Though these three men Noe Daniel and Iob were amongst them they shall deliuer but their owne soules by their Righteousnes saith the Lord But mee thinkes I heare some say what helpes or remedies are to be found or gathered from these wordes or what point of doctrine or knowledge is heere to be had concerning the same Answere Surely all that euer the word of God teacheth to be done in such a case and that is enough and sufficient if wee had eyes to see or hearts to vnderstand But in as much as many haue eies and see not and hearts and vnderstand not for the natural man perceiueth not the things that pertaine to the spirit of God for how can he seeing that they are spiritually discerned Therfore haue I thought good at this time to lay opē more at large the sence Doctrin vses of this Scripture But first let vs consider what coherence or reference it may haue with other places of like nature for in Ieremy the 15. Chap. v. 1. it is saide vpon like occasion Though Moses Samuel stood before me yet mine affection could not bee toward this people The sence or meaning of both which places is thus that there is no entreatie with the Lord for the wicked and vnrepentant people of the world But in no case anye preiudice vnto the faithfull flocke of Iesus Christ For as we may see how absolutely the Lord refuseth to heare Moses and Samuel praying for them yet it shutteth not the dore of repentance to the faithful and penitent as we finde in verse 15. 19. where the Lord both promiseth vnto Ieremy that if hee would returne vnto him and the people with him they should bee brought againe and stand before the Lord. And Ieremy for his owne part notwithstanding the former communication prayeth saying O Lord thou knowest remember mee and visite and reuenge mee of my persecutors take mee not away in the continuance of thy wrath c. Euen as in this place it is saide though Noe Daniel and Iob were amongst them c. where againe we learne that as there is no place nor reason of reconciliation left vnto the wicked cōtinuing in their wickednes yet the faithfull and repentant how few soeuer they be haue alwaies free accesse vnto the throane of grace so oft as they shal return vnto the Lord their God which maketh much for the consolation of the godly as on the contrary part it may increase the terrour trouble of the wicked more and more which doctrine the Prophet Dauid maketh plaine ps 32. 10. saying Many sorrowes shall come to the wicked but he that trusteth in the Lord mercy shall imbrace him on euery side A most euidēt example we haue of this in the destruction of Core Dathan and Abiram with their cōpany the deliuerance of Moses and Aaron with their partakers notwithstanding there was offring of Incense on both sides yea and that at one the selfe same time yet the rebellious part onely perished and the obedient were preserued and deliuered Againe when the plague was begunne and the wrath of the Lord gone foorth for the murmuring of those that escaped the swallowing of Corah as were read in the same chapter v. 14. so that there died 14. thousand and seauen hundered in a short time and the Lord had saide that he would destroy euen the whole congregation yet when Aaron at the commaund of Moses had taken a Censer put fire therein of the Altar with Incense and made the attonement hee standing betweene the dead and the liuing the plague ceased A singuler document for vs at this day who standing in the like predicament of punishment of for as they were punished with the plague of pestiilence for their rebellions against the ministers of God enen so we for our rebellions against the word of God with dearth and Famine and therfore had neede to take our Censers that is our hearts and put fire therein as Salomon saith in the person of VVisdome My Sonne giue mee thy heart and put therein the fire and zeale that wee may bee feruent in Prayer and call vpon the name of the Lord earnestlye as our high Priest Iesus Christ hath taught by his owne example who in his Agonie when the hand of the Lord was vpon him as wee reade in S. Luke chap. 22. verse 44. prayed most instantly This is the verie doctrine of this place for what doth the prophet else mean whē he saith Though Noe Daniel Iob that were amōgst thē but this that such mē as these were who called vpon the name of the lord in their troubles as Daniel preached his word faithfully as Noe and practised the same effectually in their cōuersations as Iob did shal deliuer their own soules by their righteousnes that is such as repent them truely of their sinnes and put their trust in the Lord euen as Salomon likewise teacheth saying When there shal be famine in the land when there shall be pestilence blasting or Mildew Groshopper or caterpiller when the enemie shall beseidge them in the cittie of the Land or any plague or any sicknesse Then what prayer or supplication soeuer shall be made of any man or of al thy people Israel when euerie one shal knowe his owne Plague and his own disease shal stretch forth his hands towards this house meaning the Temple Heare thou then in heauen thy dwelling place and be merciful and giue euerie man according to his waies as thou doost knowe his heart for thou onely knowest the hearts of the Children of men Thus doth Salomon like as Moses teach how in al our troubles and distresses we must take the censure of a troubled and sanctified soule and come to the Lord his Temple wheresoeuer two or three shall bee gathered together in the name of the Lord Iesus Christ and make our praiers and supplications knowing acknowledging our plague and our disease that is our own fin shal stretch forth our hands towards the new Ierusalem that then God will heare in heauen his dwelling place and be mercifull giue euery one according to his waies Therefore shall euerie one that is Godly saith Dauid Psalm 32. 6. make his praier vnto thee in time when thou maist be found And therefore are these Patriarkes and Prophets heere named Noe Daniel and Iob who all of them called vpon the Lord in their necessities and were holpen as we read in Gen. 7. Dan. 6. Iob. 39. chapters For heere by prayer-making or calling on the Lord is ment the whole worship of God a part put for the whole as likewise our Sauiour teacheth in the Gospell saying Come vnto me all ye that are wearie and laden and I wil ease you where by comming vnto me Christ teacheth what hee would haue vs to doe namely First to beleeue in him to heare his word to receiue his Sacraments to sanctifie his Saboaths and powre foorth our hearts before him in all maner of
