A20736	Lectures on the XV. Psalme read in the cathedrall church of S. Paule, in London. Wherein besides many other very profitable and necessarie matters, the question of vsurie is plainely and fully decided. By George Dovvname, Doctor of Diuinitie.

man_n that_o there_o be_v less_o hope_n of_o a_o hypocrite_n than_o of_o a_o open_a sinner_n first_o because_o he_o sin_v against_o the_o light_n of_o his_o conscience_n second_o because_o by_o his_o outward_a show_n he_o blear_v the_o eye_n of_o man_n whereby_o he_o escape_v those_o admonition_n and_o reproof_n whereby_o the_o open_a sinner_n many_o time_n be_v reclaim_v and_o last_o because_o in_o his_o pride_n and_o self-love_n he_o post_v over_o all_o public_a reprehension_n and_o exhortation_n to_o the_o open_a sinner_n because_o he_o be_v assure_v that_o in_o the_o opinion_n of_o other_o they_o belong_v not_o unto_o he_o and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o our_o saviour_n christ_n say_v to_o the_o hypocritical_a scribe_n and_o pharisy_n 31._o that_o publican_n and_o harlot_n shall_v go_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n before_o they_o see_v therefore_o uprightness_n be_v a_o grace_n so_o excellent_a that_o it_o go_v under_o the_o name_n of_o perfection_n and_o be_v esteem_v as_o the_o beauty_n of_o christ_n spouse_n wherewith_o he_o be_v especial_o delight_v so_o profitable_a that_o to_o they_o which_o walk_v upright_o the_o lord_n deny_v nothing_o that_o be_v good_a but_o give_v they_o grace_n in_o this_o life_n and_o glory_n in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v and_o not_o only_o make_v they_o bless_v but_o their_o posterity_n also_o after_o they_o so_o necessary_a as_o that_o without_o it_o our_o best_a grace_n be_v counterfeit_v and_o our_o best_a worship_n of_o god_n hypocrisy_n and_o ourselves_o hypocrite_n who_o shall_v never_o see_v god_n but_o shall_v have_v our_o portion_n with_o hypocrite_n where_o be_v weep_v and_o gnash_n of_o tooth_n how_o do_v it_o behoove_v we_o to_o labour_v for_o this_o grace_n which_o be_v so_o excellent_a in_o itself_o so_o please_v unto_o god_n so_o profitable_a and_o necessary_a unto_o we_o and_o contrariwise_o to_o avoid_v the_o contrary_a sin_n of_o hypocrisy_n which_o be_v so_o odious_a unto_o god_n so_o foolish_a in_o itself_o and_o so_o pernicious_a unto_o we_o and_o to_o this_o purpose_n that_o we_o may_v come_v to_o the_o five_o and_o last_o thing_n let_v we_o observe_v these_o few_o rule_n 8._o first_o let_v we_o according_a to_o the_o example_n of_o david_n learn_v to_o set_v god_n always_o before_o our_o eye_n and_o ourselves_o in_o the_o sight_n and_o presence_n of_o god_n and_o to_o this_o end_n let_v we_o meditate_v evermore_o both_o of_o his_o omnipresence_n remember_v that_o he_o be_v always_o present_a with_o we_o in_o all_o place_n neither_o can_v we_o possible_o avoid_v his_o presence_n 7._o as_o the_o psalmist_n teach_v as_o also_o of_o his_o omniscience_n remember_v that_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v in_o every_o place_n behold_v the_o evil_a and_o the_o good_a 3._o and_o not_o only_o look_v unto_o the_o outward_a action_n and_o speech_n but_o also_o behold_v the_o inward_a affection_n of_o the_o heart_n 2._o and_o cogitation_n of_o the_o mind_n even_o before_o we_o conceive_v they_o that_o so_o we_o may_v learn_v to_o walk_v with_o our_o god_n approve_v ourselves_o unto_o he_o and_o so_o behave_v ourselves_o as_o those_o which_o have_v their_o conversation_n in_o the_o sight_n and_o presence_n of_o god_n who_o know_v not_o how_o decent_o and_o reverent_o we_o carry_v ourselves_o while_o we_o be_v in_o the_o sight_n and_o presence_n of_o our_o superior_n especial_o of_o our_o prince_n therefore_o senec_n a_o admonish_v his_o friend_n lucilius_n that_o he_o will_v set_v before_o he_o cato_n or_o laelius_n fin_n or_o some_o other_o grave_n and_o reverend_a man_n that_o he_o may_v live_v as_o in_o his_o sight_n for_o as_o he_o say_v magna_fw-la pars_fw-la peccatorum_fw-la tollitur_fw-la si_fw-la peccaturis_fw-la testis_fw-la assistat_fw-la a_o great_a part_n of_o our_o sin_n be_v take_v away_o if_o when_o we_o be_v about_o to_o sin_n there_o be_v a_o witness_n by_o us._n how_o much_o more_o will_v the_o presence_n of_o almighty_a god_n strike_v a_o reverence_n into_o we_o 27._o if_o we_o have_v the_o