the man Christ Iesus with a full perswasion of the hart a sure confidence of an assured rest of conscience grounded vpon the promise of Gods mercy that we shall be fréely accepted with God in Christ for that First our sinnes are purged in his blood 1. Ioh. 1.2 Esa. 53. Secondly his righteousnes is imputed vnto vs. Rom. 4.1 1 Cor. 1.30 The fathers looked for none other righteousnes thē this righteousnes of Christ as the Apostle Paul proueth sufficiently by that one example of Abraham who is said to rest himselfe vpon that righteounesse of faith which is the righteousnes which God giueth vs in Christ apprehended by faith onely The Apostle S. Peter which fel most dangerously comforted himselfe with this righteousnes all men that will beleeue his doctrine affirming that we cannot be saued with siluer or gold but with the precious blood of Iesus Christ as of a Lambe vndefiled Here then we sée what is required of all that shall be saued by Christ which things if we doe belieue with a liuely faith planted and grounded vpon the sure promises of Gods mercy offered vnto vs in Christ and not doubting thereof but with all diligence kéepe and performe the premises aforesaid then we shall bee assured to enter in at the straight gate and narrow way leading vnto eternal life Saluation is he gift of God which he fréely bestoweth vpon all that séek him aright This is eternall life to know the Father and him whom hee hath sent Iesus Christ. We must seeke God aright But some perhaps will say how shall wee seeke him aright I answer Dilige Deum mandata eius obserua Loue God kéep his commandements Héerby shall all men know that you seeke him as you ought S. Augustine speaking of this matter saith Da amantem et sentit quid dico si autem frigido loquor nescit quid loquar Giue me a man that is in loue with God he seeth this to be true which I say but if I talke to a cold Christian he vnderstandeth not what I say And this is the cause why Christ talking of the kéeping his commandements repeateth so often this word loue as the surest cause of keeping the same for want whereof in the world the world kéepeth them not as there he sheweth If you loue me keepe my commandements Againe Hee that hath my commandements and keepeth them hee is he that loueth me And againe Hee which loueth me will keepe my commandements See what S. Austen exhorts vs vnto Ama amorem illius Loue this his loue His deserues and requires loue O loue the Lord saith the Prophet Dauid all his saints If no loue no saints and yet no true loue vnlesse fath Ye that loue the Lord sée that you hate euill and doe good séeke the Lord and yee shall liue for euermore Can God bestow better things vpon his children then eternall life who is the efficient cause of saluation by the working of the holy Ghost in the hearts of his children through faith in Christ Iesus For faith is the testimony of Gods spirit which spirrit doth not only speak within vs but also perswadeth vs of the good grace of God towards vs by arguments drawne from our free redemption in Christ. Lastly the same spirit mortifieth sin in vs and quickeneth our mortal bodies to bring forth most swéet pleasāt fruits vnto God This bréedeth that inward solace ioy and peace which the mind and conscience hath with God because it is freed from the bondage of sinne the curse of the law c. and restoreth to grace againe This ioy and solace of a good conscience the Apostle calleth it the kingdome of God Ro. 14.17 And an especiall fruit of the holy Ghost Gal 5 22. And a sure consequent of our iustification by faith Ro. 5.1 and the child of God in all his troubles comforteth himselfe therwith as with a feast Dauid longed for this ioy as appeaeth in his earnest prayer for it where hee cryeth saying Restore to me the ioy of thy saluation and stablish me with thy free spirit Many which seeke to enter in at the straight gate shall not be able Wherefore thou secure worldling thy conscience telleth thee that thou hast not yet sought the Lord aright thou hast not yet repented and thou art not yet a liuely member of Iesus Christ. And further thou knowest that howsoeuer thou art aliue at this time yet thou hast no lease of thy life God may call thée forth of the world the next yeare the next hower yea he may strike thee with a sudden death at this very present And in very truth if thou goest forth of this world being no repentant sinner thou goest damned to hell Therfore delay not one minut of an houre longer but with all speed repent and turne vnto God and bring forth fruits worthy