Lect. March 18. Verse 8. And I will mooue all nations and the desire of all the Gentiles shall come I wil fill this house with glorie saith the Lord of hostes WHen-as here-tofore I did declare the disposition of the argumēts which Haggeus doth vse I tolde you that the fift and sixt demonstrations were comprehended in this eight verse and that the fifte was drawne from the giuing of the Messias and from his maiestie the sixt from that which should follow namely the glorie of the seconde Temple which the prophet doth amplifie by an opposition

Cap. 1. 1 IN the second yeere of King Darius in the sixt moneth the first day of the moneth was the worde of the Lord in the hand of Haggeus the prophet vnto Zerubabell sonne of Salthiel captaine of Iehuda and Iehosua the sonne of Iehosadac the chiefe priest that he should say 2 Thus hath the Lord God of hostes said in saying This people hath saide The time is not yet come the time I say that the house of the Lorde shoulde be builded 3 The worde of the Lord was therefore in the hand of Haggeus the prophet that hee should say 4 Whether or no o yee is the time come that yee shoulde dwell in your

therein and I will be glorified saith the Lorde 9 Yee shall looke vnto much and behold it is but a little and ye haue brought it into the house but I blowe vppon it For what cause saith the Lorde of hostes For my house which lyeth wast and yee runne euery one into his owne house 10 Therefore hath the heauen shutte it selfe vpon you that it may not giue you dew the earth also hath shutte her selfe that shee may not giue her fruite 11 And I haue called a drought vpon this lande and vpon the mountaines and vppon the wheate and vpon the wine and vpon the oyle and furthermore vpon men and vpon the cattell and vppon all the labour of the handes 12 And Zerubabel the sonne of Salthiel and Iehosua the sonne of Iehosadac the high priest and all the remnaunt of the people hearde the voice of the Lorde their God and the wordes of Haggeus the Prophet as the Lorde their God had sent him and the people did feare before the face of the Lord. 13 Therefore saide Haggeus the ambassadour of the Lorde

seconde Chapter 1 An oracle of the great glory of the seconde temple wherein the Messias shoulde teach It is contained in the 10 first verses 2 An other oracle consisting vpon a Parable and an answere where hee teacheth that the sacrifices of the Iewes haue beene and are prophane which were and are offred without faith ver 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 3 The curse which shall befall those which onely seeke

