the Apostles to come rather to a Temperament for they proceeded neither to an absolute prohibition of the Mosaique Rites after conversion wisely considering that they might thereby have exasperated the Judaizing Zealots into an absolute Apostasie from the faith nor were they so regardless on the other hand of the liberty of the Gentile Converts as to require any other observances of them than such as they presumed were requisite in that exigency of affairs in order to a perfect union and agreement amongst them that they might thereby prudentially remove such occasions of difference as might obstruct the growth and progress of the common Christianity in the world 3ly Be perswaded to the practise of this virtue because you thereby make the nearest approaches that the infirmities of Men and the circumstances of human affairs will admit to the Divine Oâconomy it self for what I beseech you is God's whole Government of the world but a moderation of the rigour of his justice with a temperament of mercy For if he should be extreme to mark what is done amiss as we are should pursue things to their utmost rigour and extent take advantage of all the forfeitures we make him and not recede one jot from his just pretensions against us Who could live if God should do this and it appears to me a very hard case that we cannot be induced to treat one another with the same temper that our common God treats us all with And this naturally leads me to shut up all with the sequel of the Text. Let your Moderation be known unto all men the Lord is at hand He is not far off in his final judgment of all flesh and then I am sure the best of us all will stand in need of that temper and moderation in him which we deny to one another He is at hand again not far off possibly in the execution of some tempââary and heavy judgments upon this sinful Land of our Nativity Sure I am that if an unnatural ingratitude unchristian animosities ill grounded jealousies unreasonable dissatisfactions sinful murmurings if I say in a word one of the worst abuses that ever was of one of the greatest of mercies in possession be a fatal fore-runner of the forest of Judgments in reversion we of all Mankind bid the fairest for them For if after God has unexpectedly dropt his mercies in our mouths we shall uâgratefully throw them up again will not the Divine indignation have just reason to use the same passionate expostulation with us that he did with the dull murmuring Israelites of old What could I haâe done more for my Vineyard that I have not done for it and to inflict likewise the same judgment upon us Behold your house is left unto you desolate If we will still persist to sacrifice our Holy Religion the interests of Truth and of the Gospel all in a word that is dear to us as mân or Christians to our passions animositiâs sâlf-will private interests notions or to speak more properly to we know not what why then we fall as ridiculous as unpitied victims God our deliverer with all the Nations round about us will justly laugh at our calamity moâk when our fear cometh and give us up to that destruction wherein we seem to delight In a word the Lord is at hand I hope in the midst of this present Assembly and when thou Lord shalt come to judg the World ' twilâ not then surely be enquired who has most stiftly and vehemently asserted the little inferior opinions perswasions and interests of his own particular party but who in his life and conversation has most promoted the true Spirit and Genius of thy holy Religion for its own sake and most laboured the advancement of one of those great and glorious ends thou camest into the world for of Peace on earth and good will a mongst men FINIS Books lately Printed for Richard Chiswell THe Case of Allegiance in our present circumstances considered in a Letter from a Minister in the City to a Minister in the Country A Sermon preached at Fulham in the Chappel of the Palace upon Easter day 1689. at the Consecration of the Right Reverend Father in God Gilbert Lord Bishop of Sarum By Anthony Horneck D.
