friend which is as thine owne soule entice thee secretly saying Let vs goe and serue other Gods which thou hast not knowen thou J say nor thy fathers anie of the gods of the people which are round about you nere vnto thee or far from thee from the one ende of the earth vnto the other thou shalt not consent vnto him nor heare him neither shall thy eye pitie him nor shewe mercie nor keepe him secret but shalt euen kill him thy hand shall be first vppon him to put him to death and then the hand of all the people The sinne not onely of idolatrie is manifest but also the sinne of blasphemie Manifest blasphemie in England What bargaine almost is made without swearing what oath is ministred in the iudgement seat without forswearing what sports without blasphemie what countrie what citie what towne what house or what tongue is not infected with this sinne of swearing the olde man sweareth by custome the yong man childe by imitation the gentleman sweareth of lustines the poore sweareth for necessity the thief sweareth to couer his fault the harlot to denie her crime and albeit not man but the Lord our God commaundeth vs saying Exod. 20. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vaine for the Lord will not holde him guiltlesse that taketh his name in vaine yet all the desperate people of this declining age are so giuen to swearing as though no man could be saued happily vnlesse he did sweare continually Can a bitter fountaine send out sweete water no more can a blasphemous mouth speake to the praise of God The first argument against swearing drawen from the person of God Psal 139.3 There be fiue things in God which euerie blasphemer should consider of the first is that he is present in all places and therefore Dauid saith Thou compassest my pathes and my lying downe and art accustomed to all my wayes Secondly he knoweth all things for there is not a word saith Dauid in my mouth Psal 89.4 but thou knowest it all O Lord. Thirdly there is truth in the Lord Psal 5.6 God loueth no wickednes neither shall anie euill dwell with him the foolish shal not stand in his sight for he hateth them that worke iniquitie he will destroy them that speake lies Fourthly God is righteous and therfore the Psalmist saith Psal 119.137 Righteous art thou O Lord and righteous are thy iudgements thou hast commanded iustice by thy testimonies and truth especially God is righteous first because he iudgeth in equitie With righteousnes shall he iudge the world and the people with equitie secondly because he iudgeth without respect of persons Rom. 2.9 c. Tribulation and anguish shall be vppon the soule of euerie man that doth euill of the Iew first and also of the Grecian but to euerie man that doth good shall be honor and glorie and peace to the Jew first and also to the Grecian for there is no respect of persons with God Thirdly God is iust because he leaueth no sinne vnpunished Binde not two sinnes together Syr. 12.14 for there shall not one be vnpunished For as no vertue is of God vnrewarded so there shall be no sin vnpunished Fourthly and lastly in God is all power Our God is in heauen Psal 118.3 he doth whatsoeuer pleaseth him From heauen he cast down the Angels from Paradice Adam hee made the earth to swallow vp Corah the flouds to couer Pharaoh and his hoast the sonnes of Aaron to be slaine in the temple Jezabel to be cast out of her chamber window Holofernes to be murdred in his bed and Ely to breake his necke sitting on the thresholde Wherefore excellent is that saying of Bernard Bernard in Psal 139. God is in himselfe as Alpha and Omega the first and the last in the world as the author and gouernor of it in the angels as the fauor and beautie of them in the church as a father of a family in his house in the soule as a bridegroome in his chamber in the iust as a helper and protector in the reprobate as a dread and horror Whither shall I goe from thy spirit no man goeth from him but to him from his seueritie to his goodnes from an angrie God to an appeased For what place can receiue him that flieth but there thou maist finde his presence God is present therefore the blasphemer should feare him God knoweth all things therefore the blasphemer should praise him in God is truth therefore the blasphemer should hate lies in God is iustice therefore he rewardeth the good and punisheth the euill in God is power therefore he can doo what pleaseth him fire haile stormes and tempests fulfill his commaundements yea there are spirites created for vengeance and in their suriousnesse they hasten their torments they wil not ouerpasse the commandement of the Lord. The Prophet Ieremy saith Ier. 4.2 The 2. argument against swearing drawen from the manner and maâ—â—er thereof thou