amendment of life that all thy sins may be done away when the day of death or the day of iudgement shall be And do not think with thy selfe it shall be sufficient to defer thy turning vnto God till the last day for late repentance is seldome true repentance And he which continueth long in any sin is in a dangerous case If a man lie long sicke in any disease he will scarce recouer his former health and he which is growne in the custome of any sin the sin is become ripe in him it is a thousand to one he is neuer saued according to that of S. Iames Sinne being perfitted bringeth forth death Let vs therefore without any delay repent and turne vnto God for if we liue in this world not being true Christians wee are far more vile then the basest Creatures of all euen the dog or toad For first we are nothing else but a filthy dunghill of all abomination vncleannes the stink whereof hath infected heauen and earth and no perfumes could euer delay it in the nostrils of God but only the suffering of Christ being a sacrifice of a swéet smelling sauour to God we make it very dainty to come néere a lazer man full of botches blaines sores but much more are these mē to be abhorred which haue lien many yeares stark dead in sins trespasses therfore now do nothing els but rot stink in them like vgly loathsome carrions Againe if we liue as secure worldlings carnall Ghospellers not as true Christians we are in danger of al the iudgements of God so that euery moment some of thē may befall vs· We may perish sodainly by water with the old world we may be consumed with fire brimstone with Sodome Gomorrah we may be swallowed vp of the earth with Corah Dathan and Abiram we may hang our selues with Iudas wee may haue our brains dashed out against the ground be eaten vp of dogs with Iesabel we may die in hardnes of heart with Pharaoh we may
that may be both within vs and without vs we haue as they say the Sun Moone seauen starres against vs we haue all the Diuells in hell against vs with all their hornes heads maruelous strength infinite wiles cunning deuises déepe flights and methodicall temptations Heere raues a sore streame against vs then haue we this present euill world against vs with his innumerable baites snares nets ginnes grins c. to catch vs fetter vs and intangle vs. Here haue we both profits and pleasures riches and honor wealth and preferment ambition couetousnes Here comes a campe royall of spirituall and inuisible enemies Lastly wee haue our flesh that is our corrupted nature against vs we haue our selues against our selues For we our selues are as great enemies to our saluation as either the world or the Diuell For our vnderstanding reason will and affections are altogether against vs. Our natural wisedome is an enemy vnto vs our concupiscences lusts doe minister strength to Sathans temptations they are all in league with Sathan against vs They take part with him in euery thing against vs and our saluation they fight all vnder his standerd and receiue their pay of him This then goeth hard on our side that the Diuell hath an inward party against vs and wee carry alwayes within vs our greatest enemy which is euer ready night and day to betray vs into the hands of Sathan yea to vnboult the doore to let him in to cut our throats Here then wee sée an huge army of dreadfull enemies and a very legion of Diuels lying in ambush against our soules are not we therefore poore wretches in a most pittifull case which are thus bessedged and betrayed on euery side All thinges then duly considered may not wee iustly maruaile that any shall be saued For who séeth not who knoweth not that thousand thousands are carried headlong to destruction without the great mercy of God either with the temptations of the world the flesh or the Diuell But yet further I wil shew you by other apparant and euident reasons that the number of Gods Elect vpon the face of the earth are very few in comparison which may thus be considered First let there bee taken away from amongst vs the Papists Atheists and Heretiques Secondly let there be shouelled out all vitious and notorious euill liuers as swearers drunkards whoremongers carnall worldlings deceiuers cosoners proud men riotors gamesters and the prophane multitude Thirdly let there be refused and sorted out all hippocrites carnall Protestants vaine professors backe-sliders decliners and cold Christians Let all these I say be seperated and then tell me how many sound sincere faithfull and zealous worshippers of God will bee found amongst vs I suppose we should