doctrine Before I was afflicted saith he Ps 119. 67. 71. I went astray but now I keep thy word And a little after It is good for me that I haue bin afflicted that I may learne thy statutes For this cause ought we all to lift up our weake hands to God that our true repentance may turne away his anger In which hee threatneth to make our sunne to go down at noon because he hath Amos. 8. 9. found us in the number of those of whom Moyses prophesied thus in his song He Deut. 32. 15. that should haue bin vpright when hee waxed fat spurned with his heele thou art fatte thou art grosse thou art laden with fatnes therefore he forsooke the God that made him and regarded not the strong God of his saluation Questionles if Moses were now aliue Deuotion in prosperitie is the sister german to the papisticall daughter of ignorance to stand by behold our insoleÌ„cy he could not haue met more iumply with our sin This is euen the deuotioÌ„ that our prosperity hath brought foorth sister german to the papistical daughter of ignorance But how much better were it if wee would in the dais of our peace draw our sleepy souls with violence to the tribunal of god TheÌ„ should not our deuotion betied to affection neither shuld our righteousnes be like the deaw the morning cloud And there we have to learn that if god should never touch his child reÌ„ whoÌ„ he loveth which the rod Without affliction we forget God of his fatherly discipline but to take the bitte between their teeth so to run forwards never to be pluckt back but as it were alway to fil the belly like gluttons which delicat meats the ears ful of musick to flow in wealth to excel in authority to flo rish in honour abouÌ„d with friends richly appareled garded which routs of serving meÌ„ The vanity of the world and worldlings had in admiratioÌ„ revereÌ„ce in the face of y world but what theÌ„ alas shal become of our miserable wretched souls therefore let us look what is don in our inward world let us open I pray you the secret inward eies of our harts theÌ„ shal we wel understand that ther is a far other world then this where far greater riches richer treasurs are fouÌ„d of theÌ„ who seriously We must look for the world to come hartily trauel to seek theÌ„ out Wherfore we must not murmor against god for his louing correction wheÌ„ we set greater force by the pleasures of this world then the observatioÌ„ of his wil coÌ„mandemeÌ„ts Now concerning the humility of Iacob to his brother it is evident in his obeizaÌ„ce which he made to him In that he bowed himselfe before him it was the maner of the people that dwelt Eastward among whoÌ„ Iacob had bin to be curtous in such Iacob vsed the curtefie of people that dwelt Eastward kind of curtsy in bowing theÌ„selves down before great personages This exaÌ„ple serueth us that Iacob held the patience of hope because he beleeved therefore he made no hast but was conteÌ„t to be buÌ„bled to him ouer whoÌ„ his father in his prophetical blessing had ordeined him Lord not Gen. 27. 29. because he distrusted that which his Father had spoken but partly because he understood it spiritually partly because y time was not yet come in which the king dom of Israel which was of Iacob should exercise that dominioÌ„ ouer the Edomits The Edomies were Esaus posterity which was the posterity of Esau And although the wicked do usurpe the blessing of gon upoÌ„ the earth the lawful use wherof Heb. 1. 2. christ hath restored to none but his brethren yet the children of god are so lifted up which the riches of their hope that which an holy conceÌ„pt they vouchsafe not to giue at tendaÌ„ce upoÌ„ this world where they haue Heb. 3. 13. no abiding City but ley for the world where they look for one to come Thus shortly haue we performed that we promised in the beginning But before we go farther we haue one The promises made to the fathers Gen. 27. 29. thing here to obserue concerning the promises made to the fathers Isaac said Be thou lord ouer thy brethren and let thy mothers children honor thee But for al that Iacob stowyeth lowe to Esaus foote Likewise to Salomon it is said Thy throne O God is for euer and euer But Psal 45. he is no sooner dead but ten Tribes are rent from his sonne given to a stranger 1 Reg. 11. 31. and within 419 yeeres after his posterity were captiues in Babylon So christ promised to ratifie the doinges of Peter but Mat. 16. 19. Gal. 2. 12. 13. yet the spirit of God which spake in Paul withstood him to the face for his dissimulation Notwithstanding in al these promises the word of the lord standeth firme and his truth re acheth to the heauens In The word of God standeth firme Many of the fathers bare the person of Christ the scriptures many of the fathers bare the person of Christ and of the church and in Christ or his church those promises the fathers sawe then no otherwise than Abraham saw the daies of christ that is spiritually Concerning Peters promises I Aug. in Psal Peters promises am of Augustines iudgement that many things are spoken to Peter which haue not their ful sense but being applied to the whole Church for the authority of the keies where of the Pope boaffeth pretending Ioh. 20. 13. Greg. lib. 4. senten succession from Peter As it was given to Peter by name so was it also given to the rest of the Apostles generally without respect of persons and so to them only which persist in their doctrine As for the Heb. 1. 8. Salomon was a figure of Christ eternal throne promised to Salomon the Apostle to the Hebrewes sheweth that it both properly belong to Christ of whom he was a figure And as touching Iacob whose example we haue in hande the promise of his soveraignity was fulfilled in Dauids daies 2. Reg. 8. 20. from whose times the Edomites continued in subiection til the daies of Iehoram in whose time they rebelled for the sinnes of the people The Apostle minding Heb. 7. 9. to prove Melchizedech of whose order christ was a priest to be aboue Leui to whom tythes were due reasoneth thus The Priesthood of Melchisedech abouc Leui. To say the truth Leui also which receiued tythes paid tythes in Abraham for hee was yet in the loynes of his father when Melchizech met Abraham Euen The Edomites worship the ofspring of Iacob so may we reason in this promise in the respect of Eau that since the Edomites which came out of the Ioines of Esau did worship the offspring of Iacob therefore Esau did worshippe Iacob as Leui is said to haue worshipped Melchizedech Neverthelesse
