A13993	The Christians looking glasse wherein hee may cleerely see, his loue to God liuely expressed, his fidelity truely discouered, and pride against God and man, anatomised. Whereby the hypocrisie of the times is notoriously manifested. By Thomas Tuke, minister of Gods word at Saint Giles in the Fields.	Tuke, Thomas, d. 1657.	1615 (1615)	STC 24304; ESTC S102478	58,392	160

the enmity of GOD Whosoeuer therefore will bee a friend of the world maketh himselfe an enemy of GOD. Loue not this world saith Saint Iohn neither the things that are in this world if any man loue this world the loue of the FATHER is not in him What is the world but a pleasant phrensie a Theater of vanity a si●ke of sinne a shop of deceit the center of inquities and a very mi●rour of misery Shee is like that skarlet Harlot louely to looke on but dangerous to deale with who makes the Kings and Inhabitants of the earth drunken with the wine which shee presents vnto them in her golden cup. Hee which followes the world is like a foole or child that followes a shadow or a butterfly a thing of no valew and which mockes them most that loue her best and follow her fastest But say why wilt thou loue the world because shee is constant Erre not nothing is more inconstant then the world constant in inconstancy and as inconstant in her constancy Shee is in nothing the same saue in this that shee loues not to bee the same But GOD is the same for euer Thou art the same and thy yeares shall not faile With thee there is no alteration nor shadow of conuersion GOD is not as man that hee should lie nor as the sonne of man that hee should repent Hath hee said it and shall hee not doe it and hath hee spoken and shall hee not accomplish it The world is fleeting and floating vp and downe in her loue whom shee fauours to day shee forsakes to morrow But whom GOD loueth once hee loueth euer Once and Euer are all one with him The world will shake off her deerest louers as an Oliue her leaues or as a Colt doth his rider But GOD neuer casts off him that loues him Et te nemo amittit nisi qui te dimittit and no man doth loose him but he that leaues him Then loue the LORD and let go the world Why should thy Soule which is of an heauenly beginning bee buryed and closed vp within the earth Why should it which is immortall bee pinned on things that are but mortall Why should it which is a Spirit and Inuisible be fixt on things that are grosse and visible Amor rerum terrenarum est viscus spiritualium pennarum The loue of the world is the lime-twigs of the soule Amicitia sol● est inimicitia poli Friendship with the earth is enmity with heauen But wee will descend vnto particulars What wilt thou loue Wealth and Riches Wilt thou cast thine eyes vpon that which is nothing For riches taketh her to her wings as an Eagle and flyeth into heauen Riches haue sold more then they haue redeemed and rich men haue few friends but many flatterers that follow them as Ants do Corne or as crows do carrion Praedā sequitur ista turba nō hominē Such follow the prey not the person loue the riches but care not for the man they would flea off his Hide to make themselues thongs with it An Ethnique could say when hee had lost all his goods Perijssem ni perijssent I had lost my selfe if I had not lost them But for GOD who is our greatest good whether wee loose our goods or not if wee loose him and will loose him if we loue riches more then him we loose our selues our comfort contentment Therefore if riches increase set not thine heart vpon them If thou aboundest not be contented for hee hath most that couereth least He is the richest that least admireth riches Hee is the greatest who is contented with the smallest portion What then shall haue thy loue shall Pleasures What are pleasures but pleasing vanities What are pleasures to the paines of hell which waite vpon them What sweetnesse is there in them to the sweetnesse which is in GOD If our soules were sweetned with the true taste of GODS loue all other things would seeme bitter to vs And that men feele not the sweetnesse of GOD it is because their mouthes are out of taste being corrupted with the ague of worldly loue Consider the example of Moses who chose rather To suffer aduersity with the people of GOD then to enioy the pleasures of sinne for a season esteeming the rebuke of CHRIST greater riches then the treasures of Aegypt Remember that ironicall speech of Salomon to voluptuous persons Reioyced yong man in thy youth and let thine heart cheere thee whilst thou art yong and walke in the waies of thine heart and in the sight of thine eyes but know that for all these things GOD will bring thee to iudgement Lysimachus to quench his thirst yeelded himselfe to the Scythians and when hee had drunke their cold water he said Quam breuis volupt●tis causâ quantam deposui foelieitatem O what great happinesse haue I forgone for a short pleasure Let vs beware that wee part not with our Birth-right for a little water-gruell and that wee loose not GOD and forgoe the ioyes of heauen for a small portion of vaine delights Malorum esca voluptas quâ homines cap●untur vt hamo pisces Pleasure is the baite of euils of diuels wherewith men are caught as fishes with an hooke Either therefore we must shune them vtterly or take heed of the hooke which lies hid within them But what wilt thou set thy loue on Honour How vncertaine is it and subiect to bee lost Haman was Honourable and hanged in one day Olofernes was Honourable and Headed in one night How great and common are the fals of many Hee that is in account to day may bee contemned to morrow In pratis vt flos sic perit omnis honos Honour vanisheth like a vapour and great men are like great bubbles and all the glory of the world like grasse like the flowre of the grasse Caesar was stabd in his height Nebuchadnezer was abased in the midst of his greatnesse Alexander was poysoned in the top of his honours Herod was strucke with an Angell then when hee was applauded as a GOD. How vaine a thing is honour which like smoake mounted aloft doth vanish whiles a man is looking on it But great constant infinite are the honours which are laid vp for those that loue GOD. But peraduenture Beauty shall haue thy loue Heare the iudgement of beautifall Bathsheba vnto Salomon her sonne Fauour is deceitfull and beauty is vanity But a woman that feareth the LORD shee shall be praysed What is beauty indeed the Loadstone and delight of the eye very pleasing to the sight but exceeding brittle mutable and momentany like Summer Apples which last not long One wound one fit of an ague a little sickenesse or a few yeares will marre it Bion called it Bonum alienum a good but none of ours being able neither to giue it nor to keepe it Socrates
