and shines cleerely in the water whereas contrarily clay is scorched in the fire and dissolued in the waters So a good man acquits himselfe both vnder the crosse and in peace and preferments when as the wicked oftentimes are foiled in both Approoue wee then our Magis metuendus Sa●hanas cum fallit sq●am cum aeuit sinceritie in both and in the latter specially as more dangerous Vse 4. For triall to them that haue beene ouercome by the lesser temptations on the left hand If hunger and necessity master thee what then will fulnesse If a peece of bread and an handfull of barley corrupt thee what then such glorious offers as heere the diuell makes Doct. 5 5. Marke heere the Diuels craft in shewing our Sauiour the glory of the kingdoms of the earth but The Diuels craft in shewing the glory but not the griefe concealing the greefe So in sinne hee shewes the pleasure and conceales the punishment he shewes the gaine not the paine As to the Israelites the oynions and flesh-pots of Aegypt not the brickes not the bondage of Aegypt Wee knowing this craft must labour in these temptations to see that which the Diuell hides and to apprehend the fearefull after-claps Let vs labour to see Iaels naile as well as her milke Delilahs scissers as well as her bosome the snakes poyson as well as her imbrace and the Bees sting as well as her hony That speech of Abner is true in sinne 2. Sam. 2. 26. Will it not be bitternesse 2. Sam. 2. 26. in the end and the want of apprehending it is the cause of our foiles in temptation If Dauid could haue felt the griefe of his broken bones Psal 51. before Psal 51. his adultery he would neuer haue committed it The Diuell blindes vs so that we see not till afterward as Gen. 3. Then were their eies opened the diuell that shut them before will open them then Gen. 3. That which Salomon notes in some buyers to say It is naught It is naught and after they haue bought to boast how good it is is contrarily true in Sathan in the sale of his naughty wares to vs It is good It is good saith this seller but aftetwards hee lets vs see how he hath fetcht vs ouer and cries as fast It is naught It is naught The diuell at first comes as a friend and promises pleasures and profits but afterward he shewes himselfe as an enemy in accusing and shewing nothing but greefe shame Gods anger and hell fire Like that deceiuing Prophet 1. King 13. that entreated the other Prophet to come 1. King 13. in and dine with him and neuer gaue ouer till hee had got him telling him hee had a warrant from God but afterward in the middest of dinner rose vp and threatned him destruction for consenting Such sawce doth the diuell alwayes giue vs to his sweete meates when euer wee eat of them The things the diuell tempts vnto are like vnto such pictures as on the one side are some goodly men or beautifull women but on the other side vgly owles Let vs therefore looke on both sides and desire the Lord to open our eyes that wee may see the fearefull consequents of sinne Doct. 6 6. Marke heere who it is that sets out the world in such glory to vs. It is the diuell that thus paints It is the Diuell that maketh vs thinke the world to be glorious this strumpet When then wee feele our selues beginne in our thoughts to magnifie riches pompe and pleasures let vs know the Diuell is at our elbow and therefore pray wee that wee be not led into temptation Thus much for the reall temptation The verball followes It containes Sathans promise to our Sauiour to 2. The verball temptation giue him the whole world And well may I call it verball for hee doth but verba dare goe about to cozen Christ with meere words Now as I said this is but a subordinate temptation vshering the other to idolatry an argument to draw on the other And thus Sathan reasons If thou mayst get the whole world by worshipping me then it is thy best to doe it But thou mayst get the whole world by it therefore doe it The assumption hee prooues first from his willingnesse shewed in his free offer Secondly from his ability to performe that hee promises because all is his and that by the best right Gods donation It is deliuered to mee and to whom I will I giue it 1. For his willingnesse shewed in his large promise All this will I giue thee Marke Doct. 1 A peruerse and wicked kinde of liberality in the Diuell to bee auoyded For first it is for his owne A wicked kinde of liberality is to bee auoided ends for his owne glory that hee might obtaine worship of Christ Thus many are bountifull to procure glory and respect to themselues and to such as will crouch vnto them but not otherwise This is a diabolicall bounty Secondly his bounty is to the maintenance of sinne and so is the Papists whereof they so bragge euen to the maintenance of the same sinne that heere the Diuell would be so bountifull too namely Idolatry Thus the reuenues of Prou. 10. 16. the wicked are to sinne Pro. 10. 16. but the righteous will honour the Lord with their riches maintaine his Church and true worship Prou. 3. 9. Honour the Prou 3. 9. Lord with thy riches and with the first fruites of all thine encrease Thirdly his bounty is treacherous and verifies the prouerbe that enemies gifts are no gifts His bounty is to catch our Sauiours Soule as Sauls was to Dauid in giuing him Michall to be a snare vnto him But true bounty hath truth ioyned to it Prou. 20. 28. Bounty and truth preserue the King Prou. 20. 28. Doctr. 2 2. Marke the diuels equiuocation All these Why what were all these but shadowes and representations The Diuell vseth to equiuocate It was a great catch our Sauiour was like to haue had if hee had yeelded If hee had beene challenged for not performing heere would haue been his defence euen the Iesuiticall trick of equiuocation Thou shalt haue all I shewed for al that I shewed thee was but an image indeed nothing so nothing shalt thou haue Of this trick see more in the treatise of the harts deceitfulnesse pag. 21. 22. Doctrin 3 3. Heere we may see how the diuell goes about to steale away our hearts from God and to entice The Diuell enticeth to his seruice by hope of gaine and glory vs vnto his seruice by hope of gaine and glory in this world necessarily tying appropriating these things to his followers If thou wilt worship me thou shalt haue all these things otherwise if thou feede still vpon the oracle at Iorden and beleeuest that voyce that there spake to thee thou art sure enough to continue poore and miserable still So still he deals with vs. What fooles

