did the Lord Jesus even so father for so was thy good pleasure Direction 2. Secondly cease your lying be silent in that to put away lying saith the Apostle let every man speak truth to his neighbour not only the way of lying among men and whispering against their brethren that 's not the lying I now intend but there is a lying against the Lord put it away and what is that you will say Ier. 5.12 They believed the Lord and said it is not he take heed of that lying It s an evill to belie men and you will find it so one day take heed do not belie the Lord. Direct 3. Thirdly cease your mocking silence them too the assembly of mockers is the worst society of men you can fall into and the chair of the scorner is the worst seat you can sit down in Be no more mockers lest your bands be made strong Isa 28.22 Truly mocking proceeds from a high pitch of pride and pride goes immediatly before a fall Dir. 4. Fourthly silence your rayling reviling and bitter speeches David saith some mens tongues cut like a sharp rasor and that is a remarkable place Psal 73.9 They set their mouths against heaven and their tongues run through the world what is that their mouths against heaven that is saith a learned Interpreter when men speak proudly concerning God and the things of God the ways of God the works of God and the Saints of God they stretch their mouths against heaven and their tongues run through the world they have to do with all persons with all imployments all the world over their tongues walk Solomon I remember saith Pro. 14.3 in the mouth of the foolish is a rod of ●ride he never is without a rod. Its ●he pride of a fool that sets his tongue on work to scourge the persons and their actions that are wiser then himself Direct 5. Fifthly cease your boasting speak no more so proudly against God 1 Sam. 2.3 The very boasting of men glorying in an arm of flesh hath caused the Lord many times to let them to seek their own graves When Pharaoh once said I will pursue and overtake them and satisfie my lust upon them what follows then He hastens to make his own grave in the red sea Direct 6. Lastly in some kind let me say cease your praying when the will of God is manifested take heed let not your prayers stand in opposition to Gods will when once the Lord had discovered to Ieremiah that he would certainly deliver Ierusalem into the hands of the king of Babylon he did not dare to pray any more and so David till God manifested hi● will for the child he prayed but Davids prayer was ended when God will was manifested Pray consider whoever he be that goes and engage● in prayer against Gods revealed will he may both lose his own comfort and the sweetness of it that is the first admonition 2. Secondly be admonished not to act against it when God hath manifested his will neither be thou an assistant of those that act against the revealed will of God and to inforce it take these considerations for a close Mot. 1. First let your oppositions and contrary actings be what it will be when God hath manifested his will he will carry on the work if you make the greatest opposition that heaven or earth could make yet he will carry it on Isa 31.4 The Lord led them into captivity they call to Egypt for help but saith God their horses are flesh and not spirit you come out against me as a company of ●epherds against a young Lion that ●ath taken a lamb out of the flock ●ou cannot make him fasten his pace ●ake a noise but not come near Mot. 2. Secondly the more emi●ently the Lord hath manifested his ●ill the more evill there is in thy oppo●ition and the greater the hardness of ●y heart when Gods will is manifest●d signally and in an eminent way Consider I pray the Lord saith Pharaoh ●ould let the children of Israel go The Lord wrought severall wonders and ●gns in the land of Egypt to manifest is will eminently and yet Pharaoh esisted his will and acted against it his made it an act of greater stubborn●ss and hardness of heart Mot. 3. Thirdly it is the greatest ●udgment that can befall a man in his ●cting for God to be given over to en●age against the manifest will of God ●ts the devils plague though he know his is Gods will he shall be worsted 〈◊〉 it and hath experience of it from day to day though God frustrate h● designs never so often yet by a● by he hath great expectation fro● every cloud that it will present rain Mot. 4. Fourthly you will ce●tainly in a way of opposition to Go● will meet with your destruc● on if thou art a godly man the wilt meet with judgment Isa 27. ● Who is it saith God that se● bryers and thorns in battle again● me When Gods will is manifeste● all opposition is but as bryers a●● thorns in battel God will go throug● and burn them at once and let 〈◊〉 tell you this the Lord hath said A● iniquity shall stop her mouth G●● uses to stop ungodly mens mout● two waies somtimes by the holine● of the lives of his people and so● times by his own just judgment Mot. 5. And for a conclusion 〈◊〉 not act against the will of God for● you submit not to the will of God 〈◊〉 one thing the Lord will heighten th● judgment upon you in another If you will not submit to yokes of wood truly God will make you yokes of iron remember what he hath said and I conclude with that Hos 10.11 I passed over upon her fair neck he speaks it of Iudah and saith the Lord I will put a yoke upon her fair neck and Iudah shall plough and Iacob shall break the clods God will carry it on notwithstanding all your opposition and so much for this text We ceased saying the will of the Lord be done FINIS Bellarmine what he labours to prove concerning the German Empire p. 184.
