A10931	Certaine sermons preached and penned by Richard Rogers preacher of Weathersfield in Essex, directly tending to these three ends. First, to bring any bad person (that hath not committed the sinne that is vnpardonable) to true conuersion. Secondly, to stablish and settle all such as are conuerted, in faith and repentance. Thirdly, to leade them forward (that are so setled) in the Christian life, to bring foorth the fruite of both. Whereunto are annexed diuers godlie and learned sermons of another reuerend and faithfull seruant of God, Mr. Samuel Wright, Bachelor of Diuinitie, late president of Sidney Colledge in Camebridge, deceased, tending also to the same ends, with diuers particular points in both, profitable and fit for these times.	Rogers, Richard, 1550?-1618.; Wright, Samuel, d. ca. 1612. aut	1612 (1612)	STC 21203; ESTC S116121	188,868	230

have_v thus_o speak_v that_o no_o good_a word_n nor_o show_v of_o godliness_n shall_v do_v they_o good_a unless_o they_o have_v such_o a_o heart_n also_o as_o i_o have_v describe_v can_v yet_o walk_v

that_o they_o fear_v god_n and_o therefore_o they_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o say_v it_o be_v pity_v they_o shall_v live_v if_o they_o do_v not_o so_o and_o yet_o behold_v without_o such_o a_o heart_n jewel_n as_o have_v be_v speak_v of_o which_o also_o be_v the_o hard_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n to_o attain_v to_o without_o that_o i_o say_v god_n himself_o be_v witness_n the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v not_o in_o they_o but_o far_o from_o they_o for_o from_o whence_o shall_v it_o come_v be_v it_o a_o sudden_a passion_n of_o the_o heart_n that_o rise_v and_o fall_v or_o that_o with_o the_o

to_o be_v choice_a ground_n and_o well_o fit_v and_o prepare_v that_o precious_a seed_n and_o fruit_n shall_v be_v sow_v and_o plant_v in_o so_o the_o heart_n have_v need_v to_o be_v make_v good_a

near_o it_o therefore_o when_o the_o lord_n speak_v of_o job_n and_o commend_v he_o for_o fear_v god_n he_o add_v this_o that_o he_o eschew_v evil_a also_o this_o will_v more_o lively_o appear_v by_o a_o similitude_n or_o two_o draw_v from_o common_a experience_n for_o this_o purpose_n note_v what_o force_n there_o be_v in_o natural_a fear_n the_o blind_a and_o superstitious_a people_n in_o the_o time_n of_o popery_n be_v make_v so_o afraid_a of_o spirit_n walk_v that_o they_o dare_v not_o go_v through_o a_o churchyard_n in_o the_o fearful_a time_n of_o the_o night_n and_o he_o that_o carry_v a_o great_a sum_n of_o money_n dare_v not_o pass_v alone_o by_o wood_n and_o mountain_n so_o he_o that_o be_v well_o season_v with_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n dare_v not_o drink_v up_o the_o draff_n &_o commit_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o time_n in_o the_o which_o he_o live_v but_o above_o all_o thing_n do_v careful_o avoid_v they_o and_o he_o that_o shall_v live_v among_o the_o common_a sort_n of_o

against_o they_o and_o see_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v such_o a_o grace_n and_o have_v such_o force_n in_o whosoever_o it_o dwell_v i_o may_v by_o this_o as_o a_o second_o argument_n conclude_v fear_n that_o the_o common_a professor_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o such_o as_o draw_v near_o to_o god_n with_o their_o body_n have_v their_o heart_n far_o from_o he_o have_v not_o his_o fear_n in_o they_o see_v not_o only_o they_o make_v no_o question_n in_o matter_n they_o doubt_v of_o to_o be_v evil_a for_o they_o rush_v and_o break_v through_o they_o bold_o but_o also_o in_o thing_n which_o be_v apparent_o wicked_a they_o do_v the_o same_o and_o neither_o blank_n nor_o blush_n at_o it_o when_o they_o have_v do_v whereas_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n bring_v forth_o most_o contrary_a effect_n as_o have_v be_v show_v commandment_n now_o let_v we_o hear_v of_o another_o fruit_n which_o come_v from_o such_o a_o heart_n and_o from_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n also_o joint_o together_o and_o this_o be_v a_o good_a and_o godly_a life_n and_o a_o keep_n of_o god_n commandment_n for_o so_o the_o lord_n say_v oh_o that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o heart_n in_o they_o that_o they_o do_v fear_v i_o and_o keep_v all_o my_o commandment_n always_o which_o to_o do_v what_o be_v it_o else_o but_o to_o lead_v a_o godly_a and_o christian_a life_n for_o as_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n proceed_v from_o such_o a_o heart_n as_o i_o have_v speak_v of_o so_o a_o godly_a life_n come_v from_o both_o for_o they_o breed_v not_o dumpishnesse_n deadness_n and_o melancholy_n as_o the_o wicked_a world_n imagine_v but_o a_o holy_a care_n and_o desire_v to_o please_v god_n in_o all_o thing_n neither_o take_v they_o away_o delight_v from_o a_o man_n in_o do_v the_o duty_n of_o this_o life_n but_o enable_v and_o strengthen_v he_o rather_o to_o do_v they_o in_o good_a sort_n such_o a_o life_n go_v with_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o though_o i_o mean_v as_o the_o lord_n also_o do_v by_o keep_v

