LOrd we are rebellious against thy Truth and have not been obedient to thy righteousnes nor have put in practise thy Law whence our condemnation is just Yet Lord saith was imputed to Abraham for righteousnes Graunt it may be so also imputed to us and that we may obtaine mercy Seeing Christ died for us and he is the end of the Law righteousnes unto all beleevers and that whosoever beleeveth in him shall not be confounded And for that they that are according to the flesh are affectioned to the things of the flesh but they that are according to the spirit unto the things of the spirit And in as much as the affection of the flesh is death but the affection of the spirit is life and peace Let thy Spirit dwell in us and let us put on the Lord Iesus Christ and let us not be carefull for the flesh to fulfill the lusts thereof Knowing that Christ being risen againe from the dead dieth no more death hath no more dominion over him For in that he died he died once for sinne but in that he liveth he liveth unto thee Also we summe up thus our account that we are dead unto sin but live unto thee in Iesus Christ our Lord and that we shall appeare all before his judgment-Seat and that every one of us shall render an account for himself Let then thy feare be before our eyes having in horror all evill cleaving unto that which is good that we lay no stumbling block or occasion of falling before our brother but may walk in charity loving our neighbor as our selves being fervent in spirit serving thee joyfull in hope patient in tribulations persevering in prayer That we may offer up our bodies as living sacrifices holy and pleasing unto thee which is our reasonable service and let us not fashion our selves unto this present world But let us be transformed by the renewing of our understanding that we may search out what thy good pleasant and perfect wil is And be it that we live we may live unto thee be it wv die we may die unto thee that whether we live or whether we die we may be thine For therefore died Christ and rose againe and returned unto life that he might have dominion both over the dead and over the living We commend unto thee all thy Churches let the weak in faith be strengthened grant there may be the obedience of faith thorow out all nations Let every knee bow before thee and let every tongue give thee praise Let all nations praise thee Lord and let all people celebrate thee Relieve the poore and afflicted and make them partakers of spirituall good things Furnish them with the things of this life assist them in every thing they stand in need of thorow Iesus Christ Grace be with us and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Iesus Christ A Thankesgiving and a Prayer on the same subject 24. O Our God and Father which raisedst from the dead Iesus Christ who gave himselfe for our sinnes to the end that according to thy will he might withdraw us out of this evill world To thee be glory for ever and ever Amen 'T is thou Lord that hast called us by thy grace and hast revealed unto us thy Sonne who hath redeemed us from the curse of the Law when he was made a curse for us that we might receive the promise of the Spirit by faith knowing that man is not justified by the works of the Law but onely by faith in Iesus Christ in whom we have believed that we might be justified by faith Give us to obey thy Truth furnish us with thy Spirit which may produce thy vertues in us And because we are thy children send the Spirit of thy Sonne into our hearts crying Abba Father so that being thy children we may be thine heires thorow Christ and that we may walk according to the spirit not fulfil the lusts of the flesh because what a man soweth that shall he reape also For he that soweth to the flesh shall reape of the flesh corruption But he that soweth to the Spirit he shall reape of the Spirit life eternall That we may live by the Spirit and may walk also in the Spirit the fruit whereof is love joy peace patience gentlenes goodnes faithfulnes meeknes temperance And as they which are Christs have crucified the flesh with the Iusts thereof that we may be crucified with Christ and may live not now we but that Christ may live in us and that what we now live in the flesh we may live in the faith of thy Son who hath loved us and gave himselfe for us that it might not happen unto us to glory in any thing save in the Crosse of our Lord Iesus Christ by whom the world may be crucified unto us and we unto the world And that in him we may be new creatures not growing carelesse of well doing seeing we shall reape in due season if we grow not slacke Wherefore whilst we have time let us do good unto al men but especially unto the houshold of faith And all they that shall walk according to this rule peace be upon them and mercy and upon thy Israel O God Work with efficacie by those unto whom the preaching of the Gospell is committed That they which know thee not and who serve those that
