God is on my side what then can man or flesh doe vnto mee Peace with death Psal the 3. so that although thousands should set theÌ„selues in battayle array against mee I should not sleepe a whit the worse because he is on my side Peace with the graue and with hell for is it not he that bringeth to the graue and rayseth vs vp againe and what can death bring vnto mee but life Death which is but for a moment life eternall 1 Cor. 15. the 54.55 Death is swallowed vp into victory Our Lord Iesus hath not he triumphed for vs O death where is thy victory Henceforth where are thy triuÌ„phs Hell where is thy sting The power of sinne being now abolished by grace And therefore wee haue peace with all seing al their might and weapons turne to our peace all their curses into blessings all their gashes how terrible soever they may be are turned into balme their tempests into safe havens All these things I say and all others whatsoever worke together as sayth the Apostle vnto our good and that because of the loue of God which is purchased for vs by Iesus Christ for in steade of a judge he is now become a father and of a iust revenger a gracious protector disposing all against the haire to our victory to our peace to our glory and salvation Peace also amongst our selues with our brethren though some be hardly and not easily to be reconciled yet when we come to consider what and how many offences God hath forgiven vs and doth also daily forgiue vs even that God who is judge soveraigne Lord of all the world not sparing his owne Sonne for the ransome of our sins what offence then ought there to be so grievous vnto vs that should make vs to beare malice in our hearts against our brother or what pardon should seeme hard or difficult vnto vs be it to require be it to graunt to keepe backe or recover friendship with them But there is yet more for will they nill they thou hast peace with them though it be wanting on their part whilst thou giuest not place to wrath whilst thou renouncest revenge in doing good for evill Rom. 12.20 When thou holdest thy selfe for revenged by doing them good A glorious revenge and of a high straine farre more glorious then any other for ther by though they make not vse of it thou heapest coales of fire vpon their heads And such was that peace which David that valourous Prince had who overcame a Lyon with his strength a Goliah by his prowesse who had both given and also wonne so many battayles who fasted and put on sackcloth for his enemies who in the middest of the ruine which they plotted against him begged of God their life having them in his full power was contented with the skirt of his garment Lord sayth he if I haue not kept him who wrongfully oppressed mee let the Enemie pursue mee and take me let him treade my life vpon the ground and lay my honor in the dust Psal 7. A true figure of him who here leaues vnto vs his peace and yet more liuely in his owne example who prayed for those that crucified him and was crucified for them that offended him This Philosophy nay rather Chivalry how farre remote is it from that of the world Moreover he tells vs hereafter that hee leaveth it not vnto vs as the world doth Now peace in our selues behold the principal peace for in vaine will it be for vs to haue peace without vs if wee haue warre within vs health in the Cittie if the Plague be in our bosome if our conscience accuse vs if our sinnes warre against vs But is it possible to smoother sin in our selues Let vs if we can But who can doe it and who is it that doth not every houre kiddle it Yea rather giue fire as it were vnto it We would faine still the sting of Conscience Alas the remedie is worse then the disease What will it be but a gangrene in stead of an vlcer Let vs then imbrace that grace which God offereth vnto vs in Iesus Christ by a liuely faith Let vs awaken our Conscience to find out her sinnes to search her wounds to the bottome being assured that in confessing them it shall besayd vnto vs goe in peace and in laying them open it shall become our healing And which is more wee shall be strengthened in spirit to wrestle against flesh and bloud against all spirituall powers and wickednesses so that the flesh striving within vs against the spirit wee may notwithstanding say with the Apostle Gal. 2.20 In that I liue now in the flesh I liue yet by the faith of the Sonne of God who hath loved me and given himselfe for mee Though I fight and the Combat be sharpe yet the quarrell is just and the issue certaine I haue kept the faith sayth S. Paul therefore the Crowne of righteousnesse is layd vp for me 2 Tim. 4.8 These things haue I sayd vnto you sayth our Lord vnto his Apostles that you might haue peace in mee in the world you shall haue affliction yea he foretold them of all sorts of afflictions Whence then is this peace He addeth but be of good courage I haue overcome the world and am now about to giue it the last deadly blow for you principally as for my selfe it is alreadie overcome the victory is yours which obtaines for you perfect peace that is your reconciliation with God and the consequent thereof a freedome from all perills and feare For if whilst we were enemies there being nothing in vs nor ought that could proceede from vs which did not provoke his anger wee were reconciled to God by the death of his Sonne Rom. 5.10 being now reconciled his good favour being restored againe vnto vs shall wee not then much more be saved by his life He living in vs raigning for vs who vouchsafed to dye for vs Is not the Kingdome of God within vs to wit righteousnesse as the Apostle sayth peace and ioy Rom. 14.17 Hence it is that the Apostle amongst the fruits of

