29. 5. Forbidden hypocrisie vaine glorie c. Mat. 6. 5. 1. Cor. 13. 3. Phi. 1. 16. and 2. 3. Sobrietie in affection is to holde them in so that they passe not measure 2. Tim. 1. 6. 1. Tit. 8. Thus much of feeling The second thing in practise is the outward work when from the inward feeling the members of the body execute Rom. 6. 12. 13. Rom. 12. 1. The want of this forbidden Iam. 1. 26. 27. To all this is commaunded Perseuerance Eph. 6. 10. Watchfulnes Eph. 6. 10. Perseuerance is alwayes to continue and goe forwarde in dooing good and fleeing euill Ezech. 18. 25. 1. Colos 10. To this is contrarie a stay or going backwarde Gal. 5 Watchfulnesse is a continuall care with ourselues that wee be readily prepared as we ought to practise good and resist euill which is set foorth Ephe. 6. 10. 18. 1. Cor. 16. 13. 1. Thes 5. 6. Marke 13. 35. In this is forbidden no continuance no care too little to slake c. Gen. 3. Eue. Dauid 2. Sam. 11. 1. 2. 3. 1. Thes 5. 3. 6. The remedie of our sinnes in these is Christ his death with his knowledge Luk. 2. 52. With his feeling Iohn 4. 34. With his zeale Iohn 2. 17. His continuance in obedience throughout his life Iohn 17. 4. His watchfulnes Mat. 4. 4. 10. as well to take away the guiltinesse and punishment of the sinne and to impute freely the obedience and blessing as to giue power to kill the sinne and quicken vs to obedience 1. Cor. 5. 21. Rom. 6. 2. 3. 4. 5. c. Thus much of that whiche is generallie forbidden and commaunded in the body of the Lawe Nowe followeth what is generally in the diuision generall of the lawe The whole Lawe is diuided by the Lord him selfe into two tables The first doeth contayne those dueties which we owe to him directly in his seruice Deut. 4. 13. and Exod. 34. 1. 2. The second which we owe vnto our brethren Mat. 22. 36. Rom. 13. 8. 9. In this diuision wee are charged twoo thinges First that to perfect obedience of the Lawe we should bring these two sortes of dueties sounde and whole as those whiche then onely are pleasing vnto God when they are found togither Mich. 6. 7. 8. 1. Ioh. 5. 2. and 4. 20. 21. Here then is forbidden the seuering of them as some will so delight in exercise of religion as they will neglect other dueties towardes men as Maisters Fathers Magistrates c. And some seeke so to please these in seuerall dueties as they neglect too much the other as reading of the Lawe of God hearing the word preached and calling it to minde beeinge hearde c. Both which are condemned as vngodly and vniust Rom. 24. 26. Tit. 1. 4. The forgiuenesse of this sin is had in Christ who was condemned as a blasphemer this righteousnes is imputed to vs from him Iohn 17. 1. 34. 5. 6. c. Heb. 5. 7. 8. And with this grace the other to be godly and iust is alwayes giuen Tit. 2. 13. aud 12. 13. Hence we are taught that feeling some readines vnto godlinesse we should turne our selues also to endeuour to worke iustice and contrarie the seconde thing commaunded in this diuision is we should preferre loue delight c. The dueties we owe to God before those we owe to men Mat. 22. 36. 1. Sam. 13. 11. 12. The remedie in Christ accused as a blasphemer yet sought the glorie of his Father not his Iohn 2. 17. 18. This mercie maketh vs come to this duetie Actes 4. 18. 19. Here we must often marke howe by stealth we shall be drawne to the ouer louing fearing c. of men in time resist it Hitherto what is commanded and forbidden generallie in the Lawe Nowe followeth the particulars in the first table In the firste Table are commaunded duties vnto the Lorde which we owe euery day that are to his person directly Com. 1. or to his worship the partes 2. cō the true maner of vsing thē 3. or one in seauen In the first commaundement Exod. 20. 2. 