deliuer vs from that dampnation which through our sinnes we doe deserue eueÌ„ by that recompence which he hath already made for vs in his owne most bitter death and bloody passion It is the blood of Christ which through the eternall spirite offered him selfe without spotte to God which purgeth our conscience from dead workes to serue the liuinge god It is Iesus Christ who hath appeared once to take away sinne by the sacrifice of him selfe Heb. 9. Now as the same Apostle sayth Heb. 10. Where the remission of these thinges is there is no more offeringe for sinne and I say where the recompence for sinne is thus made by Iesus there is no more recompence to be made for sinne How dare Fowler then teache vs to require to haue a firme purpose in vs to make our selues a recompence for this which Iesus only both coulde doe and also did fully sufficiently for vs What is this else but to aske of Iesus a firme purpose to renounce and forsake him It is nothing else verely but to forsake the redemption which we haue in Christ Iesus to repose our selues vppon our owne making of recompeÌ„ce to pray as Fowler teacheth But what Prophet what Apostle or Sainct did euer so pray or taught vs to pray That which none hath done euer Fowler now dare do Dauid prayeth humbly to the Lorde in his Psalter that he will forget and forgiue the faults of his youth Psal. 25. And he reioyceth that the Lord hath forgiuen him his sins that he hath forgotten theÌ„ that he hath remoued them from him as farre as is the East from the West that he hath throwne them into the bottome of the sea Psal. 103. Dauid prayeth not to haue a firme purpose to make recompence for his sins but resteth in the blessed remission of his sinnes giuen him by God of his free goodnes mercy through Christ Iesus And againe Dauid in the Psal. 31. confesseth of him selfe this I acknowledge my sinne vnto thee neither hide I mine iniquitie for I thought I will confesse against my selfe my wickednes vnto the Lorde and thou hast forgiueÌ„ the iniquity of my sinne Thus doth Dauid in his Psalter singe an other manner of Psalme then Fowler doth in this his Psalter For the true Prophet Dauid prayeth for forgiuenesse of his sinnes and reioyceth in this that God did forgiue him which is such a thinge to be desired that Dauid sayth immediatly in that Psalme Therefore shall euery one that is godly make his prayer vnto thee c. What accompt then shall we make of Fowler who prayeth not for this but cleane contrarie to this for he will haue a firme purpose to make him selfe a recompence for his owne sinnes Surely neither is this prayer of Fowlers like to that of the godly nor him self godly in this praying For if euery one that is godly prayeth for forgiuenes of sins Fowler is vngodly who prayeth not for forgiuenesse but for a firme purpose to make a recompense for his sinnes The holy children of God are all most holily taught by Iesus our very Iesus and Sauior to pray Forgiue vs our trespasses This is an other manner of thing then to pray for a firme purpose to make our selues recoÌ„pense for our sinnes Simple is he that will forsake that forme of prayer which Iesus Christe hath taught and holy Dauid vsed in his Psalter Dauid I say who was that sweete Psalme singer of Israell 2. Sam. 23. will follow this faithles fiddle of Fowler Simple is he that will forsake that recompense which Iesus Christ hath once made for him trust to a recompense of his own making This were fowly to fal from Christ to runne headlong into the dungeon of despaire Al the Angels heauenly spirites in heauen all the men in earth can not make such a recompense Onely Iesus Christ Iesus I say alone was able to make and did make the full recompense for sinne did it fully for the faithfull therfore he hath founde euerlasting saluation for them which shal be saued as the Apostle sayth Heb. 9. which truely he could not haue gayned vnles the recompense which he made for them had bene fully sufficient Now to take this work of making recompense into our owne handes is either to deny or to dout of the fulnes of that recompense which Iesus Christ hath made for vs and this to doe is to robbe Iesus of his glory and the robber doth robbe him selfe of comfort and saluation in Christ so doth but deceaue him self and double his owne sinne damnation Yet thus woulde M. Fowler haue his Reader to pray to Iesu to haue not onely his purpose but his firme purpose to make him self recompense for his sinnes which is to robbe Iesus of his glory to be him self a deceit to him self to make his way to most spedy certein damnation If M. Fowler mistrust the recompense which Iesus hath made and doth desire to make his owne recompense for his owne sinnes then doth he not beleue that Iesus hath made either any recompense at al or not a full recompeÌ„se for his sinnes which is a point of plaine infidelitie Such as floweth in the Romish Catholike Church This peece of poyson lyeth in this Psalter of M. Fowlers euen this robbing of Iesus in M. Fowler his Psalter of Iesus An other petition followteh containing these wordes Graunt me the seuen giftes of the holy Ghost the eyght beatitudes the foure Cardinall vertues and in receiuing of the Sacrament deuoutly to dispose me M. Fowler delighteth him selfe greately in sett numbers and yet he is no good Arithmetrician When he speaketh of the seuen gifts of the holy ghost he should haue tolde his Reader what they be and where he learned that there be but seuen Surely we knowe that there are many more giftes then seauen which the holy Ghost doth giue to the elect children of God I say many more Likewise I saye of the Beatitudes of which he speaketh as though there were no more but eight It may be that I am so ignorant that I doe not know to what places of the holy scriptures M. Fowler had his eye in these his set numbers Therefore let him name the places him selfe proue to vs if he can either that they do containe these precise numbers of seauen or eight and no more or that there be no more giftes of the holy Ghost but seauen nor more beatitudes but eight In the meane tyme the Christian Reader which loueth with godly reuerence to searche the Scriptures in searchinge shall finde that there be many more giftes of the holy Ghost then seauen many more beatitudes then eight Let not him therfore be thus abridged of his blessednes by Maister Fowler if he doe loue sanctification and blessednes M. Fowler seemeth also to haue some smattering of Philosophy in telling vs of foure cardinal vertues But some of his Maisters in teaching vertues haue spoken of the
