Metamor lib. 2. Horat. lib. 1. Epist 2. in the aduersitie of another man It is Headed with a Desire to doe hurt and yet it is a weapon that euer hurteth him that vseth it more theÌ„ him at whom it is shot and therefore a) Pro. 14.0 Salomon calleth Enuie the rotting of the bones and the Poet tels vs that Enuie is a Pale woman and very leane with Rowling eyes Rustie teeth Breastes full of gall and a Tongue sprinckled ouer with poyson One that neuer laughes but for griefe neuer sleepes but pines away continually euen dies with discontent So saith Iob (b) Iob. 5.2 doubtlesse anger killeth the foolish and slayeth the Idiot Enuie then is but a Fooles Bolte soone shot and euer most hurtfull to him that shootes it wherfore as the Apostle saith so say I to all men (c) 1. Pet. 2.1 Basil in serm de Invidia Let vs lay aside all maliciousnesse and all guile and dissimulation and enuie and all euill speaking for as Blasting saith S. Basile spoileth corne so Enuie is the bane of Friendship In this worlde (d) Apo. 22.25 and in the life to come such as bee Enuious and dogged shall bee excluded out of the societie of the Elect For without shall bee Dogges c. The second Arrowe is Hatred and it may fitly be likened to that which by the Psalmist is called Sagitta volans The Arrowe that flieth by day Namely the Pestilence because by it manie haue bene destroied and ouerthrowne It is like the Iaueline e) 1 Sam. 18 11. which Saul darted against Dauid thinking therwith to haue nailed him to the wall He that shooteth it is (f) 1. Ioh. 2.11 a Manslayer a murtherer that walketh in darknes or in the shadow of death Such Archers as vse it be like vnto the Olde Serpent their father whom our Sauiour calleth a (g) Ioh 8.44 murtherer from the beginning It is the nature of the Serpent when he coÌ„meth to a fountaine before he drinke to cast vp his poyson after he hath drunke to licke it vp againe So the hatefull Man though for a time hee voydeth his stomacke of venome and maketh shewe to bee in loue and charitie with all men yet forthwith here turneth to his vomit and renueth his hatred I know by experience some such Serpents whose poysonous hatred is so inueterate that it can neuer bee forsaken nor lefte vtterlie It is written that Germanicus the Emperour did naturallie hate a Cocke so that hee could not endure his sight nor his crowing and it is reported that the Arabians and Aethiopians doe naturally abhorre the mouse like vnto these be some sort of men in whom a hatred of their brethren and of their neighbours is inbred by nature but let all such heare what Christ saith (h) Mat. 5.43.44 yee haue heard that it hath beene said thou shalt loue thy neighbour and hate thine enemie but I say vnto you loue your enemies blesse them that curse you doe good to them that hate you and pray for them which hurt you and persecute you here we may learne that our Sauiour would haue all men to eschewe hatred as a most deadly sinne and the roote of many ill branches as detraction slaunder murder and such like abominable vices The third Arrowe is Mocking or Taunting and this Arrowe as it is vsed is both Good Euill if it be shot against the diuel it is a good arrowe if against God it is euil Psellus saith that some diuels are driuen away by Iesting and a Mocke or Taunt is one of the most forcible medicines of sinne and therefore some of the Prophets vsed it in desperate cures (i) 1. Reg. 18. 17. Eliah mockt the Priests of Baal teaching them by his wittie mirth that Baal was no God (k) Isa 44. and Isaiah doth pleasantly deride the Idol maker because of the one halfe of a tree he maketh a fire to warme himselfe and to seeth his meate and with the rest of the blocke he frameth an Image before which he afterwards falleth downe giueth honour vnto it worshippeth it calleth vpon it and serueth it to shoote thus is the wounding of Sathan and the killing of sinne But when a man makes God his marke to shoote at then is the Arrowe euill the arrowe of Mocking is shot against God either directly or indirectly directly by foolish Atheists which say in their harts there is no God and laugh at theÌ„ that serue him saying Tush the Lord sees not indirectly wheÌ„ such as sincerely honour and loue him are scorned and taunted concerning this Arrowe the Apostle saith Let not there be in you l AuchrÃ³tes that is filthie and foule coÌ„munication MorologÃa fond foolish wordes neither Eutrapelia that is vrbanitie and pleasant ieasting In this place S. Paul by EutrapelÃa doth note BomolochÃa which signifieth Scuâ—rilitie whereby Scoffes and rayling speeches are rashly cast out against others rather with offence vnto the godly hearers then with any edifying This Arrow euer sticketh vnder the girdle of the proud and vain-glorious man whose custome is to shoote it against such as hee meaneth to disgrace with this Arrow was Samson wounded by the Philistims when they made him their (m) Iud 26.25 laughing-stocke our SAVIOVR by the Iewes when they platted a Crowne of thornes vpon his head and put a Reede in his Right hand and bowed their knees before him and mocked him saying n) Math. 27.29 Hayle King of the Iewes The fourth Arrowe is Lying of all the rest this is the worst and the most venemous Arrowe for it is the Diuels sharpest weapon (o) Ioh. 8.44 who is a Lyar and the father of Lyes (p) Gen. 3.4 Herewith hee woundeth the Truth of God Herewith hee putteth out the eyes of men so that they walke in the way of errour Herewith he stirreth vp strife and dissention Herewith hee depriueth men of

