of the world worketh death 2 Cor. 7.8.9.10 Motives to Godly sorrow are frequently met with in Scripture For 1. private corruptions 2. publick calamities 3. praevayling pressures and insultations of Satan and his adhaerents to the scandall of christian religion and professon 1. What an heart-breaking was this to David Behold I was shapen in iniquity and in sin did my mother conceive or warme m● Psal 51.5 Mine iniquities are gone over my head and are a sore burden for me too heavy for me to beare Psal 38 4. Innumerable troubbles are come about me my sins have taken such hold upon me that I am not able to looke up yea they are more in number then the hairs of my head and my heart hath failed me O Lord let it be thy pleasure to deliver me make haste O Lord to help me Psal 40.15 16. When thou with rebukes dost chasten man for sin thou makest his beauty to consume avvay as it vvere a moth fretting of a garment Every man therefore is but vanity Psal 39.12 whence St. Paul bemoans himselfe I delight in the law of God after the inward man Rom. 7. but I see another law in my members warring against the law of my mind bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members O wretched man that I am who shall deliver me from the body of this death sin must needs bring sadnesse to many that proved so odious to God's nature that it ruined the angells bereaved Adam of Gods favour and Paradise could not be expiated but by the son of God who knew no sin yet was made sin for us that we might be made the righteousnes of God in him 2 Cor. 5.21 2. How publick calamities affect the heart with sorrow of all those that are true of heart may be gathered by those passionate passages of Isaiah Look away from me for I will weep bitterly labour not to comfortmè because of the spoyling of the daughter of my people Isa 22.4 Of Jeremy My bowells my bowels I am pained to the very heart The vvall of my heart makes a noyse vvithin we I cannot hold my peace because thou hast heard O my soule the sound of the trumpet the alarm of war Destruction upon destruction is cryed for the vvhole land is spoyled Suddainly are my tents spoyled and my curtaines in a moment Hovv long shall I see the standard and hear the sound of the trumpet For my people is foolish they have not knowen me they are sottish children they have not understanding they are wise to do evill but to do good they have no knowledg Jerem. 4 O that my head were waters and mine eyes a fountain of teares that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people Oh that I had in the Wildernesse a lodging place of wayfaring men that I might leave my people and go from them for they be all adulterers an assembly of treacherous men Jer. 9.1 Thus Jerusalem is bemoaned made drunk with the cup of fury that had none of her sons to take her by the hand to guide her of all those she hath brought up but lay as a bull in a net at the head of all the streets Isa 51. 3. Complaints of Sataincall insultations are The ungodly for his own lust doth persecute the poore He is so proud that he careth not for God neither is God in all his thoughts His wayes are always grievous thy judgments are far above out of his sight and therefore defieth he all his enemies For he hath said in his heart Tush I shall never be cast down there shall no harm happen unto me Psal 10. This complaint is taken up again Psal 73. To which satisfaction is given Psal 37. and 49. Jeremy harps upon the same string Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper wherefore are they happy that deal very treacherously Thou hast planted them yea they have taken root they grow yea they bring forth fruit Thou art neer in their mouthes but far from their reines But it followes Those that have so trodden downe the Lords portion and desolated the land shall reap Thornes instead of Wheat put themselves to pain without profit For they shall be asham'd of their revenues because of the fierce anger of the Lord Jer. 12. Motives to Zeal Zeal which may be good or bad Good is either 1 for Gods honour 2 house or 3 people The first was of Elias I have been very jealous for the Lord God of hosts because the children have forsaken thy Covenant thrown down thy altars and slain thy people with the sword and I even I onely am left and they seek my life to take it away 1 King 19.14 For this zeal Phineas is commended of God Phineas the son of Eliezar the son of Aaron the priest hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel while he was zealous for my sake amongst them that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy Num. 25.11 Of this zeal Jehu boasted Come with me and see my zeal for the Lord so they made him ride in his chariot 2 King 10.16 The 2d sort of zeale may be typified in David The zeale of thy house hath eaten me up and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me Psal 69.9 My zeale hath consumed me because mine enemies have forgotten thy words Psal 119.139 But practised by our Saviour when he found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves and the changers of money sitting He made a scourge of small cords and drove them out of the Temple and the sheep and the oxen and poured out the changers-mony and over-threw the tables and said unto them that sold doves Take these things hence and make not my Fathers house an house of merchandize And the disciples remembred that it was written The zeale of thine house hath caten me up Joh. 2.14 Much different from the zeale of our modern zealots the zeale of whom eateth up God's house 3. For zeale to Gods people The zeale of Moses and St. Paul are notoriously eminent which was seconded by that of that resolute Priest Mattathias who when he saw a Jew sacrificing to idols was inflamed with zeale and his reins trembled neither could he forbeare to shew his anger according to judgment wherefore he ran and slew him upon the altar Also the Kings commissioners who compelled men to sacrifice he killed at that time and the altar he pulled downe Thus dealt he zealously for the law of God as Phineas did to Zambri the son of Salom. 1 Maccab. 1. Bad zeale spendeth it selfe either in Nemesis 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Zelotypia 1 revenge 2 rejoycing at others ruines or 3 in impetuous undertakings and pursuances not acording to knowledg Belonging to the first kind was that of Saul for rooting out the Gibeonites 2 Sam. 21.2 And those more then forty that had bound themselves under a curse

