And also vpon the seruants will I powre out my spirit Againe Out of the mouth of Babes hast thou ordained strength because of their enemies Notwithstanding these prophesies I grant chiefly fulfilled at the comming of Christ yet in respect of the perpetuity of it it is to remaine vntill the number of the elect be accomplished yea and wee that are now liuing haue seene the extraordinary power and operation of it if wee consider since the time of Luther how the Angell flying from the middest of heauen Reuel 14.6 hauing an euerlasting Gospell in his mouth to preach to the nations that dwell vpon the earth saying with a loud voice Feare GOD giue glory to him an vnspeakeable and peculiar fauour of GOD as our Sauiour Christ sayeth Blessed are the eies that see those things which you see and the eares that heare those things which you heare being the onely meanes to bring vs into the fauour of God and men that it may bee sayed of vs Cant. 6.9 as it was of his owne spouse Who is this that loeketh forth as the morning faire as the Moone pure as the Sunne terrible as an armie with banners Yea then we shall bee pretious to the Lord who so toucheth vs toucheth the apple of his eie and hee will say to our enemies Cant. 3.5 I charge you O you daughters of Ierusalem by the Roe by the Hindes of the field that you stirre not vp nor waken my beloued vntill shee please Yea then shall wee be set as a seale vpon his heart and as a signet vpon his arme for loue is stronger then death Ielosie is cruell as the graue the coales thereof are fiery coles and a vehement flame much water cannot quenâ—r loue neither can the flouds drowne it If a man would giue al the substaÌ„ce of his house for loue the world would greatly contemne it Cant. 8.1 Secondly it much aduanceth declareth and setteth forth the power of the Gospell when men are made of Lions Lambs their natures being changed that they come willingly in the day of assembly the loue of God constraining them and the blessing of God vpon them causing their sonnes to bee as the plants growing vp in their youthes their daughters as the corner stones grauen aft r the manner of Apelles c.

thy righteous professions sake know that the Lord hath set such a master ouer thee for thine euerlasting good to try thy constancy or to make thee more feruent in thy prayers or to diminish thy loue of the world or for an example of patience or an instance of comfort to others in like case As many as I loue I rebuke and chasten saith our Sauiour Christ Apoc. 3.19 Whosoeuer be the instrument the chastening is Christs see that thou do thy duty vnto thy master to the vttermost of thy power though he be neuer so moody euen as if he were another Moses the mildest man vpoÌ„ the earth that the name of God his doctrine be not euill spoken of Assure thy selfe he shal be no harder to thee then the Lord shall see good and expedient for thee for we see some men want neither power nor will who somtimes in their suddeÌ„ anger would kil their seruaÌ„ts but theÌ„ the Lord manifests his prouidence towards his children in restraining them from those outrages which in that madding passion they are incited to Pray vnto the Lord to turne thy masters heart that hee may haue a feeling of his sinnes that so he may come to repentance and in the meane time ouercome thou his euill with goodnes and the Lord will either vnexpectedly alter his wil and affections or allow thee such other secret ioyes as shall ouerballance all thy griefes and discomforts If then thou wilt goe to heauen thou seest the iorney thither lies not in plaine waies thou must goe thorow good report and bad derisions and skornes and molestations but the end of the iorney is a sufficient recompence for all cumbers and inconueniences of the way the paines are light and momentany the waight of glory to which they bring vs is vnspeakeable and euerlasting So long as thou wast of the world the world loued her owne now that thou hast forsaken and bid defiance to her she takes thee for an enemy loades thee with hatred disdaine infamy slander and all maner of contempt No matter all this worse shall worke to the best to them that loue God when the softnes and delicacy and ease of worldlings shall be their owne destruction All the holy men of old time all the cheefe lights of the Church all those that now walke in long white robes with palmes of victory in their hands yea he that Saint Iohn saw in the middest of the seuen golden candlestickes whose face did shine as the Sunne in his strength euen he also hath begunne to vs in this bitter cup and shall we shrinke to pledge them when there are but a few smal drops left for vs to sip off If carnall men suffer so much to satisfie their lusts to get riches or dignities to feed themselues with a little smoake of vaine glory or to taste some sleight pleasure which bringes repentance at her heeles If they feare not the waues of the sea nor the flames of fire nor the crossings of men to attaine these shall we be so without all heart or so nice that wee will not abide a scoffe or a reprochfull word to attaine those solid substantiall and eternall pleasures and good things in comparisoÌ„ of which all the honours riches commodities allurements sweetnes of the world are to bee esteemed not onely toyes and trifles but very dregs and drosse refuse not worth the taking vp No no when we haue once resolutely vowed our selues to Gods seruice GOD putteth another spirit into vs and a generous heart that though we be sometimes moued with these oppositions yet wee are neuer so farre oppressed by them as to forsake our righteousnesse or cast our lot in amongst sinners but in the middest of them our eie is so fixt vpon the end of our race and the heauenly garland reserued for such as perseuere and hold on that shrewd words serue as a good gale of wind and shrewd deedes as a violent streame to carry vs the more swift towards the port where wee would be Thus hauing finished this small Treatise I would beseech you as the Apostle saith to suffer these few lines of exhortations Ephes 6. and that you faint not in your afflictions but bee strong in the Lord putting on the whole armour of GOD that yee may be able to stand against all the assaults of the Diuell hauing your loynes girt about with veritie and hauing on the breast plate of righteousnesse and your feet shod with the preparation of the Gospell of peace and aboue all take the shield of faith wherewith yee may quench all the firy darts of the wicked and take the helmet of saluation and the sword of the spirit which is the word of GOD that being thus armed with these spirituall weapons ye may bee able to wrestle against principalities and powers and against our spirituall enemies the gouernors of the darknes of this world Now the Lord from heauen raine downe his grace into our hearts and strengthen vs with might in the inner man that wee may stand fast and encourage one another against all the bents of worldly aduersitie that being rooted and grounded in loue we may be able to comprehend with all Saints what is the bredth and length depth and height and know the loue of Christ which passeth all knowledge that wee may bee filled with all fulnes of God Vnto him therfore that is able to do exceeding abundantlie aboue all that we can aske or thinke be all praise glory maiesty dominion and power thorowout all gerations both now and for euermore Amen A Morning Praier to be vsed in priuate families O LORD our God and heauenly Father we thy vnworthy children do heere come into thy most holy heauenly presence to giue thee praise and glory for all thy great mercies and manifold blessings towards vs especially for that thou hast preserued vs this night past from all the dangers and feares therof hast giuen vs quiet rest to our bodies brought vs now safely to the beginning of this day and doest now a fresh renue all thy mercies vpon vs as the Eagle renueth her

life specially for thy most holy word and sacraments and all the good we enioy thereby for the continuance of the Gospell amongst vs for the death of thy Sonne all that happinesse which we haue
