A76214	Short instructions for the sick: Especially who by contagion, or otherwise, are deprived of the presence of a faithfull pastor. / By Richard Baxter.	Baxter, Richard, 1615-1691.	1665 (1665)	Wing B1416A; ESTC R172655	4,416	1

a sinful and of a holy life Had it not been better that you had valued Christ and Grace and lived in the love of God and in the joyful hopes of the life to come and denyed the sinful desires of the flesh and been ruled by the Law of God and spent your time in preparing for eternity Do you not heartily wish that this had been your course Would you take this course if it were to do again and God recover you Repent repent from the bottom of your heart of the time you have lost the mercy you have abused the grace you have resisted of all your fleshly worldly desires words and deeds and that you gave not up your soul and life to the Love of God and life eternal V. And now resolvedly give up your self in a hearty Covenant to God! Though it be late he will yet accept and pardon you if you do it in sincerity Take God for your God your portion and felicity to live in his Love and praise for ever Take Christ for your Saviour to teach and rule and justifie you and bring you unto God and the holy Spirit for your Sanctifier and certainly God will take you for his Child But see that you be truly willing of his Grace and resolved never to forsake him more O happy Soul if yet at last the Lord will make this change upon thee And I 'le tell you certainly how to know whether this late Repentance will serve for your Salvation or not If it be but Fear only which causeth your Repentance and the Heart and Will be not renewed but you would turn again to a fleshly worldly and ungodly life if you be recovered then it will never save your soul But if your Heart your Will your Love be changed and this change would hold if God recovered you to health again then doubt not of pardon and Salvation VI. And if God have thus changed your heart and drawn it to Himself be thankful for so great a mercy O bless him for giving you a Redeemer and a Sanctifier and the pardoning Covenant of Grace And now be not afraid or loath to leave a sinful world and come to God! Pray harder for grace and pardon than for life Commit and trust your souls to Christ He had never done so much for souls if he had not loved them and been willing to receive them How wonderfully came he down to man to bring up man to the sight of God! He is gone before to prepare us a Mansion in the City of God and hath promised to take us to himself that we may dwell with him and see his Glory The world which you are going to is unlike to this There is no pride or lust or cruelty oppression deceit or any sin No wicked men to scorn or persecute us No vanity to allure us No Devil to tempt us No corruption of our own to burden or endanger us No fears or cares or griefs or discontents No poverty sickness pain or death No doubtings of the Love of God or our Salvation But the sight of God and the feelings of his Love and the fervent flames of our Love to him will be the everlasting pleasure of the Saints These will break forth in triumphant and harmonious thanks and praise in the presence of our glorified Redeemer and in concord with all the heavenly Hosts the blessed Angels and the Spirits of the Just This is the end of faith and holiness patience and perseverance When Hell is the end of unbelief ungodliness sensuality and hypocrisie How justly are they condemned who sell their part of endless Joyes for a shadow and dream of transitory pleasures and can delight more in the filth of sin and in a fading vanity than in the Love of God and the fore-thoughts of Glory What Love can be too great what Desires too fervent what prayer and labour can be too much what suffering too dear for such a Blessedness VII Lastly Because there are many cases of the sick which require the presence of a judicious Divine if it be possible get the help of such if not remember that God is just in denying men that mercy in their distress which in the time of their health and prosperity they rejected with scorn contempt and cleave to him whom you may enjoy for ever LONDON Printed by Robert White for Francis Tyton at the three Daggers in Fleet-street And for Nevill Simmons Book-seller in Kederminster Anno Dom. 1665.