3. verse we must consider first the reason then the precept I am the Lorde thy God I take this to be a reason of the next verse F●r if it were a precept it should redounde seeing the cōtrarie being forbidden in that which followeth this is cōmaunded thereby also 2. It is not like the other 3. hauing reasons annexed this the first and the chiefest should wante 3. A generall authorizing of the lawe went before Wee maye note the reasons are added to shewe vs our sinne the better when we shall see we haue broken not a bare precept but a precept perswaded by such vnanswerable reasons Also that when we rise by Christ we might not onely be taught what to doo but bee allured to it Thy Lord. This worde Iehoua noteth out his being eternall infinite beginning and ending of all thinges Exod. 3. 14. Reuel 1. 8. By this it appeareth this Lawe appertayneth to all because he is the Lorde of all Thy God that is one who doeth vouchsafe thee a peculiar fauour when in thy creatiō he indued thee with corporall and spirituall benefites and doeth enritch thee vnto eternall life Psal 144. 15. Heb. 8. 10. Ezec. 36. 26. 32. Luke 37. 38. Heb. 11. 16. By this appeareth that neither we nor the Iewes had promises of this lyfe onely lastly that the true fountaine of subiection vnto God is this assurance He is our God Iosua 24. 16. Rom. 12. 1. 1. Pet. 2. 1. Which broght By this we are taught the better to nourishe the former roote of obedience to call often to remembrance the particular benefites of God By this appeareth that the Lawe was giuen to the Iewes vs not onelie to bring vs vnto Christe but also to allure instruct vs to obedience when Christ is receyued Thus much of the reason Nowe followeth the commaundement Thou shalt haue no straunge or other Gods before me To haue an other God is to sett vp an other whom we will acknowledge to be of power of goodnes iustice of some excellent nature and therefore feare loue reuerence hang on him in all estates Deut. 26. 17. 18. As they looke for him to bee their God as aboue so that where this is wanting eyther on the part of God or the people they are called without God Ephe. 2. 12. Not his people Ose 1. 9. This the Lord forbiddeth to be attributed vnto any but his owne Maiestie because he onely is the Lord our God and by this forbiddinge commaundeth the contrary that he onely should be acknowledged God hee alone so loued feared reuerenced c. In this commaundement therefore we are firste commaunded the true knowledge of one true God then the confidence and loue feare c. whiche is to bee giuen to his person The true knowledge of the true God is to knowe his nature spirituall infinite pure constant most simple c. his properties
wyues children seruauntes priuately at home Deu. 6. 7. Psal 1. 1. 119. 55. The Sacramentes also hath he giuen not to be neglected as most excellent pledges of his sure fauour and mercie in Christ Rom. 4. 11. and 6. 3. 4. Ephe. 5. 26. 1. Cor. 11 23. The order of his Church set downe in his worde Heb. 3. 2. 1. Chron. 28 12 19. 2. Chron. 29. 25. and 1. Chro. 15. 13. 1. Co. 9. 8 For ruling of his Church by his worde Rulers who haue the care of soules committed to them Heb. 13. 17. Iames 5. 14. Actes 14. 23. And some of them to labor also in the worde one by teaching an other by exhorting some to attende vnto maners watchinge ouer the people to admonishe them to comfort them to praye with them when they bee in distresse c. and to ioyne with the others in the rest of the gouerning of the Church 1. Tim. 5. 17. 1. Cor. 12. 28. Rom. 12. 8. Ephe. 4. 11 1. Thes 5. 12. 13. 14. Iames 5. 41. 1. Tim. 4. 14. Act. 15. 6. 21. 18. Mat. 18. 17. Also for the better relieuing of the poore distributers of the Church reliefe Act. 6. 2. Rō 12. 8. 1. Tim. 3. 7. c. All which wee muste knowe delight in it procure and euerie one according to his calling sett forwarde as Psal 27. 4. 42. 23. 1. Chron. 13. 1. 29 6 7 8 9. c. 2. Chron. 15. 3. 12. 13. 29. 30 Hag. 1. 4. 14. In all these thinges commaunded forbidden we may easily feele seuerall sinnes and corruptions by due examination of our selues seuerallie in euerie one but Christe hath by his death satisfied for our sinnes Rom. 4 25. and hath bene zealous in the obedience of the partes of this lawe that in him we may haue perfect obediēce yet so as by his death we more and more dye vnto these sinnes and by his resurrection be made liuely to serue the Lord sincerely according to his will Ioh. 2. 