vvelcome them as the father embraceth his Sonne If your hearts vvere with God durst the deuill fetche them durste these sinnes come at them Euen as Dina vvas defloured when shee strayed from home so is the hearte vvhen it strayeth from GOD Therefore call the members togeather and let them faste like a Queste of 12. men vntill they consent vpon lavv before any moe termes passe to geue God his right and let him take the heart which he woeth which hee would marrie which hee would endow vvith all his goods and make it the heire of the crowne When you pray let your heart pray when you heare let your heart heare when yee giue let your heart giue whatsoeuer yee doe set the heart to doe it and if it be not so perfect as it should be yet it shalbe accepted for the friend that giues it Nowe if you cannot command your hearts to turne vnto God because the diuel pleades custome the flesh will not agree to leaue her possession then remember what Christ saith When ye giue your almes the left hand must not knowe what the right hand doth so the fleshe must not knowe what the spirite doeth Thou must not make thy lustes of counsel but as Abraham vvhen he was bid to offer his sonne rose vp betime and left his wife at home and neuer made Sara priuie leaste she should stop him being more tēder ouer her children like vvomen thā the father is so thou must geue the heart to God before the fleshe heare of it for if Abigail had consulted vvith Naball that churle vvhether she should haue supplied Dauid vvith victuals or no vvhen hee sent that miser vvoulde neuer haue giuen his consent vvhich scolded so soone as he heard of it therfore she vvent alone and gaue that which he asked and neuer told her husband what she would doe least he should hinder her which sought her welfare his too so we should steale our hearts from the vvorlde as the world stole them from vs. I haue but one day more to teach you al that you must learne of mee therefore I vvoulde holde you here vntill you assent to geeue all your hearts to God If ye geue them not novv where haue I cast the seed hovv haue ye heard al this yeare If ye vvil geue them novv ye shall be adopted this day the sōnes of God and I shal leaue you in the bosome of Christ which vvil geue you heauen for your hearts The Lord Iesu graunt that my vvords be not the sauour of death vnto any soul here but that you may goe in strength thereof through prosperitie and aduersitie til you heare that cōfort from heauen Come yee blessed and receiue the inheritance Amen FINIS 2 Cor. ●● Pro 23 2● Iob 22 22.

is the vvorldes like Ieroboams vvife vvhich vvould not seeme Ieroboams vvife By this thou shalt knovve vvhether thou haste geuen it to him or no If thy hearte bee gone all vvill follovve as the Sunne riseth firste and then the Beastes arise from their dennes the Fovvles from their neastes and men from their Beddes so vvhen the heart settes forvvard to God all the members vvill marche after it the tongue vvil praise him the foote vvil follovv him the eare vvill attend him the eye vvil watch him the hande vvil serue him nothing vvill stay after the heart but euerie one goes like handemaydes after their mistresse this Christ verifieth saying Make cleane vvithin and all wil be cleane that is the eye and the eare and the tongue and the hande and all as the Father gaue vs all vvhen hee gaue his Sonne so vvee geue him all vvhen vve geue our hearts This is the melodie which Paul speaketh of Ephe. 5.19 Make melodie to the Lorde in your hearts shevving that there is a consort of all the members when the heart is in tune that it soundes like a melodie in the eares of God and makes vs reioice vvhile vvee serue him vve haue example hereof in Christ vvhich said that it vvas meate and drinke vnto him to doo his Fathers vvil and Dauid vvhich danced to see the Arke and the Israelites of vvhome it is saide that they reioised vvhen they offered frō their heart vnto the Lord. Therfore Salomon pricking out the heart for God speaks as though he vvold set vs the pleasantest and fairest and easiest way to serue him vvithout any grudging or toyle or vvearines touch but the first linke and al the rest vvil follovv so set the heart a going and it is like the poize of a clock vvhich turnes al the vvheeles one vvay such an oile is about the heart vvhich makes all nimble and currant about it therefore it is almost as easie to speake vvell and do vvell as to thinke vvell If the heart indite a good matter no maruell though the tongue be the penne of a ready writer but if the