shalt sweare the Lord liueth in truth iudgement righteousnes in truth in respect of the thing in iudgement in respect of the swearer in iustice in respect of the cause truth excludeth a false oath iudgement a rash oath iustice an vnlawfull oath but our blasphemers sweare not in truth but in falshood not in iudgement but rashly not in iustice that is first for the glorie of God secondly for the safetie of their neighbour thirdly for their own necessitie and fourthly when they are required of the Magistrate for iust causes but in common speach vnlawfully in buying and selling deceiptfully and in sporting and playing most damnably Further Eph. 4.25 Psal 32.5 Esa 50.4 1. Thes 5.14 Psal 51.14 The 5. argument against swearing drawen from the vse of the tongue the tongue being giuen of God to speake the truth to confesse our sinnes to teach to comfort the afflicted lastly to praise the Lord the blasphemer setteth forth leasing increaseth his sinnes is an ensample of corrupt manners bringeth no coÌ„fort but the plague of God to his house and dishonoureth the Lord whom hee should praise with soule heart heart tongue flesh and with all hys powers members for euer A thiefe stealeth but for necessitie but a blasphemer sweareth in a brauerie the harlots do sinne but in darknes the blasphemer offendeth openly the couetous man offendeth but seldome the blasphemer often at euerie word the slaunderer offendeth but against his brother but the blasphemer dishonoreth God his father There are but 3. sorts of languages in the world The 4. argument against swearing drawen from the customâ— of speech Psal 84.4 the best is the heauenly language whereof Dauid thus writeth Blessed are they that dwel in thy house O Lord they shall alwaies be praising magnifying thy name There is another language that is earthly whereof Saint John writeth Iohn 3.31 He that is of the earth is of the earth and speaketh of

Augustine it a treatise of the contrition of the heart For as much then as the sinfull generation of this realme of England will neuer repent but stop their eares when God calleth them fleeth from the Lord when he seeketh them and shutteth vp their hearts when he knocketh to come into them there must be either a generall tepentance as there was in Niniuie or else there will he a generall destruction as ther was in Sodom which was in this maner In Gen. 19.24.25 Gen. 19.24.25 Then the Lord rained vpon Sodom vpon Gomorrha brimston and fire from the Lord out of heauen and ouerthrewe those cities and all the plaine and all the inhabitantes of the cities and that that grew vpon the earth Of this dreadfull desolation you shall reade in Deutronomium 26.23 Esay 13.14 Iere. 50.40 Eze. 18.49 Hos 11.8 Amos 4.11 Luke 17.29 and Iude 7. First he is noted who destroyed Sodome the Lord secondly how he did raine vpon Sodom and Gomorrha brimstone and fire thirdly from whence from the Lord from heauen The Lord which made Sodome Gomorrha a pleasant and frutfull vale for the sinnes of the people brought it vnto vtter desolation He did raine the end of raine is the fertilitie of the earth the Sodomites turned the fertilitye of the earth into pride Ezek. 16. fulnesse of bread idlenesse and vnmercifulnes to the poore and therefore when this wickednesse was to be punished it was reuenged not with famin pestileÌ„ce or sword but as the wicked had peruerted themselues so the Lord peruerted the raine not to the nourishment of the earth but to the sterilitie of it and gaue them for dew brimstone and for water fire Strabo in his booke seemeth to giue some naturall causes of this destruction But Moses sheweth it came from the Lord who is able and willing to punishe strange sinnes with strange plagues Further we are here to learne in that it did raine that abundance of fire fell from heauen so great is the treasure in heauen of those thinges whereby vengeance is to be taken on the reprobate on the earth Deut. 32.34.35 Deut. 32.34.35 Js not this laid in store with me and sealed vp among my treasures vengeance and recompence are mine Moreouer where he saith he ouerthrewe the cities and all the plaine and all the greene things of the earth we are to remember there are two sorts of destructions the one 2. Sortes of destruction whereby cities are so ouerthrowne that after peace made they may bee reedified againe These kindes of subuersions haue but a temporall scourge to chastise the wicked The other whereby in a perpetuall destruction both the inhabitants and cities and fieldes are vnrecouerably destroyed So was Sodome and Gomorrha destroyed with all their inhabitants and in all the plaine with trees herbes and plants the monuments of this destruction remaine to be seene at this day the shadowes of cities the rockes exust the earth full of ashes heapes of salt a filthie smell a dreadfull sight and a filthie lake Here let euery good man thinke A note for England that if the Sodomites prouoked so great wrath against them which were guided but only by the law of nature how much more detestablye doe they offend which haue receiued the light of the Gospel yet commit the sins of Sodome Matth. 