A14095 A discovery of D. Iacksons vanitie. Or A perspective glasse, wherby the admirers of D. Iacksons profound discourses, may see the vanitie and weaknesse of them, in sundry passages, and especially so farre as they tende to the undermining of the doctrine hitherto received. Written by William Twisse, Doctor of Divinitie, as they say, from whom the copie came to the presse Twisse, William, 1578?-1646. 1631 (1631) STC 24402; ESTC S118777 563,516 728

heathen_a who_o do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o know_v god_n nor_o ever_o be_v acquaint_v with_o his_o word_n 6._o and_o gospel_n chap._n xiiii_o of_o god_n infinite_a love_n to_o mankind_n your_o theme_n

love_n of_o god_n towards_o all_o and_o every_o one_o for_o by_o the_o last_o clause_n of_o the_o first_o section_n it_o appear_v that_o you_o conceive_v the_o notion_n of_o love_n infinite_a to_o bespeak_v as_o much_o namely_o that_o therefore_o it_o must_v extend_v to_o all_o and_o every_o one_o and_o this_o reason_n of_o you_o be_v soon_o dispatch_v in_o less_o than_o two_o line_n all_o the_o rest_n of_o your_o first_o section_n be_v wide_a enough_o from_o the_o mark_v you_o shoot_v at_o and_o yet_o unsound_a enough_o in_o many_o particular_n first_o you_o maintain_v that_o blessing_n and_o curse_v both_o can_v proceed_v out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o god_n second_o that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o be_v to_o all_o and_o therefore_o love_v all_o three_o that_o in_o as_o much_o as_o he_o give_v be_v to_o all_o he_o love_v all_o for_o he_o hate_v nothing_o that_o he_o have_v make_v all_o these_o i_o will_v examine_v in_o their_o order_n touch_v the_o first_o you_o begin_v with_o the_o authority_n of_o st._n james_n out_o of_o the_o same_o mouth_n proceed_v blessing_n and_o curse_v my_o 10._o brethren_n these_o thing_n ought_v not_o so_o to_o be_v and_o he_o do_v illustrate_v it_o with_o similitude_n draw_v from_o natural_a thing_n as_o from_o a_o fountain_n that_o send_v not_o forth_o at_o the_o same_o place_n sweet_a water_n and_o bitter_a and_o from_o

these_o reason_n of_o the_o apostle_n as_o you_o call_v they_o which_o indeed_o be_v but_o illustration_n have_v more_o force_n to_o prevail_v than_o the_o apostle_n authority_n for_o thus_o you_o write_v if_o the_o apostle_n authority_n can_v not_o persuade_v we_o to_o believe_v his_o reason_n will_v enforce_v we_o to_o grant_v that_o the_o issue_n of_o blessing_n and_o curse_v from_o one_o and_o though_o same_o mouth_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n and_o argue_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n to_o be_v much_o out_o of_o tune_n herein_o i_o be_o not_o of_o your_o mind_n i_o be_o rather_o of_o abraham_n mind_n if_o they_o will_v not_o believe_v moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n 3._o neither_o will_v they_o believe_v though_o a_o man_n rise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o yet_o a_o man_n rise_v from_o the_o dead_a be_v as_o fit_a to_o make_v faith_n of_o the_o state_n of_o the_o dead_a in_o my_o judgement_n as_o these_o illustration_n seclude_v s._n james_n his_o authority_n be_v of_o force_n to_o prove_v that_o it_o become_v not_o a_o man_n out_o of_o the_o same_o mouth_n to_o send_v forth_o blessing_n and_o curse_v for_o fountain_n send_v forth_o water_n and_o tree_n bring_v forth_o fruit_n by_o necessity_n of_o nature_n but_o man_n speak_v by_o freedom_n of_o will_n and_o as_o a_o man_n may_v be_v induce_v to_o curse_v so_o in_o case_n he_o curse_v and_o be_v challenge_v for_o it_o by_o a_o brother_n he_o may_v answer_v as_o david_n do_v unto_o his_o brethren_n and_o what_o have_v i_o 19_o now_o do_v be_v there_o not_o a_o cause_n for_o if_o all_o curse_n be_v causeless_a solomon_n will_v never_o have_v tell_v we_o that_o the_o curse_n which_o be_v 2._o causeless_a shall_v not_o come_v i_o never_o yet_o read_v of_o any_o that_o censure_v

