Preached and written by the reverend & godly learned M. Iohn More, late preacher in the citie of Norwitch. And now first published by M. Nicholas Bovvnd: whereunto he hath adioyned of his owne, A sermon of comfort for the afflicted: and, A short treatise of a contented mind.

whether_o it_o be_v good_a or_o evil_n we_o have_v hear_v good_a brethren_n heretofore_o how_o to_o behave_v ourselves_o one_o with_o another_o touch_v strife_n and_o contention_n that_o we_o must_v not_o be_v move_v to_o revengement_n upon_o every_o light_a occasion_n but_o put_v up_o injury_n and_o harm_n and_o pray_v for_o our_o enemy_n follow_v the_o example_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n our_o chief_a peacemaker_n with_o god_n that_o we_o every_o one_o in_o like_a manner_n shall_v be_v studious_a of_o peace_n in_o ourselves_o and_o help_v other_o to_o be_v at_o one_o among_o themselves_o that_o the_o prince_n of_o peace_n may_v rest_v among_o we_o all_o this_o we_o have_v hear_v at_o large_a declare_v unto_o we_o it_o remain_v only_o that_o we_o be_v diligent_a follower_n of_o it_o for_o thereunto_o tend_v all_o teach_n and_o preach_v to_o beat_v into_o our_o head_n knowledge_n of_o our_o duty_n towards_o god_n and_o our_o neighbour_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o only_o be_v knower_n of_o his_o will_n with_o the_o wicked_a servant_n but_o practiser_n of_o the_o same_o with_o the_o godly_a child_n and_o because_o in_o this_o point_n we_o be_v very_o dull_a &_o content_v ourselves_o often_o with_o the_o bare_a knowledge_n of_o our_o duty_n think_v it_o sufficient_a that_o we_o can_v make_v jolly_a discourse_n of_o matter_n whereof_o we_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o touch_v in_o our_o heart_n i_o have_v therefore_o choose_v out_o this_o portion_n of_o scripture_n to_o this_o end_n that_o it_o may_v partly_o awake_v we_o out_o of_o such_o a_o sound_a sleep_n of_o security_n to_o the_o more_o deep_a and_o effectual_a consideration_n of_o our_o duty_n these_o word_n as_o i_o have_v read_v they_o unto_o you_o be_v utter_v by_o the_o apostle_n to_o this_o end_n that_o he_o may_v stir_v himself_o up_o more_o fervent_o and_o earnest_o to_o the_o do_v of_o his_o duty_n not_o only_o before_o man_n in_o show_n but_o also_o sincere_o from_o the_o bottom_n of_o his_o heart_n before_o god_n the_o searcher_n of_o the_o heart_n for_o so_o it_o do_v appear_v by_o the_o verse_n go_v before_o howsoever_o it_o be_v say_v he_o whether_o it_o be_v that_o we_o be_v at_o home_o in_o this_o body_n 9_o or_o remove_v from_o home_n out_o of_o this_o body_n we_o do_v always_o endeavour_v that_o our_o action_n and_o deed_n may_v please_v our_o god_n for_o we_o must_v all_o once_o appear_v before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o god_n as_o though_o he_o shall_v say_v how_o man_n judge_v and_o esteem_v of_o i_o i_o make_v not_o so_o great_a account_n so_o that_o my_o do_n may_v be_v allow_v of_o my_o god_n for_o there_o be_v no_o remedy_n they_o must_v once_o come_v to_o be_v skan_v before_o god_n where_o all_o the_o allow_v or_o disallow_v of_o man_n can_v take_v no_o place_n 17._o and_o herein_o also_o he_o secret_o repress_v and_o beat_v back_o the_o vain_a ostentation_n of_o the_o false_a teacher_n 2._o that_o have_v nothing_o before_o their_o eye_n but_o only_o to_o have_v the_o applause_n and_o the_o like_n of_o man_n i_o dare_v not_o so_o do_v my_o duty_n say_v he_o as_o some_o teacher_n among_o you_o who_o frame_v themselves_o