10.14.15 Mat. 10.14.15 And whosoeuer shall not receiue you nor beare your words when you departe out of that house or that citie shake off the dust of your feete Truely I say vnto you it shall be easier for them of the land of Sodome and Gomorrha in the day of iudgement then for that citie 5 God doth not only say that the contemners of the Gospell shall be grieuously punished but he saith it shall be more easie for the Sodomites and more grieuous to the contemners of his word Right instructions to be learned out of the subuersion of Sodome and Gomorrha In this subuersion are these thinges to be committed to memorie First it is an easie thing with God to punish the wicked and euen as easie as to send downe raine from aboue Secondly many waies hath God to subuert the wicked the olde worlde he drowned with water the AEgiptians had diuers plagues their waters were turned into bloud the frogs crept into the kings chamber they were punished with gnats flies pestilence biles haile locusts darknesse and the sudden death of the first borne of AEgipt The murmurers in the booke of Numbers some were swallowed vp into the earth some were consumed with fire from heauen and the tempters were all destroyed in the wildernes with fierie serpents The third thing memorable is this that the iudgement of God commeth suddenly for when they were eating drinking building and planting suddenly came fire from heauen and consumed them 1. Thes 5.3 So Paul saith it shall be in these later daies For when they shall say peace and safetie then shall come vpon them sudden destruction as trauell vpon a woman with child and they shall not escape Fourthly the wicked shal not escape when the iudgement of God commeth on them Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift Amos 2.14 and the strong shall not strengthen his force neither shall the mightie saue his soule Amos. 9. â— And hee that flieth of them shall not flie away and hee that escapeth of them shall not be deliuered Fiftly sinnes do shorten our liues for the most part of the Sodomites were no doubt in their youth when the fire fell on them Psal 55.23 And thou O God shalt bring them downe into the pitte of corruption the bloudie and deceitfull men shall not liue halfe their dayes Sixtly sinnes being continued do alwaies bring newe plagues The olde worlde was drowned with water but Sodome was destroyed with fire therfore it ought not to be incredible that all the worlde shall be burned with fire The heauen of heauens is the Lords but the earth hee hath giuen to the sonnes of men so he gaue a fruitful plaine to the Sodomites but when they abused it hee rayned downe fire brimstone as plentifull as raine So because in these last times wee abuse the creatures in riot and excesse God no doubt will according to his word coÌ„sume the whole world with fire Seuenthly they that liue wickedly shal dye miserable The Sodomits liued in pride therfore they came to shame they were vnmercifull to the poore therfore they had iudgement without mercie Lastly God will reuenge all iniuries done especially those that are committed against his ministers Zach. 2.8 For hee saith Hee that toucheth you toucheth the apple of mine eye And Psal 105.15 Psal 105.15 Touch not mine annointed and do my Prophets no harme C ham for mocking the minister of God Noah was cursed in himselfe in his children in earth in heauen of God and of men so the viperous brood of Cham which scorne the reuerend fathers of the Church shal be accursed for euer The vnclean Sodomites were burned to ashes and condemned because they vexed the righteous soule of Lot so our murmurers shal taste of the like fearful iudgemeÌ„t and also the whole land for soothing them in their Ismaeleticall scorning if speedilye and heartily they do not repent which God giue them and vs also grace to doe that we being deliuered from the dreadfull wrath of God which hangeth ouer our heads for our many manifest and exceeding great sins may from one generation to another liue to praise the Lord all the daies of our life Num. 6 2â— 25. The Lord blesse and keepe this Realme The Lord make his face to shine vpon vs and be mercifull vnto vs the Lord lift vp his countenance vpon vs and giue vs his peace for his sonnes sake Christ Iesu To whom with the holy spirit be all honor and glory for euer and euer Amen FINIS
