A10931	Certaine sermons preached and penned by Richard Rogers preacher of Weathersfield in Essex, directly tending to these three ends. First, to bring any bad person (that hath not committed the sinne that is vnpardonable) to true conuersion. Secondly, to stablish and settle all such as are conuerted, in faith and repentance. Thirdly, to leade them forward (that are so setled) in the Christian life, to bring foorth the fruite of both. Whereunto are annexed diuers godlie and learned sermons of another reuerend and faithfull seruant of God, Mr. Samuel Wright, Bachelor of Diuinitie, late president of Sidney Colledge in Camebridge, deceased, tending also to the same ends, with diuers particular points in both, profitable and fit for these times.	Rogers, Richard, 1550?-1618.; Wright, Samuel, d. ca. 1612. aut	1612 (1612)	STC 21203; ESTC S116121	188,868	230

be_v blindfolded_a with_o error_n and_o delusion_n from_o their_o unclean_a conversation_n to_o that_o which_o be_v holy_a and_o from_o bondage_n to_o satan_n to_o believe_v in_o the_o live_a god_n

when_o we_o see_v that_o papist_n can_v draw_v people_n to_o their_o religion_n by_o persuasion_n answ_n to_o the_o which_o i_o answer_v they_o can_v persuade_v to_o their_o religion_n indeed_o so_o

be_v able_a to_o persuade_v as_o to_o consider_v what_o it_o be_v whereto_o they_o persuade_v for_o who_o doubt_v but_o that_o man_n may_v easy_o be_v persuade_v to_o that_o which_o be_v agreeable_a to_o their_o nature_n and_o suit_v with_o their_o desire_n as_o these_o who_o i_o have_v mention_v and_o such_o like_a 2.9.10.11.12_o for_o they_o be_v all_o do_v by_o the_o work_n of_o satan_n in_o

so_o indeed_o this_o be_v so_o we_o may_v gather_v necessary_o hereby_o that_o the_o sound_n plain_a and_o powerful_a preach_v of_o the_o gospel_n god_n whereby_o only_o through_o the_o work_n of_o

rather_o than_o other_o mean_n to_o so_o excellent_a a_o end_n but_o here_o i_o must_v add_v this_o because_o many_o even_o of_o the_o private_a sort_n of_o man_n who_o have_v be_v happy_o train_v up_o under_o a_o good_a ministry_n can_v discern_v and_o do_v complain_v that_o this_o holy_a ordinance_n of_o god_n i_o mean_v the_o publish_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v take_v in_o hand_n of_o

know_v that_o all_o such_o prospering_n and_o jollity_n in_o person_n who_o god_n have_v brand_v with_o the_o mark_n of_o infamy_n and_o misery_n shall_v be_v take_v for_o more_o apparent_a token_n of_o cursednesse_n if_o they_o can_v be_v lusty_a and_o ioe_n and_o when_o god_n call_v to_o mourning_n and_o heaviness_n answ_n for_o so_o the_o lord_n speak_v to_o such_o cleanse_v your_o hand_n 4.8_o you_o sinner_n and_o purge_v your_o heart_n you_o waver_v mind_v suffer_v affliction_n and_o sorrow_n you_o and_o weep_v you_o let_v your_o laugh_a be_v turn_v into_o mourning_n and_o your_o

if_o he_o be_v accurse_v but_o will_v cause_v it_o to_o break_v forth_o by_o sickness_n disease_n penury_n and_o other_o calamity_n answ_n to_o that_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v the_o long_a

they_o and_o this_o he_o do_v both_o that_o they_o may_v thereby_o be_v bring_v to_o repentance_n 2.4_o and_o also_o for_o that_o if_o he_o shall_v so_o pursue_v sinner_n as_o they_o do_v give_v he_o

may_v just_o complain_v as_o the_o prophet_n do_v in_o his_o time_n 53.1_o and_o say_v lord_n who_o have_v believe_v our_o report_n for_o to_o speak_v as_o the_o truth_n be_v who_o believe_v this_o or_o care_v for_o it_o 5.6_o that_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n hang_v over_o the_o chidren_n of_o disobedience_n in_o especial_o who_o apply_v it_o to_o himself_o oh_o the_o senseless_a blockishness_n of_o man_n who_o pass_v over_o these_o matter_n so_o slight_o which_o be_v most_o weighty_a if_o he_o be_v tell_v but_o once_o of_o a_o shrewd_a turn_n that_o be_v come_v towards_o he_o in_o his_o

it_o or_o if_o he_o do_v he_o dare_v expostulate_v and_o dispute_v with_o god_n that_o he_o be_v too_o severe_a against_o man_n for_o so_o small_a a_o matter_n who_o boldness_n be_v to_o be_v beat_v

to_o search_v better_o into_o themselves_o and_o try_v what_o depth_n of_o evil_n be_v in_o they_o 3.40_o and_o so_o turn_v again_o unto_o the_o lord_n to_o this_o end_n let_v they_o weigh_v due_o