to_o please_v man_n but_o my_o chief_a and_o whole_a purpose_n be_v to_o please_v god_n in_o my_o call_n for_o when_o man_n shall_v have_v give_v upon_o my_o do_n their_o verdict_n and_o judgement_n either_o in_o like_v or_o dislike_n of_o i_o i_o know_v that_o when_o man_n shall_v have_v do_v with_o i_o with_o their_o judgement_n and_o censure_n that_o i_o must_v after_o all_o that_o come_v before_o god_n and_o he_o must_v take_v the_o view_n of_o i_o and_o my_o life_n not_o according_a as_o it_o have_v appear_v outward_o to_o the_o show_n of_o man_n but_o as_o it_o have_v be_v indeed_o before_o god_n and_o therefore_o i_o dare_v not_o frame_v myself_o to_o the_o only_a like_n of_o man_n but_o especial_o to_o the_o please_a of_o my_o god_n before_o who_o judgement_n seat_n i_o must_v once_o stand_v and_o that_o be_v it_o that_o make_v i_o so_o careful_a as_o he_o add_v in_o the_o verse_n follow_v not_o only_o to_o do_v my_o duty_n before_o man_n so_o true_o as_o they_o can_v not_o just_o blame_v i_o 11._o but_o especial_o to_o examine_v my_o heart_n before_o god_n that_o it_o be_v upright_o before_o he_o as_o my_o outward_a do_n be_v before_o man_n because_o i_o set_v before_o my_o eye_n this_o terrible_a judgement_n of_o the_o lord_n who_o be_v a_o sore_a revenger_n of_o all_o dissimulation_n thus_o you_o hear_v then_o for_o what_o purpose_n the_o apostle_n bring_v in_o this_o sentence_n of_o our_o appear_v before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o god_n that_o be_v to_o stir_v himself_o up_o to_o walk_v more_o sincere_o before_o god_n &_o not_o to_o be_v content_v with_o the_o applause_n or_o like_n of_o man_n it_o remain_v now_o that_o we_o gather_v our_o profit_n by_o it_o &_o apply_v it_o to_o our_o use_n that_o it_o may_v serve_v we_o in_o as_o good_a stead_n as_o it_o do_v the_o apostle_n for_o i_o need_v not_o stand_v long_o to_o prove_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o sentence_n see_v it_o be_v so_o evident_a through_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o scripture_n &_o so_o apparent_a as_o can_v be_v that_o christ_n shall_v come_v to_o judgement_n it_o be_v a_o thing_n evident_a enough_o of_o itself_o and_o deny_v of_o none_o the_o simple_a of_o all_o do_v acknowledge_v it_o every_o one_o know_v that_o doom_n day_n will_v come_v it_o be_v a_o article_n of_o our_o creed_n that_o christ_n shall_v come_v to_o judge_v we_o so_o that_o i_o need_v not_o busy_v myself_o to_o set_v out_o that_o matter_n in_o large_a proof_n which_o be_v of_o all_o so_o general_o confess_v but_o this_o especial_o we_o have_v to_o note_v out_o of_o it_o that_o we_o learn_v to_o make_v our_o profit_n &_o benefit_n by_o it_o unto_o our_o soul_n health_n as_o the_o apostle_n do_v unto_o his_o soul_n and_o apply_v it_o unto_o our_o soul_n as_o he_o do_v unto_o himself_o for_o he_o bring_v this_o sentence_n not_o to_o do_v we_o to_o understande_v that_o he_o know_v only_a and_o acknowledge_v a_o judgement_n to_o come_v for_o the_o very_a devil_n do_v in_o like_a manner_n so_o much_o &_o yet_o cease_v not_o continual_o to_o rage_v against_o god_n but_o that_o by_o the_o acknowledge_v of_o that_o judgement_n 11._o he_o be_v inward_o touch_v with_o a_o reverend_a fear_n and_o a_o earnest_a desire_n to_o do_v his_o duty_n and_o walk_v upright_o both_o outward_o before_o man_n &_o inward_o before_o god_n this_o profit_n do_v he_o gather_v to_o himself_o then_o by_o think_v upon_o the_o judgement_n to_o come_v &_o set_v it_o before_o his_o eye_n