A10931	Certaine sermons preached and penned by Richard Rogers preacher of Weathersfield in Essex, directly tending to these three ends. First, to bring any bad person (that hath not committed the sinne that is vnpardonable) to true conuersion. Secondly, to stablish and settle all such as are conuerted, in faith and repentance. Thirdly, to leade them forward (that are so setled) in the Christian life, to bring foorth the fruite of both. Whereunto are annexed diuers godlie and learned sermons of another reuerend and faithfull seruant of God, Mr. Samuel Wright, Bachelor of Diuinitie, late president of Sidney Colledge in Camebridge, deceased, tending also to the same ends, with diuers particular points in both, profitable and fit for these times.	Rogers, Richard, 1550?-1618.; Wright, Samuel, d. ca. 1612. aut	1612 (1612)	STC 21203; ESTC S116121	188,868	230

to_o call_v the_o righteous_a who_o so_o think_v themselves_o but_o the_o sinner_n to_o repentance_n so_o that_o to_o thirst_n for_o grace_n be_v no_o common_a grace_n of_o god_n and_o according_a to_o the_o price_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n set_v it_o at_o it_o advance_v they_o that_o have_v it_o far_o above_o many_o florisher_n who_o yet_o bear_v no_o small_a show_n of_o religion_n and_o goodness_n and_o this_o i_o do_v advise_o and_o willing_o teach_v and_o publish_v for_o their_o sake_n who_o through_o god_n goodness_n have_v attain_v to_o this_o grace_n in_o some_o good_a measure_n and_o yet_o fear_v that_o they_o be_v of_o all_o other_o most_o miserable_a that_o they_o may_v see_v god_n mercy_n far_o great_a to_o they_o than_o they_o can_v be_v persuade_v that_o it_o be_v but_o while_o they_o thus_o mean_o account_v of_o their_o estate_n which_o be_v right_a happy_a yet_o i_o know_v there_o be_v other_o who_o come_v far_o short_a of_o they_o in_o fervent_a desire_v of_o holy_a and_o heavenly_a thing_n and_o have_v only_o a_o desire_n to_o hear_v preach_v at_o some_o time_n and_o as_o they_o say_v in_o their_o good_a mood_n and_o otherwise_o be_v as_o vain_a and_o unprofitable_a as_o other_o who_o yet_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o think_v themselves_o to_o be_v they_o of_o who_o the_o prophet_n here_o speak_v as_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v too_o common_o that_o they_o apply_v amiss_o comfortable_a scripture_n to_o themselves_o which_o belong_v not_o unto_o they_o and_o they_o to_o who_o they_o belong_v indeed_o put_v they_o from_o they_o as_o fast_o through_o unbelief_n as_o not_o pertain_v to_o they_o i_o will_v therefore_o somewhat_o more_o full_o and_o clear_o set_v down_o my_o mind_n agreeable_a to_o the_o prophet_n about_o this_o thirst_v therefore_o that_o man_n may_v be_v able_a to_o prove_v thirst_v without_o deceive_v themselves_o that_o they_o have_v this_o thirst_v which_o the_o prophet_n require_v to_o the_o which_o so_o precious_a a_o promise_n be_v annex_v of_o obtain_v that_o which_o they_o so_o desire_v we_o must_v understand_v that_o four_o thing_n be_v requisite_a to_o be_v know_v the_o first_o be_v what_o be_v the_o true_a property_n of_o thirst_v second_o the_o cause_n why_o god_n require_v it_o three_o how_o long_o we_o must_v thirst_v four_o how_o we_o may_v best_o come_v to_o it_o concern_v the_o first_o the_o property_n of_o it_o may_v best_o be_v see_v by_o consider_v they_o in_o the_o natural_a thirst_n two_o and_o namely_o these_o two_o the_o one_o that_o he_o which_o thirst_v do_v most_o hearty_o desire_v drink_n so_o as_o he_o can_v be_v quiet_a but_o through_o the_o hope_n of_o it_o the_o other_o which_o also_o be_v consequent_a to_o it_o be_v that_o if_o it_o be_v defer_v he_o can_v do_v nothing_o but_o be_v ready_a to_o faint_a for_o want_v of_o it_o both_o be_v most_o clear_o to_o be_v see_v in_o sampsons_n thirst_n who_o have_v slay_v a_o thousand_o man_n of_o the_o philistines_n with_o the_o jaw_n bone_n of_o a_o ass_n be_v sore_o a_o thirst_n and_o call_v on_o the_o lord_n and_o say_v 15.18_o thou_o have_v give_v this_o great_a deliverance_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o thy_o servant_n and_o now_o shall_v i_o die_v for_o thirst_n mean_v he_o can_v not_o bear_v it_o nor_o do_v any_o thing_n without_o drink_n now_o to_o apply_v these_o to_o the_o spiritual_a thirst_n he_o be_v true_o say_v to_o thirst_n for_o the_o pardon_n of_o his_o sin_n for_o eternal_a life_n or_o any_o grace_n of_o sanctification_n not_o who_o desire_v and_o pray_v for_o they_o but_o yet_o can_v go_v his_o way_n without_o they_o or_o the_o certainty_n and_o assurance_n of_o they_o and_o yet_o can_v be_v well_o content_v but_o he_o who_o faint_v in_o his_o soul_n for_o want_v of_o they_o neither_o can_v go_v about_o any_o thing_n ready_o nor_o in_o kind_n without_o some_o true_a persuasion_n of_o enjoy_v they_o and_o this_o be_v apparent_o to_o be_v see_v in_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n both_o in_o the_o scripture_n mention_v and_o also_o in_o our_o daily_a experience_n of_o such_o as_o we_o live_v with_o scripture_n for_o the_o first_o look_v upon_o david_n example_n when_o he_o desire_v any_o grace_n of_o god_n as_o mercy_n to_o cover_v his_o sin_n the_o liberty_n of_o worship_v he_o among_o god_n people_n the_o presence_n of_o god_n in_o comfort_v his_o soul_n

