liuing God with reuerent feare by his mercie and Christes merite to be raunsomed from the paines and power thereof Of whose power we thus say The second death which is hell hath a double power or prerogatiue The first is a prerogatiue to receiue such persons as of right doe belong vnto her The seconde is perpetually to kÃ©epe their soules in that lake till the day of iudgement and can neither be coniured or commaunded to deliuer any one of them or can they come out of her by any authoritie or power of Pope or whole papasie but after that day shall possesse both the bodies souls of the malignant Church to her euerlasting tormentes Nowe what soules and persons doe belong to her our Apostle doth tel vs in the 21. of this book saying But the fearefull and vnbeleeuing and the abhominable Apoc. 21.8 murtherers whormongers idolaters sorcerers al liers shal haue their part in the lake which burneth with fire brimstoÌ„ which is the second death ThrÃ©e sortes of persons Gods spirit doeth assure vs to be vnder the power of the second death That is the obstinate Infidell the fearefull Papiste and the abhominable couetous of the worlde as drunkards whoremongers murtherers couetous liars and such like Delicate be your delightes yee gallants of these dayes but wisely call them to account before the mourners followe the sinfull corps to the graue Eccle. 12.1 c. For if the Lord which is the searcher of the heart find your delights with death to end in infidelitie in fearefull poperie or in any these carnal abhominations theÌ„ deceiue not your selues for the prerogatiue of the second death may not be taken froÌ„ her God is a iust God Rom. 2.6 and in his iustice will iudge euery maÌ„ according to the verie nature of his worke Note here also that ciuill honestie without Christs diuinitie cannot kÃ©epe the honest Infidel and vnbelÃ©euer from the second death For we possesse the heauens by inheritance onely and we are none otherwise made heires theÌ„ by this prerogatiue that we are made the soÌ„ns of God Io. 1. And wee are none otherwise made the soÌ„nes of God but by our faith in Iesus Christ Nor can this faith bÃ©e else obtained but by the spirite of God Or doth this spirit otherwise ordinarily worke it in vs then by the preaching of the word of God But the infidell reiecteth the worde 1. Thes 4.5 and therefore Gods spirite likewise our Christ and in him our heauenly father and so finally this heauenly inheritance And as for our honest life and good workes they serue but so seale vp the heartes of the faithfull to thassuraunce of their election and to procure others to prayse the Lorde being benefited by them in vs. But the onely hand that apprehendeth our inheritance in Christ is our firme fixed faith in him belÃ©euing by his word and spirit in the full consent of our hartes that he is the same which the most mercifull father hath giuen him to be to vs That is our wisedome our iustification our holynesse our frÃ©e and most absolute redemption 1. Cor. 1.10 and so in the bottome of our heartes doe by faith embrace him 2 The second sort subiect vnto hel are the feareful papistes who shal neuer so dying escape the second death And if you will marke with me this Epitheton fearefull therewith measure in truth the popish profession you must of mÃ©ere necessitie grant me that no papist dying in his popery can be else where placed but in the second death And to your better vnderstaÌ„ding hereof you must distinguish betwixt feare feare for there is a feare coÌ„mended coÌ„manded to vs in the holy scriptures Psa 111.10 as The feare of the Lord is the beginning of wisedom coÌ„manded Psa 2.10.11 Serue the Lorde in feare reioyce to him with treÌ„bling Again Feare god honor the king 1. Pet. 2.17 loue brotherly fellowship But this is that feare which Gods spirite planteth in his children to serue him in his true worship is euer ioyned with assured knowledge affiance in God And in the knot of christiaÌ„ mariage Psal 58.9 Psal 112. Psal 118. this sacred feare is rightly shadowed for the wife feareth to offend her husband but it is for reuereÌ„ce loue to him neuer wtout affiance of his fauor because she knoweth him to be her maried husband So likewise the godly child doth feare to displease his father not bicause he doubteth of his loue but for that he would not grÃ©eue the spirit of his life whoÌ„ he feleth most assuredly in natural knot fast tyed to him And though his father lend him a frowning face he knows that those his lookes proceed of fatherly loue to his correctioÌ„ wherof persuaded so he feareth so he trusteth so he naturally loueth obeieth him And this knowledge loue driueth away filthy feare which gendreth painefulnes But the feare that Iohn speaketh