There was no Magistrate in the Land No possessour or Heir of restraint saith the Original as the Margin in our new Translation will inform you so called because this was and is their office to bridle and restrain men from all kind of wickednesse doctrinal and Moral in matters as well of Religious as Civill concernment It is noted as the Reason how it came to passe that Micah played the Idolater in that manner Iudg. 17. 5 6. the Chapter foregoing that he had an house of gods of Idols and made an Ephod a Priestly vestment such as the High Priest wore and Teraphim Images and consecrated one of his sons who became his Priest being neither of Aarons Linage now Tribe so moulding the Religion of God according to his own fancy In those dayes saith the verse following there was no King in Israel no Judge no supream Magistrate but every man did that which was right in his own eyes as in matters of Civil so of Religious concernment Intimating that so they should not nor durst not have done had there been a Magistrate set over them Into whose hands God committing the care and custody of both Tables he ought to have an eye to Gods Religion as well as to any other Civil interest whatsoever so as not to suffer it to be injuried or prejudiced as not by false Worshippers so not by false Teachers Concerning whom the Law under the Law was expresse Deut. 13. 5. If there arise among you saith the first verse a Prophet or dreamer of dreames c. saying Let us go serve other gods so endeavouring to seduce the people from the true worship and service of God that Prophet or dreamer of dreams shall be put to death saith the fifth verse being a convicted seducer in so high a kind he was not to be suffered to live And was this crime then adjudged to be so Capital surely it cannot be so venial as some at this day would make it who would have a licentious liberty given not onely to all men in a private way keeping their Conscience to themselves but to all kind of Teachers to come upon the publick Stage and there by Tongue or Pen preaching or writing to vent what doctrines they please To this let Magistrates see Being accountable for it as to God so to his people who cannot have the Evil put away from the midst of them as the close of that verse there hath it unlesse some course and some severe course also be taken for the restraining and repressing of such dangerous deceivers But I shall prosecute this no further But rather come to that which is behind in the Text the second Branch of it Wherein we shall meet with a proper and soveraign Remedy for the aforesaid Malady For it is a good thing that the heart be established with Grace IN which words for the better handling of them we may take notice of two things The thing here commended and the means of attaining it The thing commended is Heart-Establishment It is a good thing that the Heart be established The means of attaining this Establishment Grace It is a good thing that the heart be established with Grace Upon these two I shall insist severally and that with all convenient brevity Begin with the former It is a good thing that the heart be established Where by way of Explication let two things be enquired into What is here meant by the Heart what by the Establishing of the heart For the former I will not trouble you with the severall acceptations of the word Heart in Scripture which are many Literally and properly what it signifieth I shall not need to tell you that fleshy partt in the Body of Man or other Creature which is the seat of the soul the fountain of life Primum vivens ultimum moriens the first that liveth and the last that dyeth But this is not the heart that our Apostle here speaketh of As for this heart the proper meanes of strengthening and establishing it is by Meats and Drinks Thus Abraham speaking to the three Angels and taking them to be Men he bids them sit down and rest themselves and I saith he will fetch a morsel of bread and comfort ye your hearts Gen. 18. 5. Fulcite corda Stay or stablish your hearts saith the Original meaning their vitall spirits whereof the heart is the receptacle But to let that go The Heart here spoken of is as the Apostle telleth us such a thing as whose establishment is not by Meats but by Grace Understand hereby then the Soul of man The Reasonable soul with the faculties of it So the word Heart in Scripture is most frequently used it being as I said the proper seat of the Soul And so look we upon it here It is good that the Heart the Soul Q.
