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

the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v take_v away_o heaven_n that_o be_v the_o gospel_n shall_v be_v take_v away_o from_o they_o now_o the_o gospel_n be_v call_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n or_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n because_o it_o be_v that_o powerful_a mean_n or_o instrument_n that_o god_n have_v appoint_v for_o the_o pull_n of_o we_o forth_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o darkness_n and_o

call_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n to_o distinguish_v it_o from_o all_o eorthly_a kingdom_n such_o as_o many_o imagine_v and_o the_o apostle_n long_o dream_v the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n the_o

who_o shall_v be_v the_o great_a and_o make_v suit_n for_o the_o place_n of_o great_a dignity_n as_o the_o son_n of_o zebedeus_n 20.21_o one_o to_o sit_v at_o his_o right_a hand_n the_o other_o at_o his_o left_a but_o this_o kingdom_n as_o it_o bear_v the_o name_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n for_o it_o be_v a_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a kingdom_n not_o earthly_a and_o pompous_a in_o glory_n to_o the_o sight_n and_o view_v of_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o our_o saviour_n be_v demand_v in_o luke_n by_o the_o pharisee_n when_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n shall_v come_v he_o answer_v 17.20_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n come_v not_o with_o outward_a observation_n neither_o shall_v man_n speak_v of_o it_o lo_o it_o be_v here_o or_o lo_o it_o be_v there_o for_o behold_v the_o

we_o and_o therefore_o the_o law_n of_o our_o king_n do_v not_o bind_v the_o outward_a act_n only_o but_o his_o law_n bind_v the_o very_a conscience_n and_o he_o search_v and_o try_v as_o himself_o

〈…〉_z it_o be_v spiritual_a second_o this_o kingdom_n be_v heavenly_a because_o it_o be_v a_o righteous_a joyful_a and_o peaceable_a kingdom_n 14.17_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n say_v the_o apostle_n to_o the_o roman_n be_v not_o meat_n and_o drink_v but_o righteousness_n and_o peace_n and_o joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n it_o consist_v in_o the_o inward_a righteousness_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o

