so Humble Yet such we read of Psal 12.4 who have said with our tongue will we prevail our lipps are our own who is Lord over us Malacy complains cap. 3.15 That the proud were called happy This is the cause of contention among People Prov. 13.10 Only by Pride cometh Contention but with the well-advised is wisdom O that men would marke such threatning Scriptures as I shall mention against Proud men Lev. 16.19 I will break the pride of your Power Prov. 15.25 The Lord will destroy the house of the Proud Prov. 16.18 Pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall Luk. 1.51 He hath shewed strength with his arm he hath scattered the proud c. James 4.6 God resisteth the proud but he giveth Grace to the Humble Pride is either in regard of God or men but I must not meddle now with those particulars Vse 2 A second use therefore is to comfort those that are Humble They are like God God will not despise such as be like himself He will teach them Psa 25.9 He will honour them Ps 113.7 8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill that he may set him with Princes even with the Princes of his People He will dwell with them as Isaiah 57.15 mentioned before Humility is the fore-runner of honour Vse 3 as a haughty heart is of destruction Prov. 18.12 Let the Sons of men be in love with this Grace Who would not be like God Motive 1 This Grace of Humility is a most excellent Grace Knowledge Wealth Honour zeal neither of them is comparable to it Yet further think upon the necessity of having it the want of it is a fore runner of destruction in the forenamed Prov. 18.12 No entring into the Kingdom of Heaven without Mark 10.15 Thirdly Consider the sins we have committed the judgements we have thereby deserved For the first what good have we done in our places with our wealth how unprofitably have we spent our time And then consider wrath is abroad the world This is not a time sure for men to be proud The 2. branch Doctr. But I proceed to the second thing held out concerning God viz. his dignity Though he will be likened to a man yet it shall be to a man that is a King Surely Gods humility ought not to cause disrespect of his dignity Kings are to be honoured 1 Pet. 2.13 The King is Supream and therefore to be submitted unto to be honoured v. 17. And if Earthly Kings how much more the King of Heaven the King of Glory God is the King of Glory Psalm 24. ver 7.8 9. and 10. In every one of those four ver he is called the King of Glory Lift up your heads O ye Gates and be ye lift up ye everlasting doors that the King of Glory may come in Who is this King of Glory the Lord strong and Mighty the Lord Mighty in Battel Lift up your heads O ye Gates even lift them up ye everlasting doors and the King of Glory shall come in And twice in the last verse Who is this King of Glory The Lord of Hoasts he is the King of Glory Selah He is a King that remains for ever whereas other Kings die and leave their Kingdoms to others Psalm 29.10 the latter part of the verse Yea the Lord sitteth King for ever His dominion is an everlasting dominion and his Kingdom is from Generation to Generation Deuteronom cap. 4. ver 34. Reason Although God be Humble yet he must not be despised for this Reason Because Humility in great Ones call's for the more respect We have a saying of a proud heart and a Beggers purse when we will set out an absurd Ass Surely even so To say a Mighty man and an Humble Soul is to give a notable Character of one worthy to be had in Honour The Humble carriage of Abraham a man of Might he had in his house thirty eight P●sse nollenobile * Gen. 14.14 Trained Souldiers got him a great deal of respect among the children of Heth. You may read the story at large your selves Gen. twenty three ver six unto the thirteenth He stood up he bowed himself to the people of the Land even to the children of Heth. ver 7. And again Abraham bowed down himself before the People of the Land So I say Gods humbling of himself should rather be a cause why People should give him the greater Honour and Reverence But I must draw to an end I therefore shall speak a word by way of Use and Application and so end this first particular to wit the feast maker and also this Sermon Vse 1 The first Use shall be to reprove sharply that Jndian-like frame of Spirit so common among men Those poor Infidels stand in great awe of their Hoggery God as they call him Abamaccho because he doth them much mischief But their good God Tanto they care not how they use Surely they are much to blame that abuse the riches of his goodness and forbearance and long-suffering not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth them to repentance Romans 2.4 O despise not the Humble and plain wayes of the Lord undervalue not his Gospel because the poor receive it Matthew 11.5 and the rich blaspheme that worthy way Ja. 2.7 If you do provoke him and grieve him and slight him he will make a way for his Anger Psal 78.40 41.50 He will be terrible the heathen shall perish out his land Psal 10.16 The Lord reigneth let the People tremble Psal 99.1 He is a great King and his name is dreadfull among the Heathen Malachy 1.14 They that abuse Gods kindness shall not gain by it They that scoff at his patience as 2 Pet. 3.3 c. or at the meaness of his worshippers Joh. 7 48 49. and the like shall find that blue-apron Mechanicks shall be too hard at last for Scarlet-coats and bring down the mighty from their throne Vse 2 Be of good cheer ye that honour God God will honour you 1 Sam. 2 30. Though God would walk low and seem to be not worth the looking after yet he will come at last to be glorified and admired by them that have beleeved his testimony and have worshipped him even in a stable and have kept the despised faith But here shall be an end The Second Sermon Mathew 22.2 The Kingdom of Heaven is like unto a King that made a Marriage for his Son WE have finished in this place of meeting besides divers other things dispatched the last time the first of those three Particulars noted in the predicate of this parabolical Proposition viz. the feast maker we have heard of that twofold representation of him as a man to shew his condiscension and humbling of himself for our good And yet a man that was a King to set forth his dignity and greatness over all Now the next thing we have to do The
