He lift vp his eyes and looked and lo three men stood by him and when he saw them he ran to meet them from the tent doore and bowed himselfe to the ground This Salomon a King performeth to his mother 1. King 2.19 Bathshebah went vnto the King to speak vnto him for Adonijah And the King rose to meet her and bowed himselfe vnto her Thirdly to vncouer the head beefore the auncient 1. Cor. 11.9.10 Fourthly to bow the knee before them for so doth Salomon to his mother and Abraham to the Angels supposing they were but men Fiftly to giue them the better place in all meetings for this the Apostle teacheth Rom. 12.10 Luke 14.7.8.9.10.11 In giuing honour go one before another Eph. 5.21 Submit your selues one to another in the feare of God And this wee see practised by Salomon 1. King 2.19 He caused a seat to be set for the Kings mother and she sate at his right hand And this reuerend regard of superioritie was in Ioseph and his brethren the Patriarches in Egipt to the great admiration of the Egiptians Gen. 43.33 Ioseph sate by himselfe and they sate before him the eldest according to his age and the youngest according to his youth and the Egiptians marueled among themselues Sixtly to giue the elder the first place of speaking So doth Elihu teach by his owne example Iob. 32.6 I am yong in years and ye are auncient therefore I doubted and was afraid to shew mine opinion and ver 16. he addeth When I had waited for they spake not but stood still and answered no more then answered I in my turne Seauenthly to giue titles to all persons according to their place of honour to the honourable of reuerence to the reuerend 1. Pet. 3.6 Sarah obayed Abraham and called him Lord. 1. Sam. 1.14 Annah answered Eli saying nay my Lord I am a woman troubled in spirit Eightly to honour them for their calling and office for wee are bound in conscience to performe these duties and not for ciuilitie or manners sake Ninthly to obey them in all things which they command vs according to the diuine rules of pietie and iustice Tenthly with thankfulnesse and with cheerefulnesse and diligence in all seruice all which points we may obserue in Eleazar that faithfull seruant of Abraham Gen. 24. chap. Quest 110. And what be the duties common to all superiours Iob. 31.13 2. King 5.13 Ans First to loue and tender the state and welfare of their inferiours as the naturall Parents doe their naturall children Tit. 2.2 Heb. 12 1.13.7.6.12 1. Pet. 5.3 1. Pet 3 1.2.3 Secondly to bee examples of all pietie sobrietie and iustice and to goe euer beefore them as good presidents for their imitation in all the holy exercises of religion that they may say with Iob. chap. 29.8 The young men saw me and hid themselues and the aged arose and stood vp Quest 111. What bee the generall sinnes of inferiours against superiours and of superiours to their inferiours Ans The common sinnes of inferiours be these First to hate them for their calling as a number of popish protestants or carnall Gospellers doe the ministers of the Gospell for their calling sake Secondly to ascribe vnto them more honour then is due vnto them as the people did to Herod after his glorious Oration they shouted crying The voice of God and not of man Act. 12.21.22 Thirdly to aggrauate and to discouer their infirmities and weakenesse as Cham did to his father Noah Gen. 9.22 Fourthly to flatter them in their sinnes as the young Sycophants did Rehoboam whose counsell hee followed to his ruine 1. King 12.14.15 or not to admonish them in loue if need require The common sinnes of Superiours bee these First to neglect their duties to their inferiours which concerne either their soules or bodies their welfare in this life and their saluation in the life to come Secondly not to correct the lesser sinnes by admonitions and censures nor the greater by more speciall chasticements Quest 112. Now let vs come to the speciall duties of superiours and inferiours in the priuate familie and first of parents and children Ans First the first dutie following the order of nature is of the mother that with all care and conscience shee indeuour the preseruation of the life of her childe euen from the first conception in her wombe albeit shee endure many sorrowes as Gods speciall chasticements for her good till it bee borne and come to yeares of strength A barren wombe better then a barren brest Wherefore here a speciall dutie lying on the mother is the nourishing of her owne children with her owne brests if the Lord shall graunt her that good blessing first for that the holy Ghost accounts this one good note of a Godly matrone 1. Tim. 5.10 She is well reported of for good works next is added if she haue nourished her children Secondly the examples of holy women must bee followed whose daughters religious mothers are said to bee when they doe well and doe performe duties 1. Pet. 3.6 But Sarah gaue suck to her owne sonne Isaach Gen. 21.7 albeit shee had many women in her family which might haue eased her of that dutie The like wee read of that godly woman Annah the mother of Samuel 1. Sam. 1.29 And of the blessed Virgin Mary the mother of Christ Luke 2.12 Instruction is required also in the mother 2. Tim. 1.5 3.15 This then ought religious Matrons to respect carefully and the rather for that this is the principall dutie that God