14. 15. Mark 7. 34. Math. 26. 38. 27. 30. 2. Cor. 6. 14. to the second verse of cap. 7 Hitherto of the commaundement it selfe Now foloweth the reason which is drawn from a double propertie of the Lorde his Ielousie in wrath and his mercie For I the Lord thy God i Euen then being ioyned vnto thee by my mercifull couenaunt as a husband to his wife Chap. 19. 6. A strong God The first title is added to note his great power to doe what hee will so that being preswaded in the firste propertie of his readinesse to punishe and in the second of his readines to reward And first in this of his power we neede not to doubt at all such vse we should make of his Titles Psal 2. 12. 115. 3. 10. Iealous This is a kinde of speach taken from married folkes Hos 2. 2. Ezech 16. who cannot abide their wiues shoulde giue either in affectiō or in gesture countenaunce or any manner of behauiour to others that which appertaineth to them onely and by this wee gather the greatnesse of the sinnes eyther of grosse Idolatrie or any countenaunce vnto it This Ielousie he setteth further forth by the fruite that the Lord punisheth seuerely this sin Visitinge iniquitie i punishing this sinne or the transgressiō of this law in dissoluing this holy bande for so the generall worde Iniquitie and euill is taken somtimes for some speciall great sinne as Deut. 17. 2. Psal 78. 39. And here it appeareth that it must be so taken because it is not a reason of the whole lawe but of this cōmandement only This is further declared by the persons on whom it falleth The thrd and fourth generation which is both because by the fathers sinne disanulling the couenaunt by Idolatrie the child falleth out of the same continuing in that fall is punished iustly for his owne sinne and his fathers both Mat. 23. 25. And therefore that which is added declareth those which are punished Those that hate me That is those that securely cōmit spiritual whoredom against this cōmandement and so this is nothing contray to that Ezech. 18. Exercising benignitie This is the seconde propertie wherein the Lorde declareth his reward towardes the keeper of this Law that is free liberalitie or bountie for so the word signifieth in receiuing them into a couenant of lyfe and blessednesse yea that eternall Act. 2. 37. Out of this wee learne that as a childe to his father when wee shall do all that is commaunded wee are but vnprofitable seruants and haue done but our dutie as if our father leaue vs no patrimonie are wee lesse bound to do our duetie so if the Lord had not bound himselfe by his couenant which came from his free and vndeserued goodnes could we haue claymed any thing by fulfilling because wee did but our dutie for the mercie of creating vs in great dignitie according to his owne likenes in holines and righteousnes But now hauing so many times offended since the knoweledge of his grace and lying in his wrath both by natural corruption and continuall seruing of sinne from the same dailie how is it not mercie onely without all deseruing when he giueth vs by imputation the righteousnes of his Son and so eternal life and thē transforming vs vnto his likenes againe when we are first set freely in possession of eternall ioy Luke 7. 6. 7. 8. Rom. 6. 15. to the 20. Tit. 2. 12. 13. 14. This is enlarged by the persons to whome this is graunted To thousand generations which sheweth that the Lorde in respect of vs setteth his mercie aboue his iustice But hee setteth them forth by their fruites that be pertakers of it That loue him and keepe his commandements By loue hee noteth that this should bee the fountaine from which the outwarde obedience of this commandement should spring so that if that we loue not delight not in the partes of his worship because in trueth we loue him and his glory These thinges are abhominable Iohn 14. 23. His commandements Here as iniquitie was put for the spiritual whordome against this cōmaundement so commaundementes are put for the seueral parts of obedience in this precept as the circumstance of the place doth shew by which wee see all good intentes are shut out As they haue bene seuerely punished of the Lord. Deut. 4. 