were to come before an earthly Prince how would we thinke with our selves before hand what gesture and language we should use before we came into his presence Doe you thinke this fitting to be done to an earthly King and shall the King of Kings my beloved be thus dishonoured in many places of this your City Surburbs by Anabaptists S●peratists Burtonists and Brownists and I shall acquaint you with the passage concerning the first founder of the last of these sects It was one Browne a Minister who would preach no where but in private houses and desert places and the like and the reason that he alleadged was because we had no true Church but marke the event a good benefice was offered this Brown which he willingly accepted of and he that before would not acknowledge a Church in England was content to be a Parson of A-Church a certaine towne in Northampton-shire loe here you may behold the sincerity together with the antiquity of these Brownists We read in the vision of Elijah that there was a Whirle-wind but God was not in the whirle-wind next an earthquake next a fire but last of all a still small voice and there God was When was there a greater whirle-wind and Tempest in the Land then now is and is there not an earth-quake in this land of ours when one shall goe away with five or 600. poundes a yeare and a poore Vicar for 40. pounds shall undergoe all the burthen There was also a fire but God was not in it when many of our protestant Martyrs in the Marian days were carried up to heaven like Elijah in chariots of fire But as for us throughout our second Deborah's days our second Solomons days in the raigne of our second Iosiah whom God long preserve among us we have do heare the still smal voice of the preaching of the Gospell of Christ Iesus we have had free liberty for the publike Worship and service of God even the full age of a man till now of late these disturbers of the peace of our Church have risen and the wind hath begun to blow againe in the whisling and blustering of these Brownists I know there are some who are ready to taske us for medling with these things we have nothing to doe with but one answere is what things are out of our reach or what men in points of Religion I am sure our commission extends to the highest Cedars in Lebanon as will as the Hysop that groweth upon the wall We are dogs of the flock and therefore when we see cause we may bark and live too Now I come to give you a view of the actors and those Young Men and Maidens c. The parties are mentioned by couples being tied two and two together Young men and Maidens old Men and Children c. And here is a double Caveat first against presumption and secondly against Despaire First that the younger sort might desire to praise God they are exhorted to addresse themselves to the service of God to remember their Creator in the days of their youth Secondly for aged men that they might not doubt of the acceptation of their service our Prophet exhorts them also for the first you know David cals upon the Sun and the Moone to praise God Should the Sun reply I will not doe it in the morning or at noone time but when I am about to sit or the Moone reply I will not in the full but in the waine or the Tree not in the spring-time or Summer but at the fall of the leafe so likewise thou Young man deferre not the time of Praising God take the swinge of thy youth do not deferre to apply thy self to the service of God till thy old age but remember that for all these things thou shalt come to judgement He that stiles himselfe by the title I am cares not for I will be or I have been but he that is at this present take heed therefore thou strong and lustie young Man the Divell that holds the now will every day tie a new cord about thee Qui non est hodiè cras minùs aptus erit consider this you that are yet yong whom the morning Sun of light adornes with his glorious rayes every-one doth not live to be old Let us not procrastinate Gods service For the longer we deferre to serve God the farther God's grace is distant from us and the dominion of Sathan is more strenghthened in our hearts the more we delay the more is our debt the greater our sin and lesse our grace I will commend this lesson unto all He that doth not repent to day bath a day more to repent of and a day lesse to repent in I shall only conclude this point with an hearty exortation for us all of what sect Age and degree soever I could wish that all our lives might end like this booke of Psalmes in blessing and praising Almighty God I will hold your patience no longer in suspence but will consummate all with the Psalmist Let young Men and Maidens Old Men and Children praise the name of the Lord Yea this name especially the name of our Lord Iesus Christ to whom with the Father and Holy Spirit be all honour Praise and glory now and for evermore Amen FINIS verse 2. verse 3. verse 4. verse 7. verse 8. verse 9. verse 10. verse 11. verse 2.