by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n 5.5_o now_o this_o gospel_n which_o be_v the_o powerful_a instrument_n of_o god_n for_o the_o erect_n of_o this_o his_o kingdom_n in_o we_o and_o be_v therefore_o call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n in_o this_o place_n be_v here_o commend_v unto_o we_o by_o a_o parable_n the_o effect_n whereof_o as_o i_o say_v be_v this_o that_o how_o great_a a_o reckon_n soever_o man_n make_v of_o other_o thing_n and_o how_o small_a and_o slight_a account_n soever_o they_o make_v of_o the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n note_v yet_o whosoever_o he_o be_v that_o come_v to_o know_v the_o incomparable_a value_n and_o excellency_n of_o it_o he_o will_v think_v no_o pain_n too_o great_a nor_o cost_n to_o much_o that_o he_o may_v obtain_v it_o nor_o any_o care_n too_o great_a to_o keep_v it_o when_o he_o have_v it_o but_o rather_o he_o will_v part_v withal_o he_o have_v house_n land_n good_n pleasure_n friend_n and_o whatsoever_o else_o than_o he_o will_v forgo_v so_o precious_a and_o so_o invaluable_a a_o jewel_n as_o he_o see_v the_o gospel_n to_o be_v but_o for_o our_o more_o clear_a understanding_n of_o this_o parable_n we_o be_v to_o know_v that_o the_o gospel_n or_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v here_o compare_v not_o to_o the_o person_n as_o the_o word_n may_v perhaps_o seem_v at_o the_o first_o to_o carry_v it_o when_o it_o be_v say_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v like_a to_o a_o merchant_n man_n seek_v good_a pearl_n but_o to_o the_o pearl_n the_o rich_a and_o precious_a pearl_n which_o the_o merchant_n find_v so_o that_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o they_o have_v be_v lay_v down_o in_o this_o form_n and_o manner_n the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v like_a unto_o a_o most_o precious_a pearl_n respect_n which_o a_o merchant_n have_v find_v that_o seek_v for_o good_a pearl_n sell_v all_o that_o he_o have_v to_o buy_v it_o according_a to_o this_o exposition_n i_o will_v handle_v the_o parable_n we_o be_v therefore_o to_o understand_v that_o the_o fruitful_a and_o kind_a hearer_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v resemble_v here_o to_o a_o merchant_n man_n and_o that_o in_o three_o property_n though_o they_o be_v not_o all_o commendable_a neither_o therefore_o be_v the_o hearer_n a_o profitable_a hearer_n till_o he_o be_v commendable_a so_o that_o the_o best_a hearer_n in_o his_o beginning_n and_o first_o estate_n that_o he_o be_v in_o to_o god-ward_o thereby_o be_v liken_v to_o a_o merchant_n man_n and_o to_o such_o a_o one_o as_o by_o the_o kind_n of_o his_o traffic_n and_o merchandise_n whereabout_o he_o be_v occupy_v seek_v pearl_n for_o as_o he_o do_v so_o every_o hearer_n at_o first_o seek_v pleasure_n and_o profit_n etc._n etc._n that_o be_v his_o pearl_n second_o he_o be_v compare_v to_o a_o merchant_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o event_n that_o come_v after_o his_o seek_n that_o as_o he_o seek_v common_a pearl_n light_v sometime_o on_o a_o pearl_n of_o great_a price_n so_o many_o a_o hearer_n while_o he_o be_v busy_a about_o commodity_n and_o pleasure_n begin_v to_o see_v in_o the_o gospel_n preach_v a_o pearl_n of_o great_a price_n than_o he_o have_v find_v before_o that_o be_v assurance_n of_o salvation_n three_o and_o last_o this_o hearer_n be_v compare_v to_o the_o merchant_n in_o another_o respect_n namely_o of_o the_o effect_n that_o follow_v for_o when_o he_o have_v find_v that_o pearl_n of_o great_a price_n he_o sell_v all_o that_o he_o have_v and_o buy_v it_o so_o the_o hearer_n that_o have_v find_v this_o pearl_n of_o salvation_n in_o the_o gospel_n that_o he_o never_o find_v before_o and_o know_v the_o value_n of_o it_o he_o set_v light_a by_o all_o his_o common_a pearl_n and_o former_a delight_n and_o sell_v they_o all_o away_o to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v enjoy_v this_o to_o prosecute_v these_o three_o therefore_o in_o order_n that_o you_o may_v have_v the_o right_a use_n of_o this_o parable_n understand_v that_o the_o hearer_n be_v compare_v to_o set_v it_o down_o brief_o to_o the_o merchant_n in_o three_o thing_n to_o wit_n in_o seek_v find_v and_o buy_v happy_a in_o seek_v good_a pearl_n in_o find_v one_o of_o great_a price_n in_o buy_v that_o and_o sell_v all_o for_o it_o of_o these_o in_o order_n more_o large_o the_o first_o property_n therefore_o of_o the_o merchant_n fit_o resemble_v the_o estate_n and_o condition_n of_o all_o man_n that_o be_v hearer_n for_o all_o seek_v pearl_n that_o be_v they_o seek_v for_o that_o which_o may_v in_o their_o opinion_n make_v they_o happy_a and_o bless_a man_n and_o look_v what_o they_o have_v imagine_v in_o their_o own_o conceit_n to_o be_v like_a to_o bring_v they_o to_o be_v happy_a that_o they_o labour_v and_o by_o all_o mean_v endeavour_n to_o obtain_v in_o that_o i_o say_v the_o hearer_n be_v like_a to_o a_o merchant_n man_n that_o care_v not_o to_o travel_v by_o wet_a and_o dry_a by_o sea_n and_o land_n so_o that_o he_o may_v store_v himself_o with_o rich_a and_o precious_a pearl_n for_o there_o be_v no_o man_n but_o if_o he_o look_v into_o his_o own_o heart_n and_o diligent_o examine_v himself_o he_o shall_v find_v something_o which_o above_o all_o other_o thing_n for_o the_o time_n he_o do_v affect_v and_o whereunto_o the_o sway_n of_o his_o desire_n carry_v he_o and_o that_o thing_n be_v the_o pearl_n of_o that_o man_n and_o he_o use_v all_o the_o mean_n he_o can_v to_o compass_n and_o attain_v it_o thus_o one_o man_n study_v and_o bend_v all_o his_o pain_n and_o care_n only_o for_o this_o how_o he_o may_v live_v at_o ease_n and_o in_o pleasure_n and_o voluptuousness_n another_o he_o seek_v after_o gain_v and_o profit_n and_o to_o add_v house_n to_o house_n and_o land_n to_o land_n a_o

