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 fall_v away_o neither_o ought_v we_o to_o be_v discourage_v at_o it_o if_o we_o have_v true_a faith_n ourselves_o as_o though_o we_o must_v needs_o fall_v away_o too_o for_o such_o be_v never_o

with_o pleasure_n and_o profit_n let_v we_o bewail_v they_o whether_o they_o be_v minister_n or_o people_n many_o learned_a man_n have_v be_v such_o who_o have_v the_o gospel_n in_o a_o high_a

when_o god_n have_v do_v so_o much_o for_o they_o as_o to_o reveal_v himself_o so_o far_o unto_o they_o all_o this_o danger_n they_o be_v come_v to_o see_v they_o do_v not_o nourish_v their_o sparkle_n of_o good_a desire_n which_o give_v good_a hope_n but_o they_o quench_v they_o and_o suffer_v they_o go_v out_o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o wise_a merchant_n go_v by_o and_o by_o and_o sell_v all_o that_o he_o have_v and_o buy_v that_o precious_a pearl_n and_o here_o i_o will_v pass_v to_o the_o three_o point_n and_o show_v how_o the_o good_a hearer_n be_v herein_o like_a to_o the_o merchant_n man_n as_o he_o have_v resemble_v he_o in_o both_o the_o former_a that_o be_v in_o seek_v good_a pearl_n and_o find_v one_o of_o great_a price_n now_o because_o the_o excellency_n of_o this_o pearl_n do_v yet_o more_o appear_v hereby_o that_o this_o hearer_n do_v as_o the_o merchant_n man_n go_v and_o sell_v all_o that_o he_o have_v &_o buy_v this_o pearl_n i_o will_v first_o speak_v of_o this_o last_o action_n of_o he_o and_o then_o make_v use_n of_o it_o it_o be_v say_v he_o go_v his_o way_n and_o sell_v all_o that_o he_o have_v and_o buy_v that_o pearl_n this_o go_v away_o first_o show_v that_o he_o do_v not_o stand_v still_o to_o muse_v doubt_v and_o linger_v out_o the_o time_n but_o as_o a_o wise_a merchant_n so_o soon_o as_o he_o see_v a_o pennyworth_n to_o be_v buy_v which_o may_v enrich_v he_o he_o leave_v all_o other_o thing_n and_o set_v himself_o about_o that_o business_n delay_n and_o this_o teach_v we_o that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o linger_v nor_o defer_v the_o time_n when_o god_n reveil_v any_o excellent_a fruit_n or_o benefit_n that_o the_o gospel_n bring_v unto_o we_o but_o present_o go_v our_o way_n and_o endeavour_n to_o make_v it_o our_o own_o but_o how_o rare_o shall_v we_o find_v this_o to_o be_v do_v when_o for_o the_o most_o part_n every_o where_o man_n practise_v the_o contrary_a many_o see_v and_o will_v confess_v that_o there_o be_v in_o the_o gospel_n most_o precious_a treasure_n and_o worthy_a to_o be_v embrace_v but_o they_o think_v the_o time_n too_o soon_o as_o yet_o to_o go_v about_o it_o when_o they_o have_v follow_v their_o other_o pleasure_n and_o delight_n in_o their_o youthful_a day_n or_o when_o they_o have_v obtain_v these_o or_o those_o purpose_n of_o they_o than_o they_o will_v entertain_v the_o gospel_n and_o sell_v their_o other_o delight_n for_o it_o even_o as_o he_o who_o will_v first_o go_v bury_v his_o father_n which_o christ_n reprove_v and_o then_o he_o will_v follow_v he_o and_o thus_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v usual_o with_o these_o man_n as_o it_o do_v with_o careless_a and_o unthrifty_a merchant_n that_o slack_a defer_v and_o drive_v off_o the_o time_n of_o their_o commodity_n while_o it_o be_v to_o be_v have_v and_o repent_v they_o after_o when_o it_o be_v too_o late_o so_o these_o man_n they_o defer_v and_o delay_v the_o time_n in_o which_o god_n set_v out_o the_o pearl_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o it_o be_v to_o sale_n that_o they_o may_v buy_v it_o at_o a_o small_a and_o easy_a reckon_n until_o the_o market_n of_o god_n be_v do_v and_o the_o day_n of_o grace_n be_v past_a that_o they_o can_v then_o have_v it_o will_v they_o never_o so_o glad_o for_o as_o wisdom_n call_v and_o cry_v unto_o man_n a_o long_a time_n and_o can_v be_v entertain_v of_o they_o for_o their_o own_o good_a so_o wisdom_n threaten_v that_o she_o will_v refuse_v to_o hear_v they_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o their_o trouble_n 1.20_o and_o in_o the_o day_n wherein_o affliction_n and_o anguish_n