requires at their hands when hee saith 1. Tim. 2.15 Notwithstanding all their sinnes through bearing of children they shall be saued if they continue in faith and loue and holinesse with modestie Foure pearles to adorne godly Matrons A second dutie which specially concernes the husband as head is to prouide for the family for the maintenance of wife and children 1. Tim. 5.8 If there be any that prouideth not for his owne and namely for them of his houshold he denieth the faith and is worse then an Infidell This care and conscience we finde in Iacob when hee answereth Laban of his faithfull seruice hee addeth these words I haue serued thee long and thou art become rich through my diligence and faithfulnes now when shall I trauell for mine owne house also Gen. 30. ver 30. A third dutie common to both Parents is this to catechize instruct and to bring vp their children in the instruction and information of the Lord. That this dutie concernes father and mother ioyntly appeares Prou. 30.17 Againe the charge of God is great and to bee considered Deu. 4.9 Take heed vnto thy selfe and keepe thy soule diligently that thou forget not the things which thine eyes haue seene and that they depart not out of thine heart all the dayes of thy life but teach them thy sonnes and thy sonnes sonnes Deu. 6.6 These words which I command thee this day shall be in thine

inheritance shall bee peace thy life shall bee peace thy God shall bee peace and whatsoeuer thou desirest shall bee peace Here in this world thy gold cannot bee siluer thy siluer cannot bee bread thy bread cannot bee wine and thy light cannot bee thy meate but there the Lord shall be all vnto thee thou shalt eate him that thou maiest not hunger thou shalt drinke him that thou maiest not thirst thou shalt bee illightened by him that thou maiest not bee blinde thou shalt bee sustained by him that thou maiest not faint hee shall possesse the wholy which is all in all Thou shalt not there feele any misery because with him through thy loue thou shalt possesse all Thou shalt haue all and hee shall haue all because thou and hee shall bee one Thus far Saint Austen Another propertie of this life is the change of bodies and alteration or rather vtter abolishing of all inglorious infirmities and weaknesse for it is said Phil. 4.23 our bodies shall be like his glorious body and what is the fashion of his body you may read Reu. 14. his head and haires white as wooll or snow and his eyes were as a flame of fire and his feete like vnto fine brasse c. It shal be incorruptible and neuer change immortall and neuer dye spirituall and liue of it selfe without corporeall helpes nothing shall rise against the soule of a man no fraitly no want no hunger thirst or cold no heate wearinesse or indigence no contention and brawling no not that trouble arising in euery one in the kingdome of grace Sollicita cautela vitandi inimici diligendi both of auoiding and louing his enemie Of this estate a learned father discourseth in this manner When this mortall hath put on immortalitie there shall bee no opposition by diabolicall pollicy no euill or condemned heresie no impietie of infidels but in those tabernacles of the righteous shall bee nothing but reioycing and exultation because they are made the citizens of that city which is supernall eternall and free which is not couered with darkenesse shadowed with night wasted with continuance and age nor yet hath any need of the glittering light of the Sunne there shall not the Moone shine the Starres shew no candle lighted no lampe burning for the diuine light shall lighten it the Sunne of righteousnesse and the true light shall shine vpon it the inaccessible and incomprehensible light which is not inclosed in any place nor ended in any time shineth vpon that heauenly Ierusalem the mother of vs all which with her children the sons of light the sons of the day the sonnes by adoption the sons of God shall be glorified in the same for euer and euer Fiftly and lastly they shall be in heauen not onely in vnspeakable ioy but also seruing God in that life for there is no life nor ioy in any life without the seruice of God and therefore our sauiour told vs to doe his fathers will was his meate that is the staffe of his life and his ioy Now the Saints in heauen shall both ioy and doe nothing but praise him for all their time shall bee a Saboth appropriated to serue him and sing his praises for euermore Esay 66.23 and indeede this must sinke deepe into our hearts in this life not onely for our instruction what wee shall doe in another world but also to stirre vs vp in this life to serue God because therein we ioyne with the Saints in heauen and the Church in earth is pertaker with the triumphant glorified soules in the kingdome of Maiestie and for this cause in our dayly prayers wee pray Thy will bee done in earth as it is in heauen But to returne to the ioy our ioy shall bee there all of the Creatour and not of the creature none shall take it away for wee shall bee out of danger of loosing our happinesse and therefore better then the Angels now but ioy taken any where else and compared to this is but sorrow sweetnesse but paine and bitternesse comlinesse but black and ougly filthinesse and delights but troablesome noysomnesse Of which estate Saint Ciprian