vs see what counsell God giueth vnto such men as are snared with suertiship which followeth in the 3. verse in these wordes Do this now my son deliuer thy selfe seeing thou art come into the hand of thy neighbour go and humble thy selfe sollicite thy friends c. In this third verse wee see the fatherlie loue of God and of Salomon to the sonne He first checketh him with the wordes of his owne mouth Thou seest hovv thou art taken vvith thine ovvne vvords and snared in thine ovvne follie thou must take it to thy selfe Then hauing thus checked him for his fault he doth not here leaue him to himselfe but giueth him a remedie By this practise of the holie Ghost in Salomon are manie reprehended which will say when men are in trouble thou through thine owne follie hast brought thy selfe into trouble get out as thou canst for all me They will lay out the follie of their brethren and set their sinnes before thē but they wil not helpe to binde vp their woundes like the good Samaritane They can point and laugh at the nakednesse of their bretheron as Ham that cursed child of Noah did at his fathers nakednes but they wil not take any paines to couer their nakednesse as blessed Sem and Iapheth did But on the cōtrarie the godly wil help vp their brethrē which are fallē through occasion that with the spirit of meeknesse considering themselues as the Apostle saith lest they also be tempted And here is a holy difference betweene charitable vpbraiding and vncharitable condēning For Sathā can tel mē of their follie when they are down he can lay loads vpon them yea it is his ioy to see the chidren of God vnder feet surely it is a deuillish imitation when men see their brethrē down they wil check them but they will not put their little finger to helpe them vp againe And this I say is a verie deuillish imitation indeede It is farre otherwise with the children of God they imitate their mercifull God and Father in heauen for God indeede will not spare his people but hee will also tell them how to rise againe as in Esay the 1. When the Lord had told the Iewes of their hipocrisie and with what bloudie handes and hartes they kept his sabboths his new Moones and other daies appinted all which his soule did abhorre because of their wickednes yet in the end he saith Wash you and be cleane and then let vs reason together then though your sinnes were as red as scarlet yet I will make them as white as snow So the children of God will tell their brethrēof their sinnes and raise thē vp againe to their power and comfort thē with the bloud of Iesus Christ For if there be charitie in vs we wil not choke them with their sinnes but admonish them of their sinnes And in any case wee must take heede that we do not so presse them downe as that there be no roume for our handes to go vnder to lift them vp againe And we must not rebuke them slenderlie neither but lay out thy brothers sinnes to the most that when hee shall see them vncased and vnfolded hee may see the hiddē mischiefs that were wrapped vp in them before and so take better heede of them another time but still take pitie of him Now men wil charge the preacher with railing malice I know not what if he be earnest in rebuking mens sinnes and in telling thee what the Lord saith as to ring the larum bel when he seeth the enemie comming vpō thee but how can this be Is Paul become your enemie because he telleth you the truth what doth the Preacher reproue thy faultes he doth so but doth hee not also giue thee a remedie for thy sinne as he rebuketh thy sinne why dost thou say then hee hath a delight to checke and and taunt and to be girding at thee when thy conscience is bitten a little And this also sheweth how man ought to deale with man thou oughtest to make a profite of thy verie enemies as men make phisicke of poisons For thine enemies will tell thee of that which thy worldly frendes will not tell thee for feare they should displease thee and although he speake in enuie and malice vnto thee which is his fault yet see whether it be so and then know that God hath opened his eies for thy welfare as he opened the mouth of Balams Asse for the good of his master Now to the counsell it selfe wherin we haue to obserue two thinges First what be the particular points therof Secondly what be the reasons for the same As touching the particular points of the counsell which God giueth vnto Suerties they are three 1. Go humble thy selfe 2. Sollicite thy frends 3. Giue no sleepe to thine eies nor slumber to thine eie lids First he faith Go humble thy felfer his meaning is that hee must go to his creditor in good words submit himselfe to his curtesie crauing some respite to pay the debt or the thing that was promised This is hard counsel if wee consider to whom it is giuen namely to ambitious minded mā that stands vpon his credit such a one as wil not heare cōmonly of any such matter for stomach but indeed saith God by Salomon this is the way to go and humble thy selfe and to beat downe that ambitious humor yea if thou goest in silks and veluets or if thou wearest gold and siluer this is the counsell that God giueth thee Go and humble thy selfe But the world can shift it many waies better then this shal I go and humble my selfe saith one not I I cā cōuey away my goods vnder a col lution a false title then let him do what he cā this is a cunning shift whē search is made ther is nothing to be foūd but a blocks end a pillow stuft with goats haire Shal I go hūble my self saith another not I I wil go to prison and lie ther while I liue rather thē I wil pay the debt I wil hold him tack with his owne So there they wil lie spēd their creditors money And surely this is a spiteful shift and a common shift of all banckrupts wil they go humble thēselues and seek for fauor no then wil they build go brauely in their extreame pouertie And when they owe a thousand pound more then they are worth they will defie their creditors to their face set all at sixe and seuen thinking that they can but goe to prison These men seeke to ouerthrow all lawes they will do what they list they will spende other mens money at dice and cardes they cā delude the lawes and mock magistrates in despight of their teeth Therefore these men would be hamperd by the godly magistrate for the prison ought not to be a place of pleasure for bankerupts and cosoners to
