First of the dutie Reprooue This word in the originall is more significant than can be fitly expressed in one English word and therefore in diuers places of holy Scripture it 's diuersly translated yet all tending to the same effect Commonly in this sence to reprooue as here and else-where and thus it is taken either actiuely or passiuely Actiuely as here and 2 Tim. 4. 2. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 reprooue Passiuely as Iohn 3. 20. He that doth euill commeth not to the light 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 lest his deedes should bee reprooued Sometimes it is translated to rebuke which is somewhat different from the former as may appeare by Pauls words distinguishing them 2 Tim. 4. 2. Reprooue Rebuke c. thus it is 1 Tim. 5. 20. Them that sinne 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 rebuke before all and many other places But most properly the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 signifies to conuince and thus it is often vsed as 1 Cor. 14. 24. If all prophecie and there come in one that beleeueth not or one vnlearned 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 he is conuinced of all So it is taken passiuely so Tit. 1. 9. A Bishop must be able to exhort by wholesome and sound doctrine 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and to conuince the gainesaiers So I am 2. 9. If ye haue respect to persons yee commit sinne 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 c. being conuinced of the law as transgressors So Epist Iude and 15. Verse Christ commeth with ten thousands of his Saints to execute iudgement vpon all 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 c. to conuince all that are vngodly thus it is taken actiuely All which significations laid together the sence is this Conuince them in their consciences of the fore-named sinnes as fornication all vncleannesse couetousnesse filthinesse foolish talking iesting vnseemely idolatry and the like Conuince them I say that they are altogether euill vile abhominable vnfruitfull and without repentance damnable and therefore to be auoided and so thinke it not sufficient that you auoid them in your selues but they being so conuicted proceed to reprooue and rebuke them and as occasion shall serue correct them labouring by al meanes to bring them out of those sinnes and not suffer them to perish in their sinnes And this for the meaning Hence I obserue in the Obser 1. first place that it is the dutie of euery Christian in generall and each one in particular to reprooue the sinnes and vices of these times which wee shall see to bee in others as well as to auoide them in our selues This is that Christian zeale that ought to be in euery one not to endure euill not to suffer sinne to rest vpon our brethren So zealous ought wee to be for Gods glory and so louing vnto our brethren as by Christian reproofe to stop the course of sinne Wee are redeemed by Christ from all iniquitie to be a peculiar people zealous of good workes Tit. 2. 14. Now one maine good worke is Christian reproofe This is strictly enjoyned by God himselfe saying Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour and not suffer sinne vpon him Leuit. 19. 17. Whence we may gather That as not reproouing is a signe of hatred of our brother so reproouing is a meanes to make men leaue their sinnes It is cruelty vnto men and vnkindenesse towards God not to reprooue sinne cruelty to men because wee knowing and seeing it yet suffer them to perish and will not hold them backe so much as we can when we see them straying to their owne destruction Vnkindenesse towards God because wee seeke not Gods glory in the good of our brethren wee shew no dislike of their sins we are not grieued with Lot at their wicked conuersations We are but disloyall and vnfaithfull subiects to our heauenly King when we suffer any to speake euill of him or doe euill against him and yet wee will neuer set our selues against them Wee are but vnkinde and dishonest children who will heare so good a Father so wronged and we not to seeke to maintaine his glory yea it is a despising of Gods Maiestie when wee rebuke not mens vices Vse 1 This especially concerne Ministers to be diligent and painefull in Preaching the Word giuing the people warning and reproouing their vices This hath beene the vsuall practise of all the Prophets and Apostles and our Sauiour himselfe Many Ministers are fouly faulty it this who sow Pillowes vnde●mens elbowes singing altogether mercy and not iudgement speaking pleasing things and either for fauour feare or affection neither will nor dare reprooue their peoples sinnes or if they doe it is partially reproouing some not other-some for feare of ill-will discontent and displeasure thus fearing men more then God so they may please men care not how God is dishonoured But let all Ministers take vp the counsell of God by the Prophet Cry aloude spare not lift vp thy voice like a Trumpet and shew my people their transgressions and the house of Iacob their sinnes Esay 58. 1. Let vs take heede to that charge which Saint Paul giueth vs to discharge I charge thee before God and the Lord Iesus Christ c. Preach the word bee instant in season and out of season reprooue rebuke exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine 2 Tim. 4. 1. 2. For all Scripture is profitable for doctrine for reproofe for correction for instruction in righteousnesse that the man of God may be perfect throughly furnished to all good workes 2 Tim. 3. 16. 17. Vse 2 Secondly this concernes Magistrates as Ministers by the word so they by the Sword must reprooue sinne They must punish sinne and vice and seeke a reformation in the Common-wealth A Ruler must be a terrour to euill workes Hee must not beare the Sword in vaine for hee is the Minister of God a reuenger to execute wrath vpon him that doth euill Rom. 13. 3. 4. And for this cause Magistrates must take heede of partiality bribes receiuing of gifts respecting of persons and the like which doe greatly hinder the execution of iustice especially when they are to sit in the seate of Iudgement yea these make them to bee so farre from reproouing and punishing of malefactors as that rather they doe harden them in their wickednesse and incourage them to doe euill and they themselues become accessary to the sinnes of malefactors Let Magistrates therefore hearken diligently vnto that good counsell of that good King Iehoshaphat and the more regard it because spoken by a King to the Iudges Take heed what ye doe for ye iudge not for man but for the Lord who is with you in the iudgement Wherefore now let the feare of God be vpon you take heed and doe it for there is no iniquitie with the Lord our God nor respect of persons nor taking of gifts 2 Chron. 19. 6. 7. Thou shalt not wrest iudgement thou shalt not respect persons neither take a gift for a

