A69089	An excellent and godly sermon most needefull for this time, wherein we liue in all securitie and sinne, to the great dishonour of God, and contempt of his holy word. Preached at Paules Crosse the xxvi. daye of October, an. 1578 by Laurence Chaderton Batcheler of Diuinitie.	Chaderton, Laurence, 1536?-1640.	1578 (1578)	STC 4924; ESTC S117846	46,847	118

give_v unto_o any_o of_o the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o name_n 9.41_o but_o a_o cup_n of_o cold_a water_n to_o drink_v that_o he_o shall_v not_o lose_v his_o reward_n again_o see_v that_o of_o all_o work_n of_o love_n and_o compassion_n these_o two_o in_o our_o judgement_n be_v without_o all_o comparison_n the_o chief_a for_o what_o great_a love_n can_v any_o man_n show_v towards_o the_o soul_n of_o his_o brother_n then_o by_o preach_v to_o deliver_v it_o from_o the_o kingdom_n of_o darkness_n and_o translate_v it_o into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o light_n or_o what_o great_a love_n can_v there_o be_v show_v towards_o his_o body_n then_o to_o cure_v it_o from_o all_o infirmity_n yea_o and_o that_o which_o be_v marvellous_a to_o deliver_v it_o from_o the_o possession_n of_o devil_n notwithstanding_o we_o see_v by_o the_o answer_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n that_o these_o work_n and_o therefore_o all_o other_o which_o be_v of_o less_o value_n be_v insufficient_a defence_n either_o to_o allege_v unto_o christ_n for_o the_o avoid_n of_o the_o sentence_n of_o death_n or_o to_o persuade_v our_o own_o conscience_n that_o we_o be_v belove_v of_o god_n according_a to_o our_o former_a doctrine_n for_o albeit_o they_o be_v necessary_a for_o diverse_a and_o sundry_a cause_n before_o mention_v yet_o they_o contain_v no_o part_n of_o that_o pure_a obedience_n which_o by_o god_n spirit_n be_v wrought_v in_o all_o the_o true_a member_n of_o christ_n what_o then_o be_v that_o which_o make_v preach_v and_o all_o other_o work_v acceptable_a unto_o god_n and_o profitable_a for_o the_o comfort_n and_o salvation_n of_o the_o doer_n see_v the_o work_v themselves_o shall_v be_v reject_v sure_o to_o answer_v in_o one_o word_n it_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o do_v whereof_o we_o have_v speak_v before_o at_o large_a in_o consideration_n whereof_o bless_a paul_n do_v justify_v his_o preach_n not_o because_o he_o do_v preach_v for_o woe_n be_v unto_o i_o say_v he_o 9.16_o if_o i_o preach_v not_o the_o gospel_n but_o because_o he_o observe_v the_o right_a manner_n &_o order_n of_o preach_v the_o which_o manner_n 20.24_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o i_o can_v see_v and_o gather_v concern_v either_o the_o utterance_n of_o true_a doctrine_n or_o the_o affection_n of_o the_o mind_n whence_o it_o proceed_v for_o the_o utterance_n he_o witness_v that_o christ_n send_v he_o to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n 21._o not_o with_o wisdom_n of_o word_n yea_o that_o it_o please_v god_n by_o the_o foolishness_n of_o preach_v to_o save_v they_o that_o believe_v again_o vers_fw-la he_o rejoice_v that_o he_o come_v not_o with_o excellency_n of_o word_n or_o of_o wisdom_n show_v unto_o the_o corinthian_n the_o testimony_n of_o god_n and_o also_o that_o his_o word_n and_o preach_v stand_v not_o in_o the_o entice_a speech_n of_o man_n wisdom_n but_o in_o plain_a evidence_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o power_n that_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o hearer_n shall_v not_o be_v in_o the_o wisdom_n of_o man_n but_o in_o the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o to_o show_v in_o what_o word_n he_o speak_v the_o gospel_n of_o god_n and_o who_o be_v the_o author_n &_o teacher_n of_o they_o he_o show_v plain_o in_o a_o other_o place_n 2.13_o say_v which_o thing_n also_o we_o speak_v not_o in_o the_o word_n which_o man_n wisdom_n teach_v but_o in_o the_o word_n which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n teach_v compare_v spiritual_a thing_n with_o spiritual_a thing_n for_o as_o the_o doctrine_n and_o foundation_n of_o our_o redemption_n be_v altogether_o heavenly_a and_o spiritual_a so_o ought_v those_o that_o be_v builder_n thereupon_o to_o build_v after_o a_o heavenly_a and_o spiritual_a manner_n as_o the_o apostle_n teach_v in_o another_o place_n compare_v this_o heavenly_a man_n to_o gold_n silver_n and_o precious_a stone_n and_o the_o contrary_a to_o timber_n hay_o and_o stubble_n in_o these_o word_n 3.12_o if_o any_o man_n build_v upon_o this_o foundation_n gold_n silver_n precious_a stone_n timber_n 13._o hay_o or_o stubble_n every_o man_n work_n shall_v be_v make_v manifest_a for_o the_o day_n shall_v declare_v it_o because_o it_o shall_v be_v reveal_v by_o fire_n and_o the_o fire_n shall_v try_v every_o