book_n of_o judge_n the_o angel_n of_o the_o lord_n bid_v the_o people_n curse_n meroz_n curse_v you_o meroz_n say_v the_o angel_n of_o the_o lord_n curse_v you_o bitter_o 23_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o meroz_n because_o they_o come_v not_o to_o help_v the_o lord_n to_o help_v the_o lord_n against_o the_o mighty_a and_o as_o curse_n may_v have_v their_o due_a course_n so_o blessing_n may_v be_v

the_o stubbornness_n of_o my_o heart_n herein_o he_o do_v but_o add_v drunkenness_n unto_o thirst_n and_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o be_v merciful_a to_o that_o man_n and_o if_o some_o do_v sin_n in_o blessing_n themselves_o how_o much_o more_o do_v other_o sin_n in_o blessing_n idol_n we_o well_o know_v that_o 3._o out_o of_o our_o saviour_n mouth_n come_v forth_o curse_n sometime_o as_o well_o as_o blessing_n at_o other_o time_n for_o he_o curse_v the_o figtree_n and_o 19_o anon_o it_o wither_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v fit_a to_o distinguish_v between_o curse_n and_o curse_n yea_o and_o between_o blessing_n and_o blessing_n lest_o otherwise_o we_o confound_v truth_n and_o error_n good_a and_o evil_a and_o to_o this_o purpose_n i_o think_v fit_a to_o distinguish_v between_o curse_v as_o it_o signify_v only_o the_o pronounce_v of_o a_o curse_n and_o curse_v as_o it_o signify_v curse_v speak_v and_o s._n james_n as_o i_o take_v it_o speak_v of_o curse_v as_o it_o signify_v curse_v

curse_v the_o figtree_n and_o elisha_n the_o child_n that_o mock_v he_o move_v undoubted_o thereunto_o extraordinary_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n like_a as_o when_o profane_a person_n bless_v themselves_o and_o superstitious_a person_n bless_v their_o idol_n their_o action_n be_v unholy_a enough_o and_o do_v bring_v the_o curse_n of_o god_n upon_o their_o person_n for_o they_o shall_v multiply_v sorrow_n upon_o 4._o their_o head_n that_o run_v after_o other_o god_n now_o s._n james_n use_v fit_a similitude_n to_o illustrate_v this_o duty_n of_o bless_a speak_v and_o to_o move_v they_o to_o refrain_v from_o curse_a speak_v consider_v that_o god_n spirit_n be_v as_o a_o fountain_n of_o holy_a life_n in_o their_o heart_n and_o therefore_o they_o shall_v send_v forth_o nothing_o but_o sweet_a water_n not_o indifferent_o either_o sweet_a water_n only_o or_o bitter_a water_n only_o but_o sweet_a water_n and_o that_o only_o and_o see_v they_o be_v tree_n of_o righteousness_n of_o the_o lord_n plant_v that_o he_o may_v be_v glorify_v 4_o therefore_o to_o bring_v forth_o nothing_o but_o good_a fruit_n but_o that_o of_o divers_a kind_n like_v unto_o that_o tree_n of_o life_n that_o bear_v twelve_o manner_n of_o 2._o fruit_n and_o give_v fruit_n every_o month_n and_o yet_o if_o sometime_o they_o break_v forth_o into_o curse_a speak_v it_o be_v the_o less_o strong_a consider_v they_o be_v in_o part_n carnal_a 23_o and_o but_o in_o part_n spiritual_a and_o therefore_o in_o part_n out_o of_o tune_n though_o nothing_o like_o so_o much_o as_o they_o be_v in_o state_n of_o nature_n when_o they_o send_v forth_o nothing_o but_o bitter_a water_n neither_o blessing_n their_o brethren_n nor_o god_n no_o nor_o themselves_o neither_o not_o one_o of_o these_o instance_n say_v you_o but_o hold_v as_o true_o in_o god_n as_o in_o man_n he_o be_v the_o tree_n of_o life_n can_v bring_v forth_o death_n to_o cause_v the_o vine_n to_o bring_v forth_o fig_n be_v not_o so_o hard_a a_o point_n of_o husbandry_n as_o to_o derive_v cursednesse_n or_o misery_n from_o the_o fountain_n of_o bliss_n for_o a_o spring_n to_o send_v forth_o water_n sweet_a and_o bitter_a fresh_a and_o salt_n be_v more_o compatible_a then_o for_o hateful_a and_o harmful_a intention_n to_o have_v any_o issue_n from_o pure_a love_n but_o god_n be_v love_n yea_o love_n be_v his_o essence_n as_o
