A78576	The preacher, or the art and method of preaching: shewing the most ample directions and rules for invention, method, expression, and books whereby a minister may be furnished with such helps as may make him a useful laborer in the Lords vineyard. / By William Chappell Bishop of Cork, sometime Fellow of Christs College in Cambridge.; Methodus concionandi. English	Chappell, William, 1582-1649.; Brough, W. (William), d. 1671.	1656 (1656)	Wing C1957; Thomason E1707_1; ESTC R209506	52,143	230

same genus Or if we take it a part from the equall the reason of the consequence is from that community which intercedes to us with that species which community is the cause of that parity or equality because essences of things are in the indivisible and the genus where it communicates communicates the whole And so fals to the same place 15. A mediate argumentation requires first that the medium or means doe truly appertain to the Hypothesis Secondly that from the Hypothesis as under that means we argue to the Thesis so far as the means belongs to that genus which is in the Hypothesis 16. We may argue from the Hypothesis to the Thesis by a reduplicative term added to the genus applyed to the Hypothesis either mediately or immediately because there is an effectual illation or inference from the quatenus ipsum as it is it self to the de omni of all Abraham as he was to be justified according to the reason of the second Covenant was justified by faith Ergo every one that is so to be justified is justified by faith 17. We may also argue from the Hypothesis to the Thesis in that respect in which it will not bear the reduplicative term so that under that respect it contain that which shall bear that term David not as he was a believer but being a believer did commit adultery Ergo he could but not as he was a believer or according to that principle but according to nature which he had common with all believers hindred by no necessity from commiting such a sin Ergo a believer may commit adultery or a devouring sin Ergo a King Ergo a Prophet Ergo one that had more then sufficient help to the contrary Ergo one who was abounding in or cumulated with Gods blessings may c. 18. And these few things I thought good to point at concerning this head of Deduction from the Hypothesis to the Thesis of which there is a frequent abuse not that I thought a thing of much latitude could be concluded in this short compendium but that I might give others occasion of searching out this place more diligently CHAP. XVI Of the use of Instruction IT remains that we treat of the use in specie which hath respect to the mind or understanding heart or the will and affections The first head of use is in the applying of the Doctrine to the mind or understanding And here because the heart or will hath a great influx into the mind according to that Those things which we will we easily believe therefore it is lawful though it is possible and customary to falter exceedingly in this thing it is lawfull I say in a good cause to insinuate something either hiddenly or openly whereby we may possesse the hearers affections and by them as by setting scaling ladders invade the fort of the mind 2. The first Use belonging to the mind is Instruction informing it with some Divine truth derived out of the axiome and contained in it as in a principle This use the Apostle seems to signifie by his 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 for instruction 2 Tim. 3.16 To this belong all the consectarie speculatives flowing from the Doctrine This place may be amplyfied more or lesse so it be done perspicuously and according to the capacity of the hearers Crypsis 3. If the use of Instruction as it sometimes happens may be referred also to some of those which have a respect to the heart it will be more commodious to leave this place void then those especially where the thing or matter of the heart is rather in agitation then that of the mind and it is of more concernment to have the affections moved or setled then to have the understanding informed CHAP. XVII Of Refutation 1. THis use also hath a relation to the mind It s work is to obviate or meet with errors opposite to the Divine axiome Either in manner of an Antidote to those things by which the hearers may any way be endangered Or in manner of a remedy against those which begin to creep or take head amongst them To this seemes to have relation that of the Apostle 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 for reproof 2. But when one makes use of this he must again and again beware lest he refute and condemn those for errors which are not errors For if it be woe unto him whosoever he be that cals light darknesse much more woe shall it be to that Ambassadour who in the place or stead and name of God and o● his Christ under the pretence of the holy Spirit before the holy Angels and the Church peradventure to the prejudice of Divine truth revealed by the Son out of the bosome of the Father for the exceeding good of man shall not fear to doe this in contempt of the faithful and most dear servants of God on whom he hath conferred exceeding many gifts for the good of others and on which many souls depend 3. Moreover if he attribute to any one an erroneous or heretical opinion makes him guilty in that kind he must be certain that he whom he so accuseth doth indeed maintain that opinion and also in that sense and degree both real and mental as is imputed to him But of this he cannot be certain by any bodies testimony who is of the adverse part although he otherwise be no way an evill man Who although he pretend to cite out of the Author himself the precise words in which the error or heresie is thought to be contained yet he ought not rashly to be believed For peradventure which is the nature of prejudice especially joyned with intemperacy he takes one thing for another one Author for another one word for another peradventure he utters mutilated and half sentences or if whole ill pointed peradventure he addes somewhat of his own peradventure keeping the words he seigneth to them another and alien sense wide from the Authors mind the text it self and scope contradicting it For all these things may be done not only fraudulently but sometimes also through unskilfulnesse or perturbation of mind 4. If he confute any under the name of some Church or Congregation he must look he doe not call in question some private mens assertions for received articles of that Church or Congregation For it will be unjust to burden the whole with the errors of some or to require that which some one holds to be maintained by all 5. If he undertake to confute some who hold opinions against our Church he must first make that plain that the article which their opinion contradicts is indeed an article of our Church and not only his or some other private spirits though they be many 6. If he doe not only accuse the opinion which he confutes and the defenders of it for the bare crime of error or falsehood but also pursue them for blasphemers profane people enemies to the Evangelical consort joyned in affinity with hereticks and heresies which
