surely he that wanteth it is like a man that standeth trembling in the field without his Armour because euery one can strike him and he can strike none againe The least push that is of disgrace or of losse or of sicknes or of pouerty or of paine doth trouble those persons more which haue not patience to beare the same then forty tryalls can moue such as are armed with patience to vndergoe them like a golden shield in their hand to breake the stroke of euery crosse and to saue the heart though the bodie suffer For while the heart is whole all is well A sound spirit saith Salomon will beare his infirmity but a wounded spirit who can sustaine it l Prou. 18.44 Lastly considering the afflictions of the godly are many we that are godly must neuer promise to our selues peace quietnes here but after one trouble we must still looke for another saying with the Poet Finis alterius m●li gradus est futuri the end of one euill is a step towards another Many do deceiue themselues with vaine hopes in this respect They thinke that all shal be well with them that they shal haue the Sunne euermore to shine vpon them if they can but rid themselues out of their present troubles But let them marke it well it shall not be so oh my brethren suppose you were as wise as Salomon as strong as Sampson as warlike as Dauid as meeke as Moses as louely as Ionathan as beautifull as Absalom as rich as Croessus as great as Assuerus as swift as Asahel as free born as Paul as noble as Foestus as big as Goliah as patient as Ioh and as wise as Christ himselfe yet you shall haue troubles still during your liues so long as any of you shall breath with any life As the life of Christ your Lord and maister was a warfare vpon the earth so your liues that are Christians must be a warfare vpon the earth Here we liue in a sea of troubles The Sea is the world the waues are calamities the Church is the ship the anchor is hope the sailes are loue the Saintes are passingers the hauen is heauen and Christ is our Pilot. Now when the Sea can continue without waues the ship without tossings and passengers not be sicke vpon the water then shal the Church of God be without triall but not before Therefore I beseech you beloued in the Lord promise your selues no security in this world but look still for troubles and when you haue slaine a lyon look for a beare and when you haue killed the beare looke for a Goliah and when you haue ouercome Goliah looke for a Saul and when Saul is wounded to death looke for the Philistims that is when you haue ouercome one trouble or vanquished one enemie looke still for an other trouble and for an other enemie and that vntill you die and the spirit returne to God that gaue it Obiect True it is that God hath not appointed to all his children a like measure of troubles but to some more and to some lesse to some after one manner and to some after an other Yet all must haue them all must continue in the hauing of them without starting from his Maiestie For none must look to be more nicely or daintily handled then the very naturall Sonne of God himselfe was who was the onely darling and the best beloued of his Father Yet for all that his whole life here vpon the earth was nothing else but a continuall crosse And therefore let this be our daily meditation that when we haue borne one trouble wee doe prepare our hearts to beare an other euermore to looke for new troubles so long as we liue here in this world like new men And so I leaue the miserie of the righteous and come to his deliuerance from his miserie But the Lord deliuereth him out of them all Here are two points to be stood vpon The person who doth deliuer the righteous and the thing from which the righteous is deliuered But because the time is well neere spent Idfrustra fit per plura quod fieri potest per pauciora That is done in vaine by more things which fewer to perfection brings I will conioyne them both together and from thence deliuer vnto you this doctrine IEHOVAH that there is no trouble which the righteous haue but the Lord doth deliuer them out of the same This you may see by Ieremies words when he saith For the Lord will not forsake for euer but though he send affliction yet wil he haue compassion according to the multitudes of his mercies ô Lord thou hast maintained the cause of my soule and hast redeemed my life m Iam. 3.31.32.58 This you may see by Esayes words whē he saith I will not contend for euer neither will I be alwayes wroth I haue seene his wayes and will heare him I will leade him also and restore comfort vnto him and to those that lament him I create the fruites of the lippes to be peace peace vnto them that are a farre off to them that are neere saith the Lord for I will heale him n Esai 57.16 This you may see by Dauids words when hee sayth Beholde his eye is vpon them that feare him and vpon them that trust in his mercie to deliuer their soules from death and to preserue them in famine o Psalm 33.18 This poore man cryed and the Lord heard him and saued him out of all his troubles p Psal 34.6 The Lord preserueth the simple I was in miscrie and hee saued me Returne vnto thy rest ô my soule for the Lord hath bene beneficiall vnto thee because thou hast deliuered my soule from death mine eyes from teares and my feete from falling I shall walke before the Lord in the land of the liuing q Psalm 116.6 The Lord vpholdeth all that fall and lifteth vp all that are ready to fall The Lord is neere to all that call vpon him yea to all that call vpon him in Truth hee will fulfill the desire of them that feare him Hee also will will heare theyr crye and saue them The Lord preserueth all that loue him r psal 145 14.18 Then they cryed to the Lorde in their trouble and he deliuered them from their distresse and led them forth by the right way that they might goe to a Citie of habitation s psal 107.6.7 This you may see by Pauls words when hee saith But thou hast fully knowne my doctrine maner of liuing purpose faith long suffering loue patience persecutions and afflictions which came vnto me at Antiochia at Iconium and at Lystra which persecutions I suffered but from them all the Lord deliuered me t 2 Tim. 3 10.11 Finally this you may see by many particular examples Abraham was in exile Lot was in captiuity Iob was in bodily extremity See more for this in my Sermons on the second psalme page 24.
