to vile gaines to mean inconsiderable advantages to raise your fortunes temporally on the ruines of your selves eternally The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death The glosse on the words applyes them to the injustice of pleading It is a dismall aphorisme and it should not have dropt from my mouth had it not proceeded from the Holy Ghost Spira the disconsolate example of despair first maintained false causes in Law afterwards renounced true tenets in Religion To be a corrupt Advocate was his first step towards hell I shall not recommend * Tertul lian for a pattern whose quitting his profession of an Advocate upon his conversion to Christianity was a very unnecessary rigour But beware of Tertullus stamp whose eloquence dispenced with his conscience Let not the lustre of your Rhetorick abate the light of your Religion Let not any exquisite ability in the law prepare a fucus a paint for oppression or malice let not so sweet an oyntment be spilt upon an unsavoury cause to be ingeniously ungracious accurately irreligious It is an uncomfortable commendation an unhappy elogy to be a better lawyer then a Christian to be more acute then upright to plead well in ill causes It is a perfume to the fame of Ivo that he pleaded onely for the afflicted vindicated the oppressed being entitled the Advocate of the poor and canonized for a Saint Give not cause to present or succeeding ages to apply to any of you that character of Coelius an Advocate which sticks a slurre a taint to his name unto this day for to be reputed worthy of a better mind of an honester soul for to be the pearl of Advocates in the French style and yet not to appertain to Gods cabinet in the day that he shall sort make up his jewels To conclude this caveat Let not your counsells your pleadings be tempered with more grains of the Serpent then the Dove Let not your profits exceed eclipse your graces The fees of just causes onely can entayl blessings to your families and assure comforts to your souls With melting bowells I tender this unwelcome meditation to your candid censures to your retired mortifyed thoughts which lay upon my own being call'd to this place like a weight of lead untill I utter'd it I have freely discharged my conscience in the presence of God and this Congregation and should now proceed from the injustice of the Pleading to the injustice of the Verdict of the Decree of the Record But the time hath trod upon my heels like a wearied traveller I must take up my rest before I have scarce finisht half my journey and like Issachar must stoop betwixt two burdens I have the rather enlarged my meditation on the three first rounds of Injustice because Courts are like Elements the corruptions the distempers above take their rise from exhalations from below Unjust causes indirect evidences and pleadings are the source and bane of all judiciary proceedings Well we may juggle with men on earth we cannot play the Sophisters with heaven and put a cheat on our God As for all sorts and degrees here present When you hear the trumpet sound let it be an alarm to your soules to rowze you to an apprehension of the generall Sessions of the great judgement of the world when we shall all appear before the judgement-seat of Christ not onely appear but become transparent like Drusus fancyed house of glasse Our minds shall be as clearly seen as conspicuous as our faces Then all the Iudges of the earth shall stand at the Bar. The Counsellors must plead for themselves render an account for every idle word If for every light frivolous pro otioso much more pro odioso for every false scandalous plea Then the books of records our own consciences shall be unclasped to be manifest evidences of our secret sinnes in the sight of God of Angells and men No unjust causes no corrupt evidences or pleadings can taint this judgement no demurror can shift it off no quirk or subtlety reverse no power or authority repeal it Let us be awfully prepared conscientiously qualifyed at this great Sessions that at the approach of a farre greater we may be graciously summon'd and acquitted by the dreadfull Iudge of men and Angells that we may be refresht ravisht with the joy and solace of that sentence Come you blessed inherit the kingdome prepared for you from the foundation of the world Wherein God of his infinite mercy estate us for the merits of his Son and our alone Saviour Iesus Christ to whom and the Holy Ghost be glory honour power majesty and dominion ascribed this day and for evermore Amen Amen FINIS Tul. de leg. l. 3.