not néede the Art of Arithmeticke to number them for I think there would be very few in euery village towne Citty I doubt they would walke very thinly in the street so as a man might easily tell them as they go Our Lord Iesus asketh a question in the Gospell of S. Luke saying Doe you thinke when the sonne of man commeth that he shall find faith on the earth to the which wee may answer surely very little To make it more clearely manifest that few shall bee saued in the first age of the world all flesh had so corrupted their waies that God could no longer beare them but euen vowed their distruction by ouerflowing of waters when the flood came how few were found faithfull eight persons were only saued by the Arke How few righteous found in Sodome the Citties adioyning but one poore Lot and his family How few beleeuers were found in Iericho but one Rahab How few of the old Israelites entred into the Land of promise but two Caleb and Iosuah the rest could not enter in because of vnbeliefe The true and inuisible Church was small during the gouernment of the Iudges as apeareth plentifully in that booke In Elias time the Church was so small that it did appeare weak In the raign of the Kings of Israell and Iudah the sincere worshippers were very few as appeareth by the complaint of all the Prophets During the captiuity the Church was as the moone vnder a cloud she was driuen into a wildernesse where she did hide herselfe During the persecution of the Gréeke Empire by Gog and Magog and Egypt they were fewest of all In Christs time with what silly company did hee begin withall How were all things corrupted by the Priests Scribes and Pharises preaching there were few beléeuers After the first six hundreth yeares what an ecclipse was in the Church during the height of Antichrists raigne How few true worshippers of God were in the world for the space of almost nine hundreth yeares Since the Gospell was preached and spred abroad how few doe beleeue And as the Prophet Esay saith Domine quis credidit auditui nostro Lord who hath belieued our report Thus then you sée it doth appeare both by Scripture reason and examples of all ages that the number of the elect is very smale and when when all comes to all few shal be saued Therefore let vs striue earnestly to goe in at the straight gate for the small number of those that shal be saued ought to thrust vs forward to enter in thereat Christ saith Contendite intrare per angustam portam quia multi dico vobis studebunt intrare et non poterunt Striue to enter in at the narrow gate for many I say vnto you will séeke to enter in and shall not be able And in an other place hee saith The gate is straight and the way narrow that leadeth vnto life and few there be that finde it If men would consider of this and try with themselues whether they be of that small number or no it would make them looke better about them c. Death threatneth vs who is very terrible to the flesh and the remembrance of it very bitter to a man that is sowced soaked and setled in the pleasures of this world It flattereth no man it regardeth not persons it waigheth not friendship it careth not for rewards it is very grim vgly and cruell and killeth downe right where it hitteth Therefore Christ bids vs striue earnestly To knit vp this point S. Bernard saith there is none of vs all which standeth not in néed of councell propes and helpe The generall misery of mankind is triple c. For both we are easie to be seduced and vnable to doe well and very weake to resist If we would discerne between good and euill we are deceiued if we goe about to doe good wee quickly faint if we endeauour to resist euill wee cannot endure but are easily ouercome The tiranny and rage of Sathan is vnspeakeable and his power mighty the baytes of the world be innumerable and our flesh fraile and weak They are thrée deadly enemies to our saluation against whom we must al ioyntly fight Our
