To him which is the true Messias promised from the beginning To him which is the true Paschal Lamb that was slaine from the beginning To him which is the Lambe of God that taketh away the sinnes of the world To him which is a king which hath the soueraintie of heauen and earth To him which is a priest and that for euer after the order of Melchisedech to him which is a prophet and which spake in and by all the prophets To him which is a king to rule vs a Priest to pray for vs and a prophet to instruct vs. To him which is a King and ruleth his church with his Septrum regni the Scepter of thy kingdome is a right Scepter To him which is a Priest which euer liueth and maketh intercession for vs. To him which is a prophet far excelleth all the Prophets of Iuda To Dauids teacher and Dauids Lord which is the teacher instructer of his elect Teach me O Lord. And this Doctrine brancheth it selfe into two parts 1 By whome God teacheth 2 By what meanes he teacheth God teacheth by himself immediatly in his own essence and nature 1 God himselfe taught our parents both law Gospell Gen. 2. thou shalt not eate of the tree that is in the middest of the garden for in whatsoeuer houre thou eatest thereof thou shalt die the death God taught our Parents the Gospell also Genesi 3 the seede of the woman shall breake the Serpents head Againe God teacheth vs by his written lawes Exodus 20. God spake all these words and said I am the Lord thy God thou shalt haue no other Gods but mee And this law he expounded by the mouth of his Prophets in the succedent ages of world in the daies of the Kings of Iuda and Israel 2 Secondly God teacheth vs by his Sonne or God the Sonne teacheth vs. Heb. 1. God which in times past did diuerslie and many waies speake vnto the fathers by Prophets hath in these last daies spoken vnto vs by his owne Sonne and Math. 9. 35. Iesus went about teaching in their Synagogues and preaching the Gspell of the kingdome and healing euerie sicknesse and euery disease among the people And Mathew 11. 1. And it came to passe that when Iesus had made an end of commanding his twelue Disciples he departed thence to teach and to preach in their Cities Thus God the Son teacheth vs. Teach me O Lord. 3. Thirdly God the holy Ghost teacheth vs so Iohn 14. 26. When the Comforter is come which is the holy Ghost he shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance whatsoeuer I haue told you Thus the holy Ghost also teacheth vs which sheweth vnto vs. The dignitie and excellency of the office of preaching the Gospell It is called euangelium regni and ceptrum regni the Gospell ot the kingdome the Scepter of the kingdome the Scepter of the kingdome is a right Scepter there 's the power and dignitie of the Gospell What neede I stand to shew how the worthies of the world haue graced this calling of preaching the Gospel Dauid King of Israel chose to be stiled a prophet Salomon the wise commonly called a preacher Nay our Sauiour Christ himself heauens only Phoenix and earthes great Satrapasse he which hath the soueraignty both of heauen and earth did vndertake this magnum opus this great office and worke of preaching the Gospell Secondly the necessity of teaching and preaching is heere commended vnto vs Teach me O Lord for if this had not beene verie needfull why would Christ himselfe take vpon him this weightie and painefull office So necessarie as nothing is more necessarie then hoc vnum this one thing Martha Martha saith our Sauiour Christ thou art carefull about many things verily one thing is needfull Mary hath chosen the best part which shall not bee taken from her If such then be the dignitie and necessitie of this office of teaching preaching the Gospel why are yet the ministers therof so contemned despised why are they so traduced and slandered why is the dignitie of the church so indignified disgraced the orders and constitutions depraued violated her liuings and maintenance so cut and mangled That Prophecie of Esay concerning the Church is now come to passe And the Daughter of Sion shall bee left like a cottage in a Vineyard like a lodge in a garden of cucumbers like a besieged Citie This poore daughter the church is left indeed bare enough now without dowrie without gifts without golde she is robbed of all these As Iacob said Me haue yee robbed of my Children Ioseph is away and Simeon is away wil ye take Beniamin also al those things are against me so may the Church say Me haue ye robbed my maintenance is away my props and pillars decay our greene pastures and rich medowes are drowned by sacriledge all these things are against me ye haue robbed me As the Israelites sometimes robbed the Aegyptians they borrowed Iewels of siluer and Iewels of gold but they neuer meant to pay them againe they robbed the Aegyptians so is the church robbed cousened of her maintenance they haue borrowed

