Pestilence from vs. Amen Addition to the 6. Section FOr the Leprosie it was censured only by the Ecclesiasticall Minister The Minister was to finde out the trueth of leprosie for giuing true information to Magistrate and people and vpon the experience of a fretting leprosie to put the Person out of cōmunion to burne the garment to pull downe the house Leui. 14. and 15. First it may be a question whether in the new testaments Church there be a Leprosie of such form that can be so tried secondly whither by fretting was ment infectious And if yet whether the Pestilence ought so to be procéeded withall séeing the Minister now neither is so cōmanded to try it nor in garments nor in houses it can so be found For if then all our garments must be burned the houses pulled downe and the Persons excōmunicate which vnto me and I thinke to euery one would séeme absurd and be the ruine of Citie and common wealth Epilogus THe Pestilence being in scripture phrase an extraordinarie stroke of God by the ministrie of his Angell whereupon often-times visible corruption ariseth and all for sinne it leadeth you Beloued First to cast your eye vp vnto God the first Mouer whether corruptiō visible be in the way yea or no. Secondly to behold the Angel of God appointed to keep vs in our way and that specially in respect of our bodies good seeing since the consummation of the Testament in Christs blood our soules are specially to be tended of true Pastors called of S. Iohn the Angels of the Churches For now no lesse then before they be ministring Spirits sent forth to Minister for their sakes which shall be Heires of Saluation Heb. 1. 14. And yet as before they are appointed of God sometimes to punish man for going out of his way Thirdly we are called to repent sinne which did moue God so to send out his Angell to smite vs euen to the raising vp of the mudde in our nature The truth of which repentance will appeare in our better care of setting right steps to to our feet and in being more carefull of performing holy duties of Charitie one to another Fourthly seeing it seizeth vpon old and yong rich and poore of all complexions whatsoeuer so well as some of all sorts are spared we are lead to acknowledge that all sorts haue sinned though not after the same manner of transgression Rom. 5. 14. and therefore the dutie of all to be humbled least the Niuinites condemne vs. Fiftly the Angels of the Church from the like in the Angels of heauen are to comfort and cheare vp such as be in their Christian way as also to reproue and sharply correct such as be out of that way The first they are to do with the voyce of the glorious Gospell or glad tidings of Christ Iesus who hath taken away the sting of death to them The second they are to doe by the terror of Moses lawe which bringeth with it to the infidelious vnrepentant curse and condemnation Andin so doing they may with good consicnece make that prayer Thy will be don in the earth that is of people in the earth as it is done in heauen that is of the blessed Angels that attend the word of the father in heauen And thus with my heartie prayer vnto God first for the remission of all our sinnes and secondly for his grace to stablish vs in euery good worke for the glory of his name I commend you vnto him that is able to present our bodies and soules faultles before the throne of iudgment who spread his wyngs of sauing protection ouer vs and his whole Church for euer Amen FINIS * 1.