the wicked but we will visit the true Church whereas the people are taught by Gods pure word The Prophet Hoseas saith the waies of the Lord are straight and the iust shal walk in them but the wicked shall fall therein So saith the Prophet Dauid The Scriptures are a guide to our feet So saith the old father Origen Clausum est negligentibus inuenitur querentibus It is shut from the negligent but it is open to them that séeke and knock for it Saint Clemens Alexandrinus saith also Audite qui estis longe audite qui prope nullis celatum est verbum lux est communis omnibus illucesscit hominibus nullus est in verbo cimerius festinemus ad salutem ad regenerationem Hearken ye that be far off harken ye that be néere the word of God is hid from no man it is a light common to all men there is no darknes in Gods word let vs make hast to saluation to regeneration Fulgentius 〈◊〉 in Scripturis diuinis abundat et quod robustus comedat et quod paruulus â—â—gat In the Scriptures of God there is plenty sufficient both for the strong to eat and the little one to sucke So saith Irenaeus Scripturae in aperto sunt et sine ambiguitate et similiter ab omnibus audiri possunt The Scriptures are plaine without doubtfulnes and may be heard indifferently of all men So saith Chrys. Omnia clara et plana sunt in Scripturis diuinis quaecunque necessaria sunt manifesta sunt whatsoeuer thing is necessary for vs is alwayes manifest So saith Epiphanius li. 2. So saith S. Ierome in Psal. 86. So to conclude saith S. Gregory It is a streame wherein the little Lambe may wade and the great Elephants may swim Therefore lift vp your heads ye gates and lift vp your selues you euerlasting doores the King of glory shall come in For the Lord hath chosen Syon and loued to dwell in it saying this is my rest for euer héere will I dwell for I haue a delight therein Psal. 132.13.14 Lastly our Sauiour Christ saith that many that séeke to enter in shall not be able noting thereby that euen of them that séeke many shall steppe short because they séeke him not aright Esaias also saith Except the Lord of hostes had left vs a séed we had bin as Sodome and like to Gomorrah The Apostle alleadgeth out of the Prophets that the Lord will make a short accompt in the earth and gather it into a short sum with righteousnesse The Prophet Amos giueth good counsell saying séeke the Lord and yée shall liue séeke good and not euill hate the euill loue the good and establish iudgement in the gate It may be that the Lord of hosts will be mercifull vnto the remnaÌ„t of Ioseph The reason why many which séeke to enter into eternall life shall not be able God hath appointed vnto euery man that liueth in the Church a certain time of repentance and of comming to Christ he which mispendeth that time and is not made Christian then can neuer be saued This made our Sauiour Christ to wéepe for Ierusalem and say Oh if thou hadst knowne at the least in this thy day those things which belong to thy peace but now are they hidden from thine eies And hée further signifieth the destructioÌ„ of Ierusalem because she knew not the time of her visitation Here we learne that the neglecting of this time is one cause why not one or two but many shall séeke to enter into the kingdowe of Heauen and yet shall not be able It is a maruellous thing that they which séeke to be saued should perish but the fault is theirs which séeke when it is too late There are nine things required of all that shall be saued by Christ. 1. He must be a new creature 1. Cor. 5.17 2. He must liue not after the lusts of men but after the will of God 1 Pet. 4.2 3. Hee must be zealous of good workes Ti. 2.14 4. Hee must dye to sinne and liue to righteousnes Rom. 6.14 5 He must be holy vnblamable Col. 2 6. 6. Hee must so walke as Christ hath walked Iohn 2.6 7. Hee must crucifie the flesh with the affections and Lusts. Gal. 5 24. 8. Hee must walke not after the flesh but after the Spirit Rom. 8.1 Last of all he must serue God in holines and righteousnesse all the daies of his life Luke 1.75 If these things be in you in some measure of truth then your hope is currant sound and good otherwise it is nothing worth For in vaine do men say they hope to be saued by Christ when as they walke wickedly and dissolutely The reason hereof is because the members must be sutable to the head But Christ our head is holy therefore we his members must be holy also as it as written Be yee holy for I am holy Otherwise if we will ioyne prophane vnholy members to our holy head Christ then we make Christ a monster As if we should ioyn swearers drunkards whoremongers and such like to be the members of Christ and to haue life saluation by him But the case is far otherwise For first of all before a Christian can come to haue an inward féeling and true vnderstanding of these things there are fiue other especiall things to be required of euery true Christian which liueth in the Church First the acknowledgment of sinnes committed against the law of the Lord. Secondly the acknowledgment of Gods angry countenance to be most iustly bent against him for his sinnes Thirdly an inward sorrow and paine of the heart and soule