that_o thereby_o he_o be_v stir_v up_o to_o walk_v this_o life_n wary_o &_o sincere_o both_o before_o god_n &_o man_n &_o by_o this_o example_n we_o be_v admonish_v good_a brethren_n to_o do_v the_o like_a that_o be_v to_o set_v the_o remembrance_n of_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o god_n before_o our_o eye_n that_o thereby_o we_o may_v be_v raise_v from_o our_o security_n but_o alas_o we_o be_v very_o far_o from_o it_o every_o one_o of_o we_o i_o grant_v can_v confess_v and_o i_o think_v we_o do_v believe_v it_o too_o that_o christ_n shall_v come_v to_o judgement_n we_o can_v so_o say_v but_o alas_o we_o go_v no_o further_o we_o gather_v not_o hereupon_o with_o the_o apostle_n a_o lesson_n to_o ourselves_o to_o walk_v therefore_o upright_o and_o without_o guile_n before_o god_n know_v that_o all_o our_o do_n must_v once_o come_v to_o the_o scan_n before_o his_o judgement_n this_o we_o leave_v out_o and_o content_v ourselves_o only_o with_o a_o vain_a repetition_n of_o bare_a word_n in_o our_o creed_n &_o think_v that_o we_o be_v notable_a christian_n when_o we_o have_v roll_v up_o the_o word_n in_o our_o creed_n that_o christ_n shall_v come_v to_o judge_v both_o the_o quick_a and_o the_o dead_a &_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n never_o apply_v it_o to_o our_o life_n to_o take_v admonition_n thereby_o to_o walk_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o our_o god_n this_o i_o say_v man_n little_a think_v upon_o but_o we_o see_v how_o the_o apostle_n teach_v we_o another_o lesson_n by_o his_o example_n to_o apply_v the_o consideration_n of_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n unto_o our_o soul_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a to_o walk_v in_o simplicity_n before_o god_n because_o we_o can_v escape_v his_o judgement_n and_o it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n to_o learn_v it_o well_o and_o put_v it_o in_o practice_n for_o we_o see_v the_o untowardnes_n of_o the_o world_n &_o our_o own_o blindness_n how_o we_o do_v not_o only_o suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v blind_v by_o other_o but_o willing_o

take_v and_o esteem_v of_o man_n we_o will_v say_v so_o all_o of_o we_o and_o so_o will_v glad_o be_v count_v christian_a man_n well_o then_o let_v we_o look_v if_o there_o be_v love_n among_o we_o for_o say_v will_v not_o serve_v he_o tell_v we_o man_n shall_v take_v we_o for_o christian_a man_n not_o because_o we_o can_v bold_o say_v so_o but_o because_o they_o see_v among_o we_o love_n sincere_a love_n pure_a love_n no_o dissemble_n colour_v nor_o gloss_a but_o simple_a tender_a love_n one_o towards_o another_o even_o as_o he_o love_v we_o that_o be_v the_o cognisance_n whereby_o

of_o their_o several_a master_n so_o be_v this_o the_o cognisance_n and_o badge_n of_o true_a christian_a man_n from_o a_o false_a dissemble_a christian_a its_o intolerable_a to_o abuse_v any_o

as_o we_o hear_v the_o apostle_n say_v before_o that_o god_n do_v comfort_v he_o in_o all_o his_o tribulation_n and_o that_o his_o consolation_n do_v abound_v even_o as_o his_o suffering_n do_v abound_v in_o the_o mean_a season_n he_o give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o the_o affliction_n of_o the_o godly_a be_v so_o great_a that_o they_o far_o pass_v any_o strength_n that_o be_v in_o we_o to_o bear_v they_o yea_o that_o we_o be_v very_o weak_a of_o ourselves_o and_o subject_a to_o many_o infirmity_n though_o we_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n