the mind and a delight in ignorance Want of subjection and conformity in the will and rebellion withall Want of holines in the affections and pronesse to evill An aiming at a mans self in all actions or rather the disease of the soule is satisfied A fullfilling the desires of the flesh Ephes 2. verse 3. Let us fasten here a litle A blind mind an ignorant soule is not subject to the law of God neither indeed can be Rom. 8.7 And therefore though God forbid men of this frame to love the world yet they will love it still they have no heart no stomack to God and his wayes This is the frame of the spirit of an unholy man And therefore they that are such make not God the end of their thoughts word or actions No nor indeed themselves as creatures such is the blindnes of their mind and perversnes of their spirits Sicke soules must be humour'd or else they are quite undone they think although in truth it fares with such as with men and women that have sick bodies that use to long for that which will prove their bane Their lust make them fooles They have no understanding the eies of their mind are put out They fashion themselves according to their lust in their ignorance They are as blind as beetles They are like a man that is sick of a feaver that must have could drink and other things which his disease cals for though it kill him These will rather dy then yield to God and hug that snake in their bosome which will sting them to death at last And thus ye see what unholines is T is true gracious men may slip they may be overtaken in a fault but it doth cost them deare If Peter deny Christ he will weep bitterly If David step aside as he did in the matter of Vriah he will water his couch with his tears and make his bed to swim But as for these poor unholy souls their case is sad and dismal Never tell me say some of holines and exactnes I will not no I will not I will dy rather What holines is Such we read of in Jeremy As for the words that thou speakest we will not do And again Let us not give heed to any of his words Well Sirs sith there are among you such as will not heare us speak of God to you Yet we will not cease to speake to God for you And now let us see what holines is Three things in the soule It is indeed the restoring of all these defects which I have spoken of to you But before I go any further in that matter let me shew you three things in the soule First the substance thereof Secondly the faculties or powers of the soule Thirdly the qualities of these faculties Ye have a fit resemblance of these in an instrument of musick there is the instrument the strings the harmony Now ye must know when Adam fell the substance of his soul was the same afterward that it was before The devils have the same substance in hell that they had when they were in heaven Neither are the faculties of the soule lost by the fall but only the good qualities are defaced that which we call the image of God As first for the understanding knowledge Collos 3 10. And have put on the new man Saith the Apostle there Which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him where we may easily gather that holy souls are knowing souls understanding what was lost is found again And then secondly for the will and affections Ephes 4.24 And that ye put on the new man which after God is created in righteousnes and true holinesse knowledge is opposed to ignorance an ignorant person is an ungodly person And holinesse and righteous to concupiscences and the lusts of the old man To which if yee add one thing to wit sincerity and truth and an aiming at Gods glory then ye have the body of holinesse So now ye see that an holy frame of the soul standeth in the absence of the contrary evill and a positive quality and habit of goodnes Some set it forth thus Holinesse respecteth God immediately and is contained in the duties of the first Table Righteousnes respecteth man and the creatures and compriseth the duties enjoyned in the second Table Truth respects the manner how both the former are to be practised These make a perfect harmony in all the faculties of the soule and are that created holinesse which is communicated from God as first to Adam in his creation so since to all regenerated ones A seventh motive to move us to labour for holines Be exhorted I say again to get holiness and let me adde one consideration more to stir you up to labour for holinesse viz. That the most holy men are the least fearing men Paul was of great courage he had much holinesse 1 Thess 2.10 Ye are witnesses and God also how holily and justly and unblamably we behave our selves among you that believe Therefore when the Viper leapt upon his hand he feared not Polluted souls are full of fear Saul was afraid of David because the Lord was with him and was departed from Saul 1 Sam. 13.12 And Herod feared John knowing that he was a just man and an holy Mark 6.20 Magnas vires habet pietas Godlinesse hath great strength The righteous also shall hold on his way and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger Job 17.9 so Prov. 28.1 The righteous is bold as a Lyon Nehemiah was an holy man and would not fly Should such a man as I flee saith he Nehemiah 6.11 If God be sanctified by us he will be a sanctuary to us If Fortitude were of such high account among Heathens when it was but a virtue what esteem should it have as a grace Do but get holinesse and ye need not fear of ten thousands of people that have set themselves against you round about as David did not Psalm 3. v. 6. Though 40. men binde themselves with an oath against a holy man yet they can do him no harm If Nebuchadnezzar theaten the fiery furnace to the 3 Saints in Daniel yet they will behold An Deus est in mundo pro nihilo Card. borrom Silentiarius Si Deus mei curam non habet quid vivo Daniel 3. from the 13. verse to the 19th A holy man need not fear any thing Holinesse will carry a man through the world He that knows himself to be one of Gods holy ones May bid defiance to all fears and dangers whatsoever Holinesse arms a man with armour of proof against all fears What said a Cardinal being told of great danger is God in the world for nothing And another if God have not care of me why do I live And now Christians arm your selves against fears by holinesse fears of the world fears of death which God knows how soon may seize upon us God will