for sinne But here we are most warily to take héed that we content not our selues with these thrée former points for if we doe the vilest firebrands in hell Iudas Phatao Saul Herod Achitophell such like shall go before vs or be our equals in the professioÌ„ of repentance There are two manner of repentances the one a true repentance to life the other a false repentance to death as we may sée by Iudas who is said to haue repented which is more to haue confessed his fault which is most of all to haue made restitution and yet it was a false repentance why because it sprang not of a true faith but as afore Peter repented and wept bitterly was saued thereby though he neuer made confession nor satisfaction And why because it sprang of a true and liuely faith in Christ. Quid ergo est What is it then that is required at our hands these two things subsequent most chiefely and principally which may be well called Vltima est summa the last and highest of all that is a perfect hatred loathing and detesting of sinne For such onely begin to cease from sinne Lastly the acknowledgment of the mercy of God offered in that one redéemer and onely mediator betwéene God and man
despaire with Caine Iudas we may be stricken with sudden death with Annanias and Saphira his wife we may be eaten of wormes with Herod we may be smitten that we cannot heare Gods word with Foelix wee may voyd our guts at the stoole with Arrius we may cry at our death that we are damned with Latomus wee may be left vnto our selues to mock blaspheme and renownce Christ with Iulian the Apostata we may suffer many more fearfull iudgements whereof the Lord hath great store tend to the confounding of them that wil not be humbled vnder his hand Contrariwise the true Christian is so far out of the reach of Gods iudgements that they cannot hurt him Christ is a couering and a cloud vnto thee against the heat tempest of Gods iudgement when a mans heart is sprinckled with the blood of this immaculate lambe all the plagues of God passe ouer him In the destruction of Ierusalem the righteous beare a marke in their forehead are saued Therfore let him that regards his owne safety become a Christian. Now because you see that there be many strong barres and stops out of heauen a very wide passage into hel the best counsel therefore I can giue you if it were for my life is to be much exercised in the word of God both in the hearing reading meditation thereof and also to purchase vnto your selues the sincere ministry of the Gospell to make conscience to liue vnder it estéeming your selues happy if you haue it though you want all other things vnhappy if you haue it not though you haue all other things For it is a péerelesse pearle an incomparable Iewell for the purchasing whereof we are aduised by our Lord Iesus to sell all that wee haue rather then to goe without it Againe our Sauiour Christ giueth the same counsell to the Church of Laodicea in these words I counsell thée to buy of me gold tryed by the fire that thou maist be ritch and white rayment that thou maist be clothed and that thy filthy nakednesse doe not appeare anoynt thine eyes with eye-salue that thou maist sée where you see the word of God is compared to most pretious gold whereby wee are made spiritually ritch and to glittering attire wherewith our naked soules are cloathed and to an eye-salue wherewith our spirituall blindnes is cured Wée are aduertised also by Iesus Christ whose counsell is euer the best that wee should buy these thinges whatsoeuer they cost vs. The same counsel also giueth wise Solomon saying buy the truth but sell it not So theÌ„ we sée the counsell which héerein I giue thée is not mine owne but the counsell of Iesus Christ himselfe and Salomon the wise Ego fidenter dico I speake boldly and who can or who dare speake against their counsell Now as I haue aduised you to be much exercised in the hearing reading meditation of the word of God which is indéed good profitable necessary yet you must of necessity frequent preaching of the word the sound preaching of the Gospell which is the cheefest and most principall meanes which God hath ordained and sanctified and for the sauing of mens soules as it is plainly set down When the world by wisedome knew not God in the wisedome of God it pleased God by the foolishnes of preaching to saue them that beleeue For the word preached is the ordinary meanes to work faith which indeed is confirmed by hearinng reading meditation in the word prayer c. As it is written How shall they call on him on whom they