many of the Pharises and of the Sadduces come to his baptisme he said vnto them O progeny of Vipers who hath forewarned you to flie from the wrath to come Matth. 19. 16. Good Master what shall I doe that I may haue eternall life 17. And he said vnto him if thou wilt enter into life keepe the commaundements Mat. 23. 13. Woe vnto you Scribes and Pharisies hypocrites because ye shut vp the kingdome of heauen before men for yee your selues goe not in neither suffer ye those that are entring in 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to go in c. Vers. 33. O Serpents and progeny of Vipers how shall ye escape the damnation of hell But when the beginning of compunction doth appeare they are presently to be comforted with the Gospell IIII. Some are humbled Here we must very diligently consider whether their humiliation bee compleat and sound or but begun and but light or slight lest that hee or they receiuing comfort sooner than is meete should afterwards wax more hard like iron which being cast into the fornace becomes exceeding hard after that it is once cold Let thy proceeding bee after this manner with those that are humbled in part Let the Law bee propounded yet so discreetly tempered with the Gospell that being terrified with their sinnes and with the meditation of Gods iudgement they may together also at the same instant receiue solace by the Gospell Act. 8. 20. Then Peter said vnto him thy monie perish with thee because thou thinkest that the gift of God may be obtained by monie 21. Thou hast neither part nor fellowship in this busines for thine hart is not right in the sight of God 22. Repent therefore of this thy wickednes and pray God that if it be possible the cogitation of thine heart may bee remitted 23. For I see that thou art in the gall of bitternes and in the bond of iniquity Gen. 3. 9. And the Lord God cried vnto Adam and said vnto him where art thou And God said who hath shewed thee that thou art naked What hast thou eaten of the fruit of that tree of which I forbad thee to eat 13. And the Lord God said to the woman what is this which thou hast done And the woman said this Serpent hath seduced me and I haue eaten 15. Moreouer I will put enmitie betwixt thee and this woman and likewise betweene thy seede and her seede this shall breake thine head and thou shalt bruise his heele 2. Sam. 12. Nathan being sent from God by a parable which hee doth propound he recalleth Dauid to the conscience of his fact and pronounceth pardon to him being penitent The doctrine of faith and repentance and the comforts of the Gospell ought to be promulged and tendred to those that are fully humbled Luk. 4. 18. The Spirit of the Lord is vpon me therefore he hath annointed mee to preach glad tidings to the poore he hath sent me to heale the contrite in heart to preach deliuerance to the Captiues and to the blind the recouerie of their sight and to set at libertie those that were broken Act. 2. 37. When they heard these things they were pricked in heart and said vnto Peter and the rest of the Apostles Men and Brethren what shall wee doe 38. And Peter said vnto them Repent and bee baptised euerie one of you in the name of Iesus Christ for the remission of sinnes Matth. 9. 13. I came not to call the iust but sinners vnto repantance V. Some doe beleeue To these must be propounded 1. The Gospell of iustification sanctification and perseuerance 2. The law without the curse whereby they may be taught to bring forth fruites of new obedience beseeming repentance Rom. 8. 1. There is no condemnation to those that are in Christ Iesus 1. Tim. 1. 9. The law is not appointed for the righteous Let the Epistle of Paul to the Romans be the example 3. Howsoeuer the curse of the law is not to be vrged against the person that is righteous and holy in the sight of God yet it is to be vrged against the sinnes of the person which are remaining And as a father doth oftentimes set his yron rods that are appointed for the seruants before the eyes of his sonnes that they may be frayed so the meditation of the curse is to be stirred vp very often in the faithfull themselues left they should abuse the mercie of God to licencious liuing and that they may be more fully humbled For sanctification is but in part therefore that the remainders of sinne may bee abolished wee must alwaies begin with the meditation of the law and with the feeling of sinne and make an end in the Gospell VI. Some are fallen Those that are fallen are they which doe in part fall from the state of grace Falling is either in faith or in manners Falling in faith is either in the knowledge of the doctrine of the Gospell or in the apprehending of Christ. Falling in knowledge is a declining into error whether lighter or fundamentall Now vnto those that fall thus that doctrine which doth crosse their error is to be demonstrated and inculcated or beaten vpon them together with the doctrine of repentance and that with a brotherly affection Take for an example the Epistle of Paul to the Galatians 2. Tim. 2. 25. Instructing them with meekenes that are 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 contrarilie affected if God at any time will giue them repentance that they may know the trueth The fall which is in apprehending Christ is desperation For the restoring of those that doe despaire there are to be vsed a Triall and the Remedie The Triall or Search is either of the cause of the temptation or of their estate The triall of the Cause is made fitly by priuate confession Iam. 5. 17. Confesse your sinnes one to another and pray for one another that ye may be healed But lest that confession should bee made a kinde of racke or torture it must be limited with these prouisoes 1. It ought to be free and not compelled because saluation depends not vpon it 2. It must not be of all sinnes but of those onely which wring the conscience which vnlesse they doe reueale greater danger may hang ouer their heads 3. Let it chiefely be made to Pastours yet so as that we must know that it may be safely made to other faithfull men in the Church The Triall of their estate is whereby we make diligent inquirie whether they be vnder the law or vnder grace That this may manifestly appeare we must by asking of questions first draw out of them whether they be displeased with themselues because they haue displeased God that is to say whether they hate sinne as it is sinne which is the foundation of repentance vnto saluation Secondly we must demaund of them whether they haue or doe feele in their heart a desire to be reconciled with God which is the ground of a liuely faith When Triall is made
