not but blush at the reading of it But the Writings of this precious Man are irrefragable Arguments of my own shall I say or Yorkshires Loss nay of the whole Kingdoms Loss in the Death of so Orthodox a Divine in such sad times But I will no longer detain thee from the perusal of this his last Work Reviewed and Corrected by himself Wishing thee much spiritual Benefit thereby and subscribing my self Thine EDWARD LEIGH To the READER READER THe name of the Reverend and Learned Authour prefixed to this Treatise with those other works of his published by himself in his life-time might save the Labour of any Epistle or Preface thereunto as being sufficient to recommend it unto the Church of God But because Editions of Books are lyable to prejudice and disadvantage in their entertainment it was judged not unnecessary that something of this nature should lead forth this Book into the world which service at the desire of a Friend I have readily undertaken that so I might express that true respect I always had unto the Author in bearing his Book after him And first let me assure thee That these ensuing Sermons on the fifteenth Psalm are the genuine issue of him whose name they bear being by himself prepared for the Press and wholly printed before his death And this those that knew him will believe for the very works sake which is a true resemblance of the Author learned and plain critical and practical There are indeed other Pictures of his for Books may be fitly so termed as his learned Annotations on Genesis and Exodus his Polemical Rejoynder to the Marquess of Worcester But this Piece as I conceive renders him more to the life then any of the rest for he lived this Treatise as well as wrote it In this Age wherein so many are offended it 's possible that some may stumble at the divine Zeal of the Authors matter and Method but let such consider that it was intended for a High-way to the heavenly Jerusalem the Holy Hill If any be weary of its plainness there are difficulties in the Margent to refresh him He that brings me good tydings let him with Ahimaaz Run the way of the plain I shall have them so much the sooner For my own part I look upon this work as a religiously-learned seasonable Call from disputes to duties from libertine wandrings to regular walkings and if there were no more in it then the producing and applying so much Scripture upon the account of Truth and Holiness it were sufficient to recommend it unto a right-spirited Christian who rejoyces in the word as one that findeth great spoyl But there is much more as thou wilt finde in the perusal to which with a blessing I leave thee and remain Thine EDWARD BOWLES York June 22. A brief and true account of the Authour and of his Work IN this Age of so many monstrous Editions of Books he that publisheth an Author ought to be a true friend to Piety faithful and honest to the memory of the Deceased more especially if as good men we consider how Popery and Heresie prophaness and carnal mindedness by many unworthy Obtruders on the Press have crept into the World for the Churches sake these spiritual Aides should be communicated but not against the Church so that it will appear To be excellent Wisdom in Christians that bear a true Zeal to Religion to consider how men have lived as well as how they have writ The learned Author of this ensuing Commentary was descended from honest and Religious Parents born in the Parish of Saint Michaels the Belfrank called Belfrers within the City of York he was baptized the first day of October in the year of our Lord one thousand six hundred and two his Education was under painful Schoolmasters from whom being accomplisht for the University of Cambridge there he was fellow of Peter-house and took his Degrees and remained there about fifteen years behaving himself so regularly that he purchased honour and respect from the most learned men in his time and when that he was called to any publick exercise he commanded the Emulation if not the Admiration of all his Auditors After some removes as the transactions of our lives are various his preaching of the Word at Cambridge Staffordshire and York for the space of thirty years in the last of which places for his happy settlement it pleased the divine Providence to continue this fruitful Plant of the Lord Jesus a painful pastor in the Church of Saint Martins in the City of York where for many years he discharged his blessed employment from heaven with such Pious Integrity and learned Elocution that his death at this time is bewailed of all good men as the greatest loss that hath for many years befallen that County I must not forget what Doctor Collins spoke prophetically of him in respect of his early proficiency in the Oriental Tongues That if it pleased God to bless him with years he would be an incomparable Ornament to the Nation which hath been verified in his since printed Works his Exposition of the Creed his Electa Thargumica Rabbinica Annotations on Genesis as also on Exodus with other Works of his which at this time are extant both in Latine and English And that the true love he bore to learning and the honour of his Country might not to be forgotten he inlarged himself according to his