people are wicked when Paul spake of his education he said Actes 22 3 I was brought vp at the feete of Gamaliel signifying that men should honour their teachers Luke 10 39 as Mary kneeled at Christes feete and therefore the king is commaunded to receiue the lawe at the handes of the Priest 2 King 12 as Iehoash the Prince was instructed by Iehoiada the priest and they that will vnderstande the excellencie of this calling Hebr. 7 7 must knowe that when Abraham the Patriarch is blessed of Melchizedech the priest the lesser is blessed of the greater As the place is great so the pains of the Preacher cannot bee little as Paul said 1. Tim. 3 1 He that desireth the office of a Bishop desireth a worthy worke whether you take it for the place or for the paines for hee that desireth the place must deserue it with his paines because Iere. 48 10 Cursed is hee that handleth the workes of the Lorde negligentlie I tell you the small care and great ease that a number haue is a great cause why Gods building goeth forward so slackly Wisedome is not compared onelie to a feast for the pleasure of it Prou. 9 2 but to that tree of knowledge for the profite therof that men might desire to eate of it euery daie Gen. 3 22 as the people flocked about Christ to heare the worde Matth. 13.4 The feare of God is wisedoms ingresse the knowledge of God is wisedoms progresse and the glory of God is wisedoms perfection The first point is 1 Reg. 3 9 Eccles 5 16 Actes 7 22 as Salomon desired wisedome so he excelled in wisedome as Moses did in the Egyptian knowledge This was the meanes of Iosephs aduācement in Pharaos kingdome Gen. 41 40 Dan. 2 48 and of Daniels preferment in Babylon and you may see howe the spirit of Dauid the father spake in Salomon the sonne the father said Psalm 78 7 I feed Israell with a faithfull heart the sonne saide The more wise the preacher was the more hee taught the people knowledge Salomon was like his ships 1 Reg. 9 28 that when they had gotten gold at Ophir they brought it home to him for hee seeketh for wisedome to serue his people with it The Queene of Saba firste heard the reporte of Salomons great wisedome and after that shee must needes come to trye it so the wisedome of God resembleth the Adamant by drawing vnto it the furdest hart 1 Reg. 10 6 as it did the Queen of Saba and the Iron rod brusing the hardest heart Psalm 2 9 Exod. 9 27 Dan. 4 30 as it did Pharaohs and the right scepter by suppressing the proudest king as it did Nabuchadnezzar if you lacke heauenlie wisedome you must come to the Preacher in whose mouth knowledge is preserued like the manna that was laide vppe in the golden pot Exo. 16 33 for the spirits of the Prophets being subiect to the Prophets 1 Co. 14 32 1 Co. 14 12 some haue the vtterance of wisdome as Paul like a wise master builder laide the foūdation of religion in Corinth 1 Cor. 3 10 but if a man had as much wisdome as Salomon had yet so like a bottomles pitte is Gods wisedome that as hee which cannot number the starres is taught to be contēt with seeing them Iob. 22 12 so what we cannot expresse we must admire as Paul said O the depth of the riches Rom. 11 33 both of the wisedome and knowledge of God! wee may coniecture that Gods wisdome is exceeding great Matth. 2 1 in that the wise men came from the East to seeke more wisedome from his sonne And in that they only are accounted right wise Matth. 7.24 that hearing his word will bee led by it as the wisards followed the starre Matth. 2 9 For although mē say of themselues like Laodicea Apoc. 3 17 I am rich and increased in goods and haue neede of nothing yet for so much as she was wretched poore and blind therefore Paules counsell is Roma 12.3 Bee not wise in your owne conceit Matt. 23 34 And the spirit spake not in sport that saide Beholde I sende vnto you wise men but mēt that the neglecting of Gods mercie is the next way to plucke downe his iustice 1 Sam. 3 13 As old Ely brake his necke for not nurturing his young sonnes You are neuer so safe as whē ye serue God Ely forgetting God 1 Sam. 4 18 brake his necke from falling with a low chaire as soone as Iesabel by tumbling out of a high window 2 Reg 9 33 And they that stand in their owne conceit were best to take heede of a fall 1. Co. 10 12 and vse the Preachers knowledge like a looking glasse indeuouring to amend the fault while yee are before the glasse Iam. 23 24 25 least going away ye forget what was amisse And then one sinne will drawe on another as Lots daughters first made their olde father drunken Gen. 19 33 34 and then lay with him Or vse it as salt for you must haue salt in your selues as if you were either shaped out of the pillar that was Lots wife Marke 9 50 or Elizeus had sprinkled some of that salt vpon you which hee cast into the spring of Ierico 2 Reg. 2 21 Salomon will note vnto vs nowe what properties are found in a faithfull Pastor The first is knowledge or wisedom found in Salomon the Preacher as if hee had read the booke offered to Ezechiel Ezec. 2 9 The second is zealous teaching as if Salomons mouth had beene set a kindling with the coale of zeale that touched Esayes mouth Esay 6 6 for the more wise the preacher was the more hee taught the people knowledge The thirde is holy life wherein such men participate of the goodnesse of God leading men by example of life as wel as by word of mouth And therefore a booke and hande were both presented to Ieremie Iere. 1 9 And this causeth the people to heare as willingly as the preacher speaketh diligentlie As Salomon caused the people to heare so Christ saith Matt. 15 10 we must heare and vnderstand for Salomon taught the people knowledge Hauilah hath not onelie good golde but it hath also Bdelium Gene. 2 11 12 and the Onix stone and wisedome comprehendeth many good things Much teaching and little learning much speaking and little hearing much preaching and litle practising 2 Co. 14 28 maketh men in yeares children in vnderstanding The wisedome of Salomon hath proceeded immediatelie from God that graunted him that fauour in Gibeon 1 Reg. 3.6 and as God gaue it him so he giueth it to his people for such as haue freelie receiued must freelie giue When the Queene of Saba had sounded Salomons wisedome she said 1 Reg. 10 9 Blessed bee the Lorde thy God which loued thee to set
