A10931	Certaine sermons preached and penned by Richard Rogers preacher of Weathersfield in Essex, directly tending to these three ends. First, to bring any bad person (that hath not committed the sinne that is vnpardonable) to true conuersion. Secondly, to stablish and settle all such as are conuerted, in faith and repentance. Thirdly, to leade them forward (that are so setled) in the Christian life, to bring foorth the fruite of both. Whereunto are annexed diuers godlie and learned sermons of another reuerend and faithfull seruant of God, Mr. Samuel Wright, Bachelor of Diuinitie, late president of Sidney Colledge in Camebridge, deceased, tending also to the same ends, with diuers particular points in both, profitable and fit for these times.	Rogers, Richard, 1550?-1618.; Wright, Samuel, d. ca. 1612. aut	1612 (1612)	STC 21203; ESTC S116121	188,868	230

on_o it_o if_o he_o command_v we_o to_o repent_v in_o the_o gospel_n this_o commandment_n have_v a_o promise_n annex_v that_o be_v if_o by_o faith_n we_o endeavour_n to_o repent_v we_o shall_v repent_v so_o when_o he_o command_v we_o to_o love_v our_o enemy_n he_o give_v with_o all_o to_o his_o a_o promise_n which_o be_v by_o faith_n apprehend_v enable_v we_o to_o that_o duty_n in_o like_a fort_n god_n command_v we_o to_o rejoice_v always_o promise_v if_o we_o be_v not_o want_v in_o our_o faith_n we_o may_v ever_o continue_v to_o rejoice_v use_v 2_o second_o if_o this_o be_v a_o duty_n which_o the_o lord_n require_v of_o we_o at_o all_o time_n that_o we_o rejoice_v in_o he_o we_o ought_v continual_o to_o look_v and_o have_v a_o eye_n into_o our_o heart_n to_o see_v whether_o this_o

in_o whatsoever_o we_o set_v ourselves_o unto_o that_o we_o find_v this_o joy_n to_o carry_v we_o and_o accompany_v we_o in_o the_o do_n of_o it_o for_o as_o it_o be_v say_v 2._o cor._n 9.7_o the_o

which_o follow_v after_o thus_o again_o i_o say_v rejoice_v brief_o show_v we_o first_o the_o earnest_a affection_n the_o apostle_n have_v to_o draw_v they_o to_o this_o duty_n which_o proceed_v from_o the_o abundance_n of_o his_o love_n whereby_o he_o think_v every_o one_o of_o their_o joy_n to_o be_v his_o own_o as_o you_o may_v read_v 2._o cor._n 2.3_o he_o account_v both_o the_o joy_n and_o sorrow_n of_o the_o corinthian_n to_o be_v his_o 2.3_o as_o they_o take_v his_o to_o be_v they_o second_o this_o proceed_v from_o the_o reason_n i_o touch_v before_o because_o himself_o be_v fill_v with_o this_o joy_n and_o it_o be_v of_o that_o nature_n that_o in_o who_o heart_n soever_o it_o be_v it_o can_v but_o dilate_v and_o communicate_v itself_o to_o other_o as_o we_o read_v of_o the_o jailer_n he_o rejoice_v and_o he_o can_v not_o keep_v this_o joy_n to_o himself_o but_o communicate_v it_o to_o his_o whole_a house_n act._n 16._o for_o it_o be_v say_v he_o rejoice_v have_v believe_v with_o his_o whole_a house_n so_o lydias_n heart_n be_v open_v 16._o and_o dilate_a by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o the_o joy_n of_o the_o spirit_n she_o make_v her_o whole_a household_n partaker_n so_o far_o as_o she_o can_v of_o the_o same_o grace_n the_o end_n whereunto_o this_o repetition_n tend_v be_v to_o make_v the_o exhortation_n more_o forcible_a and_o to_o imprint_v it_o the_o better_a and_o deep_o in_o their_o heart_n mind_n and_o memory_n and_o to_o make_v they_o more_o careful_a of_o the_o practice_n of_o it_o for_o where_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n use_v these_o often_o double_a exhortation_n we_o must_v and_o aught_o to_o employ_v our_o great_a care_n and_o as_o it_o be_v our_o double_a diligence_n to_o learn_v they_o object_n but_o you_o will_v say_v wherefore_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_z so_o earnest_a to_o repeat_v and_o redouble_v this_o precept_n above_o other_o answ_n i_o answer_v first_o because_o this_o be_v a_o duty_n as_o we_o see_v that_o be_v necessary_a and_o requisite_a in_o a_o christian_a at_o all_o time_n redouble_v as_o without_o the_o which_o he_o can_v neither_o hear_v the_o word_n aright_o nor_o pray_v aright_o nor_o do_v any_o duty_n of_o his_o calling_n as_o he_o ought_v and_o if_o it_o be_v ask_v how_o other_o do_v that_o have_v no_o part_n in_o this_o joy_v in_o the_o lord_n i_o answer_v they_o joy_v in_o sin_n and_o it_o will_v be_v see_v that_o the_o wicked_a will_v be_v utter_o weary_a of_o their_o life_n but_o for_o their_o good_n and_o delight_n that_o they_o have_v second_o this_o duty_n of_o rejoice_v thus_o in_o the_o lord_n be_v the_o ground_n of_o all_o our_o thanksgiving_n unto_o god_n which_o be_v a_o main_a and_o principal_a part_n of_o god_n worship_n for_o no_o man_n can_v true_o be_v thankful_a to_o god_n for_o any_o thing_n but_o he_o who_o have_v wrought_v by_o one_o mean_n or_o other_o some_o holy_a and_o heavenly_a joy_n and_o delight_n in_o his_o soul_n again_o three_o this_o rejoice_v in_o the_o lord_n be_v a_o duty_n very_o hard_o to_o perform_v for_o though_o it_o be_v easy_a for_o a_o man_n in_o worldly_a prosperity_n to_o rejoice_v after_o a_o natural_a and_o worldly_a manner_n yet_o to_o rejoice_v in_o the_o lord_n and_o in_o a_o righteous_a and_o sound_a manner_n this_o be_v a_o most_o heavenly_a duty_n and_o as_o cross_v to_o the_o dumpish_a and_o earthly_a spirit_n of_o man_n as_o any_o thing_n can_v be_v and_o therefore_o we_o need_v as_o it_o be_v the_o more_o prick_v and_o spur_v to_o quicken_v we_o on_o to_o this_o duty_n be_v of_o ourselves_o so_o flow_v and_o dull_a unto_o it_o david_n though_o he_o have_v a_o extraordinary_a measure_n and_o portion_n for_o the_o most_o part_n of_o this_o joy_n be_v wrought_v in_o his_o hart_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n yet_o he_o complain_v oft_o of_o the_o loss_n and_o decay_n and_o absence_n of_o these_o heavenly_a joy_n