wounds are not mortall but medicinable the wounds not of a Swash-buckler that giues a gash and runnes away but of a Surgeon that wounds and then heales God sees the Diuell hath giuen thee many a secret wound which will fester vnlesse he heale them with these wounds of his Gods axe hewes thee down not for the fire but for the building that thou mayest be a piller in his house The Reuel 3. Mason pluckes downe an house but not with an intent to destroy it but to re-edifie it and raise it vp againe in better forme and fashion God brings thee downe to the belly of hell but it is but to bring the vp into the bosome of Abraham Hee sends his Sergeant to arrest thee for thy debt commands thee and all thou hast to bee sold But hee doth but dissemble and hide his fatherly affections as once Ioseph did his brotherly His meaning is in conclusion to forgiue thee euery farthing He scorches thee with the heate of his wrath and afflicts thee with a maruellous thirst like that of Diues But in the middest of thy extremity hee releeues thee as once Hagar opening thine eyes to see that Zach. 13. 1. blessed Fountaine issuing out of the pierced side of Christ He troubles thy heart and stirres vp the mud of thy guilty conscience but it is no otherwise then the Angel troubled the poole of Bethesda Gen. 9. now mayest thou expect health and helpe The raine-bow though it threaten raine yet it is a signe the world shall no more bee drowned with raine So the wounds and terrors of conscience though they threaten damnation to the Elect yet are they a signe that they shall not be ouerwhelmed with it Nay as the sottish security of the wicked is a signe of vndoubted destruction as in the olde worlds prophane worldlinesse and Baltashars sacrilegious carousings so contrarily heere terror and trouble are fore-runners of assured peace As when they cry peace peace heauen heauen hell and perdition are at hand so when these in their distresse cry Hell Hell damnation damnation Heauen and saluation are at hand And surely much better is this hell which leades vnto and ends in an eternall Heauen then that transitory heauen of secure worldlings which ends in an euerlasting hell Happy then are wee if wee haue so our hell in this life that we may haue our Heauen for euer in the life to come Be not afrayd of this hell which will deliuer thee vp safely into Heauen fear not that fal into Gods dungeon which shal rebound thee back into his palace Feare not that hand which in killing quickens in oppressing eases nay euen in the valley of death mayest thou boldly say Thy rod euen thy smiting rod comforts mee In the middest of these sore trauels and troubles looking with the Psal 23. trauailing woman to the ioyfull issue the happy birth of sauing Repentance Remembring that the short paine of this Surgeons cutting of thee shall ease thee of that continuall and farre heauier paine of the stone in thy heart Surely as when Christ called the blinde man the Disciples sayd Be of good comfort he calleth thee so may I boldly say to all burthened in consciencc Be of good comfort Christ Iesus calleth you saying Come vnto mee all yee that are heauy loaden that I may ease you If thou feelest the weight of this burthen now there is Matth. 11. one that will translate it from thy shoulders to his owne If not thou shalt certainely feele it in the life to come when thou alone must beare it for euer Is it not then a happy turne that since thou must be thus burthened here or hereafter thou art laden heere where Christ may ease thee so that thou mayst auoyd that clog in hell easelesse and eternall CHAP. III. Of the properties of Humiliation HAuing seene the order how Humiliation is 2. The properties wrought in the next place we must consider of the properties thereof which though they bee many yet may be comprized all vnder that one of Pauls 2. Cor. 7. 10. Godly sorrow For this sorrow or humiliation may bee called It is godly in foure respects Godly in diuers respects 1. Because it makes vs grieue for the offence of 1. It grieues for the offence God by our sinne and not so much for the offence of our flesh by the punishment For Paul opposeth it to worldly sorrow which is for crosses and punishments The repenting Israelites sorrow is thus described by Ezechiel They shall remember mee because Ezech. 6. 9. I am grieued for their whorish hearts c. and they shal be displeased in themselues for all their abominations The ground of their griefe was that they had grieued God with sinning and not that God had grieued them with punishing By this we may iudge of our sorrow For godly sorrow laments after the Lord as it is noted in those Israelites 1. Sam. 7. 1. not after our own ease and freedome from paine Godly sorrow sayes with Dauid Take away the trespasse not with Pharaoh 2. Sam. 24. the plague Nay it submits it selfe to any punishment so the sinne may be pardoned Let thy hand be vpon me and my fathers house And though there were no punishment yet it would grieue in kindnesse towards so mercifull and forgiuing a father that is offended The humiliation of the wicked is not so If there were no sparkes of fire in hell there would bee no drops of water in their eyes Their humiliation is wrung from them onely by the sting and guilt of conscience which may enforce them to let goe their hold of sinne and wish for the time to bee rid of it The distemper and paine of the dogges stomacke not the dislike of the meat in it makes him cast vp his gorge For afterward he returnes to his vomit And so doth the humbled hypocrite to his sinne Which shewes he fell not out with his sinne but with his affliction whereas godly humiliation in true Penitentiaries proceedes from the loue of God their good father and so from the hatred of that sinne that hath displeased him As it was the sent of the mirrhe Christ had dropped vpon the barre that wakened Cant. 5. 4. 5. the drousie spouse and made her bowels to fret within her in godly indignation And the sweeter that mirrhe did smell the more filthy was the sent of her sinne in her nostrils 2. Because where the least seede of it is it driues 2. It driues to God vs to God in our greatest extremities to seeke ease and remedy of him The Reprobate in their sorrow runne away from God euen as a dogge from him that whippeth him Iudas in his terrors ranne to the high Priests the enemies of Christ and to the halter Cain to building of cities Saul to musicke to a witch and at last to his sword But the godly they euen out of the deepes with Dauid and Psal 130.
