God saith to Abraham Thou shalt goe to thy Fathers with peace HEere God himselfe nameth Death a Going home into his Country and to come to his Parents and Friends And withall vpon the iourney to be conducted with peace As a childe that hath beene long amongst strangers reioyceth in his heart that hee may once goe home so should wee also reioyce when our deaths houre approacheth that wee may goe home into our euerlasting Country and with all Christendome haue an euerlasting Nuptiall day and

our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ by reason of our sinnes which hee took vpon him Thirdly and also out of the fearefull examples of holy Scripture how God alwaies punisheth the vnrepentant which continue in their sinnes and are bound to confesse the same if they will bee quit thereof and die happily Therefore should we poor creatures with the great fearefull miseries and woes wherein we alas through sinne are grieuously fallen repaire vnto our deare God with hearty sighing and wéeping earnestly call for mercy as the holy Prophet Dauid did also Enter not into judgement with thy seruant O Lord.

For the Cherubins and Angelles of GOD which are wholly holy doo couer their faces and feet that is to say all their glory works and dooings and will not bée praysed but doo sing with their voice their Gloria la●● and Gloria in excelsis Dee to the end that GOD the Lord onely may bée acknowledged for holy honoured and praysed But in such confession of sur let vs not créep into corners as Adam did Genesis the third chapter but call vpon God from the bottome of our hearts for grace and forgiuenesse through the worthy deseruing of Christ Iesus as ieremy the fourtéenth chapter Lord we acknowledge our wickednesse and the misdeeds of our fathers For we haue sinned against thee and the offenses wherwith wee haue angred thee are great But for thy names sake let vs not bee brought to confusion Let not the throne of thy glory be mocked Remember yet and let not thy Couenant with vs cease Thou art yet the Lord our God on whom wee hope for thou canst do all this So did Dauid pray in the 25 Psalme Remember not O Lord the sinnes of my youth nor my transgressions but thinke vpon me according to thy mercy for thy goodnes sake And in the two and thirtith Psalm hee speaketh very comfortably I said I will confess my transgressions and thou forgauest mee the wickednes of my sinnes Likewise Daniel in his ninth chapter prayed Lord our God c. we haue sinned haue alas bin wicked O Lord for thy righte ousnes sake turne away thy wrath and anger for our sins sake wee are blamed of all them that are roūd about vs and now our Lord God heare the prayers of thy seruant his complaints and behold with fauor thy holie place which is destroyed for the Lords sake So likewise should euery Christian comfort himselfe beléeue with his heart that hée for Christs sake through such faithfull prayer shall surely obtaine Gods grace and forgiuenesse of his sinnes as it is said and promised to all the faithfull Iohn 16. Verily Verily I say vnto you whatsoeuer you desire of the Father in my name he wil giue it you ●id Ieremy 14 saith Thou art the Lord our God and canst and wist doe all this same Amen Heere follow certain Prayers how a man should call to God for grace and forgiuenesse O Almighty and Euerlasting God most gracieus and mercifull Father I poore sinner acknowledge from my heart and confesse it also before thee with my mouth that I am alas a great sinner conceuied borne and growne vp in sinne and so haue many times transgressed thy holy commandements with evill sinfull vncleane and vnseemely thoughts wo●●● and wicked deeds All which I do repent from my very heart and pray and desire thee of thy Grace O heauenly Father indue mee with the Grace and forgiue me all my sinnes in the name of thy deare and onely Senne my Lord and Samour Iesus Christ in whom thou hast promised me comfort and remission of all my sinnes I comfort my selfe with this gracious promise Iohn 6. where thy deare Sonne saith Who eateth my Flesh and drinketh my Bloud That is Who beleeueth on mee hath euerlasting life and I will raise him vp at the last day Such godly and gracious promises of thy Son doe I trust vnto and beleeue and am certaine that I through such saith haue forgiuenes of my sinnes and shall bee a child of thy Kingdome and remaine so for euermore Amen Amen Another Prayer O Thou Almighty and Euerlasting God Father of our Lord Iesus Christ maker of Heauen and Earth and of all Creatures I poore miserable and