to_o fall_v away_o neither_o ought_v we_o to_o be_v discourage_v at_o it_o if_o we_o have_v true_a faith_n ourselves_o as_o though_o we_o must_v needs_o fall_v away_o too_o for_o such_o be_v never_o settle_v in_o believe_v neither_o ever_o have_v save_v knowledge_n though_o they_o have_v be_v zealous_a three_o such_o as_o have_v long_o prize_v the_o pearl_n and_o yet_o be_v now_o dazzle_v again_o with_o pleasure_n and_o profit_n let_v we_o bewail_v they_o whether_o they_o be_v minister_n or_o people_n many_o learned_a man_n have_v be_v such_o who_o have_v the_o gospel_n in_o a_o high_a account_n sometime_o oh_o they_o have_v profit_v fair_o note_v and_o be_v come_v about_o commendable_o be_v they_o not_o think_v we_o that_o they_o be_v turn_v to_o their_o first_o sottishness_n when_o god_n have_v do_v so_o much_o for_o they_o as_o to_o reveal_v himself_o so_o far_o unto_o they_o all_o this_o danger_n they_o be_v come_v to_o see_v they_o do_v not_o nourish_v their_o sparkle_n of_o good_a desire_n which_o give_v good_a hope_n but_o they_o quench_v they_o and_o suffer_v they_o go_v out_o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o wise_a merchant_n go_v by_o and_o by_o and_o sell_v all_o that_o he_o have_v and_o buy_v that_o precious_a pearl_n and_o here_o i_o will_v pass_v to_o the_o three_o point_n and_o show_v how_o the_o good_a hearer_n be_v herein_o like_a to_o the_o merchant_n man_n as_o he_o have_v resemble_v he_o in_o both_o the_o former_a that_o be_v in_o seek_v good_a pearl_n and_o find_v one_o of_o great_a price_n now_o because_o the_o excellency_n of_o this_o pearl_n do_v yet_o more_o appear_v hereby_o that_o this_o hearer_n do_v as_o the_o merchant_n man_n go_v and_o sell_v all_o that_o he_o have_v &_o buy_v this_o pearl_n i_o will_v first_o speak_v of_o this_o last_o action_n of_o he_o and_o then_o make_v use_n of_o it_o it_o be_v say_v he_o go_v his_o way_n and_o sell_v all_o that_o he_o have_v and_o buy_v that_o pearl_n this_o go_v away_o first_o show_v that_o he_o do_v not_o stand_v still_o to_o muse_v doubt_v and_o linger_v out_o the_o time_n but_o as_o a_o wise_a merchant_n so_o soon_o as_o he_o see_v a_o pennyworth_n to_o be_v buy_v which_o may_v enrich_v he_o he_o leave_v all_o other_o thing_n and_o set_v himself_o about_o that_o business_n delay_n and_o this_o teach_v we_o that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o linger_v nor_o defer_v the_o time_n when_o god_n reveil_v any_o excellent_a fruit_n or_o benefit_n that_o the_o gospel_n bring_v unto_o we_o but_o present_o go_v our_o way_n and_o endeavour_n to_o make_v it_o our_o own_o but_o how_o rare_o shall_v we_o find_v this_o to_o be_v do_v when_o for_o the_o most_o part_n every_o where_o man_n practise_v the_o contrary_a many_o see_v and_o will_v confess_v that_o there_o be_v in_o the_o gospel_n most_o precious_a treasure_n and_o worthy_a to_o be_v embrace_v but_o they_o think_v the_o time_n too_o soon_o as_o yet_o to_o go_v about_o it_o when_o they_o have_v follow_v their_o other_o pleasure_n and_o delight_n in_o their_o youthful_a day_n or_o when_o they_o have_v obtain_v these_o or_o those_o purpose_n of_o they_o than_o they_o will_v entertain_v the_o gospel_n and_o sell_v their_o other_o delight_n for_o it_o even_o as_o he_o who_o will_v first_o go_v bury_v his_o father_n which_o christ_n reprove_v and_o then_o he_o will_v follow_v he_o and_o thus_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v usual_o with_o these_o man_n as_o it_o do_v with_o careless_a and_o unthrifty_a merchant_n that_o slack_a defer_v and_o drive_v off_o the_o time_n of_o their_o commodity_n while_o it_o be_v to_o be_v have_v and_o repent_v they_o after_o when_o it_o be_v too_o late_o so_o these_o man_n they_o defer_v and_o delay_v the_o time_n in_o which_o god_n set_v out_o the_o pearl_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o it_o be_v to_o sale_n that_o they_o may_v buy_v it_o at_o a_o small_a and_o easy_a reckon_n until_o the_o market_n of_o god_n be_v do_v and_o the_o day_n of_o grace_n be_v past_a that_o they_o can_v then_o have_v it_o will_v they_o never_o so_o glad_o for_o as_o wisdom_n call_v and_o cry_v unto_o man_n a_o long_a time_n and_o can_v be_v entertain_v of_o they_o for_o their_o own_o good_a so_o wisdom_n threaten_v that_o she_o will_v refuse_v to_o hear_v they_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o their_o trouble_n 1.20_o and_o in_o the_o day_n wherein_o affliction_n and_o anguish_n shall_v like_o a_o whirlwind_n come_v upon_o they_o though_o they_o cry_v never_o so_o loud_o and_o seek_v she_o never_o so_o earnest_o she_o will_v not_o answer_v nor_o be_v find_v of_o they_o wherefore_o it_o be_v good_a for_o we_o to_o follow_v the_o counsel_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n 3.15_o while_o it_o be_v call_v to_o day_n to_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o god_n and_o to_o hearken_v to_o wisdom_n while_o she_o call_v unto_o we_o for_o we_o know_v not_o how_o long_o the_o day_n of_o grace_n will_v last_v with_o us._n it_o may_v be_v not_o a_o year_n or_o a_o day_n or_o a_o hour_n and_o if_o that_o be_v past_a than_o it_o be_v too_o late_o for_o we_o to_o seek_v after_o it_o we_o must_v have_v our_o lamp_n ready_a burn_v with_o the_o five_o wise_a virgin_n if_o we_o will_v enter_v in_o with_o the_o bridegroom_n 25.34_o but_o if_o we_o linger_v and_o defer_v the_o buy_n of_o our_o oil_n till_o he_o come_v we_o may_v knock_v and_o call_v but_o shall_v find_v no_o

