taught in the Temple and no man laid hands on him for his houre was not yet come Doct. 3 The third conclusion now followeth to be discussed Mans time is short in this world Moses speaketh of daies not of yeeres nor of months nor of weeks but vseth the shortest diuision in nature There are as many little skuls in Golgotha as there bee great ones Parents doe as often mourne for the death of their children as children doe for the death of their Parents Iacob when Pharaoh asked him how old he Gen. 47. 9. was answered that his daies had beene both few and euill The Hebrewes were wont to reckon their life thus first they did deduct the time of their sleep so that if our dayes bee threescore and ten by this reckoning fiue and thirtie are stricken off at one blow because we spend halfe our time in sleepe Secondly from the remainder they tooke away the time of youth which Salomon saith is vanitie as Eccl. 11. 10. though it were not worthy to be called life but vanitie Thirdly they did subtract the daies of sorrow because all that time a man findeth no sweetnesse in life but is still ready to propound Iobs question Why Iob 3. 20. is light giuen to him that is in miserie and life to them that haue heauie hearts So then these three being â—ducted to what a smal epitome is mans life brought â—oses may well speake of daies and of numbring them â—o for by this time Iacobs proposition will be found â—â—e that the daies of our pilgrimage are but few Daâ—d it seemes was well acquainted with this manner of â—ckoning when he tooke so short a mete wand to measure his life by a cubit is too long a span is enough Behold thou hast made my daies as an hand Psal 39. 5. breadth and mine age is nothing in respect of thee Psal 39. 5. There are foure reasons why God hath appointed mans time to be so short The Rauen the Eagle the Elephant the Lion the Hart fulfill their hundreds But man dieth before his eye be satisfied with seeing or before his eare be satisfied with hearing Reason 1 First lest they should deferre to do good as our manner is vpon hope of long life Reason 2 Secondly to withdraw our hearts from the loue of this world Reason 3 Thirdly because so long as we liue in this world we â—e absent from the Lord. 2. Cor. 5. â— Reason 4 Fourthly because this world is full of miseries Iob â—4 1. The pleasures of this world are but the painted â—â—ce of Iezabel euen but an outside of pleasure Indeed the wicked seeme to liue a pleasant life none like them but there is a worme that gripeth and gnaweth them inwardly they haue many times a trembling heart and the King of feare doth almost kill them in their secret chambers The pleasure of this world is but like lightning simul oritur moritur it suddenly appeareth suddenly againe vanisheth away It is sweete but withall short like hunting and hauking much cost â—nd care for a little sport Vse 1 Our conuersation then must be in heauen euen while we liue heere on earth and we must vse this world as though we vsed it not There is but one way of comming into the world Vnus introitus but a thousand waies of going out of the world Mille exitus Our life is full of holes and weâ— are readie to take let in water at a thousand breaches Ferro peste fame vinclis algore calore Mille modâ—â— miseros mors rapit vna viros Our time slippeth away with great velocitie It was a worthy answere of Artabanus to Xerxes that mightie Emperour of Persia when the Emperor had viewed his great armie athousand thousand drinking riuers dry as they went hee fell a weeping because it came into his mind that within the space of an hundred yeeres not one of that goodlie companie should be left aliue I would that were the worst said Artabanus It would grieue a man viewing at this present so great a congregation of so many worthy and worshipfull persons so many of our good friends and honest neighbours to consider that within an hundred yeeres peraduenture fourescore or threescore and tenne for the Psalmist saith Mans age Psal 90. 10. is therabout to consider I say that not one in this assembly shall be left aliue but another Preacher in this Pulpit and other hearers in those pewes and seates sitting and treading vpon your dead bodies where you now you sit and tread vpon others but I would that were the worst Vse 2 Secondly because our time is short we must worke and walke while wee haue the light the night commeth Iohn 9. 4. wherein no man can worke we haue a great taske and a short time allowed we had need to listen to the clocke and to count the houres your life is short and the art of saluation is long in learning The way to heauen cannot be trodden in a short time Astronomers say that the space betweene heauen and earth is nine hundred thousand miles some speake of much more The ascent then will aske both time and labour ease and delay neuer brought any thither Our Sauiour when he found his Disciples sleeping said vnâ—o Math. 26. 4â— them What could ye not watch one houre So may â— say Can you not be contented to feare God to heare his word and to pray vnto him for a few dayes It may bee thou hast yet twentie yeeres longer to liue in this world and wilt thou not bee contented to serue God as a Christian for twenty yeeres that thou maist liue as an Angell for a thousand It may bee thou hast but ten yeeres to continue in this world and wilt thou not addict thy selfe to the honourable seruice of God for ten yeeres that thou mayst liue and raigne for euer with Christ in his presence Thou wouldst for a worldly preferment serue tenne yeeres and canst thou so far vndervalue eternall glorie as to thinke that any thing on earth deserues more cost and paines in the seeking and obtaining then the ioyes of heauen do But it may be thou art an old man hast one foote in the graue already then I say as Bias one of the seauen wise men of Greece said of a Mariner Nec inter viuos â—ec inter mortuos Thou art not to be reckoned among them that liue nor among them that be dead And as Paul speaketh of a widdow liuing in pleasure that she 1. Tim. 5. 6. â—â— dead while she liueth When wil ye begin to abound and to be rich in good workes Is it not time to begin to be religious when the pillars of your house begin to shake when your windowes begin to bee darke doe you meane to goe away in a sleepe and shall your life passe away like a dreame Came ye naked of goodnesse from your mothers wombe and will ye goe backe againe naked brought