be vnto thee thou euill tongue but I wish and counsell him to set these words of the Psalmist as a watch before his lippes (p) Psal 34.12.13 What man is hee that desireth life and loueth long daies to see good keepe thy tongue from euill and thy lippes that they speake no guile In this world these two Tongues are contrarily censured for Gods Tongue that giueth goodly words is euer blamed but the Diuels tongue which is the Organon or instrument of wickednesse is alwaies extolled this iniudicious censure is caused through the corruption of mans nature which embraceth vice and abhorreth vertue the world being a land of darkenesse hath no fellowship with the light and therefore it blameth the good tongue be the words thereof neuer so godlie All the Prophets of the old Testament either were persecuted or murthered because of their tongues Iohn Baptist who was the Common limite of the old and the newe Testament for his Tongue lost his head and most of the Apostles of the new TestameÌ„t because of their tongues were like sheepe led to the slaughter So is it in these dayes the Tongue that vtters the Truth is accounted an vnquiet seditious and factious tongue As Eliah was said to be a troubler of Israel Amos a conspiratour Iohn Baptist a tumultuous person so all such as speake with zeale against vice are by Worldlings reputed euill tongued raylers and bablers But let the blinde worlde iudge as it will Sure I am that such Tongues as giue goodly words and speake the Truth boldly are the Siluer Trumpets of Gods Tabernacle Of the coÌ„trary part the euill tongue though it swell with the venome of Blasphemie Swearing Insolencie Lying and Flatterie yet it is admired and highly esteemed if it can but say as the Tongues of the false Prophets did Peace Peace and make a couenant with the diuell and the world not to speake against sinne To conclude seeing that it was so excellent a quality in Naphtali to giue goodly words Let vs all studie to speake his language and though for speaking the truth the worlde hate vs yet this is our Comfort God will loue vs. THE ELEVENTH SERMON OF IOSEPH GEN. 49.22.23.24.25.26 Ioseph shall be a fruitfull Bough euen a fruitefull Boughe by the Well side the small Boughes shall runne vpon the wall And the Archers grieued him and shotte against him and hated him But his bowe abode strong the hands of his armes were strengthened by the hands of the mightie GOD of Iacob of whom was the feeder appointed by the stone of Israel Euen by the God of thy Father who shall helpe thee and by the Almightie who shall blesse thee with heauenly Blessings from aboue with blessings of the deepe that lyeth beneath with blessings of the brestes and of the wombe The blessings of thy Father shall bee stronger then the blessings of mine Elders vnto the ende of the hilles of the worlde they shal be on the head of Ioseph and on the toppe of the Head of him that was separate from his brethren IOseph was the Sonne of Iacob and Rahel who had been barren long for he was borne in the ende of Iacobs foureteene yeares seruice In the historie of his birth it is said that (a) Gen. 30.25 Gen. 30.22.23.24 God remeÌ„bred Rahel and God heard her opened her wombe So shee conceiued and bare a Sonne said God hath taken away my rebuke she called his name Ioseph saying the Lorde will giue mee yet another Sonne The circumstaÌ„ces of Iosephs birth are demonstrations of Rahels repentance In my former lectures vpon Dan Naphtali I laid open her enuie follie impatience vaineglorie But now she is another woman and a true conuert For in that God first remeÌ„bred her secondly heard her thirdly opened her wombe all which are signes of grace and fauour it is euident that she had repented and sorrowed for her sinnes and also that she had praied vnto God to make her fruitfull whereupon God remembred her heard her and opened her wombe This name of her sonne Ioseph is by interpretation Increasing And therein is infolded or included Rahels hopefull desire of a threefolde increase The first is the encrease of her husbands loue who loued her before better then Leah yet now vpon the birth of this sonne she hopes that his loue will be augmented for children are bellowes that kindle mutuall affection betwixt man and wife and this was one cause why Sarah Rahel and Annah were so desirous of children The second is the encrease of glorie for she said God hath taken away my rebuke or infamie For barrennesse in the familie of Abraham was reproachfull as may appeare by the wordes of Isaiah saying (b] Isai 4.1 And in that day shall seuen women take holde of one man say wee will eate our owne bread wee will weare our owne garments onely let vs be called by thy name and take away our reproach The third is the encrease of issue for shee saide the Lord will giue me yet another sonne and this increase as she trulie acknowledgeth must come froÌ„ God for none but hee caries the Key of the wombe Barrennesse fruitfulnesse doe both of them depend vpon his prouidence Of the first of these there bee diuerse Naturall causes as either some originall defectes in the Birth For some are borne vnapt for Generation (c) Arist lib. 2. de gen animalium Or it may come by diseases and sometimes the constitution of the body is an impediment as in fatte bodies where nature is turned into the nutriment of the bodie but the supernaturall cause of Barrennesse is when it pleaseth GOD to restraine the wombe which hee doth sometimes for a punishment (d) Gen. 20.18 as in the women of Abimelechs house whose wombes God shut vp because Abimelech had taken Sarah Abrahams wife And sometimes for the manifestation of his owne glorie and power as when he maketh Sarah and Elizabeth continue barren euen vntill they be stricken in yeares and vntill it ceaseth to be with them as with other women that contrarie to the course of nature hee may make the barren woman to beare to bee a ioyfull mother of childreÌ„ Secondly concerning fruitfulnes euen the heathen Philosopher confesseth thus much Though generation saith Plato be done in a mortall creature Plat. Sympos yet it is a aâ—â—ure thing procured by an immortall power though Iacob and Rahel were both very desirous of children yet for all that nature could doe nothing till God had opened her wombe Ioseph shall be a fruitfull Bough c. In this speech of Iâ—cob to Ioseph there be three things contained a prediction a narration and a Benediction First the Prediction or Prophecie is implied in these wordes Ioseph shall be a fruitfull bough euen a fruitfull bough by the Well-side the small boughes shall run vpon the wall In this prophecie which is a declaration of things to come Iacob