then_o the_o wisdom_n of_o this_o merchant_n commend_v unto_o us._n he_o do_v not_o foreslacke_a nor_o foreslowe_v any_o time_n but_o present_o go_v about_o the_o purchase_n of_o this_o pearl_n so_o that_o in_o earthly_a delight_n we_o see_v we_o soon_o resolve_v but_o twenty_o let_n be_v in_o the_o way_n to_o hinder_v we_o in_o heavenly_a let_v we_o next_o see_v what_o course_n he_o take_v to_o get_v it_o teach_v he_o sell_v all_o that_o he_o have_v and_o buy_v that_o pearl_n by_o sell_v and_o buy_v here_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v not_o such_o a_o merchandise_n as_o papist_n make_v that_o say_v by_o their_o good_n and_o substance_n they_o think_v to_o purchase_v heaven_n to_o themselves_o for_o there_o be_v no_o equality_n between_o all_o that_o we_o have_v or_o can_v have_v and_o

their_o alm_n or_o good_a work_n whatsoever_o be_v able_a to_o purchase_v heaven_n at_o god_n hand_n it_o follow_v that_o they_o be_v as_o profitable_a to_o god_n and_o benefit_v he_o as_o much_o by_o their_o alm_n and_o other_o good_a work_n as_o he_o by_o heaven_n do_v benefit_v they_o but_o we_o know_v the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o saviour_n when_o we_o have_v do_v all_o we_o can_v do_v though_o we_o give_v all_o our_o substance_n yea_o and_o our_o own_o life_n for_o god_n glory_n we_o must_v say_v and_o acknowledge_v as_o the_o truth_n be_v we_o be_v but_o unprofitable_a servant_n unto_o he_o 17.10_o for_o we_o have_v do_v no_o more_o than_o duty_n require_v at_o our_o hand_n 6.23_o and_o therefore_o mark_v how_o the_o apostle_n paul_n call_v death_n the_o wage_n of_o sin_n but_o
