Christian souldier guided thereby ought to prepare himselfe to followe this high captaine For the better explication whereof I observed 1 That this rule was generall out of the first words And he said vnto all 2 That it was necessary as it is implyed in the condition if any man will come after me 3 That the rule it selfe consisted of 3. precepts let him deny himselfe take vp his crosse dayly and follow me You heard then that this rule was generall for that Christ delivered it vnto all yet to all not simply for the beast the Kings of the earth with their armies following this beast and fighting vnder his colours are no way to bee guided by this rule but to all with a restraint but to all the e Rev. 19.14 armies in heauen which the divine saw following him that sate vpon the white horse which howsoever they are called armies in heaven are notwithstanding men vpon the earth such are Godly Kings Princes Nobles worthie Captaines and Souldiers which with the materiall sword defend the Gospell such are zealous Ministers preachers of the truth which with the spiritual sword fight against Antichrist such are all blessed Christians walking before God in the places whereto they are called warring dayly against their proud enimies the flesh the world and the divell All which are said to be the armies in heaven albeit as yet they liue on earth in regard that their cause for which and the power by which they fight are both from HeaueÌ„ These ride vpon white horses and are cloathed in fine white linnen and pure these come strongly swiftly and chearefully to this battaile these are cloathed with sinceritie integritie and puritie of faith loue and other affections for all is pure white about them To these only and to all these doth this rule appertaine for he said vnto all if any man will come after me Out of this condition you haue also heard how necessary this rule is even so necessary that neither subiect nor prince neither people nor pastor neither souldier nor captaine how godly soever they seeme in mans eies can be fit to follow this highest Captaine except he be qualified according to this rule Let him deny himselfe and take vp his crosse dayly and follow me saith CHRIST Of the first two precepts I haue likewise already spoken now let vs consider the third And follow me Which words do leade me to speake 1 Of imitation or following in generall 2 Of following the best of such an imitation as beseemeth Christians Man by nature how strangely hee is giuen to following if I should hold my peace servants souldiers all inferiours would make it manifest servants will eye their masters souldiers their captaines inferiors their rulers be they good or be they bad get they honour or get they discredit come their profit or come their losse their liues will be insteed of lawes and that must bee holden for well done which is done after their example saith Siraches sonne Cap. 10. vers 2. Thus examples not lawes doe when lawes not examples should teach men to liue And so it was in former ages In regard whereof the divine Philosopher would by no meanes suffer Homers booke to bee read in his commonwealth because in them Gods Goddesses were fained to be such as no honestly minded man or woman would haue their sonnes or daughters like them Yea so it was from the beginning Eues eating the forbidden fruit was sufficient to make Adam doe the like Gen. 3.6 The younger sister wold make her father Lot drunken as well as the elder Genes 19.35 When Iudah was forward his brethren were ready to giue their consents to sell Ioseph to the Ishmeelites Gen. 37.27 Dead flies cause to stincke and putrifie the oyntment of the Apothecarie saith the Preacher Cap. 10. vers 1. Dead workes the workes of darknesse in the better sort doe cause to stinke and putrifie the towardly inclinations of the inferiours For if any man see thee which hast knowledge fit at table in the Idols temple shall not the conscience of him that is weake be boldned to eate those things which are sacrificed to Idols saith St Paule 1. Cor. 8.10 Thou that f Rom. 2.21 preachest a man should not steale doest thou steale Thou that shouldst punish adulterers and reproue swearers dost thou by thy oaths giue them example g Vers 22. dost thou commit adulterie Marvell not then if thy weake brother seeing thy knowledge become a swearer a theefe and an adulterer Thy life shall be his law Vpon consideration hereof a country man of ours hath added that we of all other people vnder heaven are most famous yea infamous too for our imitation For doe we not imitate h Rogers Ep to the followers of Christ A. 7. b. the Spanish in his braverie The French in his vanitie The Italian in his perfidie Yea we follow the Dutch in luxurie who heares not of it The Papists in idolatrie who knowes it not The Atheist in all impietie and impuritie of life why lament we not O come hither all yee that are any way either for birth or calling whether it be spirituall or temporall better then other men yea and all yee too which in the same respect are worse then others for here are lessons for you both to teach you to looke vnto your footings Is there old custome against you Respect it not for it will be foiled by a better custome Is the flesh against you Care not for it for that will be bridled by the heate of the spirit Is that old serpent Sathan against you Feare him not for he both at your prayers will fly and by your godly exercises will be made to runne away First therefore for those that are better then others wonder we may what the matter is or with what spirit they are led or what commeth into their minds that knowing their liues and examples to prevaile when laws cannot doe notwithstanding with such care and study seeke after vile and vanishing things and so seldome call their wits together to thinke of doing any good Is it not because they are perswaded that the LORD spareth the Cedar tree for his height the oke for his strength the poplar for his smoothnesse the Lawrell for his greenenesse O! then they are deceaued for from the Cedar that is in i 1. Kin. 4.33 Lebanon even to the Hysop that groweth out of the wall k Matth. 3.10 7.19 every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewen downe and cast into the fire Is it not because they partly thinke that God hideth his face from their sinnes seeth them not O! then they are deceaued for Samuel could tell Saul al that was in his heart 1.

