The deliuerance Pharaohs charets and his hoste hath he cast into the Sea his chosen captains also were drowned in the red Sea Therfore as his dutie he acknowledgeth saith Ver. 2. The duetie The Lord is my strength and my praise and he is become my saluation He is my God and I will prepare him a tabernacle He is my fathers God and I will exalt him Iudg. 5. Ver. 27. The Lord hauing giuen Deborah and Barak a triumphant victorie ouer their cruel enemie Sisera Deborah thereupon reasoneth of the miracle in her song and resolueth of performing a most excellent dutie as thus They that remaine The deliuerance haue dominion ouer the mightie the Lorde hath giuen me dominion ouer the strong Ver. 13.

The deliuerance Dauid rehearsing in the 107. Psalme many and great deliuerances as first of dispersed strangers and their miserie vers 3.4.5.6.7 deliuerance out of captiuitie and prison vers 10.11.12.13.14 and lastly the deliuerance of poore tossed shipmen from the dangers of the seas vers 25.26.27.28.29.30 addeth the dutie of all such as are deliuered therefrom thus Ver. 8.15.21.31 The duetie O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodnesse and declare the wonders that he doth for the sonnes of men In the 105. Psalme Dauid from the beginning thereof vnto the latter end thereof Psal 105. The deliuerance is wholly occupied in expressing Gods miraculous and merciful power in protecting Israel from Abrahams time when they were but a few in number and strangers in the land till such time as by a mightie hande and out-stretched arme he brought them into the pleasant land of Canaan And in the last verse he noteth what vse they must make of so many mercies and what dutie diligently they must walke in for Gods fauourable dealing with them thus That they might keepe his statutes and obserue his lawes Praise ye the Lord. Ver. 45. The duetie Many moe proofes I might alleadge out of the word of God for corporall deliuerances bestowed vpoÌ„ the Church from time to time and what must be the duty of such deliuerances but these may suffice for the plaine proofe of outwarde deliuerances and their duties Of spirituall deliuerances The deliuerance Luke 1.74 Vers 77. Vers 79. Now of spirituall deliuerances and their duties Being deliuered out of the hands of our enemies knowledge of saluation giuen vnto vs by remission of our sins in Iesus Christ light giuen to vs that sit in darknes and in the shadow of death and guiding our feete into the way of peace must of necessitie in the partakers of this deliuerance bring forth this duty euen to serue the Lord without feare Vers 74.75 The dutie in holines and righteousnes all the daies of our life The Apostle Paul in his Epistle to the Romanes Rom. 13.12 The deliuerance noteth a great deliuerance in a fewe words The night is past and being so neuer forget the dutie which followeth therefore let vs cast away the workes of darknes Vers 13.14 The dutie and put vpon vs the armour of light hereafter to walke honestly as in the day time not in gluttonie and drunkennes chambering and wantonnes strife and enuying but put yee on the Lorde Iesus Christ 1. Cor. 6.20 The deliuerance The dutie Vers 20. Paul telleth the Corinthians of a great deliuerance thus Ye are bought with a price and therefore your dutie is to glorifie God both in your soules bodies for they are the Lords And againe Seeing ye are so dearely bought and purchased with such a pretious pearle therfore be not the seruants of men 1. Cor. 7.23 1. Pet. 2.18.19 The deliuerance Peter speaketh of a most comfortable deliuerance Yee know that yee were not redeemed with corruptible things as siluer and gold from your vaine conuersation but with the pretious blood of Iesus Christ as of a lambe vndefiled and without spot And therefore seeing the purchasing of our saluation was a matter of such difficultie for siluer and gold could not doe it a matter of such necessitie for the diuell ruled ouer vs as a cruell tyrant a purchase at such a high rate and the matter of it of such a pretious valuation for it was the blood of Christ being most pretious and the lambe of God vndefiled and without spot 1. Pet. 1.17 The dutie all Christians duties therefore it is that are partakers hereof euen hereafter to passe their time and spend the daies of their dwelling here on earth in Gods most holy feare Now out of all these testimonies and examples which haue hetherto beene alleadged concerning Christians duties for deliuerances either spirituall or corporall may further very fitly bee gathered what is the end of the grace and fauour of God towards vs in The end of Gods mercies towards vs. by and through his sonne Christ Iesus euen thus Vt Deo reconciliatus

forewarning the daunger of not doing the dutie aforesaid in these wordes least a worse thing come vnto thee Of all these parts and their seuerall branches in order Of the first part The time wheÌ„ these words were vttered The time wheÌ„ was a little after our Sauiour Christ had shewed the great miracle vpon him in healing him of his disease which had vexed him thirtie eight yeres to the intent he might the better remember it Where first wee are to note Christ a careful shepheard the carefull dealing of Christ as a true shepheard to vse all meanes for gathering into the folde the lost and straying sheepe he omitteth no occasion neglecteth no meanes neither is hindred by any labour to instruct and edifie either by doctrine or miracle The like course must be imitated of all the faithfull shepheards of Christ Iesus to be instant in season and out of season 2. Tim. 4.2 1. Cor. 8.13 and 9. ver 21 22 23 to exhort to improue rebuke And with Paul