euerlasting torment whilest Legions of deuils with horride vociferations muster about thee like croking Rauens about some dead carkasse wayting to carry thee O then thou Vsurer and thou that grindest the Faces of the pore thy gold cannot ransome thee then thou mighty man that wrackest the widdow and circumuents the orphan of his successiue right thy honour cannot priuiledge thee then thou murtherer adulterer and blasphemer thy colourable excuses will not purge thee then ô thou vncharitable churle who neuer knewest that Nil diues habet de diuitijs nisi quod ab illo postulat pauper A rich man treafures vp no more of his riches then that hee contributes in almes thou that neuer imbracedst the counsel of that reuerend * Ambrose Father who cryes Pasce fame morientem quisquis pascendo seruare poteris si non paucris fame occidisti Feed him that dyes for hunger whosoeuer thou art that canst preserue and wilt not thou standest guilty of famishing then I say in that day shalt thou pine in perdition then ô thou luxurious Epicure that through the fiue senses which are the Cinque-ports or rather sinneports of thy soule gulpest downe delightfull sinne like water they will be to thee like the Angels booke sweet in thy mouth but bitter in thy bowels then ô thou gorbellied Mammonist that piles vp and congesteth huge masses of refulgent earth purchased by all vnconscionable courses yet cariest nothing with thee Nisiparna quod vrna capit but a Coffin and a Winding-sheet thy faire pretences will bee like characters drawne vpon the sands or arrowes shot vp to heauen-ward they cannot release thee from Satans inexpiable seruitude Then ô thou Canker-worme of Common-wealths thou monster of man thou that puttest out the eye of Iustice with bribes or so closely shuts it that the clamorous cry of the poore mans case cannot open it thou that makest the Lawe a nose of waxe to turne and fashion it to thine owne priuate end to the vtter disgrace of conscionable Iustice and to the lamentable subuersion of many an honest and vpright cause thy quirkes dilatorie demurres conueyances and conniuences cannot acquit thee but thou shalt bee remooued with the Writ Corpus cum causa into the lowest and darkest dungcon of damnation No no the Lord of heauen and earth who is good in infinitnesse and infinit in goodnesse will winnow garble and sanne his corne the choyce wheate hee will treasure vp in the garners of eternall felicity but the chaffe and darnell must be burnt with vnquenchable fire There must you languish in torments vnrelaxable there must you frie and fieeze in one selfe-furnace there must you liue in implacable and tenebrous fire which as 2 August de ciu t●dei Austin defines shall giue no light to comfort you Then will you wish though then too late that you had beene created loathsome Toades or abhorred Serpents that your miseries might haue clos'd vp with your liues but you must be dying perpetually yet neuer dye and which enuirons mee with a trembling terror when you haue languisht in vnexpressible agonies tortures gnashings and horrid howlings ten thousand millions of yeares yet shall you be as far from the end of your torments as you were at the beginning A confused modell misty figure of hell haue wee conglomerate in our fancy drowsily dreaming that it is a place vnder earth vncessātly Aetna-like vomiting sulphurious flames but we neuer pursue the meditation thereof so close as to consider what a thing it is to liue there eternally for this adiunct Eternall intimates such infinitenesse as neither thought can attract or supposition apprehend and further to amplifie it with the words of a woorthy writer Though all the men that euer haue or shal be created were Briareus like hundred-handed and shoulde all at once take pennes in their hundred hands and should doe nothing else in ten hundred thousand millions of yeares but summe vp in figures as many hundred thousand millions as they could yet neuer could they reduce to a totall or confine within number this tri-sillabled word Eternall Can any Christian then vpon due consideration hereof forbeare to prostrate himselfe with flexible humility before the glorious throne of grace there with flouds of vnfained teares repentantly abiure and disclaime the allurements of carnal corruption the painted pleasures of the world and the bitter-sweetnesse of sinne which is the deaths-wound of his soule for Peccatum in animo quasi vulnus in corpore a weapon wounds the body and sinne the soule for what profits it a man to winne the whole worlde and loose his owne soule The soundest method therefore to preuent our exclusion from the throne of Gods mercy is to imagine we still see him in his Iustice present whatsoeuer or whensoeuer we intend or attempt any blacke deseigne let vs but adumbragiously fancy as one hath it the firmament to be his face the all-seeing Sunne his right eye the Moone his left the winds the breath of his Nostrels the Lightning and Tempests the troubled action of his ire the Frost and Snow his frownes that the heauen is his Throne the earth his Foot-stoole that he is all in all things that his omnipresence filles all the vacuities of heauen earth and sea that by his power hee can vngirdle and let loose the seas impetuous waues to ore-whelme and bury this lower Vniuerse in their vast wombes in a moment that hee can let drop the blew Canopy which hath nothing aboue it whereto it is perpendicularly knit or hurle thunder-bolts through the tumerous cloudes to pash vs praecipitate through the center into the lowest dungeon of hell These allusiue cogitations of Gods omnipotent maiesty wil curb in and snafflle vs from rushing into damnable actions if we vnremouably seate them in our memories Make then a couenant with thine eies and heart ô man least they doate on earthly drosse surfet on the sugred pils of poysonous vanities and so insensibly hurle downe thy better part into the gulph of irreuocable damnation if not for thy selfe sake yet iniure not thy Creator who hath drawne thee by his owne 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or Patterne moulded thee in his owne forme and to make thee eternally happy hath infus'd his own essence into