from_o many_o great_a calamity_n wherewith_o the_o contrary_a life_n be_v fill_v another_o place_n fit_a for_o it_o shall_v declare_v and_o testify_v only_o let_v this_o be_v grant_v which_o can_v

second_o effect_n of_o a_o good_a heart_n namely_o a_o good_a life_n now_o follow_v the_o three_o

to_o tear_v the_o wound_n that_o we_o ought_v to_o heal_v and_o to_o bind_v up_o but_o this_o do_v the_o wicked_a when_o they_o seek_v to_o vex_v and_o grieve_v the_o faithful_a that_o be_v already_o

most_o for_o that_o no_o doubt_n many_o time_n he_o may_v do_v which_o be_v but_o in_o a_o very_a woeful_a case_n as_o our_o saviour_n christ_n say_v woe_n be_v to_o you_o that_o laugh_v but_o he_o

because_o these_o though_o they_o do_v not_o rejoice_v yet_o they_o have_v every_o one_o of_o they_o just_a cause_n to_o rejoice_v but_o to_o proceed_v have_v the_o faithful_a and_o righteous_a alone_a just_a cause_n of_o joy_n then_o if_o thou_o desire_v sound_o to_o rejoice_v practise_v careful_o and_o constant_o a_o just_a and_o righteous_a life_n for_o without_o this_o faith_n and_o

4_o last_o have_v the_o righteous_a man_n cause_n to_o rejoice_v then_o ought_v he_o to_o stir_v up_o himself_o unto_o the_o duty_n follow_v namely_o that_o he_o do_v rejoice_v indeed_o this_o

the_o rather_o be_v the_o righteous_a to_o be_v move_v to_o this_o duty_n because_o they_o have_v the_o lord_n commandment_n here_o by_o the_o apostle_n to_o stir_v themselves_o up_o unto_o it_o for_o

tend_v to_o our_o own_o joy_n and_o comfort_v 8.64_o if_o the_o king_n or_o prince_n command_v their_o subject_n to_o be_v merry_a as_o solomon_n 1._o king_n 8.64_o ester_n 5.1_o this_o alone_a stir_v

you_o do_v not_o understand_v what_o he_o mean_v i_o answer_v therefore_o further_o that_o by_o such_o a_o heart_n he_o mean_v in_o one_o word_n a_o heart_n convert_v to_o god_n more_o particular_o a_o heart_n break_v with_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n god_n and_o the_o fear_n of_o damnation_n yet_o quiet_v again_o and_o ease_v by_o believe_v the_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o sanctify_v also_o to_o newness_n of_o life_n even_o such_o a_o heart_n be_v fit_a to_o breed_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o in_o such_o a_o heart_n it_o can_v dwell_v and_o in_o no_o other_o and_o that_o be_v call_v by_o our_o saviour_n a_o good_a heart_n which_o only_o 6.46_o and_o no_o other_o can_v bring_v forth_o good_a thing_n for_o so_o he_o say_v a_o good_a man_n out_o of_o the_o good_a treasure_n of_o his_o heart_n bring_v forth_o good_a thing_n and_o contrariwise_o so_o that_o if_o the_o heart_n be_v good_a that_o be_v true_o turn_v to_o god_n than_o it_o be_v fit_v for_o that_o which_o god_n here_o wish_v to_o his_o people_n that_o be_v to_o fear_v he_o and_o keep_v his_o commandment_n and_o not_o else_o now_o for_o proof_n that_o it_o must_v be_v thus_o sin_n the_o scripture_n be_v clear_a and_o plentiful_a as_o first_o that_o the_o heart_n must_v be_v wound_v for_o sin_n and_o break_v with_o sorrow_n and_o fear_n till_o it_o be_v sick_a again_o be_v prove_v by_o the_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n where_o he_o say_v the_o whole_a have_v no_o need_n of_o the_o physician_n but_o the_o sick_a 2.37_o and_o they_o in_o the_o act_n be_v prick_v in_o conscience_n for_o their_o woeful_a

