Lord 1. Cor. 15.58 what the yong man boasted of vaine-gloriously wee must striue after sincerely all these haue I kept from my youth vpwardes Mar. 10.20 For God loueth a fulnesse of all things an abounding in every good gift 2. Cor. 8. a fulnesse of knowledge Col. 1.9 a fulnesse of obedience Phil. 1.11 a fulnesse of faith and for that purpose giueth to his a fulnesse of the holy Ghost Stephen full of faith and of the holy Ghost Act. 6.5 Away then with those depthes of Satan when men thinke that they may borrow a point of God and with that yong man Marke 10. faile in one thing or other and with Herod Mar. 6. keepe their minion Herodias some darling sinne or other so long as they doe many good things Let not then the vsurer flatter himselfe with an opinion that God will be mercifull vnto him in his vsury as Naaman prayed that God would be mercifull vnto him in the point of bowing in the idoles temple 2. Kings 5. nor the adulterer in his adultery nor the blaspemer in his swearing nor the drunkard in his swilling nor the slanderer in his evill speaking nor the louer of pleasures in his immoderate and vnlawfull pastimes nor any man in his taking liberty to committe continue in any knowne sinne Our obedience to God must be vniversall like to that which the Reubenites Gadites and halfe tribe of Manasseh professe and promise to Ioshuah all that thou commandest vs will wee doe whithersoever thou sendest vs will we goe in all things as we obeyed Moses so will wee obey thee los 1.16.17 We must then with the Apostle pray that the God of peace would make vs perfect in every good worke to doe his will Heb. 13.20.21 And Almes-deedes which shee did But the holy Ghost here transit Ã thesi ad hypothesin passeth from the generall to the speciall from her fulnesse in good workes in generall to her fulnesse in one good worke specially and that is in almes-deeds It may be sayd what neede this wast of words if shee were full of all good workes then consequently of almes-deedes if shee abounded in every grace then in this also for Genus est inseparabile Ã suis speciebus the generall and the speciall cannot be separated one from another It is true the one cannot be without the other but very frequently in scripture where wee finde religion good works meÌ„tioned we shall see giving of almes attend vpon theÌ„ as an elder daughter vpon the mother Cornelius being coÌ„mended for a devout man one that feared God this point is preseÌ„tly added he gaue muchalmes to the people Act. 10.2 the Apostle requiring in a widow to be choseÌ„ for the service of the Church that she shold be well reported of for good workes presently hitteth vpon this speciall if she haue lodged strangers if she haue washed the Saints feet if shee haue relieued the afflicted 1. Tim. 5.10 and calling vpon the Hebrewes that they should not forget to doe good in the next place he addeth and to communicate Heb. 13.16 either joyning the speciall to the generall communicating to doing of good or by both words signifying one thing because distributing to the necessities of our brethren is magna pars bonorum operum a great and principall part of good works it is as Demosthenes sayd pronunciation was in Rhetoricke primum secundum tertium in benefaciendo the first second and third point in doing of good Yea consider how great a good worke almes doing is seeing it shall be mentioned when all our other workes shall be omitted Come ye blessed of my Father c. for I was hungry and yee fedde me I was thirsty and ye gaue me drinke Matt. 25.34.35 tacet Deus c. God concealeth all the other good deedes of the righteous and onely vouchsafeth to remember their almes he concealeth also all the evill deedes of vngodly men and onely thinketh meete to rebuke their barrennesse in almes Augustine in his 28. Homily and Peter Chrysologus in his 14. Sermon In the kingdome of heaven before all in the asseÌ„bly of theÌ„ that rise God mentioneth not that Abel suffred that Noah preserved the world that Abraham kept the faith that Moses gaue the law that Peter asceÌ„ded vp to the crosse of Iesus with his heeles vpwards but only speaketh of that which the pore eateth and seeing our riches so lost as the world thinketh shall be found when all the treasures that we lay vp closely shal be lost for as Gregory sayth by keeping earthly things we loose them but by giving of them we preserue them and as Peter Chrysologus whatsoever thou giuest to the poore thou shalt haue it whatsoever thou giuest not to the poore another shall haue it The point to be pressed to vs hence is as plaine as Abacuckes vision Hab. 2.2 hee may runne that readeth and observeth it It is that every Disciple of the houshold of faith must pro suo modulo according to his measure abound in this grace of distributing the rich must be rich in good workes ready to distribute willing to communicate 1. Tim. 6.17 They must cast great gifts into Christs treasury the meaner sort must not be wanting in their mites Mar. 12. and every one according to his ability must relieue his brethren for so they proportion it at Antioch Act. 11.29 yea and in case of necessity sometimes beyond his ability 2. Cor. 8.3 But who is such a stranger in our Israell that hee knoweth not these things I may say of this point as Luther sayd of that verse of the 15. Ps he that hath not giuen his money vpon vsury Iste versus non indiget expositione sed impletione this verse needes no expounding but fulfilling Instruction in this righteousnesse wee neede not but rather correction for our being behinde in this worke of the Lord. Amongst vs that are called Christians there are many professours fewe practisers and those fewe that seeme ready to other good workes are backward inough to this I will not say with the Apostle 1. Cor. 15. I speake it to our shame that little of this fruit groweth vpon many of those trees that seeme not onely to haue beene long planted but also much to flourish in the Courts of Gods house that this sure marke of sound religion is almost worne out amongst many who yet primos se volunt esse in religione would be ringleaders in religion but I will take vp those words of Naaman 2. Kings 5. God be mercifull vnto vs in this point and double them with him God be mercifull vnto vs in this point for want of shewing our pure and vndefiled religion before God by the workes of mercy towards our brethren for failing in this fruit of our faith and proofe of our being true worshippers of God caeteris rebus pietatem colimus in other matters we shew our selues very godly we can goe vp to Gods temple stand before him in his house make

