an awfull reuerence of Gods Maiestie for the sanctifying of the Lords Sabbaths and for the sincere preaching of the Gospell of Christ Iesus It is my comfort to see such a happy and friendly aspect of so many principall Planets together in one place so many Gentlemen and Magistrates Giue me leaue I beseech you to wash my hands in innoceny to free mine owne soule in the sight of God and to speake a few words to stirre vp your minds and to quicken your affections in the behalfe of the Lords worship and seruice Think not your dwellings safe enough without the house of God sing not at home with your owne Muses absent not your selues from the Lords sanctuary as though Iorden lay between you and the Church say not as the women did in Esay We will eate our owne bread and we are our owne garments The Sabbath day is the sanctified day of the Lords rest If you haue any loue to that hidden Manna which perisheth not If you haue any desire to those fruits of the tree of life in the midest of the Paradise of God If you haue any sincere affection to those white garments washt in the blood of Christ If you desire to shine hereafter as the stars in the firmament rather then to be but as a Glow-worme in this world then helpe to bring the Lords Sabbaths to rest they are shamefullie troubled disquieted the common daies of the weeke are happier in their seasons then the Lords Sabbaths The sanctifying of the Sabbath is one of those vnchangeable lawes which God himselfe wrote with his owne finger Resolue therefore as this Gentleman did to keepe it holy God did not ordeine it for carnall pleasures or that we should giue liberty on that day to our sensuall affections But if you will not regard and obey this then behold the dispersion and dissipation of your posterity vpon the face of the earth behold the ruine vastation and desolation of your houses behold the detestation of your names behold the hissing clapping at your death and departure among your neighbours The want of the word of God is the want of your credit and prosperity the want of the word of God is the want of your true comfort peace and happinesse the want of the word of God will be the want of your saluation if in this open and free time of the Gospel you depriue your selues through wilfull neglect of that benefit which others receiue by it Thus you haue heard of this Gentlemans life I must now speak a word or two of the maner of his death When the shadow of death was vpon his eies his senses began to faint and faile yet this was obserueable that in the time of prayer his senses were quickned and againe reuiued so that he was able to lift vp his hands and his eies at euery Petition and to say Amen to euery conclusion This was also worthy regard that the last words he spake were these O Lord Iesus haue mercy vpon me forgiue me my sins O Lord Iesus receiue my spirit And presently after his breath and his spirit departed So that I may say of him as Ierome reporteth of Nepotians quiet and peaceable departure from this life Non intelligeres illum emor● sed emigrare Thou wouldst not thinke he died but rather that hee walked forth And this was the manner of his death I must not be tedious in regard of the present businesse Time at this time must haue power ouer ●y words I will therfore conclude and make an end as I did begin O Lord teach vs to number our daies t●at wee may apply our hearts vnto wisedome Amen FINIS
