the iniquitie of vs all he hath taken away the sinnes of the world God loued the world Go into all the world he will all men to be saued and come to repentance he hath shut vp all in vnbeleefe that he might haue mercie vpon all God is wonderfull in his worke whom he calleth and whom he chaungeth Therefore I thanke him saith Saint Paul which hath made me strong that is Christ Iesus our Lord For he counted me faithfull and put me in his seruice when before I was a blasphemer and a persecuter and an oppressour but I was receiued to mercie c. Againe Be not deceiued neither fornicators nor idolaters nor wantons nor buggerers nor theeues nor couetous nor drunkards nor railers nor extorcioners shall inherite the kingdome of God And such were some of you but ye are washed but ye are sanctified in the name of the Lord Iesus and by the spirit of our God Also the Ephesians dead in sinnes and trespasses walking according to the course of this world after the prince that ruleth in the aire euen the spirit that worketh in the children of disobedience c. You hath he quickened saith the Apostle Among whom we also had our conuersation in times past in the lusts of our flesh in fulfilling the will of the flesh and of the minde and were by nature the children of wrath as well as others c. but God which is rich in mercy c. hath quickened vs c. Now then they that will profite in the schoole of Christ. Behold he freely sendeth to all people to all nations to all creatures to the good to the bad to as manie as ye can find to the high waies to the lanes to the laden to the oppressed to al the world to blasphemers fornicatours adulterers and idolaters to men dead in sinnes possessed of Satan children of the world children of wrath and disobedience That none should despaire that none should be discouraged that all should draw neare vnto him That hee might doe vnto them as he did to the Corinthians to the Ephesians to wash them and sanctifie them by his spirit that they beeing once farre off might be made neare by the bloud of Christ that they might be no more straungers and forreiners but Citizens with the Saints and of the household of God And for this cause as a learned man saith The nations are so often inuited to laud and to glorifie God both in the Psalmes and Prophets as in the 117. Psalme Praise the Lord all ye nations praise ye him all ye people For his louing kindnesse is great towards vs and the truth of the Lord endureth foreuer And a-againe Let the people praise thee O God let all the people praise thee And further to the great comfort of all those that seeke the Lord while he may be found The Lord is no lesse bountifull towards halt lame blind and dead miserable man in perfourming of his mercies then he is in promising But according as it is said The Lord is full of compassion and mercie long suffering and of great goodnesse Hee will not alway bee chiding neither keepeth he his anger for euer Euen so walketh he and dealeth with his children We know how like a louing Father he reasoned with Abraham with dust and ashes to haue condiscended to his request if there had been but ten good men How inuiteth h● his people Israel to be conuerted vnto him If a man put away his wife and she go from him and become another mans shall he returne againe vnto her Shall not this land be polluted But thou hast plaied the harlot with many louers yet turne againe vnto me saith the Lord. And againe Thou disobedient Israell returne saith the Lord and I will not let my wrath fal vpon you For I am mercifull saith the Lord and will not alway keepe mine anger Let vs looke vpon examples It was taught vnto Peter Whosoeuer shall denie mee before men him will I also denie before my father which is in heauen But Peter which was taught this doctrine denied the Lord with an oath yea with cursing and swearing That he knew not the man but the Lord forgaue him David sate in the throne of iustice and iudgement yet to make way vnto his wicked lust he tooke Bersabe killed Vrias with the sworde of the Ammonites made the enemies of God to blaspheme his name wrought great wickednesse in the sight of the Lord in numbring the people yet the Lord pardoned him King Manasse● led the people in abhominations fiftie and fiue yeares And when he was in tribulation he besought the Lord his God and humbled himselfe exceedingly before the God of his Fathers and made intercession to him and God was entreated of him and heard his praier Out of the woman sinner the Lord cast out seuen Diuels Yea despairing is not cast vpon Simon Magus that great bewitcher of the people but that the Apostle saith vnto him Repent therefore of thy wickednesse and pray God that if it bee possible the thoughts of thine heart may be forgiuen thee c. But I surcease vpon the multitude of examples and conclude with Dauid that thus burst forth in his wonderfull strait Let vs fall now into the hands of the Lord for his mercies are great c. Let vs in all the imperfections of this life draw neare vnto him who so louingly inuiteth vs saying O ye disobedient children returne and I will heale your rebellions Let vs most gladly and readily answere Behold wee come vnto thee for thou art the Lord our God And for these his mercies his name be blessed and praised for euermore But now wee come to the last part concerning praier the will of the Lord being so manifestly set downe as before I doubt not but according to the same will it is very plaine and euident to discerne for whom wee ought to pray and on the other side the vanitie of those that haue coined formes of praier herein contrary to the good will of God doth appeare also When Moses was about the work of the tabernacle of the Lord and to finish the same he was warned by God See said he that thou make all things according to the patterne shewed thee in the mount so I doubt not but the Apostle being a minister of a better testament which is established vpon bett●r promises would ordeine publique praier for the church of God according to the mind of Christ and the wisedome from aboue reuealed vnto him As if he should reason Is it thy mind O Christ to call in halt lame blind maimed Wilt thou in mercie bring in the fulnes of the Gentiles shall theeues adulterers and Idolaters bee chaunged and sanctified vnto thee shall thy holy commission of the word and sacraments for the subduing of the kingdome of sin for the working of faith in thy children goe forth to
