A81893	The great corruption of subtile self, discovered, and driven from it's lurking-places and starting-holes And the contrary grace, self-denyal commended, as an indispensably necessary requisite to the acceptable and successfull performance of all commanded-duties, and as notably fitting for taking up of the cross, and following Christ. In seven sermons. By master James Durham, late minister of the gospel in Glasgow.	Durham, James, 1622-1658.	1686 (1686)	Wing D2814; ESTC R231467	103,007	176

what_o it_o be_v in_o any_o other_o case_n in_o the_o world_n or_o three_o we_o may_v consider_v it_o as_o it_o look_v to_o our_o lord_n high_a indignation_n at_o the_o nature_n and_o kind_n of_o the_o tentation_n as_o be_v plaster_v over_o with_o fair_a word_n and_o specious_a show_n of_o respect_n to_o he_o which_o indignation_n be_v manifest_v by_o these_o very_a sharp_a word_n get_v thou_o behind_o i_o satan_n on_o which_o follow_v the_o exhortation_n then_o say_v he_o etc._n etc._n whence_o observe_v that_o there_o be_v no_o sort_n of_o sin_n and_o more_o especial_o no_o sort_n of_o selfishness_n that_o christ_n abhor_v more_o than_o that_o which_o be_v palliate_v with_o pretend_a respect_n to_o he_o albeit_o peter_n offer_v this_o advice_n to_o his_o master_n from_o some_o kind_n of_o respect_n to_o he_o yet_o we_o will_v not_o find_v a_o more_o severe_a check_n and_o sad_a rebuke_n give_v to_o he_o or_o to_o any_o other_o than_o that_o which_o he_o get_v here_o because_o selfishness_n be_v in_o his_o counsel_n and_o the_o profess_a respect_n be_v but_o carnal_a and_o bias_v wherein_o he_o prefer_v either_o his_o own_o or_o his_o master_n bodily_a welfare_n to_o the_o will_n and_o honour_n of_o god_n for_o clear_v the_o doctrine_n yet_o a_o little_a further_o you_o may_v take_v it_o up_o in_o these_o two_o branch_n 1._o that_o there_o be_v a_o selfishness_n even_o among_o christ_n disciple_n that_o come_v in_o and_o cover_v itself_o with_o the_o show_n of_o respect_n to_o christ_n 2_o that_o there_o be_v no_o selfishness_n more_o dangerous_a and_o more_o detest_a and_o abhor_v of_o god_n than_o this_o sort_n of_o selfishness_n i_o shall_v instance_n the_o subtlety_n and_o danger_n of_o this_o sin_n of_o selfishness_n shreud_v itself_o under_o pretend_a respect_n to_o christ_n short_o in_o some_o particular_n it_o come_v in_o one_o of_o two_o way_n either_o when_o man_n do_v that_o which_o be_v right_a as_o to_o the_o matter_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v but_o self_n that_o they_o be_v seek_v or_o when_o they_o do_v that_o which_o be_v wrong_a and_o yet_o they_o cover_v it_o with_o profess_a respect_n to_o god_n there_o be_v several_a kind_n of_o both_o first_o we_o may_v see_v it_o in_o thing_n lawful_a and_o first_o in_o these_o man_n will_v have_v a_o kind_n of_o zeal_n for_o god_n and_o yet_o be_v seek_v themselves_o as_o it_o be_v with_o jehu_n who_o boast_v that_o he_o be_v zealous_a for_o god_n and_o yet_o in_o truth_n it_o be_v most_o for_o the_o kingdom_n 2_o as_o selfishness_n vent_v itself_o under_o the_o pretence_n of_o zeal_n so_o under_o th●_n pretence_n of_o honour_v god_n when_o yet_o i●_n be_v only_o or_o main_o respect_v to_o man_n self_n tha●_n be_v seek_v after_o by_o that_o pretend_a respect_n to_o god_n what_o great_a respect_n can_v ready_o have_v be_v pu_o upon_o christ_n when_o so_o despise_v by_o the_o ruler_n than_o to_o offer_v to_o make_v he_o a_o king_n as_o the_o people_n do_v john_n 6._o and_o yet_o say_v he_o to_o they_o you_o seek_v i_o not_o because_o you_o see_v the_o miracle_n but_o because_o you_o do_v eat_v of_o the_o loaf_n and_o be_v fill_v that_o be_v you_o seek_v i_o not_o out_o of_o respect_n to_o i_o as_o god_n but_o because_o you_o conceive_v you_o will_v have_v a_o good_a life_n under_o i_o for_o you_o think_v if_o i_o be_v your_o king_n you_o will_v have_v a_o easy_a life_n of_o it_o and_o that_o you_o need_v not_o plough_v nor_o sow_v nor_o work_n otherways_o for_o your_o bread_n this_o be_v a_o subtle_a sort_n of_o self-seeking_a when_o man_n profess_v and_o pretend_v to_o seek_v to_o have_v christ_n great_a and_o yet_o in_o the_o meantime_n there_o main_a design_n be_v to_o make_v themselves_o great_a 3_o selfishness_n vent_v itself_o in_o follow_v that_o which_o be_v duty_n on_o the_o matter_n under_o the_o pretence_n of_o do_v it_o in_o obedience_n to_o a_o command_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o real_o the_o command_n that_o put_v on_o to_o it_o but_o self_n or_o selfish_a respect_n as_o the_o lord_n charge_v his_o profess_v people_n zach._n 7._o v._o 5_o 6._o when_o you_o do_v fast_o do_v you_o at_o all_o fast_o unto_o i_o do_v you_o not_o do_v