of the world worketh death 2 Cor. 7.8.9.10 Motives to Godly sorrow are frequently met with in Scripture For 1. private corruptions 2. publick calamities 3. praevayling pressures and insultations of Satan and his adhaerents to the scandall of christian religion and professon 1. What an heart-breaking was this to David Behold I was shapen in iniquity and in sin did my mother conceive or warme m● Psal 51.5 Mine iniquities are gone over my head and are a sore burden for me too heavy for me to beare Psal 38 4. Innumerable troubbles are come about me my sins have taken such hold upon me that I am not able to looke up yea they are more in number then the hairs of my head and my heart hath failed me O Lord let it be thy pleasure to deliver me make haste O Lord to help me Psal 40.15 16. When thou with rebukes dost chasten man for sin thou makest his beauty to consume avvay as it vvere a moth fretting of a garment Every man therefore is but vanity Psal 39.12 whence St. Paul bemoans himselfe I delight in the law of God after the inward man Rom. 7. but I see another law in my members warring against the law of my mind bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members O wretched man that I am who shall deliver me from the body of this death sin must needs bring sadnesse to many that proved so odious to God's nature that it ruined the angells bereaved Adam of Gods favour and Paradise could not be expiated but by the son of God who knew no sin yet was made sin for us that we might be made the righteousnes of God in him 2 Cor. 5.21 2. How publick calamities affect the heart with sorrow of all those that are true of heart may be gathered by those passionate passages of Isaiah Look away from me for I will weep bitterly labour not to comfortmè because of the spoyling of the daughter of my people Isa 22.4 Of Jeremy My bowells my bowels I am pained to the very heart The vvall of my heart makes a noyse vvithin we I cannot hold my peace because thou hast heard O my soule the sound of the trumpet the alarm of war Destruction upon destruction is cryed for the vvhole land is spoyled Suddainly are my tents spoyled and my curtaines in a moment Hovv long shall I see the standard and hear the sound of the trumpet For my people is foolish they have not knowen me they are sottish children they have not understanding they are wise to do evill but to do good they have no knowledg Jerem. 4 O that my head were waters and mine eyes a fountain of teares that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people Oh that I had in the Wildernesse a lodging place of wayfaring men that I might leave my people and go from them for they be all adulterers an assembly of treacherous men Jer. 9.1 Thus Jerusalem is bemoaned made drunk with the cup of fury that had none of her sons to take her by the hand to guide her of all those she hath brought up but lay as a bull in a net at the head of all the streets Isa 51. 3. Complaints of Sataincall insultations are The ungodly for his own lust doth persecute the poore He is so proud that he careth not for God neither is God in all his thoughts His wayes are always grievous thy judgments are far above out of his sight and therefore defieth he all his enemies For he hath said in his heart Tush I shall never be cast down there shall no harm happen unto me Psal 10. This complaint is taken up again Psal 73. To which satisfaction is given Psal 37. and 49. Jeremy harps upon the same string Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper wherefore are they happy that deal very treacherously Thou hast planted them yea they have taken root they grow yea they bring forth fruit Thou art neer in their mouthes but far from their reines But it followes Those that have so trodden downe the Lords portion and desolated the land shall reap Thornes instead of Wheat put themselves to pain without profit For they shall be asham'd of their revenues because of the fierce anger of the Lord Jer. 12. Motives to Zeal Zeal which may be good or bad Good is either 1 for Gods honour 2 house or 3 people The first was of Elias I have been very jealous for the Lord God of hosts because the children have forsaken thy Covenant thrown down thy altars and slain thy people with the sword and I even I onely am left and they seek my life to take it away 1 King 19.14 For this zeal Phineas is commended of God Phineas the son of Eliezar the son of Aaron the priest hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel while he was zealous for my sake amongst them that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy Num. 25.11 Of this zeal Jehu boasted Come with me and see my zeal for the Lord so they made him ride in his chariot 2 King 10.16 The 2d sort of zeale may be typified in David The zeale of thy house hath eaten me up and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me Psal 69.9 My zeale hath consumed me because mine enemies have forgotten thy words Psal 119.139 But practised by our Saviour when he found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves and the changers of money sitting He made a scourge of small cords and drove them out of the Temple and the sheep and the oxen and poured out the changers-mony and over-threw the tables and said unto them that sold doves Take these things hence and make not my Fathers house an house of merchandize And the disciples remembred that it was written The zeale of thine house hath caten me up Joh. 2.14 Much different from the zeale of our modern zealots the zeale of whom eateth up God's house 3. For zeale to Gods people The zeale of Moses and St. Paul are notoriously eminent which was seconded by that of that resolute Priest Mattathias who when he saw a Jew sacrificing to idols was inflamed with zeale and his reins trembled neither could he forbeare to shew his anger according to judgment wherefore he ran and slew him upon the altar Also the Kings commissioners who compelled men to sacrifice he killed at that time and the altar he pulled downe Thus dealt he zealously for the law of God as Phineas did to Zambri the son of Salom. 1 Maccab. 1. Bad zeale spendeth it selfe either in Nemesis 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Zelotypia 1 revenge 2 rejoycing at others ruines or 3 in impetuous undertakings and pursuances not acording to knowledg Belonging to the first kind was that of Saul for rooting out the Gibeonites 2 Sam. 21.2 And those more then forty that had bound themselves under a curse
