thing God is Judge I did not I love a good Clergy-man too well for that I love the very ground he goes upon I know his great VVorth He is worthy of double Honour He is no precarious dependent Creature He is worthy of and deserves and may challenge a double Honour when Men are so base as to deny him an ordinary Respect Oh how beautiful upon the Mountains are the Feet of him that bringeth good Tidings that publisheth peace that bringeth good tidings of Good that publisheth Salvation that saith unto Zion Thy God reigneth Isa 52. 7. God is judge All my Design was First To do as God himself does to begin with God's own House For till that be first reformed no considerable Reformation can ever be made Till the Spring be sweetned the Streams will be bitter And it was Secondly That no Men might take it amiss when I told them of their Faults having told the Clergy of theirs in the first place Paul withstood Peter to the Face and told him of his Fault before all the People And it was Thirdly That I might gain my Doctrin the freer Passage into the Hearts of all my Hearers by shewing them openly that I did nothing by Prejudice or Partiality but that I taught the way of God in Truth without regarding any Man's Person God is Judge If all Men would but as diligently endeavour to live strict Lives to avoid all Publick Houses those Haunts of Idleness and Debauchery and to preach affectionately and by heart If all Men would but as diligently endeavour to do this and to observe the Rubrick the Canons the Articles the Homilies and the Liturgy of the Church of England If all Men I say would but as diligently endeavour to do all this as I my self have hitherto always done in my Station Then All its Professors would endeavour to be like its incomparable Constitutions the best in the whole World Amen Lord Jesus Amen Amen The Sum of the whole matter is this This is the Charge that God gave me when I first came to this Place Son of Man I have made thee a Watchman unto the House of Israel Therefore hear the Word from my mouth and give them warning from me When I say unto the wicked Thou shalt surely die and thou givest him not warning nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way to save his life the same wicked man shall die in his Iniquity but his Blood will I require at thine hand Ezek. 3. 17 18. And what I am to tell you from God at my going away from this place is this Into whatsoever City or Town ye shall enter enquire who in it is worthy and there abide till ye go thence And when ye come into an House salute it And if the House be worthy let your peace come upon it but if it be not worthy let your peace return to you And whoseever shall not receive you nor hear your words when ye depart out of that House or City shake off the dust of your Feet Verily I say unto you it shall be more tolerable for the Land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of Judgment than for that City Matth. 10. 11 12 13 14 15.
