haughty nor my eyes lofty nor do I exercise my self in great matters or in things too high for me surely I have behaved and guided my self as a child that is weaned of his mother my soul is even as a weaned child O what a happy condition was this man in that he could say his soul was like a weaned child Indeed my brethren I could wish that every poor soul in the world could say so but alas we are given too much to pride hatred malice and envy and séeking one to undo another by one means or other but alas that is quite contrary to that saying of James that I told you but now for he saith VVe must love one another And Isaiah saith VVo unto them that decree unrighteous decrees to turn aside the needy from judgment and to take away the right from the poor of my people that widows may be their prey and that they rob the fatherless I pray God there be not too many such in England now adays but I am afraid there be too many such abroad but I pray God give them grace to refrain it for Solomon saith Pr. 22. 16. he that oppresseth the poor for to increase his riches and he that giveth to the rich shall surely come to want and 22 23. verses of that chapter he says Rob not the poor because he is poor neither oppress the afflicted in the gates for the Lord will plead their cause and spoil the soul of those that spoil them Therefore in the Name of God I do desire that we may all have a care how we séek to wrong the widow and the fatherless or any poor distressed creature but rather strive to aid and assist them as the Lord hath enabled us if you have not whereby to relieve their wants then pray for them and by doing so thou mayst shew thy endeavour and so carry thy self blameless But alas Prayer is out of date with a great many but I must néeds tell such as those that if they refrain themselves from Prayer I may boldly say they do not truly offer repentance I desire you to look in the fifth Psalm and there you shall sée how David repents by prayer Give ear to my words O Lord consider my meditations hearken unto the voice of my cry my King and my God for unto thee will I pray my voice shall be heard in the morning O Lord in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee Psal 5. 1 2 3. Nay my brethren there are many more places in Scripture that doth exhort us unto prayer I and Christ himself did command his Apostles to pray as you may find it written in the 6. of Mat. 9. there he commands his Apostles to pray Our Father which art in heaven c. And this is a prayer which is despised by a great many But you may sée here that our Savior Iesus Christ loved and warned his Disciples to say it And therefore we ought to say it for I am sure that there is no Christian that liveth in the fear of God that will deny the Lords prayer or any other that are lawful and good and for such people as hold the Lords prayer or any other prayer as vain babling as some will say I desire such as they to look into Isa 38. and there you may sée whether prayer be good or no. In those days was Hezekiah sick to death and Isaiah the Prophet the son of Amos came unto him and said Thus saith the Lord set thy house in order for thou shalt die and not live Then Hezikiah turned his face toward the wall and prayed unto the Lord and said Remember now O Lord I beseech thee how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart and have done that which is good in thy sight Then Hezekiah wept sore But now I would desire you to consider the prevailing of his prayer for when the Lord saw and heard how faithfully he prayed he sent Isaiah to him again Then came the word of the Lord to Isaiah saying go and say to Hezekiah Thus saith the Lord the God of David thy father I have heard thy prayer and seen thy tears behold I will add unto thy time fifteen years I will deliver thee and this City out of the hand of the King of Assyria and I will defend this City as you may read it in Isaiah the 38. beginning at the first verse to the sixt Now I would desire those people that deny prayer to consider whether that prayer be good or no for here you may sée that the Prophet prevailed much with the Lord for first the Lord prolonged his life for 15. years nay more then that he defended the whole City from their enemies for his sake I pray God that every Christian would desire the Lord to give them so much grace as to pray to him to defend us and this City of London from the hands of all our enemies which no doubt but he will if we but pray with a true heart as the Prophet did And I desire to give you one word or two more and so to draw to a conclusion and that is this I charge you in the Name of God that when you pray to desire the Lord to bless and guide you from all such as would hinder you from prayer or from any good devotion I mean that you should not refrain neither Church nor good Sermons for to be sure you cannot hear too much of any good instruction And lastly I desire you to look into the 2 of Joel and 12. 