body and soule under which they shall lye world without end But it is not so unto Gods children Thereby is put an end unto all their miseries Rev. 14.13 for they rest from their labours neither doe they hunger any more or thirst any more and all teares are wiped from their eyes Thereby are they freed from all sorts of sinnes Rom. 6.7 for hee that is dead is freed from sinne thereby from the being of sinne from the infection of sinne from the guilt of sinne from temptations unto sinne from the authority dominion and rule of sinne from the imputation of sinne from the reward or dangerous effect and consequents of sinne and that wholly fully perpetually Thereby from all sorts of crosses Thereby from all sorts of feares Thereby from all sorts of cares In a word thereby freed from all sorts of evill past present and to come Psa 57 1● They lie downe in sure and certaine hope of resurrection to eternall life I Cor. 15.42 43 44. Their bodyes are sowne in corruption but raised in incorruption sowne in dishonour but raised in glory sowne in weaknesse but raised in power sowne naturall bodyes as many goe heavily to bed but raised spirituall bodyes when through the glorious beames of the Sunne of righteousnesse shining on them they shall fully recollect both their spirits and strength in all which respects that of Salomon may bee applyed unto them that Their day of death is better then the day wherein they were borne 3. As every one is not alike willing to sleepe especially such as are unusually terrified by dreames so neither are all alike willing to die The godly wait for death Iob 7.14 All the dayes of my appointed time will I wait saith Iob till my change come yea Iob 14.14 with the Apostle desire to be dissolved Phil. 1.23 Heb. 9.27 and to bee with Christ But the ungodly whose consciences tell them that after death commeth judgement Act. 24.25 doe with Foelix tremble at the very mentioning thereof yet how loath soever to undergoe it what paines or charges soever they are at when they feele it or feare it approaching to remove it and put it off doe most of them even willingly as it were through intemperancie incontincencie carking cares and such like courses bring it upon themselves 4. As through sleepe they that are in misery are fitted and enabled to undergoe more misery and they that are in a good condition become capable of more happinesse so through death are the ungodly as it were fitted for hell the godly for heaven those for unconceivable misery these for unspeakable happinesse Take we it in this Treatise in its proper signification Sleepe how taken in this Treatise but for such a sleepe as is altogether unlawfull howsoever ordinarie and common for then to sleepe when wee ought to bee swist to heare and then to bee drowsie when it concernes us to be most vigilant as at the preaching of the word and prayer who will not judge the same unreasonable and so neither lawfull nor warrantable Be this then this unreasonable unlawfull unwarrantable kind of sleepe or rather sleeping evill sleeping at Church this inordinate ordinary bodily drousinesse I say whereby the Word read or preached becommeth wholly ineffectuall and no blessing from God but rather an undoubted curse can bee expected thereupon the subject of this discourse CHAP. II. How convenient and necessary it is to handle this Argument NEither needs any to wonder that this should bee medled withall Reasons shewing the utility and necessary of this Treatise or conceive him to have little to doe unlesse to keepe himselfe awake which busieth himselfe about such a sleepy subject These with the like warrantable reasons will questionlesse justifie our proceeding 1. Because this is by most no otherwise if at all medled withall then by a bare cursory speaking against it and that not of set purpose but occasionally upon the view of some one or other sleeping yea and that but in generall tearmes which how fruitlesse and ineffectuall it proveth to reclaime any there-from daily experience sheweth As therefore for the subduing of other vices Isa 28.10 there must bee both Precept upon precept and lyne upon lyne so must there be for the subduing of this 2. Because there are so many which offend herein and yet thinke that either they have not at all or but a little offended Those standing upon their justification These going about to excuse their practise Such had need to bee wrought on brought on to see the greatnesse of this sinne Gen. 19.20 and that as Lot of Zoar they may not conceit that it is but a little one Before those must the evils hereof bee laid open Reasons disswading from the same be propounded as in like manner their severall objections to the contrary plainly and solidly dissolved 3. Because there are so many which being customarily addicted hereunto yet exceedingly desirous and willing to leave the same are notwithstanding wholly ignorant how to effect it Those must bee made acquainted as well with the Causes hereof as Remedies how to be rid of the same 4. Because there are but a few which doe truly take notice of the danger ensuing hereby or consider the wrongs occasioned through the same The ignorant therefore and carelesse are to bee shewed that hereby they wrong the blessed Trinitie hereby are stumbling blocks unto others which through their evill example in this kind prove no leste wicked then themselves Hereby the Word becommeth ineffectuall and the Ministers thereof discouraged yea that this is one maine cause why they doe so long continue in their sinnes to the griefe and hurt of their ownesoules 5. Because this sinne cannot be so well met withall by speaking against it as by writing For if a Minister should in his Sermon when an occasion is presented unto him as when is there not inveigh against the same hee might haply through weaknesse or want of memory forget himselfe neither bee able againe without much adoe to come to his matter or rather be forced by new objects of drowsinesse to renew his reproofes and continually to goe on in that argument yea though there were no feare of such destruction yet in as much as a Minister is not to nominate any of his auditors in particular Neither haply if it were lawfull for him to name them knoweth hee his Auditors by name though hee should observe them to bee asleepe his reproofes must bee generall which as in other things who doth not almost put from himself as if they did not at-all concerne him or the Minister therein had no ayme at him Mat. 26.21 Our Saviour having informed his Disciples in generall tearmes not particularizing the name of any that one of them should betray him Verse 25. Indas thereupon who indeed was the villaine the man aymed at could say notwithstanding Is it I Master so doe too too many in
