himselfe Finallie the last state of a synner is worse then the first in respect of God who punisheth synne For the order of iustice requireth that the more graces and benefits that a man receiueth at the Lordes handes and the more he contēneth and abuseth them that the more seuere and gréeuous shall be his punishment And therefore it stādeth euerie man and woman vpon to take héed that he receiue not the grace of God in vaine That we abuse not Gods mercy by adding now sinnes to our old For as the Apostle sayth Rom. 2.4 because the Lord is mercifull patient long suffering shall wee therefore make this an occasion of sinne God forbid I denie not but in what hower soeuer a sinner shall repent and turne frō his wicked waies that the Lord will receiue take him to mercie if he repent indéede from his hart and haue a full purpose by the helpe assistance of Gods grace to sinne no more the which purpose and intention if the sinner haue not and when he hath it vnlesse he put in practise and execute it his repentance is no repentance hee doth but dallye and mocke with God Almightie hee feareth not his iudgements and therefore he shall neuer be partaker of his mercie And thus ye sée how the last estate of a sinner is worse then the first in respect of God himselfe The conclusion of the whole is this So shal it bee with this wicked generation By these wordes we may perceiue that our Sauiour Christ ment that the hath bin spoken of the Scribes and Pharises who contemned and maligned him for all his miracles and wonders that he wrought among them Let vs déerly beloued for our profit and benefit apply them to our selues and thinke that they are spoken vnto euery one of vs here in particular let vs not abuse the graces and mercies that the Lord hath bestowed among vs as the Scribes and Pharises did least according to the example of the repossessed man we be accounted among that wicked and peruerse generation If I should reckon vnto you the benefites and graces wherwith the Lord hath blessed our Countrie and the aboue other nations I should hold you ouer long Of an infinit number take a few and besides the common benefits note the particular and so I make and end We were al possessed with the Spirit of blindnesse as all other natiōs who tempted vs to al vncleannes to Idolatrie and superstition in as vile and as wicked maner as euer the Gentiles or Pagans were It pleased the Lord to expell this spirite of darknes from vs and to send vs the light of his Gospel by the which hee hath illumined vs that there is no nation at this day vnder heauen that hath it more bright Hee hath sent vs besides a most gratious Quéene and Prince vnder whose most happie gouernment we haue liued these 30 yeares in great peace tranquillitie more then any Nation round about vs he hath mightily miraculously defended both her and vs from the inuasion of our enemies that thought to haue swallowed and deuoured vs vp quicke What shall I say what mercy hath he not shewed vs what wonders hath hee not wrought amōgst vs. And yet behold are we not become almost vnmindful of these benefits do we not abuse these mercies of almighty god in promising vnto our selues peace securitie and thereby remain in our former sinnes and wickednes Bee our liues any thing amended our manners and behauiours bettered whereby the Lord may bee the more glorified and our selues comforted I feare me no How doth sin abound yet amongst vs how doth euerie one walke after his owne wicked concupiscence How doth sin shew herselfe almost with vncouered face If I should enter into the particulars I should amaze you Pride aboundeth lecherie ouerfloweth couetousnes rageth and not in any small portion but in summo gradu in the highest degrée Is it not to be feared if it so continue but the the vncleane spirit wil returne againe and that if hée come do you not thinke that hee will bring seauen worse then himself and that God for our vnworthines wil permit him to make reētrāce So should our end be worse than the beginning So should we haue the maledictiō of that wicked generation That the wrath of the Lord may be auerted frō vs in this I can say no more but repent amend for the day of the Lord is at hād For the which the Lord grāt vs all grace to prepare our selues to be in a redines But for as much as no man is able to make this preparation of himselfe without the especiall grace of God let vs with humble and penitent hartes craue of our heauenly Father for his Sonne our Sauiour Iesus Christ his sake that hee would vouchsafe of his infinite goodnes and mercie to take from vs our stonie hartes and put into vs fleshy hartes that may bee pliable vnto his holye will and so to be gouerned by his holie Spirite that in al the assaultes of our enemie he may haue no power ouer vs but that by his power and might we may vanquish and ouercome him and that we may be so fortifyed that no aduersitie put vs downe no prosperite puffe vs vp and that on euery side wée being fenced by the Lords most heauenly protection Sathan that goeth about like a roring Lion séeking whom hee may deuour may make no reentry Graunt this O heauenly Father for thy deare sonne Iesus Christ his sake together with the holy spirite To whom being thrée Persons in Trinitie and one in vnitie be all glorie praise power and dominiō both now and euermore Amen Imprinted at London by Iohn Windet dwelling