as_o he_o say_v to_o the_o like_a purpose_n in_o another_o place_n harlot_n and_o publican_n shall_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n before_o the_o chief_a priest_n and_o the_o elder_n of_o the_o people_n which_o yet_o be_v nothing_o likely_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o man_n so_o we_o read_v that_o they_o who_o be_v mocker_n and_o rail_v on_o the_o apostle_n so_o far_o be_v they_o from_o savour_v their_o heavenly_a doctrine_n yet_o when_o the_o lord_n in_o his_o mercy_n towards_o they_o 2.37_o cause_v they_o to_o attend_v to_o peter_n sermon_n reprove_v their_o sin_n they_o be_v so_o prick_v in_o their_o conscience_n that_o they_o come_v to_o he_o and_o the_o other_o apostle_n for_o further_a instruction_n and_o comfort_n and_o obtain_v it_o samaria_n that_o have_v long_o be_v bewitch_v by_o simon_n magus_n the_o sorcerer_n 8.8_o yet_o at_o the_o preach_n of_o philip_n a_o thing_n very_o unlike_a to_o come_v to_o pass_v be_v convert_v to_o christ_n so_o as_o the_o fruit_n thereof_o appear_v not_o to_o be_v small_a namely_o that_o it_o bring_v great_a joy_n into_o the_o city_n 15.1_o so_o they_o who_o be_v notorious_a offender_n come_v flock_v about_o christ_n to_o hear_v he_o when_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisy_n not_o only_o do_v not_o so_o but_o scorn_v that_o they_o shall_v and_o therefore_o it_o may_v just_o be_v lament_v that_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o with_o credit_n and_o authority_n in_o a_o sound_n and_o plain_a manner_n plant_v in_o such_o place_n where_o it_o be_v want_v and_o where_o it_o be_v like_a to_o do_v much_o good_a as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n bewail_v it_o 9.36_o when_o he_o see_v the_o people_n scatter_v as_o sheep_n without_o a_o shepherd_n and_o will_v that_o prayer_n shall_v be_v make_v to_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o harvest_n 38._o that_o he_o will_v scud_v labourer_n into_o his_o harvest_n for_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o number_n will_v embrace_v it_o joyful_o who_o now_o for_o that_o they_o know_v not_o the_o power_n and_o worth_n of_o it_o pass_v by_o it_o and_o scorn_v it_o as_o nothing_o or_o little_a worth_n object_n and_o whereas_o some_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o say_v we_o may_v easy_o guess_v what_o good_a it_o be_v like_a to_o do_v if_o it_o be_v in_o such_o place_n by_o the_o small_a account_n that_o be_v make_v of_o it_o where_o it_o be_v

they_o which_o be_v disperse_v to_o one_o body_n of_o the_o church_n and_o doubtless_o if_o the_o pracher_n themselves_o be_v man_n of_o sincerity_n love_n gravity_n and_o will_v put_v on_o the_o person_n of_o the_o people_n to_o consider_v their_o ignorance_n forgetfulness_n looseness_n unsettledness_n and_o other_o infirmity_n and_o apply_v themselves_o unto_o they_o as_o their_z needs_o do_v require_v and_o will_v seek_v to_o win_v they_o rather_o than_o set_v up_o themselves_o none_o need_v to_o doubt_v but_o that_o they_o shall_v persuade_v many_o to_o become_v true_a christian_n and_o to_o be_v tractable_a to_o good_a duty_n when_o they_o be_v kind_o and_o wise_o advise_v and_o direct_v oh_o they_o that_o have_v not_o experience_n will_v hardly_o be_v persuade_v how_o much_o