for_o it_o do_v not_o rid_v we_o of_o they_o nay_o the_o very_a apostle_n and_o paul_n himself_o confess_v that_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o have_v undergo_v so_o many_o and_o great_a thing_n as_o he_o do_v be_v a_o frail_a man_n like_o unto_o we_o but_o that_o he_o have_v the_o spirit_n help_v he_o in_o his_o infirmity_n the_o truth_n of_o which_o may_v likewise_o appear_v in_o the_o great_a complaint_n of_o david_n job_n and_o the_o rest_n who_o though_o they_o do_v patient_o bear_v many_o great_a thing_n yet_o not_o without_o many_o infirmity_n for_o job_n sometime_o curse_v his_o day_n &_o david_n say_v unto_o god_n in_o his_o haste_n i_o be_o cast_v out_o of_o thy_o sight_n psal_n 31._o 22._o &_o therefore_o we_o be_v not_o to_o imagine_v of_o such_o a_o portion_n of_o god_n spirit_n that_o may_v swallow_v up_o all_o our_o infirmity_n for_o then_o we_o be_v no_o man_n but_o it_o must_v be_v sufficient_a that_o we_o be_v aid_v with_o the_o strength_n of_o it_o so_o that_o we_o final_o fall_v not_o down_o and_o lie_v still_o under_o the_o heavy_a burden_n of_o affliction_n but_o that_o there_o be_v a_o mix_a thing_n as_o it_o be_v in_o we_o namely_o our_o own_o infirmity_n to_o humble_v we_o &_o the_o strength_n of_o god_n spirit_n to_o enable_v we_o to_o bear_v so_o that_o have_v so_o able_a a_o helper_n to_o bear_v with_o we_o we_o may_v be_v comfort_v with_o hope_n of_o endure_v the_o great_a thing_n that_o may_v befall_v we_o in_o this_o world_n though_o continue_v upon_o we_o never_o so_o long_o and_o that_o we_o may_v do_v it_o the_o rather_o the_o apostle_n further_o add_v that_o the_o same_o spirit_n shall_v likewise_o stir_v we_o up_o in_o all_o necessity_n of_o we_o to_o pray_v unto_o god_n and_o to_o make_v our_o moan_n unto_o he_o as_o to_o our_o father_n and_o shall_v be_v hear_v of_o he_o for_o though_o we_o sometime_o through_o the_o greatness_n of_o our_o misery_n know_v not_o what_o or_o how_o to_o pray_v as_o we_o ought_v yet_o his_o spirit_n shall_v stir_v up_o even_o then_o though_o not_o many_o well_o order_v speech_n or_o word_n yet_o those_o sigh_n and_o groan_n which_o be_v unspeakable_a and_o only_o feel_v be_v notwithstanding_o well_o understand_v and_o accept_v of_o god_n because_o they_o proceed_v from_o his_o spirit_n who_o meaning_n he_o know_v and_o grant_v because_o it_o make_v request_n for_o the_o saint_n according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n as_o it_o be_v ver_fw-la 26._o wherein_o we_o be_v notwithstanding_o to_o consider_v that_o though_o we_o have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n even_o the_o spirit_n that_o teach_v we_o to_o pray_v so_o that_o we_o have_v many_o time_n call_v upon_o god_n with_o great_a assurance_n and_o comfort_n for_o and_o with_o ourselves_o and_o other_o yet_o there_o may_v be_v a_o time_n and_o that_o very_a often_o wherein_o we_o may_v be_v so_o distract_v by_o some_o great_a affliction_n and_o in_o that_o case_n that_o be_v as_o it_o be_v astonish_v and_o overcome_v with_o the_o greatness_n and_o strangeness_n of_o it_o we_o can_v not_o tell_v what_o to_o pray_v and_o though_o prayer_n then_o be_v our_o only_a refuge_n yet_o we_o can_v not_o tell_v how_o to_o begin_v it_o or_o what_o to_o say_v and_o so_o unlike_a shall_v we_o be_v unto_o ourselves_o and_o that_o that_o we_o have_v be_v in_o time_n past_a as_o though_o we_o be_v not_o the_o same_o nay_o our_o estate_n may_v seem_v like_a unto_o the_o wicked_a who_o