preaching of the Cross is to them that perish foolishness but to us that are saved its the power of God 1 Cor. 1. 14 18. So also there are other appointments for decency and order in assemblings and observance of ordinances as to say men in praying or prophesying to have their head uncovered and women to have a covering on the head as likewise we find in the Scriptures plentiful directions to the use of reverend gestures as kneeling or standing in prayer to God Yet about these or such like things the Apostle saith We have no such custome nor in any of the Churches as from them to be contentious 1 Corinthians 11. 1 16. That in all things to be contended and earnestly striven for is onely the faith of the Gospel Jude 3. Phil. 1. 27. Gal. 2. 5. with Rom. 14. and 1 Cor. 8. and 9 in and 10. 23 23. So then to seek the Lord regularly or after the due order is in all our seeking chiefly to mind and be exercised in the great things of Gods law the things in which the Kingdome standeth yea even for our understanding and direction to the usefulness of the lighter matters as may be subservient to the greater They then sought him not after the due order that spent their ●eal and laid the stress of their Religion in multiplying Altars Sacrifices and Washings yea in lighter matters as Tything mint Annis Cummin and regarded not but neglected the great things of Gods law as judgement mercy and saith Matth. 23. 23. judgment and the love of God Luke 2. 42. For he desired mercy and not Sacrifice and the knowledge of God rather then Burnt offerings but they like men trasgressed the covenant Israel hath forgotten his maker and buildeth Temples Hosea 6. 5 6 7. chap. 8. 11 12 14. In lik manner were they irregular in all their seeking and worship of God who refusing Gods councel to run into his name in Christ as witnessed in the Law and Prophets as their rest and as the foundation and key of knowledge unto all precepts did esteem and look upon the great things of his law contained in that name witnessed as strange things to the precepts for their worship or as having no relation to them or influence upon them And so made the word of the Lord to themselves Precept upon Precept Line upon Line here a little and there a little c. Isa 28. 12 13 16. Hos 8. 12. with 1 Tim. 1. 5 6 7. 3 To seek the Lord regularly or in a right way and so after the due order is To seek him in the preparation and sanctification of his Sanctuary with the whole heart prepared engaged and devoted to him in the instruction encouragement and acknowledgement of his name as by his preventing and following grace therein bringing salvation they are taught moved and strengthned 1 In the light teaching and instruction of his name to look unto and seek him in Christ according to his will therein declared viz. for such things and in such manner as we are instructed by the Spirit in that testimony of Christ and Gods name in him for so he helpeth our infirmities thereby teaching and instructing us To seek with earnestness fervency and violence the Kingdome of God and his righteousness Those things which God hath certainly treasured up for us in Christ and promised to give unto us with him as wisdome in the knowledge of him strength to receive and abide in him And so all things pertaining to life and godliness through the knowledge of him these things to be sought in him with such earnestness fervency and holy boldness and confidence without wavering wrath or doubting as certainly knowing that God hath treasured them up in Christ for us and that he will freely give them with him to us and that it is his good and acceptable will that we should be made partakers of them in and through him for he made him that knew no sin to be sin for us that we might be made the righteousness of God in him and hath made the witnesses of his goodness through him especially his glorious Gospel his arm or power to save us to open our eyes and turn us from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God that also in turning we might through it receive the forgiveness of our sins and inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith that is in Jesus 2 Cor. 5. 21. Acts 5. 31. and 20. 32. and 26. 17 18. Therefore these things so to be sought in all our seekings 1 Tim. 2. 8. Jam. 1. 5 6. Prov. 2. 1 6. and 4 5 7. Matth. 7. 7 8. Ephes 1. 17 18 c. and 3. 13 17 c Psal 32. 6. And so with some degree of that earnestness and fervency of spirit to seek and beg of God such blessings of this life as by the light of his testimony we may know do most conduce unto life and godliness for ovr selves and others as the peace good and prosperity of Jerusalem Psalm 122. The preservation and encrease of a seed of faithfull labourers to serve him in the world that such may not fail from among men but more of them be raised up and thrust forth into his harvest Matth. 9. 