which peace onely we ought to stryue for all other peace is meare warres with god Thus much of the shepheardes roddes and staues and nowe we proceede to the .5 verse which sayth Thou doest prepare a table before me in the sight of myne aduersaries Thou dost anoynt my heade with oyle and my cup runneth ouer Doubtles kindnes and mercy shall follovv me all the dayes of my lyfe and J shall remaine a long season in the house of the Lord. Though mine enemyes sayth Dauid seeke to destroy me yet thou Lorde doest not onely deliuer me but also in despite of their fury dealest most liberally with me as menne doo with their chiefest friendes in this our lande of Iury. Bydden to their sumptuous feastes they anoynt their heades with pleasant Oyle and gyue them Cuppes of large importe and them moste amplie fylled So haste thou and muche more aboundantly delt with me and wilt after for thy mercy is suche as kindnes shall follow me during lyfe And for this thy mercy in my prolonged dayes I shall alway in them seeke to serue thee in thy holy house Because I haue long troubled you I wil omit to speake here of the prouidence of God in them which be his and persecuted of the multitude but such it is that their deuises the Lorde doth laugh to skorne and erecteth his beloued vp to honor maugre their berdes Or more to say of the difference betwixte the papist and the faithful protestant the one with the Iew is euer gaping after good but after the godly Gods blessing runneth them to comfort euen as the Ryuer from Moses Rocke flowed after Israell to be their drinke spirituall sacrament Or once to touch that longing lust which ought to be in Dauids lyue in all christian heroicall honorable worshipfull godly riche and meaner persons that is a dayly desire to serue God yea euen in the house of prayer with the floke of Christs folde I was glad saith Dauid of those which sayde vnto me Come we will go into the house of the Lorde together Your olde chaples your priuate houses O ye states of the earth are for the most part an occasion of great losse to your selues Ye so seperate your selues from the common exercise of Christes sheepe Ye lacke the doctrine which other there receiue to their greate comfort Ye keepe your families froÌ„ grace be euill examples to the vulgar sorte Ye expresse the small loue to those that be like Dauid whiche if you mende not can not but bring you from his god our sheheard Christ whose desire is to haue his sheepe come together Where two or three be gathered together in my name saith Christe there am I in the middest of them Gather the people sayth God sanctifie the congregation gather the Elders assemble the children those that sucke the brest let the bridegrome go out of his chamber and the Bride out of her closet Let the Priests the ministers of the Lord weepe betweene the porch and the Alter and let them say Spare thy people O lord c. This was the order in the Apostles churche as Paule affirmeth in his first epistle to the Corrin saying I prayse you not that you come together not with profite but with hurt For firste of all vvhen you come together in the churche J heare that there is dissention among you Againe if therefore vvhen the vvhole church is come together in one c. In this churche were of greate byrth lyke welth and stately condition yet they came together in one they assembled them selues in the church they kept not some their priuie chaples other their dining chambers but most of all their slÃ©eping heades Looke to this you states be not so stately that you set your selues stiffe necked to the Lorde frequent his house adsociate his people conioyne with his churche to heare the Lorde by his ministers speake vnto you that your common cry with the reste may ioyntly pearce the eares of Gods most louing maiestie in the throne of his mercy seat In hope of your content hereto I say nothing hereof but as you see runne from the same in haste to ende But because of the holy communion to the which we purpose in the Lorde one worde thereof and so an ende Paule the Apostle taketh occasion by the temporall blessing of God vpon the Israelites in Manna and the stony rocke to deliuer to the Corrinthians sound doctrine in sacraments And yf the same with the rest of holy scripture be writteÌ„ for our learning why should I forget so good and apt a lesson as both his example our present ministration and this our profitable texte doth offer vnto me c. Dauid speaketh of his Crowne and Diademe with the Appendices Neither doth he forget the spirituall comfortes that from the Lorde he dayly receiueth by the seales of the lords righteousnes his sacred sacraments The sacrameÌ„ts of Gods church are only two The lauer of baptisme and the Table of the Lorde In the Supper at this table prepared without our prouision and desert of God in his Christ the faithfull do receiue two things that of two seuerall persons sacred bread