shall_v like_o a_o whirlwind_n come_v upon_o they_o though_o they_o cry_v never_o so_o loud_o and_o seek_v she_o never_o so_o earnest_o she_o will_v not_o answer_v nor_o be_v find_v of_o they_o wherefore_o it_o be_v good_a for_o we_o to_o follow_v the_o counsel_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n 3.15_o while_o it_o be_v call_v to_o day_n to_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o god_n and_o to_o hearken_v to_o wisdom_n while_o she_o call_v unto_o we_o for_o we_o know_v not_o how_o long_o the_o day_n of_o grace_n will_v last_v with_o us._n it_o may_v be_v not_o a_o year_n or_o a_o day_n or_o a_o hour_n and_o if_o that_o be_v past_a than_o it_o be_v too_o late_o for_o we_o to_o seek_v after_o it_o we_o must_v have_v our_o lamp_n ready_a burn_v with_o the_o five_o wise_a virgin_n if_o we_o will_v enter_v in_o with_o the_o bridegroom_n 25.34_o but_o if_o we_o linger_v and_o defer_v the_o buy_n of_o our_o oil_n till_o he_o come_v we_o may_v knock_v and_o call_v but_o shall_v find_v no_o entrance_n nor_o ingress_n for_o we_o 14.15_o as_o they_o in_o the_o gospel_n that_o be_v bid_v to_o the_o supper_n and_o refuse_v of_o all_o other_o they_o be_v debar_v from_o it_o so_o we_o see_v then_o the_o wisdom_n of_o this_o merchant_n commend_v unto_o us._n he_o do_v not_o foreslacke_a nor_o foreslowe_v any_o time_n but_o present_o go_v about_o the_o purchase_n of_o this_o pearl_n so_o that_o in_o earthly_a delight_n we_o see_v we_o soon_o resolve_v but_o twenty_o let_n be_v in_o the_o way_n to_o hinder_v we_o in_o heavenly_a let_v we_o next_o see_v what_o course_n he_o take_v to_o get_v it_o teach_v he_o sell_v all_o that_o he_o have_v and_o buy_v that_o pearl_n by_o sell_v and_o buy_v here_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v not_o such_o a_o merchandise_n as_o papist_n make_v that_o say_v by_o their_o good_n and_o substance_n they_o think_v to_o purchase_v heaven_n to_o themselves_o for_o there_o be_v no_o equality_n between_o all_o that_o we_o have_v or_o can_v have_v and_o between_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n but_o in_o thing_n that_o be_v buy_v there_o be_v some_o equality_n between_o the_o price_n and_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v buy_v so_o that_o if_o they_o by_o their_o alm_n or_o good_a work_n whatsoever_o be_v able_a to_o purchase_v heaven_n at_o god_n hand_n it_o follow_v that_o they_o be_v as_o profitable_a to_o god_n and_o benefit_v he_o as_o much_o by_o their_o alm_n and_o other_o good_a work_n as_o he_o by_o heaven_n do_v benefit_v they_o but_o we_o know_v the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o saviour_n when_o we_o have_v do_v all_o we_o can_v do_v though_o we_o give_v all_o our_o substance_n yea_o and_o our_o own_o life_n for_o god_n glory_n we_o must_v say_v and_o acknowledge_v as_o the_o truth_n be_v we_o be_v but_o unprofitable_a servant_n unto_o he_o 17.10_o for_o we_o have_v do_v no_o more_o than_o duty_n require_v at_o our_o hand_n 6.23_o and_o therefore_o mark_v how_o the_o apostle_n paul_n call_v death_n the_o wage_n of_o sin_n but_o life_n eternal_a the_o free_a gift_n of_o god_n for_o the_o wage_n say_v he_o of_o sin_n be_v death_n but_o life_n eternal_a be_v the_o free_a gift_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n jesus_n our_o lord_n so_o that_o death_n and_o condemnation_n we_o may_v deserve_v for_o it_o be_v the_o wage_n of_o sin_n but_o life_n eternal_a we_o can_v deserve_v because_o it_o be_v the_o free_a gift_n of_o god_n but_o to_o proceed_v by_o sell_v all_o he_o mean_v the_o same_o that_o he_o do_v in_o other_o place_n by_o forsake_v and_o leave_v all_o pearl_n and_o by_o buy_v the_o pearl_n and_o get_v the_o right_a

in_o other_o as_o their_o place_n will_v give_v they_o leave_v &_o yet_o in_o some_o thing_n they_o will_v not_o be_v bring_v within_o compass_n but_o be_v wed_v to_o their_o will_n and_o know_v

therefore_o the_o apostle_n s_o james_n have_v to_o deal_v with_o such_o people_n say_v unto_o they_o whosoever_o shall_v keep_v the_o whole_a law_n 2.10.11_o and_o yet_o fail_v in_o one_o point_n