that Iesus Christ taketh upon him all my evill and bestoweth on me all his benefits that he quickneth me by his Holy Spirit that I am united unto all the faithfull that nothing shall separate me from thy love that none shall pluck me neither out of the hands of my Saviour nor out of the bosome of his Church I feare neither my sins for behold here the bloud of my Saviour which blotteth them out nor thy wrath for loe here the seale of my reconciliation with thee nor the Devill for behold here Christ who hath overcome Nor death for this day I receive the Sacrament of life everlasting this day is promise made unto me and the scale of it is given me that the heavens are opened unto me that my habitation shal be in the house of God for ever Lord increase my faith Lord raise up my heart unto thee graunt that unto thy glory graunt that unto salvation I may comprehend the excellency and the benefit of these things and that thence I may take up a firm resolution to renounce the world to walk therein as a pilgrim as keeping on my way towards my Saviour to draw unto him my neighbours to edifie them by mine example to adhere to thy Truth to continue their profession thereof against the rage and against the subtilties of all the enemies of thy Truth to my singular comfort even unto the last gasp of my life Amen A Thanksgiving to be rendred unto God after we have been partakers of the holy Communion 10. LOrd my God how is my soule ravisht in contemplation of the good things which thou commest to give me thy poore servant Alas Lord I am farr lesse then the least of thy mercies and then all the truth thou usest towards me it is thou that assurest me that thy Sonne that thine onely Sonne died for me It is thou that hast given me the seales of thine inviolable Covenant But what say I the seales O God thou knowest what ardor I feele at this present within me an assured testimonie that Iesus Christ is come to dwell in my heart by the precious faith thou hast given me Yea Lord I feele that he dwelleth in me I feele he engraveth in my heart the efficacie of his death and passion he died once upon the Crosse for my sinnes But he liveth for ever in my heart for my salvation I know it I beleeve it with as much certainty as with truth I have been partaker of the outward signes of thy grace O let my soule enjoy so great repose against her enemies O let it have an unspeakeable contentment in thy mercy As Iesus Christ died for me let Iesus Christ live in me O God it is so for thou wilt have it so for I am sensible of it and my faith is greatly strengthened Surely Lord thou wilt be my God for ever for thou art with me thou givest me the bread of life thou cloathest me with the innocency and righteousnes of thy Son O good God finish in me thine own work thou hast rescued me out of the dangers of eternall death thou hast assured me of most happy rest graunt me Lord yet this period unto my prayer that I may not repay thee with ingratitude that I may not die in sin but may live to righteousnes that I may deny my selfe may edifie my neighbours may consecrate my self to thy glory that in the sobriety righteousnes and religion of my life I may affect nothing so heartily have nothing so often before mine eyes as my leaving of this world And whilst thou preservest me therein O God as long as thou keepest me in the same I may expect with all thine Elect the most blessed hope and appearance of the glory of the great God which is our Saviour Iesus Christ to whom with thee and the Holy Ghost be honour and glory from this time and for evermore Amen A Confession 11. O Lord God Eternall and Almighty Father we confesse and acknowledge unfainedly before thy sacred Majestie we are poore miserable sinners conceived and born in iniquity and corruption inclined unto evill doing unprofitable unto every good work and that by our sins we transgresse continually and without ceasing all thy holy Commandements In doing wherof we purchase to our selves by thy just judgment destruction and utter ruine Yet Lord we are displeased with our selves for having displeased offended thee we condēn ourselves our sins with true repentance humbly praying thy grace may relieve our misery and calamity Have mercy then upon us O God and most gracious Father and full of mercy for Iesus Christs sake thy Sonne our Lord. And blotting out our sins and blemishes inlarge in us and increase daily the graces of thy Holy Spirit that we acknowledging heartily all our unrighteousnes may bee toucht with true displeasure which may beget in us sound repentance which mortifying us unto all sinne may bring forth the fruits of righteousnesse and innocency which may be acceptable and wel pleasing unto thee thorough the same Iesus Christ thy welbeloved Sonne our Saviour Amen A Morning Prayer 12. O Lord God Eternall Father seeing it hath pleased thee to bring us safely unto this present day be pleased also to give us grace we may passe the same without offending thee and what ere we shall do say or think may be to the glory and praise of thy Name and edification of our neighbours And look not Lord upon our infirmities upon our sinnes and on our unthankfulnesse But looke upon thine accustomed goodnes and according to the same turn not away thy face from us but ever hold us up by thy hand that we fall not from thee at all and let not those threatnings which thou