in lying to them But wilt thou receiue O thou sorcerer be thou wise man or wise woman alas we call them wise but they are fooles for they destroy their owne soules Wilt thou receiue I say thy full fraught at once and the totall summe of all thine infelicities thou hast no interest in God no society with the Saints no fellowship with the beleeuers no parte or portion in any the good creatures of God ful of terror and astonishment is that saying of Saint Iohn Reu. 21. 8 the fearefull and vnbeleeuing and abhominable and murtherers and sorcerers and all lyers shall haue their portion in the lake that burnes with fire and brimstone Cursing and swearing I will but point at and yet are these sinnes little inferiour to that which we haue already spoken of but what dare not prophane wretches commit when they may scape with immunity of punishment our common wealth looks not to the weight of these sins nor doth the magistrate care to shew his authority in suppressing them which makes these sinnes to walke in the high streetes vncontrowled What heart is so stony like the Adamant that would not bleede to thinke vpon or what eare would not tingle to heare the wicked bannings and blasphemous oathes of many a desperat wretch heart bloud nailes wounds flesh euen by all the parts of his glorious body as if they would crucifie Christ anew like the Iewes Who is it among vs that is not ginen in some measure to this sinne olde and young and all Children that haue not learned to go haue learned to sweare and is this to loue God nay is not this to hate God Let vs leaue this sinne betimes or God wil haue his day with thee too O thou swearer The wise man hath spoken it that the Ecclus. 23. 11. plague shall neuer depart from the house of the swearer The son of a certaine Israelitish woman for blaspheming the name of the Lord and Leui. 24. 14 for cursing was stoned to death without the host Againe if this loue of God be planted The fourth commandement in thy heart thou wilt keepe his Sabbaoth thou wilt remember that as a principall duty among the rest thou wilt both rest thy selfe and cause thy family al that belongs vnto thee to cease from labor and to sanctifie the same Thou must vppon that daye doe holy things for it is the Lords holy day thou must not doe thine owne waies nor seeke thine owne will nor speake a vaine worde that day must be bestowed vppon exercises of holinesse as in hearing the word read and preached in praying receiuing the Sacraments singing of Psalmes godly conference and meditation Thou must come to the church the house of prayer keep my Sabbaoth and reuerence my sanctuary There you are tied to come and when you come come with reuerence as you cary with you your holy day cloathes so must you carry with you your holiday affections This Sabbaoth is called in Esay the Lord Esa 58. 13. his day but if you follow vanities vpon that day or do your owne vnnecessary businesse on that day you make it your owne day and not the Lords day and so you honour not God but you honour your selues as Ely honoured his children The Lord hath giuen vs six whole daies and hath reserued onely one for himselfe and yet we would haue that from him too at the least we take the greatest part of that from him and doe bestow it vppon our lustes If we offer vnto the Lorde the morning sacrifice yet we are not ready to giue him the euening incense where God requireth both and will not be serued by peecemeales If we giue God but a peece of the day wee are like the vnnaturall mother who sayde of the child let it be neither hirs nor min 1. ●in 3. ●● but ●et it be diuided so we seeme to part stakes as it were with the Lord by diuiding the Sabbaoth day making it neither Gods wholy nor our owne This is the last Commaundement of the first table but it must be chiefe in request no commaundement carrieth with it such a charge as this for it runnes with a speciall Memento Remember that thou keepe holy the Sabbaoth day as who should say in any case see thou obserue this commaundement for if thon keepest this thou keepest all For in comming to church to heare and learne the word of God to praise and glorifie him thou art taught thy whole duetie both howe to obserue this and all the rest The second table expresseth the dutie The fifth commandement of one man towardes another it sheweth what loue thou oughtest to beare thy neighbour The principall duetie braunching out of this loue is the duetie to parents If thou loue God thou wilt also loue thy parents thou hast one father in heauen who must especially be honoured in manner as thou hast heard thou hast an other father in earth and God thy father in heauen commaunds thee to honour him that is thy father on earth And this honour hath God imprinted in his name by giuing them his owne name the name of father He is thy father therfore honour him as God gaue our fathers their beginning so hast thou from thy father thy beginning it hath pleased God to vse them as instruments to beget vs. This loue contaynes in it honour feare obedience and reliefe We read of the young stork that he carrieth the olde one vpon his backe when for age he is not able to flie This is recorded of the storke to condemne vs men that will not be careful to releeue our parents as they were carefull to releeue vs. God and nature and reason common sence do call vpon vs for this duty to parents therfore I wil not discourse further vpon it And in this commandement thou art not onely called vppon to be dutiful to thy naturall parents but also to the fathers of thy countrey or of our houses the aged and our fathers in Christ and vnto them that performe this honour a speciall blessing is promised which is long life Further if thou loue thy neighbour thou wilt euer bee doing him good and not euil all the dayes of thy life Thou wilt procure all the meanes thou canst to worke his safety thou wilt defend him from iniury offered him by others and if thou defend him thou wilt much lesse seeke to hurt him and if thou wilt not hurt him much lesse wilt thou maliciously proceede to kill him for all this is charged in that commandement Thou shalt not kill As the loue of God appeared in creating vs so it appeareth in preseruing vs God that gaue life will haue vs preserue life The Lorde will not haue thee so much Leui. 19. 17 Mat. 5. 22. as to be angry with thy brother vnaduisedly nor yet to haue him nor will he haue thee to mocke or quarrel with thy neighbour Whosoeuer sayeth vnto his brother Rachah
