Christe but it is the worke of God in him The order also in our conuersion to the Lorde is excellent The Father geueth to his Christe those whiche shall be called The holy Ghost he giueth into their hartes whom he hath predestinate to lyfe which spirite graffeth them into Christe who by his blood doth wash their soules from sinne and by the same his spirite doth forme them in his fayth whose Gospell he writeth in their hartes and sheedeth his loue into their consciences so that they walke in newnes of lyfe because they are taken vp and the olde man in them cast downe and as newe creatures they follow their leader Christe into the steppes besitting their condition These are they whiche are theodidaktoi all taught of god This elegant order is described at large by the Prophet Ezechiell in this sort A newe hart vvill I geue you and a new spirite vvill I put vvithin you I vvill take away the stony hart out of your body and vvill geue you an hart of flesh and I vvill put my spirite vvithin you and cause you to vvalke in my statutes and you shall keepe my iudgements and do theÌ„ And a little after I vvill be your God and you shall be my people And agayne thus Then shall ye remember your owne vvicked vvayes and your deedes vvhiche vvere not good and shall iudge your selues vvorthy to haue bene destroyed for your iniquities and abhominations Be it knowne to you that J doo not this for your sakes sayth the Lord God therefore be ashamed and confounded for your owne vvayes And Paule to the Romanes hath it thus Those which he knew before he also predestinate to be made like to the image of his sonne that he might be the first borne among many brethren Moreouer Whom he predestinate them also he called and whom he called them also he iustified and vvhom he iustified them also he glorified This is the golden gifte of god thus is oure newe creation lincked in this precious chayne The celestiall god hath inwardly beyonde tyme predestinate and created his people to the likenesse of hys sonne and hath by his holy spirite sealed them to him selfe and by thexternal Organ his holy worde through the ministerie of preaching in their seuerall times hath he called his sheepe to the knowledge of their shepheard Christ and state in him and by his bloody death hath iustified them before and with his supernaturall power hath made them glorious with the Angels So our conuersion as it is by the Lord so is it by his spirite and gospell wrought in vs Howe necessarie then the office of preaching is you see it is the instrumentall cause of our conuersion How miserable that place is which wanteth preaching may you perceyue by the glory that commeth through dayly teaching Christ by the truth in his word For this cause Christe so often Iohn Baptist so diligentlye the Prophetes seuerely the Apostles moste playnelye the Pastours and spirituall shepeheards in Gods Churche nowe moste comfortablye doe offer and exhibite vnto you the trueth of God to tourne your heartes By the preaching of the worde the worlde from tyme to tyme hath bene wonne to Christe the sonne of God and by the same the Gentiles are conuerted into him hereby this nation is chaunged into truth and Popery ouerthrowen by this shall the hartes of the children he turned to the fayth of their fathers in God and the Reprobate shall heerewith be condemned And this propertie Dauid giueth to the worde The Lawe of the Lorde sayth he conuerteth the soule the testimonie of the Lorde is faythfull and giueth light vnto the eyes The necessitie of teaching Paul preacheth to be great woe vnto me if I preache not sayth he where preaching fayleth the people perish sayth Salomon Fayth commeth by hearing of the word of God sayth Paule to the Romaines without fayth can not a man please God by faith we shall be more then conquerours he that beleeueth shall be saued but he that beleeueth not shall be damned sayth our doctor Christe Fayth is brought by hearing hearing wayteth of the Preacher the Preacher is dombe vnlesse he be sent pray therefore the Lorde of truth to send more store of true paynfull Preachers into this Churche of Englande and this shire and conuert in mercy or confound by Iustice these dombe Dogges whiche can not barke these watchemen whiche can not see these ydol shepheards which eyther can not or will nor feede the hungry Lambes of Gods holy Church and shepefold of this nation O Lord graunt this for thy Christ our chiefe shepheards sake Now deare freends examine your selues here present Is this holy chaunge wrought in you maye I say vnto you with Paule Ye were sometime Gentiles ye vvere dead in sinne ye vvere without God in this lyfe But you hath he quickened you hath he called you that were no people hath he nowe made the people of God you are no more straungers and forreners but Citizens with the Saincts and of the housholde of God buylt not vpon the Romishe rocke but vpon the doctrine of the Apostles and Prophetes Iesus Christe him selfe beeing the head corner stone in whom my brethren if you be by his spirite grafted and buylt you shall growe to an holy temple in the lord I trust to you I may say thus Ye were Gentiles but you are Christians of the cheefest I knowe it of the rest I haue great cause to thinke it and therfore with great comfort in God I proceede to the second point He leadeth vs in the pathes of righteousnes for his names sake In God is our conuersion in him also is the continuance of our vpright walking before him First of vs is here to be noted a double righteousnes whervnto we are brought by Christ The first is the righteousnes of Christ for vs to the Father The seconde is the righteousnes of man by Christe and is the worthy walking in holines of lyfe without ceassing The righteousnesse of Christ for vs consisteth in the person of him selfe who for vs hath so answered the fathers full iustice in his iuste sacrifice and hath so incorporate vs into him selfe by fayth throughe his spirite that the same his righteousnesse is accompted for ours so that though we by nature are wicked yet in respecte of his grace we are sanctified and iust in the sight of God whose it is to saue and to condemne Of this iustification or righteousnes Paule speaketh thus God sending his owne son downe in the similitude of sinfull fleshe for sinne condemned sinne in the fleshe that the righteousnesse of the lawe might be fulfilled in vs which walke not after the fleshe but after the spirite The seconde righteousnesse is the dayly walking in newnes of lyfe which is of euery man required that thus by the Lord is iustified The grace of God sayth Paule that bringeth saluation