hast pronounced against them that have knowne thee and have not glorified thee as they ought fall upon us But Lord hold us ever in thy feare and forsake us not teach us to do thy will and give us the will and the power to do it for without thee we can do nothing Above all Lord make us alwayes with our whole hearts imbrace the memory and the merit of the death of thy Sonne And especially when the houre of our owne death shall come graunt that in the same we may have such faith recourse and assurance that we may be in the ranke of those which die in the Lord. And even then also graunt us that we may leave this world without all discontent thereat and that all our desire may be to be with thee Also Lord thou hast taught us to pray that thy Kingdome may come be pleased to advance forward the same and in so doing touch our Kings heart and the hearts of his Councill and illuminate them with thy brightnesse that thou maist be King and rule every where And that thine enemies may be made thy footstoole looke downe Lord in mercy upon all the poore afflicted ones persecuted and oppressed especially for thy Word Deliver them O good God as
1 Thes 3.10 This is it also why the Psalmist considering we are necessitated unto action saith speaking of him that feareth God and walketh in his wayes Psa 127.128.2 Blessed art thou that fearest God and walkest in his way For of thy labor thou shalt eat happy art thou I say But the end of these promises is to the end wee should not be dismayd when by the providence of God we shall be destitute of all possessions and even deprived of drawing any fruit from the labour we can undergo labour truly vaine unlesse he extend his blessing to the same without which in vaine wake we late and rise up early Psalm 146. and that we might know that from mans industrie his wealth proceeds not but from God onely who advanceth and casteth downe when he pleaseth From him I say that knowes no want to give provision whereof to live unto them that need And that thus we might be led on forward to walk in his obedience and feare as of him on whom we wholy depend yea even the mightiest and highest that are amoÌ„g the creatures But let us returne let us yet further discover our owne filthines Luke 21.18 Appeares it not that albeit that God assures us that no man shal be able so much as to pluck a hayre from our head without his will which is the same St. Paul sayes Rom. 8.3 If God be for us who shall be against us and although he say he will keep his people as the apple of his eye seeming to expresse himselfe after our imperfect manner to make us the better to comprehend his love yet for all this how great are our diffidences and distrusts That if it happen that we be threatned with banishment or otherwise to make any attempt upon our persons by reason of the confession of the Name of God and of his Truth we be altogether appaled with feare and terrible apprehensions even to the renouncing of him and to be disposed to speake such language And to be short to do that which they would do that in appearance shal have strength in their hands Yea the greater part of them which follow the great and broad way Ma. 7.13 of destruction and who as they say houle when others yell wil follow the fashion be it never so vile do not they act it before they see it out of a foresight of the feare they have thereof Howsoever for a matter of this nature following our SAVIOVR CHRISTS teaching we ought not to feare them that can kill the body Mat. 10.28 and are not able to touch the soule but rather and only to feare him who is able to destroy the soule and to send the body to hell Matth. 10.19 Having elswhere said unto us that whosoever will save his life shall lose it But he that for Gods sake shall lose it shall save it And what shall we say Is not this all one as if one should affirme the promises of God were every one vaine Could we make lesse reckoning of them then of some poore begger destitute of all meanes who had promised to lend us at our need a great sum of money even thus fares it with the confidence we repose in man a thing execrable If we be not now sufficiently convinced to lead us to passe the sentence of condemnation upon our selves let us put the case hâ—re some miserable fellow had offended one that was greater then himselfe who had the will to be revenged on him if he that hath offended findeth grace and credit with the Prince in common both to him and to the offended and that the Prince promise him with all true affection to stay his evill willer that he do him no hurt declaring in processe of time unto all his subjects that he loves that person will keep and cherish him as himselfe will we not then say such an one is well assured of a good Protector shall we not think him exempt from all occasion of feare For shall we not acknowledg that Prince of power easily to protect him And that great God who is the Prince of Princes who hath power above all the powers much more soveraignly without all comparison then hath the greatest Monarch of the earth over the most forlorn and most desolate of all his Dominion Rom. 13.1 there being none of them in the world but by