them Ephes 2. 10. where wee see good workes are the Causey-way not the cause why wee goe to heauen Ninthly wee must walke humbly This humility must be both outward and inward outward in gesture speech countenance behauiour in word in deed in ward in the heart and minde The outward may bee in wicked men and hypocrites as in Ahab but the inward onely in the godly Againe this humilitie must bee both in regard of God and of men In regard of God as humiliation for sinne whereby we denying our selues and stripping our selues of all conceit of our owne worthinesse and of Gods vndeserued goodnesse doe ascribe all to God to whom it belongs Psal 115. 1. In regard of men when wee preferre our brethren before our selues submitting our selues vnto them and esteeming our selues worse than others I therefore the prisoner of the Lord beseech you that ye walke worthy of the vocation wherewith yee are called with all lowlinesse and meekenesse with long suffering forbearing one another in loue Ephes 4. 1. 2. He hath shewed thee O man what is good and what doth the Lord require of thee but to doe iustly and to loue mercy and to walke humbly with thy God Micah 6. 8. Tenthly wee must walke reformedly Our life must bee a space of repentance Reuel 2. 21. Wee must be renewed daily and become new creatures dying vnto sinne and liuing vnto righteousnesse and being dead vnto sinne not to liue any longer therein Therefore we are buried with Christ by Baptisme into his death that like as Christ was raised vp from the dead by the glory of the Father euen so wee also should walke in newnesse of life Rom. 6. 2. 4. If any man be in Christ he is a new Creature 2 Cor. 5. 17. For in Christ Iesus neither circumcision auaileth any thing nor vncircumcision but a new creature And as many as walke according to this rule peace be on them and mercy and vpon the Israell of God Gal. 6. 15. 16. Lastly wee must walke conformably conforming our selues and framing our liues according to the example of Christ and of the godly who haue left vs an example that wee should follow their steps 1. Pet. 2. 21. Bee followers of mee and walke so as yee haue vs for an example Philip. 3. 17. an example in holy vertues not else Wee must imitate Christ not as God in his miracles as walking vpon the waters and the like nor as mediatour of God and man as in the worke of redemption c. but as man in his morals in obedience humilitie loue patience meekenesse contempt of the world and the like As ye haue receiued the Lord Iesus so walke in him rooted and built vp in him c. Colos 2. 6. 7. Hee that saith he abideth in him ought so to walke as hee hath walked 1 Iohn 2. 6. Thus for Exhortation Dehortations THere are but two waies to walke in the narrow way and the broad way the one leading to life and happinesse and few there bee that finde it the other leading to destruction and vtter darkenesse and many there be that goe in thereat wee mnst striue to enter in at the straight gate that is our principall care aboue all things must be to come into the way of life euerlasting and all worldly care must come vnder this so much the word Striue imports Luke 13. 24. compared with Matth. 7. 13. for the Kingdome of heauen suffereth violence and the violent take it by force Math. 11. 12. that is there is such a forwardnesse eagernesse and zeale in Gods children that they striue most earnestly to get heauen striuing who shall be most forward endeauouring earnestly in the vse of all good meanes which may bring them thither Dauid professeth his heart brake in sunder for the longing desire that it had alwaies to Gods iudgements Psal 119. 20. His practise must be our patterne for our principall care must be to attaine eternall life And for this cause as carefull must we be to shunne and auoid the broad way wherein wee run headlong to our owne destruction Wee cannot walke in both Wee cannot serue God and Mammon Let me therefore dehort all from following the multitude for the most goe to hell For as Paul saith many walke of whom haue told you often and now tell you euen weeping that they are enemies of the crosse of Christ whose end is destruction whose God is their belly whose glory is in their shame who minde earthly things Philippians 3. 18. 19. yea a man may be deceiued in his owne conceit For the way of a foole is right in his owne eyes Prou. 12. 15. There is away that seemeth right vnto a man but the end thereof are the waies of death Prou. 14. 12. Ephes 4. 17. 18. 19. This I say therefore and testifie in the Lord that ye henceforth walke not as other Gentiles walke in the vanity of their minde hauing their vnderstanding darkened being ahenated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them because of the blindenesse of their heart who being past feeling haue giuen themselues ouer vnto lasciuiousnesse to worke all vncleannesse with greedinesse But ye haue not so learned Christ Prouerb 1. 10. to 16. My Sonne if sinners entise thee consent thou not If they say Come with vs let vs lay waite for bloud let vs lurke priuily for the innocent without cause Let vs swallow them vp aliue as the graue c. Wee shall finde all precious substance we shall fill our houses with spoile Cast in thy Lot among vs let vs haue all one purse My Sonne walke not thou in the way with them refraine thy foote from their path for their feete runne to euill c. Prou. 4. 14. 15. 19. 27. Enter not into the path of the wicked and goe not in the way of euill men Auoid it passe not by it turne from it and passe away For they sleepe not except they haue done mischiefe and their sleepe is taken away vnlesse they cause some to fall The way of the wicked is as darknesse they know not at what they stumble Remooue thy foote from euill Prou. 15. 9. Psal 1. 1. 6. Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsell of the vngodly nor standeth in the way of sinners nor sitteth in the seate of the scornefull For the way of the vngodly shall perish The way of the wicked is abhomination to the Lord. 2 Thes 3. 6. Psal 36. 4. Now wee command you brethren in the name of our Lord Iesus Christ that yee withdraw your selues from euery brother that walketh diserderly 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that is without order against the lawes of God men idlely dishonestly dissolutely loosely not labouring in their calling but giuen to sloath other vices with such haue no familiaritie They set themselues in no good way Iob 21. 14. Psal 68. 21. The wicked say vnto God Depart from vs wee desire not the knowledge of thy waies But
