times and seasons that is to say aswel in affliction as in prosperitie and to this purpose Dauid protesteth That hée will alwaye giue thanks vnto his Lord and that his praise shal be in his mouth continually And Saint Paule admonisheth the Thessalonians to giue thanks in all things adding for this is the wil of God in Christe Iesus But this is clene contrary to time seruers and to all them whiche in time of prosperitie fawne vpon the gospell and are well content for that time to praise God whome afterwarde in time of affliction they defye and set naught by The cause of this mischéef is for that they haue not yéelded them selues to the Churche of God for a good end and purpose as to extoll the glory of God to séek their owne saluation and the saluation of their brethern but rather to greaten them selues in their goods and honours and to satisfye their owne affections And therfore it commeth to passe that as soon as the deuil lifteth vp his hornes against the Churche of God and perscutions be at hand they melt away by and by in affliction as dooth War before the fire they are offended and parched with the Sunne of the Crosse they are sory for the good they haue doon they repent thē selues that they were so hasty to confesse the name of our Lord Iesus Christe in the assembly of the faithful they wish they had neuer knowen God nor his woord nor his Church nor his ministers because they make greter account as Esau did of one messe of pottage then of the birth-right and blessing of the heauenly father But let such maner of persons knowe the it shall no more profit them that they made a fair beginning ioly holding vp of their buckler then it did Cain Esau Saule Iudas For séeing that sentence is generall that whosoeuer continueth vnto the end he shal be saued it foloweth by the contrary the all they whiche doo not coutinue cōstantly in the confession of the sonne of God are hindred by their goods and honours looue of the world ease of their flesh to set foorth declare with a continual train the benefit of our redemption it foloweth I say that such persons shall go to ruin and euerlasting destruction Last of all this acknowledging must not onely bee priuat but publique in the face and presēce of the whole church and therfore as Dauid saith what shall I render vnto the Lord for all his benefits toward me I wil take the cup of saluation and call vpon the name of the lord I wil pay my vowes vnto the Lord euen now in the presence of all his people And again I haue declared thy righteousnes in the great congregation to I haue not refrained my lips O Lord thou knowest I haue not hid thy righteousnesse within mine hart but I haue declared thy trueth and thy saluation I haue not concealed thy mercy thy trueth from the great congregation So then this ought tobe wel printed in the hart of the weke and those that are ashamed to confesse praise openly our Lord Iesus Christe For séeing that God dooth auouche vs openly for his people he giueth him self fréely vnto vs to our children in the person of his wel belooued sonne our Lord Iesꝰ Christe we can doo no lesse thē auouch him publiquely for our god and saueour in the person of that same his welbelooued sonne Christe Iesus our Lord. ¶ Of Looue Article 4.
