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

they_o bestow_v their_o labour_n and_o travel_v upon_o that_o which_o can_v not_o profit_v but_o deceive_v they_o for_o by_o money_n in_o this_o verse_n he_o mean_v their_o precious_a labour_n and_o

when_o he_o have_v reprove_v they_o for_o this_o great_a fault_n he_o exhort_v they_o to_o be_v wise_a and_o to_o hear_v he_o attentive_o in_o show_v they_o a_o better_a way_n even_o the_o right_n and_o true_a way_n to_o happiness_n that_o be_v by_o thirst_v after_o it_o as_o the_o other_o do_v mention_v in_o the_o former_a verse_n and_o so_o do_v he_o show_v they_o what_o a_o worthy_a fruit_n they_o shall_v reap_v thereof_o even_o all_o abundance_n of_o thing_n worthy_a to_o be_v desire_v and_o rest_n to_o their_o soul_n thereby_o which_o he_o mean_v by_o that_o allegorical_a speech_n when_o he_o say_v eat_v that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o let_v your_o soul_n delight_n in_o fatness_n thus_o much_o for_o the_o meaning_n of_o this_o verse_n now_o brief_o look_v we_o into_o the_o

we_o have_v lay_v our_o foundation_n already_o we_o have_v believe_v and_o repent_v as_o our_o saviour_n will_v have_v it_o long_v ago_o and_o we_o will_v not_o alter_v our_o judgement_n and_o

discern_v the_o authority_n and_o power_n of_o the_o word_n the_o first_o be_v because_o if_o we_o do_v it_o not_o at_o the_o first_o perhaps_o we_o shall_v never_o after_n and_o especial_o if_o any_o such_o of_o we_o be_v caviller_n and_o resister_n of_o it_o i_o deny_v not_o 20.5.6_o but_o the_o lord_n call_v at_o the_o nine_o and_o eleven_o hour_n which_o refuse_v to_o come_v at_o the_o seven_o

