A14280	A divine discoverie of death directing all people to a triumphant resurrection, and euer-lasting saluation.	Vaughan, Edward, preacher at St. Mary Woolnoth.	1612 (1612)	STC 24596; ESTC S105922	75,056	213

the people of Israel frō Egypt to Canaan was through the most vaste deep and dangerous places of all the world and sometimes through goodly valleyes by pleasant riuers and such like places of contentment sometimes in great penurie scarcenesse of all good things and sometimes in great plentie of euerie thing thus with vncertainties mutabilities liking disliking 40. Num. 33.1 yeares together before they came into the promised land not resting in any one good place one whole yeare intermingling one with another Euē so is it with gods people specially such of thē as his Maiesty knoweth will not trauel rightly the right way Moses said God led them 40 yeares in the wildernes Deut. 8.2.3 to trie thē to humble them to know what was in their hearts God said by the mouth of his Prophet thus Ier. 30.11 Although I haue striken thee with the wound of an enemie and with a sharpe chastisement because thy sins were increased I will correct thee but not vtterly cut thee off So God said to Dauid concerning Salomon his sonne 2 Sam. 7.13 If he sin I will chastise him with the roddes of the children of men but my mercy will I not vtterly take from him Whom the Lord loueth Heb. 12.6 saith the holy Author to the Hebrues he chastiseth he scourgeth euery sonne that he receiueth We haue a famous example in Dauid whō if God had not humbled with continuall persecution it is certaine he would haue driuen Saul violently out of his kingdome The third reason why some do die languishingly As the former proceeded from the mercie of God towards those whom he would reforme so in this we shall finde the ineuitable iustice of God vpon the wicked euery way disabling and putting them downe from their intents and enterprises keeping them at a low rate and as it were at a scantling He deales with them as with the house of Ioab the murtherer 2 Sam. 3.23 neuer without running issues neuer without the leprosie or one that leaneth on a staffe or doth fall on the sword or lacketh bread So God said he would deale with the people Israel if they would not keepe his commandemēts in these words The Lord wil make thy plagues wonderfull and of long continuance Deut. 28.59 sore diseases and of long durance Such a writing was brought to Iehoram King of Iudah from the Lord because of his Idolatrie contayning this effect Thou shalt be in great diseases 2 Chro 21.12 to 16. 2 King 15.5 in thy boweles day by day Ahaziah King of Iudah was disabled with a leprosie for euer The fourth reason why some do die suddenly or instantly hath these two respects The first respect is the matter wherewith they die Some die with old age as did Dauid some with long endured sicknesse some with the eminency of the place which ministreth present danger and death as a ship against the rocks a wildernesse of wilde beasts a storehouse of gunpouder Sometimes in respect of Gods sudden decree because the Lords breath is in his nostrels Sometimes being occasioned from a naturall cause which learned Physitiōs say doth arise ab apoplexia a stoppage in the head or à vomida pulmonū a suffocation in the lungs or else à sincope vel cardiaogmo from the stomacke or heart All which is common both to good and bad men to the iust and vniust and that which neuer giues warning nor knowledge any manner of way formerly to be preuented by physicke and therefore rightly called Mors repentina a sudden and an vnprouided death The second respect is the manner or difference betwixt both The bad and vniust man dieth suddenly how long soeuer he liueth and what warning soeuer he hath Mat. 25.3 because of his vnpreparednesse like the foolish virgins or like the vniust and carelesse steward The good and vpright man who feares the Lord and rules himselfe according to his lawes is alwaies vpon his guard like the good householder who knowes on a night suddenly his house shall be broken vp and like those wise virgins alwaies in a readinesse euer looking for death This resēblance of both was in the old world Noah was well prepared the rest were nothing at all The eight vses that we are to make of this doctrine concerning the naturall death which is the common death and the generall visitation of all men The first vse concerning the naturall death It serueth to reproue old men who either idlely or riotously spēd their patrimonies and their parents portions The holy Prophet Hosea saith Hose 7.9 Gray haires are here and there vpon him and he knowes it not to wit the aged man considers not the old man whose life is almost ended remembers not he thinkes vpon time enough to be getting and sparing which is yet left behinde he deuiseth vpon many more yeares so goeth on vntill his strēgth faileth him and he purposeth to bring many matters vnto good effect euen by his wits when as indeede with his strength his senses will faile him Therfore Ieremy the Prophet said Lam. 3.27 It is good for a man to beare the yoke in his youth It is expedient that he do take paines in his profession while he may lest when he should giue he be enforced to take Salomon not onely for matters of saluation but also for matters of this life doth exhort very earnestly particularly plainly Eccle. 12.1.2 to 8. thus Remēber thy maker in thy youth whiles the euil dayes come not nor the yeares approch wherein thou shalt say I haue no pleasure in them To conclude with that patheticall saying of Saint Paul 1 Timo. 5.8 If there be any man that prouideth not for his owne namely for them of his household he denieth the faith and is worse then an infidell the honorable age is not that which is measured by time neither that which is measured by the number of yeares but wisdome is the gray haire Wisd 4.7.8 an vndefiled life is the old age As if he had said It is not the age of any man how old soeuer that deserues reuerence and speciall account amongst men but it is the knowledg of God and an vnreproueable life The second vse concerning the naturall death It serueth to reproue those who by their ouer much care and excessiue labors haue gotten much wealth alway getting euer sparing neuer spending accounting from ten to the hundred and from the hundred to the thousands for euery of their children yea and many times hauing neither sonne nor daughter they know not for whom and yet in all this time and amongst all this wealth hauing nothing at all for themselues against the day of the Lord hauing indeede neither oyle nor lampes Much like the gluttō that fared deliciously euery day Luk. 16.19 gorgeously apparelled but inwardly for his soule he was more miserable then any and as the poore begger at his doore outwardly So commonly
