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 object_n neither_o let_v any_o object_n and_o say_v that_o it_o be_v a_o small_a matter_n to_o be_v draw_v by_o persuasion_n to_o believe_v the_o gospel_n and_o worship_n god_n according_a to_o it_o 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 grace_n we_o may_v be_v persuade_v to_o turn_v to_o god_n aright_o be_v a_o most_o bless_a gift_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o that_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_v that_o he_o have_v appoint_v that_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 sundry_a minister_n who_o be_v utter_o unfit_a for_o it_o and_o the_o duty_n thereof_o be_v discharge_v in_o much_o unreverence_n and_o nothing_o beseem_v the_o worthiness_n of_o it_o if_o this_o be_v not_o better_o look_v unto_o by_o such_o as_o have_v authority_n in_o this_o behalf_n i_o see_v not_o how_o it_o can_v be_v have_v in_o such_o honour_n as_o be_v due_a unto_o it_o neither_o yield_v the_o fruit_n that_o otherwise_o it_o promise_v for_o

duty_n i_o say_v be_v not_o to_o be_v neglect_v even_o as_o the_o jailer_n here_o do_v as_o he_o can_v perform_v all_o these_o and_o where_o that_o help_n be_v minister_v mutual_o among_o christian_n as_o well_o in_o the_o best_a thing_n as_o in_o the_o mean_a much_o outward_a and_o inward_a peace_n be_v there_o enjoy_v good_a example_n show_v as_o a_o fruit_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o good_a hope_n that_o many_o shall_v be_v gain_v and_o bring_v thereby_o unto_o it_o note_n and_o here_o i_o do_v special_o desire_v all_o people_n of_o god_n to_o hear_v i_o in_o two_o thing_n most_o needful_a to_o this_o purpose_n the_o one_o that_o such_o as_o be_v of_o more_o hard_a froward_a austere_a and_o impatient_a disposition_n and_o yet_o religious_a will_v take_v a_o little_a pain_n to_o bridle_v and_o subdue_v the_o same_o and_o with_o gravity_n and_o integrity_n to_o be_v more_o amiable_a that_o so_o they_o may_v discourage_v none_o of_o the_o weak_a sort_n the_o second_o that_o such_o as_o receive_v help_n of_o their_o brethren_n will_v not_o burden_v they_o and_o weary_a and_o discourage_v they_o from_o such_o duty_n do_v by_o their_o undiscreet_a importunity_n look_v for_o that_o which_o be_v beyond_o their_o compass_n for_o they_o to_o ask_v or_o the_o other_o to_o grant_v and_o yet_o to_o judge_v and_o censure_v they_o for_o not_o yield_v unto_o they_o fruit_n now_o the_o last_o fruit_n of_o the_o jailers_n faith_n and_o that_o be_v touch_v his_o household_n follow_v that_o he_o rejoice_v that_o they_o also_o believe_v in_o the_o lord_n therein_o he_o declare_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o right_a kind_n and_o love_a master_n even_o as_o he_o be_v a_o sound_n and_o good_a christian_a and_o also_o that_o he_o be_v become_v a_o faithful_a friend_n unto_o christ_n his_o master_n 159.10_o who_o so_o count_v of_o all_o they_o that_o rejoice_v at_o the_o conversion_n of_o a_o sinner_n even_o so_o such_o master_n may_v have_v good_a hope_n of_o their_o true_a profit_v and_o rejoice_v that_o desire_v to_o have_v their_o household_n to_o be_v a_o little_a church_n and_o believer_n in_o christ_n and_o all_o other_o may_v know_v that_o christ_n account_v high_o of_o these_o who_o rejoice_v for_o they_o that_o of_o great_a sinner_n be_v convert_v to_o god_n and_o thus_o to_o make_v a_o end_n of_o the_o whole_a story_n as_o we_o will_v judge_v of_o the_o stature_n and_o proportion_n of_o a_o giant_n by_o his_o hand_n or_o leg_n so_o we_o may_v judge_v of_o the_o jailers_n whole_a course_n of_o life_n by_o these_o part_n of_o it_o that_o he_o be_v make_v a_o rare_a pattern_n in_o faith_n and_o godliness_n of_o a_o most_o barbarous_a and_o profane_a person_n now_o wherefore_o say_v i_o this_o but_o to_o the_o end_n that_o many_o who_o as_o yet_o be_v estrange_v from_o god_n and_o enemy_n to_o he_o even_o a_o far_o off_o may_v yet_o at_o least_o bethink_v and_o resolve_v themselves_o to_o return_v again_o unto_o he_o and_o never_o to_o leave_v off_o till_o they_o be_v true_o come_v home_o and_o have_v more_o in_o they_o than_o any_o reprobate_n that_o may_v fall_v away_o again_o can_v have_v two_o sermon_n upon_o matth_n 24.12.13_o preach_v by_o richard_n rogers_n verse_n 12_o and_o because_o iniquity_n shall_v be_v increase_v the_o love_n of_o many_o shall_v be_v cold_a but_o he_o that_o endure_v to_o the_o end_n he_o shall_v be_v save_v sermon_n as_o i_o use_v and_o think_v it_o expedient_a so_o to_o do_v in_o preach_v