in sin where none was how much more increase it where he findes it Also to suspect him in his sweet enchantments and when hee attempts our Eue that is our sensuall part ouerthrowing our Adam and iudgement thereby then to handle him roughly knowing him by his messenger not to be far off Besides beware of an aspiring heart discontent with our portion and estate If Adam had argued thus To what a dignity hath my Creator raised me from the dust who am I poore earth earth earth he had stood firme but now looking about him and setting vp his bristles lo pride causes his ruine Oh! how safe are we while we are vnder And lastly from Eue and Adam Pro. 1â— 18 Vlt. let us learne not to trust our selues too farre in our privations that we intend no euill but be we armed also aswell against euill of all sorts lest it be with vs as if we had nothing at all in vs. Let vs beware of dalliance and admitting parlee with temptations of sensuality lest we fare as Samson by Delila and would faine get off the hooke Iudg. 16.16 but cannot being snared Thus men thinke it cannot be dangerous to admire praise and accompany beautifull women to thrust themselues into the company of fine fellowes in their pleasures and to rush our selues upon snares of deep worldly businesse They purpose not to be catcht they say til their wings be singed with their venturing so neer the brinke and then they struggle in vaine Better had it beene for them to haue beene birds with wings and so in vaine should the not haue beene spred for them And to end this vse how should the description of Adams sinne for euer feare us from slighting it We esteeme it by the outward act but that which makes it so odious is the Attendant fearefull circumstance of it To let fall a piece of coine into the diâ—tâ—is little but to throw it and stampe it vnder our feet in scorne is treason Not to giue all to the vse of the Church being ouâ—s is nothing but to withdraw it being Gods with a lye to the holy Ghost is mortal Oh the sin of Adam is inexcusable I committed in the full strength of grace in the fulnes of all Paradise contentment needlesly for a trifle when there was no sinne to draw them and the like Vse 2 Secondly Let it bee instruction to shew vs what little wonder there is to bee made that now in our corrupt estate the abundance of gifts blessings encouragements good helpes of nature education art nay holy ordinances of God granted vs for the better do not profit 1000 shillings nay turne to cuâ—â—upt Surely if Adam in all his excellency yet by meere absence of confirming grace could abuse his free will to so fearefull a fall we neede not wonder that in this state of his necessary misery hee profits so little by all helpes no wisedome or righteousnes of his could free him then and shall the want of both help him now Man is set vp by God and yet is a beast The Cat was once made a Queen but in her glory she hunts after a mouse Vse 3 Thirdly Blesse God that in his second grace by Christ he changed old Adams perfection into a better and surer from a selfe-subsistence in grace according to our owne freedome to a subsisting in another betrusting vs no more with our owne Treasure but keeping it vnder the locke and key of his owne power in Christ So yet looke what we come short of Adam in the measure of grace in this life wee go beyond him in the vnchangeablenesse for alas how little are we fit to be trusted with all but we would lauish it if vnder our owne keeping The Lord is fayne to humble vs rather vnder the burden of our infirmities and corruptions because we are not heere capable of any great matter Being so vnfaithfull in the smaller who should trust vs with the great treasure Lastly it teaches vs to esteeme highly of the grace of self-deniall as beeing the contrary grace to Adams corruption For he fell by too much trusting himselfe wee stand by the grace of selfe-renouncing And it s not amisse to consider how iustly the greatest penalty of man stands in the losse of his freewill and in the slauery of the will to sinne because this freedome abused caused his ruine So fearefull is the error of them that maintaine that man hath still free will in himselfe remayning to that which is good Art 3 Q. Was there no other thing to make vp his misery saue onely his fall A.
