And also a spirituall combate, betweene mans frailty and faith, in time of sicknesse.	Robertson, Bartholomew, fl. 1620.	1617 (1617)	STC 21098; ESTC S124839	19,045	98

both in life and death aduantage I desire to bee loosed and to bee with Christ which is the best of all Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord Euen so saith the spirit for they rest from their labours and their workes follow them Frailty But I shall perish and be as though I neuer had beene Faith Vnto my sheepe that heere my voyce I giue eternall life and they shall neuer perish neither shall any plucke them out of my hand My Father which gaue them mee is greater then all and none is able to take them out of my fathers hands I my father are one Frailty Yet dust I am and to dust I must returne Faith We shall be changed in a moment in the twinkling of an eye at the last Trumpet for the Trumpet shall blowe and the dead shall bee raised vp incorruptible and wee shall bee changed for this corruptible must put on incorruption and this mortall must put on immortalitie c. But we know this if our earth●y house of this Tabernacle be destroyed wee ●aue a building giuen of God that is a house ●ot made with hands but eternall in the hea●ens Therefore we sigh desiring to be clothed ●ith our house which is from heauen Frailty When I am gone I am gone and what hope is there after death Faith I know that my redeemer liueth and that hee shall stand the last vpon the earth and though after my skinne wormes destroy this body yet shall I see God in my flesh whom I my selfe shall see and my eyes shall behold and no other for me Frailty Satan frighteth me with my sinnes and layeth the greatnesse of them before me Faith But this is a true saying and worthy of all men to be receiued Iesus Christ came into the world to saue sinners whereof I am chiefe The blessed Apostle looked vpon himselfe as the greatest finner in the world and yet despaired not But saith for this cause hee was receiued to mercy That Iesus Christ should first shew on him all long suffering vnto the ensample of them which should in time to come beleeue on him vnto eternall life Frailty Sathan suggesteth that my repentance is too late Faith It is neuer too late that is sincer● and true the theese vpon the Crosse came very late yet to him was it graciously said This day shalt thou bee with mee in Paradice Not presuming therefore of mercy and continuing in sinne but truely lamenting what was past and leauing any further to offend wilfully I also will say in hope Lord remember me when thou commest into thy kingdome Frailty Yet God is iust and must needes punish my sin Faith That iustice is satisfied in the obedience of Christ and each penitent sinner may in comfort say If any man sinne we haue an aduocate with the Father Iesus Christ the righteous and he is the propitiation for our sinnes and not onely for our sinnes but for the sinnes of the whole world For two titles our Sauiour Christ hath to the kingdome of heauen the right of inheritance and the merit of his Passion The first belongeth to him the second he vouchsafeth to vs in his merit therefore our merit is not to be trusted in For as touching our merit remember Dauid Enter not into iudgement with thy seruant O Lord for in thy sight no flesh liuing shall be iustified When ye haue done all these things that are commanded you shall say we are vnprofitable seruants Wee haue done that which was once our dues to doe Behold he found no stedfastnesse in his scruants and laid folly vpon his Angels how much more in them that dwell in houses of clay whose foundation is in the dust yea the heauens are not cleare in his sight how much more is man adhominable and filthy which drinketh iniquity like water How may a man be iustified before God or how can he be cleane that is borne of a woman Behold he will giue no light to the Moone and the starres are vncleane in his sight How much more man a worme euen the sonne of man which is but a worme The Apostle againe When the bountifulnesse loue of God our Sauiour towards man appeared not by the workes of righteousnesse which wee had done but according to his mercy hee saued vs by the washing of the new birth and renewing of the holy Ghost which he shed on vs abundantly through Iesus Christ our Sauiour that wee being iustified by his grace should be heires according to the hope of eternall life Thus will faith euer finde comfort in the Word to answere frailty in any point whatsoeuer of feare and fright if it be sought out by carefull reading A Protestation in Sicknesse I Wrotched and woefull sinner yet redeemed with the precions bloud of Iesus Christ through his great loue not my merit protest before the all-séeing God that I doe heartily desire to die in the faith wherein it becommeth a true member of the true Church to end this life I beleeue and confesse all and euery part of the Christian Faith either expresly mentioned or truly comprised in the twelue Articles and generally I beleeue whatsoeuer a Christian man or woman ought to beleeue This immoueable and firme faith God assisting mee with his grace I shall hold as a strong and inuincible hold against all the suggestions and assaults of Satan Wherefore if either by his oppugning tyranny or my sickenesse raging fury I shall either speake doe or thinke any thing repugnant and contrary to this Now in this my better strength both of body and minde I disclaime it renounce it abhorre it and pray that it may not bee imputed vnto mee as any word worke or thought of mine but of Sathans malice and my sicknesse strength To my vttermost power I remit and forgiue vnto all persons all iniuries whatsoeuer at any time or in any sort done vnto mee and earnestly intreating them the like againe from them to mee in any faults or errours of mine vnto them and I humbly acknowledge with true woe of a grieued heart that to my God I haue not carried my selfe as I should my faults and offences my faults and transgressions are bitter vnto mee yet doe I not despaire but laying hold by the hand of my faith vpon my all powerfull and sweet Sauiour I humbly craue mercy with bowed knées of heart and soule before him I acknowledge his infinite goodnesse to mee many and infinite wayes and with heart and soule and all that is within me praise his holy Name I commend into his hands my spirit and though weake in body yet strong in him I say and cry Lord Iesus Lord Iesus receiue mee to thee Come Lord Iesus come quickly Amen Amen A Prayer in Sicknesse O Lord iust art thou and iust and true are all thy iudgements thy wayes are mercy and truth and there neuer was or shall be any end of thy goodnesse I humbly beséech thée to haue mercy vpon mee and