in his sermon of mortalitie maketh this meditation Wee accompt Paradise our countrie and wee haue already gotten the Patriarches to bee our Parents oh why doe wee not runne and make hast home into our country and salute our parents there expecteth vs a great number of deare friends of parents brethren sonnes sisters mothers and acquaintance I say a great number expecteth vs which are already secured of their owne glory and are carefull for ours Oh to come into their sight and mutually to embrace them how great shall bee their and our glory both together what shall bee the pleasure of those celestiall kingdomes where the feare of death ceaseth and wee assured to liue eternally what is that highest and perpetuall felicitie there are crowned the Godly fellowship of the Apostles the great number of Prophets the innumerable troupes of Martyrs There doe virgins triumph which by the vigour of the spirit haue gotten victory of all concupiscence and liued in chastitie there shall they see the mercifull rewarded who wrought righteousnesse by their feeding clothing and cherishing the poore although for the obeying of Christ they haue forsaken their owne patrimonie And to conclude with the words of Saint Austen wee can more easily tell what is not in heauen then what is for wee are not able to tell how great a good God is and yet we are not permitted to hold our peace and therefore wee cannot tell and yet for ioy wee cannot hold our peace then whether wee speake or say nothing wee shall reioyce exceedingly This is their reward to see God to liue with God to liue of God to bee of God to bee in God to bee for God which is the cheefest good And where as is the cheefest good there shall bee the cheefest felicitie cheefest pleasure true libertie perfect charitie eternall securitie secure eternitie there is the true reioycing all knowledge all beautie and all blessednesse there is peace pietie goodnesse light vertue honestie sweetenesse concord rest praise glory and life eternall concerning which pray gentle Reader that Christ would say to thee and mee Come ye blessed of my Father receiue the kingdome thy Masters ioy prepared for you before the worlds beginning Quest 66. But you haue rehearsed out of Saint Paul that this life is eternall and the gift of God How can it bee the gift of God seeing it is the reward of righteousnesse Ans Indeede as it is the full promise of God it is a gift but as it is the hire and recompence of a good life it is a reward and euery way it commeth from the free and voluntary gift of God for if it came any other way woe were it to vs which are able to doe so little for so great a crowne wee cannot buy it we cannot steale it as Iacob did his fathers blessing but it must bee giuen vs not from or by man but by the Lord which giueth plentifully and casteth no man in the teeth And this is a comfort where withall I will end this discourse for by it I conceiue that the kingdome of heauen shall be bestowed equally both vpon poore and rich for it is a gift and no man can challenge more in that gift then an other none can bee nearer then other Euery place of the earth standeth in equall distance from heauen and euery man and woman are alike capeable of eternall life the wise and foolish virgins stood in the same way and place to expect the same bridegroome Therefore seeing all must be bound to God for these benefits let vs not iudge any that in our opinion seeme to bee far from grace for the Lords gifts and graces are without repentance and hee that is able to call them to graffe them and to winne them will cloth their naked soules with comfort His desire is to binde men vnto him for it and therefore let not any man dispaire of their saluation nor enuy them if the Lord call them to heauen at the last gaspe as hee did the good theefe vpon the Crosse FINIS

they ●…ome very beasts Fiftly God punisheth this sinne first in this life with a temporall death by the hand of the magistrate Leu. 20.10 1. Cor. 6.9 Gal. 5.22 Deut. 22.22 after this life they are tormented of diuils in hell Reue. 21.8 The like temporall punishment was for parties betrothed if they were found in sinne Deut. 22.32 Sixtly the very Heathen did abhor this sinne and appointed many kindes of punishments for it and some death as wee see the king of Babel burnt with fire Achab and Zedekiah two false Prophets for the sinne of Adulterie Ierem. 29.23 Quest 130. Proceed to single whordome and the other speciall actuall sinnes here condemned Ans Now that single whoredome is also here condemned is very manifest for the Lord often condemneth it also in the old and new Testament God teacheth vs that where whordome is that place is ful of wickednesse his words are these Leu. 19.29 Thou shalt not make thy daughter common to cause her to bee an harlot least the land also fall to whoredome and the land be full of wickednesse And againe Leu. 21.9 If a Priests daughter fall to play the whore shee polluteth her father therefore shall she be burnt with fire Againe this is repeated Deut. 23.17 There shall bee no whore of the daughters of Israell neither shall there bee a whore keeper of the sonnes of Israell So in the new Testament these two sinnes of adultry and whordome be most commonly knit together as most common and dangerous Gal. 5.23 Col. 3. ● 1. Cor. 