A12361	Iacobs ladder, or The high way to heauen Being the last sermon that Master Henry Smith made. And now published, not (as many forged things haue beene in his name) to deceiue the Christian reader, but to instruct and prepare him with oyle in his lampe, ioyfully to meete the Lord Iesus in his second comming.	Smith, Henry, 1550?-1591.	1595 (1595)	STC 22677; ESTC S122459	18,803	31

the_o time_n past_a be_v go_v and_o thou_o can_v not_o recall_v that_o to_o repent_v in_o the_o time_n to_o come_v be_v uncertain_a and_o thou_o can_v not_o assure_v that_o to_o repent_v in_o the_o present_a time_n be_v only_o thou_o and_o thou_o may_v repent_v in_o that_o but_o anon_o that_o will_v be_v go_v too_o therefore_o when_o christ_n weep_v over_o jerusalem_n he_o say_v o_o if_o thou_o have_v know_v in_o this_o thy_o day_n call_v none_o their_o day_n but_o this_o day_n if_o none_o can_v be_v call_v thy_o day_n but_o this_o day_n than_o this_o be_v thy_o day_n of_o repentance_n or_o else_o thou_o have_v none_o at_o al._n therefore_o one_o resemble_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n to_o the_o pool_n in_o jury_n where_o the_o sick_a and_o leprous_a lay_n for_o at_o one_o time_n of_o the_o day_n a_o angel_n come_v and_o stir_v the_o water_n and_o 2._o then_o he_o which_o step_v in_o first_o be_v heal_v of_o his_o disease_n he_o which_o step_v in_o first_o be_v heal_v none_o but_o he_o which_o step_v in_o first_o so_o he_o which_o take_v time_n be_v sure_a but_o he_o which_o foreslow_v time_n often_o fail_v than_o speed_v for_o when_o golden_a opportunity_n be_v past_a no_o time_n will_v fit_v for_o it_o yet_o as_o when_o christ_n go_v about_o to_o cast_v out_o 29._o devil_n they_o say_v that_o he_o torment_v they_o before_o the_o time_n so_o whensoever_o thou_o go_v about_o to_o dismiss_v thy_o sin_n and_o pleasure_n though_o thou_o stay_v till_o thou_o be_v sick_a and_o old_a and_o ready_a to_o die_v yet_o they_o will_v say_v still_o that_o thou_o dismisse_v they_o before_o the_o time_n but_o then_o be_v the_o time_n when_o the_o devil_n say_v the_o time_n be_v not_o yet_o for_o the_o devil_n be_v a_o liar_n and_o know_v that_o what_o liquour_n our_o vessel_n be_v season_v with_o at_o the_o first_o they_o will_v taste_v of_o the_o same_o ever_o after_o therefore_o linger_v not_o with_o lot_n for_o if_o the_o angel_n have_v not_o snatch_v he_o away_o he_o have_v perish_v with_o sodom_n for_o his_o delay_n they_o be_v not_o wise_a virgin_n but_o foolish_a virgin_n which_o seek_v not_o for_o oil_n before_o the_o bridegroom_n come_v samuel_n begin_v to_o serve_v god_n in_o his_o minority_n timothy_n read_v the_o 15_o scripture_n in_o his_o childhood_n john_n grow_v in_o spirit_n as_o he_o ripen_v in_o year_n so_o whether_o thou_o be_v old_a or_o young_a thy_o repentance_n can_v be_v too_o soon_o because_o thy_o sin_n be_v go_v before_o if_o thou_o lack_v a_o spur_n to_o make_v thou_o run_v see_v how_o every_o day_n run_v away_o with_o thy_o life_n youth_n come_v upon_o childhood_n age_n come_v upon_o youth_n death_n come_v upon_o age_n with_o such_o a_o swift_a sail_n that_o if_o our_o minute_n be_v spend_v in_o mortify_v ourselves_o yet_o our_o glass_n will_v be_v run_v out_o before_o we_o have_v purge_v half_o our_o corruption_n thus_o much_o of_o the_o first_o step_n the_o second_o step_n in_o your_o step._n journey_n be_v to_o keep_v the_o way_n as_o god_n teach_v the_o israelite_n a_o way_n to_o canaan_n send_v a_o fiery_a pillar_n before_o they_o which_o they_o do_v follow_v wheresoever_o it_o go_v so_o when_o he_o ordain_v a_o heaven_n for_o man_n he_o appoint_v a_o way_n to_o come_v unto_o it_o which_o way_n he_o that_o miss_v shall_v never_o come_v to_o the_o end_n as_o herod_n seek_v christ_n over_o all_o jury_n but_o none_o find_v he_o but_o those_o which_o follow_v the_o star_n so_o there_o be_v something_o still_o that_o lead_v man_n to_o christ_n which_o we_o must_v follow_v or_o else_o we_o can_v come_v where_o he_o be_v there_o be_v many_o wrong_a way_n as_o there_o be_v many_o error_n but_o there_o be_v but_o one_o right_a way_n as_o there_o be_v but_o one_o truth_n and_o therefore_o jacob_n do_v not_o see_v many_o but_o one_o ladder_n which_o reach_v to_o heaven_n and_o john_n baptist_n be_v say_v not_o to_o prepare_v the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o the_o way_n show_v that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o right_a way_n in_o this_o life_n which_o solomon_n understand_v for_o the_o mean_a and_o therefore_o he_o say_v turn_v not_o to_o the_o right_a hand_n nor_o to_o the_o left_a imply_v that_o