God beleeue him to bee know him rightly behold him inuisibly conceiue him without Idolatry Remember euer his presence consider his powerfull prouidence Thou art of him thou art in him thou wast made for him Seeke his friendship force of nothing in respect of his fauour Loue him aboue all hold on his side against all and be subiect to him before all reuerence thou his maiestie obey his commands awefully in all actions seeke his glorie and praise his name continually that thou maiest of him be blessed eternally Amen The Picture of the holy Trinity GOD the true God is but one in vnity yet three in Trinity One in substance without diuision three in person by distinction the Father the Sonne and the holy Ghost In order one afore and after an other but essentially all coequall coeternall together Al God not three Gods yet euer three persons neuer the same in propriety maner of working Heere is admiration but no demonstration This Catholik and Christian verity is an innarrable mystery Precepts BEleeue this the word teacheth it but corrupt reason is against it Beware of curious searching it is a matter vnsearchable Stand not vpon this to know how it may bee subiect thy reason to faith in sobriety It is a godly ignorance in that to be vnskilfull which the Scripture concealeth Hee that suffers herein his reason to wade farther than faith may lose his reason and beliefe his Christianitie for infidelity Presume not maÌ„ in this matter aboue that which is writteÌ„ This is a deep mystery this doctrine of the Deity the inscrutable point in Diuinity The Lord giue thee true wisedome resolued faith with reuerend feare Amen The Picture of the Father IN the vnity the Father is the first in the Trinity He is not begotten but from euerlasting begetteth the Son of his whole substance He made all things by the Sonne through the holie Ghost What he willed hee made good and all of nothing by his word This gracious father of his mere mercie hath chosen many without their merite He calles his ere they come when they come hee confirmes their faith He knows them before they bee and makes theÌ„ friends by grace of deadly foes by nature of Sathans slaues his faithfull Seruants of Seruants deare Sonnes children adopted yea kings priests and Coheires with Christ He careth for his children wheÌ„ he mostcasts theÌ„ down He can allow them their godly will but he permits them not to be wantoÌ„ when they do offend hee will fatherly forewarn if they repent he will not punish He is full of commiseration he doth speedily pardon the Penitent and withall sheweth great gladnesse to doe them good He doth send them his spirit to assure theÌ„ of peace freely promiseth to bestow on them grace either to preueÌ„t their fal or to pardoÌ„ their fault Though we be neither worthy of beeing nor breath and deserue nothing yet he affoords vs his blessing and giueth needfully anything Earthly Fathers are such as they be for a seasoÌ„ but this Heauenly Father is so for euerlasting He forbeareth with patience and keepes his in eternal remembraÌ„ce He hateth neuer where hee loueth euer Bountifull hee is in his blessings largious in his liberality full graciously fauourable without end in goodnesse Hee is strict but not extreame in iustice Hee calleth man to make satisfaction vpon paine of destruction yet if man can make no payment his mercy hath ordained meanes to discharge the debt Ere sinfull man do die his sinlesse Son must suffer death Wrath must not reward vs his great goodnesse will needs haue vs guiltlesse Is not his loue enlarged towards vs vnspeakably doth he not purchase vs peace with the price of bloud He giueth an obedient Sonne for a rebellious Sinner Wrathfull displeasure must sease vpon Gods naturall Sonne and an innocent that pity may be shewed to adopted childreÌ„ to escape torment The euer worthily beloued must vndergoe paines of Hel to make for the vnworthie of loue free passage to Heauen See Sinner see the incrediblenesse of so great grace Stand thou Sinner amazed at this woÌ„dermeÌ„t of good O matchlesse mercy Did euer a Father satisfie his wrath vpon his dearest son to appease his anger towards his deadly foe did euer a louing Father put his darling to death to preuent from his enimy the force of his wrath We see it not stories record it not nature suffers it not Yet this father killeth his best Sonne to kisse his worst creature forsaketh the