15. Esay 30. 21. 1. Chron. 15. 13. 2. Chron. 13. 10. 11. Hetherto of that commandement which hath prescribed vs the seueral partes or outward means which we must loue desire c. in his worship which we giue him 3. Commaund In this commandement as afore we must consider first the percept then the reason The precept is Thou shalt not take the name of the Lorde thy God in vaine Take that is make any vse for the word signifieth to take up or lift vp on our shoulders The name of God is his memorial amongst men which being in his titles most properly is
of power goodnes iustice c. the distinction of three persons in one Godhead the actions or workes of God his constant decree from before all time of all things his wise and perfect execution of the same in the creation the gouerning of the world Iere. 24. 7. Ephe. 4. 13. Iohn 4. 24. Iam. 1. 17. Esay 33. 13. Iohn 1. chap. ver 8. 9. Dan. 4. 21. Rom. 11. 36. In this we should delight and growe as the chiefest knoweledge Iete 9. 23. 24. Here is forbidde firste Atheisme to perswade our heart there is no such true God in heauen Psal 14. 1. Exo. 5. 2. Mockers of him and his workes 2. Pet. 3. 4 5 c. 3. Those that oppone them selues to the true knowledge of God Matt. 12. 21. Actes 6. Not to acknoweledge the loue grace power c. of God Mal. 1. 2. Psal 82. 6. To denie his Iustice Mal. 3. 13. There forgiuenes of this sinne was bought by the slaunder of ignorance and blasphemie layde on Christe and the anguishe of his soule whiche he felt for our erroures laid on him by which also we die vnto this sinne and rayse this part of obedience Eph. 4. 13. After this true acknowledging of the Lorde out of his worde must proceed first a sure confidence in the Lorde with the fruites of the same Psal 100. 3. Then the other affections of loue reuerence feare of the Lorde Also a sure confidence in the Lord is from the assurance of his fauour to be assured from him onely for continual defence deliuerance and succour in soule and body Psal 27. 1. 3. and 3. 7. 9. Prou. 14. 26. From this confidence springes trust or hope whiche is to waite and looke for the helpe which in confidence wee assure our selues of from the Lord Psal 33. 18. 19. 20. 21. Yea although meanes be wanting wee giue glorie vnto God Rom. 4. 20. 2. Kings 6. 16. From hence commeth it that we feare not in greatest daungers Kin. 6. 16. Psal 3. 7. and 27. 3. That in the time of afflictiō we are patient Prou. 20. 22. Hebr. 10. 33. Without all murmuring to holde our peace Psal 39. 10. Receyuing them as from a father Iob. 1. verse 21. Psal 89. 39. 49. Reioycing in them assuredly Iam. 1. 2. Hence also in euery condition of lyfe to glory and reioyce vnspeakeably Psal 13. 6. and 16. 7. 8. 9. Ioel 2. 23. Zepha 3. 14. Here is forbidden first the want of these and the contrarie as to wauer or doubt Psal 13. 1. 3. 88. 15. To leaue our hope Heb. 10. 39. To dispaire Gen. 8. 13. Impatience Ierem. 20. 14. 18. To haue trust in ordinarie meanes and to make fleshe our arme is forbidden Iere. 17. 5. 6. 7 c. To glorie in these and bee proude of them Deut. 8. 17. 2. Chron. 16. 1. Ierem. 49. 3. 16. 2. 13. Ezech. 28. 2. 3. Esaie 30. 12. Diffidence in binding God to means Gen. 16. 2. Num. 14. 3. 2. King 7. 2. Luke 1. To feare for the signes of heauen Iere. 10. 2 To cleaue too much to the holinesse of places and persons distinct Ierem. 7. 49. 1. Kin. 12. 18. To hope in Astronomers Interpreters of Dreames Witches c. Dan. 2. 2. In Southsayers c. Leuit. 20 6. 7. Planet gasers c. Deu. 78. verz 11. To vse euil meanes to doo good 1. Kings 12. 25. 26. Rom. 3. 4. Out of this confidence farther proceedeth a continuall carefulnes that in all our wayes that is thoughtes wordes deedes c. we see his will and approoue it and so for that cause looke for hiis blssing and direction Prou. 3. 6 and 16 3. Gen. 5. 22 and 17 1. and 48. 15. Psal 146. 9. Numb 15. 39 Here is forbidden to walke according to our owne iudgement and wisedome Num. 15. 