desired Blessing from Heaven if we sincerely aim at the Publick Interests of Church and State. But if we merely seek our Selves That Iniquity will be our Ruin. Seek therefore the Peace of the Community and in it ye shall have Peace And as Evil Men who have heightned themselves by trampling upon the Laws do in the return of Things find those very Laws rising up against Them so Good Men in the Circulation of Benefits in a well-regulated State will find the Good they did the Publick return in some sort into their own Bosom Every Passenger meets with his Convenience in the Safety of the Vessel in which he Imbarqu'd after having apply'd himself to the preserving of it with all his Might and perhaps with the throwing out of his Goods during the time of a perillous Storm Oh that there were in us such an enlarged Heart that we might seek in the first place the Publick Good and then God in his due time would make us happy in a lasting Tranquillity after we had endured for a Season in Christian Manner the Embroylments of War. Under this Lord of Hosts and God of Peace let us humble our selves In this Protector of Kingdoms let us put our Trust.

Dom. Com. A SERMON AGAINST Self-Love c. Preached before the Honourable HOUSE of COMMONS On the 5th of Iune 1689. BEING THE FAST-DAY APPOINTED To implore the Blessing of Almighty God upon their MAJESTIES FORCES by Sea and Land and Success in the WAR now declared against the french-FRENCH-KING By THOMAS TENISON D.D. LONDON Printed for Richard Chiswell at the Rose and Crown in St. Paul's Church-Yard M DC LXXXIX A SERMON AGAINST Self-Love c. 2 TIM III. i and part of ii This know also That in the last Daies perillous times shall come For men shall be lovers of their own selves TWO great Evils have reigned among us by which Almighty God has been moved to heavy Displeasure The denial of his Existence by Atheists and the forbearance of a Profession of Piety by weak Believers who have not had enough of Christian Courage to bear the Shock of their insolent Mockeries insomuch that the very Form and Face of true Religion has sometimes disappeared and the worst kind of Hypocrisie has come upon the Stage the dissembling of Iniquity and the owning of Vices which have not been committed Hence Publick Fastings and Humiliations being open Testimonies of our Fear of God and our dependence upon him have been unfrequent notwithstanding so great and Pressing a Load of Guilt has laid upon us The Celebration therefore of the humble Solemnity of this Day on which we make a Publick Acknowledgment of the Divine Providence Justice and Long-Suffering Goodness and of our own Unworthiness to eat so much as of the Crumbs which his Liberality has every where scattered as it is our most bounden Duty so it is our most reasonable Service And a due sense of our former Neglects should mightily quicken us in our present Performance that it may not languish in mere Formality And for the Performance of this Duty the whole of it is not accomplished by a bewailing of Sin in general Neither will so short a space admit of an enumeration of every Sin and of a due reflection upon it I have therefore chosen out one Evil which seems to be the root of all the rest It is the Sin of inordinate Self-Love to which S. Paul attributes those Troubles and Miseries which make the World so uneasie a Place and to which we in particular may ascribe our own dissettlements This know That in the last daies perillous times shall come for Men shall be Lovers of their own selves In speaking to these Words four things may be considered I. What kind of Self-Love it is which Saint Paul do's here so severely censure II. By what manner of Influence Self-Love makes Times and Seasons become perillous III. What Times the Apostle means by the Last Daies and whence it is that Self-Love operates with such Successful Prevalence in those Daies as to render them The Evil Daies IV. What Reflections are fit to be made by us this Day upon occasion of this Argument in relation to our Age and to our selves and our present Affairs in order to that which all ought to Fast and Pray and labour for the stability of our Times and the Peace of Ierusalem My Method obliges me in the First Place To consider what kind of Self-Love S. Paul speaks against as the Fountain of Publick Mischief for there is a Self-Love which is a very Natural and a very useful Principle No Man ever yet hated his own Flesh No considering Man can be an Enemy to that concerning which he is convinced that it is upon the whole Matter his true Interest no Man without the loving of himself does either preserve or improve himself All Friends at distance of Place would be in perpetual Pain for one another if they did not under God place some part of their Security in this Thought that having a Principle of Self-Preservation in their Natures they would take some competent Care of themselves If Almighty God would not have suffered Men to love themselves be would not have moved them to their Duty by their personal Benefit and especially by so great a Recompence as is that of Life Eternal It would conduce to the Felicity of Men even in this World if they truly loved themselves for then they would not wast their Fortunes by an unaccountable profuseness nor destroy their Bodies by the extravagances of Rage and Luxury and Lust. Even the Mortifications and Self-denials prescribed by Religion are consistent with the Love of ourselves and move upon the Foot of it though not upon that alone for it turns to the greatest Profit of every Man when by losing the World he saves his Soul. The Self-Love here condemned by S. Paul is that narrow wicked Affection which either wholly or principally confines a Man to his seeming personal Good on Earth An Affection which either opposeth all Publick Good or at least all that Publick Good which comes in competition with Man's private Advantage For some will do a good Office when it costs them nothing and no Self-Ends are obstructed by the performance of it But others are so bound down to their own Ill-natured Selfishness that they will not move in the easiest Charities if by them they cannot serve a particular Turn Of such Lovers of themselves the Apostle gives a very ill Character in the Words that follow the Text. He says of them in the 2d Verse That they are covetous their Heart is like the Mouth of a devouring Gulf which sucks in all into it self with deep unsatiable desire He continues to mark them in the 3d. Verse as Persons without Natural Affection as People who have no Bowels for the miserable part of Mankind As such who rejoyce at a publick Wreck not considering the Loss of others nor the moving the dismal Circumstances of it but minding with their whole Intention the Profit which they may gather up for their inhuman selves He adds in the same Verse that they are Despisers of those who are Good. They vilisie Men of a Publick Spirit as so many simple Sheep who bear Fleeces for others and understand not how to keep themselves warm in their own soft and beloved Interests Now II. This strait and uncharitable Affection is of so malignant an Influence that where it prevails no Age can be Calm no Government Stable no Person Secure And that it is of such perillous consequence may be demonstrated on this manner God Who is Good and does good designed That whilst Man was here on Earth it should be competently well with him in case of his Obedience though he intended not to give him all his Portion in this Life He knew that Men could