wyne at of the externall preaching ministry the only fyt ministre for the same by the inward secret omnipotent inuisible worke of the holy ghost in soule by fayth truely fixed in christ they verely eat receiue the very true substantiall body of Iesus Christ still sitting at the right haÌ„d of his heueÌ„ly father in maiesty on hie By faith he is receiued by gods spirit he is deliuered in soule he is eaten for the diet is spirituall and can not be pressed with mans carnall tÃ©eth That of the minister we receiue only bread and wine the holy Apostle Paule fyue times telleth vs in the deliuerie therof to the Corinthians 1 epist. chap. 11. And the auncient Fathers say the same amongst whom S. Ciprian doth stand approued and he sayth thus of the Eucharist Dedit itaque dominus noster in mensa c. Therefore our Lorde Christe in his laste supper which he made with his Apostles gaue to them at that table Bread wine with his owne handes but vppon the Crosse by the hands of the cruell tormenters he gaue his body wounded for vs Sunt quae erant sayth Ambrose speaking of the Elementall bread and wine The same they were they are and are chaunged into another vse If the sacramental bread be the very body of Christ after coÌ„secration then the wicked aswell eate Christes body as the godly But this the auncient fathers doe denie Origen saith Est verus Cibus Christ is the true meate which no euill and wicked man can eate For if the wicked man could in the Sacrament eate the body of the Lord then should it not be written Qui edit hunc panem He that eateth this bread shall lyue for euer

Christe but it is the worke of God in him The order also in our conuersion to the Lorde is excellent The Father geueth to his Christe those whiche shall be called The holy Ghost he giueth into their hartes whom he hath predestinate to lyfe which spirite graffeth them into Christe who by his blood doth wash their soules from sinne and by the same his spirite doth forme them in his fayth whose Gospell he writeth in their hartes and sheedeth his loue into their consciences so that they walke in newnes of lyfe because they are taken vp and the olde man in them cast downe and as newe creatures they follow their leader Christe into the steppes besitting their condition These are they whiche are theodidaktoi all taught of god This elegant order is described at large by the Prophet Ezechiell in this sort A newe hart vvill I geue you and a new spirite vvill I put vvithin you I vvill take away the stony hart out of your body and vvill geue you an hart of flesh and I vvill put my spirite vvithin you and cause you to vvalke in my statutes and you shall keepe my iudgements and do theÌ„ And a little after I vvill be your God and you shall be my people And agayne thus Then shall ye remember your owne vvicked vvayes and your deedes vvhiche vvere not good and shall iudge your selues vvorthy to haue bene destroyed for your iniquities and abhominations Be it knowne to you that J doo not this for your sakes sayth the Lord God therefore be ashamed and confounded for your owne vvayes And Paule to the Romanes hath it thus Those which he knew before he also predestinate to be made like to the image of his sonne that he might be the first borne among many brethren Moreouer Whom he predestinate them also he called and whom he called them also he iustified and vvhom he iustified them also he glorified This is the golden gifte of god thus is oure newe creation lincked in this precious chayne The celestiall god hath inwardly beyonde tyme predestinate and created his people to the likenesse of hys sonne and hath by his holy spirite sealed them to him selfe and by thexternal Organ his holy worde through the ministerie of preaching in their seuerall times hath he called his sheepe to the knowledge of their shepheard Christ and state in him and by his bloody death hath iustified them before and with his supernaturall power hath made them glorious with the Angels So our conuersion as it is by the Lord so is it by his spirite and gospell wrought in vs Howe necessarie then the office of preaching is you see it is the instrumentall cause of our conuersion How miserable that place is which wanteth preaching may you perceyue by the glory that commeth through dayly teaching Christ by the truth in his word For this cause Christe so often Iohn Baptist so diligentlye the Prophetes seuerely the Apostles moste playnelye the Pastours and spirituall shepeheards in Gods Churche nowe moste comfortablye doe offer and exhibite vnto you the trueth of God to tourne your heartes By the preaching of the worde the worlde from tyme to tyme hath bene wonne to Christe the sonne of God and by the same the Gentiles are conuerted into him hereby this nation is chaunged into truth and Popery ouerthrowen by this shall the hartes of the children he turned to the fayth of their fathers in God and the Reprobate