consuming of their substance the wasting of their health trouble and vnquietnesse in their owne house shame and confusion abroade the losse of spirituall graces in this life and the losse of life eternall in the worlde to come What fruite doth the couetous miser reape by his abundance of welth when hee doth not possesse his goods but is possessed of them when hee hath them and cannot finde in his heart to vse them when hee hath no hope to haue them blessed to the third generation and especially what will it profit him if hee shoulde winne all the worlde and in the meane time loose his owne soule As liuing in the obedience of Gods worde in goodnesse of life is called by the Apostle 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a greate gaine and profit so disobeying the Lord by riotousnes of life doth heape vpon man all plagues and miseries The people which here vnder Saul doe against the commaundement of GOD keepe some cattell to make a wil-worship of their owne do reserue the best fattest of the sheepe and Oxen wherein wee may further obserue how forwarde and zealous men are to set forth maintaine those things which they haue hatched in their owne braine against the direct rule of Gods word For I can account no better of their sacrifices when they will make them as seales of their disobedience against God The people of Israell to erect a golden Calfe would part with their Earings euen the best Iewels they had but in the true worshippe of God euery thing went hard with them they were continually murmuring grudging against Moses and Aaron When Elias could finde little succour amongst the Israelits their successours Iezabel to maintaine the Idolatry of Baal kept fower hundred Chaplaines as it is saide in the Scriptures there were fower hundred Priests of the groues that did eate at Iezabels table Wee see in our daies many monuments and remnants of superstition which do sufficiently lay open to vs how forward they were in times past to maintaine their wilworshippe and we see also on the other side more is the pittie by too lamentable experience how colde and backwarde we are to vpholde and resorte vnto the true seruice of God framed according to his worde Manie now are like vnto childrē who if they be cōmaunded any thing by their parents they are eyther by and by hungry wearie or straight way oppressed with heat or colde but if they runne headlong vpon any deuise of their owne braine they continue in their trauell a long time without feeling hunger or colde a whole day will scarce suffice for their vaine inuentions Euen so it is with many men which though they be growne in stature yet are children in vnderstanding and knowledge what pleaseth their owne humors and affections y t they are forwarde with greate charges to sustaine But if any thing be cōmaunded by godly lawes of Christian Princes agreeable to the worde of God of that they make little or small account So likewise it falleth out in the performance of the duetyes of the second Table If there be any thing that shall disobey the commaundement of GOD any riotousnes of life any pride any vncleane lustes any excesse and surfeting how forward are we nay how prodigall to compasse and accomplish such dissolute affections But if any thing be to be done in obedience of the word any poore to be releeued any vertuous acte to bee performed alas how colde are we then how sparing yea rather how froward how obstinate Rebellion is as the sinne of witchcraft and stubborne resisting as superstition and Idolatry Of the second part of this text to wit of the iudgement of God denoūced against Saul for this his rebellion I shall godwilling intreat at some other conuenient time In y e meane while as the Lacedemonians by shewing to their children the lothsome sight of dronkards would therby withdraw their youth from that lewde and beastly vice So let this viewe and beholding of the horrour of rebellion effect and worke in our hearts a perfect hatred of all disobedience Let vs earnestly endeuour to be that flock of Christ which heare his voice and follow him that so we may be certainly assured that he will giue vnto vs eternall life and that nothing shall bee able to plucke vs out of his hands Let vs shewe forth the fruite of our faith by humble obedience as did faithfull Abraham y t walking after y e spirite we may be fully certified that we liue by the spirite Let vs order our conuersation duetifully in the feare of God as becommeth obedient children in sacrificing mortifying our owne wills and affections y t so being sonnes and daughters yea kings and priests to God the father in this life we may raigne with him for euer in his eternall kingdome in the world to come whereunto he speedily bring vs all that mercifully dyed for vs all our Lord and Sauiour Christ Iesus