minister_v unto_o we_o or_o ease_v unto_o our_o soul_n this_o contrition_n and_o sorrow_n be_v one_o of_o the_o three_o thing_n which_o help_v to_o make_v the_o evil_a heart_n good_a and_o yet_o this_o without_o the_o other_o two_o be_v nothing_o to_o this_o purpose_n but_o fit_a only_a to_o raise_v up_o flash_n and_o fear_n of_o hell_n to_o the_o torment_a of_o the_o conscience_n and_o the_o hold_v of_o it_o in_o slavery_n and_o bondage_n for_o which_o cause_n it_o be_v call_v of_o the_o apostle_n the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n 8.15_o but_o this_o be_v right_o use_v make_v a_o most_o direct_a way_n to_o the_o renew_v and_o change_v of_o the_o heart_n that_o it_o may_v be_v good_a adjoin_v to_o proceed_v therefore_o the_o second_o thing_n require_v to_o make_v the_o heart_n good_a be_v faith_n unfeigned_a that_o the_o afflict_a mind_n may_v see_v and_o believe_v the_o sin_n of_o it_o to_o be_v pardon_v to_o the_o ease_n and_o quiet_v of_o it_o which_o then_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o it_o and_o most_o earnest_o desire_v it_o and_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v a_o free_a grant_n of_o it_o unto_o such_o as_o be_v thus_o prepare_v for_o it_o by_o earnest_n desire_v it_o 31._o even_o as_o in_o the_o forementioned_a place_n the_o lord_n say_v i_o be_o a_o physician_n for_o the_o sick_a 7.37_o and_o in_o another_o place_n i_o will_v give_v the_o water_n of_o life_n unto_o

may_v proceed_v from_o thence_o the_o party_n be_v thus_o persuade_v of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o the_o free_a remission_n of_o sin_n and_o what_o unlooked_v for_o contentment_n he_o have_v thereby_o break_v forth_o into_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n with_o admire_v his_o kindness_n and_o say_v what_o thanks_n shall_v i_o give_v unto_o the_o lord_n for_o his_o unspeakable_a mercy_n unto_o i_o what_o shall_v i_o offer_v unto_o the_o lord_n for_o this_o his_o great_a goodness_n and_o so_o he_o be_v constrain_v by_o the_o love_n of_o god_n so_o shed_v into_o his_o heart_n be_v persuade_v and_o enable_v in_o good_a sort_n to_o go_v about_o the_o duty_n which_o god_n require_v indevor_v and_o purpose_v to_o walk_v before_o he_o in_o uprightness_n and_o innocence_n for_o ever_o after_o and_o this_o desire_n of_o he_o not_o be_v frothy_a and_o rash_a stir_v up_o of_o more_o and_o painful_a fear_n as_o in_o many_o wicked_a one_o it_o be_v but_o proceed_v from_o faith_n which_o work_v

for_o the_o present_a only_a but_o come_v from_o so_o good_a a_o foundation_n and_o ground_n sanctify_v he_o effectual_o by_o work_v a_o dislike_n of_o evil_a because_o it_o be_v evil_a and_o a_o hearty_a and_o unfeigned_a love_n of_o all_o goodness_n which_o grace_n be_v thus_o wrought_v in_o he_o be_v the_o three_o thing_n require_v to_o the_o change_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o turn_v of_o it_o unto_o god_n and_o this_o must_v go_v with_o faith_n as_o we_o be_v teach_v in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n where_o he_o say_v 7.1_o see_v we_o have_v these_o promise_n let_v we_o cleanse_v ourselves_o from_o all_o filthiness_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n and_o grow_v up_o to_o full_a holiness_n in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n with_o this_o agree_v that_o of_o saint_n john_n 3.3_o that_o if_o we_o have_v the_o hope_n which_o be_v the_o daughter_n of_o faith_n we_o purge_v ourselves_o from_o sin_n as_o it_o come_v to_o our_o sight_n thus_o i_o have_v show_v what_o grace_n of_o god_n must_v necessary_o be_v plant_v in_o the_o heart_n that_o it_o may_v bring_v forth_o this_o fruit_n i_o mean_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n &_o that_o so_o it_o may_v become_v such_o a_o hart_n as_o god_n here_o wish_v the_o people_n when_o he_o say_v oh_o that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o heart_n in_o they_o now_o that_o the_o christian_a reader_n may_v not_o be_v deceive_v in_o judge_v whether_o he_o have_v such_o a_o heart_n or_o not_o i_o will_v add_v some_o caveat_n about_o these_o three_o property_n which_o make_v the_o heart_n good_a that_o he_o examine_v and_o observe_v they_o

preach_n of_o his_o word_n note_v and_o accuse_v and_o arrest_v they_o thereby_o that_o we_o in_o no_o wise_n resist_v that_o work_n of_o grace_n but_o submit_v ourselves_o thereto_o see_v he_o use_v