ability for the publishing of the large Bible in the Languages lately printed It pleased God to bless him with life to finish this Commentary the Sheets whereof he constantly received from the Press and corrected them with his own hands When after ten weeks more violent sickness of a Consumption death seized him he was gathered to his Fathers at six and fifty the Climacterical year as he called it of his Age. He lies buried in the Church of St. Martins where he continued so long in his Ministry That learned and religious Servant of Jesus Christ Mr Edward Bowles preacht his funeral Sermon which was attentively heard and drew tears from most of the Auditors he gave an honourable account of the deceased he took his Text out of the second of Timothy the fourth Chapter the seventh and eighth verses I have fought a good fight I have finished my course I have kept the faith Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness which the Lord the righteous Judge shall give me at that day and not unto me onely but unto them also that love his appearing Amongst other admirable expressions in his Sermon he touched on three things which he desired himself and his Brethren might imitate him in his Sobriety his Industry and the plainness of his preaching for though he had read more Books then many of of us have heard of yet he did not crowd his Sermons so much with Quotations of Authors as not to prefer the blessed Scripture infinitely before them and further alluding to the words of
against his brother in your heart But they refused to hearken and pulled away the shoulder and stopped their ears that they should not heare Yea they made their hearts as an adamant-stone lest they should hear the law and the words which the Lord of hosts hath sent in his Spirit by the former Prophets this was the aggravation of their sin therefore came a great wrath from the Lord of hosts c. Zach. 7.10 11 12. 4. Such as have been convinced of the evil which they have unjustly done unto others and confessed it promising to do so no more and yet do it Thus Saul was convinced of his injurious dealing with David he did confesse it and promise that he would desist from it This we finde 1 Sam. 24.16 c. Yet when he saw his opportunity he fell to persecute David as much as ever 1 Sam. 26.1 2. And though again he confessed his fault and promised amendment saying I have sinned returne my son David for I will no more do thee harme c. 1 Sam. 26.21 yet the Scripture intimates that Saul would still have persecuted David but that David fled into another country and so got him out of Sauls reach And it was told Saul That David was fled to Gath and he sought no more for him 1 Sam. 27 4. Because he saw he had no hope to find him otherwise he would have sought him still his heart was still malitiously bent against him 2. Evil is aggravated in respect of the persons to whom it is done As 1. If it be done to parents He that smiteth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death Exod 21.15 And he that curseth his father or his mother shall surely be put to death vers 17. 2. If evil be done to Magistrates When David had Saul at advantage and some perswaded him to lay hold on the opportunity and to free himself from ever being molested by him any more The Lord forbid said he that I should do this thing unto my Master the Lords anointed to stretch forth mine hand against him seeing he is the anointed of the Lord 1 Sam. 24.6 And again when upon the like advantage Abishai desired David to let him smite Saul David would not give way to it saying Destroy him not for who can stretch forth his hand against the Lords anointed and be guiltless 1 Sam. 26.9 Curse not the king no not in thy thought saith Salomon Eccles 10.20 Curse not any but not him especially 3. It is an aggravation of the evil that is done if it be done to Ministers Doe my Prophets no harme saith God Psal 105.15 Do none harme but especially not them Moses before his death blessing the several tribes when he comes to the tribe of Levi he saith thus Blesse Lord his substance and accept the work of his hands smite thorough the loines of them that rise against him and of them that hate him that they rise not again Deut. 33.11 When king Jeroboam being offended with the Prophet that came and spake against the altar that he had set up put forth his hand to lay hold on him the Lord was so offended with him for it that immediately he made his hand to drie up so that he could not pull it in again unto him 1 King 13.4 R. Salomon upon the place observes that God shewed more zeale in revenging the injurie done to the Prophet 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 R. Sal. in 1 Reg. 13. 4. then in revenging the injury done immediately to himself For when Jeroboam burnt incense in an idolatrous manner his hand did not drie up but when he offered to doe violence to the Prophet then it dried up So when the people of the Jews mocked the messengers of God and misused his Prophets then the wrath of the Lord arose against them till there was no remedy Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees c. 2 Chron. 