put for the Sabbath Or rather by way of a facetious jesting Asteismos against the hypocriticall Sabbatism of the high priests who would so workiday-like beg the body seal the sepulchre and set a watch on the Sabbath for which Sabbath they seemed to prepare so devoutly before it came For to prepare sabbathly for the Sabbath before it come and to keep it unsabbathly when it is come is worthy of scorn Let not me be here thought to scorn at preparation for the Sabbath It is farre from my thought yea I am an enemy to them which do scorn thereat MARKE MArk 6.12 They went preaching that men should Repent And that else they should not be Members of the Church Hence 't is called the Baptisme of Repentance For of the Baptisme of Repentance we do read and not of any other Mark 7.10.11 Corban When the Father and Mother did require any help from their able Son or Daughter the Sonne or Daughter answered Corban Corban as much as to say I have given all that I am able to spare to the holy Church to pious uses So the Father and Mother must want Thus piety is made a cloak not only of covetousnesse but of unnaturall crying cruelty Mark 10.20 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 c. It is easier for a Camel to go through a needles eie By shreds possibly a Camel may be forced through a needles eie but a Rich man must enter willingly into the Kingdome where he must forsake all his riches and life also This Kingdome is hard to be willingly entred Mark 3.33 Who is my Mother or my Brethren Perhaps to save his Father and Mother from being noted by the Pharises then present Christ may put off the propounder with this kind of answer especially if the propounder was Malignant as by his unseasonablenesse he may seem to be Mark 10.31 Last first first last Bold demand doth not so soon speed as modest silence Mark 14.51 A young man with linnen about his bare body The sheet of his bed perhaps whence he started out of bed to see what noise and stirre that was which he heard in the night Men will leave all and runne away naked rather then suffer with Christ whereas they should leave all to suffer with him naked Christ is left to suffer alone Mark 15.36 He who brought the Vinegar is said to say Let alone let us see c. And in Mat. 27.49 others are said to say so to him His staying at their bidding was a reall saying and both of them a reall mocking Mark 16.15 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 To the whole creation Creation put for the people in the whole creation An ordinary Metonymie of the conteining for the conteined More rationall then the preaching of the Gospel to every creature as it is fabled that a Popish Saint Francis from this Text took occasion to do LUKE Luke 1.15 HE shall be filled with the Holy Ghost 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 now from his Mothers wombe The spirit of God which moved upon the face of the waters to cherish and preserve them Gen. 1. shall be present with him to cherish and preserve him and as his capacity shall more and more grow so shall the same spirit be more and more exhibited unto him Quicquid recipitur recipitur ad modum recipientis When he was a Child hee could but receive as a Child As it was with John the Baptist so it may be with other Children And it was not for any thing I know otherwise with him then it may be with another child Luke 1.17 Hee shall turne the hearts of the Parents upon the Children 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Shall turne that is shall put the hearts that is the understanding of Fathers that is of the ripest in age upon the Children that is upon the meanest Member of the Church As much as to say the Kingdome of heaven or the Church which he shall preach and constitute shall consist of knowers which was not in the old Testament insomuch that the meanest Member there shall know as much as the sagest Father or Patriarch did there Sutable to the new Covenant Heb. 8.11 They shall all know me from the least of them to the greatest of them Luke 1.24 Elizabeth hid her self Concealed that she was with child till she was sure that she was with child and till appearance proved to others that she was with child People would not have beleeved it but would have scoffed her But now it is the more admirable and to her the more honourable Let God go before us in the discovery of things Luke 1.33 Of his Kingdom there shall be no end Why Because his Kingdome consisteth in sufferings For so long as persecutors last there will be sufferings There shall be no end of the comfort and glory which commeth by suffering For the sufferings of this present life do breed a far more exceeding and eternall weight of glory So that sufferings shall last till the worlds end and then shall come comfort and glory which shall have no end Luke 1.52 He hath put down the mighty from their seat In comparison of me and the honour which I have by bearing this Saviour Kings and their honour are as it were no honour as a Candle-light is no light where the Sunne shineth The honour which commeth by suffering for Christ is greater honour then that which commeth by ruling a Kingdome The honour of Paul and of other Martyrs of Christ is greater honour then that of Alexander which conquered the world Who would not be in that Apostles condition rather then in the condition of Alexander the great Luke 6.35 Lend looking for nothing again Such may the case bee as that we may and must lend without expectation of the principall Not that we are alwayes bound to lend much lesse to forgoe the principall Indefinite propositions do not binde semper ad semper but with their limitations Luke 10.30 Wounded betwixt Jerusalem and Iericho The party to whom Christ used this Parable would have been content to have received this kindnesse from a Samaritan though himself was a Jew if he had been wounded and half dead as that Jew which is supposed in this Parable yet did he not think himself bound to shew the like kindnesse to a Samaritane wherefore Christ correcteth him teaching him to do to a Samaritane as hee would receive from a Samaritane Professors of Religion will be content to receive kindnesse where they will not bestow kindnesse but it is unconscionable Religion so to do Let such as shall sequester themselves into scanty societies examine whether they do not thereby exempt themselves from Offices of Love and Charity to the bodies and soules of such as are not of their fellowship as if they were not bound to feed cloath nor yet to minister a wholsome word of reproof or exhortation to reduce the soule of any out of sinne but such as are of themselves The poor may feare that such communities will

