strangers to the testament they were the naturall branches of the Oliue we were but graffes if then God dealt so seuerely with the naturall branches when they sinned against him what should we looke for which are fallen into the like sinnes surely we may iustly feare greater punishments For so saith the Lord by his Prophet Ieremie For loe I begin to plague a citie where my name is called vpon and should you goe free ye shall not goe quit saith the Lord of hostes And for the beating downe of securitie let vs consider that this miserie fell vpon Ierusalem when they were most secure in their sinnes for when they thought that the heauens had buried in obliuion the blood of the Prophets and the cruell death of the sonne of God then when they least surmised God raised vp the whole power of the Romaines vnder the conduct of Vespatian and Hadrian which vtterly subuerted the Cittie Ierusalem with fiftie other fenced Cities and eight hundred fourescore and fiue walled Townes of the kingdome of Iudea in which they left scarce one foote of the wall standing Gods vengeance was neuer so neare the rich man as when he was most secure and vaunted to himselfe when he saide to his soule Soule thou hast much goods layed vp in store for many yeares liue at ease eate drinke and be merrie Scarce had he vttered or conceiued in minde this thought before he heard this voyce O foole this night will they fetch away thy soule from thee whose then shall those things be which thou hast prouided Let vs therefore beloued hauing alwaies these examples before our eyes begin yet at last to be wise by others harmes and this present opportunitie of repentance which God in his mercy hath lent vs let vs not suffer vnfruitfully to passe away let vs neuer forget this saying of our Lord The Night commeth when none can worke but while the day of saluation lasteth while the Iudge himselfe most louingly calleth vs and offereth his free grace and mercy vnto vs flie chearefully vnto him in serious repentance studying to serue him in holines and righteousnes all the daies of our life Which God graunt for his infinite mercy sake to whom with the Sonne and the holy Ghost three persons in one most glorious Trinitie one God in vnitie might and Maiestie be all praise power and dominion now and for euer Amen FINIS LONDON Printed by Thomas Creede for Arthur Iohnson dwelling neere the great North doore of S.

Est THE TRYAL OF TRVE TEARES OR THE SOMMONS to Repentance Luc. 19. vers 41.42.43.44 Luc. 19. v. 41. And when he was come neere he beheld the citie and wept for it 42. Saying O if thou hadst euen knowne at the least in this thy day those things which belong vnto thy peace but now are they hid from thine eyes 43. For the daies shall come vpon thee that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee and compasse thee round and keepe thee in on euery side 44. And shall make thee euen with the ground and thy children which are in thee and they shall not leaue in thee a stone vpon a stone because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation FIrst here is expressed the occasion Secondly the impulsiue causes That which ministred occasion to the Lord of this weeping was the sight of the citie vers 41. The causes impulsiue are two namely two euills the one present and the other future The present euill was the euill of the minde to wit the blindnes of the Citizens vers 42. The affirmation of this blindnes he amplifieth by an antithesis of a contrarie wish or desire when he saith Oh that thou haddest knowne at the least in this thy day those things which belong vnto thy peace c. The future euill pertained vnto their bodies which was the destruction of the citie This destruction againe he excellently deliniateth by the partes thereof and afterward declareth by the impulsiue cause what mooued the Lord thereunto namely their ingratitude toward the gratious visitation of God because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation Our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ in the midst of the pompe and ioyfull acclamations wherewith he was receiued into Ierusalem some spreading their garments in the way others applauding and singing a ioyfull Hosanna to the sonne of Dauid was nothing at all cheared and delighted with this solemnitie neither tooke he any pleasure in the externall glorie and beautie of the citie nor in their present peace but cast the eyes of his minde into that which inwardly lurked namely their sinnes and abhominations and foreseeing the seueritie of Gods imminent vengeance for the same this louing Sauiour in tender compassion with his holy teares bewailed their securitie and desolation at hand 1 First for our instruction let vs note here in this first verse these three things That it is said he came neare to Ierusalem 2 That he beheld the Citie 3 That he wept for it For the first God in his mercie oftentimes commeth neere vnto sinners obstinate in their vices and wickednes that he might irradiate and dispierce the darkenes of their minds with the bright beames of his grace and holy inspirations This is it our louing God saith Behold I stand at the doore and knocke If any man heare my voyce and open the doore I will come in vnto him and suppe with him and he with me But ô wretched men and women which neglect so great a proffered saluation reiect his diuine inspirations stoppe the doore of their hearts against so sweet a guest and refuse to heare his voyce and giue a deafe eare to his wholesome admonitions This obstinacie of the sinners and iniurie offered to their Creator the Prophet bewaileth and denounceth a woe against them Woe to her that is filthie and polluted to the robbing citie she heard not the voyce she receiued not correction she trusted not in the Lord she drew not neere vnto her God He approached not so much with his bodily feete as with the feete of loue and compassion whereby we are taught to be tender hearted towards such as are in miserie yea the rich may here learne to come neere the poore and needie and in a sympathie and fellow-feeling of their miseries to relieue their necessities if they will be true followers of Christ Next it is said that he beheld the citie O how happie had they bene if they had made vse of this the Lords beholding them so he beheld Peter Zacheus and Mathew had mercie vpon them and conuerted them for saluation proceedeth from this mercifull beholding of the Lord his eyes did flowe with tender loue and compassion as contrariwise by the turning away of his face proceedeth perdition
