A86361	A New-Years-gift for women. Being a true looking-glass which they seldome have in their own closets, where (for the most part) are none but flattering ones: but hereby, and herein, they may truly, plainly, and directly, see their duties, both towards God, and their own husbands. With an epistle dedicatory, directed to the feminine gender (never done before) nor the like extant in no printed book. However, many have dedicated to one or two vertuous ladies, upon some good reasons moving the author thereunto. But never any (as this is) to the whole sex of women, of what rank or quality soever they be.	Hill, William, 1619-1667.	1660 (1660)	Wing H2035; Thomason E2114_1; ESTC R212662	17,927	71

and drinking and they said of him Behold a Wine bibber a friend of Publicans and Sinners And this John came neither eating nor drinking and they said Behold he hath a Devil Now to proceed in the story Anna. At the Dedication of our Saviour there was in the Temple a Prophetess one Anna who was of a great age and had lived seven years with an Husband from her Virginity and she was a Widow of about Eighty four years and went not out of the Temple but served God with Fastings and Prayers night and day who confessed likewise the Lord and spake of him to all that looked for redemption in Jerusalem And presently follows That as he came to a City called Naim Behold there was a dead man carried out the onely son of his Mother and Jesus had compassion on her and said unto her Weep not and he onely touched the Beer and said unto the yong man Arise and he rose up and began to speak and he delivered him to his Mother Also our Saviour so tendered the poor Widow That he over ruled the wicked heart of the unrighteous judge who neither feared God nor reverenced Man to do her right to avoid her importunity Christ beheld the rich men which cast their gifts into the Treasury and withall took notice of a poor Widdow who cast in there two Mites and he said thus of her Of a truth this poor Widdow hath cast in more then they all for they out of their superfluity cast into the offerings of God but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had As our Saviour was going to be crucified there followed him a great multitude of Women who bewailed and lamented him and he took notice of them and said unto them Daughter of Jerusalem weep not for me but weep for your selves and your Children for the days will come when men shall say Blessed are the Barren and the Wombs that never bare and the Paps that never gave suck Now I come to the good Woman of Canaan Good Woman of Cannan who had a very great measure of Faith for her Daughter being miserably vexed with a Devil she came unto Jesus and cried saying unto him Have mercy on me O Lord thou Son of David but he answered her not a word Then came his Disciples to him and besought him saying send her away for she crieth after us whereby it is apparent that her faith wrought this importunity to which our Saviour answered that he was not sent but unto the lost Sheep of the House of Israel yet she came and worshipped him saying Lord help me and he answered and said It is not good to take the Childrens bread and cast it to dogs to which she being fu●l of Faith replied thus Truth Lord yet indeed the dogs eate of the crums which fall from their Masters table Then Jesus answered and said unto her O Woman great is thy Faith be it unto thee as thou beleevest and her daughter was made whole at that hour But for examples of good Women Mary Magdalen I will conclude with Mary Magdalen out of whom Christ had cast seven Devils for in her youth she was a most lewd and vitious woman but afterwards proved an exemplary Convert who a little before our Saviours Passion having a Box of very costly oyntment powred it on his head as he sate at the Table at which his Disciples took exceptions Why being so costly it was not sold and given to the poor To which our Saviour made this answer saying Why trouble ye the Woman for she hath wrought a good work upon me for ye have the poor always with you but me shall ye not have always Verily I say unto you Wheresoever this Gospel shall be preached throughout all the World there shall also this that she hath done be spoken of for a remembrance of her How then durst I leave it out Also ye know how she washed his feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head Lastly and chiefly consider her zeal and devotion how upon the first day of the week early while it was yet dark for she came to seek when there was no light to finde yet she came unto the Sepulchre and seeing the stone taken away from the Tom be what haste she made for she ran to call Peter and John and albeit both these Disciples after a search by them made and not finding returned to their own home yet she stood without at the Sepulchre weeping whereupon a great Divine noted and collected four observations worthy of Memory Thus 1. Mary that is her Appellation or Nomination 2. Stood that is her station 3. Without at the Sepulchre that is her desolation 4. Weeping that is her lamentation And shee sees Gods love unto her being thus alone for two Angels appeared to her in white the one sitting at the head the other at the feet where the body of Jesus was laid to whom she spake thus saying They have taken away the body of my Lord and I know not where they have laid him And immediately Jesus himself appeared to her but she thought he had been the Gardner and so communed with her But then Jesus spake unto her saying Mary Then she knew his voice and turned her self and said unto him Rabboni which is to say Master Jesus saith unto her Touch me not for I am not yet ascended to my Father but go to my Brethren and acquaint them So she went and told the Disciples that she had seen the Lord and that he had spoken these things unto her The last Cordial I have to give unto vertuous Women is a good one and very comfortable and that is to shew you That the Lord hath made choice of your weak Sex to be instrumental in these particular eminent and remarkable things following 1. As when he was pleased to see forth the excellent grace of Love he compares it far surpassing the love not of Men but of Women who are most apt and prone to abound therein 2. Likewise when he would express matter of Sorrow and Lamentation he also compares that to Women thus As a Woman mourning for the Husband of her youth as if there were no greater mourning 3. But lastly and chiefly to your Immortal Glory and Everlasting Honor Take notice that Women were made the Witnesses and the first and onely Witnesses of our Saviours Resurrection and therein preferred before Peter and John who was that beloved Disciple Thus much touching good and andvertuous Women for their Direction Encouragement Imitation and Consolation Now concerning the Marthaes of the world or the worldly Marthaes I could wish them with Mary to chuse the better part and not cumber themselves about many things and neglect that unum necessariums That one thing which is necessary And that they would be wise to think of their latter end and to provide for eternity knowing that they dwell here in Houses made of
