evill against them in spoiling them of their goods and substance and in killing of their bodies Wherefore as hath beene said if we offend in the like if in greater we must looke to receiue the like reward So that if our hearts bee open to all manner of vngodly thoughts and wicked lusts our tongues prepared to vnrighteous speech out hands set to rob whether it bee the goods of priuate or publike persons if wee kill not the bodies but the soules of men let vs learne this lesson and dread this severe punishment For the wrath of God for such things commeth on the children of vnbeliefe For such things saith the Apostle not onely for the same Enoch prophesied of such saying behold the Lorde commeth with thousands of his Saints to giue iudgement against all men and to rebuke all the vngodly among them of all their wicked deedes which they haue vngodly committed and of all of their cruel speakings which wicked sinners haue spoken against him The Lord will come to iudge the wicked for their deedes for their cruell speaking and for their thoughts the fountaine and spring thereof This was prophecied by Enoch before the floud and then performed Iude applyeth it as spoken against all the wicked Paul vseth this execration If any loue not the Lord Iesus let him be accursed Maran atha The Syriake words signifie the Lord commeth and are the first words of that prophecie of Enoch adenouncing of that severe punishment which shall come on the head of al sinners as certainly as the Lord shall come to iudgement Here that we deceiue not our selues in iudging of this loue to Christ our Saviour hath set downe a ready note to discerne it by If yee loue me keepe my commandements I come not to the particular note of Pastours which our Saviour hath laid down to be this If thou loue me feed my sheep if thou loue me feed c. so earnest so tender so careful a charge noted in this repetition would be deeply considered of them that are in that place if there bee any loue in them if there be not thē I pronounce not this curse against Non residents but Saint Paul doth If any man loue not the Lord Iesus as these do not which feed not the lambes and sheepe of Christ let them bee accursed Maran●…atha Here also all hypocriticall Christians are warned to consider their waies which content themselues with an outward profession and thinke themselues safe while they remaine in the visible Church But our Saviour sheweth that hee is the vine wee the branches his father the husbandman so that each branch though he be in the outward barke fastned to the vine yet if he bring not forth fruit hee is cut off and cast into the fire It profitteth him nothing to haue beene in the vine if he be fruitlesse But if these speeches of Enoch Iude Paul and our Saviour doe the lesse touch vs because they be farre of and so wee pamper our selues esteeming the pleasures of sinne for a season greater treasures then the kingdome of heaven let vs consider the next point 2 That is neere When Ionah sent to the Ninivites cryed in their streets yet 40 daies and Niniveh shall bee aestroyed the people of Niniveh beleeved God proclaimed a fast and put on sackcloth from the greatest of them vnto the least I haue not the function of Ionah but the commission of Iohn Baptist to tell you that even now the axe is laid to the root of the tree and every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is cut downe and cast into the fire How neere or farre of it is to every one can I not tell yet I am certaine that seeing the axe is even now laid to the root that it is not long to any Wherefore while it is yet called to daie let vs not harden our hearts while it is light let vs walke in the light while it is daie let vs worke the night commeth where in we shall not worke before that day come which shall make an ende of all daies For it is assuredly pronounced to be neere vpon all the wicked This is spoken not only of the particular iudgment of each man but also of that daie so called by an excellencie the day of iudgement which GOD hath appointed herein to iudge the world by Christ as Paule taught the Thessalonians which before GOD with whom a thousand yeares are but as one day is no doubt neere though as men count far and neere I knowe not whether it be far or neere It is not for vs to knowe the times and seasons which the Father hath placed in his own power He speaketh not only of the certaine houre but of the times in generall so that there is cōdemned the rash presumption of those which take vpon them to deliver the yeare and season of the Lords comming to iudgement As that fond Prophecie of Eliah not the Prophet but a Ribbin of the Iewes who hath written that the world should endure but 6000. yeares which is a Talmudicall dreame worthy that sincke of the Iewish filthinesse which yet neither the Iewes from whom it came do beleeue for thē must they beleeue that their Messias is come which they deny The world hauing cōtinued 5530 yeares So much the more blame worthy are some Christian Chronicles which haue alleaged this dreame as a thing of some weight and that is worse haue fathered it vpon Eliah Wherefore whether that great day bee farre or neere off I knowe not neither will I deny that it is neere for it may be neerer then any imagine For it shall come as a theefe in the night And although mockers scorners do laugh at it yet shall they once no doubt feele it The particular iudgement of the wicked as it was then said to be neere so may we say that of al such it is so now For though there were no more but the generall administration of things on the earth wee are thereby sufficiently taught that man which is borne of a woma hath but a short time to liue c. which if it may be truely affirmed of all men then how much more of the wicked which shal not liue out halfe their days Who thought that Sena cherib in all his power should haue beene murthered of his owne children in the temple of his owne Gods who would haue beleeved that Baltasar in the middest of his banquet should haue receiued his sentence of destruction and so suddainely to be slaine by the conspiracie of his subiects The rich man whose land was very fruitfull even then when he bad his soule take her rest had her taken from him There is none of vs hath greater Charter of his life then Senacherib Baltasar or the Rich man Sith that each particular mans iudgement cannot bee farre of and may be very neere for the old cannot liue long the young may die very quickly Let vs remember to
