Church of Pergamus Revelat. 2.15 was stained with the filth of the Nicolaitans Laodicea was blinde and naked and Sardis was dead Revel 3.17.3.1 In one Arke Family Field Barne Net there was Cham Ismael Tares Chaffe Bad fish with Sem Genes 7.13 Gen. 21.9 Isaac Wheat Math. 13.25 Corne good fish 3.12.13.48 There is no perfection in this life VSE Luke 17.10 When wee have done all we can we are all unprofitable servants Yet under the colour of perfections want let us not abound with folly and though we be sinners let us not cast away the feare of God Hebr. 12.3 Wee have not yet resisted unto bloud neyther have wee yet attained the marke Phil. 2.13 14. But wee follow hard towards it for the price of our high calling in Iesus Christ Secondly What was this filth of the Sanctuarie It was Twofold Proper and Metaphoricall Proper viz. dust durt and filth growne and contracted by not using of the Temple This was the sinne of them in the time of Haggai They themselves dwelt in seeled houses Hag. 1.4 and the house of God lay wast This is the sinne of our times and to all such I will say in the wordes of that Prophet Consider your owne wayes in your heart Yee looked for much Hag. 1. ● 9. and loe it came to little because of my house that is wast From the Proper we come to the Metaphoricall filth viz. The Idols Altars Ornaments whatsoever were brought in contrarie to the law of God for so all Divines both theirs and ours doe expound it not without reason 2. King 23.13 Isa 30 22. Ezech. 2 1.3 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Ezech 8.17 for Idols are called Corruption yea a polluted and a menstruous cloth Nay more then that they are called Gillulim stercora dung and that which is worst of all they are tearmed stinke VSE Oh! that these things would move us to hate Idolatry from the ground of our heart and not to thinke the better of it for the externall pompe and beautie though the Images be of gold and silver and the Ornaments rich yet the Prophet bids the faithfull to say unto them Isa 30.12 Get you hence As an adulteresse the fairer the fouler So Idolatrie Simil. Isa 44.9 the more fine the more filthy the more daintie the more deformed the more delectable the lesse profitable Let our Aduersaries doate if they will upon their golden Babylon let us esteeme all their Idols Aliars Beads Graines and Popish Ornaments no otherwise then the Scripture esteemes them namely to be filth And now let me conclude with a Question Is there any filth in our sanctuaries at all I answere For the maine filth of Idolatrie God be thanked it is well kept out but let us search Ierusalem with lights Zephan 1.12 whether there be any other left As for example If there be found among us any renewing of any Popish doctrine That is filth If contrarie to those religious Articles agreed upon in a Convocation held in this City 1615. there be any Images of the Trinitie or expressing of God the Father the Sonne and the holy Ghost in any outward forme That is filth If in our Congregations any thing be done without Order and edifying That is filth If the life of the speaker be not orderly but dissolute That is filth Out with this filth and out with that filth and out with everie thing that doth offend Math. 13.41 that God may come to his holy Sanctuarie and finde us there sitting clothed with the cleane and Wedding garments of Faith and obedience And to this end let everie one cast out the filth out of his owne heart which is Gods spirituall Sanctuarie and the Temple of the holy Ghost That he which hath pure eyes and cannot abide that thing which is evill Habac. 1.13 may take delight to dwell within us untill wee come to that celestiall sanctuarie which is above Hebr. 8.2 and to Iesus the Mediator of the New Testament Hebr. 12 24. Malach. 3.1 Isa 9.6 the Angell of the Covenant and the Prince of Peace THE SECOND SERMON Viz.

