father which is in heaven Mat. 7.21 Men think ●f they do but come to Church and have a good ●eaning they shall be saved O how many de●eive themselves by this St. Crysostom who ●reached to that great City of Antioch did be●i●ve that of two hundred thousand that came to ●ear the word scarce an hundred souls should be ●aved for if men would be saved they must not ●nely be hearers but doers of the word as St. James saith Jam. 1.22 The Scribes and Pharisees thought they should go to heaven before any other why They fasted they gave alms they did more then come to Church and yet they came short of heaven And doth not Christ say That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees ye shall never inherit the Kingdom of Heaven Matth. 5.10 O how many thousands are there in England whose righteousness comes infinitely short of the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees nay indeed have none at all neither seek for any but on the contrary delight in nothing but uncleanness drunkenness and other lascivious sins Of which St Paul saith They that live and dye in them shall never inherit the Kindom of Heaven 1 Cor. 6.10 But shall be cast into utter darkness where shall be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth O that men would be wise and consider their latter end for as the free falls so it lies If men will live in their sins they shall dye in their sins and perish for ever For without holiness no man shall see God Heb. 12.14 The young man in the Gospel he enquired after salvation saving Good master what shall he do to be saved But how many are there in England who never in all their life long so much as think of heaven and the salvation of their precis ous souls let the Lord call never so loud by the voice of his Ministers lifting up their voice like trumpet or by the voice of his words and works ●●y his mercies which should invite men to come ●●n by his Iudgements which should affright ●hem how do they he snorting and sleeping in ●heir sin and never awake But let the world ●all and presently they stir let but a door be open●d how to get riches and be great in the world how do men thrust and throng and every one trives to go before another but the Ministers of God may cry and call till their hearts ake for men to get to heaven and then sadly complain to the Lord as Isaiah did Isa 53.1 Lord who hath beieved our report We have toil'd all day all the ●ayes of our lives and have caught nothing The Net of the Gospel hath been alwayes spread out and yet scarce one soul taken in it We read Acts 2.40 that at a Sermon of St. Peters three tho●●land souls were converted to the Lord but now we may hear three thousand Sermons preached and scarce one soul brought to heaven Men are altogether of Gallio's mind Acts 18.17 They care not for these things Never was there since the ●ayes of Adam so much means of grace and sal●ation as now have we not Line upon Line ●recept upon Precept Sermon upon Sermon Mercy upon Mercy and yet all will not do men ●op their ears and refuse to hear the voice of the Charmer charm he never so wis●ly O I ●ear it will be more tollerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgement then for England And not onely the men of Nineve but th●cruel Jews and Turks shall rise up in judgement against us except we repent Englands hel● will be hotter then the Indians hell What na●tion or people is there at this day that God hat bestowed so many mercies on as upon England the Lord hath given us not onely his Gospel but also peace and plenty of all things And yet not with standing the Grace of God hath so abounded towards us that we have turn'd his Grace into mantouness because the goodness and mercy of our God hath abounded towards us we have made our sins to superabound against him Now justly might the Lord for our unsworthiness even cause the devouring sword to be unsheathed again among us and cause us to sheath it in one anothers bowels again and not onely sent the sword among us again which is ready to b● drawn but his destroying Angel with that save and heavy judgement the noysome Pestilence which the Lord hath been pleased in much mercy to keep from among us a long time even to admiration and even sweep us away in his wrath and indignation even every one of us It is the Lords mercy we are not consuined Lam. 3.22 Did not the Lord renew his mercies every morning we should be in hell ere night Ah the Lord spare us and have mercy on us for it is greatly to be feared these three heavy judgements Plague Famine and Sword are even ready to fall upon us How justly might the Lord give us a Famine ●ot onely of bread but also of hearing the word of the Lord even because we have despised it ●and loathed it as the Israelites did the Manna be Lord rained from Heaven heavenly food ●nd it was loathed by wretched men How sadly the Lord hath caused Ireland and Germany so feel these three heavy Iudgements ●s fresh in every mans memory and is not England as sinful a Nation as any of these were ●ea England is at this day an unthankful and unholy people a rebellious Nation who stand ●t out against the Lord. But let England know the Lord will be revenged on them Shall I not be revenged on such a Nation as this saith the Lord Yea I will be revenged on them O that men would see the goodnes of the Lord and now to day even while it is call'd to day and turn to the Lord by repentance for who knows whether the Lord will have mercy Yea he will have mercy upon us if we repent As I live saith the Lord I desire not the death of a sinner but rather that he should turn from his wickedness and repent Turn ye turn ye saith the Lord Ezek. 33.12 and I will have mercy upon you If there could have hin found but ten righteous persons in Sodom God would have spare it Gen. 8.33 And may not ●he Lord us yea he will space us if we repent See what the Lord saith Isa 55.7 Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts and turn to the Lord and he will have mercy on them Let every one therefore speedily repent without delay and strive who shall begin first if every one would sweep his own door the whole street would soon be clean and if every one would