aske here what good workes are Good workes then as I haue learned at the feete of a Gamaliel of ours Zanchy on the 1. chap. of the Philip. verse 11. are workes and actions aswell inward as outward whether they be thoughts in the minde and elections in the will or words vttered by the tongue or deedes which may be done by a righteous man as he is righteous in any part of his soule or body For as an actuall sinne is any thing sayd or done or thought against the law of God so a good worke and as St Iohn calleth it in his 1. epist cap. 3. righteousnesse is any thing spoken or thought or done according to the Law of God The holy Ghost for our better direction and for distinction doth sometimes tripartite good workes into 1. sobriety in the vse of outward things as meate drinke apparell and the like 2. righteousnesse in our dealings with men 3. Godlinesse in our duties to God that we should liue soberly righteously and godly in this present world Tit. 2.12 sometimes hee doth more briefely bipartite them into holinesse in the duties of the first table that concerne Gods worship and righteousnesse in the duties of the second Table that respect our neighbours good that wee might serue him in holinesse and righteousnesse all the dayes of our life Luke 2.75 And so doth our Saviour into the first and great commandement which is Thou shalt loue the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soule and with all thy minde and the second is like to it which is Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe Matt. 22.37.38.39.40 Now this being written for our learning we must learne of this Disciple this learner in in Christs schoole to joyne with our profession practice with our hearing doing with our faith vertue 2. Pet. 1.5 with our shew of godlinesse the power of it in our liues 2. Tim. 3.5 with our knowledge of God the service of him 1. Chr. 28 9. with our professing to know God a manifesting of it in our workes 2. Tim. 3.5 with our calling of AbrahaÌ„ father a doing of the workes of Abraham Iohn 8.39 The professours of the Gospell must haue their conversation as becometh the Gospell of Christ Phil. 1.27 VValke worthy of the vocation wherewith they are called Ephes 4.1 worthy of the Lord vnto all pleasing Col. 1.10 adorne themselues with good works 1. Tim. 2.10 This is a faithfull saying and these things I will that thou affirme constantly that they which haue beleeued in God might be carefull to maintaine good workes Tit. 3.8 Men learne the trades of this world to practise them and the mysteries of godlinesse are taught vs that wee may turne wordes into workes as Bernard sayth in his tract of ordering our liues It profiteth not to haue learned what wee should doe and not to doe it saith Hierome in an epistle it is better not to know a thing then to learne it with danger and Augustine and in his 2. homily on the revelation As it booteth not for a great tree to be greene and yeeld no fruit so it profiteth not to be called a Christian and not to haue Christian workes and the same father in his booke of 83 questions and 76 question sayth that the words of the Apostle I suppose that a man is justified by faith without the workes of the law are not so to be vnderstood that when a man hath receiued faith we should call him just though hee liue ill But in this point wee that glory in God Rom. 2.17 and are called Christians are so bad schollers that if my head were waters and mine eyes a fountaine of teares I could not sufficiently bewaile our wants of fruites answerable to our profession wee make our boast of Gods law amongst vs but through our breaking of it we dishonour God and cause his name to be blaspheemed Rom. 2.23.24 with the Iewes Ier. 7. wee cry templum Domini the Temple of the Lord God is amongst vs and wee are his temple but we amend not our wayes we come and stand before God in his house as a nation that would do righteously but when we are gone wee doe all abominations steale murther committe adultery sweare rashly and falsely drinke till wee are drunke giue others drinke till they are drunke also and runne to all excesse of riot Wee are indeed baptized vnto Moses Gods Ministers whom he hath sent to baptize and eate the same spirituall meate and drinke the same spirituall drinke but please not God in our liues and conversations 1. Cor. 10.2.3.4.5 with Simon Magus wee haue a kinde of temporary beliefe but our hearts are not right in the sight of God but wee are in the gall of bitternesse and in the bond of iniquity Act. 8.13.21.23 we haue Iacobs voyce smooth and blessed words but Esaus hands rough and cursed deedes with the figge tree we haue the leaues of an outward profession but want the fruits of an holy conversation with Iudas vve are numbred amongst Christs Disciples sit at table vvith him but betray him assoone as vvee are gone out vvee heare but vvee do not vvith out mouthes and bodily presence vvee shevve much loue but our hearts runne after covetousnesse Ezec. 33.31 and all kinde of vvickednes In a vvord vve haue much knovvledge no charity a dead faith a faith of Devils but no workes Christs greatest friends and they of his owne houshold are his greatest enemies being as Bernard complaines in his time all friends and all enemies all necessaries and all adversaries all neere and yet all such as seeke their owne Videtur bone Iesu as Hugo complaineth in his time O good Iesu the whole company of Christians seemeth to haue conspired against thee and they which are first in thy Church are first in persecuting of thee Woe woe vnto vs for our ill liues shall our outward profession our dead and devillish faith saue vs without good workes Marke wee that faithfull saying of St Austine in his booke of faith to Peter the Deacon cap. 40. Beleeue it for a truth and doubt not of it that not all which are baptized within the Catholicke Church shall receiue eternall life but they who after baptisme receiued liue well for as infidels heretickes and schismatickes shall not haue the kingdome of heaven so vitious Catholickes shall not possesse it Next wee haue her good workes amplified by the extent Full of good worke she was filled with the fruits of righteousnesse Phil. 1.11 like those water pottes at the wedding that were full to the brimme Ioh. 2. and shee gaue to God and man good measure pressed downe shaken together and running over Luke 8.36 what we heare then and see in her we must doe we must be ready to every good worke Tit. 3. fruitfull in every good worke Col. 1.10 walking with Zachary and Elizabeth in all the commandements of God without reproofe Luke 1. and abounding alwayes in the worke of the
