Veile is rashnesse which is seene when you punish by striking and giuing sentence before you heare the defendant The Prouerbe is One cause is good till the other be heard therefore as God hath giuen you two eares you must heare both sides I meane as well the defendant as the plaintiffe the witnesse as the Iury. He that takes vp Iron but afterwards findes Gold flings by the worse and takes vp the better Euen so though you finde one cause good but the other better cleaue to the best yet giue sentence vpon none till their case be more clearer for Iudgement rashly pronounced many times causeth the innocent to bee punished the offender cleared if you therefore breake forth suddenly into any such passion oh speedily recall that wicked affection and suffer it not to rest within your breast 6. Veile is Idlenesse and casting the charge vpon other The sixt and last veile or couering of the eie is Idlenesse which we commonly call sloth and lazinesse Many Magistrates it may be would willingly reforme the abuses of the Citie but are loth to take the paines for thus many a drowsie Magistrate confers with himselfe To walke abroad in the night will breake my sleepe disturbe my rest indanger my body going about the Citie will weary my limbs trouble my braines and moue my patience in beholding the wickednesse of the people therefore that my body may haue his ease and rest I am willing to suffer the people to walke in their owne waies during my time A yeare is not euer for soone will that time be accomplished and as for the people they cannot grow much worse in so short a time therefore hee that comes after shall take the paines for me And thus through sloth we poste our labour off from day to day casting the burthen vpon other mens backes so that ease and rest may bee had let the Citie flow with iniquitie till it sinke with Abiram and burne with Sodome Others there are who thinke their places fully discharged in authorising any seruant to see a reformation But I tell you nay for their labour cannot discharge your dutie nor other mens paines your place Know you not that seruants are idle and as faine would haue ease and rest as you but suppose they be not yet soone eie blasted for a vision of Angels will make them play bo-peepe see and not see heare and not heare Matth. 26. Will not Iudas sell his Master for profit much more your Honours for gaine Will not Gehesi take a bribe behinde his Masters backe yet shamelesly say 2 King 5. Thy seruant hath beene no where Trust not therefore too much to their paines but to your owne for that which is done by your owne labour is euer best and will afford your soules in trouble the greatest rest Thus briefly you see the veiles that may hinder from beholding the enormities of this Citie search therefore your selues whether these or any of these bee as a couering to your eies which if you finde cast them away suddenly not onely from the face but from the heart For if you solace your selues in these things then sinne will be the sicknesse of our Citie and your portion after this life euerlasting misery The third roome in this Tabernacle or Branch of this body The third roome of the second Tabernacle The Citie Hierusalem the Cesterne into which God powred his blessings yet not answerable to his mercies doth liuely paint out to vs what Citie it was our Sauiour thus beheld The Text saith it was 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the Citie Should I therefore passe by this particle the I should suffer Hierusalem to lose her honour though now her honour and happinesse be laid in the dust For that Citie which is Christs Obiect at this time was Hierusalem a Citie once that shined as the starres in heauen a Citie that ouer-awed all the Cities in the world and was the rod of Gods anger to smite the Nations withall It was that Citie which God had chosen aboue all the Cities in the earth to dwell in It was that Citie where the Throne of Dauid stood Psal 132.13 14 It was that Citie where Gods worship was put for there was the Temple the Altars the Sacrifices the Priests the Arke of the Couenant the Sanctum Sanctorum yea what not for all things that appertained to the worship and seruice of God was onely found in her and none else It was that Citie that was called holy counted glorious by all them that liued when she was in her glory those that then saw her could not chuse but acknowledge as much if euer they numbred her Towers considered her walls and marked her bulwarks Should I make report at large of it you would hardly beleeue me but I am sure when the Kings of the earth were gathered together and saw it Psal 48.4 5. they maruelled were astonished and suddenly driuen backe Besides all this it was a Citie of the greatest Antiquitie one of them in all the world at first it was called Salem Gen. 14.18 where Melchisedeck King thereof brought forth Bread and Wine to refresh Abraham and his Seruants after he returned from the slaughter of his enemies Afterwards it was possessed by the Iebusites Iudg. 19.10 and by them named Iebus Now Peter Martyr from both these names Iebus and Salem supposeth that by the change of a few letters Peter Mar. in Com. vpon the 2 Sam. 5.6 Hierusalem receiued her name But whither doe I run I come not to preach names but doctrines to you therefore in that it is said he beheld the Citie namely Hierusalem aboue all the Cities in the world this collection doth arise That where much is bestowed much is expected Doctr.