6.9 Gal. 5.23 Secondly incest is here condemned this sinne yet exceedes the two former this sinne is committed when such as bee knit together and bee neere for kindred or affinitie defile themselues contrary to the Law of God condemning this pollution Leu. 18.6 None shall come neere any of the kinred of his flesh and vncouer her shame I am the Lord. Against this sinne a solemne curse was denounced Deut. 27.20.22.23 and the punishment inflicted vpon such sinners was death Leu. 20.11 And how greatly the Lord abhors this sinne may appeare by his curse so long continued on that incestious seed of Lot the Moabites and Ammonites Gen. 19.37.38 It may bee here demaunded if incest be to bee punished by death wherefore was the incestuous man in Corinth chastened onely by an Ecclesiastical censure The answer is this the Lord proceeds against this sinne at that time no further then excommunication onely because the Church as yet wanted christian Magistrates Thirdly wicked mariages with Idolaters with the prophane and godlesse bee here condemned first all couenanting and compacting in any league of familiaritie is condemned Exod. 23.32 and 34.15 Secondly Mariage is specially forbidden in these words Thou shalt make no mariages with them Deut. 7.5 The reason is this ver 4. for they will cause thy Sonnes to turne away from mee to serue other Gods And this wee finde true by many examples purposely to this end recorded in scripture as first in Salomon who for all his wisedome by such vncleane mariages was caried away as blind-fold to all idolatries 1. King 11.4 Achab also being euill by such a mariage with Iesabell was made ten times worse 1. King 16.31 And good Iehosaphat is taxed in these words Iehosaphat had riches and honour in abundance but hee was ioyned in affinitie with Achab. 2. Chron. 18.1.2 Esau by this sinne did greeue his holy Parents of whose Idolatrous wiues it is said That they were a greefe of minde to Isaac and Rebecca so that Rebecca Gen. 26.35 complaining against them saith I am weary of my life for the daughters of Heth Gen. 27.46 If Iacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth like these of the daughters of the land what auaileth it me to liue Againe this was the sinne of the Israelites practising Balaams counsell to Balaack to their owne destruction Num. 25.1.2.3.4 This is the sinne for the which Ezra and the godly with him so fasted mourned and wept Ezra 10.10 This sinne is specially named to bee the cause of the first destruction of the world by the floud in Noahs time Gen. 6.1.2.3 verses But wee finde the Iewes often to match with the Gentiles and their mariages allowed of God as Boaz to Ruth Chap. 3. Ans When the Lord gaue his Law against such mariages hee added this speciall exception that if they did renounce superstition and did embrace his holy worship they might mary Deu. 21.10.14 Psal 45. and so did Ruth Chap. 1.16 Fourthly againe the Lord here condemneth all stealing away of the sonnes and daughters of men for mariages and this is done two manner of waies Rape forceing condēned Enticing of Virgins condemned first violently against the consent both of parties and parents secondly with the consent of the children but not of parents These and the like godlesse practises haue crept into the Church from Paganisme and Papisme for the Popish canonists abusing the Lawes which were made against the enticeing and defiling of Virgins with consent haue made stollen mariages lawfull Deut. 22.28 Exod. 22.16 The very words of their cheefe Master be these The consent of Parents for mariages is not of any necessitie but serues to comlinesse and honestie But wee know the holy Lawes of the Almighty require this consent in mariage for the Lord giues the father this authoritie Exod. 22.16.17 for that children to parents are the most speciall and deerest part of that substance which the Lord hath lent them for their comfort on the earth which thing the Diuell knew right well Iob. Chap. 1 and 2. Againe if children bee bound to honour parents in all things most of all in this solemne contract which doth so much concerne their state during life Thirdly this the Lord also teacheth by holy examples which for this are commended as presidents for all ages as of Isaack and Rebecca Gen. 24.4.50 and the contrarie is no lesse condemned in Prophane Esaus mariages for the example of all posterities Gen. 28.8 and 27.46 Fiftly Polyganie is here condemned reasons against this euill are these following First the Lords will is that his children in holy mariage conforme themselues to the first president which he gaue in paradise But then and there the Lord ioined one man one womā together in mariage therefore this forme is to bee followed in the Church for euer Secondly the Lord hath giuen a manifest Law against this sinne of hauing two wiues Leu. 18.18 where in the originall the words are thus read Thou shalt not take vnto thee in mariage one woman to another Thirdly Malachie and Christ charge vs to looke on the first instituon of mariage and follow it Mat. 19.8 The Prophets words are chap. 2.15 And did hee not make one yet had he abundance of spirit and wherefore one because hee sought a godly seed Therefore keepe your selues in your spirit and let none trespasse against the wife of his youth Fourthly the
