it a shamefull thing to cast away themselues for nought Precious things and things that cost much are carefully kept Thinges that are gotten with much labour and sweate and bought with much money are most commonly much set by So should wee esteeme highlie of our selues beeing bought with so great a price and with an holy kinde of pride contemne and despise sinne * Meditat. cap. 3. This whole world saith Bernard is not to be esteemed in comparison of the price of one soule For Christ would not giue his life for the world and yet hee gaue it for mans soule Therefore the price of the soule is greater which could not be redeemd but by the blood of Christ * Noli ergo vilipender animae tuae passionem cui Ã tanta maiestate tantam vides exhiberi compassionem Heb. 12 16. Ge. 25 29 30. Do not therefore set light by the passion of thy soule whereon thou seest so great a maiesty hath had compassion The Apostle exhorteth Let there be no prophane person as Esau who for a portion of meate sold his birth-right But all vngodly sinners are farre worse then Esau for he was faint and weary and almost dead for want of food therfore sold it to saue his life But these wretched persons doe sweare away their soules drinke and whore away their soules and basely sell theÌ„selues to the deuill to satisfie their owne beastly lusts Secondly it serueth to teach them that in token of their thankfulnesse they must willingly serue Iesus christ The name of seruants as S. Augustine saith * Seruorum nomen proprie Ã seruari quod eos domine victores seruauere quos iure belli occidere sas illis â—urt de Ciuit. dei lib. 19. c. 15 properly cometh of being saued because they that were conquerors in the wars did saue them whom by the law of armes they might haue slaine But it is also applied to them that being taken prisoners were ransomed and so set free * Nomen admonet beneficij officii The name putteth vs in mind of the benefite we haue receiued of the duty that we owe. You are bought with a price sayeth the Apostle therfore glorifie God in your body 1 Cor. 6 20. and in your spirit for they are Gods And this vse doth Zacharias make of it in his song when he saieth Wee are deliuered out of the hands of our enemies that we should serue him without feare in holines and righteousnesse all the daies of our life He hath Saued vs wee must Serue him And this we must do not only in the generall duties of Christianity but also in the seuerall places and callings wherein the Lorde hath set vs. The Magistrate must serue God in his place as Dauid exhorted Salomon 1 Chron. 28 9 wheÌ„ he was to succeed him in the kingdom And thou Salomon my son know thou the God of thy Father and serue him with a perfect heart and a willing minde So must euery Magistrate serue the Lord in labouring to promote and aduance his seruice in looking carefully to the obseruation of the Sabbath and in punishing all dishonour that is done to his Name So likewise Ministers must serue the Lord in their places by faithfull and diligent preaching of the word in season 2 Timoth. 4 2 and out of season And euery priuate man must also serue God in the conscionable performance of those duties that appertaine vnto him And indeed it is the greatest glory of all meÌ„ though they bee neuer so highly aduanced in the world to be the seruants of God Dauid though hee were a King yet he glorieth more in this that he was the seruant of God then in all the titles that belonged to his crown Behold Lord saith he I am thy seruaÌ„t Psalm 116 16 I am thy seruant and the sonne of thine handmaid c. And at the least twelue seuerall times in the 119. Psalme hee calleth himselfe the seruant of God And the blessed Virgin though shee were preferred before all other women to be the mother of the Sonne of God yet shee boasteth not of anie such title but stileth her selfe the seruant of God Behold saith she Luke 1 38. to the Angel that brought her that heauenly tidings the seruant of the Lord be it vnto me according to thy word And againe in her song she saith and 48. Hee hath looked on the poore estate of his seruant And all the holy Apostles thogh they were aduanced to the most honorable calling that euer was in the church yet in all their Epistles they call theÌ„selues the seruants of Iesus Christ And no maruel for the seruice of God is perfect freedome yea to serue him is to reign as a king Apoc. 1 ver 6 For our blessed Sauior hath made vs Kings priests vnto God his father Onely we must take heede that wee content not our selues with the outward name and bare Title onely but labour to bee the seruants of God indeede and to approue our selues to be so by performing acceptable seruice and obedience vnto his will as the Prophet Malachi saith Malachi 1 6. A sonne honoreth his father a seruant his Master If then I bee a Father where is mine honor And if I be a master where is my feare saith the Lord of hostes Thirdly and last of all it serueth for our imitation that we by the example of our Sauiour Christ should to the vttermost of our power deliuer them that are in captiuity Diuers is the captiuity of men according to the diuers calamities whereunto they are subiect The poore man is a captiue to want and penury hee that is rich 1 Iohn 3 17. hath the worlds good as the Apostle saith must be his redeemer by releeuing of him A man that is sicke is a captiue to his disease he that is able any way to helpe him must seeke to redeeme him by what meanes hee can And he that is not able to redeem the body if he comfort the mind that is afflicted he playeth the part of a redeemer He that liueth in errour and blindnes is a bondslaue to satan as he also that serueth sin whosoeuer relieueth this man with the worde of doctrine and admonition is his redeemer According to that speech of the Apostle What knowest thou Ã´ wife 1 Cor. 7 6. whether thou shalt saue thy husband or what knowest thou Ã´ man whether thou shalt saue thy wife And S. Iames saith to the same purpose Iames 5 20. Hee that hath conuerted a sinner from going astray out of his way shall saue a soule from death In these such like things let vs follow our Sauiour Christ and euery man labor to deliuer another out of bondage And he that is endued with any faculty let him imploy the same 2 Cor. 12 15. yea let him bee willing to bestow himselfe as the Apostle saith to doe seruice to his brethren

