unruly age What age so overflowing as this of ours with the sins of drunkenness swearing uncleanness revelling and all manner of debaucheries with pride malice oppression covetousness with envy blasphemy sabbath-breaking and all sort of profanations and contempt of God's Ordinances And whereas formerly sin hath sought a covering and the works of the wicked have been in the dark Isa 29.15 they that were drunken were drunken in the night 1 Thes 5.7 Now these hellish acts are naked and destruction hath no covering We may justly fear a scourge to come for these crying crimes Jer. 5.29 Shall not I visit for these things saith the Lord Shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this What wonderful and horrible thing was committed in the land of Israel which is not to be found amongst us and ours attended with such aggravations as the sins of Israel were not capable of What are they punished and shall we think to escape Did the rod and vengeance meet with Israel Numb 32.23 and will not our sin find us out The things which happened unto them saith the Apostle were for ensamples and they are written for our admonition 1 Cor. 10.11 upon whom the ends of the world are come I shall not take up time further to evince how ruleless lawless and controlless the lives of men now are 'T is so obvious that there 's no place for a plea no room for excuse 'T is against all light all rule both of Nature and Grace of Law and Gospel Mat. 13.25 Sad it is that these tares should be the fruits of that Gospel-seed which so long hath been sowen amongst us Deut. 32.5 that we should thus requite the Lord for the ample expence of Grace and Love which he hath been at about us Well may the Lord take up a grievous complaint against us Hósne mihi fructus Now oh that such whose lives are thus repugnant to all good rule and order would but seriously consider their deformity with the impendent danger the shame to which they expose themselves and the dishonour they cast upon the name of God and duely compare their fluid sensual lusts with the future abiding wages of sin Rom. 6 23. and so see how transient and frothy the one is but how remedilesly lasting the other will be for then as they could not but be convinced of their folly so surely they would not but turn their course and with Ephraim being thus turned repent and being thus warned smite upon the thigh and be ashamed yea Jer. 31.19 even confounded to bear the reproach of sin upon them Thus I have done with the former part viz. the Subject proposed and therein the detection of the unruly the discovery of whose sin does implicitly couch a warning in it in as much as where sin is opened and particularly applyed there also the persons whose sin it is are put in mind of their evil that being warned they may flee from it And to that end is this discovery thus far made I should now go on with the latter part viz. the act or duty enjoyned But the other business of this day will not seasonably allow us any more time at present to lengthen our discourse in Rather therefore than too far to entrench upon your patience and therein to retard the procedure of your further work I shall here chuse to put a period to this task leaving the remainder to a following opportunity Now to the eternal and glorious Trinity Father Son and Holy Ghost be continually ascribed glory praise power dominion and thanksgiving henceforth and for evermore Amen Here ends the first Sermon A Warning-Piece FOR THE UNRULY The Second SERMON PREACHED The day following viz. May 9th A Warning-Piece FOR THE UNRULY 1 Thess 5.14 Warn them that are unruly THe last day you know we made an entrance into and some progress in these words wherein there is 1. An Act enjoyned Warn 2. The subject or persons about which this Act is to be conversant viz. the unruly And hence was observed That the unruly are to be warned We then treated about the subject or persons who these unruly are or who they are that are to be accounted so I need not now take up time to remind you of the particulars and procedure of the yesterdays discourse in that respect And therefore having done with the inquiry into the subject or persons viz. Who these unruly are We come now to the act or duty enjoyned viz. they are to be warned To give warning of sin or danger 't is a charitable work and duty God himself does not pour out his wrath upon the wicked but he first warns the wicked of his way Noah was a preacher of righteousness to the old world 2 Pet. 2.5 and his blows in the building of the Ark were as so many warning-pieces discharged to the ungodly God had given him warning and he as Gods messenger gave warning to the old World Heb. 11.7 So did Lot to Sodom whose righteous soul in seeing and hearing was vexed from day to day with their unlawful deeds 2 Pet. 2.8 How many warnings did God by Moses give to Pharaoh before the floodgates of the mighty waters were opened on him And how did the Prophets warn Israel before their captivity came Did not the Lord send unto them all his servants the Prophets daily rising up early Jer. 7.25 and sending them Though they ill requited his love and kindness For they mocked the messengers of God and despised his words and misused his Prophets until the wrath of the Lord arose against his people 2 Chron. 36.16 till there was no remedy And how affectionately was Jerusalem warned by our Saviour Christ before its final overthrow He beheld the city Luk. 19.41 42. and wept over it saying If thou hadst known even thou at least in this thy day the things which belong unto thy peace How often would he have gathered her children together Luk. 13.34 as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings before their house was left unto them desolate The Lord gives it in special charge to the watchman of the house of Israel to hear the word at his mouth Ezek. 33.8 9. and warn them from him further telling him that no less than his soul and the guilt of the sinners blood upon it lyes at stake if this duty be neglected If he do not speak to warn the wicked from his way that wicked man shall dye in his iniquity but his blood shall be required at the watchmans hand Nevertheless if he warn the wicked of his way to turn from it if he do not turn from his way yet the Watchman hath delivered his own soul Thus we see to give warning to the unruly hath been Gods usual way and here it is our commanded duty Warn them that are unruly Now we are to enquire how the unruly are to be warned And here