man_n work_n of_o what_o sort_n it_o be_v wherein_o we_o see_v how_o necessary_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v for_o we_o that_o be_v preacher_n and_o divider_n of_o the_o word_n not_o only_o to_o look_v unto_o the_o foundation_n of_o our_o doctrine_n which_o be_v christ_n but_o also_o to_o the_o manner_n of_o utterance_n because_o that_o also_o must_v be_v try_v and_o examine_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o gold_n silver_n etc_n etc_n be_v try_v by_o the_o fire_n therefore_o paul_n in_o great_a boldness_n and_o authority_n speak_v on_o this_o manner_n to_o the_o corinthian_a preacher_n 4.19_o but_o i_o will_v come_v to_o you_o short_o if_o the_o lord_n will_v and_o will_v know_v not_o the_o speech_n of_o they_o which_o be_v puff_v up_o but_o the_o power_n 20._o for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v not_o in_o word_n but_o in_o power_n whereby_o as_o he_o will_v condemn_v their_o speech_n and_o manner_n of_o utterance_n which_o delight_v the_o ear_n have_v no_o power_n or_o strength_n to_o weaken_v and_o unloose_v the_o hold_n of_o sin_n and_o satan_n in_o they_o so_o he_o will_v commend_v unto_o they_o that_o manner_n of_o utterance_n which_o shall_v least_o savour_n of_o carnal_a wisdom_n and_o have_v great_a power_n to_o turn_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o hearer_n unto_o god_n and_o as_o the_o apostle_n do_v say_v of_o himself_o that_o he_o use_v no_o such_o manner_n of_o teach_v neither_o any_o flatter_a word_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o thessalonian_n 2.5_o so_o he_o do_v most_o careful_o commend_v and_o bequeath_v it_o unto_o timothy_n and_o titus_n his_o two_o son_n in_o the_o faith_n 1.13_o and_o in_o they_o to_o all_o other_o minister_n as_o a_o faithful_a treasure_n for_o the_o edification_n of_o christ_n body_n forbid_v they_o to_o give_v heed_n unto_o fable_n &_o genealogy_n 4.7_o or_o to_o profane_v and_o old_a wife_n tale_n vain_a babble_n and_o opposition_n of_o science_n false_o so_o call_v and_o contrary_o command_v they_o to_o stay_v such_o thing_n to_o speak_v and_o exhort_v with_o all_o authority_n &_o to_o study_v to_o show_v themselves_o approve_v to_o god_n and_o workman_n that_o need_v not_o be_v ashamed_a and_o final_o to_o divide_v the_o word_n aright_o this_o kind_n of_o preach_v touch_v the_o utter_n of_o the_o word_n diligent_o observe_v of_o paul_n and_o faithful_o commit_v to_o his_o scholar_n aught_o with_o great_a care_n and_o diligence_n to_o be_v observe_v of_o all_o the_o minister_n of_o god_n that_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o hearer_n may_v stand_v in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o truth_n &_o not_o in_o the_o weakness_n of_o the_o swell_a word_n of_o man_n wisdom_n but_o alas_o who_o preach_v thus_o nay_o who_o do_v not_o judge_v this_o kind_n of_o preach_v to_o be_v void_a of_o learning_n discretion_n &_o wisdom_n wherefore_o many_o do_v stuff_n their_o sermon_n with_o new_a devise_a word_n and_o affect_v speech_n of_o vanity_n not_o be_v content_a with_o the_o word_n which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n teach_v many_o with_o unnecessary_a sentence_n proverb_n similitude_n and_o story_n collect_v out_o of_o the_o write_n of_o profane_a man_n many_o with_o curious_a affect_a figure_n with_o latin_a greek_a and_o hebrew_n sentence_n without_o any_o just_a occasion_n offer_v by_o their_o text_n with_o multitude_n of_o humane_a authority_n and_o diverse_a opinion_n of_o man_n in_o who_o there_o can_v be_v find_v neither_o certain_a rule_n of_o truth_n neither_o constancy_n in_o judgement_n and_o therefore_o very_o unfit_a to_o be_v admit_v into_o that_o place_n as_o speaker_n whereas_o the_o fearful_a &_o mighty_a voice_n of_o god_n have_v straight_o charge_v all_o people_n to_o hear_v his_o well-beloved_a son_n say_v this_o be_v my_o well-beloved_a son_n hear_v he_o many_o with_o stagelike_a gesture_n curious_a pronunciation_n and_o such_o other_o action_n that_o be_v very_o unseemly_a for_o those_o man_n which_o have_v take_v upon_o they_o before_o god_n and_o his_o angel_n to_o preach_v and_o publish_v unto_o his_o people_n the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n crucify_v i_o will_v to_o god_n that_o all_o the_o minister_n of_o this_o land_n in_o this_o point_n can_v put_v on_o this_o affection_n of_o s._n paul_n 2.2_o full_o to_o purpose_n with_o themselves_o to_o know_v nothing_o amongst_o their_o hearer_n save_v jesus_n christ_n and_o he_o crucify_v so_o we_o shall_v not_o only_o cast_v aside_o this_o vain_a corrupt_a &_o unprofitable_a manner_n of_o divide_v the_o word_n of_o truth_n but_o also_o banish_v out_o of_o our_o heart_n the_o desire_n of_o all_o such_o popular_a praise_n and_o