judgements of God against Kings and against Nations after them the Apostles sent to Preach the onely word of salvation vnto the ends of the world to the ruine of false gods and of their Idolls the pretended protectors of States and of Common-weales Those Prophets and Apostles being consequently bound to defend their cause against the persecution of those who disgraced them And so in like manner those who in the Church as they are dispensers of the Gospell hold their place at this day For with what confidence and with what wisedome did Elias and Elizeus with their cloakes stand against Kings Princes and the Priests of Israel Iohn Baptist with his garment of Cammels haire withstood King Herod The Apostles being poorefishermen and vnlearned vndertooke the ruine of Sathans kingdome the Conquest of the world vnder the Crosse of Christ Therefore let those who succeede them in this office accept of this Commission in all humilitie and say Lord who am I that thou hast called mee therevnto And what man is he though never so great that is sufficient for it But yet as vncapable as I am even the least in my selfe yet being assisted by thee who art the greatest what am I not able to doe For so Esay sayth Isa 6. Woe is me for I am vndone because I am a man of polluted lips no sooner had God touched his lips with a liue coale from the Altar but he changeth his speech Who shall I send sayth the Lord he answeres chearefully behold I am here send mee But with what Commission Say vnto this people in hearing you shall heare and not vnderstand c. Make fatte the heart of this people c. Let a man haue ten times as many naturall gifts as Esay had could he without this assistance from the Lord haue vndergone this Charge In like manner the Prophet Ieremy I haue set thee this day sayth the Lord over Nations and over Kingdomes that thou shouldest plucke vp and pull downe that thou shouldest build and plant A pooresilly Priest of Anothoth Iere. 1.1 Therefore he that will wonder let him yet wonder at it Ah Lord God beholde I cannot speake saith he for I am but a childe And behold he had no sooner touched his mouth but presently he girdeth vp his reynes and is resolved that whereas be-before he acknowledged himselfe to be but a childe now he begins to be a man and the terror of men So likewise Christ tells the Apostles Math. 10.19 Yee shall be brought before Kings and you shall beare witnesse of mee even to the ends of the earth being but men of meane condition to stand astonished at the onely looke of a man of authoritie the boldest amongst them at the word of a poore silly mayd But take no care sayth the Lord I will put that into your mouth at the very instant which you shall say Feare not saith he also vnto S. Paul hold not thy peace Act. 18.10 for I am with thee And what he sayd to them let vs take as spoken vnto all vnto all who are Ministers of the same word being never destitute of his spirit nor of his strength to the pulling downe s yth the Apostle of strong holds 2 Cor. 10. casting downe all counsells and every high thing which exalts it selfe against the knowledge of God bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ having vengeance ready prepared against all d sobedience What can be said more And be not dismayd at this that the liue coale hath not touched thy lippes nor the breath of Christ breathed vpon thee the signes of his word and spirit provided that thou hast his Commission with thee and his word in thy mouth Those signes had their place once for all Timothy had not received them whom notwithstanding the Apostle summons before God and before the Lord Iesus vnto whom he shall giue an account 2 Tim. 4.1 2. Where he sayth Preach the word But how in season and out of season reproue rebuke exhort doe the worke of an Evangelist It may be thou shalt be hated of those which are without and despised sometimes of those within wilt thou haue it bteter cheape then the Mr of the Vineyard Which of the Prophets or which of the Apostles were not abused stoned and vexed Say with David Psal the 31. I haue beene a reproach vnto my adversaries vnto my neighbours much more and those of my acquaintance seeing mee fled from me But Lord I haue sayd thou art my God I trust in thee Learne thou also with the same great Apostle 2 Cor. 6.7.8 to goe through honour and dishonor through good report and evill report by the word of truth by the power of God by the armor of righteousnesse on the right hand and on the left Be not discouraged also if thou fallest vpoÌ„ a barren ground as it were sowed with salt vpon a brutish and stiffe-necked people Who hath beleeved sayth Esay our report And after him our Saviour himselfe Ioh. 12.36 And of sixe hundred thousand which went on t of Aegypt with Moses ready armed how few of them entred into the Land of promise Of so many people whom our Lord had healed had preached vnto even the eternall word how few of them did beleeue and continued following him How many thinkest thou were there of them who helpt to blaspheme him at his death And notwithstanding did God therefore cease to devide Canaan by lyne vnto his people The word of the Crosse did that cease to subdue the world yea to triumph in the world and over the world Heare our Saviour Christ himselfe in Esay the 49.4 complaining and in his consolation receiue thou thine I sayd I haue laboured in vaine and spent my strength for nothing notwithstanding my reward is with the Lord and my worke with my God The Lord who answeres him afterwards I haue heard thee hold it as if it were already done in an acceptable time in the day of salvation haue I succoured thee It must be a long time after least thou shouldst waxe weary yet in his time in an acceptable time in a time by him eternally pre-ordained And thus of this word which thou publishest to the clearing of his truth to the convincing of errors to the advancement of the kingdom of his Christ to the dissolution of the tyranny of Antichrist waite for the fruit and expect the effect in his time but in the meane time be not thou carelesse but vse all the means to manure the ground which he hath committed vnto thee And say vnto him Lord this ground will be but Iron if the heaven be of Brasse From thy onely blessing I waite for the fruit of my labour by thy Commandement I plant and in this hope I water And thus beholde how in the difficulties of our Callings we are to comfort our selues in the Lord. Is there no other burden which we are to cast vpon the Lord Yes verily the weightiest doth yet