a_o sermon_n to_o acquaint_v the_o hearer_n first_o with_o the_o thing_n which_o most_o concern_v they_o to_o attend_v unto_o so_o i_o will_v first_o show_v what_o matter_n i_o mean_v to_o stand_v upon_o and_o as_o it_o be_v the_o usual_a manner_n of_o our_o saviour_n to_o speak_v to_o the_o people_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o concern_v all_o that_o hear_v he_o that_o there_o may_v be_v hope_n that_o all_o sort_n may_v take_v good_a thereby_o so_o my_o purpose_n be_v to_o do_v now_o therefore_o see_v all_o sort_n of_o hearer_n be_v either_o worker_n of_o iniquity_n and_o such_o as_o fill_v the_o world_n with_o sin_n or_o such_o as_o have_v receive_v the_o love_n of_o the_o word_n into_o their_o heart_n of_o which_o sort_n some_o have_v be_v discourage_v and_o have_v begin_v to_o faint_v and_o to_o wax_v cold_a and_o some_o hold_n on_o their_o course_n commendablie_o though_o these_o be_v the_o few_o therefore_o to_o all_o these_o three_o sort_n i_o will_v direct_v my_o speech_n that_o the_o first_o may_v repent_v betimes_o and_o return_v to_o the_o lord_n the_o second_o may_v rise_v out_o of_o their_o fall_n and_o stand_v fast_o in_o the_o good_a estate_n wherein_o they_o have_v begin_v and_o the_o last_o may_v hold_v on_o in_o their_o first_o love_n and_o continue_v to_o the_o end_n wherein_o their_o happiness_n consist_v text_n and_o that_o i_o may_v not_o be_v think_v to_o speak_v what_o i_o list_v i_o will_v show_v how_o our_o saviour_n christ_n do_v give_v occasion_n hereof_o most_o fit_o speak_v himself_o of_o all_o these_o three_o sort_n in_o the_o word_n which_o i_o have_v read_v unto_o you_o for_o he_o foretell_v many_o thing_n that_o shall_v afterward_o come_v to_o pass_v put_v in_o this_o one_o among_o the_o rest_n say_v it_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o latter_a day_n that_o people_n shall_v be_v give_v over_o to_o sin_n and_o even_o where_o the_o gospel_n shall_v be_v preach_v even_o there_o iniquity_n shall_v abound_v in_o such_o wise_a that_o it_o shall_v draw_v away_o many_o of_o they_o who_o have_v embrace_v and_o love_v the_o truth_n so_o that_o they_o shall_v faint_v and_o fall_v from_o the_o goodness_n that_o have_v be_v in_o they_o but_o let_v they_o say_v he_o rouse_v up_o themselves_o again_o and_o return_v to_o their_o first_o love_n and_o they_o who_o yet_o hold_v it_o let_v they_o abide_v still_o in_o it_o for_o they_o only_a who_o continue_v to_o the_o end_n shall_v be_v save_v and_o by_o this_o which_o he_o say_v it_o may_v easy_o be_v gather_v thereof_o that_o he_o speak_v of_o three_o sort_n as_o i_o also_o intend_v to_o do_v and_o withal_o three_o thing_n he_o set_v down_o one_o that_o iniquity_n shall_v abound_v the_o second_o that_o by_o mean_n thereof_o the_o love_n of_o many_o shall_v wax_v cold_a the_o three_o that_o they_o who_o wise_o decline_v and_o shun_v both_o and_o enter_v and_o keep_v on_o in_o the_o good_a way_n wherein_o god_n have_v set_v they_o unto_o the_o end_n they_o shall_v undoubted_o be_v save_v and_o have_v everlasting_a life_n now_o to_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o i_o will_v handle_v it_o thus_o part_n i_o will_v before_o i_o go_v further_o prove_v the_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n to_o be_v most_o clear_a &_o true_a that_o all_o may_v see_v into_o they_o second_o apply_v they_o in_o more_o particular_a manner_n to_o all_o such_o as_o do_v cause_n iniquity_n to_o abound_v that_o all_o who_o desire_n may_v be_v able_a to_o see_v whether_o they_o be_v of_o the_o number_n of_o they_o that_o they_o may_v thereafter_o provide_v for_o themselves_o and_o three_o i_o will_v show_v what_o use_v all_o such_o aught_o to_o make_v of_o the_o doctrine_n which_o they_o have_v verify_v in_o have_v be_v helper_n to_o increase_v iniquity_n and_o that_o be_v this_o that_o when_o they_o see_v they_o have_v live_v in_o time_n pass_v to_o no_o other_o end_n then_o to_o help_v to_o fill_v the_o world_n with_o sin_n they_o may_v give_v all_o diligence_n to_o seek_v the_o pardon_n of_o their_o evil_a do_n and_o never_o rest_v quiet_a until_o they_o have_v obtain_v it_o and_o come_v out_o of_o they_o which_o be_v the_o right_a use_n of_o know_v it_o but_o if_o they_o still_o go_v forward_o in_o their_o evil_a course_n they_o may_v show_v themselves_o to_o be_v as_o they_o be_v that_o be_v contemner_n and_o that_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v full_a of_o iniquity_n in_o these_o latter_a day_n of_o we_o it_o be_v prove_v by_o two_o reason_n