haue not beléeued and how shall they beleeue in him whom they haue not heard how shall they heare without a Preacher For that Niniuie repented at the preaching of Ionas It was therefore the word of the Lord preached by the ministry of Nathan that was the instrumentall cause of King Dauids hearty repentance as Samuel recorded it he confesseth it in the 51. Psal. Héere then you sée that the chiefest and most principall meanes which God hath ordained sanctified for the sauing of soules is the word of God preached faith is therby increased and wrought in the hearts of the hearers As Saint Paul saith Faith is wrought by the word of God preached Faith doth not onely heare the word receiue the word vnderstaÌ„d the word reioyce in the word for thus far many hipocrites haue gone in the profession of faith as appeareth by the seede sowne in the stony grownd he heareth the word incontinently with ioy receiueth it yet hath he no root in himselfe dureth but for a season for as soone as tribulation or persecution coÌ„meth because of the word by by hee is offended But faith also openeth the most secret part of the hart therin hideth the word of God as a most precious Iewell in a treasure house for the good vses which God hath appointed And of this kéeping of the word in the secret of the hart these places do testifie Pro 4.20 My sonne hearken vnto my words incline thine eare vnto my sayings let them not depart from thine eyes but keep them in the midst of thine heart Psal. 119.11 I haue hid thy promises in mine heart that I might not sin against thee Psal. 51. Behold thou louest truth in the inward affections therfore hast thou taught mee wisedome in the secret of my heart Luke 2.19 But Mary kept all these sayings and pondered them in her heart Againe verse 51. His mother kept all these sayings in hir heart For if the word of God be not wel wrapped in the heart it shal be soone vncouered discryed deuoured of some aduersary or some euill wéed will growe therewithall choake it as appeareth in the euill hearers who are compared to the séede which was sowed among thornes He heareth the word but the care of this world the deceiptfulnes of riches choake the word he is made vnfrutefull But the immortal euerlasting séed which was sowed in the good grownd was so déepely rooted in the heart of S. Ieremie that he cryed out against such euill hearers saying His word was in my heart as a burning fier shut vp in my bones and I was weary with forbearing I could not stay for I had heard the rayling of many and feare on euery side Cap. 23.9 Mine heart breaketh within me because of the Prophets all my bones shake I am like a drunken man like a man whom wine hath ouercome for the presence of the Lord and for his holy words ver 29. Is not my word like fier saith the Lord like a hammer that breaketh the heard stone Now dearly beloued this doctrine which I teach you is not mine owne it is the doctrine of Iesus Christ which conuerteth the soule which teacheth the word of God truely guideth the hearts of euery true Christian the plaine mans pathway in at the strait gate leading to euerlasting saluation A wake thou therefore that sléepest in the bed of sinne make thy flinty heart to bléed and shed riuers of teares betimes in beewailng of thy sinnes be heartily sory for them and stand vp from the dead Christ shall giue thee light open thine heart without any further delay to receiue Christ and then he will come bind the strong man sathan cast him out dwell in thee himselfe Then the gates of hel shal neuer preuaile against thée then shalt thou enter with Christ in at the straight gate and narrow way which leadeth vnto eternall life and there dwell with him for euer Open therefore vnto vs O Lord the gates of righteousnes that we may goe into them and praise thy holy name This is the gate of the Lord the righteous shall enter into it and praise him for euermore The God of peace which brought again from the dead the Lord Iesus the great Shepheard of the shéepe through the blood of the euerlasting couenant make vs perfect in all good workes cut of all lets and hinderances both within vs without vs sanctifie vs throughout amend all our imperfections kéepe vs blamelesse vntill the day of his most glorious appearing that we may enter with him into his heauenly kingdome to whome with the Father and holy Spirit one God in Trinity trinity in vnity be all blessing glory world with out end Soli Deo gloria Via lata et spaciosa Luk 3.23 Via arcta quae ducit ad vitam Ier. 1.17 Tit. 1.7 1 Cor. 4.1 Ma. 16.19 20.
