roul'd a mighty great stone against the Sepulchre door they hired watchmen to keep all fast and to be brief they thought they had made all things so sure that Christ his body should never be removed therehence in hast but by the great power of the Lord there came a Heavenly Angel to the door of the Sepulchre and rould away the stone which was laid to keep Christ in the Grave mean while the watchmen being sorely amazed at the sight of the Angel they ran away trembling with fear so Christ arose from the dead and the grav have no more power over him after that he appeared to his Disciple and to others several times to shew that he was recovered and that he had overcome death but Thomas one of his disciples would not believe that the Lord was risen from death til such time that he put his finger into the wound which the spear had pierced seen his hand which had been nayled to the Crosse wherefore our Saviour Christ came into the place bodily where Thomas was and shewed him the side which the Speare had pierced and the hands and feet of his which had bin nailed to the bloody tree which when Thomas had seen and felt he confessed and said unto Christ thou art my Lord my God but Jesus saith unto him Thomas Because thou hast seen me thou hast believed me Blessed are they that have not seen and have believed Johns Gospell 20 28. All this done to strengthen our beliefe and to shew us that as he himself is risen from the dead and ascended into heaven so can he also raise quicken us if we lay hold on him trust in him faithfully believe that he came into the world suffered all those things to be done for his love that he bore unto mankind to save out souls from perpetuall damnation God in his mercy give us grace to make good use of our times and so behave our selves whilst we remaine in this world that after this life is ended we may injoy everlasting happiness in the Kingdome of Heaven with God the Father through the mighty merits of Jesus Christ his only Son to whom with the Holy Ghost be ascribed all honour glory power praise might Majesty thanksgiving both in this world and in the world to come Amen The next matter is here to be exprest is instructions for youth which if youth will observe and follow they shall find it to be sweeter then the hony and the hony comb Psalm 19. Solomon the wise bids his Son delay no time but saith thus to all Remember thy Creator in the dayes of thy Youth as you may read Eccles 12 1. which sentence of his may very well agree with the proverb How that that which is bred in the bone will never out of the flesh so I say that he or she that will not serve God when they are young will hardly be brought to do God any good service when they are old wherefore I desire all sorts of youthfull people to have a speciall regard to what shall be spoken and withall to do their best endeavour to follow these instructions Ephesians 6 Children obey your Parents in the Lord Honour your Fathers and Mothers so shall your dayes be long and your lives happy The cause why so many youthful people now a days run head-long into desperate dangers and sudden mischiefs is this because they will not hearken unto the words of wise Solomon who saith thus My Son attend unto wisdome and how down thine eares to understanding Proverbs 5. Beloved these are precious words and worth the hearkning unto for He or She that hath understanding can never do amisse let the world run which way soever it will a wise man will be content with what Estate or condition soever he be in whether it be riches or poverty sicknes or health oppression or liberty right or wrong all 's one to a wise man for he putteth his trust in God who will surely deliver him out of all his troubles in due time according as David the Prophet saith in his Psallms Many and numberlesse are the Troubles of the Righteous but the Lord delivers them out of all againe A wise man is able to undergo and endure reproachfull words evill Actions Abusive Deeds Spightfull Neighbours Unkind Kindreds Ye and although it were so that the whole World should set themselves against him yet he is sure that they can do no more to him then God will give them leave to do for he hath learned such a faithfull lesson of his Master Christ Jesus that he can say with a safe conscience Blessed are they that are persecuted for righteousness sake as you may read Mat ●● 10. Besides a●● this wisdome hath a great many Vertues belonging unto her which have not yet been spoken of as it shall presently be made known to all that will give eare to what shall be exprest in this profitable discourse If any one desires to be rich let them repair unto Wisedome for without Wisedome there is no good to be done a wise wan is able to discern the good from the bad the just from the unjust the right from the wrong and he that findeth wisdom findeth life and shall obtaine favour of the Lord and how can a man be poor that hath those blessings bestowed upon him Proverbs 8 35. Furthermore a wise man will take heed of what company he comes into for a man cannot touch pitch but he must be defiled Good wine is chosen by the smell by the colour and by the taste so must you chuse your Companions by their Religions by Wisdome and by vertue doth not very days experience tell us How that they which goes commonly hannteth evil company are counted to be as bad as themselves And have we not heard nor known that at sometimes there have true men bin taken in thieves companies and all sent to Prison together Yea and some have lost their livs only by keeping of evill company It is an old saying that company is good whether it be to Heaven or to Hell but I say thus that one were better go to Heaven alone then to Hell with a multitude of Wicked People And better it is to be alone by ones self then to be in company with Ungodly people a man cannot lie amongst dogs but he must be bitten with fleas nor can any one haunt and be in evill company but he must be evill thought on and spoken of therefore I desire all people whether they be old or young to be wise and to flye from sin as they would flye from a biting Viper and also to flye from evill company as you would flye from the Divell And now to conclude I desire you all to observe and make good use of these instructions and to lead your lives in such a godly manner whilst you remain in this world so that after this life ended Christ may receive your souls into his heavenly Kingdome Where is Joy world without end FINIS
