our selues in the wayes of wickednesse and the light of righteousnesse hath not shined vpon our soules No maruell therefore if the bands of wickednesse bee called heauy and importable burthens Sinne is onus Deo a burthen to God Esay 1. 14. Your sacrifices are a burthen vnto me Sinne is onus Angelis a burthen to the Angels for it sunke them downe from heauen Luke 10. 18. Sinne is onus creaturis a burthen to the creatures for it makes them grone Rom. 8. 22. Sinne is onus hominibus a burthen to men Mine iniquities are gone euer my head and as a weighty burthen too heauy for me to beare Psal 38. 4. Let vs then beware of sinne that made this Iayler roare and cry O what must I doe to be saued For though sinne fawne vpon thee now yet it will in the end pluck out the very throat of thy soule Let vs then flye from sinne as from a stinging serpent and biting Cockatrice for they that doe such things shall neuer see the saluation of God To bee saued THirdly let vs behold the substance and subiect of his fute It is not with Iames to sit by Christ in his glory It is not to haue an inheritance diuided with that worldling in the Gospell It is not for any worldly pompe or honor but it is for saluation What must I doe to be saued The most principall thing that all men should striue for vnder Gods glory is the saluation of their soules First and aboue all things seeke the Kingdome of God and the righteousnesse thereof and in a subordinate manner the things of this life for what if wee haue all the world and bee damned when wee dye what a miserable condition is this O how Moses beg'd to see the face of the Lord Lord saith he shew me thy glory O how Dauid sued to God for his loue Some craue worldly goods and riches doe imbrace but Lord grant me thy countenance thy fauour and thy grace O how this Iayler cries out heere for saluation O what must I doe to be saued This meets with carelesse and desperate people of the world that worke not out this their saluation with feare and trembling that make not sure their election and calling O better for these neuer to haue beene borne than not to be reborne O how carefull were the Apostles when Christ told them that one of them should betray him they could neither eate nor drinke till they knew themselues freed from that cursed fact Numquid ego Domine Is it l Lord is it l O wee should resolue with Dauid not to suffer our eyes to sleepe nor eye-lids to slumber nor the temples of our head to take any rest till wee haue found the boxe of Election opened vnto vs and the sweete odour of Gods loue shed abroad in our hearts To bee saued IN that this Iayler by the Iudgements of God is drawne neerer to God wee may see the different working of Gods iudgements vpon the Elect and Reprobate the one hardened by them the other humbled the one desperate the other seeking to God for remission and saluation Euen as the Sunne in the Heauens melieth wax but hardeneth clay as the same water saued Israel but drowned Pharao and as the same trumpe in battell incourageth the one side but discourageth the other So the same word and iudgements of God draw neerer to the Lord the elect but harden the hearts of the wicked Cain hardened Manasses humbled Iudas desperate but Paul by Gods iudgements conuerted It makes against such as with Pharac harden their hearts against God by his iudgements vtterly despairing of his mercy for remission Maior est Deipictas quam quaeuis iniquitas Gods mercy is greater then mans misery God is more merciful then man can be sinful if man wil be truly and heartily sorrowfull All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth God hath two feet whereby hee walkes in his wayes the foot of mercy and the foote of iustice If we looke vpon his mercy only ten to one we shall perish by presumption if wee looke vpon his iustice onely ten to one wee shall perish by desperation therefore let vs humbly fall downe and kisse both of his feete that in respect of his mercy wee may keepe hope and in respect of his iustice wee may keepe awe reuerence and feare If therefore the Diuell tempts thee to presumption look what thou art in thy selfe vile wretched miserable and thou shalt neuer presume if hee tempts thee to desparation looke what thou art or maist be in Christ Iesus spotlesse holy glorious then thou shalt neuer despaire Thus the Church of Christ did I am blacke O yee daughters of Ierusalem yet comely as the curteines of Salomon How could shee bee black and beautifull black in her selfe and beautifull in Christ Iesus Thus plainly haue I vnfolded the first part of my text the Iaylers misery the second part is ministred mercy by Paul and Sylas and as plainly by Gods assistance I purpose to passe thorow that for I had rather pleasure your hearts then please your heads worthy is your science but I feare me farre short comes your conscience giue me leaue then to bestow my labour where there is most need and I pray God as meane an instrument as I am I may be a meane to further you all in the way of Gods Kingdome And they said Beleeue in the Lord Iesus Christ thou shalt be saued and thy house BEfore I come to the particulars of their answere I must needs commend the wisdome and discretion of these Preachers they minister a fit salue to this poore mans sore they put oyle to vineger mercy to iudgement Gospell to Law an excellent temper for health euerlasting Had they preached the Law and denounced Gods curses against him they had sunke him downe to hell by despaire but perceiuing him ready to bee swallowed vp of damnation by the casting-net of the Gospell they saue his soule from sinking A good president for all Gods ministers that they bee carefull wisely discreetly and rightly to breake the Bread of life to the people Wee must preach the Gospell to languishing soules and the Law to presumptuous otherwise wee shall sooner damne then saue by our preaching To this poore Iayler in the very iawes of Hell and mouth of damnation Paul and Sylas tender Christ Iesus for his recouery and saluation And thy house I Must here resolue a doubt before I come to this heauenly resolution Some may obiect and say What shall the Iaylers faith redeeme his family if the master beleeueth shall the houshold be saued It may seeme so by the words of the text Beleene thou and thy house shall be saued To answer this heere is something implyed that is not expressed Beleeue on the Lord Iesus Christ thou shalt bee saued and thy houshold that is they beleeuing with thee As if
