Sam. 5 4. Math. 21.13 Reu. 12.7 1. Ioh. 3.9 and if one wombe cannot containe Iacob and Esau one house the Arke Dagon one Temple prayer merchandise one heauen Michael and the Dragon how shall one soule retaine polution and sanctification Saint Iohn testifying that he that is borne of God doth not sinne neither can he sinne because hee is borne of God Austin but Dauid hath confessed though a Saint a King qui habuit sanctitatem non solum vnctionis sed functionis that by his owne experience he found it that seauen times a day doth the righteous fall Epist 46. And herevpon Saint Hierom to reconcile these two places asketh the question Si iustus quomodo cadit si cadit quo modo iustus and answereth himselfe that he falleth by sinne riseth by grace falleth by his fault riseth by his faith or as another homo cadit non iustus Zanchius as a man hee offendeth but as a Christian man hee reconcileth himselfe to God and being borne of God sinneth not nay as Saint Iohn speaketh he not onely doth not sinne but he cannot sinne that is 1. Iohn 3.9 desperately without remorse they cannot sinne and presumptuously without feare they doe not sinne neither do nor can sinne desperately as Cain did presumptuously as Pharaoh did malitiously as Iudas did blasphemously as Iulian did for the seede of God remaineth in them Howsoeuer therefore the slips and slidings of the best seruants of God be registred that he that standeth may take heed least he fall yet no one of them hath falne finally totally And howsoeuer this sweete singer of Israell whose heauenly Antheme I haue chose for this solemne celebrity though his foote had almost slipt nay though hee had fallen and descended downe downe downe into the shadowes of death into the snares of death into the Chambers of death yet behold his sunne-rising as Orient as euer it was he is againe created to walke in righteousnesse and holinesse before God all the dayes of his life The word CREATED will be the summe of my succeeding discourse first thereby to remember those many that haue this day receiued holy order heere from that honourable Prelate Lord Bishop of Lintolne and most reuerend Father who most carefully aduised them of the dignity and duty of that function and who are now created anew and are to forsake all the world nay their owne selues as the Disciples did in the prime of the Church those Primitiues that would be no Possessiues Lorinus in 2. Act. Apost some left all they had others sold all others gaue all so these should so much neglect all things for Christes sake as that they were at the first created to the image of the earthly man earthly so now they should be created to the image of the Lord from heauen heauenly And secondly my choice of this Text was chiefly to solemnize this great Feast of the CREATION and inuestiture of my most gracious Lord and Maister the Prince to adde solemnity to which Feast Psal 148. were I as able as willing I would take the course that Dauid in 140. Psalme to call from the heauens the Angels and armies thereof Sunne Moone Starres heauens of heauens and the waters that be aboue the heauens I would descend from the orbes and arches and summon the ayre fire snow vapors and winds I would enter into the Ocean Psal 8. and raise the Dragons and all deepes fishes of the seas and all that passeth through the pathes of the seas I would warne a Conuocation of all the world and muster together mountains and all hilles