heart bee dull al is like a left hand so vnapt and vntovvard that it cannot turne itselfe to any good Therefore Gods suites haue so hard passage in our counsailes iudgemēts and parliamentes because men doo not giue him their hearts vvhich should be the first offering of all if they did giue him their heartes before they sit dovvne to heare his cause they coulde not denie him any thinge that is for his honor though it vver against their profite but as Christ saith not my vvill but thy vvill so they vvould say it is not our kingdom but thy kingdom it is not our Church but thy church therefore not our vvill but thy vvil not our lavv but thy lavv not our disciplin but thy disciplin raigne in it all that giue their heartes subscribe to this the rest say not thy wil but our wil not thy lavv but our lavve not thy disciplin but our discipline because as the Apostle saith they seek their own glory and not Christs Phil. 2.21 This hath bin the rubbe euer since reformation began Herod cannot see how he shoulde bee King if Christ should raigne therfore as the imagemakers cried stormed whē images should goe down alledging that they liued by this crafte so if ye mark what kind of men they be which preach and write and labor so hotly against the discipline it is they that are like to lose some of their dignities or their commodities by it if the gouernment should change the Scribes Pharisies resisted Christ more then the people because he denounced wo to them and misliked that they shoulde bee called Rabbi hovv hard it is to follovv Christ when he saith leaue all nay if hee bid vs to leaue any thing for him though vvee should leaue our very selues Mat. 16.24 The tongue will not praise because the heart doeth not loue the eare vvill not heare because the heart doeth not mind the hand wil not geue because the heart doeth not pitie the foot vvil not goe because the heart doeth not stir al stay vpon the hart like the Captaine that should giue the onset Secondly God requiring the hart sheweth that all the thinges of this worlde are not worthie of it nor a peece of it nor a thought vnlesse it be to contemne them as Salomon thought of vanitie Thirdly that all should consent so with the heart that we shoulde speak as if the heart did speak pray as if our heart did pray heare as if our heart did heare giue as if our heart did giue remit as if our heart did remit counsell as if our heart did counsell as the Apostle saith Doe all thinges heartily Coloss. 3.23 which if we would keepe nothing that we doe should trouble vs because nothing is troublesome but that vvhich goeth against the heart Fourthlie that vve shoulde serue god for himselfe and not for our selues as he vvhich giues his heart dooth all for loue This christ requires vvhen hee castes off that disciple vvhich offered to follovv him for aduantage The birds haue nests the foxes haue holes saith christ but the sonne of man hath not a place to hide his head shevving this disciple if he vvill follovve him he must not looke for a place to hide his head vve must leaue all to follovv christ as Peter did and not seeke al by follovving him as they that vvent after him for bread Fiftly that vve should not serue god by fits as vve vse to pray vvhen the night comes to hear vvhen the Saboth comes to fast vvhen Lent comes to repēt when death comes but the seruice of the heart is continuall seruice like in that 1. Thes. 5 Reioyce euermore praye continuallie in all thinges geue thankes Who is this which reioiceth and praieth thanketh continually The tongue praieth but sometime the eare attēdeth but sometime the hand giueth but sometime but the heart prayeth and praiseth and vvorshippeth alvvaies a man may serue God alvvaies vvith his heart and neuer be vvearie because the heart cannot serue him vnlesse it reioyce in his seruice and therefore they praised God vvith musicke vvhich did not delight god but shevved that they delighted in his seruice as they did in musicke 1. Chr. 15.16 but if the tongue or the hande or the eare thinke to serue God vvithout the heart it is the yrksomst occupation in the vvorld the houre of tediousnesse like a long sicknesse hee is tired before hee beginne and thinketh himselfe in the stockes till the sermon be ended till his praier be doone that hee may bee at libertie and turne to his byas agayne Lastly this shewes how God mislikes our coldnesse in hearing or praying if wee cannot say with the Virgin My hearte doth magnifye the Lord. Al that comes short of this is hipocrisye and pleaseth GOD like the