A. DVBLIN Imprinted by the Societie of Stationers Anno Domini 1625. THE SECOND SERMON The Merchant Commodities 1. KINGS 21.2 Because it is neere by my House RIght Honourable and the rest right dearely beloved in our Lord having proposed this History of Ahab and Naboth as a fit subject for such assemblies I came to that part of the Text which concerneth the reason why Ahab should desire Naboths Vineyard Which reason was Twofold viz. Matter of Necessitie because he needed a Garden of Hearbes Matter of Commoditie because it was hard by neere his house After that I had spoken of the first I came to the second where I proposed unto you three severall meditations viz. concerning A House Neerenesse Commodiousnes I have spoken of the first already and have proposed sundrie abuses which men runne into for a House and withall offered you Eight Meditations for Houses viz. Foure for Houses Materiall viz. Houses of our Owne Houses of the Poore Houses of the Prophets and the House of Go● 1. Ti. 3.15 2. Cor. 5.4 Iob 10.21 2. Cor. 5.1 Foure for Houses Metaphoricall viz. The Church of God The house of the Bodie The house of the Grave and The house of Heaven I have also spoken of the second viz. of the neerenesse of Naboths Vineyard to the Pallace of Ahab and have shewed the absurditie of Ahabs covetousnesse for by the same reason he might aswell have coveted all the neighbour bounding Lands because they were neere and Naboths Wife too because shee was neere Then I corrected the vanitie of the world which seeke for those things that are neere and neglect that which ought to be most neere Rom. 10.8 and deare unto them and so I then concluded that in all our actions we ought to draw to God whether for a Hebr 11.6 Direction or b Ephes 5 1. Imitation or c Psalm 30.8 Consolation and this with that 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or assurance of Faith which as by a certaine sprinkling purgeth our hearts from an evill d Hebr. 10 22 Conscience Thus much for an entrance by way of repetition Now let us proceede to the third and last Meditation viz. Matter of Commodiousnesse For this Vineyard of Naboth it was not onely neere the house of Ahab but it was Etzel at or by his house so commodious as nothing could be more devised This day therefore I must

good For hither come flocking they which have spent their substance upon whores dice and surfetting This crew hath dissembled holinesse From hence start out so many Stoicall apes patched rogues cowled monsters who having no credit left in things humane yet for their monstrous habit sake are put in trust with the things of God whose life being most lewd and filled with all villanie is yet left unpunished thorow pretence of Religion And lastly Cornelius Mus Corn. Mus Conc. Evang. de festis tom 1. ser 4 saith O my beloved Rome Thou art wholy turned away overthrowen and perverted Thou art become a stewes a fornace an hell Every order is departed from God Religious men are become dissolute Virgins have cast off shame Priests their Gownes Monkes their cowles Elus l. orat in Conc. Trid. in 3. Dom. Advens With what monsters of filthinesse is not both Priest and People defiled Begin at the Sanctuary of God see if there be any hope or helpe for honest life Would God they were not fallen with one consent from Religion to superstition from Faith to Infidelitie from Christ to Antichrist The sacred name of Iesus is made a jest and fable among the Iewes and Pagans by reason of us whose wickednesse with a shamefull report is bruted over all the world Ser. 33. in Cant. or in Conc. Rhemens Yea S. Bernard himselfe saith of them in his time Many Devils are chosen to be Bishops they are the ministers of Christ and they serve Antichrist Rom. 14.4 Ephes 4.20 Basil But let them stand or fall to their owne Master We have not so learned Christ. Basil saith 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 not with words but deedes that is not with wordes alone least we nourish with a word and kill with a worke Oh! VSE Exod. 28.37 Let the name of Holinesse be upon us as it was upon the forehead of Aaron let the Nature of it be within us and without us too like that Vrim Thummim upon the heart and breast-plate of Aaron and let all pray with David Exod. 28.30 O Lord let thy Priests be clothed with righteousnesse Psal● 132 9. And thus much of the Kings first command Sanctifie your selves Now for the second command Sanctifie the house of the Lord God of