What the true tryall and examination of a Man 's owne selfe is and how generallie necessarie to all manner of persons hauing care and desire of their saluation BRieflie in deed and in very fewe wordes is it said by the Apostle Let a man examine himselfe but in that breuitie and in those fewe wordes hee effectuailie comprehendeth the whole office and duetie of euerie such an one as doth earnestly desire to be reconciled and to be at one with God yea therein hee summarilie setteth downe and compendiouslie prescribeth all and whatsoeuer is needefull or expedient for ech true Christian to doe performe For to examine a mans owne selfe is nothing else than for him throughly to trie narrowly to searche and diligently to proue who and what maner of person he is in what case he inwardly feeleth his owne conscience To the same effect purpose and meaning doth the Apostle in an other place say Let euerie man prooue his owne works And again Proue your selues whether ye be in the faith examine your selues He therefore is to bee vnderstoode rightly duely and truely to examine himselfe which diligently and carefully searcheth out tryeth groapeth inwardly rippeth vp euery corner of his conscience and so narrowly fifteth both his workes actions and faith that he leaueth nothing in his whole man either outwardly or inwardly whereof he maketh not a true and perfect presentment vnto his Conscience and as it were strictly enditeth and iudicially arraigneth at the Barre as before a most seuere Iudge And looke how necessary it is for euery one that hath sinned and by sinning disfranchised and banished himselfe from the kingdome of heauen to bende his whole care and studie howe to come into fauour againe with God king of the same heauenly kingdome so necessary is it that before hee goe about the same he diligently trie and examine himselfe For no man can rightly acknowledge his sins no man can truely confesse his faith no man can duely vse the Sacramentes that doth not first carefully trie and examine his owne Conscience Furthermore in vaine doth a man either heare reade or learne any good lessons touching sounde doctrine and pure religion in vaine doth hee labour by studie to attaine the knowledge of matters diuine and heauenly vnlesse he haue withall a full and resolute purpose to applie the same vnto the tryall examination of himselfe So greatly doth it stand vs vpon to make this tryall of our selues and so greatly materiall is it for vs diligently to exercise our selues therein as in the which the whole summe and effect of our saluation consisteth And doubtles vnlesse we speedily while we haue time trie and examine our selues and by earnest hearty repentance turne vnto the Lord it is to be feared least God being angrie with vs doe for our hardnesse of heart harden vs more and more as hee hardened Pharao least for our wilfull blindnes he blindfolde vs altogether least for our wicked filthie licentious and reprobatelike life hee turne vs vp and giue vs ouer vnto a reprobate minde and least in his heauie displeasure he deliuer vs vp vnto our owne vile affections lawlesse lustes to wallow still in the filthie mier of our abhominations filthie deuises neuer to bee able so much as once to thinke of our saluation or once to raise vp our cogitations toward heauenly things Than which euil and mischiefe what can be more grieuous more hainous or lamentable in this miserable and wretched life of ours Let therefore euerie one speedily while he hath time frame himselfe to make this triall that he may be receiued of God into fauour againe Let vs now at length awake out of this our deepe letharge and sleepe of sinne let vs once renounce defie and cast away the works of darkenesse that we may walke comely and honestlie as in the day garnished and apparailed with the workes of light as liuely members of Christs Church in the holie fellowshippe of faithfull beleeuers Nowe in what sort and manner this Tryall and examination of our selues is to be made and performed how and which way we may come into fauour again with God how also after our reconciliation we must demeane and bel●aue our selues and how we ought to frame our liues and conuersation that we may alwaies haue a