Gracious for a time to receiue the Gracelesse to mercy for euer Precepts OH therefore let vs euer loue and praise the Lord this heauenlie Father for his goodnes Oh let vs not cease to declare the wonders which he doth for vs the children of men Amen The Picture of the Sonne THe Son is the second person in the Trinity the Fathers naturall Son begotten froÌ„ eternity the Image and substance of his Father without inequality From the father by the Holy Ghost hee worketh together with the Father in all things he is God he is man perfect in both natures He hath a Father he hath a mother eueÌ„ both truely also no father nor mother but respectiuely He is maÌ„-God God-maÌ„ yet not two persons but onely one Christ One not by conuersion but by assumption not by coÌ„fusioÌ„ of substaÌ„ce but by vnity of persoÌ„ This is the seed promised the prophet foretold the prince of peace This is Melchisedech the priest of the high God the king of Salem the Iewes Messiah the Christians Sauiour This is he that wil summoÌ„ all to appear giue true iudgemeÌ„t vpoÌ„ al both quik dead in the last day SataÌ„ here he vaÌ„quished subdued the flesh coÌ„quered the world He hath mitigated Gods wrath performed our work iustice is satisfied the law fulfilled Hee hath made an attonement obtained mercy freed vs froÌ„ punishment The father of his mercy gaue him for vs hee in loue bestowed himself of vs. The father did wil our peace hee spared no paines Hee came into the world poore to make vs ritch Hee was to the wicked a derision that wee with Angels might bee had in admiration He was blasphemed to make vs blessed buffeted and scorned to make vs secure in true comfort He wrought righteousnesse that wee might bee free of wickednesse Hee was innocent to procure vs pard on being penitent His holinesse is our happinesse his suffering our safety his grace our good Hee was heere in trouble for vs his life paineful and miserable so his end for vs dolefull and his torments intollerable In all his life that wee read of hee did neuer laugh but often lament Hee mourned to see mens madnesse and wept for their wo. Here he sighed sore to make vs sing hee sobd and sorrowed much to make vs merrie Hee bare vpon him vnutterable torment patiently that wee might auoid the plagues of God eternally His prayers were loud cries and strong to make our

CONTEMPLATIVE PICTVRES With WHOLESOME PRECEPTS The first part Of God Of the Diuell Of Goodnesse Of Badnesse Of Heauen and Of Hell By RICHARD BERNARD LONDON Printed by William Hall for William Welbie and are to be sold at his shop in Pauls Church-yard at the signe of the Swan 1610. TO THE RIGHT Honourable EDMVND Lord SHEFFEILD Knight of the most Noble Order of the Garter Lord PRESIDENT of his Maiesties Honourable Counsell in the NORTH and his Highnesse Lieutenant there And to the right Honourable that his louingly obedient Lady VRSVLA the Lady SHEFFEILD To the Right Worshipfull Ladies their Honourable issue the Lady SVVIFT and the Lady FAIRFAXE Heauenly ioies in Spirituall Meditations good conscience in obedience and endlesse glorie by faith in Christ that grace and peace euermore RIGHT HONOVRABLE RIGHT WORSHIPFVLL SIx diuided equallie to two is three or three to either Three is all so many to euerie one no lesse to any A man is either of God by regeneration liuing in goodnesse going to heauen or of the diuell by corruption practising wickednesse and running headlong to hell Two generations the heauenlie race or the Serpents seed two Regiments some slaues by sin to Satans controulement some in voluntarie subiection by grace to Gods gouernemeÌ„t two places to goe vnto the infernall bottomlesse pit or the celestiall endlesse paradise There is but one Conductour God in the spirituall brightnesse but one seducer principall the diuell in spirituall darkenesse One onelie true Religion the rest Idolatrie and Superstition There are no men Miscellane one betweene two of either and yet neither There is no meane or third place betwixt Hell below and Heauen one high The Pope with his Priests may teach a Purgatorie to picke the purses of foolish Papists but beleeue them those that list the word yeelds no such warrant to cause a iudicious and sound Protestant to feare or force of it Yet is there one an ill meane among men that loathed creature that Luke-warme Gospeller a time seruer professing after his pleasure as may stand with his