the Lords house and after he had finished that his owne house for which God accordingly blessed them though neither of them wanted chastisements because also some times they faulted therein yet were great blessings bestowed on them both in this life vouchsafed out of the everlasting favour and blessing of God as by the monuments of them both is manifest By example of whom we are instructed to follow the Commandement of God in building his house in going at leastwise as farre as David in providing those things that were requi●●te for perfecting thereof which worke was referred to Solomon let us be moved with the example of Gods mercies on them to look for the like blessing if we follow them in well doing remembring that which is written by the Prophet how that afterward he had espoused them to himselfe in kindnesse and mercy and had made a covenant with them by this that he promiseth that he will heare the heavens and the heavens shall heare the earth and the earth shall heare Israel nay they may assure themselves not onely of these blessings but of such as are inestimably to be preferred before them whereof mention is made in the Apocalips though represented also by such things as Manna the tree of life to conquerers to them that goe forward in the building of the Temple and of the Sanctuary This exhortation pertaineth more specially indeed to the principall builders of it But it doth also belong unto all the people of the land not to the ministery or spirituality as they tearme it but to all Christians who must all be spirituall if they will all be Christians they must as lively stones be built upon the foundation they must offer up themselves a living holy and acceptable sacrifice none is exempted from this labour all must be Kings to conquer their lusts and affections that rebell against Gods Commandements all Priests to offer up spirituall sacrifice yea they are each one to go further and not onely to build themselves but others also every one one another remembring that which the Apostle exhorteth the Thessalonians Exhort one another and edefie one another Therefore all must be builders all our speech must be to edefie poudred with salt our actions rules of Godlinesse that we may be patternes for others to behold for our Saviour spake to all his disciples Ye are the salt of the earth and the light of the world not onely the Bishops and the Deacons as Philippi but also the rest of them were as lights shining forth holding forth for others salt serveth for many use● to season other things light to light others also Therefore all are to edefie not themselves but others also This exhortation made to all we ought to call to remembrance that so we are for this cause termed salt light a princely priesthood a chosen nation whom God hath sanctified to shew forth the vertue of him that hath called them and the care which they are to have one of another It was Cains voice am I the keeper of my brother But we are rather to propose unto ourselves the example of Moses when he was not yet called to be delivered of his brethrenbut prepared thereunto he laboured to reconcile his brethren that were at discord yet this exhortation concerneth principally Zerubbabel and Joshua because they be the chiefest of the Lords servants and the graces of God are most eminent in them whose heart God hath so touched that they pitty the dust the stons the ruines of Jerusalem who as trees of righteousnes moistned by Gods spirit sanctified by Gods grace that was poured upon Christ Jesus are appointed to build the old waste places to raise up the former desolations and to repaire the Cities that were desolate and waste through many desolations which words of the Prophet must teach us who are called especially to the charge of building to take delight in the stones thereof to be carefull for the raising up of them to repaire the desolate Cities of Judah and Jerusalem wherby I am moved to beseech you fathers who are inabled with gifts to performe this duty to the whole houshold that you would not onely raise up others to do this holy worke but that you with more care diligence would performe the same your selves for though you are content to heare the young sort and sometimes Eliba may speak more wisely than his elders the youth of Timothy is not to be despised yet many have more regard of the gray head aged Paul is able to speake with great gravity and therefore is wont to be heard with great reverence and profit Gideon when he had taken the K. of Midian Zeba and Zalmanna he spake to Jether his first-born to rise up and slay them but the boy drew not his sword because he feared because he was yet young then the Kings said unto Gideon rise thou and fall upon us for as the man is so is his strength our carnall lusts and carnall concupiscence whereby we are led to wickednesse fight against the spirit of God and they are the enemies of the Lord and therefore we are willed of the Apostle to mortifie our members that are on earth fornication uncleannesse the inordinate affection coveteousnesse which is Idolatry the wicked affections are as the Apostle saith limbes of one body growing so fast unto us by the depravation of our nature as our armes or leggs do to our bodies therefore these limbs of our body must be slaine the sword wherewith we must doe it is the word of God as the Apostle teacheth why these lusts are for the most part so slowly slaine there are many reasons partly because Gideon spe●keth to his first borne to slay them not boyes indeed as he was to whom Gideon spake but of riper yeares yet our sonnes though our first-borne and flower of our sonnes yet but our sons Zeba and Zalmanna knew well enough that Jether though Gideons first-borne yet he could not make so quicke dispatch in killing of them because they were to dye by his hand they were to dye a lingring death wherefore although your children are loth to say to you that you your selves are rather to rise up and performe this duty as nether Jether did to his Father Gideon give us leave as Zeba and Zalmunna to will you to rise up and runne upon your lusts and slay them for as the man is so is his strength God forbid you should be justly to be taxed with that reproof which is laid upon the great men and the Tekoils of whom when the Prophets had shewed the building of the walles of Jerusalem each sort fortified in their place but the great with he of the Tekoits put not their necks to the worke of the Lord the phrase here used noteth the kinde of labour they should have taken even to carry stones and morter a base worke that great men should be labourers in yet we see the Holy Ghost toucheth them with just
