Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts and let him return unto the Lord c. I Have heretofore begun the Doctrine of the Thoughts of men Now I desire to finish it Whence we had this Point that Doctr. Those whose minds run habitually on earthly things are yet in the state of misery First Because a man is in the state of misery till he hath repented Now until a man have forsaken his old thoughts that man hath not repented Oh Jerusalem wash thy heart Jer. 4. 14. A man must not only rid himself of vain thoughts but he must wash his heart clean with this Emphasis That he may be saved No salvation without this How long shall vain thoughts lodge within thee 2. As a man is in the state of misery till he have repented so also till he is in Christ Now when a man is led by his own vain thoughts his thoughts being not sanctified so long that man is not in Christ if he were in Christ Christ would sanctifie his thoughts I but may some man say He hath wronged me ergo I will think thus and thus Nay but Christ casteth down the strong holds and if thou wilt not yield Christ will cast thee off but if thou belong to Christ he will cast all down before thee 3. That man is in the state of misery that doth not love God that walks not with God in his thoughts Thou shalt love the Lord thy God c. Mat. 22. 37. So I do sayes one and yet I think on my vanities too And thus carnal men think they love God But if thou love God with all thy heart thou lovest him with all that is in thy heart for what is a mans heart but the purposes of his heart Now if a man give not over vain purposes he loves not God with all his heart 4. That man that cannot forsake sinne is in the state of misery and can never enter into life see the Text the wicked must forsake his wayes A man must deny his own words and speak according to Gods own warrant the actions of mens lives are the wayes of their thoughts the Tongue must not only forsake his way but the

he is too precise and too holy as if it were not a mans excellency to be pure and zealous and to serve God But I tell thee if thou count it not thine honor to be forward for God and to be nicknamed for Christ thine excellency to lie in this that thou art godly and heavenly thon art a proud fool when John Husse was to write upon the Epistle of Saint Iames he counted it such an high office of dignity that he was confounded at his owne indignity saying unto God Hei mihi laudare to contremisco he counted it such an honour to doe any thing for God that he was ashamed at his owne vildnesse O my brethren God is called the excellency of Jacob it was not their valour nor wisedome but this was their excellency that God was their God thy riches are proud riches if thy excellency lie in them more then in God if thou dost not go about every commandement as thine excellency thy obedience is proud This is a third signe of a heart brokeu from sin if it be broken from its pride A Funerall SERMON Preached by That laborious and faithfull Messenger of CHRIST WILLIAM FENNER Sometimes Fellow of Pembroke Hall in Cambridge and late Minister of Rochford in Essex A FUNERAL SERMON ISAI 57. 1. The righteous perish and no man layeth it to heart mercifull men are taken away none considering that the righteous are taken away from the evill to come IN the end of the former chapter the Prophet reproveth the speciall sinne of Idol shepheards who followed their own pleasures and profits not regarding their flock Now he reproves the generall sin of security in the people and namely in this that whereas the righteous perish yet no man layeth it to heart and mercifull men are taken away none considering c. This verse is a complaint of the Prophet touching the people in generall for that they considered not the Iudgements of God upon them in taking away the righteous from among them In the words themselves we are to consider First the work of the Lord viz. the righteous perisheth and merciful men are taken way Secondly the peoples sin in not considering it not regarding this work of the Lord which is that the righteous may be delivered from the evill to come By righteous is here meant not such as are legally righteous by the workes of the law for so no man is righteous but by righteous is here meant such as are Evangelically righteous by the righteonsnesse of faith in the Gospell Perisheth that is from the earth for otherwise the righteous perish not No man considering that is no man lamenting mourning or grieving for the losse of them The first thing then to be considered is from the first part and it is plaine out of the words of the text That all men must dye even the most holy and most righteous for they are all subject to the stroak of bodily death as well as the wicked There is no remembrance saith Solomon of the wise more then of the fool and how dyeth the wise man even as the fool Eccles 2. 16. so Zacha. 1. 5. Your farhers where are they and the Prophets doe they live for ever so that we see Prophets and fathers dye as well as other men yea those Worthies recorded in the Scripture Noah Abraham David c. they are all gone the same way they are all dead The first reason is because it is appointed unto all men once to dye and after that comes the judgement Heb. 9. 27. God hath thus decreed it and therefore itmust be so Secondly because all men and women are of the dust and therefore must return to the dust again dust thou art saith God and unto dust thou shalt return Gen. 3. 19. Thirdly because all have sinned even the most righteous man now the wages of sin is death Rom. 6. 23. the most righteous man must dye Fourthly because as death came into the world by sin Rom. 5. 12. so sin must goe out of the world by death and therefore it is needful that the righteous die that so they may be freed from sin Object But some may object and say hath not Christ abolished death why then do the righteous die Answ I answer he hath abolished death as he hath abolished sin now he hath not taken sin quite away from us for we see it doth still remain in us neither hath he quite abolished death from the righteous for we see they all dye but hee abolished the dominion of sin so that it doth no longer raign in us and so hee hath taken away the dominion of death so that it doth not rage as a Tyrant over us so that it is not hurtfull unto us as a punishment but as a means to convey us into a better life Christ hath taken away the sting both of sin and death though not the things themselves away from us yet he will one day free us from them both so then the righteous must suffer death as well as the wicked though not in the same kind Let no man then look to be exempted from death for his righteousnesse nor from any outward miseries that may befall the sons of Adam nay if we are the servants of Christ we must look for a greater share in these then other men greater crosses greater afflictions greater sicknesse and harder pangs of death do oft befall the righteous as it did unto this our brother who though he were old and stricken in yeers yet the pangs of death were strong upon him Those whom God will make heires of Eternall life he suffers them to have a greater portion in these afflictions But the wicked are fat and full and die with their bones full of marrow as Job speakes they commonly have little sicknesse and an easie death but the godly do ordinarily undergoe greater pangs let none therefore think that for his righteousnesse he shall be free Secondly consider we here how few amongst us have learned this Arithmetique namely to number our dayes and they are but short even a span long who is there almost that thinkes on death who prepares himselfe for it and yet all even the most righteous must die for God hath placed that fiery blade of death at the entrance into the Paradise of heaven so that none can enter before they taste of death and all must taste of it yea the most righteous are not exempted from the stroak of death This then should teach us to labour to draw our hearts from the love of this present life and what can better perswade us and wean us from the love of this world then a due consideration of death wee know we must all die and therefore we should prepare our selves for it If any prophane person amongst us knew that this night must be his last night and that now hee had no longer to live would not this amaze him and make him bethink himselfe and to prepare for death If
