A78576	The preacher, or the art and method of preaching: shewing the most ample directions and rules for invention, method, expression, and books whereby a minister may be furnished with such helps as may make him a useful laborer in the Lords vineyard. / By William Chappell Bishop of Cork, sometime Fellow of Christs College in Cambridge.; Methodus concionandi. English	Chappell, William, 1582-1649.; Brough, W. (William), d. 1671.	1656 (1656)	Wing C1957; Thomason E1707_1; ESTC R209506	52,143	230

a Denunciation or likewise a Lamentation as also a Benediction of which before the Denuntiation against those who follow or doe not shun the evill which we dehort them from The Benediction upon them which do fly from it 5. The imminency notes it to be future and difficult But here it is needlesse to argue the future out of notes For we use not easily which is our presumption to imagine an evill to be present when indeed it is present much lesse when it is future For if it were present then there would not be so much need of Dehortation as of Reprehension or Consolation Yet sometimes there may be shewn if it be thought expedient out of the Notes that the evill is yet absent from the hearers that they may be the better encouraged to avoid it as much as possibly as they can 6. The Difficult seems here to be essential to the object of fear and therefore necessarily to be expounded shewing the propinquity of the evill which hangs over us and presseth us and the difficulty of shunning it The difficulty may be considered as well in respect of God who doth so govern things by his Providence that occasions of sinning being offered us our obedience may thereby be seen and appear as also in respect of us who as of our selves are inclined to sin and evill so we are also allured and driven on thereunto by Satan and his instruments 7. But on the otherside the avoicablensse of the evill will appear having laid open the means of avoiding it and likewise Gods promises by which he promiseth us both the power of using means and a successe 8. The means here are either by removing the Illatives or by avoiding those things which may inferre the evill that is to say the causes of evill or inferring Prohibitives or applying such things as can drive away the evill that is to say the causes of the contrary or the contraries of the causes Here also sometimes there will be occasion of premising the general fore-requisite to avoid the Illatives and bring in the Preservatives Crypsis 9. When 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the wherefore doth contain the chief Disswasives we must doe as before in the Exhortation 10. Here also may somewhat be intermixed out of the rest of the Uses that may conduce hereunto as Consolation from the absence of the evil which may be argued from the the dissemblable condition of other Congregations c.

