Ep. 2.6 The church is called heavenly Ierusalem and in other places the kingdome of heaven so that whether God from heaven doth cōmand Noah to make enter the Arke or that an Angell bid Lot get him out of Sodom Whether Moyses importune the people to get them from the tents of Dathan and Abiram or the Prophets Isaie Ieremy teach this Scripture for the leauing of Babylon we must heare it as the voice of God comming from heaven As there is a woe against them that wil not preach and a curse against them that preach negligently so against them that wil not heare carefully whereby they might avoid iudgements and punishments There is a threefold voice of woes c. 8.13 Woe woe woe to the inhabitants of the earth Woe vnto the world because of Poperie whereby men are punished in their soules they will not goe to the law to the testimony therefore they can haue no light Woe vnto the world for Turcisme because thereby thousandes are murthered in their bodies not yeelding to the word whereby they might avoid the Lords wrath Wo vnto the world because of the last iudgement for thereby the natural worldlings shall be plagued both in body and soule in Hell fire for evermore because they harkned not to the sound of the Gospell The dangers of all these may be prevented by hearing this sacred voice Avoice from heaven Vse 1 Acomfort to all Churches which haue the voice of the word amongst them whereby they are forewarned wherein if any people were truely happy it is this our Iland which hath the voice of many criers preparing the way of the Lord of many Turtles mourning betwixt the porch and the altar for the sinnes saying Spare vs good Lord spare thy people Ioel. 2.17 Wee of this Kingdome 1 Sam. 21.6 haue many a faithfull Ahimelech amongst vs who rather then David should perish with hunger will giue vnto him the shew-bread of the Sanctuarie though they liue hungerly themselues Many a worthy Minister who rather then David should die with thirst will with the hazard of their liues giue vnto him of the water of Bethlehem 2. Sam. 23.16 I deny not but by reading a man may receaue much comfort and be excellently prepared to get sauing knowledge yet the voice of preaching is the excellentest ordinary means which God hath sanctified to the salvation of his children and to make them wise vnto salvation By this the minde of the ignorant is enlightned the memory of the forgetfull is strengthned the heart of the obstinate is mollified the affections of the vntoward are reduced the will of the perverse is restrained and the life of the vngodly so changed that at the voice of a simple and sinfull man he crieth out with the Iewes Men Brethren what shall we doe With David I am the man with Saul I haue sinned and with every private convert to say God is in these men indeed whē they preach the heavenly voice Were it not for preaching the word where were the vnderstanding of it consolation by it direction from it Without it how should hard places be made plaine plaine be applyed repugnances in it be reconciled or oppugners of it bee confuted Take away preaching and then downe with our schooles of learning our houses of prayer our obedience to Superiours our loue to equals and our right to heaven It is the power of God to salvation the pillar of God in our iourney to Canaan the Angell of God to bring vs out of Sodome the messenger of God to prepare his way the trumpet of God to cry downe Iericho and the caller to bring vs vnto the Church of Christ being illuminated by the spirit For it is not the outward ministery of the word only that is able to convert Let the Preacher be one of a thousand Iob. 33.23 for the excellencie of his gifts as prompt in the law of God as Ezra was as mightie in the Scriptures as Apollo's as eloquent to quicken enliue his speech as if he spake with the tongue of an Angel as painefull as Paule who laboured more then all the rest as blameles in conversation as Zachary Let the people heare never so gladly as Herod heard Iohn Never so earnestly as the Iewes heard the Prophet as one that had a pleasant voice and could sing well Esek 33.32 Let thē heare never so long as those that heard Paule vntill midnight Let the matter bee handled never so excellently as all the Synagogue wondred at the gratious words which proceeded out of Christs mouth Yet if the Lord giue not a blessing it is but the savour of death vnto death Paule may plant and Apollo water but God gaue the increase Therefore every one must pray vnto the Lord for an vnderstanding heart that as he would open the mouth of the Preacher so also by his power he would from heauen open the eares and hearts of the whole congregation that they may heare this heavenly voice Vse 2 A Reproofe of those who hearing the heavenly voice of the Church by the mouthes of the Ministers whereby their sinnes are plainely reproved and their consciences powerfully convicted for a while are as Agrippa almost perswaded to leaue their swearing lying drunkennesse c wil with teares confesse their sinnes and promise great reformation but presently al their good motions vanish like a morning dew they returne to their former courses as the dog to his