eye_n of_o moses_n the_o eye_n of_o faith_n whereby_o he_o see_v he_o that_o be_v invisible_a and_o be_v always_o present_a with_o we_o especial_o if_o we_o consider_v that_o the_o lord_n see_v not_o as_o man_n see_v for_o man_n look_v unto_o the_o outward_a appearance_n 7._o but_o the_o lord_n behold_v the_o heart_n and_o that_o not_o only_o the_o body_n of_o man_n but_o the_o soul_n also_o be_v manifest_a before_o he_o hell_n and_o destruction_n be_v before_o the_o lord_n 11._o how_o much_o more_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n by_o this_o argument_n david_n exhort_v solomon_n his_o son_n to_o uprightness_n 9_o 1._o chron._n 28._o and_o thou_o my_o son_n solomon_n say_v he_o know_v thou_o the_o god_n of_o thy_o father_n &_o serve_v he_o with_o a_o upright_o heart_n &_o with_o a_o willing_a mind_n for_o the_o lord_n search_v all_o heart_n and_o understand_v all_o the_o imagination_n of_o thought_n second_o to_o the_o meditation_n of_o his_o omnipresence_n and_o omniscience_n let_v we_o add_v the_o consideration_n of_o his_o omnisufficiencie_n remember_v as_o the_o prophet_n hanani_n say_v to_o asa_n that_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o lord_n behold_v all_o the_o earth_n 9_o to_o show_v himself_o strong_a with_o they_o that_o be_v of_o a_o upright_a heart_n towards_o he_o and_o that_o as_o solomon_n say_v 7._o he_o be_v a_o shield_n to_o they_o that_o walk_v upright_o and_o not_o that_o only_a 11._o but_o as_o david_n say_v he_o be_v the_o sun_n that_o be_v author_n of_o all_o comfortable_a blessing_n and_o a_o shield_n that_o be_v a_o preserver_n and_o protector_n from_o evil_n the_o lord_n will_v give_v grace_n and_o glory_n and_o no_o good_a thing_n will_v he_o withhold_v from_o they_o that_o walk_v upright_o and_o this_o be_v the_o argument_n which_o the_o lord_n use_v to_o move_v abraham_n to_o integrity_n 1._o gen._n 17._o i_o be_o god_n all-sufficient_a walk_v before_o i_o and_o be_v upright_o for_o assure_o if_o we_o do_v effectual_o call_v to_o mind_n god_n all-sufficiency_n we_o will_v never_o be_v so_o foolish_a as_o to_o play_v the_o hypocrite_n approve_v ourselves_o to_o man_n rather_o than_o to_o god_n see_v he_o be_v all-sufficient_a to_o crown_v we_o with_o blessing_n &_o to_o shield_v we_o from_o evil_a whereas_o man_n can_v neither_o do_v we_o good_a unless_o god_n be_v please_v to_o use_v they_o as_o his_o instrument_n whereby_o he_o will_v convey_v his_o blessing_n unto_o we_o neither_o can_v they_o do_v we_o harm_v unless_o god_n do_v use_v they_o as_o his_o rod_n whereby_o to_o correct_v us._n three_o to_o the_o former_a let_v we_o join_v a_o serious_a meditation_n of_o the_o last_o judgement_n namely_o that_o god_n all-sufficient_a who_o be_v every_o where_o present_a and_o be_v acquaint_v with_o all_o our_o secret_n 16._o shall_v one_o day_n judge_v the_o secret_n of_o man_n and_o will_v bring_v every_o work_n unto_o judgement_n with_o every_o secret_a thing_n 14._o whether_o it_o be_v good_a or_o evil_n let_v we_o therefore_o set_v god_n before_o our_o eye_n sit_v in_o judgement_n remember_v that_o we_o must_v all_o appear_v before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o christ_n 10._o that_o ●uery_n man_n may_v receive_v according_a to_o those_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v do_v in_o the_o body_n whether_o good_a or_o evil_a whether_o open_a or_o secret_a whether_o alone_o or_o with_o other_o whether_o in_o light_n or_o darkness_n by_o day_n or_o by_o night_n for_o darkness_n hide_v not_o from_o god_n 12._o but_o the_o night_n shine_v as_o the_o day_n the_o darkness_n and_o light_n be_v both_o alike_o let_v we_o not_o therefore_o content_v ourselves_o with_o a_o external_a profession_n of_o religion_n and_o outward_a show_n of_o virtue_n when_o as_o our_o heart_n be_v not_o upright_o within_o we_o but_o be_v possess_v with_o hypocrisy_n and_o abound_v with_o secret_a sin_n for_o a_o external_a profession_n sever_v from_o uprightness_n of_o heart_n shall_v no_o whit_n avail_v thou_o at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n for_o god_n shall_v judge_v the_o secret_n of_o man_n but_o it_o shall_v be_v very_o prejudicial_a unto_o thou_o increase_v thy_o horror_n and_o confusion_n for_o how_o shall_v thou_o be_v confound_v think_v thou_o who_o have_v make_v a_o profession_n of_o