13. ver and there you shall sée what comfortable spéeches the Lord himself gave to his people Therefore also now saith the Lord Turn you even to me with all your heart and with fasting and weeping and with mourning and rent your hearts and not your garments and turn to the Lord your God for he is a merciful and gracious God slow to anger and of great kindness Joel 2. 12 13. Indéed if we have not hearts of stone methinke it would move us to repent therefore in the name of God have a care to serve the Lord and that withall your heart and I wil so conclude with these few words that is I pray God give you all grace to make good use of what you have heard at this present and this little Book may be a warning-piece to you all for I will assure you here is nothing in it but what is good and with making good use of it it may be a great means to guide you into the way of salvation And so with the words of Paul an Apostle Not of men neither by men but by Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead and all the brethren that are with me Grace be to you and peace from God the Father and from our Lord Jesus Christ who gave himself for our sins that he might deliver us from this present evil world according to the will of God the Father and no doubt but he will if we will but do our endeavours to serve him which the Lord of his heavenly mercy give us all grace so to do and not with our lips outwardly but with all our hearts and with all our souls and with all our minds and all for the merits of thy Son our only Lord and Saviour Iesus Christ who shed his most precious blood for us and for all true believers to him and to none but him be given all honour praise and thanksgiving both now and for evermore And so the Grace of our Lord and Saviour be with us all the rest of our time henceforth and for evermore Amen Yours in Christ Jesus Tho. Robins A short Prayer very good to put every sinner in remembrance of our Lord Jesus Christ O Most gracious and most glorious and ever living Lord God thou that sittest on thy throne ready to give judgement to all sinners thou shewest thy self very slow to anger or else thou mightest utterly destroy us in the twinkling of an eye So seeing thou art so merciful to us vve thy poor servants dust and no men by reason of our carnal sins do desire thee out of thy tender mercy to give a blessing to us the rest of this day And grant O most gracious God to give us grace to make good use of what we have heard this day and grant O most glorious God that it may be so grafted in our hearts that it may be as good seed sown in good ground that it may increase abundantly to the glory of thy holy Name the good of every one of us to the joy and comfort of our poor souls And most gracious God we beg on thee for thy Son Jesus Christs sake to guide and keep us from the inticements of such seducing people which thy holy vvord gives us warning of such as seek night and day to rob thee of thy glory and honour and seek to beat down the Ministry and to trample the Gospel under their feet Yet O Lord vve know thou hast power either to convert them or to cut them off vvhen thy vvill and pleasure is and so O Lord we desire thee for thy Son our Saviours sake to go along with us this day and for evermore Amen THere are two other small Books worth the reading over One is intituled The goodness of God to all true Belivers in the Lord Jesus Christ the righteous our Advocate and only Mediator and Redeemer The other is Christ upon the Cross suffering for sinners or the sinners Redemption Sanctification and Exaltation by the death and bitter passion of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ And are to be sold by Sarah Tyus at the sign of the three Bibles on the middle of London Bridge FINIS

THE SINNERS Warning-piece OR Heavens Messenger Instructing poor sinners in the way of Repentance in these dangerous times with many good Instructions to every true Christian to take heed of seducing people meaning such as will call themselves Christ But if any body shall say unto you Lo here is Christ or lo there is Christ believe them not for false Christs and false Prophets shall arise and shall shew signs and wonders to seduce if it were possible the very Elect but take heed behold I have told you all things Mark 15. 21 22 23. By THO. ROBINS B. of D. Take heed therefore to your selves and to all the flock for I know this that after my departure shall grievous wolves enter in among you not sparing the flock Acts 20. 28 29. Printed for S. Tyus at the sign of the three Bibles on the middle of London-bridge THE Sinners Warning-piece OR Heavens Messenger By THO. ROBINS B. of D. Ezekiel 12. 