word is now the same sinne that it was then And therefore if wee continue in the contempt of God and his word as they did no doubt wee shall haue the like punishment as they had that is to haue the word taken from vs and gyuen to a nation which will bringe forth the fruite thereof for myne owne part I pray God I may not see it but God knoweth I looke for it And I doubte not but when this time shall come which God defend a number of those which now loath the word wil then lacke it we feede now at the full heape God be thanked for it wee haue his word at wil yeaeuē til we be weary of it especially in towns hereabout we haue time giuen vs to assēble our selues in prayer to God and to receiue the Sacrament of the Lords supper a great deale more then we will bestow that way these are the dayes of ioy and happinesse if we well vse them But alas how miserable shall our frate be if that come to passe which Christe doeth threaten to the contemners of his woord Luk 17.22 The dayes will come when yee shall desire to see one daye of the Sonne of man and shall not see it Then one Sermon would be pleasaunt but you shal not heare it Then one day to assemble in prayer vnto GOD and other good exercises of Christianitie shall be wished for Amos. 8.11 but hardlye founde yea then saith God I will sende a famyne in the Lande not a famyne of Bread nor a thyrste of Water but a famyne of hearing the worde of the Lorde and they shall wander from Sea to Sea and from the North to the Easte shall they runne to and froe to seeke the worde of the Lorde and shall not finde it A wise man saieth Salomon doth see the plague comming and doeth auoyde it Pro. 22.3 We see the greeuousnesse of this sinne of the contempt of Gods worde wee knowe the iustice of God in punishing the same sinne And we can imagine beefore it come to passe how miserable the dayes wil be if it please GOD to punishe vs with the losse of his woorde Then if wee bee wyse let vs take heede that by our wickednesse wee drawe not this plague vnto vs. Let vs turne vnto GOD nowe whyle hee may bee found let vs kisse his Sonne before hee be angry let vs receiue his word thankfully now it is offered let vs heare it dutifully and followe it obedientlye yea and let vs not forget to call vppon God diligentlye and earnestly that it would please him to continue increase his worde amonge vs and to thrust foorth such labourers into his harnest as may not seeke their owne wealth and pleasure but Gods glorye and the saluation of his people Alwayes hauing in minde how miserable our dayes will bee if it please GOD to punishe vs with the losse of his worde which no doubt is Gods iust iudgment for the contempt of the same But me thinkes I am past doubt that when Christe the Prophetes and Apostles doe teach that the taking away of the worde is a iust punishment for the contempt therof the worst part of the Iewes whom chiefly it should touche doe like it well enough Yea and with vs a number of Papistes and Atheistes are not greeued when they heare of the losse of the worde no they say this is that which they looke for for they make account that then they shall lyue at pleasure and sinne without controlment But knowe they whatsoeuer they be that God hath other punishmentes in store for such as contemne his worde and take it not for a punishment to be depriued of the the same word as that which Elihu doeth tell vs If they will not heare Iob. 36.12 they shall passe that sword die without knowledge As if he should say vnto vs you are contēners of the word and you care not for the losse thereof no you account it gaine rather then losse wel God hath yet an other punishmēt in store the Pope hath a sword Spayne hath a sworde Fraunce hath a sworde the wicked euerye where haue a sworde ready prepared for your blood to that you shall goe and vpon that you shall die without the knowledge of God Yea but you will say we be Catholiks and if this come to passe we will take their part But I say thinke not to escape the better for that For there is no people so simple but they can tell that those which are not true to their owne natiue Country nor obedient to their own naturall Prince they wil neuer be true nor obedient vnto strangers And this it is that experience hath taught in al ages Whensoeuer any countrey was by the inhabitants thereof delyuered by treason or trecherie into the handes of the enimie for the moste parte those which were the delyuerers were first put to the sword And I am fully perswaded that if that day should come which a number of our Papists do looke for that they them selues shoulde firste taste of the sworde It doeth stande with Gods Iustice that as they haue moste despised the word so they should first feele the sworde It standes with pollicye not to truste the vntrustie And let them thinke of this as God shall put in their mindes for myne owne parte if I were a Papiste and an enemy to God and his worde as they bee and did beare a traytorous minde towarde my prince and countrey as they doe I should surely looke for this reward Elithu here would tell me pollicy woulde perswade and the consideration of Gods Iustice would binde me to confesse I am one of those which despise the worde of God I must therefore be one of them which muste taste of that whipp which God doth keepe in store to punish this sinne But let it be that we haue a way to escape this rod yet let vs imagine if wee wyll that Gods worde in this poynt is not true and that God eyther can not or els wyll not punish vs this way yet let vs knowe that God is iust and as he did seuerely punishe this sinne in the Iewes so hee will also surely be reuenged of the same sinn in vs for eyther God will send strong delusions that we should beleeue lies to our confusion 2. Thes 2.11 which would not receiue the trueth to our saluation as Paul doth threaten the Thessalonians or els hee will giue vs the spirit of slumber eies that we shall not see eares that we should not heare that is god will take from vs his spirite and grace and then we shal neither beleeue his word nor haue any desire to bee obedient to his will no not if wee woulde desire But howsoeuer it is or howesoeuer it please God to punish this sinne moste assuredly it shall stande which the holy Ghoste hath spoken by the mouth of Solomon Hee that despyseth the worde shall perish for it Pro. 13.13 but
