Satan viz. 1 If they would lay their foundation upon the most holy Doctrine of the Apostles which hath no mixture of humane inventions and would not depart any thing at all from it 2 If they would daily take care to carry on the superstructure and would strive unto perfection in the knowledge and beleef of the Truth revealed in the Word of God 3 If they were diligent in their prayers out of a sense of their necessities following the guidance of the Holy Spirit which helps the infirmities of the Saints and shews them for what and how they must pray according to the will of God Vers. 21. Keep your selves in the love of God looking for the mercy of our Lord Iesus Christ unto eternal life 4 If they indeavoured to love their brethren and neighbours out of a sense of the love of God towards them 5 If they would set the coming of the Lord before their eyes 6 If they apprehended eternal life 7 If against their own unworthiness they adhered to the mercy of Christ who is so to bee our Judge that hee will take the Gospel and the free benefit of our Redemption procured by himself for his rule From this it follows that wee ought to persevere in the Faith Vers. 22. And of some have compassion making a difference 23. And others save with fear pulling them out of the fire bating even the garment spotted by the flesh Arg. 9. Is propounded by way of precept because a reason is given of God to the Church whereby not onely they may persevere but they may reduce into the way those that wandred out and raise up those that were fallen To wit if they would handle every one according to his condition i. e. putting a difference between those that erre mercy and compassion was to be used towards those that were tractable and meek but if any one was stubborn and more securely shall indulge himself in his sin with fear and a more severe castigation they should endeavour to preserve him to wit by excommunication if otherwise hee could not be amended There are two Reasons given of this Reas. 1. Under a fit similitude for where wee see any one in danger to be burnt with fire we stick not to snatch him out by force So are they to be cured who repent not unless they be sharply handled who are to be rescued from hell and destruction even by the severest censures Reas. 2. By an allusion to a Legal type Levit. 15. Because where there is danger of infection and contagion as in obstinate offenders and such as lead the way to others their society is to be avoided and wee must depart from such Libertines given up to the pollution of the flesh As in times past under the Law there was a separation from Lepers and those that were pestilentially infected which is the consequence of excommunication Vers. 24. Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy The third part of the Epistle remains to wit the conclusion in which hee shews that all the praise of their perseverance is to be given unto God lest any man should ascribe too much to the power of man whose diligence in the use of means as to the premises is so much urged These five following Reasons shew that the praise of not perseverance is wholly to be attributed unto Christ. Is able Reas. 1. Because the power of preserving beleevers wholly abides in him that in this life they might not fall or faint in the course of holiness To present Reas. 2. Because there is power in him to present all his in the day of judgement unblameable in the sight of God with exceeding joy Vers. 25. To the onely wise God our Saviour bee glory and majesty dominion and power now and ever Amen Reas. 3. Because hee is the onely wise God that by his own waies and means hee may accomplish this whole business Saviour Reas. 4. Because hee is our Saviour by his merit office and efficacy it is necessary hee should accomplish what hee hath undertaken Glory Reas. 5. Because in every one of his works hee willeth the manifestation of his glory So that chiefly in this business he will have the glory of his Majesty appear his infinite power to be seen and his supream authority over all men and things to be eminently discovered and acknowledged both now and for ever Therefore you that are true beleevers shall persevere and all the glory of your salvation shall bee given unto God to whom of right it belongs and shall be ascribed for ever Amen THE END A Catalogue of Books printed for Francis Eglesfield Courteous Reader These Books following are to bee sold by Francis Eglesfield at the Sign of the Marygold in St. Pauls Church-yard Books of Divinity PIous and learned Annotations on the Bible with a large and useful Analysis in folio By the learned Iohn Diodate The Body of Divinity it being the sum and substance of Christian Religion Catechistically propounded and explained by way of Question and Answer By Bishop Usher The Holy Court in five Tomes written in French by Nicholas Causine and translated into English by Sir Thomas Hawkins and others The Works of that learned and pious Gentleman Sir Richard Baker Knight are these viz. 1 Meditations and Disquisitions on the Lords Prayer in 4o. 2 Meditations and Disquisitions on the first Psalm in 4o. 3 Meditations and Disquisitions on the seven penitential Psalms in 4o. 4 Meditations and Disquisitions on the seven Consolitory Psalms in 4o. 5 Ca●o Variegatus or Cato's Moral disticks translated and paraphrased with Variations of Expressings in English verse in 4o. 6 Motives to Prayer in 12. 7 The Apology for Laymens writing of Divinity together with the fall of Lucifer in 12. 8 Meditations and Disquisitions on the Creed a very useful book for these times in 12. 9 Soliloquies for the Soul in 12.