did iudge our selues wee shoulde not bee punished But when wee are punished wee are instructed of the Lorde least wee should bee condemned with the worlde ● Cor. 11. 31. 32 Mi. But GOD doth grieuously punishe you in that hée hath shut the heauens that they may not moisten the earth with dewe neither yet water the same with raine and in that hee hath shut the earth that shee may not yéelde vnto you her increase Ergo. c. 1 In this minor proposition wée will note in order the situation of the holy land and howe the same was watered The lande whereunto yee goe ouer that you maie possesse it is a lande of Mountaines and Valleis thou shalt drinke water of the raine that cōmeth from Deut. 11. 11. heauen 2 Therefore was it a blessinge of GOD whenas the Countrie was watered with raine I will giue raine vnto your lande in his season earlie and late and so shalt thou gather thy Deut. 11. 14. corne and thy wine and thy oyle And I will giue grasse in thy fielde for thy cattle thou shalt eate and bee satisfied 3 On the contrarie the with-holdinge of raine was a testimonie of Gods curse God is angrie with the Idolaters so that he shutteth Deut. 11. 17. the heauens that there maie bee no raine that the earth maie not yeelde her encrease And the heauens which are ouer thy head shal be of brasse the earth which is vnder thee of Iron The Lord shall giue vnto thy lande for raine dust and ashes * c. Deut. 28. 23. Therefore it is certaine that the Iewes are brought vnto the féeling of the wrath of GOD and called to repentaunce by those punishments which were laide vppon them for breakinge the lawe neglecting the building of the Temple 1 Of the historicall sermons of the Prophets and Apostles 1 The historycall Sermons dooe plainely declare not onely what the Lord saith but also what hée doth 2 Hée sheweth in the wordes of the lawe that all men haue sinned and are destitute of the glorie of God and in the ioyfull message of the gospell hee professeth that the faithfull are iustified fréely for Christ his sake Rom. 3. Rom. 3. 3 And as at all times hee setteth foorth his mercie toward the penitent so hee declareth his iustice towarde the stubburne and stiffnecked which will not repent 4 Therefore as Christ said to the disciples of Iohn Goe yee and shewe vnto Iohn what Mat. 11. thinges you heare and see so let vs heare and sée what God dooth 5 Let vs remember that it is our part and duety to séeke the Lord that wee may finde him euen by groping séeing that hée is not farre from euery one of vs. Act. 17. 27. 6 Therefore men are often-times that diligently to be put in minde of the deliueraunce of the Church which was in the west part of the worlde out of the captiuity of Babylon of the regeneration of the Church being striken in yéeres of the restoring of the light of the gospell of our conuersion and of the cōuersion of many moe that they may giue them-selues to marke the workes of God to extoll the same and to thanke God for his vnspeakeable benefits 2. Of the causes attending vpon the execution of Gods iudgement 1 All the whole nature of things serueth for Gods purpose and for the execution of his iudgements 2 This may wée see by the ready ministerie and obedience of the Elements 3 At Gods becke the heauen and earth are set open that men may enioy Gods blessinge 4 At his cōmaundement the riches of heauen and earth are shut vp so that vnthankfull disobedient persons can-not obtaine the same 5 And most certaine is that which the Apostle saith the creature is subiect to vanitie not of it selfe but because of him which hath subdued it 6 And although the agréement of the heauen and earth be wonderfull in preseruing of the life of liuing creatures yet is the same compelled to serue both the blessing of God also his curse 7 Therefore séeing that God doth vouchsafe to prosper the order of nature that he may blesse the obedient and againe séeing he doth restraine the force of the nature of things that he may send a curse vpon the disobedient euen the very experience of this most frée action ought to stirre vp and nourish in our mindes the hatred of sinne loue of righteousnes 19. Lect. 15. Decemb. Verse 11. And I haue called a drought vppon this land and vppon the Mountaines and vppon Wheate and vppon Wine and vppon Oyle and vpon all things which the earth bringeth forth and vppon men and vppon beastes vppon all the labour of mens handes THis verse contayneth the exposition of the verse going before and also the proofe of the minor proposition of the last Syllogisme This is the summe of the induction which the prophet vseth God hath brought a drought vpon the earth the Mountaines Wheate Wine Oyle vppon Man and Beaste and finallie vpon the workes of your hands And the like iudgment is executed vpon all other thinges Wherefore it is certaine that you are subiect to that curse whereof mention is made Deut. 28. 16. Thou shalt bee accursed in the towne and in the fielde Cursed shall thy basket bee and thy store Cursed shall be the fruite of thy wombe and the fruite of thy land the first begotten of thy oxen and of the flockes of thy Sheepe Cursed shalt thou bee when thou goest out and when thou commest in In these west countries wee had in the last Spring frost and colde in the verie Easter holydaies Before haruest and in the Séede-time cōtinuall raine This yeere did God shut the heauens that wee were quite past all hope to reape any store of fruite Whence wée doe gather that GOD doth punishe vs in like sorte as hee did the Iewes in times past and that hée doth shut the heauen and the earth ¶ Questions and answeares Qu. VVhat thinges are to bee noted in this induction which the prophet vseth An. The order and state of things For to th' ende the prophet may declare according to the comminations of the lawe that there is nothing which is not now accursed for the sinnes of the Iewishe people hee beginneth at those thinges which are as the heauen and earth which giue vnto vs lodging secondly he commeth vnto the fruites of these things which are and doe liue declaringe that the drought hath hurt the corne the wyne and the oyle and other the fruites of the earth and the trées thence he procéedeth vnto those things which are liue haue senses and whilest that by Synecdoche hée maketh mention of beasts he vnderstandeth all other liuing creatures which liue vpon th' earth in the water and which flie in the ayre Fourthlie he induceth him who hath also reason vnderstanding and for whose sake the creatures which are of lower degree are created namelie man
