yet we thinke we haue one shifte to escape this punishment which we perswade our selues will deliuer vs when all other helpes faile and that is this we will pray vnto GOD and hee will delyuer vs out of all aduersitie he hath promised hee will surely perfourme it Psal 50.15 And true it is God hath promysed to heare and delyuer all those which cal vpon him in their trouble for hee is nygh to all such as call vpon him Psal 145.18 so it be done in trueth But if wee will haue our prayers hearde there bee diuers things which we must obserue in prayer amonge which this is not the least Wee must take heede that wee be not despisers of his word For hee that doeth remoue his eare from hearing of the Lawe Pro. 28.9 his prayer shall be abhommable saith Solomon And this is a greeuous plague when we are not onely in Gods displeasure but also hee hath depriued vs of those helpes wherby we should againe be restored into his fauour Wel it is but thus much that Paule wil haue vs to learne in this point The Iewes had the worde preached amonge them but this did not prosit them because they regarded not to heare or followe the same If wee make this our owne case it is thus with vs We haue the word preached God be thanked for it and I pray God continue it as no doubt hee wil if our wickednesse do not compell him in iustice to take it from vs But if wee be despisers of his worde and that eyther wee bee not carefull to heare it or diligent to obey it This worde God wil take from vs and giue it to some other nation which wil bring forth fruite woorthy of the preaching of this word And not onely this but hee will punish vs either by the sworde of our enemies by hardnesse of heart by falling into heresies and false opinions against God or some way as shal seeme best vnto him And then al our shifts shal not helpe No if wee will say with the Iewes wee haue hearde the worde wee shall haue this answere It is nothing to heare vnlesse wee be obedient and faythfull Yet if we could saye Wee haue prophecyed in thy name and in thy name haue wee cast out deuilles and wrought myracles yet if this be not ioyned with fayth and obedience it hath but this rewarde Departe from me yee workers of iniquitie I know you not It foloweth in the xix verse and so forth to the end of the Chapter for I muste goe ouer it with speede But I demaund did not Israel know god c. Paul hath granted that Israel had the word and yet they were reiected because they contemned the same worde but this will not satisfie the Iewes but they wil yet haue an other fling at Paule and that is this Thou tellest vs say they that notwithstanding we had the word preached yet are we reiected iustlye because we heard not with fruite But tell vs this now Did not Israel know God Did not Israel heare profitably if thou wilt deny it Psal 76.1 and say Israel did not know Dauid wil conuince thee who saith God is known in Iuda his name is great in Israel but if thou wilt confesse that Israel did know god then how canst thou saye truely that we are cast off of God because hauing the word we brought not forth the fruites thereof And here they thinke they haue driuen Paule into a straite but Paul answereth this very wel in many words The summe of his answere is that there were a few in Israel which did he are with fruite and knew god and they were not reiected neyther doth the Apostle here speak of them But for the most parte the Iewes were wicked and rebellious despisers of god and his word and therfore were iustly cast off So then Paul doth answere thus the nations of the Iewes is now cut off by gods iustice that they should not be the visible Church of god as before but not euery perticular man cut off for god hath stil reserued vnto him self a number according to the electioÌ„ of grace which no doubt shal be saued I may not if I woulde nor I neede not if I myght to stand vpon the substance of this answere namely to shew how it is sayde that Israel is cut off and yet god hath his Church in Israel it hath beene handled at large in this Chapter already but will fall out more playne in the Chapter folowing as will well appeare in the next Lecture For the manner of his aunswere Paul fearing least by telling the reieciting of the Iewes he should growe in misliking and hatred with them will not answere in his own words but in the wordes of Moses Esay his first place is in Deut. 32. ver 21. second and thirde in the beeginning of the 65. Chapter of Esaye There bee diuerse thinges heerein to bee considered which I must but name Of the Gentiles hee sayeth first that they were not a nation or