it_o unto_o yourselves_o and_o matth._n 6._o v._n 5._o etc._n etc._n christ_n charge_v this_o on_o the_o pharisee_n that_o they_o give_v alm_n fast_v and_o make_v long-prayer_n as_o out_o of_o obedience_n to_o god_n command_v when_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n all_o be_v do_v to_o be_v see_v of_o man_n second_o selfishness_n come_v in_o and_o vent_v itself_o in_o thing_n unlawful_a by_o cover_v they_o with_o a_o profess_a respect_n to_o god_n honour_n as_o we_o see_v it_o be_v with_o saul_n 1_o sam._n 15._o who_o when_o he_o be_v challenge_v by_o samuel_n for_o spare_v the_o best_a of_o the_o cattle_n and_o sheep_n say_v these_o be_v to_o sacrifice_v unto_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n but_o say_v samuel_n v._o 22._o obedience_n be_v better_a than_o sacrifice_n and_o to_o hearken_v than_o the_o fat_a of_o ram_n for_o rebellion_n be_v as_o the_o sin_n of_o witchcraft_n and_o stubbornness_n as_o iniquity_n and_o idolatry_n there_o be_v nothing_o more_o abominable_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n than_o to_o shrewd_a a_o selfish_a end_n and_o design_n under_o the_o specious_a pretext_n of_o honour_v he_o but_o more_o of_o this_o afterward_o the_o first_o use_v of_o this_o serve_v for_o warning_n to_o take_v good_a heed_n to_o ourselves_o when_o thing_n look_v and_o promise_v fair_a we_o will_v try_v and_o examine_v well_o from_o what_o root_n they_o spring_v and_o on_o what_o bottom_n they_o stand_v for_o many_o thing_n fair_a in_o appearance_n may_v be_v rot_v and_o corrupt_a at_o the_o root_n and_o bottom_n many_o thing_n may_v look_v like_o respect_n to_o and_o zeal_n for_o god_n which_o yet_o he_o will_v reject_v and_o cast_v as_o proceed_v from_o no_o true_a zeal_n nor_o respect_n to_o he_o therefore_o in_o all_o thing_n but_o more_o especial_o in_o public_a matter_n do_v not_o think_v that_o the_o hone_n and_o plaster_v over_o of_o a_o thing_n with_o pretend_a respect_n to_o christ_n be_v enough_o to_o make_v it_o pass_v current_a as_o for_o instance_n among_o the_o man_n that_o have_v invade_v we_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n much_o talk_v of_o and_o cry_v up_o and_o they_o have_v indeed_o a_o fair_a outward_a show_n viz._n the_o interest_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o interest_n of_o his_o people_n and_o this_o they_o pretend_v to_o be_v the_o main_a design_n of_o their_o act_n that_o christ_n kingdom_n may_v be_v advance_v and_o that_o his_o people_n may_v be_v the_o only_a great_a man_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o only_a ruler_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o this_o once_o be_v pretend_v as_o the_o end_n and_o design_n they_o be_v apt_a to_o conclude_v that_o there_o be_v no_o mid_n or_o mean_v that_o can_v come_v ready_o wrong_a to_o compass_v it_o by_o but_o if_o we_o try_v this_o by_o the_o rule_n it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v that_o there_o be_v very_o little_a of_o christ_n honour_n or_o the_o true_a good_a of_o his_o people_n in_o the_o matter_n indeed_o when_o man_n keep_v themselves_o in_o their_o own_o station_n be_v find_v to_o have_v ability_n for_o and_o god_n call_v to_o rule_n and_o govern_v they_o be_v in_o that_o case_n to_o embrace_v that_o employment_n but_o while_o man_n pretend_v to_o exalt_v christ_n and_o the_o interest_n of_o his_o people_n take_v heed_n that_o it_o be_v not_o self-seeking_a or_o seek_v to_o make_v themselves_o great_a which_o be_v real_o their_o chief_a aim_n and_o that_o they_o may_v have_v a_o better_a life_n of_o it_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n as_o they_o be_v the_o people_n of_o god_n never_o lead_v they_o to_o seek_v after_o greatness_n in_o respect_n of_o earthly_a privilege_n and_o dignity_n therefore_o look_v well_o to_o your_o step_n and_o upon_o what_o principle_n and_o ground_n you_o move_v towards_o such_o a_o end_n and_o withal_o take_v heed_n that_o in_o prosecute_a this_o end_n you_o out-shoot_a not_o yourselves_o that_o you_o go_v not_o beyond_o your_o line_n and_o that_o you_o move_v not_o without_o your_o own_o sphere_n interest_n in_o christ_n and_o true_a respect_n to_o his_o interest_n will_v never_o prompt_v nor_o nor_o advise_v you_o to_o such_o exorbitant_a stretch_v nor_o warrant_v you_o in_o the_o breach_n of_o any_o of_o his_o rule_n the_o passion_n of_o man_n work_v not_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n the_o second_o use_v serve_v to_o be_v as_o a_o mark_n and_o evidence_n whereby_o we_o may_v try_v what_o sort_n of_o duty_n action_n and_o worship_n will_v stand_v before_o god_n none_o but_o such_o as_o be_v single_o for_o god_n