they_o eye_n to_o see_v the_o bondage_n of_o fear_n doubt_v of_o pardon_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o what_o a_o precious_a treasure_n it_o be_v to_o mortify_v and_o bring_v into_o subjection_n their_o unruly_a passion_n and_o the_o strength_n of_o their_o great_a offence_n what_o long_v i_o say_v to_o be_v deliver_v and_o to_o be_v set_v at_o liberty_n have_v there_o be_v see_v what_o sigh_v and_o unwearied_a desire_v of_o the_o grace_n which_o they_o seek_v have_v there_o be_v in_o they_o which_o affection_n witness_v that_o there_o be_v this_o thirst_v in_o they_o that_o till_o they_o have_v some_o word_n of_o comfort_n from_o god_n who_o only_o can_v do_v it_o they_o can_v in_o no_o wise_n be_v satisfy_v neither_o be_v this_o so_o with_o they_o only_o in_o a_o mood_n and_o for_o a_o season_n for_o so_o a_o wicked_a man_n may_v desire_v heavenly_a thing_n also_o but_o this_o continue_a till_o they_o obtain_v their_o desire_n and_o as_o they_o obtain_v one_o good_a thing_n they_o

in_o god_n people_n condemn_v that_o which_o go_v for_o it_o in_o many_o thirst_v and_o that_o hourly_o and_o flit_a desire_n of_o the_o word_n or_o the_o good_a thing_n which_o be_v in_o it_o which_o

they_o be_v far_o from_o it_o if_o it_o be_v but_o for_o this_o cause_n that_o they_o give_v over_o seek_v before_o they_o have_v find_v the_o grace_n which_o they_o seem_v to_o thirst_v for_o and_o

why_o god_n require_v this_o thirst_v to_o be_v in_o we_o that_o can_v be_v in_o any_o but_o in_o his_o servant_n and_o the_o cause_n be_v special_o three_o the_o first_o see_v it_o must_v be_v

that_o he_o will_v be_v revenge_v upon_o they_o to_o who_o he_o answer_v be_o not_o i_o under_o god_n 50.19_o or_o do_v not_o i_o fear_v god_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v dare_v i_o by_o any_o such_o do_n provoke_v god_n so_o that_o by_o all_o this_o which_o have_v be_v say_v it_o may_v easy_o be_v gather_v that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o rest_v content_v with_o the_o well_o order_v of_o our_o

rest_n from_o persecution_n which_o be_v commend_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o all_o true_a christian_n to_o follow_v they_o in_o and_o to_o teach_v they_o that_o when_o god_n enlarge_v their_o liberty_n and_o multiply_v his_o blessing_n upon_o they_o they_o shall_v not_o as_o the_o man_n of_o the_o world_n do_v eat_v and_o drink_v and_o sleep_v and_o play_v as_o though_o they_o shall_v never_o be_v call_v to_o their_o account_n for_o the_o mispending_a of_o their_o time_n and_o the_o ill_a use_v of_o his_o benefit_n but_o rather_o they_o shall_v know_v first_o that_o all_o god_n good_a blessing_n be_v talent_n commit_v to_o they_o of_o their_o heavenly_a father_n and_o therefore_o that_o they_o shall_v occupy_v they_o careful_o and_o faithful_o till_o he_o come_v to_o demand_v how_o they_o have_v use_v they_o and_o what_o good_a they_o have_v do_v with_o they_o and_o second_o that_o they_o shall_v consider_v that_o it_o be_v the_o very_a end_n why_o god_n have_v free_v they_o from_o many_o great_a calamity_n and_o set_v they_o at_o more_o liberty_n then_o sundry_a other_o of_o their_o brethren_n to_o the_o end_n that_o they_o may_v thus_o honour_v he_o with_o

have_v give_v he_o rest_n from_o his_o enemy_n on_o every_o side_n he_o can_v not_o tell_v how_o he_o may_v sufficient_o rest_v and_o content_v himself_o in_o show_v himself_o thankful_a and_o therefore_o resolve_v to_o build_v a_o house_n even_o a_o temple_n to_o the_o lord_n for_o all_o the_o people_n to_o worship_v he_o in_o and_o all_o such_o as_o have_v due_o consider_v and_o

the_o whole_a course_n of_o their_o life_n it_o follow_v in_o the_o next_o word_n former_a that_o as_o they_o walk_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n so_o do_v they_o also_o in_o the_o comfort_n

the_o first_o translation_n the_o three_o use_n that_o they_o make_v of_o their_o peace_n be_v set_v down_o namely_o that_o they_o pass_v their_o day_n and_o walk_v through_o they_o comfortable_o and_o in_o joy_n and_o gladness_n of_o heart_n and_o in_o these_o word_n note_v two_o thing_n the_o one_o be_v the_o use_n they_o make_v of_o their_o peace_n namely_o that_o they_o live_v comfortable_o the_o other_o how_o or_o by_o what_o mean_v they_o do_v so_o for_o we_o know_v that_o all_o such_o as_o live_v in_o peace_n and_o have_v rest_n from_o persecution_n do_v not_o for_o
