THE DOCTRINE AND VSE OF REPENTANCE NECESSARIE TO BE PRACTISED AND VSED of all who looke to sing the song of Moses and the song of the Lambe beyond the glassie Sea Reuel 15.23 PREACHED IN SVNDRIE Sermons in the Parish Church of Alhallowes Bredstreete in London By RICH. STOCK LVK. 13.3 I tell you Except you amend your liues you shall all likewise perish AT LONDON Imprinted by Felix Kyngston for Edmund Weauer and William Welby 1610. TO THE RIGHT HONOVRABLE WILLIAM Lord Knolles Baron of Greyes Treasurer of his Maiesties houshold and one of the Lords of his Maiesties most Honorable priuie Counsell RIght Honorable the former Treatise which within these two yeeres I presented vnto your Honour I compiled out of two worthie works written in Latine by that worthie seruant of Iesus Christ and famous light of the Church of Christ Doctor Whitakers against two sworne slaues of Antichrist Campian and Dureus and I brought them by your Honours appointment into one volume and translated them into our owne tongue The subiect of it was faith the defence of the true Catholike faith as it is held in our Church and all the Churches of God against those Catholike deprauers of it And now I offer vnto your Honour a free will offering a Treatise of practise and obedience containing the doctrine of repentance Isai 22.12 Calling to weeping and mourning to baldnes and girding with sackcloath A point of that necessitie that Christ maketh mans saluation or damnation to depend on it Luke 13.3 Except you amend your liues yee shall all likewise perish and of which Chrysostom speaketh thus Non cecidisse graue est sed post lapsum non resurrexisse satanicum pernitiosum est Chrysost hom 22. ad pop An●…och It is no great thing to fall into sinne but it is diuellish and deadlie after the fall not to rise again whereupon the Lord saith Ierem. 8.22 Is there no balme in Gilead is there no Physitian there why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recouered Yet happily may it seeme to most men to bee an vntimelie birth to be brought foorth now in the daies time of our Isai 22.13 ioy and gladnesse slaying of oxen and killing of sheepe eating of flesh and drinking of wine and if that was wisdome in Abigail 1. Sam. 25.36 not vpon Nabals feast day not when his heart was merrie within him to acquaint him with heauie newes and mourneful tidings of Dauids wrath and resolution but to stay till the feast was ended it may happilie in me be iudged a point of follie while our feasts lasts yea in the middest of our reioycing to offer to your Lordship and the view of others this tractate of sadnes and sorrow mourning and humiliation My apologie is at hand my defence not farre to seeke The case is not alike and so our course may well differ for with them the danger was well ouer Dauids wrath was well appeased so that shee might with safetie watch a fitter opportunitie to communicate those things vnto him But with vs and our times the danger is imminent our Dauid is not appeased Isai 9.12 For his hād is stretched out still so that delay were now very dangerous and not to hasten to the practise of it verie pernicious to mens both present and future state Skilfull Physitians haue their time of the yeere of the Moone and of the signe which they hold best and fittest for letting of blood cutting searing and administring of purging potions yet if they see the state of the sicke patient cannot well abide so long vndealt with but in some diseases it be dangerous to delay a day nay but a few houres as in a pluresie they wil open a veine though the signe be in the vitall parts which in their generall practise they hold vnfit and often ioyned with great danger neither doe men vsuallie reprooue them for it vnlesse it be out of their ignorance Can I then of any man be iustly blamed if I offer this spirituall Physicke to all and be S. Pauls preacher 2. Tim. 4.2 Out of season euen now as it were to let the sicke blood when the signe is verie nie the heart Seeing if wee had no particular occasion by Gods iudgements yet the generall condition of all who are mortall and the generall infection of all who are sinfull and the absolute necessitie of this dutie which being not taken in hand in time but deferred a day nay an houre or two may as much danger the spirituall estate of the soule as omitting of bleeding in a pluresie may the health of the bodie Seeing the Scripture speaketh but of one time or day of turning vnto God which time and tide being not taken there is no turning of the tide againe no reuolution of the time but that though a man may liue with Esau many a yeere after he hath lost the opportunitie of the blessing and of repentance to seeke it and that with a fountaine of teares Heb. 12.17 Yet hee may not find place to repentance It cannot then vpon the point bee vnseasonable for me to cal for this in euery season which at no time can come too soone nor yet too late so it be serious and true but the occasion being let slip cannot be recouered againe if a man would giue a world for it Besides I am not without president of the like For the holy man Iob Iob 1.5 called and commanded his sonnes to sacrifice and so to repent for thitherto the burnt offerings hee made led them not at the end of their feasts when their seuen daies were ouer but euery day lest that should fall out which hee feared that they should sinne against God though it were but in their hearts so carefull was he a thing easily seasing vpon the hart hands and tongue when the rebell flesh is pampered with full diet and many dishes and the mind with pleasures and delites transported out of it selfe yea and fearing also that which after fell out lest if they deferred their repentance and seeking of reconciliation they might be ouertaken with death in the very act of their feasting Vers 18.19 as they afterward were when they began their courses of feasting euen in the first day Hath not that also some resemblance with this Iohn 19.41 that Ioseph built his sepulchre in the place of his pleasure his garden as knowing how easie it was for him in his pleasures to forget himselfe and his end And if we be men of the same matter and cast in the same mould yet their holines exceeding ours this doctrine of humiliation may not be vnfit for vs not onely to be known but practised lest if wee deferre it it should fall out with some of vs as it may wel with all for any Writ of priuiledge wee can sue out that wee may with Iobs sonnes bee taken before our feasts be ouer and ere euer the time
