THE CHRISTIANS GARMENT A Sermon Preached in London by the late faithfull Minister of Gods Word Master Paul Bayne GAL. 3.27 All that are baptized into Christ haue put on Christ COL 3.4 When Christ which is our Life shall appeare then shall yee also appeare with him in Glory LONDON Printed by G. P. for Ralph Rounthwaite and are to be sold at his Shop in Pauls Church-yard at the Signe of the Flower-de-luce and Crowne 1618. To the Christian Reader CHristian Reader I doe the rather commend this following Sermon vnto thee First because I doe obserue that all the other workes of this holy man of GOD vvhich haue beene committed to the Presse since his death are generally approued and embraced of all the Godly And secondly because I hauing had other copies of his works in my hands as his first largest Letter of all exciting to Repentance and New obedience and another Sermon of his vvhich intreateth soundly and in briefe manner concerning the Apostasie from true grace which may be in Gods children and from those seeming temporary graces vvhich may be in the wicked both vvhich are now printed I thought good not to bury this other Sermon of his which followeth in darknesse and obliuion Thirdly and lastly I was the rather willing to commit the same to the publike view of all in regard of the Author thereof who was and is still reuerenced and beloued of all the children of God which euer knew him especially of all those which had any familiar acquaintance communion with him who while he liued was a bright Starre in the right hand of Christ Reu. 1.20 who as a cleere candle shined so long vnto others vpon the candlesticke where Christ had placed him vntill by giuing light vnto others hee had almost consumed and spent himselfe 1. Thes 2.11 who liued as a gentle Father and a tender Nurse among those of the children of God vvhich hee had committed vnto his teaching who was of the same minde with that holy Apostle that hee would very gladly haue spent 2. Cor. 12.15 and been spent himselfe for their soules ouer which hee was appointed to watch though the more abundantly he had loued them the lesse he should haue been beloued of them so affectionately desirous was he of them that hee was willing to haue imparted vnto them not the Gospell of God onely but also his owne soule because they were deare vnto him 1. Thes 2.8 Act. 20.24 who counted not his owne life deare vnto himselfe so that he might haue finished his course with ioy the ministerie which he had receiued of the Lord Iesus to testifie the Gospell of the grace of God which hee laboured to performe in a good and acceptable manner vnto him For as hee was allowed of God to be put in trust with the Gospell euen so he spake not as pleasing men but GOD which tryed his heart 1. Thes 2.4 6. neither at any time sought hee the praise and glory of men but of God alone He was like vnto Iohn the Baptist for hee was both a burning and shining light Ioh. 5.35 burning in himselfe with the fire both of an holy and ardent zeale for Gods glory and of a pure and feruent loue of the saluation of his brethren and shining forth vnto others by the light both of his vncorrupt and sound doctrine and also of his vnblameable and good conuersation But behold this bright Starre this burning Lampe this shining Light was at length eclipsed darkned and by death quite extinguished but his memoriall shall continue still amongst vs and shall be blessed his good name Prou. 22 1. which is to be chosen aboue great riches and to be valued aboue all precious treasures shall neuer die but shall freshly shine forth for euermore Seeing hee was so good a man his losse is the more to be lamented of Gods Church and children being taken away as for the vnthankefulnesse of this wretched and wicked world Esay 5● 1 which was not worthy of him so also from the euill to come Reade this and all other of his workes with reuerence remember the things contained in them with diligence and practise all the good duties therein vrged vpon thy soule with constancy and if thou receiue any benefite and comfort thereby forget not to giue God the praise and glory which is due vnto him for the same Thine in the Lord Iesus Christ G. W. Master Bayne his Prayer before his Sermons OVR gracious God and mercifull Father in Christ We confesse that as wee are vnworthy to appeare in thy sight so wee are of our selues insufficient to euery good worke and much more to those of speaking and hearing thy Word for which who are sufficient Wee beseech thee therefore in the entrance of these our duties to help vs with thy good Spirit that the thoughts of our hearts and words of our mouthes may be acceptable before thee Wee confesse to thy glory and our shame that we are miserable sinners if we looke to our selues as lying in the loynes of our first parents we are a tainted seed iustly disinherited of glory if wee consider our selues as comming into this light we are all conceiued and brought forth in sinne which like a Leprosy hath spred it selfe into all the powers of vs that what we haue done of our owne strength is abomination and whatsoeuer is truely good we haue altogether neglected it there being not one that doth good no not one More particularly we acknowledge euen we to whom thou hast beene mercifull to make vs taste how good thou art in Christ that since the effectuall working of grace in vs wee haue not ceased through the relickes of our corruption to multiply trespasses against all thy commandements especially we haue prouoked the eyes of thy glory by taking thy Name in vaine by comming to heare and speake thy Word without renewing our faith and repentance and so haue deserued that thou shouldest turne thy Ordinances to become a sauour of death vnto vs Yea if in none of these kinds we had offended heretofore yet since we haue bowed our knees making these our confessions wee discerne such blindenesse of minde and hardnesse of heart with vs in the same for which thou mightest iustly condemne vs wouldst thou deale in Iustice and deny vs Mercy Neuerthelesse seeing it pleased thee by faith in Christ to make vs thy sonnes and daughters wee do in this regard enter thy presence with boldnesse as it becommeth thy children beseeching thee to make vs able alwaies to challenge our righteousnesse before thee that we may say with good conscience making requests in the death and resurrection of Christ It is Christ that is dead yea who is risen from the dead who is at the right hand of God and maketh intercession for vs. Who shall condemne vs or lay any thing to the charge of vs thy chosen To this end send the holy Spirit of thy Sonne into