of is flat contrarie to this It is begotten by distrust in god it is borne of ignorance it liueth to dispaire dieth in gret painfulnes what other is the whole profession of popery but mÃ©ere timiditie They euer distrust god of his promise during their life therefore they die in feare of his fauor at the houre of death If he say That soule that sinneth shal die they beleue him not but walke froÌ„ sin to sin committing more trust to a Popes bul theÌ„ credit to the immortal word of god If the Lord say and sweare also Verely verely Io. 5.24 he that heareth my words beleueth in him that sent me hath euerlasting life shall not come into condeÌ„natioÌ„ but hath passed froÌ„ death to life yet the papist is afraid to rest vpoÌ„ this promise for he doth not absolutely belÃ©eue it but is in feare notwtstanding that after death his soule shal go to condemnation if not to hell yet at the least to purgatory Though the spirit of God say There is no condeÌ„nation to theÌ„ that are graft in Christ Iesu whose life is not after the flesh but after the spirit yet the papist wil not beleeue that he ought to be assured of this Christian rocke to rest vpon but casteth himselfe into the raging sea of wauering distrust Which feareful persuasion hath bÃ©ene the very building of al Abbies priories popish paultries from many yeres past vs and doth brÃ©ede great blasphemie to the glorie of God For first it taketh away the foundation of our faith in the merite of Christ which is the God almighty is become our father in him and that he is nowe well pleased with vs and as a father not onely doeth pardon our sins but so tenderly loueth vs that our necessities whatsoeuer he carefully helpeth It taketh away also this holy boldnes in loue which his spirit doeth assure vs of and Christ doeth teach vs to cry vnto him Math. 6. O thou that art our father

that dayly we so grieue him by our sinne This I take to be Pauls comfort to vs where he saith But God setteth out his loue towardes vs Rom. 5.8.9.10 seeing that while we were yet sinners Christe died for vs much more then being now iustified by his bloode wee shall be saued from wrath through him For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his sonne much more being reconciled wee shall be saued by his life 2 The seconde argument is of the absolute sacrifice of Christ Gods soÌ„ne for vs. we cannot fall from naturall death into popish purgatorie which are graft into his death for the same hath fully satisfied the iustice of God for vs pacified his anger and obteined vs eternall redemption 1. Pet. 3.18 For Christ also hath once suffered saith Peter the iust for the vniust that he might not sende vs to purgatorie but bring vs to God And this Christ in his owne bodie bare our sins on the trÃ©e 1. Pet. 2.24 that being deliuered from sinne then of good consequent from the rewarde of sinne which is death wee shoulde liue in righteousnesse by whose stripes and not by popishe purgatories purging we are soundly healed The fathers wrath in this sacrifice is fully pacified for he hath giuen vs twice warrant thereof by his owne voyce saing 1. Pet. 2.24 Mat. 3.17 17.5 1. Pet. 1.17 This is my beloued sonne in whom I am well pleased It resteth therefore according to our heauenly fathers commaundement that we onely heare and belÃ©eue him No feare of death or iudgement to hell much lesse to purgatorie can come then to vs which liue in the first resurrection by newnes of life For the Lorde our redemer hath payed the full price of our ransome and is therefore our Lutron and Lutrosis so as the vttermost farthing is tendred to Gods iustice in his death for mans sinne not by petition of sparing or bearing for day of further payment Matt. 20. but by his blood he hath paide himselfe once for all a full and absolute price for our redemption to his father Col. 2.14.15 and hath therfore triumphed on the crosse against principalities and powers and hath taken vs in his victorie from the handes of captiuitie translated vs into his grace putting out the whole hand writing that was against vs. Totum Chyrographum he hath taken away the whole obligation not parte of it in discharge of our debts that be graft in him And therfore there can not remayne a remnaunt of redemption for our selues in a popishe purgatorie For to suppose this were the greatest iniurie that coulde be to the blood of our full ransome Iesus Christ Last of all the promise of Gods mouth which can not lie whose wordes are alwayes yea and shall be alwayes true though heauen and earth runne together to perfourme them is a further assurance to the conscience of the godly man that hee shall passe from death presently vnto life For their purgatorie is say they but to punish those sinnes which at a mans death remaine vnpardoned and not purged before But to the penitent God saith thus At what time so euer a sinner doeth repent him of his sinne Ezech. 