39. Gene. 11. 4. Also a distrustfull care Math. 6. 25. Luke 12. 26. To this last of all is adioyned humilitie when emptying our selues of all we giue God the whole glorie of all good thinges which are in vs Gene. 18. 27. 1. Pet. 5. 5. Esai 40. 3 4. Forbid loue of our honour Mat. 18. 3. 4. Vaine glorie Phil. 2. 3. Boasting of any thing in vs 1. Co. 4. 7. Presumption Zeph. 3. 11. 12. Hitherto of a sure confidence commanded in the lawe with those things which spring from the same the affections commaunded here the vse whereof is perpetuall are the true loue reuerence of God The true loue of God is whan with all our soule strēgth c. we cleaue to the Lord aboue all Matt. 22. 36. Hence is commanded to desire his presence more visible in heauen aboue all and reioyce in it aboue all Psal 16 10. 11. 2. Co. 5. 8. Here is forbidden the loue of men wyues children or any thing of this life to desire it more then the Lorde and his presence Phil. 4. 18. Iohn 12. 43. Reuerence of God is when being ouerwhelmed with the infinitnes and excellencie of his being wisedome strength goodnes mercie iustice puritie c. we are drawne to behaue our selues more shamefastlie and vprightly in his presence then before the greatest maiestie in the worlde Heb. 12 28. By this is forbidden no reuerence lesse reuerence vnto the Lord then vnto men as afore in loue The last is the feare of God the feare of God is when our heartes are moued troubled with this aboue all least by offence wee should displease our gratious Father and so purchase his wrath and punishment proceeding from it Phi. 2. 12. 1. Pe. 1. 11. and 2. 17. Heb. 4. 1. This feare differeth from the feare of the wicked Firste in that it proceeding from faith hath alwayes comfort with it and sure hope in perswasiō of the loue of God Actes 9. 31. whiche the wicked haue not Secondlie this is chiefly least by our infirmitie we should iustly displease our God where the wicked only trēble because of the punishment 2. Cor. 7. 1. Here is forbidden hardnesse of hearte no feare to feare any thing as the losse of lyfe goods friendes displeasure of men c. equally or more then the displeasure of the Lord Mat 10. 26. 28. 13. 1. Phil. 1. 18. Act. 16. 9. Apoc. 21. 8. And the vse of this shall ende when all infirmitie weaknesse shall be taken away Apoc. 21. 4. 5. 6. Our remedie for this our sinne is in the death and righteousnesse of Christ who beinge condemned as proude making him self equall with God as louing him selfe more then God was founde meeke humble faithfull and reuerent towardes his Father at all times 1. Pet. 2. 22. 25. yet so as when wee receyue him thus our righteousnes wee must receyue him our sanctification that in all these things we may be holy 1. Cor. 1. 30. 1. Pet. 1. 13. to the end Thus much of that commandement whiche hath prescribed dueties directly teachinge to the person of the Lorde Now followeth that we owe him but in the outwarde worship
is set foorth by lifting vp our hands vnto the Lawe to meditate in it by searching and ●●●…inge c. Psal 119. 48. Also a bowing down to looke vnto it Iam. 1. 25. Psal 119. 15. To encline our heart to vnderstandinge to crye after wisedome to search for it as for hidd treasure Pro. 2. 3. Here againe our great coldnes wauering mindes and multitude of other like infirmities is condemned The end is that we may apply all vnto ourselues examine our hattes by it and so in callinge on the Lord wholy to endeuour our selues to put it in practise Psal 19. 26. 27. and 59. 60. Pro. 2. 1. Here is condemned the prophane abusinge of the same in iestes playes c. Pro. 13. 13. 14. In the order of the Church as the meanes are more glorious and exellent so wee muste prepare our selues more earnestly on euery side Eccle. 5. 1. To the Lord in the person of the Minister whō wee must receyue as the Lorde Rom. 10. 15. 2. Cor. 5. 19. 20. Speaking his worde truely Deut. 18. 18. 19. Or admonissing or interpreting or censuring 1. Thes 5. 12. Deut. 17. 10. 11. Mat. 18. 