sinfull creature come héere before thy diuine Maiesty full of sin and vnrighteousnesse and fall downe at thy féet before thy glorious Maiesty for I haue mightily offended thee my Lord and God and sinned against thy commandements and done against thy godly will But because I cannot other wise bee quit and free from this my heauy burthen but onely through thée my Lord and God Therefore doe I now from my very heart complaine vnto thee my woe and misery and especially what I haue at this present franed in and haue accomplished the same against thy godly will besides all other alas which I daily commit with deceit in shew and false heart with negligence euill lusts and otherwise whether it bee with euill thoughts words or workes wittingly or vnwittingly secretly or openly whether it bee against thee or the loue of my neighbour All which I acknowledge vnto thee and confesse it also from the bottome of my heart and pray thee that through thy grace thou wilt graciously and fatherly forgiue mee all my sinnes Haue respect onely to the bitter death Martyrdome and bloud-shedding of thy onely deare Sonne in whom thou art pleased who innocently died for mee poore sinner O my Lord and God looke vpon thy deare Sonne and especially on the great loue which hee shewed vnto vs poore sinners when hee went so patiently and willingly to death O looke vpon the great obedience which thy deare Sonne hath ●us●●red for our sakes and h●●●bled himselfe vpon the er●●●● de●th graue and hell O looke also v●on the great gl●●● to wherewith thou hast adorned thy Sonne in th●● thou hast made him Lord ouer all For which ●our 〈◊〉 b● on ●ee and ●●o●y ●●ou wouldst graciously ●e●●●●ue me this daies offence whereinto I by temptation 〈◊〉 s●llen with all my form●r sames which I haue done from my youth For in sinne was I conceiued borne and brought vp and yet doe liue therein without ceasing So that sinne hath gone through my whole bodie marrow and bones Therefore I beseech thee most gratiously to remit and forgiue me all such sinnes to cast the same behind thée and neuer thinke more on them nor punish my body or soule either in this world or the world to come for thou art rich vnto all that call vpon thée And because thou wilt not the death of a sinner but rather that he turne from his wickednes and liue therefore do I pray thee to giue me a good meaning to amend my life especially in that thou hast promised mee also through thy deare Sonne to giue mee whatsoeuer I aske in his name Therefore do I pray thee

and made him a great Prince ouer all the Land of Egypt So will God also doo with vs his deare children a certaine time will he leaue vs to bée troubled in misery but afterwards will he accept of vs and take pity with his euerlasting mercy will perfectly reioyce vs preserue and bring vs to euerlasting glory A Prayer O Lord God heauenly father which of thy fatherly well meaning wilt keep me thy deare Child héere on earth vnder thy rodde to the end I may bée like thine onely Sonne both in passion and afterwards in glorie I pray thee comfort mee in my tribulations and crosses with thy holy Spirit that I despaire not but according to the promises of thy Sonne doe take sure holde of this comfort that the crosses of me and all faithfull be but a little and that thou wilt with thy grace accept of vs againe in our troubles with euerlasting pitty that euerlasting ioy may follow That I through this hope may with patience ouercome all misfortunes Amen Lamen 3. It is a precious thing for a man that he carry the yoke in his youth MAny a one doth GOD lay his crosse and yoke vpon betimes in his young bloud and youth Although our flesh and bloud doe shrinke for it and would gladly forbeare it yet should wee know that it is a costly thing for a man that hée be exercised from his youth vnder the Lords yoake and bée rocked with the deare Crosse for thereby teacheth hée not onely to estéeme much of Gods help but also to thanke God from his heart for his gratious care hath kept him thereby from so many terrible sinnes which the Aduersarie in his youth did trouble him with And because hee is from his youth vsed to the Crosse therefore is hee patient for hée knoweth well that he shall find no better life heere Therefore hath hee is minde and longing to another world and occasioned to pray vnto GOD for the gracious co●●●ing of his kingdome For such and the like causes will GOD preserue vs alwaies vnder his yoke For when one crosse is scant past there cometh soone another And heere must 〈◊〉 tell an example of