18. from the bottome of his heart at that time will I saith the Lord I shall the Pope then punish put all and not part of his wickednesse out of my remembraunce And our sauiour Christ Io. 6. hath promised vs which is the author of trueth He that beleeueth in me yea though he were deade yet shal he liue And he that beleueth in me hath euerlasting life Againe that which aboue all other is most plaine Hee that beleueth in mee Io. 5.24 shall not come into coÌ„demnation but hath passed from death to life HÃ©ere is plaine pardon and free immunitie from iudge and gaoler or corpus capias to bring to the barre for them that die in the true faith of the Lord for they are blessed and holy shal not sÃ©e death but shal be presently taken vp to life to be the priestes of God and Christ to raign with him for euermore But now to ende this my tedious labor O my deare brethreÌ„ both tyring you and much toyling my self gods spirite doth heere tell vs howe the faithful whose sinnes Psa 32.1.2 though they haue many are not laid to their charge are so farre from being plunged in a popishe purgatorie that farre contrary they are exalted into the height of heauen and called to the companie of those sanctified soules which daily follow the lambe and offer vp to God the holy sacrifice of praise and thankesgiuing for their redemption in the bloude of the Lambe saying Apoc. 7.12 Amen Praise and glorie and wisdome and thankes and honour and power and might be vnto God for euer more Amen These are they which came out of great tribulations saith the elder vnto Iohn and haue washed their robes white in the bloud of the Lambe Therfore are they in the presence of the throne of God and serue him day and night in his temple and hee that sitteth on the Throne will dwel among them This is not a paineful purgatorie for it followeth They shall hunger no more neither thirst any more neither shall the sunne light on them neither any heate therefore no hott purgatory fire for the Lamb which is in the midst of the Throne shall gouerne them and shall lead them vnto the liuely fountaines of waters and God shal wipe al teares away from their eyes Behold hÃ©ere a most blessed felicitie god grant vs al that be hÃ©ere to day if it be his blessed will to be partakers hereof And now somthing to say of this reuerend person whose christian corps doth lye yet before vs according to the truth of his demerit with man for whose sake we are hÃ©ere assembled Somewhat I knew the man my selfe But I am further assured of him by such as doe not fawne but truly feare the Lord That he was according to gods prouidence born vnto Christ he hath bÃ©ene trained vp in Christianity mercifully called from the pestilent sinke of popery and from his first fÃ©eling of Christ hath euer coÌ„stantly in heart embraced true religion and very comfortably made confession therof in the whole course of his life so as his handworking hath borne good testimonie of his belÃ©euing heart and hath so vprightly receiued these great blessings cast vnto him of God that this offer is made by such as it doth most concerne If any man bee able iustly to charge him to haue at any time willingly done wroÌ„g to him or by brybery in his office to haue enriched himselfe vppon due proofe hereof Zacheus tribute shall bÃ©e paide vnto him that is he shal be restored foure fold And though this man had his imperfectioÌ„s with the sons of god yet he comfortably felt his beatitude in his sauiour Christ euen the forgiuenes of his sins in the mercy of God through him therefore as he liued a partaker of the first resurrection so hee ended this life without feare of the seconde death And as he saw with holy Symeon the Lord Christ to be onely his saluation So we may pronounce of him with good confidence that his soule doth rest in peace And no doubt it is taken vp of Angels vnto the mount Syon the citie of the liuing God the celestiall Ierusalem Heb. 12.22 and to the companie of innumerable Angels and to the congregation of the first born which are written in heauen and to god the iudge of all and to Iesus the mediator of the newe Testament and to the bloude of sprinkling that speaketh better things then that of Habell For it asketh vengeance more forcibly to the wicked and promiseth life and pardon most assuredly to the sonnes of GOD. Wherefore to thÃ©e our deare father our sauiour Christ and the holy ghost thrÃ©e persons distinct but one immortall god be all glorie wisedome thankes honor power and might for euer more Amen Laudes Deo per Christum seruatorem nostrum
