when his master intendeth to looke into his doings at his first appearing he must looke to bee intertained with words of heauie reproofe Consider the case of the rude guest that came vnto the wedding without a wedding garment which shadoweth vnto vs the case of all those that deale not vprightly and faithfully with God The King espied him among the guests and said vnto him Matth. 22.12 Friend how camest thou in hither and hast not on a wedding garment As if hee should say thou rude and contemptuous man how wast thou bold without al reuerence to come thus into my house and to dishonour me with this thy sordid filthines Thus will God checke the vnfaithfull as hee doth here his steward saying How is it that I heare this of thee And the waight of this checke who is able to esteeme much lesse to beare At thy rebuke O God of Iacob saith the Prophet Psal. 76.6 both the chariot and the horse are cast asleepe thou euen thou art to be feared and who shall stand in thy sight when thou art angrie Yea the rebuke of God casteth downe to hell And therefore the Archangel that stroue with the diuell about the bodie of Moses said vnto him The Lord rebuke thee as knowing that would be sufficient Oh consider this you that still are wasting that in time you may amend things and bee receiued of him with words of comfort and not with rebukes at your appearing Thus much of the rebuke giuen the vniust steward in these words How is it that I heare this of thee Giue an account of thy stewardship for thou maist be no longer steward Accusation went before the rebuke examination and condemnation follow after it Examination in these words Giue an account of thy stewardship Condemnation in the next For thou maist be no longer steward Which are the two further degrees of his danger in this verse But let vs consider them apart Giue an account of thy stewardship Rebuking him in his anger whom he meant to depriue of his office he first requireth an account of him and wil not put him out till he haue said and shewed what he can for his innocencie Let vs I pray you learne the like moderation to doe nothing vpon any accusation till the partie accused hath giuen account of his doings and said and shewed what he can for his defence If Potiphar had vsed this moderation he had not wronged Ioseph as he did And if Dauid had vsed this moderation he had not wronged good Mephiboseth so much Nichodemus saith Ioh. 7.51 Doth our law iudge a man before it heare him and know what he hath done Surely the law of God and euery law agreeable to the law of God giueth leaue to the accused partie to bring in his account and make his defence Giue an account of thy stewardship Men call their seruants to account and so doth God his Mat. 18.23 Therefore is the kingdome of heauen likened vnto a certaine king which would take account of his seruants In which parable and diuers others Christ sheweth vs that surely God will call vs to a reckoning for his gifts and talents committed to vs. For whē God sendeth a man into the world adorned with his gifts or bestoweth his gifts when hee hath sent him he doth it to this end that for those gifts he shuld giue account when he departeth out of the world Therfore is God in his kingdome compared vnto a Noble man that went into a farre countrey to receiue a kingdome and to come againe and at his departing called his seruants and deliuered vnto them his goods with charge to occupie vntill his returne that then he might reckon with them That departing into a far countrey with distribution of his goods among his seruants is nothing else but the sending of vs into the world with his gifts where we as strangers are farre remoued frō him As the Apostle saith 2. Cor. 5.6 Whiles we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. And his returne to take account of his seruants is nothing els but our appearing before him in death after which followeth iudgement vpon the account giuen and receiued God therefore will call vs to a reckoning and all men must deliuer in their account Heare this all of you hearken to it euery one let no man deceiue himselfe We must all giue account the Apostle saith 2. Cor. 5.10 We must all appeare before the iudgement seate of Christ that euery man may receiue the things which are done in his bodie according to that he hath done whether it be good or euill All must appeare account must bee giuen and iudgement must follow accordingly And no age no sex no condition of life shall be exempted Euery age sex and condition hath his proper priuileges but all and euery one is bound to this to giue account vnto God No age is exempted Infants and children must account The infants of Amalech and the rude children of Bethel were examined iudged slaine for their wickednes Young men and maidens must For to that age Salomon saith Ecclesiastes 11.9 Reioyce O young man in thy youth and let thine hart cheere thee in the daies of thy youth and walke in the waies of thine heart and in the sight of thine eyes but know that for al these things God wil bring thee to iudgement Old men and aged persons must All are put together in that speech of Ieremy saying I am full of the wrath of the Lord I am wearie with holding it I will powre it out vpon the children in the street and likewise vpon the assemblie of the yong men for the husband shall be euen taken with the wife and the aged with him that is full of daies And Helies age could not excuse him but he accounted for his negligence Neither hath the sex more priuilege then the yeeres for the woman with the man must giue account because the woman with the man is betrusted with the gifts of God And vnto the woman as well as vnto the man hath God giuen rules how they should behaue themselues in his seruice When Paul commandeth Titus in his sermons to the people to speake the things that become holesome doctrine he willeth him to exhort old women Tit. 2.3 that they be in such behauiour as becommeth holines not false accusers not giuen to much wine but teachers of honest things that they may instruct the yong women to be sober minded that they loue their husbands that they loue their children that they be discreete chast keeping at home good and subiect vnto their husbands that the word of God be not euill spoken of Thus doth God set downe rules and orders in his house vnto women And in examining iudging and punishing such as be found faultie he passeth not by thē for the women of Moab that intised the sonnes of Israel to fornication and idolatrie were destroyed euery one of them the sex therfore in this
