of him will I be ashamed when I come in my Fathers Glory and mine own Glory and the Glory of the holy Angels Oh Sirs one of these dayes the Lord will break out of Heaven with a * 1 Thes 4.16 shout accompanied with † Jude 14. myriads of Angels and ten thousands of his Saints those glistering Courtiers of Heaven * 2 Pet. 3.10 the Heavens and Earth in a dreadful conflagration round about him † Joh. 5.28 the Graves shall open the Sea and the Earth give up their dead * Mat. 25.31 Thou shalt see him ascend the awful seat of Judgement † 1 Cor. 6.2 his faithful Ones setting on the Bench as Assessors with him * Mat. 25.32 All flesh gathered before him † Joel 3.14 even multitudes multitudes in that Valley of Decision and then to be publickly disowned by him in the face of that great Assembly and proclaimed a Traytor and Delinquent to him that fearedst not to deny Him and betray his Truths into his enemies hands because of the Frowns of a poor Worm that shall die and be made as grass Oh what Confusion and everlasting Shame shall cover thee This this is the portion of all such from the hand of the Lord 2 Tim. 2.12 If we deny him he also will deny us 4. Consider ere thou let go thy Profession how remarkably the righteous Hand of Heaven hath met with and payed home the Apostate even in this life which nevertheless is but as a few drops upon them before the cloud dissolve and the whole storm falls but as the perboiling of them before they be roasted in the eternal Flames See what is become of Judas Mat. 27.3 4 5. compared with Acts 1.18 poor Spira though I determine not of his final state yet what a living monument of wrath was he whiles he lived I feel said he the very Torments of hell in my soul Lucian and Julian two scoffing Apostates the one torn to pieces by dogs the other when mortally wounded by a darr flings up his blood towards heaven in a way of revenge and crys Thou hast overcome O Galilean 5. Suppose thou escape such a stroak yet never expect a comfortable hour in this world any more unless the Lord give thee unfeigned repentance to life which in such cases is but seldom thou mayest have as much comfort in thy enjoyments here for which thou hast sold Christ as Judas had in his thirty pieces or Spira in his wife and children Mark 8 35. Whosoever will save his life shall lose it i.e. at least its comfort COUNSEL II. Touch not with Idolatry and Superstition under what name or notion soever it be presented to you 1 Joh. 5.21 Little Children keep your selves from Idols Here you had need be exceeding cautelous and * qui eavet ne decipatur vir cavet cum etiam cavet et cum cavisse ratus est sepe is cautor captus est circumspect 1. because it is a creeping thing which works in it self by plausable pretences and insinuations 2 Pet. 2.1 Ephes 4.14 Col. 2.23 In which respect Mystery is written in the Whores forehead Rev. 17.5 For as Dr. Usher well observes The Roman Apostacy stole into the Church disguised and by degrees It is a Mystery of Iniquity saith the Apostle and a working Mystery 2 Thes 2.7 Iniquitas sed mystica pietatis et fidelitatis nomine palliata i. e. Iniquity but a mystical iniquity because palliated and cloaked under the name and pretence of piety and fidelity Davenant in Loc. Idolatrous practices have a shew of wisdom Col. 2.23 i.e. saith Davenant on the the place They are more modest then to pretend an immediate revelation of the Spirit yet lest their placets and inventions should want a pretext of divine wisdom they are wont to say that their Doctrines and Traditions are not indeed consigned to writing by the Apostles but delivered by lively voice according to that We speak Wisdom among them that are perfect and by the name of this wisdom every one calls his own fictions Saith Ireneus Lib. 3. Cap. 3. Thus sometimes under the pretext of Wisdom Order Decency Apostolical Traditions Antiquity the power of the Church c. it steals upon men * Peditentem usu ipso et tacita doctorum approbatione expit esse in praecio hac estimationae sensim sine sensu crescente insensibly especially being so advantaged by the pronity of corrupt nature to it To this purpose it is observable that Babylon the Mother of Harlots is said Rev. 17.4 to give the Wine of her Fornication in a golden Cup. Wine in it self is temptingly pleasant but more when presented in a golden Cup the * Velati pueris absynthia tetra medentes cum dare conantur prius oras pocula circum contingunt dulci mellis flav●que liquote brims whereof are sugared and sweetned to make it the more grateful Therefore little Children I mean you simple plain credulous souls apt to be taken with fine glistering things look to your selves 2. because nothing more provokes and inflames the fierce Wrath of the Lord who is a jealous God than this doth it makes his anger to come up in his face as that expression is Ezek. 38.18 and kindles consuming wrath Ezek. 43.7 8 9. Upon this account the blessed God complains after the manner of men as if his heart were broken Ezek. 6.9 I am broken with their whorish heart and with their eyes which go a whoring after their Idols If it be but an unchaste glance upon an Idol it goes to the very heart of God when he seeth his People yielding to the temptations of it he shreeks as it were and crys out Oh do not this abominable thing that I hate Oh if there be in you the hearts of Children do not do that which doth as it were break the heart of your Father Quest But what mean you by Idolatry and Superstition we hope there are no such things practised among us Pagans and Papists may be guilty of it Sol.