that_o be_v not_o fit_a to_o be_v urge_v to_o day_n be_v like_a to_o be_v less_o fit_a to_o morrow_n for_o who_o know_v that_o he_o shall_v have_v mind_n or_o mean_n or_o if_o he_o have_v both_o yet_o whither_o he_o shall_v have_v opportunity_n by_o health_n and_o freedom_n from_o pain_n and_o disease_n to_o use_v and_o enjoy_v they_o and_o although_o he_o do_v yet_o whether_o the_o lord_n will_v bless_v they_o in_o all_o which_o respect_v the_o wise_a man_n adulse_v thus_o remember_v thy_o maker_n o_o man_n in_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o youth_n 12.1_o while_o the_o evil_a day_n come_v not_o nor_o the_o year_n approach_v in_o which_o thou_o shall_v say_v i_o have_v no_o pleasure_n in_o they_o i_o have_v i_o deny_v not_o see_v the_o ignorant_a and_o careless_a who_o have_v not_o be_v able_a to_o discern_v and_o consider_v what_o they_o do_v in_o neglect_v and_o refuse_v the_o benefit_n of_o the_o gospel_n offer_v they_o i_o have_v see_v such_o i_o say_v to_o have_v be_v bring_v to_o repentance_n and_o that_o god_n have_v not_o call_v their_o sin_n to_o remembrance_n against_o they_o though_o many_o even_o of_o they_o yet_o have_v never_o find_v it_o so_o note_n but_o the_o scornful_a and_o the_o caviller_n who_o against_o his_o knowledge_n have_v resist_v the_o truth_n and_o strive_v against_o it_o i_o have_v rare_o in_o my_o observation_n see_v but_o their_o death_n have_v be_v like_o their_o life_n without_o any_o pregnant_a sign_n of_o repentance_n the_o second_o cause_n why_o man_n shall_v be_v desirous_a to_o convert_v true_o to_o god_n at_o the_o first_o hear_v of_o the_o gospel_n be_v this_o that_o though_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a to_o do_v it_o at_o the_o last_o whereas_o yet_o in_o all_o experience_n late_o repent_v be_v dangerous_a what_o wise_a man_n will_v be_v content_a to_o go_v without_o the_o fruit_n of_o it_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n no_o if_o it_o be_v but_o for_o one_o day_n when_o he_o may_v enjoy_v it_o 84.11_o see_v one_o day_n in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n be_v better_a than_o a_o thousand_o in_o any_o estate_n whatsoever_o out_o of_o a_o godly_a life_n and_o thus_o it_o shall_v be_v see_v thus_o it_o may_v be_v with_o a_o man_n that_o so_o he_o may_v enjoy_v even_o all_o his_o life_n long_o the_o most_o sweet_a peace_n of_o god_n which_o pass_v all_o understanding_n though_o not_o without_o tribulation_n in_o the_o flesh_n which_o no_o unbeliever_n nor_o impenitent_a person_n can_v taste_v of_o his_o rejoice_a being_n only_o momentany_a and_o deceitful_a the_o three_o reason_n be_v this_o that_o the_o soon_o we_o repent_v the_o soon_o we_o make_v joyful_a and_o glad_a all_o the_o true_a servant_n of_o god_n yea_o the_o very_a angel_n 15.7_o who_o our_o saviour_n affirm_v to_o rejoice_v thereat_o and_o beside_o the_o soon_o we_o shall_v be_v fit_a to_o teach_v the_o way_n of_o god_n to_o sinner_n 51.14_o and_o help_v to_o convert_v the_o wicked_a unto_o he_o when_o we_o shall_v ourselves_o be_v able_a to_o rejoice_v in_o our_o salvation_n be_v make_v assure_v thereof_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o who_o will_v lie_v idle_a from_o so_o great_a employment_n to_o draw_v sinner_n unto_o god_n 12.3_o when_o we_o read_v that_o they_o who_o win_v many_o shall_v shine_v as_o the_o star_n for_o ever_o and_o over_o object_n if_o it_o be_v object_v against_o this_o which_o i_o have_v say_v why_o be_v the_o repentant_a state_n in_o so_o mean_a account_n in_o the_o world_n then_o if_o it_o be_v so_o gainful_a and_o so_o high_o commend_v answ_n i_o answer_v for_o three_o cause_n 1.4_o first_o see_v the_o dear_a to_o god_n be_v in_o this_o life_n under_o many_o trouble_n account_n as_o the_o church_n complain_v i_o be_o black_a o_o you_o daughter_n of_o jerusalem_n that_o be_v disfigure_v with_o trouble_n therefore_o the_o bad_a world_n shun_v and_o despise_v she_o for_o which_o she_o answer_v in_o the_o prophet_n micha_n rejoice_v not_o at_o i_o o_o my_o enemy_n for_o though_o i_o be_o fall_v yet_o shall_v i_o rise_v again_o 7.8_o and_o i_o will_v bear_v my_o punishment_n because_o i_o have_v sin_v and_o yet_o when_o they_o such_o despiser_n i_o mean_v and_o their_o like_a be_v afflict_v and_o the_o godly_a in_o prosperity_n they_o think_v they_o the_o only_a happy_a people_n second_o they_o narrow_o observe_v the_o slip_n and_o infirmity_n of_o god_n servant_n and_o make_v they_o odious_a and_o be_v ready_a to_o take_v hurt_v by_o they_o but_o the_o good_a course_n of_o their_o life_n they_o regard_v not_o neither_o think_v that_o they_o need_v to_o follow_v they_o therein_o nay_o shall_v i_o say_v as_o the_o truth_n be_v if_o the_o godly_a keep_v a_o narrow_a watch_n over_o their_o way_n oh_o then_o they_o be_v too_o precise_a for_o they_o to_o keep_v company_n with_o they_o say_v and_o on_o the_o otherside_n if_o they_o slip_v offensive_o at_o any_o time_n nay_o if_o they_o be_v but_o report_v of_o to_o have_v do_v so_o be_v it_o true_a or_o false_a they_o cry_v out_o in_o another_o manner_n thus_o oh_o these_o be_v your_o professor_n do_v you_o not_o see_v what_o fruit_n they_o bring_v forth_o so_o they_o who_o be_v purpose_v to_o take_v no_o good_a by_o they_o can_v always_o lay_v stop_n in_o their_o own_o way_n and_o while_o they_o be_v at_o that_o point_n it_o be_v no_o marvel_n though_o they_o set_v not_o much_o by_o repentance_n which_o be_v that_o whereof_o god_n people_n have_v their_o name_n that_o they_o be_v call_v repentant_a or_o godly_a the_o three_o reason_n why_o such_o have_v the_o godly_a life_n in_o no_o better_a account_n and_o reckon_n be_v for_o that_o they_o know_v little_a nay_o they_o be_v far_o off_o from_o it_o what_o joy_n and_o comfort_v it_o bring_v with_o it_o neither_o the_o sweet_a and_o holy_a peace_n which_o they_o who_o live_v godly_a do_v enjoy_v for_o solomon_n true_o set_v down_o that_o he_o that_o be_v a_o stranger_n from_o the_o life_n of_o god_n people_n 14.3_o shall_v

be_v the_o lord_n redeem_v one_o which_o if_o they_o do_v know_v they_o will_v as_o our_o saviour_n say_v to_o the_o woman_n of_o samaria_n first_o have_v ask_v it_o of_o he_o 4.10_o as_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v most_o precious_a 11.25_o and_o will_v have_v prefer_v it_o before_o the_o pleasure_n of_o sin_n which_o yet_o last_v but_o for_o a_o season_n and_o this_o be_v say_v of_o the_o second_o point_n in_o the_o second_o part_n namely_o of_o repent_v betimes_o now_o this_o repent_v which_o christ_n here_o speak_v of_o part_n what_o it_o be_v which_o be_v the_o last_o point_n in_o this_o second_o part_n this_z i_o say_v let_v we_o examine_v a_o little_a and_o so_o make_v a_o end_n his_o word_n be_v these_o they_o will_v have_v repent_v in_o sackcloth_n and_o ash_n this_o must_v needs_o be_v as_o we_o may_v well_o gather_v by_o his_o own_o word_n a_o matter_n of_o great_a importance_n and_o that_o the_o repent_v which_o man_n common_o so_o call_v be_v nothing_o less_o than_o that_o which_o he_o here_o mean_v and_o speak_v of_o for_o the_o lord_n jesus_n in_o say_v they_o will_v have_v repent_v in_o sackcloth_n and_o ash_n mean_v that_o they_o will_v have_v do_v it_o hearty_o and_o sound_o as_o these_o outward_a ceremony_n do_v testify_v such_o a_o thing_n and_o he_o speak_v so_o because_o it_o be_v well_o know_v to_o they_o to_o who_o he_o speak_v that_o they_o who_o repent_v unfeigned_o in_o time_n past_a show_v it_o that_o way_n though_o he_o do_v not_o thereby_o justify_v all_o to_o be_v