profit this is the Miscellane man But is hee good then of God then goe such to heauen but God saith hee will spue them a tearme of loathing out of his mouth if bad then of the Diuell and so belong to Hell Three and three then God Goodnesse Heauen the Diuell Badnesse Hell my subiect matter empinfolds all none not within the compasse of these God either guides men by his holie spirit settles them in grace and rewards them in heauen with infinite glorie or the diuell beareth swaie in their hearts and holds them in wickednesse for which in hell they receiue wages due euen vnspeakable miserie Heere therefore RIGHT HONOVRABLE RIGHT WORSHIPFVLL of all these are certaine pictures not Popish and sensible for superstition but mentall for Diuine contemplation whereto are added wholesome Precepts for direction after godlie meditation Gods Picture to behold him that is so good to admire his excellencie to feare his Maiestie to praise his bountie The Diuels portraiture that he may be seene that is so euill to wonder at his wickednesse to loath his vilenesse to detest his wretchednesse and to beware of his deceitfulnesse Good is set forth to behold the comelie beautie of celestiall grace to embrace it with loue Badnesse is discouered that the vglie morphew of sinne may be seene to abhorre it Heauen is described to worke ioy in wel-doing by considering so great a reward of happinesse and that eternally Hell is deciphered to restraine from sinne by fearing the recompence of vengeance in internall torments euerlastingly He that doth good may turne and read of God his blessed guide and of heauen how in the end he shall bee in felicitie He that doth euill may read of the diuell his accursed leader and of hell and behold his future and dreadfull miserie This is the practicall vse of these pictures Right Noble Lord Still let the honouring of the gospell and hatred of Poperie praise your zeale this is of God Let still your speedie execution of iustice make renowned your seat of equitie this is goodnesse Your Honours loue to the truth and regard of the ministrie is not vnknowne your godly hate of Antichristianisme is no lesse manifest and is not a care in iust proceeding betweene these two words mine and thine commended These giue sure hope by Christ of heauen My praier is for your Honours constant footing in this happie path Indeede the way of wel-doing is strait and as narrow as strait hard to enter and as difficult to endure therein whereunto is required the wisdome of a Serpent and a Doues innocency Godlie sinceritie now adaies with Achitophels is held an affection from follie iust and resolute dealing but a desperate attempt The dislike of Lukewarmenesse and hate of a false religion with Machiauellian Time-seruers is iudged but a passionate rashnesse the heat of a spirit apt to Sedition What if this be the wicked mans censure What if the world the Schoole of Satans policie do thus condemne true Christianitie Must noble spirits set vp to aduance pietie yeeld to such hellish Hags and become slauish to the froth of vanitie A true childe of the Church instructed in the Schoole of Christ can not endure it his high spirit eleuated beyond the low pitch of corrupt reason in confederacie with flesh and blood possiblie cannot so debase it selfe This were to separate wisdome and innocencie to leaue religious sinceritie and to take vp other godlesse mens impietie Hee that can put in practise our Sauiours lesson to be as wise as a Serpent and as harmlesse as a Doue he may doe well Together are they good it is not seasonable to be in act while they bee asunder The first alone is but diuellish deceitfulnesse the latter by it selfe is but a good meaning sillinesse Hee that conioines them rightlie seekes his owne safetie Conscience will plead for innocencie God will defend it and prudent practise keeps an estate good maugre the enemies malice Where these two like to lodge and harbour in one heart that as rare as excellent a person may liue within himselfe comfortably among men peaceably and in the end die ioyfully my vnfeined wish to your Honour and to all that walke with God vprightlie Right honourable Lady Right Worshipful and Honourable

Lord children are dignified in the due fame and high promotioÌ„ of their parents The first are vnited by Gods ordinaÌ„ce the latter by natures influence Whom God then and nature hath cemented I in my
