TWO SERMONS on these wordes of Peter the Apostle Honour all men Loue brotherly felowship Epist 1. chap. 2. vers 17. Preached at Marlebrough the seuenth of Nouember and fifth of Ianuarie 1595. by Charles Pynner Minister of the Church of Wotton-Basset in North-wiltshire Gal. 6.10 VVhile we haue time let vs do good vnto all men but especially vnto them which are of the houshold of faith LONDON Printed by Thomas Creede 1597. TO THE RIGHT honourable and my especiall good Lady Anne Ladie de La VVarr wife vnto the L. de La Warr that now is a grace mercie and peace from God the Father and from the Lorde Iesus Christ MAdame when at the request of my worshipfull and godly friend Master Iohn Bailiffe theÌ„ Maior of Marl-brough I had there preached these two Sermons I purposed euen theÌ„ though thwarted til now by some occasions to offer the same vnto your Ladiship in part of paiment of a much greater summe which for many your benefites as manie knowe and my selfe most willinglie acknowledge is due vnto you And the rather I haue done this and in this kinde sought some part of recompence because as Dauid sayth vnto God One day in thy Courts is better then a thousand Psal 84.13 So your whole life telleth vnto others and to mee especially that one Sermon yea one sentence of the Lawe of GOD is dearer vnto you then thousands of Gold and Siluer Psal 119.73 And therfore this spark of Gods grace howe little so euer it be if any at al it be I know wil be accepted of your Ladiship and all other of like spirite in which hope I haue beene bold to make it publike desiring it may worke that good in others which the like labours of others by Gods grace and I humbly thanke him for this grace in some measure hath wrought in mee And I pray God this zealous care may still be in vs chiefly in those that haue receiued most to helpe theÌ„ which especially haue neede thereof as lacking the liuelie voyce of theyr owne pastours In the want of which duetie in many most learned of whome howe many haue receiued how many taleÌ„ts which go not abroade or so broade as they might euen he which hath receiued a little I speake for my selfe may I trust bee allowed to giue a little VVhich if there be a willing minde first as sayth the Apostle it is accepted according to that a man hath and not according to that he hath not The Lord Iesus preserue your good Ladyship with my honourable good Lord and your happy children happie if they knowe their happinesse of such their parents and increase in you the graces of his holy spirite Amen From London the second of August 1597. Your Honours bounden and in all dutie to commaund Charles Pynner THE FIRST Sermon 1. Pet. Chap. 2. Vers 17. Honour all men THe Apostle in these words not so much teacheth the faithfull to whome hee writeth as exhorteth them vnto certaine duties which it seemeth they knew before Like as himselfe in this and his other Epistle with the rest of the Apostles and indeede all the holy Scriptures both of the old and new Testament are very plentifull in this matter of exhorting These things commaunde and teach 1. Tim. 4.11 faith Paul to Timothie the first fourth That which is taught must be commaunded like as that which is commanded must first bee taught Which sheweth our dulnes deerely beloued and how restie we are and needing a spurre in the knowen way And yet it may bee many Philips heere not so vnwilling to embrace their dutie as not knowing what dutie is that they may embrace it In the fourteenth of Iohn If ye had knowen me saith Christ ye should haue knowne my father also Ioâ—â— 14 7.â— â—seq and from henceforth ye know him and haue seene him Phillip saide vnto him Lord shewe vs the Father and it sufficeth So we shew vs what it is to honour all men and we will honour them What is the brotherhood we will loue them what it is to feare God and we will feare him and so forth But Iesus said vnto him Phillip I haue beene so long time with you and hast thou not knowne me he that hath seene me hath seene my Father I cannot chalenge you as Christ doth Philip I haue beene so long time with you for I haue bin seldome with you Neither yet can your own Pastours so chalenge you notwithstanding their bodily presence which you haue had much longer time then Christ was with his disciples because they haue not so preached and shewed Christ vnto you as Christ his father to his disciples And whence this deadly plague should come I knowe not except partly from the the measels of the Gergesites contented rather then they would bee at any cost with Christ to be without him and partly from the seueritie of God against this sinne and others who despiseth vs in this prophanenesse as once his owne people Israel and Iuda in the eleuenth of Zacharie the Lorde by the Prophet denouncing thus Zach. 11.9 Then I saide I will not feede you that that dyeth let it die and that that perisheth let it perish As Christ also telleth them in the 23. of Mathew Math. 23 38 that they are giuen ouer Beholde saith he your house it left vnto you desolate O my people sayth the Lord by Esay They which leade thee Isa 3 12 misleade thee and hide form thee the way of thy pathes And yet lo deerely beloued some parte of your pathes as a stranger that passeth by and is content to go a little with you to shewe you the way that GOD hath shewed him For God that commaundeth the light to shine out of the darkenesse sayth the Apostle 2. Cor. 4 6 the second to the Corinthians chap. 4. ver 6. is he which hath shined in our hearts to giue foorth the light of the knowledge of the glorie of God in the face of Iesus Christ And hee it is which hath lighted our candle not that we should put it vnder a bed or vnder a bushel but on a candlestick that it may giue light vnto the whole house And lo now it shineth vpon your candlestick to shew you some parte of the way which you must walke The first steppe vvhereof is this Honour all men the seconde this Loue brotherly fellowshippe or the brotherhood the third this Feare God and the sourth and last this Houour the King And yet it seemeth this last point needed not to haue bin added by the Apostle hauing spoken so largely at the first saying Honour all men For is the King no bodie Yes verily hee is more then any besides and therefore hath a speciall honour by himselfe In which respect the Apostle saith againe more distinctly and particularly of him Honour the King but of this in place Wee haue therefore heere in the first place or point of this exhortation
