saued The church papist turneth in shewe but not in trueth and therefore shal haue his portion vvith hypocrites except he turne againe The Libertine saith he turneth in hart but not in act in words but not in workes but because he bringeth not foorth the fruites of repentance he shal be cut downe if in time he turneth not againe The Barbarians turned from Scylla to Charabdis from one extremity to another for one while they called Paul a murtherer another while a God Our Brownists also once accoūted highly of Gods ministers now they call them murtherers false prophets once they thought our church to be the onely church but novv no church but I hope tha● some of them wil turn again and all that belong vnto God shall one day turne againe and my harty desire is that all might turne againe Some turne from poperie to atheisme from one sin to another but to God they cannot turn except by true repentance they turne againe Some turne as dogs doe that is eitheir to their vomit againe or els to snatch at them which bring them meat I would to God I could deuise a vvay to make vsurers turn againe but I feare me I shall not for they vvhich cā cousin al lavves vvil be no doubt too cunning for me Vsurie is a deuil that all the disciples of Christ in England cannot cast out for it is a kinde that wil not be cast out but by fasting and prayer We read that there was a man possessed with a deuill called legion he kept amōgst the graues and no man could passe quietlie by him I thinke vsurers also are possessed with the same deuil for no man can passe without his markes The father crieth Oh my sonne is vndone by the ●surer the sōne crieth oh the vsurer hath eaten vp my father and euery one that cōmeth that vvay vvher this same deuil keepeth cryeth God keep me from the vsurers hands No statutes nor lavves can tame vsury for he hath so many turnings turnagaines that a man cannot tel vvher to finde him He is in money in vvares in buying and selling for readie money for time in borowing lending by himselfe and by his brokers the deuils hun●smen And this is certain vsurie is growen so strong that it hath sinewes and bones like a man walketh vp and dovvn the streetes like a seruingman like a gentleman like a marchantman I hope no man may iustly say like an Alderman god forbid But this I am sure of it walketh so stoutly that it taketh the vva● of all honestic religiō These turners are like the deuill that vvhen he vvas out of the man vvoulde needes be in the svvine but vvhersoeuer they be they wil be doing of smal good But these turners vvil neuer turne into heauen except they turn again My brethren in many things vve sinne all and therfore let vs at all times turne againe vvith mourning and vveeping and renting our hearts and let vs take heed that vve condēne not al that are not yet turned againe no● turne so fast as others doe for if they belong vnto God they shall be at the last turned againe and far goeth he that neuer turneth againe In euery turning againe there is ter●●●● a 〈◊〉 terminus ad quem that is the thing from vvhich the thing vnto vvhich vve must turne Paul shevveth vs that vve must turne from idols to the liuing God And Ieremie in the first words of the text sheweth that we must turne from disobedience to true obedience for the reprouing of the one is the approuing of the other and the forbidding of the one is the commaunding of the other And no maruel for disobedience is as the sinne of vvitchcraft but obedience is better then sacrifice And to say the trueth they are truly turned vnto God that are truely obedient to the vvord of God and they are indeed disobedient persons vvhich disobey the word of God And therfore let vs make what shew of holines we can if we obey not the word in all that concerne vs we are vnholy Let vs pretend what lets we list if we obey not the worde we are no true cōuerts The word of God forbids vs to follow the fashions of the world it forbids men to weare long haire and wo men to lay out their haire and both men and womē to disguise themselues with strange attire now if wee shall practise the contrarie we turne from God not vnto God The Lorde in his worde forbiddeth all lying and false dealing to deceiue and all deceit to liue if any mā in his shop or elswhere shall vse both they may wel heare the word but God wil know them from obedient children And so we are to examine our selues for euerything for the wickedest man that liueth may heare the word gladly reuerence the preacher and in many things obey the word So did Herod but hee would still haue his brothers wife so many wil loue one sin or other as their darling And truely the deuil wil draw a man to hel with one bayt as well as with a thousand Gods children therfore must striue against all sinne and in euery thing obey the vvord of God both vvillingly and gladly or els as God allowed the good things euer had somewhat to say for the euil he found in the seuen churches of Asia so vvil God reckō with vs for all our sinnes both of omission commission although he find some yea many good things amongst vs. Many vnder pretence of obedience to princes would geue entertainment to any religion forgetting that God must be obeyed before man but these men are disobedient to all especially to the king of al kings but truely obedient to none Many againe at this day amongst vs cry nothing but obedience obedience as though they vvere compounded of obedience but soft all is not golde that shineth flattering Iudas is not the faithfullest disciple But how shall vve know them Ex vnguibus leonem ex fructibus ar borem The lion by his clawes and the tree by his fruite The Lord saith Come often to my table the lavv saith thrise a yeare at the least We allow both vve obey both some wil obey neither of both yet they crie obedience and cal vs disobedient but vvhen wil these disobediēt persons turne againe The Lorde saith Let prayers and supplications be made for kings and princes and for al men we haue a morning exercise vvhere vve are faithfully taught our duetie both to God and her Maiestie vvhere prayers be made for the Queene realme and all other christian princes for magistrates and ministers and the commonaltie for our souldiers abroad for our neighbors at home for the prosperous succes of her Maiesties affaires and for the good 〈◊〉 cesse of the gospel for the distressed for the