THE PRICE OF OVR REDEMPTION â§ A Sermon Preached at Paules Crosse the sixt of Aprill last 1617. By CHARLES RICHARDSON Preacher at Saint Katherines neere the Tower of London 1. Peter 1.18.19 We were not redeemed with corruptible things as siluer and Gold c. But with the precious blood of Christ as of a Lambe vndefiled and without spot Printed at London by W. Iaggard for W. Butler and are to be solde at his shop in the Bulwarke neere the Tower of London 1617. To the Right Honourable Sir Iohn Lemmon Knight Lord Major of the Citty of London And To the Right Worshipfull the Sheriffes and Aldermen of the same Grace and Peace be multiplyed Right Honourable Right Worshipfull AS this Sermon was Preached in your hearing and allowed by your approbation so now the Doctrine of it being so generally necessary I haue thought good to send it forth into the world that whereas while it was deliuered by voice it could extend but to a few now being committed to the Presse it might be communicated to many I confesse the maner of handling it is plaine homely without any Rhetoricall Ornaments or eloquent stile For I euer desired rather to speake to the edification of my hearers then by vain-glorious ostentation to seeke any applause to my selfe But I doubt not but the matter is sound and wholesome and therefore will be acceptable to all good Christians that loue rather to haue their hungry soules fed with the substantiall food of Gods word 2 Timoth. 4 3 1 Cor. 2.4 then their itching ears tickled with the intising speech of mans wisedome Now the reasons that haue moued me to publish it in your Honors and Worships names are diuers First and principally because by your fauourable kindnes thogh being no free-man among you I am admitted to be Tenant to this Honourable City and so by your meanes next vnder God do enioy a comfortable habitation to the future benefite of me and mine In regard whereof I haue thought my selfe bound to leaue some testimony to after times of your singular loue to men of my profession and some pledge and token of my thankefull affection Besides I acknowledge I haue receiued much kindnes from many of you in particular which I would be loath should be buried in forgetfulnesse And howsoeuer this gift be in it self poore and base not woorthy any way of your acceptance yet seeing it is the best which my meane condition can afford I hope you will receiue it as willingly as I tender it sincerely measuring rather the affection of the giuer then the worth of the gift I pray God blesse your Honor worshippes all and inflame your hearts with a true zeale of his glory 1 King 19 14 that with holy Elias you may bee iealous for the Lord God of hosts in those high places wherin the Lord hath set you that all the workers of iniquity especially the prophaners of the Sabbath being by the sword of Iustice cut off from this famous City Psalme 101 8. God may still continue his blessings vpon it so as there may neuer be inuasion Psal 144 14. nor leading into captiuity nor crying in our streetes Psalme 122 7. but that still peace may bee within our wals and prosperity within our Palaces but chiefly that his glorious Gospell the meanes of our saluation may remain to vs to our posterity euen to the end of the world Amen Your Honors and Worships in all Christian affection Charles Richardson THE PRICE OF OVR REDEMPTION Mat. 20.28 Euen as the Sonne of man came not to be ministred vnto but to minister and to giue his life a ransome for many AT the twentith verse of this Chapter the Euangelist telleth vs that the two sonnes of Zebedeus came with their Mother to our Sauiour Christ requesting this fauour of him That the one of them might sit at his right hand and the other at his left hand in his kingdom Our Sauiour had fore-told them a little before Ver. 18 19. that his death was now at hand and that he should rise againe the third day Whereupon they by and by thought that presently after his resurrection hee would begin his kingdome in the earth which they imagined as the rest of the Iewes did should be a temporall Kingdom like the kingdomes of this worlde Our Sauiour had also promised all the twelue that when he should sit in the Throne of his Maiesty Math. 19 28. they should sit also vpon twelue thrones and iudge the 12 Tribes of Israel And therefore these two Disciples being still carnally affected make this request that they may haue the chiefe places of command and authority next vnto himselfe For they saw that our Sauiour respected them aboue the rest and that he vsed them more familiarly theÌ„ their fellowes Onely they were afraide lest Peter should bee preferred before them For they saw that our Sauiour graced him also that when any special worke was to be wroght hee was admitted to bee present at it as well as they As when he was transfigured on the Mountaine he tooke Peter Math. 17 12. and Iames and Iohn vp with him and left the rest of his Disciples below And when hee raised vppe Iairus his daughter Marke 5 37. hee suffered no man to follow him saue Peter and Iames Iohn Besides they had heard our Sauior make a promise vnto Peter though if they vnderstood it aright it was made to them all as well as to him That hee would giue vnto him the keyes of the kingdome of heauen c. And therefore Math. 16 19. they labour here to preuent him that he may not be aduanced aboue them Now it is worth the noting that they do not moue their suite in their owne personnes but set their Mother on worke to bee a Mediator for them which they did it may bee because they were bashfull and as it is with many men in this case were loath to say their owne errand but chiefely because they hoped that by this meanes their suit would be the better accepted For they knew she was very gracious with our Sauiour being one of those women which followed him from Galile Mat. 27 55 56 and ministred vnto him And therefore they hoped that if shee should moue their request he would not giue it the repulse Verse 22 23. Well our Sauiour notwithstanding vtterly denieth and reiecteth their suite and thereupon there is kindled a new flame among the Disciples For it is said that the other ten disdained the two Brethren Ver. 24. not because they detested their fact as carnall but because they also were carried with ambition and gaped after the same preferment and desired to bee eminent in the Kingdome of Christ and therefore they thought it would bee an iniury to all the rest if the cheefe rule and gouernment should be conferred vpon a few So that as the two brethren offended with
