THE DANGER OF DESERTION OR A FARVVELL SERMON of Mr. Thomas Hooker Somtimes Minister of Gods Word at Chainsford in Essex but now of New ENGLAND Preached immediately before his departure out of old ENGLAND TOGETHER WITH TEN PARTICVLAR rules to be practised every day by converted Christians LONDON Printed by G.M. for George Edwards in the Old Baily in Greene-Arbour at the Signe of the Angell 1641. The Epistle to the READER CHRISTIAN READER THe Author of this Sermon while be lived here among us gave God proofe of his solid judgement acute wit strong memory honest heart pious disposition and utter detestation as of prophanesse so of superstition He was trained up in Immanuel Colledge Cambridge where he shewed his indefatigable industry about his owne studies and conscionable fidelity about his pupils and their studies His opinion about the Doctrine maintained in the Church of England since the reformation thereof was Orthodox but his conscience about the Discipline and Ceremonies thereof was scrupulous yet so as he loved such as he observed sincere and entire in the substance though he differed from them in circumstances Nor he nor many of his brethren like him that were forced to leave old England to enjoy the freedome of their tender consciences deserted their places in any envy hatred or other like disrespect against the Church of England like many rigid Separatists who account her selfe to be no Church and her Ministers to be no Ministers but partly to enjoy a greater liberty to themselves then here they could partly to propogate the Gospell and make it knowne to such as had not heard of it before Take instance of this Authors disposition by this his Farwell Sermon Reade it and observe it well and thou shalt finde therein savoury of piety mixed with sincerity and of zeale with meeknesse Reade it I say and then censure it it needs no other to commend it then it selfe neither can any other doe it better then it selfe Mr. HOOKERS FARVVELL SERMON At his departure out of ENGLAND JEREMIAH 14.9 at the latter end We are called by thy Name leave us not TWo things are intended and expressed by the Holy ghost from the 1. verse to the thirteenth First a denuntiation of judgement and that reacheth to the 17. verse and that is sword and famine First he would send the famine and then the sword and would not be intreated Secondly in the 8. verse we have the importunate prayer of the Church to turne away these judgements and the prayer is marvellous sweet partly in confession where they confesse their sinnes and seeke to God for succour against them As if they should say Loe we are as base as base can be and therefore help for the Lords sake and thus they make their supplication in the 7. and 8. verses and this short prayer discovers it selfe partly in the things prayed for and partly in the manner and the holy Prophet intending this is very sweet in it First they pray that God will not take away his presence from them Why stayest thou but a night As if he should say it is marvellous strange that thou behavest thy selfe as a stranger Thou seest our sorrowes and helpest not Thou seest our trouble and succourest not Thou standest and seest Jerusalem in trouble and Iuda in misery but thou helpest not It is strange that thou the great God of Hosts standest as a man astonished thou hast received us but now thou standest as a man amazed as if thou wast weary of thy worke and couldest doe no more As if he should say Ierusalem cannot be succoured Iudaea cannot be saved Secondly they beg that God would not take away his presence from them Leave us not to our selves Let us see thy face if that we dye in thy presence though thou helpest not yet it dothus good to looke on a Saviour they are acquainted first that thou art the hope of Israel Alas if thou forsake us our hope is lost our hope is not in the means our hope is in thee leave us not Secondly thou art the Saviour of Israel and it is that that thou takest upon thee and thou hast made thy selfe a Saviour and now is the time of trouble performe what thou hast undertaken Thirdly thou art in the midst of us thou art a great comforter ready to succour us What wilt thou see us perish when thou art so near us 1 Sam. 4.6 Even as the Arke in the midst of the campe as if he should say he lives in the midst of us and will not save us Fourthly we are called by thy Name we have interest in thee to whom should servants go for safety but to their Master to whom should the wife goe but to her husband we have interest in thee leave us not Now we will meddle only with the latter clause leave us not God might leave them but they beg that he would not that is their Amento the Petition though thou standest by and wilt not help yet let us not dye in thy presence This is the great request of the Saints they desire not to be left of God though God may justly leave them That God may justly leave off a people Doct. and unchurch a Nation Israel suspected it and feared it It is that that they prayed against that God would not leave them I doe not say that God will cast off his elect eternally but those that are onely in outward covenant with him he may Isa 1.2 Heare O ye heavens I have nursed up children that is the Iewes there is an outward vocation and for such God may cast them off Brethren cast your thoughts afar off What is become of those famous Churches Pergamus and Thyatira and the rest Who would have thought that Ierusalem should have bin made a heap of stones and a vagabond people Hos 7.9 Plead with your mother and call her Loammi ye are not my people and I will not be your God Thus as I may say he sues out a bill of divorcement as it was in the old Law those that had any thing against their wives sued our a bill of divorcement and so doth God Hos 2.2 she is not my people nor my beloved let her cast away her fornications and idolatry lest I make her as at the first that is in Egypt poore and miserable as if he should say to England plead with England my Ministers in the way of my truth and say unto them let them cast away their rebellions lest I make her as I found her in captivity in the dayes of bondage But how doth God depart from a people Ob. When he takes away his love from a people Ans and as his respect so his means too 2. When he takes away his protection by taking downe the wals that is these two great meanes of safety Magistrates and Ministers 3. When instead of counselling comes in bribing and in stead of teaching dawbing when God either takes away the hedges or