stil to continue in these sinnes of pride couetousnesse whoredome and drunkennesse These are peccata clamantia and vastantia conscientiam These are crying sinnes heynous sinnes and a man knoweth not where to appeare before him when God shall summon him by death to appeare before him so that to sinne is of weakenesse but to continue and perseuer in sinne this is not onelie a sinfull life but a life of sinne it selfe If therefore wee will not learne by his word nor by his blessings he will teach vs by his afflictions and plagues He will cause his Angell to strike yet more then seauenty thousand of the plague and pestilence as he hath done alreadie in this Citie Nay hee will stretch ouer Ierusalem the line of Samaria the plummet of the house of Ahab he will wipe Ierusalem as a man wipeth a dish and turneth it vpside downe hee will forsake the remnant of his inheritance because wee haue done euill in his sight and prouoked him to anger because wee haue forsaken the Lord our God that hath so louingly taught vs by his word and blessing and yet wee will receiue no instruction but stil continue a sinful people a people ladē with iniquitie a seed of the wicked corrupt children which haue forsaken the Lord and prouoked the holy one of Israell to anger these are the meanes wherby God teacheth vs. Neither hath hee taught vs onlie by this late sicknesse of plague and mortalitie for this is the easiest punishment And Dauid chose this to fal in the hand of God but also by these late inundations of raine water wherby he seemeth so angrie with the world that were it not for his promise hee would vtterlie drowne it again such is the wickednesse of men and the thoughts of their hearts inclining to euil that it euen repenteth God that hee made man Gen. 6. And though hee hath made him yet he will destroy him again with waters Neither doth he send this plague of raine and waters at such time of the yeare when it should refresh and comfort the drie earth and do good vnto men but euen in the time of Haruest when we should reape and receiue the fruits of the earth Whereby as wee haue made frustrate his expectation of receiuing fruits at our hands of his word so hath hee made frustrate our expectation of receiuing the fruites of the earth whereby I say hee seemeth so more then much mooued with our sinnes that hee threatneth by these raines and waters that which is farre worse then a plague euen a famine the most greeuous punishment of all punishments When as ten acars of vines shall giue but a quart and thirtie bushels of seed shall giue but an Epha that he should breake the staffe of bread in Ierusalem and that wee should eate bread by weight and drinke water with astonishment That we should haue cleannesse of teeth in all our Cities and scarsnesse of bread in all our Coasts For so did the Lord when he would destroy Ierusalem stretch out his own hand against it by a famin to ouerthrow it when the father did catch meat from the Son the sonne from the Father the mother from her childe the childe from the mother the husband from the wife the wife from the husband and their Children died holding bread betweene their teeth Our sinnes I say haue deserued these plagues this horrible intollerable plague of famin The sicknesse of plague and pestilence is a great and greeuous punishment when we are suddenly strucken that our friends forsake vs and are oftentimes suddenlie called away before repentance The sword of our enemies is a greater punishment when we should flie before our enemies they pursuing vs with swords in their hands to sacrifice vs when in vaine we should cry out to our mercilesse murderers to saue our liues the liues of our wiues and children when there is no iot of mercie or compassion in them but drawe out their swords and sheath them in our bodies the bodies of our Sonnes and of our Daughters but the rod of famine doth farre exceed all these and passeth the degree of admiration Letvs therefore by our timely repentance preuent these plagues and leaue when God teacheth vs by these plagues and punishments to walke in his waies And thus wee haue heard by what meanes God teacheth vs by his word by his blessings and by his afflictions and also who is our teacher euen the Lord God himselfe God the Father God the sonne and God the holy Ghost which spake by the mouth of all his prophets since the world began Teach mee O Lord. I have told you of some teachers yet I haue not shewed you all I haue shewed you Dauids teacher who it is the Lord God is the elects teacher This is the best teacher and it shall be very necessarie for vs to know the worst teacher also that wee may auoide his schoole and take heede of his Doctrine As therefore God teacheth the Elect his schollers so the deuill that olde serpent and sathan teacheth the wicked his schollers most subtilly and cunningly to beguile and deceiue them And his teaching he did begin betimes euen with our parents in Paradice in the beginning anon after God had begun to teach our parents the law the deuil he snatched away that doctrin out of their hearts and insteed thereof taught them another pernitious lesson and doctrine to their owne woe and miserie and ruine of themselues and their whole issue And like a most cunning teacher that hee might vnderstand the minde and disposition of his scholler how shee stood affected to apprehend his Doctrine hee subtillie mooued a question yea hath God said yee shall not eate of euerie tree in the Garden by moouing of which question he had a wonderfull aduantage aud had laied a snare to entrap her howsoeuer for if he found her affection but lame and halting in the Commandement of God not absolutely and resolutely affected thereunto then hee was readie by his suggestion and instinct to make her giue as much credit to a coūtercōmand Ye shall not die at all and thereunto added pleasing obiects the beauty of the Apple and that they should be Gods and know good and euill Thus the Deuill teacheth cunningly subtilly and powerfully he is an ancient teacher of long standing therfore he teacheth cūningly He is a Serpēt there 's his subtiltie he is a Dragon there 's his crueltie Hee is a Lyon there 's his power he is a Prince Ephes. 