20. By this Scheme any controversies of the Schools may be rhetorically handled as Thou vvilt tell me There is a purgatory by vvhich David passed through fire and vvater to a place of refreshing Psal 38. But this must be meant of temporall affliction vvhich David in this life had passed But After this life there is a prison vvhence redemption may be had upon payment of the uttermost farthing Matth. 5. Allusions give not Conclusions and the prison mentioned is no purging of the soul but urging of a pious and timely agreement to prevent further inconveniencies But vvhy vvere men baptised for the dead if it did the dead no good Baptised they vvere in their ovvn blood vvhich they shed rather then they vvould bevvray their brethren But 't is knovvn the Fathers held Purgatory But never as a tenent of religion but a matter of discourse vvith a forsitan verum est as St. Austin Decked vvith this Anacoinosis is Rabshekah's oration What confidence is this vvherein thou trustest Thou sayest I have counsell and strength Egypt is but a bruised reed vvhich vvill pierce the hand of him that leans upon it But if ye say We vvill trust in the Lord our God is it not he vvhose high places and vvhose altars Hezekiah hath taken avvay 2 King 18.19 * Concessiò cùm aliquid etiem iniquum videmur causae fiduciâ pati Quint. l. 9. c. 2. Gracis dicitur etiam 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Vnde ali● figuram hanc Confessunem vocârent Synchoresis Synchoresis grants as much as the adversarie can in reason desire yet shewes that it makes nothing for him Behold thou art called a Jew and restest in the Law and makest thy boast of God and knowest his will and approvest the things that are more excellent being instructed out of the Law and art confident that thou thy selfe art a guid of the blind a light of them that are in darkensse an instructor of the foolish a teacher of babes which hast the forme of knowledg and the truth in the law Thou that teachest a man should not steal dost thou steal thou that sayest a man should not commit adultry dost thou commit adultry thou that abhorrest idols dost thou commit sacriledg thou that makest thy boast of the law through breaking the law dishonourest thou God Rom. 2. The Jews require a signe and the Greeks seek after wisdom but we preach Christ crucified a stumbling block to the Jews and to the Greeks foolishnesse but unto them which are called both Jewes and Greekes Christ the power of God and the vvisdome of God Because the foolishnesse of God is vviser then men and the vveaknesse of God stronger then men 1 Cor. 1. Am I a God at hand saith the Lord and not a God a far off can any hide himselfe in secret places that I shall not see him saith the Lord Do not I fill heaven and earth saith the Lord Jer. 23.23 24. Upon vvhich dissention the auditory are usually desired to judg And novv inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah judg I pray between me and my vineyard What could I have done more to my vineyard than I have done unto it Isa 5.3 4. I speak to vvise men judg you vvhat I say The cup of blessing which vve bless is it not the communion of the blood of Christ The bread vvhich vve break is it not the communion of the body of Christ 1 Cor. 10.15 16. Ye Hypocrits ye can disern the face of the sky and of the earth but hovv is it that ye do not discern this time yea and vvhy of your selves judg ye not vvhat is right Luk. 12.56 57. CHAP. V. * Passionem seu affectam afferens such things as move the mind to love hatred c. Of Patheticks IN this vve have the heighth of Rhetorick vvherein James and John the sons of Zebedee appear as sons of thunder Mar. 3.17 Peter stabs the hearts of his auditory to a trembling prostration Men and brethren what shall we do Act. 14.11 12. Apollos the eloquent Alexandrian mightily convinced the Jevves in publick Act. 18. For an introduction to vvhich 1. The affections are to be considered that are to be vvrought upon 2. The vvorking upon them diversly by Scripture Patheticks Affections to be wrought upon may be conveniently reduced to 1. Love 2. Hatred 3. Hope 4. Fear 5. Joy 6. Sorrow 7. Zeal Motives to Love Love respects God our selvs our neighbours David's love to God is express'd in divers places extatically O how amiable arethy dvvellings thou Lord of hosts My soul hath a desire and longing to enter into the courts of the Lord my heart and my flesh rejoyce in the Living God Psal 84. Happy Sparrovvs and Svvallovvs vvhich there may have a nest or house to vvhich a passage through this vale of misery is a proceeding from strength to strength vvhere one dayes entertainment is better than a thousand spent in vvorldly pleasure The tents of ungodlinesse may be held delectable dvvellings but I had rather be a dore-keeper in the house of my God than the chief commander in the stateliest palaces Ib. So every vvhere in all his devotions such flashes of love break out The Lord is my strength and my shield my heart hath trusted in him and I am helped Therefore my heart danceth for joy and in my song vvill I praise him Psal 28.8 Like as the Hart desires the vvater-brooks so longeth my soul after thee O God My soul is a thirst for God yea even for the living God O vvhen shall I come to appear before the presence of God Psal 42.1 2. I have set God alvvaies before me for he is on my right hand therefore I shall not fall Wherefore my heart vvas glad and my glory rejoyced my flesh also shall rest in hope For thou vvilt not leave my soul in hell neither vvilt thou suffer thine holy One to see corruption Thou shalt shevv me the path of life in thy presence is the fulnesse of joy and at thy right hand there is pleasure for evermore Psal 16. The men of thy hand and vvorldlings may take pleasure in their portions in this life vvhose bellies thou fillest vvith thy hid treasures They have children at their desire and leave the rest of their substance for their babes But as for me I will behold thy presence in righteousnesse and when I awake up after thy likenesse I shall be satisfied Psal 17.14 15 16. This of David's de arte amandi is to be studied The speciall motives thereunto are 1. Gods tender love to us 2. His inestimable benefits bestowed and continued upon us For what brutish disposition will not be taken to love him from whom he receiveth his being and all that he hath Is it an ordinary expression of love from the King of Kings to the durty Israelites in Egyptian slavery Israel is my Son even my first borne and I say unto thee Let my son goe that he may serve me and
