will not load a Bee neither will one Sermon though neuer so excellent load the head and heart of a Christian to make him rich in grace And therefore be Instant as Earnest so Diligent This is the third Vse to draw towards an end in the fourth place Be instant in season And that 1. at the set ordinary times set apart for this Exercise the Sabbath day the Lords day then goe forth to gather this heauenly Mannah to make your prouision for the weeke ensuing Then may you expect a speciall blessing from God in attending vpon this holy exercise because as the exercise it selfe is Gods owne ordinance so the day also is set apart by the like ordinance for that exercise 2. Be instant in season viz. At those speciall times and seasons when the Lord is pleased to fit and to dispose you vnto the duty after a speciall manner There are certaine seasons certaine gales of grace as we may call them which the experience of euery Christian can informe vs of when the Lord is pleased to breath more kindly more sweetly more effectually vpon the heart and soule to the quickening and inlarging of it than at other times Sometimes when it is kindely humbled and broken vnder some affliction either outward or inward sometimes when it is warmed and suppled and melted with the fresh apprehension of some new mercy especially with a clearer glimpse of the light of Gods countenance a more full and rauishing apprehension of the vnspeakeable loue and fauour of God in Iesus Christ Sometimes againe it is after a secret and vnexpressable manner moued and inclined and moulded to a more chearefull a more acceptable performance of all dutie Now these are seasons which should be very pretious in the eyes of Christians which they should not let slip without a speciall improuement take hold of them make vse of them as for other duties so for this When the wind blowes whilst the Spirit of God breatheth vpon the soule with a fresher gale in sweet motions inclinations affections resolutions hoyse vp the sayle make vse of that aduantage in hearing and applying of the Word to heare it with more frequency with more power with more life with more intention of Spirit Thus in season 5. And lastly Be instant out of season And that 1. At other times beside the set the ordinary time set apart by God himselfe vpon the weeke day as well as vpon the Sabbath day when God shall offer a fit occasion The word in it selfe is not cannot bee out of season at any time The Word is the bread of life shadowed out amongst other mysteries by the Shew-bread vnder the Law which signified not onely Christ himselfe but all other spirituall repast which the Church hath with and before God and the meanes of their repast Now bread we know is neuer out of season All other meats almost haue their times and seasons when they are in season out of season but bread is alwayes in season The like we may say of this ordinance of God the Word preached it is neuer out of season Some other ordinances of God there are as holy and religious fasting and feasting humiliation and thanksgiuing they haue their times when they are in season and out of season But this exercise of Preaching of the Word it is alwayes in season on the Sabbath day on the weeke day as the Shew-bread stood vpon the Table in the presence of God vpon the weeke day as well as vpon the Sabbath No time vnseasonable to appeare before the Lord in this ordinance of his 2. Out of season when it may seeme to flesh and blood to be something vnseasonable and that in respect of other occasions which may draw vs aside from it If those occasions be not important if they be such as may either bee neglected altogether without any great preiudice to our selues or others or such as may be dispatched sooner or deferred longer in this case let the lesser giue place to the greater If it be with some small detriment to thy selfe in outward respects yet remember what Dauid saith to Araunah he will not offer a sacrifice vnto God of that which cost him nothing Borrow a little from thy body thy estate thy worldly imployments to bestow it vpon thy soule Make bold a little with other occasions to purchase some time for God and his worship and seruice 3. And lastly Be instant out of season euen then when thou findest thy selfe vnfit indisposed vnto the duty yet euen then when thou findest a present indisposition hanging about thee attend vpon this ordinance of God It is a Word of life a quickening Word as well to put life into the soule and to stirre it vp when it is dead as to preserue and increase it It is an Anabaptisticall frenzie that Christians should neuer attend vpon this or any other duty but when the spirit moueth them Wee often see ships riding a long time in a road stead when they might bee in the hauen wherefore is it that they may bee in the winds way as we say to take the first oportunity that shall bee offered Euen thus should Christians anchor as it were in the house of God euen then when they seeme to be becalmed that they cannot stirre and moue themselues about holy duties as they were wont to doe yet euen then ride it out wait vpon God in the vse of this ordinance though vnfit for the present bemoane and bewayle thy vnfitnesse looke vp vnto God for life and seeke it from him in thy attendance vpon this ordinance This is Gods owne command as for vs to Preach so for you to Heare the Word to be instant in season out of season FINIS Diuis Doct.
