By Tho. Robins, B. of D.	Robins, Thomas, fl. 1672-1685.	1650 (1650)	Wing R1660; ESTC R219700	8,510	27

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then pray for them and by doing so thou mayst shew thy endeavour and so carry thy self blameless But alas Prayer is out of date with a great many but I must néeds tell such as those that if they refrain themselves from Prayer I may boldly say they do not truly offer repentance I desire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
