vnto all men appeared and teacheth vs that we shoulde deny vngodlynesse and worldly lustes and that we should lyue soberly and righteously and godly in this worlde loking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the mightie God and of our Sauiour Iesus Christe who gaue him selfe for vs that he might redeeme vs from all iniquitie and purge vs to be a peculiar people vnto him selfe zealous of good workes Into both of these Christe leadeth vs for of our selues we are vnapt inable and moste vnworthy had we power to enter into the firste to winne the latter Dayly we be looking backe from the plough where vnto we are brought by Christ therefore vnapte of oure selues to his kingdome wee haue not so much power as to think a good thought but that sufficiencie which seemeth to be in any of vs the same is of God who doth both beginne the worke of God and performe the same in vs The better learned we be in God the more fully we see our vnworthines to be accompted members of his righteousnes As the Prophet Ezechiell sayth I will deliuer you from all your filthines c. Then shall yee remember your own wickednes and your deedes that were not good shall iudge your selues worthy to haue bene destroyed Zacheus was the best disposed man in that people and the more graces he had with the Centurion the more vnworthy he thought him selfe of Christes presence at his house but beeing comforted by Christ he tooke most ioy therein Finally let vs note the valor of this worde He leadeth vs. That we are righteous before God it is that Christe our shepheard leadeth vs by his spirite and fayth vnto the throne of grace where he presenteth vs as deare children to God his father and teacheth vs to crye vnto him Abba deare father Into which state by his spirite brought we firmely see our saluation to rest in him and that we are sealed to the Lordes saluation Yea and the witnes euen Gods holy spirite from that Throne is set strongly in our harts and within vs doth beare witnes against Satan sinne and the worlde that following our God by the fayth of Christ we are become his children so righteous that no man can condēne vs because our god hath in his Christe set vs free To the seconde he leadeth vs in him selfe first as Peter sayth Christ suffered for vs leauing vs an example that we should followe his steps vvho did no sinne neyther vvas there any guyle founde in his mouth vvho vvhen he vvas reuiled reuiled not agayne vvhen he suffred he threatned not but committed it to him that iudgeth righteously Secondly by his holy spirite he conducteth vs into all goodnes For eyther are we lead by Satan and fleshe vnto euill or by his spirite and grace into all godlynes In our selues there is no power of passing to good or will to stay from euill Of whom soeuer a man is ouercome his seruaunt he is sayth the Apostle whether of sinne vnto death or of grace vnto lyfe And those which be the sonnes of God are lead by the spirite of God and strengthned in the inner man Christ dwelleth in their harts by faith they are rooted and grounded in the loue of God they are by Christ coupled one to another in him through him they receiue the increase of the spirituall body edify one another and therefore they walke not as other Gentiles or them selues earst did in the vanitie of their mynde with darkened cogitations in blynde hipocrisie but they caste of the old man and passed conuersation and being thus renued they put on the newe which is created in righteousnes true holines after the will of God. Thus they folow by the spirite the commaundement of Paule in Christ saying Be ye followers of God as deare childrē And him self going before hath giuen vs a rule to measure the saintes imitatiō saying Folow you me as J folowe Christ The Lord graunt vs his grace and spirituall strength by prosperitie and aduersitie sycknes and health lyfe death thus to folow our leader and pastor Christe Iesus in true holinesse and righteousnes before him all the daies of this our present lyfe I dwell in speche to teach the sheepe of God onely and therefore I leaue to set you forth the pathes of the wicked goates whiche knowe not God nor can be accepted of him They runne through the pleasures of this lyfe and lyue at luste till death do sūmon their soules to the tribunal throne whence they are caste to euerlastinge torments and woe But or we passe this verse we ought depely to consider the conclusion of Dauids words which are This hee doth for his names sake From the beginning the godly haue felt his defending and guiding hande by his spirite they haue bene fedde and ledde the wayes to lyue in him but neuer was there any one or could the worthines of all being layd vp into one lumpe demerite the lest his benefits or euer challenge cause beyonde his owne names sake to moue his so greate mercy to his chosen churche and children For his names sake he hath conuerted and ledde vs that is for his owne glories sake and not our worthynesse hath hee thus blessed vs Then thus the Prophet sayth That the Lorde is our shepheard that he hathe chosen vs from the wicked woorlde to be of the nomber of his elect children and sheepe of his pasture that he temporally feedeth vs that he by his spirite and the ministerie of his gospell conuerteth vs that he maketh vs righteous before his Father in him and leadeth vs by the hande into all godly actions and christian lyfe that he conducteth vs into safetie from the furie of our crooked foes and euery way blesseth vs it is not for the excellencie of our beautie for that is but grasse not for our righteousnes for that is to his eyes as a filthy mēstrous cloth But it is for the same cause wherwith he hath euer bin prouoked and that is for his owne glories sake So haue the Fathers from time to time confessed condemning them selues for sinne and accepting his benefites for his mercye sake and his holy names sake This is that the Prophet would haue vs to reste in when he sayth that the name of god is a strong Towre of defence For his names sake he will leade vs and nourish vs for his great names sake he will not forsake his people and for his names sake he will farre hence remoue his anger from vs The same shall cause him to preserue his truth among the gentiles And that he continueth his gospell our gracious Queene and this quiet gouerment ouer vs it is not for our worthynesse who be all for our dayly sinnes most vnworthy of his mercyes as the Lorde for euer speaketh to all fleshe thus Be it knowne vnto
