them youth of it self is prone to evil there is no need that yee should put them forward to it either by word or example Hitherto yee have heard of the corruption of youth which is the first point But it may bee said that that which is spoken of youth's corruption is to bee understood of those young persons that have not lived under the light of the Gospel but for us young men wee hope there is no such thing in us But hear what follow 's Propos 2. The waies even of godlie young men are no better then they should bee 1. See the text in hand in which it's past peradventure David had an eie to himself and spake of his own youth as needing redress or cleansing and then it follow 's that it was not right and streight as it should bee Psal 25.6 2. Mark that request of David which hee made to God Remember not the sins of my youth then it follow 's that even in his youth hee had sins which needed forgiveness 3. Consider that warning which St Paul gave to his scholar Timothie 2 Tim. 2.22 Flie the lusts of youth but that admonition had been in vain and to no purpose if hee had been obnoxious to no such things and yet saie's St Bernard well of this Timothie Give mee but one Timothie in these daies and if hee will eat gold hee shall have it So eminent an example hee was of mortification that St Paul was fain to take him off from the strictness of his cours giving him that advice 2 Tim. 5.23 Drink no longer water but take a little wine for thy stomacks sake and thine often infirmities If then so holie a young man as was Timothie was obnoxious to lusts what young man can bee free And this point is not to bee wondred at 1. Becaus even in God's dearest children there remain's natural corruption which in youth doth most shew it self affection then beeing grounded and strong and reason raw 2. Becaus the Divel is most studious and hath an especial affection to entrap this age as beeing that in which God require's especially to bee served Vse The consideration hereof serv's briefly to set a further edg upon the foregoing exhortations 1. Let those that have young ones committed to their trust bee thee more careful for them and watchful over them Let them not saie my children my servants are pious and godlie they trulie fear God and therefore I may bee the more assured of them that they will not miscarrie themselvs Yee may bee deceived in your judgment of them Hypocrisie is spun of a fine thread 2 Cor. 11. 2 Tim. 3.5 the divel can turn himself into an Angle of light They that have a form of godliness may denie the power of it Whatsoever therefore their shew's and pretenses are yet intermit not your care for them and watchfulness over them yea though they bee trulie pious and godlie yet they are sanctified but in part in the best there are remainders of corruption whence miscarriages are prone to issue And the divel is busie to assail them with his temptations and now it 's no wonder if they bee somtimes overborn by such an adversarie Though therefore they bee never so pious and godlie yet continue your care for them and bee watchful over them Though Timothie was so eminently pious yet St. Paul forbear's not to admonish him 2 Tim. 2.22 to flie the lusts of Youth 2. Let young men all young men bee exhorted to bee watchful and circumspect over themselvs and their waies Wax not secure upon this presumtion that God hath wrought the work of grace in you in truth as if therefore yee were safe-guarded against all misdemeanours for 1. Yee may bee deceived in the judgment of your selvs true grace hath its counterfeit yee may think yee have true faith when it 's but the stinking weed of presumtion and so for other graces and it 's a shrewd signe that it is so if upon this ground yee shall neglect your watch over your waies and if it bee so know that yee may and cannot but fall away totally and finally so that town and countrie shall ring of your apostasie and yee may becom unsavorie salt fit for the dunghil It was so with King Joash of Judah who for all his fair shew's all the daies of Jehoiada fell yet afterwards to idolatrie at the solicitation of his Princes 2 Chro. 24.2.4.17.18.2 Act. 8 13.18.19.23 and murdered Zachariah the son of Jehoiada It was so with Simon Magus who beleived and was baptized and yet afterwards offered to buie the gifts of the Holie Ghost and was affirmed of St. Peter to bee in the gall of bitterness and the bond of iniquitie Col. 4.14 It was so with Demas whom St. Paul reckoned among the Saints and yet afterwards the same Apostle complain's 2 Tim. 4.10 that hee had forsaken them and embraced this present world And so wee have seen it to bee with others whose Sun hath set at noon and their light ended in darkness and so it may bee with you for all your fair shew's and therefore bee not secure but look to your selvs 2. If yee finde the work of grace in your selvs in truth yet it 's but in part and there remain's corruption in you in part in the best there is flesh and spirit old and new man grace and corruption Gen. 25.21.23 as Iacob and Esau in the womb of Rebeccah struggling each with other bee not therefore secure but maintein your watch It 's here observable that to them in whom God hath wrought to will and to do Phil. 2.12.13 even of his own good pleasure the Apostle yet give 's advice to work out their salvation with fear and trembling Rom. 11.29 and no wonder for bee it granted that the gifts and calling of God are without repentance consequently that the work of grace beeing begun in truth yee are secured against total and final apostasie yet if yee look not the better to your selvs yee may fall fouly into scandalous sins and so may lose grace in som degrees and deprive your selvs for a time of the comforts of grace and dishonor God and shame your holie profession as manie have don which is no small inconvenience Oh therefore for the avoiding of it watch over your selvs according to the foregoing directions And finding anie miscarriage of which yee are guiltie lie not in it but by renewed repentance amend your waies But that follow 's Propos 3. Young men must cleans or redress their waies It 's clear in the Text for it 's here made the subject of David's question Wherewithal shall a young man cleans his waie And so it is here necessarily taken for granted And to this purpose is Solomon's advice Eccles 12.1 Remember now thy Creätor in the daies of thy youth And that of our blessed Saviour Mar. 10. Suffer little children to
