clemencie favour you wil accept of it as a mite of a willing minde and vnfained good will And in that I haue therein alleadged other authors beside the holyscriptures I did it of care to haue every truth confirmed in the mouth of approved witnesses I neede not heere speake of your Lordships good desertes I know that a vertuous man loueth not to heare his owne praise for it is better to be a good man indeede then in mens opinion to bee so accompted Wherefore as GOD hath exalted you to honour and dignitie and as a learned young man hath lately written to you hath made you a keeper of many vines and as we see hath wrought in you a notable care vnder her Maiestie to provide for the well-fare of his Church so I beseech him that is Lord of Lordes long to preserue your honour in al safety and to increase in you his giftes of grace to the setting forth of his glory to the continual good of his church finally to your owne eternal comfort through the merits of his sonne Christ Iesus And wheras the world is in danger of eternal perdition as great part through irreligiousnes and atheisme without either knowledge or true feare of God and a great part through affected ignorance and obstinate frowardnesse in Popish customes wee are to pray dayly that it may please God to wake men out of the sleepe of sinne and voluptuous living and by the power of his holy word still to weaken the kingdome of sinne and of Antichrist and to call those that are to bee called to the knowledge of his trueth while it is yet called To day Your Honours most bounden Oratour HVGH ROBERTS THE CONTENTS OR BRIEFE summe of the Lecture vpon the latter part of the third Chapter of the Epistle to the Hebrewes set downe in order as followeth 1 The first Lecture vpon the 7. 8. 9. 10. and 11. verses of the authoritie of the word of God of the speciall causes why this scripture being part of one of the Psalmes of David is alleadge● by the Apostl● writing to the Hebrewes 2 The second Lecture vpon the 12. and 13. verses of the fru●t of an evill heart of mutuall ex●●●tation and of the dectit fullnesse of sinne 3 The third Lecture vpon the 14. verse of faith and of the assurance of salvation and ever lasting felicitie to the true beleevers 4 The fourth Lecture vpon the 15. verses of the necessitie of hearing the word of God how the bardening of the heart is to be vnderstood and of the errour of praying in the church specially in the time of publique 〈◊〉 or of c●mmon pr●●ers 5 The fifth Lecture vpon the 16. and 17 verses of the wickednesse of m●ns nature all ●en are naturally bent to idolatrie we must imitate the faithfull though they be but few in number or in one age whom God raiseth vp in all ages to confesse his name of Gods long sufferance bountifulnes towards inners of sinne and the fruit thereof 6 The sixth and last Lecture vpon the 18. and 19. versest of the punishment of the● that obey ●●t the Gospell though for a time they be borne with and liue in a flo●rishing states what the tokens of Gods iudg●ents which befal in the world and wherewith some men are visited should profit vs the word of God is the iudge of men which word is to be obeyed while the day of grace lasteth THE FIRST LECTVRE VPON the wordes of the Prophet David alleadged by the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews cha 3. ve 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. of the authority of the word of God and of the speciall causes why this scripture of the Prophet is here alleadged with the application thereof 7 Wherfore as the holy Ghost saith to day if yee will heare his voice 8 Harden not your hearts as in the provocation according to the day of temptation in the wilder●esse 9 Where your fathers tempted mee proved mee and saw my workes for ●i● yeares long 10 When fore I was grieved with that generation and said they erre ever in their heart neithe● haue they knowne my waie● 11 Wherefore I sware in my wrat if they shall enter into my rest IN the begining of this chapter men and brethren beloved in Christ the Apostle that was the author of this epistle exhorteth the Hebrewes or Iewes to whom he writeth to consider Christ Iesus the Apostle high Priest as he faith of our profession of Chrstianisme he compareth him with that great and renowned Prophet of God Moses because the lewes did magnisie the remebrance of Moses by whom God had planted and established both the religion civill government of the people of Israel and therfore it is writen of him there arose not a Prophet since in Israel like vnto Moses who the Lord knewe Deut. 34 10 face to face And for this cause in the ninth of Iohn the Iewes stand so precisely vpon the authoritie of Moses and say we be Moses diseiples To 9. 28. 29. we know that God spake with Moses Now to proue that Christ far excelleth Moses in honour and authoritie the Apostle vseth two notable and familiar arguments The one he draweth from a comparison betweene the builder the house which he h●th builded Ch●ist is the builder of his spirituall house which is the church Moses was but one part of the building therefore Christ is aboue Moses The other from a comparison betweene the heire or the naturall sonne and the servant of his house Christ is the sonne Moses was but a servant therefore Christ is more honourable then Moses Here vpon the Apostle inferreth th●t all the faithfull which professe Christian religion are the house of Christ if they persevere and continue in his grace vnto the end But because without faith it is vnpossible Heb. 11. 6. Row 10. 17 to ple●se God and without the hearing of the word of God faith is not attained and without a good heart there cometh no prosite Heb. 42. by hearing Therefore that they which heare the word of God may be effectually ioined to this building of the house of God and that they may be so prepared to heare this word that it may be so prepared to heare this word that it may not be vnto them a favour of death vnto death but of life vnto life the Apostle ●●leadgeth this scripture out of the Psalmes of David the authoritie whereof Psal 95. he attributeth to the holy Ghost who spake by the Prophets And here we learne that the holy scriptures which we heare or read thought they be named after that Prophet that Apostle or that Evangelist by whom they were ministred or written are not with standing the liuely oracles of God and the very words of the holy Ghost who inspired the Prophets ●nd holy Ghost who inspired the Prophets and holy men and moved thē to speake as they were taught and directed from aboue according as
