A hopefull way to cure, that horrid sinne of svvearing. Or an helpe to save swearers, if willing to be saved: being an offer or message from him, whom they so daringly, and audatiously provoke. Also a curb against cursing.

stubbornenesse of mine owne heart so adding drunkenesse to thirst the Lord will not be mercifull unto him but the wrath of the Lord and his jelousie shall smoake against that man and every curse that is written in his booke shall light upon him and the Lord shall put out his name from under Heaven c. Doth not our Savour himselfe say that the gate of heaven is so straight that few finde it Mat. 7.13.14 and will he not at his comming to judgement aswell say to the disobedient depart from me ye cursed as to the obedient come ye blessed of my father inherit the kingdome c. yes they are his owne words Mat. 25 34.41 In fine he that beleeveth in the sonne hath everlasting life but he that obeyeth not the sunne shall not see life but the wrath of God abideth on him Iohn 3.36 And in all reason if he punished Davids Adultery and Murther so sharpely a man after his owne heart yea and that after his sinne was remitted what will he doe to his enemies but send them to that devowring fire that everlasting burning Isay 33.14 If Gods owne children who are as neere and deare to him as the aple of his eye or the signet on his right hand Zach. 2.8 Duet 32.10 Suffer so many and greivious afflictions here what shall his adversaries suffer in hell If Sampson be thus punished shall the Philistems escape Yea if judgement begin at the house God what shall their end be that obeay not the Gospel 1 Pet. 4.17 If many shall seeke to enter in at the straight gate and shall not be able how shall they be able who seeke not at all Luke 13.24 If the righteous shall scarcely be saved when shall the ungodly and sinner appeaâ—e as the Scripture speakes 1 Pet. 4.18 So that mercy iâ— for vessells of mercy Mat. 5. and not for vessells of wrath And what though Christ in the Gospell hath made many large and precious promises therâ— are none so generall which are not limitted with the condition of faith and the fruit thereof unfained repentance And each of them are so tyed entailed that none can lay claim to them but true beleevers who repent and turne from all their sinnes to serve him in holynesse without which no man shall see the Lord Heb. 12.14 Isay 59 20. So that he must forsake hiâ— sinnes that will have God to forgive them 1 Sam. 2.30 Marke 16.16 Heb. 5.9 Neither was it ever heard that any one ascended into heaven without going up the staires oâ— obedience and good workes that any have attained unto everlasting life without faith repentance and sanctification for even the theife upon the crosse which you ignorantly aleadge beleeved in Christ and shewed the fruits of his faith in acknowledging his owne sinne reproving his fellow in confessing our Saviour Christ even then when his Apostles denied anâ— forsooke him in calling upon his name desiring and confidently trusting by his meanes and merrits to have everlasting life Neither doth his example make any whit for the comfort oâ— procrastinators for he is a foole that makes an ordinary rule of an extraordinary example and such is this of the theifes convertion for it was a miracle Not unlike the Suns standing still in Ioshuas time or its going backe in the dayes of Hezekiah Or rather those other miracleâ— of the graves opening the dead arising the vaile of the temple renting the light of the Sunne failing c. which Christ wrought at the same time with the glory whereof our Saviour would honour the ignominy of his Crosse Besides hee was then to take his leave of the world and to enter into his glory and we know it is usuall with Princes to save some hainous malefactors at their coronation when they enter upon their Kingdomes in tryumph which they are never knowne to doe afterward Besides the Scripture speakes of another even his fellow in that very place and at that very instant which was damned There was one saith St. Austine converted at the last hower that none might dispair there was buâ— one that none should presume Yet every drunken beast swearing Athiest can wrest this scripture to their owne distruction and decoct the mercy of God in pardoning him into ranckâ— poyson taking the same for an encouragement and thinkeing it a sufficient warrant for them to continue in their evill and vicious courses Not once taking notice of other Scriptures which shew that millions who had lesse iniquity have found lesse mercy And that whosoever Christ saveth with his blood he sanctifieth with his spirit and in whom his death taken takes away the guilt and punishment of sinne it is also effectuall for the mortifying of sinne as is plaine by Rom. 6.5 6. Titus 2.14 Ephes 1.4 and many the like Yea the Lord bindeth it with an oath that whomsoever he redeemeth out of the hands of their spirituall enemies they shall worship him in holynesse and righteousnesse all the dayes of their life Luk. 1.70 to 76. Other Scriptures to this purpose are many see only Titus 2.12 1 Pet. 2 24. But to make it yet more cleare what else did thy vow in baptisme which is a seale of the Covenant importe but that there are Articles conditions viz. Certain duties on thy part to be performed as well as promises on Gods part to be fullfiled A Sacrament is a sealing of a league with Covenants between party and party saith Parreus Now as God hath covenanted and bound himselfe by his word and seale to remit thee thy sinnes adopt and regenerate thee his childe give thee the Kingdome of heaven and everlasting life by and for his sons sake so thou diddest for thy part bind thy selfe by Covenant promise and vow that thou wouldest forsake the Divell and all his workes constantly beleeve Gods holy word and obediently keepe his commandements the better thereby to expresse thy thankefulnesse towards him for so great a benefit 1 Pet. 4.1 2 3. Psal 116.12 13.14 And we know that in-Covenants and Indentures if the conditions be not kept the Obligation is not in force Whereby many even Magus like after the water of Baptisme goe to the fire of hell Yea except we repent and beleeve the Gospell we are perjured and that holy Sacrament together with the offer of grace and in stead of sealing to us our salvation will be an obligation under our hand and seale against us and so prove a seale of our greater condemnation Alasse ignorant Worldlings who will beleeve nothing which comes not within the compasse of their five sences thinke that because God strikes not he mindes not Psal 50.21 Because sentence against an evill worke is not executed speedily therefore the heart of the children of men is fully set in them to doe evill as Solomon speakes Eccles 8.11 Because God doth not forthwith strike one dead with a Thunder Bolte and raine downe fier and brimestone upon another and cause the earth to swallow downe a