others if there be several wayes to that end 4. Whether they be certain so that by the use of these the end cannot chuse but be attained or at least probable For defect of these three the desire vanishes into a neglect The defire occupyed about such an end and the means and by faith strengthened about them grows into hope or efficacious desire of the end And because the means are first by nature as far as to the actual being as productives of the actual end or the fruition therefore the agent puts the means into an actual esse or being making use of them to attain the end The end being thus specified is truly the beginning in operable things as obtaining the compleat volition or will of it self and of the means to it And all these things are eminently found as well in the excellency of the end as in the habitude of the means unto it in the Covenant between Christ and the Father Us and God in Christ Which two Covenants whereof the first is the foundation of the other doe afford very many axiomes of this kind in the Scripture 6. In this axiome for the most part the Medium or means is disposed in the first place and then the end Yet if the end hath the reason of the argument inferring the medium the Antecedent of the axiome contains the end and the consequent the medium or means But because the means may absolutely be looked upon before it be considered as determinated to this end it may conveniently be treated of in that order as it is placed unlesse by chance the reason of some special text be against it so it be abstractly in this absolute nature reserving the respect to the end of the Doctrine which is to be proposed out of the united parts Luk. 19.10 The Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost where the coming of the Son of man is argued from a double end copulately disposed Subordinate and Principal Who from the object What from the adjunct The parts the antecedent to seek and save or because be intended to seek and to save The consequent Therefore he came The axiome the explication being premised We were lost 2. The Son of man came 3. He intended to seek 4. To save that which was lost 5. To seek and to save 6. Because he would seek and save therefore he came 7. For there are also many places in Scripture in which under the note is contained the event of the finall cause And these axiomes doe also belong hereunto the adjunct to it being connexed but in a contrary order of parts For the event which lyes hidden under this note constitutes the consequent part of the axiome Of this kind seeme to be those sayings 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that the Scripture might be fulfilled er accomplished As if he should say When these things were done the Scripture was fulfilled which had foretold it should be or these things were done to the end that the Scripture might be fulfilled 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that pro 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to the end An example Matth. 2.15 Because he was in Egypt c. was fulfilled the saying of the Lord by the Prophet namely in the Antitype or reddition which is to be understood Hos 11.1 The axiomes of the antecedent Herod dyed Joseph with the child and his Mother was in Egypt so long that is to say till the death of Herod In the consequent As God called his Son namely Israel so he called his only begotten Son out of Egypt This was spoken by the Prophet From the Lord by the Prophet It is fulfilled Because he was in Egypt c. and being warned be returned therefore it was fulfilled And in this sense seemes to be expounded 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that it might be fulfilled by 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 then was fulfilled v. 17. Because there was a great cry for the death of the Bethleemitish children the saying of Jeremy namely in the like was fulfilled so Mark. 15.28 And the Scripture was fulfilled which saith c. 8. Sometimes under the species of the finall cause is set down the event meerly by accident also in a contrary order of parts Matth. 10.34 I came to send a sword Having premised a due explication the sense will be that The coming of Christ is the accidental cause of persecution namely through mens malice or Men would take occasion from the coming of Christ to stir up persecutions Here the coming of Christ is the Antecedent Persecutions should arise upon occasion thereof the Consequent Because I came persecutions will follow 9. There is another Adjunct to the Connex or as one should say joyned to it as it were in affinity not to be measured out of the precise proportion of the form alone but with a respect had as well to the nature of the matter as to the nature of God who is the witnesse In such connexes whether they have relation to God or man though nothing in esse or in being is somewhat set down in posse or possibility and somewhat beside according to the matter on Gods part as Deut. 32.41 if I whet c. Here is the posse or possibility and when it pleaseth him it is to be understood he will doe it On our part in exhortations monitions with promises and threatnings c. is set down the posse or possibility of the second Covenant not of the first oeconomically proposed See Dr. Prideaux in his Sermon Of Perseverance According to the matter also either necessary or indifferent of the necessary is laid down it ought or ought not of the indifferent it may or it may not or it is expedient or it is not expedient Which may also be observed in other axiomes of the same matter as Mat. 10.32,33 For seeing the force of Divine testimony as these are in an eminent degree proceeds from Gods infinite Prudence vertue and benevolence We must look we doe not attribute to any Divine saying any unworthy or lesse then worthy thing 10. This connex if it contain nothing which is absolute in it and the parts be single the axiome may be proposed being not very long as one only Doctrine and those things which are involved in it be deduced from it as Uses if any one shall think the sentence to be elliptick and that these things which are involved are to be supplyed I will not much contend against it Sometimes it will not be amisse to avoid the inconvenience of too prolixe a sentence See an example in the last Section This axiome is laid without any note Jam. 5.13 Where in the antecedent posse may is included in the consequent also debere it ought 11. If there be a copulate composition in this axiome as that Chap. 5. Sect. 2. it will be so likewise in the treaty Rom. 10.9 If thou shalt confesse with thy mouth c. The axiomes passing over what

is foretold must be assumed for sin 2 Cor. 12.21 For punishment Isa 15.5 And it may be used and applyed to this or that part severally to both joyntly so Luk. 13. v. 34 35. And not without tears c. 19.49 It may also be amply fied First by bewayling things or persons in which they who are bewayled doe sin or are punished Jer. 9.10 Secondly by Apostrophe Prosopopoeia By Apostrophe to the things or persons Isa 23.14 or to others to whom it belongs to grieve for the sin or punishment of those who are reprehended By Profopopoeia bringing in either the sinners themselves Prov. 5.12 or the things or persons in which they sin or are punished Secondly others also and those either condoling Rev. 18.9 or deriding Lam. 2.15 The Lamentation which is foretold must be assumed as for that part which hath a relation to the punishment it may be added to amplifie the Denuntiation Crypsis 15. The notes may here be omitted unlesse it be when either the sins are of a more subtile nature then that they can be easily discerned or the sinners so obstinate and pleasing to themselves that they will not acknowledge themselves to be vicious 16. To more prudent sinners it will be sufficient sometimes briefly to have glanced at some sin and in a word have shewn how it is adverse to the Text or to the Doctrine So we may altogether spare aggravations unlesse we will make use of some few which shall seem most fitting 17. The Commination or Denuntiation may well be omitted unlesse it be when the sin of its own nature is more grievous or hath taken deep root or the hearers are inclined and apt to fall into it 18. This use may be somewhat mollified and sweetened and be made no lesse and peradventure more effectual if the Preacher doe sacredly professe that he doth not of his own accord and willingly descend to those extreme remedies but is drawn to it unwillingly and with much grief Especially if he shew himself such in the rest of his life and speech with all mansuetude and lenity that the hearers may believe he speaks it truly He may also by relating those things which he judgeth to be excellent and praise-worthy in the hearers both remove from himself the suspicion of bitternesse and tartnesse and also admonish and exhort them not to stain the glory their virtues have acquired them by the contagion of such a foul sin or lose their expected Crown The chief heads of the aggravations of sin I.
