young Heretick A child of eight years old was by them scourged to death for Religion and a boy under twelve years condemned for the six Articles yea Popish cruelty forbears not either to bury the quick p. 816. as one Marion was condemned to be buryed alive or to unbury the dead by violating of their graves digging out the bodies and burning them thus they dealt with the bodies of Bucer Fagius Wickliff c.

one who had himself been an Idolater The Divel loves to wound Religion in the house of her friend and with her own hands and weapons to make Cromwell a Protestant to sentence a Godly Lambert to death Oh how it delights him to overcome Scripture by alledging not of the Alcoran but the Scripture And as he here dealt with the body so he still deals with the Books and Writings of Gods Moses's the men of God For as he fain would have made him who was the greatest enemy in the world to Idolatry while living to have been the greatest occasion of it when dead so still he contends by Hereticks that they who have been the renowned opposers of Heresie in their life time should be accounted the greatest Patrons of it when dead Thus the Papists contend that the Fathers Augustine Ambrose c. are theirs and for their opinions Thus the Pelagians of our time that Augustin Bucer Vid. John Goodwin Sion Colledg vi sited Ball are for free-will But he much more contends and had rather that a living then a dead Moses shoud be a stumbling block to others If one who is holy may thinks he be useful to me by his dust and relicks how much more by his falls his scandals his corrupt examples Of all others let those who fear God take most heed of giving advantage to Satan When without their knowledg or consent they are by Satan only made advantageous to him it should be their sorrow but when they make themselves so it is their great sin 12. Observ 12. The worst persons are oft compelled both to have and express an high opinion of Gods faithful servants Even Moses one who was a great opposer of and greatly opposed by the Divel is yet secretly by this cursed enemy greatly honoured Yea the people who in Moses his life time would have ston'd him would and Satan knew it too after his death have Idoliz'd him Our blessed Lord when he was murdered by his enemies was by some of them voiced a Just man Luke 18.18 Act. 24.25 Mat. 11.19 the young man calls him Good Master even bloody Herod reverenced the Baptist and Felix trembles at the preaching of Paul Wisdome shall sometimes be justified not only by her children but even by her sworn enemies The father of Lies when he alledgeth Scripture to overthrow it strongly argues that it is the strongest weapon and hath greatest power over the conscience God delights to put a secret honour upon his Saints and wayes and to make even those who love them not to praise them Many lewd livers strictly enjoyn their children to be more Religious Every Saint may be encouraged in Holiness God will often make its greatest opposers to exto● it and when in their words they revile it in their conferences they shall commend it The praise of an enemy is equivalent to an universal good report In short Let sinners seriously consider how they can answer this dilemma at the last day If the wayes and people of God were bad why did you so much as commend them if good why did you not more imitate them also If Christ were not a good Master why did the young man call him so if he were why did he not follow him 13. Observ 13. The greatest respect that wickedones manifest toward a Godly Moses is when he is dead While Moses was living he was in danger of being destroyed now dead of being adored by the Israelites Joram when Elisha was living opposed him but when dead laments over him in that pathetical speech My father 2 Kin● 13.14 my father the chariots of Israel and the horsemen thereof Saul disobeyes and rejects Samuel when living but when dead he with great pains though no profit endeavors to recal to enquire of him They build and garnish the Sepulchers of the Prophets when dead Luke 11.47 whom living their fathers led by the same Spirit destroyed God often makes the worth of his servants to be known by the want of them and shewes when they are gone that they who in their life time were accounted the plagues and troublers were indeed the Preservers and Peace makers of Israel They shall then know saith Ezekiel Ezek 33.33 that they have had a Prophet among them And it s a work of little cost and of much credit to extol the dead The wicked are not troubled and molested in their wayes of sin by departed Saints Samson could take honey out of that dead Lion with which he fought when living and which he slew because it ror'd upon him The living who rore and lift up their voices against mens sins and labour to rend them from their corruptions shall be persecuted but when dead voiced up to advance the reputation of those who praise them for sweet and blessed men of God The Papists and many common Protestants who speak highly of Christ and call him their sweet Saviour had they lived in his dayes and heard him preach against their Lusts would have hated him as much as nay more then now they hate those who have but a drop of his fountain of holiness And indeed if a Moses a servant of God in his life time please wicked men it is commonly because he is too like a dead man not so quick and lively against their Lusts as he should It s not the Idolizing but the imitating of the Saints that shews our love either to God or them This for the second part of this verse the strife or contention it self The third followes viz. the carriage and deportment of the Archangel in this combate And first to speak thereof as it 's set down Negatively in respect of his inward disposition so it 's said that he durst not bring a rayling accusation EXPLICATION Two things are here to be considered in the Explication 1.

slaying and death shall benefit the Saint Worldly enjoyments are given us that we by them should testifie our love to God not by them to got assurance of Gods love to us Oh how slender an evidence of heaven is that with which so ordinarily men go to hel Thou canst only understand that the heart of God is set upon thee by finding that thine is set upon him The least dram of Grace is an earnest of heaven The greatest sum of outward enjoyments amounts not to the least part of payment or pledg of happiness 8. Observ 8. They who are corrupt in their judgment go in the way of cruelty Not to intimate what some have said of cruel Cain that he was the first Heretick sure I am he was after the Divel the first Murderer and these Seducers were as full of hatred as they were of Error They went in the way of Cain They were cruel to souls which by their Errors they poisoned and destroyed cruel to the names and dignities of their Superiors of whom they speak evil They were as the Apostle speaks afterward 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 fierce and raging waves ver 13 such as uttered hard speeches ver 15. against the Godly especially Ministers who opposed them in their way of sin Not to speak of the cruelty of Idolaters recorded in the Old Testament as of Pharaoh H●man Ahab Jezabel Manasseh not yet converted Nebuchadnezzar Antiochus nor of the Heathenish Emperors within the first 300 years after Christ by which Tyrants the Apostles suffered violent death and whosoever made profession of their Doctrine were cruelly murdered of Nero Domitian Trajan Antonius Verus Hadrian who crucified Ten thousand Christians in one Mount of the last of the Ten Persecutions wherein in the space of one Month were slain seventeen thousand Martyrs I say to pass by these What lively Expositions upon this Text and the cruelty of Cain have the bloody actions of those been who would have been counted of the Church nay the only Church and friends and brethren to the members thereof as Cain was brother to Abel I might here relate what Ecclesiastical History mentions concerning the cruelty of the Arian Hereticks Theod. l. 1. c. 29. their banishing and false accusing of Meletius and Eustatius Bishops of Antioch and Athanasius of Alexandria the latter of whom hardly escaped with his life l. 5. c. 21.