divine dispensation by Gods appointment unto whom nothing is impossible true of his word unchangeable cannot he keep us What So great and so many numberlesse benefits which we have received and daily do receive from him fulfilling his promises should it not be sufficient to carry us to put our whole trust and confidence in him and not to doubt in any wise of the certaine effect of his Word O perverse diffidence and disobedience more then ingratefull to have preferred the prop and protection of men before that of God to have had more feare of their displeasure then of him 2 Pet. 21. Yea so much as to have turned their backs unto him for their respect to follow Baal as Balaam who for the wages of unrighteousnesse turned from the right way Many will not confesse the debt but will say although their conscience speak to the contrary without feare of the curse pronounced by the Lord Esay 5.20 against them that will make evill to be believed to be good and good to be evill that they walk according to God and in all integritie without dissimulation who to palliate by so much the more their hypocrisie will take heed to observe even unto the grossest superstitions and notorious abhominable idolatries they wil be very glad to make knowne unto every one they omit nothing of what is required to be done by him that is such as they counterfeit themselves to be namely to the end men might not doubt of them and to make them believe they have sincerity in their course they which have children make them suck in this poison and will nourish them and bring them up with this venome for which they shall answer one day before God they will freely and openly make warre against the truth See how from these impieties and wickednesses they fall into other which at last do plunge them into a reprobate sense Wisdom 11.15 Man being punished by the same things where in he sinneth Thus is it as it happeneth and falleth out with them that think to mock God 4. Esdr 16. That knoweth the inventions of men what they thinke in their hearts when in sinning they would hide their sinnes 2 Peter 21. O how farre better would be the condition of such people that they had never knowne the way of righteousnesse and of the truth seeing after they have so knowne the same they turne backe from the holy commandement Esay 1.14 A sinfull people loaden with iniquitie malignant seed corrupt children thus to forsake the Lord to provoke in that manner the Holy One of Israel Alas What wil be the retribution for such lewdnes They that
not God because to denie God and to denie his justice is all one Indeed appeares it not that the most of them who at the beginning but fainingly shall adhere to Idolaters at length become wholly Idolaters or fall into that blindnes that there 's no longer any religion at all in them having altogether forgotten God and live as though there were no God of whom many that would have men esteem better of them do as the Cameleon and according to the object they encounter they resemble one while one thing another while another And unto such the Prophet Elias cryeth out saying How long will yee halt between two opinions on both sides If God be God why do you not follow him If Baal Baal But if they have yet any sparke of knowledge that there is a God a God terrible to be feared in his judgments given in his anger shall they not be astonisht to heare the Lord say to them in his displeasure Apoc. 3.16 That because they are neither hot nor cold but luke-warme that he will vomit them out of his mouth And hearing that by his Prophet Ieremie Ieremie 48.20 Hee curseth him that doth the work of the Lord negligently for what is there more fearefull saving the execution O you the best of these that say you consent not in mind to that you do Lamentably wise fooles whose wisdome consists in folly know you not that he who is the Creator of the soule is also of the body Can we serve God with the one and Mammon with the other Dan. â— If you can carry your selves in that manner why then did not Daniel to avoid casting into the Lions den following the decree of King Darius dissemble and faine to obey that was enjoyn'd him Why did not Sidrach Miâ—aâ—â— and Abednego outwardly at least yeeâ—d and submit to what Nebuchâ—dnezzar required of them rather then to cause him to cast them into the fire Why have not so many Martyrs spoken your language and made some faire shew to be delivered from that infinitenes of horrible torments and even from death it self But who by reason of many of whom sometimes there was no more required but a yea or a nay without any further profession of Religion sollicited by them that thought to doe them a friendly office for their escape chose rather death and forsooke their life No no we must aâ— Saint Paul saith not only believe with the heart to justification Rom. 10.10 But also confesse with the mouth unto salvation for God require to the inward parâ—s with the outward and will have our light so shine before men that they seeing our good works may therupon glorifie him It is the instruction of our Saviour Iesus Christ Cease then and leave off this evill custome seeing God by his Holy