be_v at_o their_o wit_n end_n for_o if_o we_o be_v ask_v what_o we_o will_v have_v we_o can_v not_o tell_v and_o though_o we_o have_v liberty_n to_o ask_v of_o god_n we_o can_v not_o use_v it_o for_o we_o can_v not_o tell_v what_o to_o pray_v a_o wonderful_a thing_n but_o yet_o most_o true_a and_o that_o which_o be_v to_o be_v find_v not_o in_o some_o but_o in_o the_o most_o excellent_a servant_n of_o god_n even_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o as_o paul_n here_o bring_v in_o himself_o for_o a_o example_n and_o in_o this_o infirmity_n make_v himself_o like_a unto_o the_o rest_n and_o though_o we_o have_v a_o form_n of_o prayer_n prescribe_v we_o by_o our_o saviour_n christ_n yet_o we_o ask_v those_o thing_n many_o time_n which_o if_o we_o have_v they_o will_v hurt_v we_o and_o when_o we_o ask_v that_o which_o be_v profitable_a and_o good_a yet_o by_o prescribe_v to_o the_o lord_n the_o time_n manner_n and_o mean_n of_o our_o deliverance_n we_o pray_v with_o such_o impatience_n and_o distrust_n that_o it_o may_v true_o be_v say_v we_o can_v not_o tell_v what_o to_o pray_v as_o we_o ought_v this_o be_v the_o estate_n of_o good_a king_n hezekiah_n isa_n 38._o 14._o when_o he_o be_v oppress_v in_o the_o bitterness_n of_o his_o soul_n as_o he_o say_v &_o he_o chatter_v like_o a_o crane_n or_o a_o swallow_n and_o mourn_v as_o a_o dove_n such_o be_v the_o perplexity_n and_o more_o than_o infirmity_n of_o david_n when_o instead_o of_o pray_v he_o roar_v all_o the_o day_n long_o psal_n 32._o 3._o and_o when_o he_o mourn_v in_o his_o prayer_n and_o can_v but_o make_v a_o noise_n psal_n 55._o 2._o and_o when_o as_o he_o say_v for_o the_o voice_n of_o his_o groan_v his_o bone_n do_v cleave_v to_o his_o skin_n and_o that_o he_o be_v like_o a_o pelicane_n of_o the_o wilderness_n and_o like_o a_o owl_n of_o the_o desert_n and_o as_o a_o sparrow_n alone_o upon_o the_o house_n top_n psalm_n 102._o 5_o 6_o 7._o and_o when_o his_o heart_n pant_v and_o his_o strength_n fail_v he_o even_o the_o light_n of_o his_o eye_n he_o roar_v for_o the_o very_a grief_n of_o his_o heart_n and_o he_o pour_v out_o his_o whole_a desire_n before_o the_o lord_n by_o sob_v and_o sigh_v rather_o than_o by_o any_o thing_n else_o thus_o these_o most_o excellent_a servant_n of_o god_n in_o their_o great_a agony_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v able_a to_o pray_v unto_o god_n in_o any_o tolerable_a manner_n that_o in_o their_o own_o sense_n and_o feeling_n they_o do_v but_o roar_v and_o cry_v sob_n and_o sigh_v mourn_v and_o complain_v and_o that_o very_o confuse_o even_o like_o the_o crane_n the_o swallow_n &_o the_o owl_n so_o confuse_v be_v they_o in_o themselves_o and_o full_a of_o disorder_n and_o fall_v into_o so_o many_o great_a infirmity_n at_o once_o therefore_o we_o may_v not_o judge_v of_o ourselves_o or_o other_o by_o any_o one_o such_o or_o few_o particular_a case_n lest_o we_o deceive_v ourselves_o neither_o must_v we_o then_o in_o this_o great_a unfitnesse_n of_o we_o be_v like_a unto_o the_o wicked_a who_o give_v over_o all_o prayer_n because_o they_o be_v unfit_a for_o it_o but_o strive_v earnest_o against_o this_o infirmity_n of_o we_o and_o then_o pray_v unto_o god_n that_o we_o may_v pray_v which_o if_o we_o will_v do_v no_o doubt_n we_o shall_v find_v his_o promise_n to_o be_v true_a in_o this_o that_o even_o then_o his_o spirit_n shall_v teach_v we_o to_o pray_v for_o as_o our_o saviour_n christ_n comfort_v his_o disciple_n in_o another_o case_n matt._n