haue vs turne vnto the Lord Ioel 2.13 His reason is the Lord is gratious mercifull slow to anger and of great kindnesse repenteth him of evill Never would any so complaine would he but beleeue the Lords answere to Sions complaint Esai 49.15 Can a woman forget her child and not haue compassion on the sonne of her wombe Bee that possible yet will I not forget thee saith the Lord. O all yee that thirst come to the waters of comfort bibite inebriamini let me vse the words to you although in another sense Ier. 25.27 bibite inebriamini drinke and drinke till your soules bee more then satisfied Call to remembrance how hee hath accepted the thiefe vpon the crosse confessing Matthew sitting at the receipt of custome the womaÌ„ washing his feet with her teares the Canaanitish womaÌ„ begging for her daughter the woman taken in adulterie the Publican standing a farre off the Disciple that denied him that other Disciple which persecuted him and his followers the wicked that crucified him call to remembrance these his mercies yea call to remembrance all other the tender mercies of the Lord which haue beene ever of olde and say whether such his liberalitie hath not perswaded you that He the Lord none but He since all worldly helps are vaine that He the Lord will lift you vp A third motiue to the same perswasion of no lesse weight then the two former then that of Gods presence the other of his liberalitie is his abilitie of which the schoolemen in generall teach thus That God is absolutely Almightie In this generall they all agree but when they come to scanne how God may be said to be thus Almightie they vary much Some say that God is therefore said to be Almightie because he is able to doe whatsoever he will doe These doe so tie Gods power to his will as if he were able to do nothing but what his wil is to doe But St. Austine was of another mind in Enchirid. c. 95. where he saith Deum multa posse quae tamen nolit nihil autem velle quod non possit God is able to doe many things which hee willeth not but willeth not any thing which he is not able to doe plainely shewing that Gods will power are not equall that his power is extended to more things then his will that those things which God is able to doe are more then those things which he willeth The Scriptures also doe confirme this difference of Gods will and power Thinkest thou saith Christ that I cannot pray now to my Father and he will giue me more theÌ„ twelue legions of Angels Mat. 26.53 Christ was able to aske his Father and his Father was able to giue him that host of Angels but neither would he aske nor his father giue God is able of these stones to raise vp children vnto Abraham saith our Saviour Mat. 3.9 He is able but will not God hath mercy on whom he will haue mercy and whom hee will hee hardneth saith the Apostle Roman 9.18 Is it not herehence plaine that God is able to haue mercy on all and is able to harden all but will not So true is it against the first opinion That God is not therefore said to be Almightie because he is able to doe whatsoever he will doe Others are of opinion that God is therefore saide too bee Almighty because he is absolutly simply able to do al things whatsoever may be spokeÌ„ or thought of If you shal aske theÌ„ whether God can sin their answer is he can but wil not if whether he caÌ„ suffer they say he can but will not if whether he caÌ„ lie they say he can but wil not But this opinion is as more wicked so more foolish then the former For to say that God is able to doe such things as are repugnant to his nature is as to say the fire is able to cause cold the Sun to make darknesse a bad tree to bring forth good fruit But S. Paule hath not feared to say that God cannot do some things 2. Timoth. 2.13 He saith If we beleeue not yet abideth he faithfull yet abideth God faithfull he cannot deny himselfe he saith not he will not deny himselfe but plainely he saith he cannot deny himselfe And why can he not deny himselfe The reason is set downe before because he is faithfull He is faithful non tam voluntate quam naturÃ the is naturally faithfull and therfore can he not deny himselfe I adde he is naturally living and therefore cannot die hee is naturally righteous and therefore cannot sinne he is naturally immutable and therefore cannot be changed hee is naturally God and therefore cannot be like man Quam mult a non potest omnipotens est Here is matter to wonder at God cannot do many things yet he is Almighty yea because he cannot do those many things therfore is he Almighty For could he die he were not Almighty could he ly he were not Almighty could he be deceived could he deceiue could he do wickedly he were not Almighty QuaÌ„ multa non potest Deus omnipotens est How many things is God not able to do and yet is Almighty saith S. Austine de Symbolo ad Catechumenos lib. 1. cap. 1. So true is it against this second opinion that God is not therefore said to bee Almighty because he is absolutely and simply able to doe all things whatsoever may be spoken or thought of But why theÌ„ is God said to be Almighty Out of that which is already delivered this proposition may be gathered God is therefore said to bee Almighty because he is able to do all such things as naturally in themselues and simply are not impossible with God The truth whereof as it might evidently appeare by particulars whereon I cannot now stand so also may it sufficiently be manifest if in generall only we will consider this Alablenesse of God I deny not but earthly man hard to beleeue the workes of God in mans eies vnprobable hath ever beene ready to demand How How can this or these things bee An Angell from heaven may tell Sarah of a sonne after it hath ceased to be with her after the manner of women but shee will laugh within her selfe but shee wil say what after I am waxen old and my Lord also Gen. 18.12 But what saith the Angell to her Shall any thing be hard to the LORD vers 14. God may promise a whole moneths meate to the children of Israel lusting after flesh but Moses will hardly beleeue it but Moses will say Six hundred thousand footmen are there among the people among whom I am and thou saiest I will giue them flesh to eate a moneth long Shall the sheepe the beenes be slaine for them to finde them Either shall all the fish of the Sea be gathered together for them to suffice them Num. 11.21 But what saith God to Moses Is the Lords hand shortned