a Christian Pastor and Preacher which soone after the beginning of the Gospel did preach in the precinct of Weida This honest and godly man without doubt loued the Lord GOD and his holy Word entirely therefore was the Diuell his sore enemy And GOD the Lord through many afflictions did trie his faith For first not onely hée but his whole houshold wife and children were taken with a long lasting sickenesse of the French disease on which his wise and children died Not long after the horrible plague of Pestilence fell vpon him in the time of which sickneg the wilde-fire kindled in o●e of his armes that hee was forced to haue the same sawed off and was after wards bereaued of his senses that hée was kept in chaines Vpon whom the Lord shewed himselfe so gracious and merciful that he gat his senses againe But shortly after when hee sound himselfe very ill and weake hee called on his deare God with these and such like words O Deare God I thanke thee for thy gracious helpe and euerlasting Redemption which thou hast shewed to mee poore sinner through thy deare Sonne Iesus Christ and let so happen vnto me that thou mightest preserue mee in the same thy euerlasting grace and mercie Oh how many tribulations and sicknesses hast thou layd die vpon me from my youth hast visited me with the French disease Pestilence hast let my wife children die sent the wilde fire into my arme to bee bereaued of my wits and memorie and hast giuen mee the same againe O my deare GOD what wilt thou doe more with me and what is thy pretence Euen at that houre as he thanked his deare GOD for his euerlasting helpe that hee had so heartily accepted of his Soule and yeelded him further to GODS will and pleasure without doubt for dissoluing of this life praying with Saint Paul with his heart the falling sicknesse tooke him by the meanes whereof hee departed out of this life but was perfectly heard As God now dealt with this Christian in sending him one sorrow after an other First on his wife then shortly after vpon his children and his owne bodie c. So will hee often times do with his Christians in this life from their youth and it shall stand vs in good stead For nothing can bee dannable to them which bée in Christ Iesus This same is somewhat a horror for our senses to hear but a Christian should yéeld himselfe with patience vnto Gods will and pleasure as this Christian man did For like as the Lords yoake is a very costly thing so againe is it also a costly thing to beare the same with patience and tarry for his helpe Therefore whosoeuer is subiect vnder the Lords yoke and crosse let him here learne with the Prophet Dauid to comfort himselfe and to pray thus O deare God behold how I am heere in subiection vnder thy yoke with many miseries and troubles I know if it bée thy will that thy right hand can turne away all But if it bée not thy godly pleasure to helpe mee bodily as thou knowest what is best then giue mée the comfort of thy holie Spirit I reioyce and am glad of thy goodnesse that thou hast respect of my miserie and knowest my soule in aduersitie Psalme 31. I hope vpon thee for thou art mercifull My heart reioyceth that thou so willingly helpest Therefore O deare God although thou kill mee and let mée die vnder thy yoake and crosse yet will I not doubt nor despaire of thine euerlasting helpe A Prayer O Lord Iesus Christ the flesh is weake and vnpatient O deare Lord burne hew strike and plague mée how thou wilt I onely pray thee for patience and méekenesse Amen III. Wherefore God layeth the Crosse vpon vs. Esay 48. Behold I wil cleanse thee but not as siluer but I will make thee selected in the Furnace of Affliction for my sake will I doe it WE poore Creatures haue often gone away from God and forgotten him Therefore it is néedfull that he do cast vs into the melting Quen like vncleane and falsified siluer to bée clensed and purified to the end hée may againe haue a pleasure and delight in vs And so wée deliuered from sinne and comne againe into the feare of God may kéepe his word This is for all that no euill thing but the chiefest pretence and meanes that God spareth thy Soule taketh a while thy body thy goods wife and children c. Therewith hee thrusteth thée into the furnace of affliction that thou maiest thereby learn to acknowledge thy sinnes to be sorry for them to humble thy selfe before GOD and pray for Gods grace c. whereas otherwise if thou diddest not sticke in this furnace thou wouldest alwaies goe forward in sin and more and more fall into damnation But now whilst