36.16 17. c O Jerusalem Jerusalem said our Saviour thou that killest the Prophets and stonest them that are sent unto thee how often would I have gathered thy children together even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings and ye would not Behold your house is left unto you desolate Matt. 23. verses 37 38. 4. So when evil is done to Masters Judas ought not to have betrayed any but especially not his Master What a faithful servant was Jacob unto Laban though he had a very hard Master of him Ye know said he to Labans daughters that with all my power I have served your father Gen. 31.6 And pleading with Laban himself These twenty years said he have I beene with thee thy ewes and thy shee-goates have not cast their young and the rams of thy flocke have I not eaten That which was torne of beasts I brought not unto thee I bare the losse of it of mine hand didst thou require it whether stolne by day or stolne by night Thus I was in the dâ—y the drought consumed me and the frost by night and my sleep departed from mine eyes Gen. 31.38 39 40. So the Apostle requires that servants be obedient into their Masters and please them well in all things not answering again Not purloyning but shewing all good fidelity Tit. 2.9 10. 5. The evil also that is done to others is aggravated if it be done to those that are professours of the true religion such as have special relation unto God and in a peculiar manner belong unto him Why do ye not rather take wrong why do ye not rather suffer your selves to be defrauded Nay ye do wrong and defraud and that your brethren 1 Cor. 6.7 8. Though they were Jews or Turks or whatsoever they were yet they were not to be wronged or defrauded much lesse are brethren Christians such as professe the true God and Jesus Christ to be so used How grievous then is their sin who the more any appeare to be religious and godly the more they seek to do them hurt such especially shew themselves to be of their father the devil who is the professed enemy of God Plus possidetur à diabolo qui non solum ipse malus est verum etiam gratis odit servientes Deo Aug. and of those that have any thing of God in them Cain was of the wicked one that is the devil and slew his brother and wherefore slew he him because his own works were evil and his brothers righteous 1 John 3.12 How God is provoked against such as do evil to his people may appeare by his dealing with Amalek for this very cause Because when the Israelites were travelling towards Canaan Amalek came and fought against them God commanded Moses saying Write this for a memorial in a booke and rehearse it in the eares of Joshua for I will utterly put out the name of Amalek from under heaven Exod. 17.8 14. And vers 16. The Lord hath sworne that the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to
generation And Moses a little before his death put the people in minde of this Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way when ye were come forth out of Egypt How he met thee by the way and smote the hindmost of thee even all that were feeble behinde thee when thou wast faint and weary and he feared not God Therefore shall it be when the Lord thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possesse it that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven thou shalt not forget it Deut. 25.17 18 19. And though God did long even 400. years deferre to execute vengeance upon the Amalekites yet he did not forget the injury which they did unto his people but when Saul was king he sent Samuel unto him charging him to goe and utterly destroy them for it I remember said he that which Amalek did to Israel though Amalek it is likely had forgotten it yet the Lord did remember it how he laid wait for him in the way when he came up from Egypt Now go and smite Amalek and utterly destroy all that they have and spare them not but slay both man and woman infant and suckling oxe and sheep camel and asse 1 Sam. 15.2 3. And because Saul did not so fully execute this judgment as he should have done but spared Agag the king of the Amalekites and the best of the cattel therefore God would not spare him but cast him off and transferred the kingdom to another 6. If any do evil to those that have done no evil to them this also is an aggravation of the evil and makes the sin the greater Indeed though other have done evil to us yet we ought not therefore to doe evil unto them Say not I will do so to him he hath done to me I will render to the man according to his deeds Pro. 24.29 Recompense no man evil for evil Dearly beloved avenge not your selves but rather give place to wrath for it is written Vengeance is mine I will repay saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger feed him if he thirst give him drink For in so doing thou shalt heap coales of fire on his head Be not overcome of evil but overcome evil with good Rom. 12.17 19 20 21. Our Saviour would not do evil for evil When he was reviled he reviled not again and when he suffered he threatned not but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously 1 Pet. 2.23 So that man after Gods own heart David though Saul did hunt his soul to take it yet he would not avenge himself on him when he had opportunity but said The Lord judge between me and thee and the Lord avenge me on