your Fathers I have formerly spoken of the House of God and therefore I shall now spare to speake Onely here by the way observe that he cals it not the house of their Fathers for then they would have pretended antiquitie but the house of the Lord God that they might attend to veritie and withall the Lord God of their fathers that they might joyne both together even Antiquitie and Truth Our boasting Adversaries are somewhat like the Gibeonites they pretended unto Ioshua that they came from farre Josh 9.4 6. and packt up a companie of old sacks and bottles to colour their fraud when indeede they dwelt neere at hand So these men of Rome patch up a garment with the shreds of Antiquitie when as they are but the younger Children of Time For What age can that Religion be of which was never heard of in the time of Christ nor in the time of his Apostles Or if they had a shew of Antiquitie it were nothing for Antiquitie without Veritie is but vanitie Or if they will have it in the wordes of Cyprian Cyprian coutra epist. Stephan Papae against a Pope himselfe Consuetudo sine veritate est vetustas erroris Custome without truth is the antiquitie of error But of this by the way The maine thing that this part of the Text intends is the Sanctifying of the Temple Sanctifie the house of God That is cleanse the Temple and prepare it to a holy use for otherwise there was no holinesse in it at all Many things in the Scripture are said to be Holy viz. Exod. 3.5 Levit 24.9 Math. 4.5 2. Pet. 1.18 Psalm 79.1 The Place where Moses stood The shew-bread The Citie of Ierusalem The Mount Tabor and the Temple it selfe is called Holy Yet not by any inhaerent holinesse but onely during the time of Gods presence Holy uses Christ his miracles Transfiguration or the like Oh! VSE What impostures are done in the Papacie under the name of Holinesse viz. Holy fathers of the Church of Rome Holy house viz. The house of Inquisition Holy Wels or waters Holy Maide of Kent And lastly the Holy Crosse in this kingdom but more truely the hollow Crosse a stale for Idolatrie an offence to Gods children and generally an impoverishing and robbing of the Subject Psalm 93 5. VSE Yet holinesse becommeth the house of God for ever A lesson not onely for those that are Officers in the house of God but even for all that tread in the Courts of the Lord our God To everie man belongs some especiall vertue as Liberalitie to the Rich Patience to the Poore Iustice to the Magistrate Humility to the Minister but Holinesse answereth unto all and to shew the generalitie of it it was prophecied by Zechary Zech. 14.20 that holinesse should be written upon the horse-bridles yea everie pot in Ierusalem should be holy vers 21. the whole Nation was called holy yea and upon the verie coine it selfe was there stamped on one side Ierushalaijm kedhoshah 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Holy Ierusalem But oh How farre are this people now degenerated 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Their kedhoshah which signifieth Holy quickly turned into kedheshah 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Deut. 23.17 Isa 1.21 Rom. 11.20 Hebr. 12.14 which signifieth an Harlot Oh! How is the faithfull Citie become an harlot saith the Prophet Be not high minded but feare Let there be no profaine person among us but follow holinesse without which no man shall see the Lord. And hitherto of the Kings second command Now of the last command Carrie the filth out of the Sanctuarie By the Sanctuarie is not meant a place of refuge as Isa 8.14 Isa 8.14 but it concernes the Temple of God in Ierusalem and had foure parts viz. Atrium gentium or the outward Court Adrich theat in Ierusal nu 101 Revelat 11.2 Atrium Iudaeorum or the inward Court Adricho ibid. num 87. Exod. 27.9 The holy place Exod. 26.33 The holiest of all Hebr. 9.3 Among all these by the Sanctuarie is meant commonly the holy place or Tabernacle But Synecdochically is meant the whole Temple 2. Chron. 29.16 both the inward and the outward parts And here I observe Two things viz. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Quod Quid. First that there was filth in the Sanctuarie But was there any indeed In the Sanctuarie What in the Holy place In the House of God Yes there was filth there And it is not strange The Church of Corinth 1. Corinth 5.1 was stained with the filth of Incest The Church of Galatia Galat. 1.6 was stained with the filth of a new Gospell The