37 38. In like manner the pardoning the iniquities and healing the diseases that procures such judgments as the cutting off such in the midst of their dayes or in the midst of their work and the healing and restoring such when there being so cut off is threatned these things may be sought and prayed for with more fervency and earnestness then other blessings pertaining to this life for as much as we know by the light of his testimony they tend more especially and directly to the promoting the things of Christ and so the good of others in the world And that therefore its Gods good and acceptable will ●o lade us wi●h such benefits and one of the special fruits of the mediation of Christ to preserve such and procure the continuance of them and a great judgement to have such so cut off and failing from us and such as to which he is not willingly provoked nor till by great iniquities and much stubborness in them and when so is yet ready to repent of the evils framed against us on our turning to him that smites yea ready to prepare our heart and to cause his ear to hear And the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much unto it See James 5. 13 16 c. with Isa 45. 11. Rom. 15. 30 31. Phil. 1. 19 24 27 and 2 25 28. So likewise for the saving or granting life of sparing unto such especially of our brethren in any peculiar sense as we see have sinned even to the procuring a speedy cutting off in their iniquities while yet we see it not finished unto death we are to seek and pray for sparing mercies for such with a degree of that earnestness and fervency fore-mentioned

The Lord our God made a Breach upon us for that we sought him not after the due Order THe text contains the sum of the instruction which David received from Gods chastise men in taking away Vzzah by a sudden stroke upon his touching the Ark and that which he gives as the reason of his calling the Priests and Levites to sanctifie themselves that they might bring up the Ark c. Wise men will hear the Rod and who hath appointed it and in such hearing shall see his name and have the instructions of it sealed home and opened to them in such corrections being so exercised by them Mich. 6. 9. Zeph. 3. 2 7. Jer. 2. 30. Heb. 12. 11. It s not patience under afflictions to be insensible of Gods hand and regardless of what it means but on the other hand a sign of great wickedness and hardness not to cry when he bindes us with the cords of his affliction not to be grieved and ashamed when he strikes us not to see and lay it to heart when his hand is lifted up especially in such judgements yea this that iniqui y that heaps up more wrath and procures farther strokes and greater judgements job 36. 13. Jer. 5. 3 6. Isa 26. 11. and 57. 1 Zeph. 3. 2. 5. I know it s too generally in high account with men even with many professing godliness it goes under the name of a great virtue and strength of faith and patience and a note of having much rejoycing in the Lord To pass under such liftings up of Gods hand without sense or rather instead of being humbled under them to pass over them lightly as if they felt nothing not wisely considering the Work of the Lord nor minding or attending to know the meaning of such voices But though with men this may go for a virtue and a note of great strength yet with God it s reputed as a note of great wickedness and hardness as we have seen Yea doubtless That rejoycing which is truly in the Lord and in which he is glori●●ed in and glorifie by us it hath in it always a true sense and acknowledgement of our own vileness and sins with a ●ea●iness to judge and take shame to our selves that so he may be therein justified in his sayings and rendred cleer equal and righteous in his judgements as Psal 51. 3 4. Hence Joshuah instructs Achan to give glory to God in confessing his sin like to which is Jeremies instruction and councel Jer. 13. 15. 18. Whence also confessing Gods name and confessing our sins knowing every one the Plague of his own heart are put one for another 1 Kings 8. 33. 35. with verses 38. 46. 48. The latter being in the former as also is signified 1 John 1. 7. 9. And so the patience and comfort of the Scriptures is such as in which the heart is exercised under and by the tryals and afflictions to a silent and digilent looking unto the Lord a quick apprehension of displeasure when testified falling down under it and awaking to search and try our wayes that we may understand the meaning of the voice even where yet we see it not That so we may not fail of the grace of God In the Text we have 1. An evil of punishment a heavy affliction and correction bewailed yet taken out of Gods hand The Lord our God hath made a Breach upon us 2. An evil of sin a wilfull iniquity neglect and disorder seen and acknowledged as found with them the Survivers and as being as on their parts the procuring cause of the judgement for that we sought him not after the due order In both parts it affords us much instruction suitable to our present occasion though there is some difference between the manner of the correction or
