and abounded with all manner of Cruelty and Filthiness amongst these do I find thee Peter And had thy Soul like Righteous Lot's been troubled with the filthiness of the Sodomites as his was from day to day thou hadst not so soon so falsly and so frequently deny'd thy Master From hence we may observe what sorce and power evil Company hath quickly upon a Righteous Person Good Joseph being but a while in Pharaoh's Court came presently to that Mode of Honour to swear by the Life of Pharaoh Abraham the Father of the Faithful and friend of God twice deny'd Sarah to be his Wife The Famine being grievous in the Land Abraham takes his Wife Sarah and travels into Egypt and it came to pass when he came near to enter into Egypt that he said unto Sarah his Wife behold now I know that thou art a fair Woman to look upon therefore it shall come to pass that when the Egyptians shall see thee they shall say this is his Wife and they shall kill me and they shall save thee alive say I pray thee thou art my Sister Gen. 12.10 11 13. Again Abimelech said unto Abraham What sawest thou in me that thou hast done this thing And Abraham said because I thought surely the fear of God is not in this Place and they will slay me for my Wifes sake and yet indeed she is my Sister the Daughter of my Father though not of my Mother and she became my Wife And here Abraham though he did deny his Wife at this time out of fear and did wander from Place to Place and Country to Country yet he did not deny his God neither could Abimelech tax him with that For God had now made a Covenant with Abraham and the chiefest Article in this Covenant was That Sarah should conceive and bear him a Son in his old Age and should call his Name Isaac And said God I will continue my Covenant to him so that in thy Seed by Sarah thy Wife shall all the Nations of the World be blessed And it shall be for number as the Stars of the Heaven and as the Sands on the Sea-shoar yea Kings and Princes shall come out of thy Loyns and I will give thee the Land of Canaan for an Everlasting Possession to dwell in And I will be thy God and the God of thy Seed for ever Neither did Abraham deny his Son Isaac to God when he call'd for him as a trial of his Faith But all these Promises and Covenants concentrating together and terminating in Sarah's Womb made Abraham take such care of her for it was not in Ishmael but in Isaac shall thy Seed be called Gen. 17. and that Jesus of Nazareth King of the Jews should proceed out of his Loyns But now Peter this is no excuse for thee for Abraham in saying she was his Sister did not deny her to be his Wife moreover in all Ages and all times especially in the times and places of Plague Famine or Sword it hath been allow'd to some to fly and either to equivocate or excuse the Question when propos'd by implacable Enemies Our Saviour himself before his Disciples were fully prepar'd for Persecution and found in themselves they were not able to stand the hard and severe or Fiery Trials they might be put upon and so his Name or his great Cause might suffer by it therefore to avoid such bid them If they persecuted them in one City for my Name-sake and the Gospel's sake to fly into another but this was no denying him and the Church hath always allow'd it in two Cases especially to fly and avoid Persecution The one if the Church was in its infancy and not come to full strength For this reason fled Greg. Bishop of Neocaesaria when he saw the Decian Persecution grow very hot Pr. Chr. Ch. 7. part 2. N. 17. then it might be lawful for the Ministers or Disciples of Christ to flee Persecution to the intent the Gospel might be preserv'd lest smiting the Shepherd the Sheep should be scatter'd And the other is in Case as I mention'd before they find themselves not yet strong enough or courageous enough for Persecution and so the Glory of God and the Name of our great Master and the Honour of the Church of Christ might come to be dishonour'd This as to the first St. Paul to avoid Persecution was let down the Wall in a Basket when the Governor of Damascus sought his Life and thus we find the Apostles themselves shunn'd the Storm because they were the Instruments immediately deputed by Christ to propagate and convey the Gospel to the World And thus did Primitive Saints and Martyrs who wonder'd about in Desarts and Mountains and in Dens and Caves of the Earth and so have equally avoided Rashness and Cowardliness The second only gain'd a little respit for the present that they might suffer with the greater advantage afterwards thus did Joseph and Mary from the Command of God by an Angel flee with their Child the Ever-Blessed Jesu into Egypt for fear of Herod But Peter 't was quite contrary with you you was not call'd to suffer neither to the High-Priests Hall yet thou voluntarily deny'dst thy Master thy Saviour and thy Redeemer who oft had told you what you must expect and that the time would come that he must be betrayed into the hands of Sinners and but the very night before told you that you all would be offended because of him and that the time would come and was now at hand that you all would forsake him in the time of his Dereliction and he be left alone And didst not thou thy self say This was a hard saying and who could bear it and said'st thou wouldst not be offended because of him and if all forsook him yet wouldst not thou True thou didst not so much forsake him as deny him which was worse And indeed Peter I must follow thee as thou didst thy Master the Ever-Blessed and Eternal Jesu the Saviour of the World to the High-Priests Hall And Pardon me Peter if I exactly observe every behaviour of thine there It is not out of any ill to thee Peter for I very well know the love and value thy Master hath for thee but that I may delineate thee to the Life as fully and as well as I am able in this little Enchiridion what Sorrows what Sufferings what Stripes what Indignities what Reproaches what Revilings what Dereliction what Abnegations what Wounds what Agony and what Unexpressable Torments what Extensive Convulsive Distorsive Lingring and Cruciating Death thy Lord and Master but our Christ our Saviour our Redeemer our Messias and our blessed Jesu our Advocate not only now in Heaven where he is exalted above all Principalities and Powers Thrones and Dominions but while he was here on Earth the Immaculate Lamb the most beloved Son of God beloved of the Father from all Eternity before ever the World was and Lamb of God which taketh away the Sins
