a half heart is no heart Aut totum honora aut totum abjice God loves not a sleepy service N. 〈◊〉 z. Awake thou that sleepest and call upon thy God God loves not an unmannerly service he is not proud he delights that thou shouldst walk with him but let not condiscension lift up thy heart for he requires thou shouldst walk humbly with him M●● God would not have his Spouse to be gaw●y ga●ish and painted but he loves to have her decent not in a new ●a●hion but in a Matron-like and ancient order He that will have her glorious within will not have her sluttish without 〈◊〉 ●6 14 She shall be brought to the King in a rayment of needle-work not masked as to externals but one part of decency joyned and woven with another How dreadful is thy dwelling-place O God how carefully must we enter thy presence Chamber How must we long to hear thy Will imparted to us How must we fear to impart our wants unto thee If our Petition be rude how can we expect a gracious reference How shall not we deport our selves with reverence when we have to deal with a holy God in a holy place on a holy day to do a holy duty knowing that i● these duties the Tempter comes unto us c. God sayes Honour thy Father and thy Mother but 〈◊〉 Tempter ran from the mouth of Christ quote Scripture and acquit thee from this obligation Mary in the mouth of her Son is no more then Woman and that not with obedience but objurgation What have I to do with thee Jo. 2.4 What say we to this bait doth he who teacheth this Commandment disdain his Mother The giver of the Precept is he a president for the breach Let Reverend Bishop Hall answer this Objection Bish Hall In all bodily actions his stile was Mother in spiritual and heavenly Woman she was the Mother of his flesh his Deity was eternal that part which he took from her shall observe her she must observe that nature which was above her as that nature made him a Son and Man so that nature made her both a Woman and a Mother God as thy heavenly Father calls for fear the King as Pater patriae calls for honour Fear God and bonour the King the Conjunction couples them Whom God hath put together let no man put asunder The spiritual Fathers so sayes Saint Paul Vos genui in Evangelio I have begotten you in the Gospel claim an honour let them have a double portion of the spirit of your honour Thy natural Father calls or obedience Can the Mother forget her affection Shall the Child forget his duty Can the Parent forget his care Shall the Child not crave a blessing Blesseme even me also my Father And now am I come to that great temptation which hath been and is too common in our bloody dayes God sayes Thou shalt do no murder Thou shalt not shed the blood of thy brother under the Gospel who might not eat the blood of the beast under the Law The Tempter comes yea hath God said so and hath no small store of provocations and pretences to the breach of this Commandement The first and most unfortunate quarrel was the Tempters when in Paradise he prevailed with our first Parents to rebel against God this quarrel from the mouth of God that sharp-edged sword did produce no lesse then death Morte morieris in this Duel Man being instigated by the Tempter lost the field and in this rebellion was the whole posterity tainted and without the satisfaction of that blessed and powerful second Adam wholly and finally destroyed and as if t●ls had not been a too sufficient witness of his malice against man The Tempter starteth another quarell betwixt two brothers when there was none to rescue Here was the first ●nhappy field wherein Cain spills the blood of his brother Abel provoked by this grand murderer because his brothers sacrifice was better accepted he cannot rest till the innocent blood of his brother be sacrificed to his malice Cain made himself drunk with revenge and now that deadly draught doth so distract him that he proceedeth to dispair and now his guilt as clamorous as the act makes him cry out My sin is greater then can be pardoned passing from the ●in against a finite creature to sinne against the inexhausted mercy of an infinite and eternal Majesty Thus hell tempting him ●o this hainous act bequeaths its horror to him which whatsoever way he looks still stands before him And still this Tempter as if blood were his business continueth his course he hath now charactered Cain in the chequered colours red and black blood and despaire his next piece must be to set a difference betwixt Jacob and Esau these struggling in the womb must not be quiet in the world That the Devil therefore may become a perfect dueller he without doubt appoints the place in Cain the field now the time in Esau The day of mourning for his Father to be the day of murdering his Brother which purposed and heart-murder being prevented by a great providence as if the Tempter were ingaged to prosecute in the defence of his servant Esau he sowes a dissent betwixt the children of Jacob and patches a conspiracy amongst the brethren to kill Joseph still more blood what pretence can this furious fiend have for his acting horrid enemy how coul●st thou design a duel betwixt God and man the Potter and the ●lay How durst thou attempt this affront against the Maker of mankind How canst thou glos●e or any way excuse the lifting up Cains hand against his brother Esaus heart against Jacob and all the brethrens voices against Joseph 〈◊〉 thou ●●●st out rebellion and interlines reasons thou bl●●●●● out di●obedience towards God and settest down advan●● into man Eat says God and thou shalt die Eat saies S●● and thou shalt be as Gods which do not die Thou blot●●● murder and writest in Cains neare a copy of discretion justice and of policy There 's none stands in comperition with the onely Abel what obstruction to the acceptance of my offering why dost thou not remove him and then thy tender will be received Besotted Cain couldst thou be tempted to believe that the blood in the field smelled sweeter then the fruit of the ground Thou blottest out murder in Esau and tells him it is justice Has not Jacob supplanted thee in thy birth right and in thy blessing what 's thy life unto thee if he lives he will again dissemble is it not justice to stop his breath who stole thy blessing how can it be counted murd nor revenge or construed cruelty to put a period to his dayes who hath supplanted thee in thy enjoyments Thou blo●test out murder in the false brethren and though in Letters of blood thou writest Reason great cause why Joseph should be slain first he is a tel●ale Gen.