creature and sit in that temple not as it is dedicated to the honour of an idoll but as it stands upon Gods ground alledging for that purpose a place in the Psalm where it is said The earth is the Lords and the fulnesse thereof Psal 24.1 But if the earth be the Lords Have you not places enow upon Gods ground to go upon unlesse you go into the idols temple And if all the fulnesse of the earth be the Lords Will no meat and drink in the whole world suffice you to eat and drink except that meat which is dedicated to an idoll Thus doth the Apostle answer in the tenth Chapter repeating twice that place in Psal 24.1 by which repetition a considerate Reader may discerne that it is an answer to some objection of theirs and that they had alledged that Psal 24.1 to justifie their idolothyte eating 1 Cor. 9.21 To the Jewes I became a Jew That is I suffered so patiently under the Jewes as if I had been a Jew and so under the lawlesse as if I had been lawlesse but I was neither lawlesse nor Jew in their sense Christians do use to suffer so patiently for their good deeds as if they justly suffered for evill doing Not that Paul conformed to the lawlesse or to the Jewes in their lawlesnesse or in their Jewism Patient suffering is a means to win the persecuter if any thing will win him 1 Cor. 11.10 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Because of the Angels Women must honour men as they should honour Angels and therefore be covered in presence of men for reverence to men as unto Angels The Galatians are said to reverence Paul as an Angel of God Jacob to have seen as it were the face of God when he saw the face of Esa● pleased with him A kind of transcendency of speech much like an Hyperbole 1 Cor. 14.22 Tongues are a signe to unbeleevers That is when hearers do not understand that which is plainly spoken out of the word it is a token that they are unbeleevers Sutable to that of the Apostle If our Gospel be hid it is hid to those which perish 1 Cor. 14.30 Let the first hold his peace Not that the first should cease before his time but that the second must forbear speaking untill the first speaker hold his peace of his owne accord The sequell about avoiding of confusion sheweth this to be the meaning for ye may all prophecy one by one that all may learn and all may be comforted Whence it is likely that the Corinthians were apt to be preposterous in promoting every one himselfe before other or before their desert into the speakers place 1 Cor. 14.32 Spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets That is whosoever will not forbear till the first hold his peace shall be no prophet nor allowed to speak as a prophet by Paul's account 1 Corinth 14.31 Yee may all prophecie one by one that all may learn and all may be comforted That is all the members of the Church females excepted may prophecie provided they can and doe so prophecie that all may learn by them and all may be comforted otherwise not Now whether learning as well as godlinesse be necessary or not necessary to such prophecy as whereby all may learn and all may be comforted I leave to be further inquired of the godly learned Loth I am to deny any saint of God his priviledge which Christ hath purchased for him I have sins enow though I make not my selfe guilty of that But withall as I would not quench the spirit or despise prophecie in the meanest who prophesieth according to the proportion of faith and of grace or gift by him received within the limits of learning and comfort by the Apostle here set so do I judge that doctrine neither holy humble comfortable nor true but a quencher of the spirit a despiser of prophesying which either excludeth learning from prophecie or doth preferre non-learning before learning in prophecie which doctrine hath been published printed and maintained by some who knew not what learning was in this wanton age of ours Witnesse their owne assertion That a non-scholar is to be chosen Pastour in the Church of Christ rather then a Scholar though the Scholar be equally gifted graced spirited in all other things Witnesse a second assertion of the same authour That learning which he all the way expresseth to be Arts and Tongues is accursed from a spirituall use He delivereth I say That learning is accursed from a spirituall use with many more witnesses then two or three which are sufficient to prove the author and maintainers of those doctrines so far forth to have blasphemed against the Scriptures forasmuch as no one sentence of Scripture was written without the art of Grammar neither possibly could unlesse the Reader should be left void of the letter and of the sense But of these it may be said in a sense Father forgive them they know not what they doe Father forgive them they know not what they say For some of them being demanded whether the holy Ghost in the constitution of Scripture do regard the congruity of the Adjective with his Substantive that is whether the Adjective doth use to agree with his Substantive in the constitution of Scripture they have answered as some did about the holy Ghost That they do not know any Adjective or Substantive to be in the Scripture at all And what was the answer of these some we are sure might be the answer of all the rest which so teach for any learning which they are guilty of But in the mean time let the remnant of them learn not to blaspheme They have spoken evill of the things which they know not one mark amongst many more of the unlearned false teachers of these later dayes 2 Pet. 2.12 compared with 2 Pet. 3.16 the very verse by this undertaker wrested against learning as aforesaid So justly hath his arrow being shot up against learning returned upon his own head If he and his Executors had had as much ambition unto learned prophesying as they had ambition to prophesying such as it was they had been as godly as now they were ungodly and they had been as true as now they were lying Vngodly I say for Can there be greater ungodlinesse then to put down learned prophesying by a law or by a doctrine in the name of the Lord and to advance ignorance of the Originall Tongues and Arts which make for the understanding of the Scriptures as if that ignorance of Hebrew Greek Grammaticall and other learning were the only learning whereby the Scriptures can be understood I am not afraid to pronounce this doctrine which is against learning aforesaid to be a mocker proud envious hypocriticall and one of the greatest lies which ever was told in the name of the Lord since the world began What could the Divell do if he were in the likenesse of a man more worthy of himselfe then to destroy