17. In them selues that they sifte their heartes to receyue with pure affection the true vse of them seuerallie in the exercise it selfe reuerentlie behauing our selues accordinge to the nature of it and in our heartes to feele the power and force of them afterwarde also to vse all this to the seuerall profit and end for which these are ordained as wee will shewe in some of the principall particulars In the exercise of the worde preached beeing the way to open trueth to our iudgement and vnderstanding to plant it and roote it in our harts and affections We are commanded to put away all other things out of our minde and all superfluitie or malice or filthines whatsoeuer and be readie and swifte to heare yea and to receiue the word of the Lorde by his minister his husbandman is readie to engraft in our soules Iames. 1. 18. Luke 8. 18. Luk. 14. 27. 32. Rom. 10. 15. and 12. 8. Act. 26. In the action it selfe wee must with all attentiuenes so giue our hartes as we must haue a present touch feeling of those things whiche are deliuered that in promises wee may reioyce receyue comforte and strength in his threatninges we may throughly feele our owne estate and miserie so be humbled for the same Psal 78. 1. 1. Thes 2. 13. Nehe. 8. 8. 10. and 13. Actes 2. 37. The vse afterward is by repeating examining by the scripture and applyinge to bring to practise of life and conuersation Thes 5. 20 Act. 17. 11. In the preparation is forbidden the great loosenes and carelesnes of men once to thinke about what they are The vnreuerence little regarde of the mightie furniture of the Lorde in his seruants yea sometimes the captious proude stuborne and malicious purpose in hearing Eccl. 5 1. Exod. 19. 9. 2. Cor. 10. 5. 6. Act. 2. 13. 1. King 21. 20. and 22. 28. In the action it selfe we see by that is forbidden our heades full of other matters running vpon our profites pleasurs c. the great hypocrisie of manie who taking some delight in the thing outwardlie haue no true feelinge wrought by it when they heare Ezech. 33. 31. 32. The brawny and fat heart which being neuer a whit moued neuer or to small purpose repeateth examiēth applyeth or practiseth Ezech. 33. 31. Zeph. 2. 1. 2. Sam. 12. Marke 6. 20. In the Sacramentes the preparation is an examination of our fayth in Christ 1. Cor. 11. 28. Iob. 1. 5. Of repentance Esa 1. 16. 66. 2. Specially also in reconciliation of our brother Math. 5. 2. Here great ignorance slouthfulnes blokishnes which without all awe and reuerence to presume to partake the same to our great iudgement 1. Cor. 11. 28. Gene. 4. 5. 7. In the Action or worke it selfe wee muste feele a most sweete and sure confirmation of our faith of receyuing of Iesus Christ with his wisedome righteousnes sanctification and redemption that by the liuely feeling of this we should bee throughly inflamed to giue prayse and thankes vnto the Lorde with the Church Mat. 26. 30. The vse is after in all temptations to receyue comfort reliefe by them Psal 51. 9. Of one correction for the rest as of excommunication the preparation is by the authoritie and maiestie of Christ the action a fearfull sentence with Maiestie iustly prouounced the vse for the sleaing of the fleshe that the spirite might be saued in the day of the Lord 1. Cor. 5. 4. 5. The reason followeth for he will not holde him innocent that taketh his name in vaine That is he will condemne him as Saint Iames and Saint Paule write the one against rash swearing the other of the abuse of the Sacramentes interpreteth Aboue all things sweare not my brethren c. least you fall into condemnation Iam. 5. 12. 1. Cor. 11. 29. 34. 4. Commaund Hitherto those precepts which cōmand dueties in the worship of the Lorde whiche we owe euery day vnto him Nowe followeth that duetie whiche one day in seauen must be giuen vnto the Lord in the sanctification of his Saboth Remember So he seemeth to speake because when as this commandement was before giuen they had neglected the same The Saboth day to sanctifie that is to separate it from a common vse and dedicate it to a peculiar and holy vse vnto the Lord.