we_o may_v err_v aswell_o of_o the_o right_a hand_n as_o of_o the_o left_a as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v some_o be_v too_o hot_a as_o other_o be_v too_o cold_a some_o be_v too_o superstitious_a as_o other_o be_v too_o careless_a some_o be_v too_o fearful_a as_o other_o be_v too_o confident_a there_o be_v as_o zeal_n without_o knowledge_n a_o love_n without_o singleness_n a_o prayer_n without_o faith_n and_o a_o faith_n without_o fruit_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n do_v warn_v we_o to_o examine_v whether_o we_o be_v in_o the_o faith_n not_o whether_o we_o have_v a_o kind_n of_o faith_n but_o whether_o we_o be_v in_o the_o faith_n that_o be_v the_o true_a faith_n therefore_o paul_n say_v run_v so_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o run_v but_o we_o must_v know_v how_o we_o run_v it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o hear_v but_o we_o must_v care_v how_o to_o hear_v it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o believe_v but_o we_o must_v care_v how_o we_o believe_v it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o pray_v but_o we_o must_v care_v how_o we_o pray_v it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o work_v but_o we_o must_v care_v how_o we_o work_v for_o we_o can_v do_v good_a unless_o we_o do_v it_o well_o as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o this_o example_n cain_n offer_v and_o god_n abhor_v because_o he_o care_v not_o for_o the_o manner_n god_n care_v not_o for_o his_o offering_n simon_n magus_n believe_v herod_n listen_v foelix_n fear_v saul_n obey_v jesabell_n fast_v the_o pharisee_n pray_v but_o because_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v so_o hear_v so_o fear_v so_o obey_v so_o fast_o so_o &_o pray_v so_o as_o he_o which_o say_v learn_v of_o i_o when_o they_o say_v that_o they_o have_v fast_v &_o pray_v and_o obey_v christ_n he_o will_v answer_v they_o as_o he_o do_v in_o matthew_n i_o know_v you_o not_o therefore_o if_o you_o ask_v like_o the_o scribe_n how_o you_o shall_v come_v to_o heaven_n the_o right_a way_n to_o heaven_n be_v the_o word_n which_o come_v from_o heaven_n but_o here_o some_o will_v say_v the_o word_n indeed_o do_v contain_v the_o right_a way_n but_o many_o can_v find_v that_o way_n without_o a_o guide_n therefore_o i_o have_v pick_v out_o of_o the_o word_n that_o way_n which_o god_n call_v the_o right_a way_n the_o way_n which_o the_o word_n do_v set_v thou_o in_o to_o heaven_n be_v to_o do_v unto_o other_o as_o thou_o will_v have_v other_o do_v unto_o thou_o to_o exercise_v good_a work_n and_o yet_o believe_v that_o christ_n work_n shall_v save_v thou_o to_o pray_v without_o doubt_v and_o yet_o be_v content_a that_o thy_o prayer_n be_v not_o grant_v to_o keep_v within_o thy_o call_n and_o do_v nothing_o by_o contention_n to_o bring_v thy_o will_n unto_o god_n will_n and_o suffer_v for_o christ_n because_o he_o have_v suffer_v for_o thou_o to_o repent_v not_o only_o for_o thy_o open_a and_o gross_a fault_n but_o for_o to_o count_v every_o sin_n great_a to_o apply_v all_o thing_n to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o of_o every_o thing_n to_o make_v some_o use_n thus_o the_o word_n go_v before_o we_o like_o the_o fiery_a pillar_n and_o show_v we_o when_o we_o be_v in_o and_o when_o we_o be_v out_o or_o else_o the_o broad_a way_n will_v seem_v the_o best_a way_n and_o therefore_o all_o which_o care_v not_o for_o the_o word_n go_v like_o blind_a man_n to_o hell_n for_o heaven_n look_v but_o to_o the_o papist_n which_o have_v the_o word_n in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n some_o clamber_v to_o heaven_n with_o merit_n some_o by_o angel_n some_o by_o penance_n and_o some_o by_o pardon_n and_o every_o man_n have_v a_o way_n by_o himself_o and_o all_o out_o of_o the_o way_n as_o naaman_n answer_v elisha_n when_o he_o be_v command_v to_o wash_v himself_o in_o jordan_z be_v not_o abanah_n and_o pharpar_n river_n of_o damascus_n better_a than_o jordan_z may_v i_o not_o wash_v there_o and_o be_v heal_v so_o they_o say_v be_v not_o pardon_n as_o good_a as_o work_n be_v not_o pilgrimage_n as_o good_a as_o prayer_n be_v not_o sacrifice_v as_o good_a as_o obedience_n be_v not_o read_v as_o good_a as_o preach_v may_v i_o not_o go_v to_o heaven_n this_o way_n and_o that_o way_n as_o well_o as_o by_o the_o word_n no_o as_o no_o water_n but_o jordan_z can_v cleanse_v naamans_n leprosy_n so_o no_o way_n but_o the_o word_n can_v bring_v to_o heaven_n for_o which_o cause_n the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v call_v the_o way_n of_o