shall heerewith be condemned And this propertie Dauid giueth to the worde The Lawe of the Lorde sayth he conuerteth the soule the testimonie of the Lorde is faythfull and giueth light vnto the eyes The necessitie of teaching Paul preacheth to be great woe vnto me if I preache not sayth he where preaching fayleth the people perish sayth Salomon Fayth commeth by hearing of the word of God sayth Paule to the Romaines without fayth can not a man please God by faith we shall be more then conquerours he that beleeueth shall be saued but he that beleeueth not shall be damned sayth our doctor Christe Fayth is brought by hearing hearing wayteth of the Preacher the Preacher is dombe vnlesse he be sent pray therefore the Lorde of truth to send more store of true paynfull Preachers into this Churche of Englande and this shire and conuert in mercy or confound by Iustice these dombe Dogges whiche can not barke these watchemen whiche can not see these ydol shepheards which eyther can not or will nor feede the hungry Lambes of Gods holy Church and shepefold of this nation O Lord graunt this for thy Christ our chiefe shepheards sake Now deare freends examine your selues here present Is this holy chaunge wrought in you maye I say vnto you with Paule Ye were sometime Gentiles ye vvere dead in sinne ye vvere without God in this lyfe But you hath he quickened you hath he called you that were no people hath he nowe made the people of God you are no more straungers and forreners but Citizens with the Saincts and of the housholde of God buylt not vpon the Romishe rocke but vpon the doctrine of the Apostles and Prophetes Iesus Christe him selfe beeing the head corner stone in whom my brethren if you be by his spirite grafted and buylt you shall growe to an holy temple in the lord I trust to you I may say thus Ye were Gentiles but you are Christians of the cheefest I knowe it of the rest I haue great cause to thinke it and therfore with great comfort in God I proceede to the second point He leadeth vs in the pathes of righteousnes for his names sake In God is our conuersion in him also is the continuance of our vpright walking before him First of vs is here to be noted a double righteousnes whervnto we are brought by Christ The first is the righteousnes of Christ for vs to the Father The seconde is the righteousnes of man by Christe and is the worthy walking in holines of lyfe without ceassing The righteousnesse of Christ for vs consisteth in the person of him selfe who for vs hath so answered the fathers full iustice in his iuste sacrifice and hath so incorporate vs into him selfe by fayth throughe his spirite that the same his righteousnesse is accompted for ours so that though we by nature are wicked yet in respecte of his grace we are sanctified and iust in the sight of God whose it is to saue and to condemne Of this iustification or righteousnes Paule speaketh thus God sending his owne son downe in the similitude of sinfull fleshe for sinne condemned sinne in the fleshe that the righteousnesse of the lawe might be fulfilled in vs which walke not after the fleshe but after the spirite The seconde righteousnesse is the dayly walking in newnes of lyfe which is of euery man required that thus by the Lord is iustified The grace of God sayth Paule that bringeth saluation

vnto all men appeared and teacheth vs that we shoulde deny vngodlynesse and worldly lustes and that we should lyue soberly and righteously and godly in this worlde loking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the mightie God and of our Sauiour Iesus Christe who gaue him selfe for vs that he might redeeme vs from all iniquitie and purge vs to be a peculiar people vnto him selfe zealous of good workes Into both of these Christe leadeth vs for of our selues we are vnapt inable and moste vnworthy had we power to enter into the firste to winne the latter Dayly we be looking backe from the plough where vnto we are brought by Christ therefore vnapte of oure selues to his kingdome wee haue not so much power as to think a good thought but that sufficiencie which seemeth to be in any of vs the same is of God who doth both beginne the worke of God and performe the same in vs The better learned we be in God the more fully we see our vnworthines to be accompted members of his righteousnes As the Prophet Ezechiell sayth I will deliuer you from all your filthines c. Then shall yee remember your own wickednes and your deedes that were not good shall iudge your selues worthy to haue bene destroyed Zacheus was the best disposed man in that people and the more graces he had with the Centurion the more vnworthy he thought him selfe of Christes presence at his house but beeing comforted by Christ he tooke most ioy therein Finally let vs note the valor of this worde He leadeth vs. That we are righteous before God it is that Christe our shepheard leadeth vs by his spirite