wholesome_a word_n which_o thou_o have_v hear_v of_o i_o in_o faith_n and_o love_v which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n 14_o that_o worthy_a thing_n which_o be_v commit_v to_o thou_o keep_v through_o

wholesome_a word_n which_o can_v be_v reprove_v this_o be_v that_o which_o though_o we_o allege_v in_o the_o last_o day_n for_o ourselves_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v dislike_v or_o reject_v but_o alas_o our_o kind_n and_o manner_n of_o preach_v whether_o we_o regard_v the_o utterance_n of_o speech_n or_o affection_n of_o our_o heart_n do_v far_o differ_v from_o this_o nay_o it_o be_v almost_o clean_o contrary_a to_o it_o for_o it_o give_v no_o life_n to_o those_o which_o be_v dead_a in_o sin_n it_o have_v no_o power_n to_o strike_v in_o sunder_o or_o to_o unloose_v the_o hold_n of_o sin_n no_o

neither_o can_v it_o discern_v between_o the_o thought_n and_o intentes_fw-la of_o the_o heart_n and_o why_o our_o word_n be_v of_o our_o own_o make_n and_o not_o such_o as_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n

neither_o any_o other_o which_o proceed_v not_o from_o the_o right_a manner_n of_o do_v the_o father_n will._n but_o in_o asmuch_o as_o the_o wicked_a one_o which_o bear_v the_o show_n of_o

be_v those_o gift_n which_o the_o wicked_a over_o and_o beside_o these_o may_v allege_v for_o themselves_o because_o they_o be_v common_a to_o they_o with_o the_o godly_a it_o be_v certain_a by_o the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n in_o the_o gospel_n of_o matthew_n mark_n &_o luke_n 8.11_o that_o the_o wicked_a may_v willing_o hear_v understand_v joyful_o receive_v &_o profess_v