Spirit saith yet repent you Math. 5.16 Who addeth for otherwise I wil come against you speedily Apo. 1.16 and will fight against you with the sword of my mouth And let us say all henceforth with David Psalm 34. Henceforth shall our tongues sing aloud the righteousnesse of the Lord and the lowly minded shall heare that we boast our selves of the Lord and shall bee glad thereof Even as Saint Paul exhorteth us 1. Corinth 6.20 Let us glorifie God not onely in our spirits but also in our bodies which are Gods And in emulation one of another let us give testimonie to every one of the adoption which we have in Iesus Christ that all may know and take notice that thorow him we are heires of the kingdome of heaven let us boast of this glory a glory to be paralel'd by no other being a speciall benefit which is unvaluable That our pietie may shine forth singularly to the instruction of our families Let us not be so luke-warme in following of Christ And let us not a little cherish the riches of his opprobries as to take our chiefest care to make them capable of sharing in the vanities of the world For if we have no other care of their salvation we are the executioners of their soules worse then the bruit beasts that are carefull for the good of their young no lesse lewd then they that sacrificed their children to Baal yea if say I we consent that they be brought up with the milk and poison of the spirituall strumpet as much as in us lyeth to make them one day partakers of all the curses of the Lord as if we had vowed to be instruments to deliver them over our selves unto Satan This we shall witnesse to be thus if against our science and conscience we bring them not up in the wayes of the Lord. Let us then herein place all our studie dealing in such sort that they whom God shall have committed to our guidance may be as it were trumpets by their good and holy conversation to publish unto every one the truth of our profession as the thing wherewith wee account our selves most honoured I pray you where is he who being descended of some illustrious and noble familie is not jealous unto the end to be held and known by every one to be issued of that race What Lord of some goodly possession doth not divulge his titles beareth not willingly his coats of Armes Yea doth he not set them up in sight on the highest places to be so much the more conspicuous and better discerned A thing neverthelesse buâ— of small continuance and which in very deed when all comes to all is but meere vanity and whereof there can no comparison be made to this so loftie a title and so full of glory the highest pitch of all honour this title say I of Child and Servant of God Coheire with Christ A quality O the noblest and most magnificent which maketh happy Monarchs not for a season but eternally in comparison of which surely all other even the greatest and the most precious that are under the coap of heaven and compasse of the earth are lesse then nothing yea most wretched if these be not adjoyned unto them And then if a Noble Personâ—ge so much affect his ancient scutchions of armes for so small fruit if he would not endure that ought should be detracted or any thing added lest his linage might either be questioned or unknowne How much more carefull ought we to be to take good heed we do not any act which may not suit with those that are truly the children and servants of God And in contempt of the world to enforce our selves to walk in that integrity and uprightnesse we ought to be by so much the more remarkably such Seeing otherwise especially we exclude and shut out our selves from his grace Rom. 1.16 Let us not then be ashamed of the truth of the Gospell of Christ which is the power of God unto salvation unto all that believe For alas if it be so that we are so brutish and beastly that to possesse the world to please it or for feare of it we dissemble the knowledg we
have of him the Son of God himself tels us That as we have denied him before men hee will denie us also before his Father and will bee ashamed of us and that worthily Luk. 9.26 Let us hold then the confession of our hope without varying for any thing whatsoever According as Saint Paul teacheth us Heb. 10. And with him we say Neither that which is present nor that which is to come nor height nor depth poverty nor nakednes persecution affliction nor death nor life shall separate us from the love of Christ Rom. 8.34 Prepare alwaies in every place and before all men to give a reason and an account to every one of the hope that is in us Peter 1.3 Yea as true faithfull ones let us take especially our neighbours by the hands saying to them let us go up let us ascend up to the mountaine unto the house of the God of Iacob and he will teach us his wayes Esa 4. And let us stir up one another unto charity and to good works Mic. 2. Not forsaking the assembly of the faithfull For as Saint Paul saith if we sin willingly after we have received the knowledge of the truth Heb. 10. There remaines no sacrifice for that sin but a fearfull expectation of judgment and the vengeance of fire which shall devoure the adversaries Setting before us that if any one