2. There 's his potencie The Prince that ruleth in the Aire and that worketh in the Children of disobedience He is a cunning Rhetorician he hath artemad vnguem oratory at his fingers end to perswade He is a cunning Arithmetician he can number our vertues thirteene for twelue and thereby puffe vs vp in pride and ambition So he did the Pharisie I am not as other men are extortioners vniust or as this Publican I

he should enter into the hauen of rest make ship-wracke of faith and a good conscience Hence are all Apostates to be reprooued that decay in grace and through the pleasures and treasures of the world fall to relapse from a Christian life that Christ and his Gospell hath no power or place in them at all I doe not speake of the Iewish Apostasie which is absolutely to deny Christ the Sonne of God and Sauiour of the world but of an Apostasie of Christians that in the beginning put on Christ in baptisme and vtterly disclaim and renounce a Christian life afterwards or while they confesse Christ in word and profession deny him in their actions This is not to continue vnto the end This is an Apostasie when they haue heard the word presently to relapse and slide from the same like the dog vnto his vomet or like the Sow that was newly washed to wallow in the mire but we must keep it and that vnto the end there 's our continuance To conclude therefore with the time wee haue heard of Dauids request and of his promise In the request Teach there 's his ignorance Secondly Teach mee there 's his progresse in the way and continuance in his iourney Thirdly Iehouah O Lord there 's his teacher for God is the elects Teacher And wee haue heard by whom he teacheth by himselfe immediately by his word mediately by himselfe in his God-head by his Sonne in his man-hood by his holy spirit which spake by the mouth of all his Prophets since the world began We haue heard also by what meanes he teacheth vs by his blessings by his afflictions and iudgements So he hath taught vs and yet still doth teach vs. God grant we may learne his will lest in his wrath hee sweepe vs away by plagues and pestilence or by famine which is his most grieuous rod to punish our inflexible stonie hearts that will not bend that will not yet learne his waies O Lord we confesse thou hast iust cause rather to disclaime and renounce vs then to receiue vs againe into thy fauour Wee haue deserued O Lord the full viols of thy wrath and indignation to be powred down vpon vs. There is o Lord no tractablenes at al in vs vnto hy Lawes though thou by these thy fauourable punishmēts doest stil teach vs. But gratious God still proceed to teach vs and be gratious vnto thine inheritance Gratious God still proceed to teach vs thy way and direct vs in the paths of thy Commandements Still incline our hearts vnto thy testimonies and turne away our eies lest they behold vanitie and quicken vs in the way Still let thy Gospell be published and be gratious vnto Sion and build thou the walles of Ierusalem Still send foorth labourers into thy haruest and faithfull Pastors to feed their flocks And remooue O Lord of hosts all pernitious heretikes and schismatikes that seduce thy people and trouble thy flocke Still bee a prop to thy Gospell and gouernment heere planted in this land against the inundations and incursions of troublesome and peruerse sectuaries that too impudently and saucilie disturbe the peace of our Sion Let not thy faithfull Pastors be men-pleasers and sow pillowes to their elbowes to indulge them in their backwardnes and peruersenesse but let them truly preach thy Lawes and maintaine thy Gospell thy truth and this thy gouernment according to thine ordinance and appointment Let them remember what the Lord saith vnto his Prophet Thou sonne of man feare them not nor be afraid of their lookes but tell the house of Israel of their sinnes and Iuda his transgressions wherewith they haue prouoked the Lord God vnto anger And giue vs al grace O Lord that we may keepe thy lawes though not perfectly yet carefully and respectiuely to our best endeuours and that we may walke therein and continue and perseuere vnto the end looking vnto Iesus Christ the author and finisher of our faith which commeth quickly and his reward is with him to giue to vs a kingdome not earthly but heauenly a crowne of gladnesse a crowne of ioy a crowne of all eternall happinesse in his eternall and euerlasting kingdome Vnto which place he vouchsafe to bring vs for his deere sonne Christ Iesus sake To whom with the Father c.