So of the rest I deeme some say and wee also are not touched with the plague but they whiche haue deserued it haue it this doctrine therefore might best serue those whiche are nowe exercised with his louing Rodde But to one and other of you I say deare brethren as Christ our louing Shephearde sayde to the reporters of Pylates cruell facte who mingled the blood of the Galileans with the sacrifice of the Iewes thus Suppose yee saythe Christe that these Galileans were greater sinners then all the other Galileans because they haue suffered suche thinges I tell you nay But except yee amende your lyues ye shall all likewise perishe Or thinke you that those eyghtien vpon whom the Towre in Syloam fell and slewe them that they were sinners aboue all men that dwelt in Ierusalem I tell you nay But excepte ye amende your lyues yee shall all likewise perishe So let Christ say to you heere present That you are by my sparing hande brought from the plague in Irelande that you are yet seuered from the sicke here in Rutlande it is not for that any of you from the Preacher to the basest Hearer haue lesse offended but that I woulde vse them for your Preachers to amendement and them selues to a bettered lyfe as hereafter yf by their example ye amende not I will make you the lyke example to others when they shall see my hande shaking ouer you Praye for our brethren therefore helpe too succour theyr present neede and repent in time least that his scourge of loue beeing remoued we feele the heauy fall of his angry Rodde Wherof our Prophete speaketh in the seconde Psalme prophecying the vtter ruine of all those that insult agaynst Christ and his chosen children For as he is moste louely vnto his louely sheepe So to the stubborne harted he is the God of strength who can and will correcte or compell them to stoupe to his good pleasure And he is sayde to haue an yron Rodde in respect of his diuine power and princely dominion ouer the mightie Kinges of the earth who with his worde doth arme the weake things of the world agaynst the moste gigaunt vnder heauen Lise and Frogges shall bee to strong for stout Pharao the mightie gigante king of Egypt and weake Dauid shall ouerthrowe the huge armies of the Philisteans the Syrians the Ammonites the Moabites The Idumeans and the SyriaÌ„s shal ofteÌ„ by weaknes be brought froÌ„ their great streÌ„gth Sennacherib with his Rabsekah shal leaue his siege agaynst Ierusalem shal be broken into peeces his owne sonnes shall strike him to the hart with their swords the Lordes yron rod to his vtter confusion And to this their vtter shame the Lorde from heauen shal vse but his only word and with the breath of his mouth shall he make al creatures redy to be his rod to the confusion of the wicked His owne prophet Elisah shal cause blindnes to come into the eyes of the mightie host which froÌ„ the king of Syria are sent to take him and shal bring theÌ„ into Samaria the citie of their enemies Bennadad the king of Aram shal be compelled to remoue his siege from Samaria in one night because the Lord hath made the concept of hearing of charrets horsmen to be his yron rod to driue them before their enemies which by them before were brought to most extreme pennurie so that an asses heade was solde for foure schore siluerlinges and a load of doues doung to rost the same for fyue syluerlinges The former churches of the caste which did degenerate froÌ„ their first faith hath he with this his angry rod cast vnder the power of the Turke that they may beleeue lies to their destruction which would not receiue the truth when it was offered them Christe in his owne person is this rodde of anger to all that stubbornly resist him He that stumbleth at this Christe shall be brused but vppon whoÌ„soeuer this stone Christ shall fall he shall grind theÌ„ all to poudre take hede of this angry so dayly prouoked yron rod. For as to the faithfull he is lyfe and consolatioÌ„ so to the vnbeleuing obstinate he is the yron rod here spoken of His ghospel Apostles preachers ministers hath he made to be the same according to the nature of their auditory as The Apostle Paule witnesseth saying The weapons of our warefare are not carnall but mighty through God to caste downe holdes casting downe the imaginations and euery high thing that is exalted againste the knowledge of God bringing into captiuitie euery thought to the obedience of Christ And hauing ready the vengeaunce against all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled O my brethren consider your calling ye are the sheepe of Christe what belongeth your calling Truely to heare with reuerent obedience his voyce What is his workmanshippe then of you regenerate To purge you with his rodde of loue that ye should be more fruitefull and to the greater comfort of you his chosen he plaigeth to destruction with his angrye yron rodde the wicked whiche can not but muche moleste you were they vnbrydled Take heede in tyme repent and beleeue his ghospell leaste the former being ended his second rodde beginne to skoure you oute of place for a better people Thus muche for the Lordes roddes and nowe to the shepheardes crooke that doubled staffe of whiche Dauid thus sayth Thy rodde and thy staffe they comfort me As it is farre more safety for vs to be vnder our shepheards rod then committed or left to the woluishe iawes of Satanicall broade So is it our best comfort and assured prosperitie to dwell vnder the reach of his most louing gouerment which here is set forth vnto vs by the shepheard staffe Very significaÌ„tly doth the Prophet Zachary set downe the loue and anger of God by the two stanes which Christe our shepheard first toke into his hand and after brust in sundre And these be his words I toke vnto me two staues the prophet speaketh in the person of Christ the one J called beautie and the other I called baÌ„ds J fed the shepe And a little after he sayth Their soule abhorred me and J sayde J vvill not feede you that vvhich dyeth let it dye and that vvhich perisheth let it perishe and let the remnant eate one another euery one the fleshe of his neighbour And J toke my staffe beauty and brake it that J might disanull my couenaunt vvhich J had made vvith all people And somewhat after thus Then brake J myne other staffe euen bandes that J might dissolue the brotherhoode betvvene Judah and Jsraell By the firste staffe beauty the Prophet vnderstandeth that most elegant frame of the Iewishe common welth gouernment which for the great excellencie thereof is here called beautie Of this staffe Moses triumphing speaketh thus Keepe these lavves and do them for that is your vvisedome and

he maketh the stormy windes to ceasse so that the waues therof are still 30.