and fayth vnto the throne of grace where he presenteth vs as deare children to God his father and teacheth vs to crye vnto him Abba deare father Into which state by his spirite brought we firmely see our saluation to rest in him and that we are sealed to the Lordes saluation Yea and the witnes euen Gods holy spirite from that Throne is set strongly in our harts and within vs doth beare witnes against Satan sinne and the worlde that following our God by the fayth of Christ we are become his children so righteous that no man can condeÌ„ne vs because our god hath in his Christe set vs free To the seconde he leadeth vs in him selfe first as Peter sayth Christ suffered for vs leauing vs an example that we should followe his steps vvho did no sinne neyther vvas there any guyle founde in his mouth vvho vvhen he vvas reuiled reuiled not agayne vvhen he suffred he threatned not but committed it to him that iudgeth righteously Secondly by his holy spirite he conducteth vs into all goodnes For eyther are we lead by Satan and fleshe vnto euill or by his spirite and grace into all godlynes In our selues there is no power of passing to good or will to stay from euill Of whom soeuer a man is ouercome his seruaunt he is sayth the Apostle whether of sinne vnto death or of grace vnto lyfe And those which be the sonnes of God are lead by the spirite of God and strengthned in the inner man Christ dwelleth in their harts by faith they are rooted and grounded in the loue of God they are by Christ coupled one to another in him through him they receiue the increase of the spirituall body edify one another and therefore they walke not as other Gentiles or them selues earst did in the vanitie of their mynde with darkened cogitations in blynde hipocrisie but they caste of the old man and passed conuersation and being thus renued they put on the newe which is created in righteousnes true holines after the will of God. Thus they folow by the spirite the commaundement of Paule in Christ saying Be ye followers of God as deare childreÌ„ And him self going before hath giuen vs a rule to measure the saintes imitatioÌ„ saying Folow you me as J folowe Christ The Lord graunt vs his grace and spirituall strength by prosperitie and aduersitie sycknes and health lyfe death thus to folow our leader and pastor Christe Iesus in true holinesse and righteousnes before him all the daies of this our present lyfe I dwell in speche to teach the sheepe of God onely and therefore I leaue to set you forth the pathes of the wicked goates whiche knowe not God nor can be accepted of him They runne through the pleasures of this lyfe and lyue at luste till death do suÌ„mon their soules to the tribunal throne whence they are caste to euerlastinge torments and woe But or we passe this verse we ought depely to consider the conclusion of Dauids words which are This hee doth for his names sake From the beginning the godly haue felt his defending and guiding hande by his spirite they haue bene fedde and ledde the wayes to lyue in him but neuer was there any one or could the worthines of all being layd vp into one lumpe demerite the lest his benefits or euer challenge cause beyonde his owne names sake to moue his so greate mercy to his chosen churche and children For his names sake he hath conuerted and ledde vs that is for his owne glories sake and not our worthynesse hath hee thus blessed vs Then thus the Prophet sayth That the Lorde is our shepheard that he hathe chosen vs from the wicked woorlde to be of the nomber of his elect children and sheepe of his pasture that he temporally feedeth vs that he by his spirite and the ministerie of his gospell conuerteth vs that he maketh vs righteous before his Father in him and leadeth vs by the hande into all godly actions and christian lyfe that he conducteth vs into safetie from the furie of our crooked foes and euery way blesseth vs it is not for the excellencie of our beautie for that is but grasse not for our righteousnes for that is to his eyes as a filthy meÌ„strous cloth But it is for the same cause wherwith he hath euer bin prouoked and that is for his owne glories sake So haue the Fathers from time to time confessed condemning them selues for sinne and accepting his benefites for his mercye sake and his holy names sake This is that the Prophet would haue vs to reste in when he sayth that the name of god is a strong Towre of defence For his names sake he will leade vs and nourish vs for his great names sake he will not forsake his people and for his names sake he will farre hence remoue his anger from vs The same shall cause him to preserue his truth among the gentiles And that he continueth his gospell our gracious Queene and this quiet gouerment ouer vs it is not for our worthynesse who be all for our dayly sinnes most vnworthy of his mercyes as the Lorde for euer speaketh to all fleshe thus Be it knowne vnto
