Mortis Jmmortal Sueton. de vita Tiberii Si salvabor salvabor Si praedestinatus sum nulla peccata poterunt mihi regnum coelorū auferr● Si praescitus nulla opera mihi illud valebunt conferre Heisterbach l. 1. de memor Hist c. 27. VVe are instruments though not causes of our own salvation VVe bring nothing for it but something to it Nothing worth it but somthing with it Dr. Donne not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance saith S. Peter 2 Epist c. 3. v. 9. Both perishing here and perishing hereafter too may be prevented by repenting here in time Euripides brings in Hec●ba crying out amain 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Iam even dead with the very terrors of death● And many in these evil Times have even killed themselves with the feares of being killed But others are still running neerer unto Death and to Damnation ●oo and yet are further every day then other from thinking of either They think they shall not die as yet and therefore as yet they think not of preparing themselves for death by turning of themselves Yea many live as if they thought they should ever live and therefore never think of turning themselves that they might live for ever Tiberius thought that all things came by destiny and therefore neglected all endeavours to prevent or alter any thing And many are like Tiberius at least in deportments if not in judgments They do not endeavour to turn themselves to turn the times to save their lives either in this present world or that to come Yea some are ready to say as that Italian Ludovicus did If we shall be saved we shall be saved And as that Lantgrave of Thuring did which Heisterbachius writes of If we be elected no sinnes can keep us out of Heaven but if we be reprobate no sorrows can keep us out of Hell This is a most irreligious kind of reasoning This is not the way for men to work out their own salvation with feare and trembling This is not the way to perswade them to give all diligence to make their calling and election sure True it is that all that Man can do is but in vain unlesse that God bestows his blessing on it But all in vain it is for Man to expect a blessing from the hands of God unlesse that he will do what God expecteth at his hands for the procuring of it For God will not do all things all alone for them that will do nothing for themselves with him when he is doing for them When God is working in men and for them then they in him must needs be 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 workers together with God In vain it is for men to call to In vain do men call to Heaven for help when they withstand the help of Heaven Many do invoke it and yet do hinder it They require help from others and abandon themselves and by their deeds contrarying their words they shew not to have desired what they have intreated and to have intreated that they might not be heard Malvez Romul Tarq. translated by the Earl of Monmouth Heaven for help if they will not use the help of Heaven which they call for In vain it is for men to have any Talents of Grace if they wi●l not put them out to use And they that have them and will not improve them deserve to have them taken away from them By Nature indeed we are all dead in trespasses and sinnes and cannot help our selves But when God by the Spirit of Life hath helped us unto the Life of the Spirit then we like men of spirit must bestir our selves to use his help When God Dr. Love's Watchmans Watchword hath begun with us then we must go on with him when he is turning of us then we together with him must turn our selves And being turned we must live too Turn live An early endeavour is then to purpose when it is put on with an earnest endeavour to persevere But it were better to begin late and hold out unto the end then to begin betimes and be presently weary of well-doing There is a Penny Ma● 10. 22. Gal. 6. 9. promised to him that comes to labour in the Lords vineyard at the eleventh houre of the day But no Salary promised to him that ends his labour before the day of his life be ended We must go on then as well as begin It is Perseverance that crowns Repentance Turning it is that prepares the way of Living And Living it is that perfects the work of Turning Optima paenitentia nova vita Luther We must do the last as well as the first Indeed we can do neither well unlesse we do both But by doing both we may do well And that we may be sure to do so let us both turn and live Wherefore turn your selves and live ye F●NIS St. PAVL'S CONCRVCIFIXION Preached in two Sermons at Hoxne in the County of SUFFOLK By Edw.