thee but mine hand shall not be upon thee As saith the proverbe of the ancients Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked but mine hand shall not be upon thee 1 Sam. 24.12 13. But a far greater sin it is if we do them evil who have done us none They devise deceitfull matters saith David against them that are quiet in the land such as neither meddle nor make with them as we say Psal 35.20 Wo unto thee that spoilest and thou wast not spoiled and dealest treacherously and they dealt not treacherously with thee Isai 33.1 7. Much worse yet it is if any do evil to those who have done good to them Thus Jonathan pleaded with his father Saul in the behalfe of David when he perceived that Saul intended evil against him Let not the king said he sin against his servant against David Because he hath not sinned against thee and not only so but and because his works have been to theeward very good For he did put his life in his hand and slew the Philistine and the Lord wrought a great salvation for all Israel thou sawest it and didst rejoyce wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood to slay David without a cause 1 Sam. 19. vers 4 5. This David complaines sore of They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul Psal 35. vers 12. This made Jeremie cry out Shall evil be recompensed for good for they have digged a pit for my soul remember that I stood before thee to speake good for them and to turne away thy wrath from them Jer. 18.20 Thus Christ did aggravate the sin of Judas saying He that eateth bread with me he whom I have so respected so honoured as to make him sit with me at mine own table hath lift up his heele against me Plato called Aristotle a colt which having sucked the damme lifts up the heele and kicks her Aelian histor l. 4. c. 9. John 13.18 8. It is an aggravation of evil when it is done to those that are least able to beare it Thou shalt neither vex a stranger nor oppresse him Exod. 22.21 And vers 22. Ye shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child It is a sin to afflict vex and oppresse any but such especially So Deut. 24.14 Thou shalt not oppresse an hired servant that is poore and needy The Prophet Ezekiel complaining of the people of the Jews The people of the land saith he have used oppression and exercised robbery and have vexed the poore and needy yea they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully Ezek. 22.29 SERM. XII SERM. 12 Psal 15.3 Nor doth evil to his neighbour I Have shewed how the evil that any do to others is agravated 1. In respect of the persons by whom it is done 2. In respect of the persons to whom it is done Now to proceed the evil that is done is also aggravated 3. in respect of the time when it is done None ought to doe evil to others at any time yet it is worse if they do it at some time then if they do it an another When Gehazi had run after Naaman and by forging a lie had gotten gifts of him Elisha aggravated his sin in respect of the time when it was committed Is it a time said he to receive money and to receive garments and olive-yards and vineyards and sheep and oxen and men-servants and maid-servants 2 King 5.26 Surely there was no time for Gehazi or any other to receive gifts in that manner as he did but least of all was it to be done at that time when he did it For now Naaman of a heathenish idolater was newly become a proselyte he was newly converted to the Jewish religion professing that thenceforth he would offer neither burnt-offering nor sacrifice unto other gods but unto the Lord 2 King 5.17 For Gehazi therefore now at this time to defraud and cheat Namaan as he did might have been enough both to alienate Naaman from his newly embraced religion and also to make it odious unto others whom otherwise Naaman and the cure wrought upon him might have been a meanes to convert unto it Thus also the Prophet Esay taxeth some not only
Lord as well as a Saviour He will reign and rule over us or else he will not intercede for us and save us The Friends of Christ are they that shall be saved by Christ Eat O friends and drink saith he yea drink abundantly O beloved Cant. 5.1 Now they that are obedient unto Christ they onely are the Friends of Christ You are my Friends saith he if ye do whatsoever I command you Joh. 15.14 As for such as will not subject themselves unto Christ and be ruled by him they are his enemies and must look for nothing but destruction from him But those mine Enemies which would not suffer me to reign over them bring hither and slay them before me Luk. 19.27 This likewise makes for the Conviction of those that Vse 3 assure themselves of Heaven and Eternal Happiness and yet regard nothing less then to do those things which God doth require of them Some will not so much as hear the word of God They are such as the Prophet Isaiah complained of a rebellious people lying children children that will not hear the the Law of the Lord. Which say to the Seers See not to the Prophets Prophesie not unto us right things speak smooth things prophesie deceits Get ye out of the way turn aside out of the path cause the holy One of Israel to cease from before us Isai 30.9 10 11. But as Salomon tells us He that turneth away his ear from hearing the Law even his prayer shall be an abomination Prov. 28.9 Some hear but they do not heed to understand what they hear like those silly women of whom the Apostle speaketh they are ever learning but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth 2 Tim. 3.7 Yet they please themselves in this and think this will save them that they come to the Church and hear Sermons though they still remain as rude and ignorant as ever they were But saith our Saviour Hear and understand Mat. 15.10 Hearing without understanding is no hearing at all and therefore in the Scripture to hear sometimes is as much as to understand Go to let us go down and there confound their language that they may not understand one anothers speech Gen. 11.7 In the Hebr. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 it is that they may not hear He that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men but unto God for no man understandeth him 1 Cor. 14.2 In the Greek it is no man heareth Some both hear and also understand what the Lord in his word doth require of them but they are so far from doing it that they deride it and scoffe at it As the Pharisees being covetous and resolving to be so still derided Christ when they heard him speak against covetousness Luk. 16.14 So Saint Peter foretels of scoffers walking after their own lusts and saying Where is the promise of his coming To wit of Christs coming to Judgement 2 Pet. 3 4. But judgements are prepared for scorners Pro. 19.29 Now therefore be ye no mockers lest your bonds be made strong Isai 28. Some hear and understand and profess the Truth but do not in their hearts assent unto it but are grosly hypocritical and deceitful They draw neer unto God with their mouth but remove their heart far from him Isai 29.13 God is neer in their mouth but far from their reins Jer. 12.2 Some hear and understand and profess and assent unto the Truth but they will not obey and practice it Their Faith is not lively and operative their hearts and affections are not changed their lusts and corruptions are not subdued still they remain averse from God and disobedient unto him Such a one was Simon Magus as others in Samaria when Philip had preached unto them so Simon himself believed also Act. 8.13 He so far believed as to assent to the Doctrine which he heard being convinced by the miracles and signs which he saw wrought by Philip. Yet his heart was not right in him vers 21. but he was still in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity vers 23. Now let all these consider that their hearing knowing professing and believing without obeying and practizing is so far from being able to save them that it shall aggravate and increase their condemnation Such as hear the word and do it not are compared to a house built upon the sand 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Theophylact ad Luc. 6.49 which not onely falls but the fall of it is great Mat. 7.27 Luk. 6.49 They that hear and do not practise are in a worse condition then they that could never hear the word at all If I had not come and spoken unto them they had not had sin to wit in that degree and measure as now they have but now they have no cloak for their sin Joh. 15.22 The more means any have the more inexcusable they are if they do not bring forth fruit answerable For unto whomsoever much is given of him shall be much required and to whom men shall have committed much of him they will ask the more Luk. 12.48 So the more knowledge any have if they do not conform their practice unto it they are the more inexcusable and liable to the greater condemnation To him that knoweth to do good and doth it not to him it is sin that is to him especially Jam. 4.17 So that they are without excuse because that when they knew God they did not glorifie him as God c. Rom. 1.20 21. That servant that knew his Lords will and prepared not himself neither did according to his will shall be beaten with many stripes Luk. 12.47 The more also that any profess the Truth and assent unto it the greater is their sin and the sorer shall be their punishment if they do not yield up themselves in obedience unto it Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee thou wicked servant Luk 19.22 So out of their own mouths and hearts will Christ judge and condemn those whose lives and conversations gainsay that which their mouths profess and their hearts assent unto Let all therefore have a care as to hear and understand Vse 3 and profess and believe the word of God so also to obey it To incite us hereunto let us consider these Motives 1. It is for Gods glory which is it that we ought to aim at Motives to stir up unto obedience in all and above all Whether ye eat or drink or whatsoever ye do do all to the glory of God 1 Cor. 10.31 Now we glorifie God not so much by hearing knowing professing and believing Gods word as by yielding obedience unto it I have glorified thee on earth said Christ to his Father and to shew how and wherein he had glorified him he added immediately I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do Joh. 17.4 So speaking to his disciples Herein is my Father glorified said he that ye bear much fruit to wit of