TO THE HONOVRABLE AND HOPEFVLL YOVNG GENTLEMAN SIR GILBERT GERRARD KNIGHT OF the Noble order of the Bath The Ladie Elenour his wife together with her right Worshipfull mother Mistris Thomasin Dutton all increase of true happinesse SYR being called vpon to prepare this sermon for an impression and finding a necessitie laid vpon me to satisfie the importunitie of some friends it came into my minde to tender the same to you And I doe more then hope that you will kindly accept it from me and entertaine it as a testimonie of my loue because it was both preached in your hearing and at the funerall of that worthy and Worshipfull gentleman Master Dutton your father in law And I am the rather incouraged to commend it to your vse and to write your name as it were in the front of it because albeit you liued not vnder my Ministerie yet in as much as out of that part of your faire inheritance which lyeth here I receiue some part of my maintenance and sustentatiâ—â— I must needs thinke it my duty to bestow some spirituall gift by which I might euidence my care of your soules health and something further you in your passage towards that Countrey which I trust you seeke Let it not displease yâ— therefore that I haue presented you with these few notes buâ— vouchsafe them a roome of lodging among your bookes I confesse in this scribling age many are carried with a busie hâ—mour making the times surfeit with their needlesse papers â— would be loath that anie man who hath in him anie true worth and is of a right religious vnderstanding should so thinke of meâ— wherefore to cleere my selfe to euery sober iudgement this I say I was drawen into this course in presenting this sermon to publique view by the earnest request of some friends and by the good approuement of sundrie fearing God The matter of this sermon is excellent if the workemanship were suteable I might boldly say It were no disparagement to you to afford your patronage and to haue your name prefixed Whatsoeuer my defect maie be I beseech you be pleased to accept from me this small present small not in respect of the matter of it for no man can treate of a more worthie subiect But in regard of the manner of handling Accept it I saie as an vndissembled argument of the sinceritie of my affection as a testimonie of my well wishing to your soule and as a pledge of my setled purpose to labour to deserue your loue And to be a continuall petitioner to the throne of grace that you and your good Ladie your Worshipfull mother in law with the rest of your line and familie maie be kept by the power of God through faith vnto saluation From Great Budworth in Cheshire Yours in all readinesse to doe you my best seruice in Christ Iesus RICHARD EATON PSAL. 90. 12. Teach vs so to number our daies that we maie applie our hearts to wisedome THis Psalme was compiled by Moses at what time the spies returning from the land of Canaan discouraged their brethren and the Lord for the murmuring of the people pronounced that all aboue twenty yeares old Caleb and Iosua only excepted should die in the wildernes Now wheÌ„ Moses heard this general sentence of death denounced both against himselfe and all those that â—ame out of Egypt with him he frameth this Psalme and praieth thus for him selfe and all the rest But I may not insist in generalls the foundation of my speech shall onely rest vpon this 12 verse The words are so plaine and manifest that I may say of this Scripture as Augustin speaketh Desiderat auditorem Tract 50. in Iohannem magis quÃ m expositorem It requires rather an attentiue hearer then a skilfull expositor I will draw the substance of mine intended speech vnto two generall heads the first a prayer of Moses Teach vs so to number our daies The second a reason why he prayed thus That wee maie applie our hearts to wisedome Out of these two generall heads I will distinguish fiue seuerall conclusions First Death is the hauen of euery man Moses maketh this prayer in the plurall number Mans time is set and his bounds appointed which he cannot passe Peach vs to number our daies there is a number of dayes Mans time is short Moses mentioneth not yeeres nor monethes nor weekes but dayes Although mans time be short yet he remembreth it not for we are apt to forget death If we could remember death it would cause vs to apply our hearts vnto wisedome Thus you see how this Scripture naturally brancheth and deuideth it selfe into these particulars I wil not offer any violeÌ„ce in the handling of this text I will not set any of these points vpon the Racke I will not proffer to stretch mine arme higher then my stature may carry it I will not trouble you with Idle curiosities I will returne therfore to the head of the race where I first began Doct. 1 The first conclusion to be examined and the first doctrine to be extracted is this That death is the hauen of euery man What man liueth saith Dauid And Psal 89. 48. shall not see death The Apostle saith It is appointed vnto all men to dye once Heb 9. 27. And if we looke into the catalogue of those long liued Fathers before the floud though some of them liued 700. some 800. some 900 yeers and vpward yet at length this Epitaph was written ouer euery one of their heads Mortuus est He died Though euery day of our life were Gen. 5. as long as the day of Iosua when the Sun stood stil in the midst of the heauen yet the Sunne will set and go Iosh 10. 13. downe and it will be night at last Euery man must acknowledge with Iob Corruption is my father and the worme is my mother therefore Esay witnesseth that â—ob 17. 14. Esay 40. 6. All flesh is grasse All these testimonies as a cloud of witnesses confirme this doctrine There are also two reasons to inforce the same Reason 1 First all men are dust in their originall the matter whereof we are made is the dust of the earth And therefore to dust we must againe returne And this Gen. 3. 19. reason is vsed Gen. 3. 19.