to become all vnto all to the ende they may win some Againe we note here the dutie of all Gods children when God hath bestowed his blessings vpon them euen immediatly thereupon to render thankes sing praises to the highest Exo. 15.2 3. c Iudg. 5.2 3. c. Thus did Moses after the great deliuerances God gaue vnto Israel Thus did Deborah wheÌ„ God had giuen her victorie ouer her cruell enemie Sisera Thus did Dauid for euery miraculous blessing God shewed vpon him vsing this or the like speech Psal 116.12.13 What shall I giue vnto the Lord for all the benefits he hath done vnto me Luk. 17.16 And finally thus did the tenth leaper when Christ had cleansed him returne with speede to giue God praise So that hence I conclude this doctrine Delay not thy thankfulnes when God offereth his mercie that immediatly vpon the bestowing of Gods blessings vpon vs wee ought with thanksgiuing to put them in remembrance As most of vs now liuing in the North parts of this land haue most largely tasted the comfortable and neuer stinting streame of his mercies First in preseruing vs in the pinching time of dearth Next Some particulars wherein the North-parts haue found God louing to them in turning our pouertie into plentie Thirdly his miraculous sauing vs in the vehement ouer-spreading time of the pestilence So that wheÌ„ to mans expectation we haue been within the reach of it yet euen then hath his power in mercie ouerreached and preuented the same So that in regard of these late receiued deliuerances Our danger by-past I may very fitly vse the patheticall conclusion that Dauid vseth after a large suruey of his mercies Psalm 105. O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodnesse and declare the wonders that hee doth for the children of men Againe the time when our Sauiour Christ vttered these words was immediatly after the man healed had talked with the Pharisies Christ his vtter enemies The subtill dealing of the Pharisies the Pharisies dealt with him as they vvere accustomed to deale with all others who they saw to fauour Christ either for his doctrine or his miracles First to trie if they could perswade them that Christ was a seducer Note Ioh. 9.24 Ioh. 6.47.48 and that they runne into great danger if any way they did affect him Thus dealt they with the man that was borne blind whom Christ had healed The crueltie of the Pharisies when the other would not preuaile Ioh. 9.22 and with those seruants they sent to attach Christ But if by this perswasion they could not preuaile then they assaied a sharper course euen to threateÌ„ them vvith the law and to cast them out of their Synagouges by which two meanes they held backe many yea euen of the chiefer sort Ioh. 12.42 43. that they durst not openly professe any good will to Christ Our Sauiour Christ therefore espying the danger this poore man was in after he had talked with the Pharisies The loue and care of Christ to call vpon vs when we are in most danger thought it then a fit time euen immediatly thereupon to vtter these words of the text thereby to bring into his remembrance afresh his late receiued benefit as also to make him bold and zealous in the course of a Christian by shewing him the danger that would ensue if he did it not Here may we note Dangerous for weak ones to be conuented before persecutors that it is very dangerous for weake Christians to hearken to the subtill perswasions of Gods enemies or to be called before them being in authoritie and to bee threatned as may appeare by the ofteÌ„ reuolts and recantations of many weake Christians in the Primitiue Church our owne Church of England when they were vrged thereunto by persecuting tyrants or bloodsucking Byshops A speciall remedie against feare and fainting in our troubles for the Gospell sake Therfore that neither the one may deceiue them nor the other terrifie them they are themselues to vse incessant prayer that God would giue them his spirit to leade them into all trueth and being in the trueth that he would in his mercie vouchsafe them the spirit of boldnes to professe his name euen before kings and princes and neuer be ashamed The dutie of good pastors Secondly in Christ we are here to note the dutie of good shepheards ouer their flockes as also of stronger Christians to their weaker and new conuerted brethren The dutie of one Christian to another vz. where they espie the intrumeÌ„ts of Satan so busie both by perswasions and threatnings to quench the spirit of God in new conuerts 1. Thess 5.19 1. Pet. 22. euen then to bee as readie as Christ was here whensoeuer they meete with them Exhort one another daily Esay 2.3 4. either in publike exhortations or priuate conferences with Christ to put them in minde of their late deliuerances out of the clawes of Satan and kingdome of darknes of the danger that will ensue if euer they fall away And thus much for the first part of the text drawne out of these wordes and after that The second part The second part vz. The place where The place where our master Christ vttered these wordes to the man whom hee had healed before was the temple Iesus after the miracle shewed in healing the man got him out of the way for a certaine space and comming into the temple there he found the man vpon whom the miracle of healing had been shewed lately come from talking with the Pharisies whereupon Christ what in regarde of the vrgent occasion and what in regard of the fitnes of the place vttereth the words of exhortation in my text Behold thou art made whole The temple was the place where God had promised his presence when they came either to pray or to perswade vnto Christianitie as the Lord promised vnto