had despised the Law of Moyses he was put to death without any mercy and thence concludes how much more grievous torments shall he deserve that shall esteem the bloud of the Sonne of God as a thing of no holines thorow the which he had been sanctified and had done injury to the Spirit of Grace Yea but what say you to this that by making open profession of this knowne truth men shall deprive themselves of the favour and good will of the great ones It is a course that will bring an untimely issue to our best designes and we shall run a hazard to fall from our honours yea we shall be in danger to be brought to the lowest ebb of the greatest misery the ordinary condition of those that will be followers of Iesus Christ and some will say more they who earne me the bread which my family eats will not henceforth serve me and what shall then my condition be how shall I live It is here high time to sound the alarum the combat is at hand but before we give the on-set let us take better notice of our enemies to wit the world and the flesh Shall we demaund of him that maketh warre upon us the things that are fit to destroy him No no this were all one as if we should cast flax into fire to quench it To shelter our selves then from the first encounter of the assault let us set our selves in battell-array with Daniel Sidrach and Abednego let us march forward in their steps and use the same weapons with the Martyrs Ephes 6.11 Let us have our loynes girt about with truth and have on the brest-plate of righteousnes and let us have our feet shod with the preparation of the Gospell of Peace and above all let us take the shield of Faith and the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God Let us deny our selves to follow Christ as every true Christian ought so shall we passe thorow the greatest conflict which shall present it selfe if he encounter himself and we shall remaine conquerors as they have done that have known and withall have followed the will of the Lord and not the sensualitie of the flesh and the world A gift of God which he giveth to them that aske it in faith without wavering Iames 1.6 They know that the Almighty curseth the man that maketh flesh his arme and that trusts in man Ieremy 7.2 That surely men of high degree are vanitie Psal 62.9 and a lye and that he that shall put into the ballance the grandes of the earth against nothing shall find them yet lighter then nothing Wherfore they have not expected salvation from any other but from the highest relying wholly and trusting in him only And see we not also indeed that there is no Monarch so great but God when he pleaseth out of hand brings him to nothing Want we proofs for the uncertainty of the performance of mans promises Now when it was in his owne power to perform which he never hath but as it is given him from above shall there be any found that saith he hath not found as much by expâ—rience The thing is too too frequent So also do we not see that not only it is in vaine but withall draweth down the wrath of God upon himself that depends on man how great or mighty soever he be in appearance Let us then forgo for ever such a thing Psalme 60.11 Give us helpe from trouble for vaine is the helpe of man And following Davids counsell let us ever put our trust in God alone he is good and gracious to will what shall bee expedient for vs mightie in his power true and immutable in his promises to accomplish them And let every one of us say with him Psal 28.7 He is my shield and fortitude my buckler in distresse My hope my help my hearts reliefe my song shall him confesse To dive yet deeper into this matter Thou that fearest thine honours and art afraid that thy earthly goods will leave thee after the which thou so breathest and barkest thou verifiest that which cannot but be most true That it is impossible that a man should serve God and riches Luke 16.14 He which is truth it self spake it But it shall not be amisse to set a glasse before thee that thou maist see how thou art disfigured and that thou mayst know thine own deformity if thou hast sight enough to discern it O foole that seekest after and prisest at so high a rate the glory and treasures of the earth as if therin consisted thy happines horrible Idolatrie If thy soule be required of thee this night what shall become of the totall And put the case thou livest the longest age of man that length is but a moment What profit have they gain'd by it whom thou hast seen go before thee who are now in the grave Psalme 90. thinkest thou they are much more happy therby Alas the danger is great 't is contrary Luke 18.24 For it is a very hard thing for the rich to enter into the Kingdome of heaven What hope therof wilt thou draw from out of that which St. Iames saith ch 5.2 Weepe you rich men howle for your miseries which shall come upon you your riches are corrupted your garments moath-eaten your gold and silver is cancred and the rust of them shall be a witnesse against you and shall eat your flesh as it were fire Tim. 6 9 Then what shall make thee desire abundance For they that will be rich fall into temptation into the snares of the Devill and into many