1 2 3. ver The word of the Lord also came unto me saying Son of man thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house who have eyes to see and see not and have ears to hear and hear not for they are a rebellious house therefore thou Son of man prepare thou stuffe for removing and remove by day in their sight and thou shalt remove from this place to another in their sight it may be they may consider although they be a rebellious house MY Beloved Brethren I desire you all that be here present to take notice of these words that were sent from the LORD for the instruction of poor miserable sinners For you may assure your selves that it did not come forth of as the mouth of any false Prophet but they came from the mouth of the Lord as you may read in the former verse of the Text. And indeed my brethren we never stood in more need of good Messengers then we do at this time for certainly a more rebellious people never lived in the world then there is now a days I and in many kind of ways which I shall here lay open unto you In the first place we have seen here the Father rebel against the Son and the Son against the Father and the Mother against her Daughter and the Daughter against her Mother and one neighbour against another which you cannot say but it is a most miserable case to see I but here is a worse Rebellion then all this which is able to rent the heart of any Christian that fears God when I have related and here laid it open unto you therefore I desire all those that be here present to take notice and have a care of such people And in the first place I desire you to take notice of the words that our blessed Lord and Saviour speaks in the 24 ch of Matthew and the 4 ver and there you shall see whether there be not a greater rebellion among us then any that I have named For when the Disciples asked our Saviour How they should know when the end of the world should come Then our Saviour made them this answer Then Jesus answered and said unto them Take heed that no man deceive you for many shall come in my Name saying I am Christ and shall deceive many Mat. 24. 4 5. We may see a great many such people now adays and certainly there cannot be a greater rebellion against God then to seek to rob him of his power I pray look into the 20 chap. of Exodus at the beginning of that chapt and there you shall see the Lord said Thou shalt have no other Gods but me And we all know who have any understanding that Christ and God is all one Then how can any man say but it is a rebellious condition for any man to call him Christ but indeed I would desire every true Christian to have a care of such people But I pray you take notice I would not have you despise them for certainly they be the very same people that our Saviour said would come in the latter days Therefore I rather exhort you to pray for them For as the Apostle Paul said to the people in these words I exhort you brethren that first of all supplications prayers intercessions and giving of thanks be made for all men 1 Tim. chap. 2. ver 1. Indéed we do not know but the Lord may convert them For look in Jam. 5. 16. and there you shall sée that we should pray for one another For the Text there saith Confess your faults one to another and pray one for another that you may be healed The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man shall be heard Jam. 5. 16. But alas my Brethren Prayer is quite out of date with a great many now adays but you may hear in many places a great many that are given to swear and to curse and to lying and dissembling both with God and man if it were possible But I would have such as these to have a care for to be sure there is a day that every poor soul must give account for to be sure the Lord will not be mocked No no to be sure as he is a God of mercy and truth so he is a God of justice And when he doth come to be sure he will give every man according to his works But my Brethren I desire you to give me leave to mode one question to you and that is this In case the day of judgment was this day or this night and the Angels were sounding their Trumpets for all sinners to come unto judgment and the Lord of Hosts standing upon the judgment-seat with the sword of justice in his hand Then who is he that is able to stand in his presence I or look him in the face Nay then happy would that sinner be that were able to make answer for one sin of a thousand yet there be many now adays will say they have no sin but let such as they have a care what they do for to be sure they will find one day that they be as great sinners as any indéed you may read in many places of Scripture of many that were sinners but you shall read of few that were so righteous that they never sinned I desire you to look into Rom. 3. and there you may perceive that in those days all sinned What then are we better then they No in no wise for what we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles that they are all under sin as it is written There is none righteous no not one Nay look into the 8 chapter of the 1 book of Kings about the 46 verse and there you shall sée how Solomon prayed unto the Lord for sinners If they sin against thee for there is no man that sinneth not and if thou be angry with them and deliver them to their enemies so that they carry them away Captives into the Land of their Enemies Yet if they shall bethink themselves in