his nation doubt lesse they were a great people and such a people as had great authoritie large dominions great wealth And yet because they had not the knowledge seruice of God Moses saith they be not a people To teach vs what it is that chiefly is to be commended in cities townes countries it is not larg borders great dominions ample priuiledges much wealth and such like no these were in the heathen and yet Moses saith they were not a people or not Gods people Dauid doth coÌ„mend Sion not for the streÌ„gth therof Psal 15.1 or much people or great priuiledges which things were pleÌ„tiful in the citie but he doth coÌ„mende it because there was that tabernacle there men did asseÌ„ble theÌ„ selues to heare the law read expounded to do vnto god such seruice as he required I deny not but those things be good creacted for the great benefit of gods childreÌ„ but comparable to the hauing and vse of gods worde and therefore howsoeuer we do for these things our chiefe care must bee that we may inioy the vse of Gods lawe for without that wee are not worthie to bee counted the people of God And let this driue vs to be thankfull vnto God who hath bestowed vpon vs this benefite moste inestimable and hath denied it to other nations but I may not prosecute this Secondly hee sayth of the Gentiles that they were a foolishe nation doubtles the Iewes were neuer comparable to them in worldly wisdome their wit is wondered at euery where both for finding out what was good and ill in mans life For looking so neerely into the secrete workes of god for making of very exquisite lawes also for many other excellent things wherin they were very wise and yet because they had not the knowledge of God by his worde therefore doth Moses call them a foolish nation To teach vs not to stande too much vpon our wisdome if

A Godly zealous and learned Sermon vpon the 18.19.20.21 verses of the 10. Chap. to the Romaines Wherein is set foorth vnto vs the greate mercy of God in the calling of the Gentiles and his iust iudgement in the reiecting of the vnbeleeuing Iewes vs also if we with like obstinacie contemne his profered mercies By Frauncis Tayler Preacher of Gods word â§ Jmprinted at London by T.D. for Thomas Woodcocke 1583. Rom. 10. ver 18. BVt I demaund haue they not hearde No doubte their sounde went out through all the earth and their words into the endes of the world 19 But I demand did not Israel know God First Moses saith I will prouoke you to enuy by a natioÌ„ that is not my nation and by a foolishe nation will I anger you 20 And Esaias is bold and saith I was found of them that sought me not haue byn made manifest to them that asked not after me 21 And vnto Israel he saith all the day long haue I stretched foorth my hand vnto a disobedient and gainsaying people FRom the beginning of this Epistle but chiefly from the beginning of the 9. Chapter where the Apostle began to haÌ„dle Gods eternal predestination which is the first cause of our saluation we haue heard howe many wayes Paules aduersaries but chiefly the Iewes haue set themselues against him but aboue the rest the Iewes are greeued with that which Paule had written of the reieccing of the Iewes and calling of the Gentiles and to shewe that his doctrine heerein can not stande they examyne his last argument and thereout they gather as they thinke sufficient matter for them selues to prooue that they are not cast off from GOD nor the Gentiles chosen to bee Gods Church The last argument or reason which the Apostle hath vsed is from the beginning of the 13. verse it doth stand vpon certaine degrees and may bee layde foorth thus To serue God rightly is a testimonye of true faith to beleeue truly is a deelaration of an effectuall calling to bee called effectually doth well proue a certayne election but the Gentiles doe serue GOD aright and therefore they beleeue they beleeue and therefore are called they are called and therfore elected vnto saluation Now vppon this argument of Paule the Iewes do thinke to proue their owne election more certaine then the election of the GeÌ„tiles one thing they lay for theÌ„selues whereupon all these degrees see downe by Paule in part doe stand and which aboue the rest doth seame to be very manifest on their side and that is this that they haue had the woorde as if they shoulde saye vnto Paule Thou wilt proue the election of the Gentiles by that they haue faith the seruice of God calling to the knowledge and grace of GOD and thou doest tell vs that all those doe come by bearing the woorde preached and why then doest thou saye that the Iewes are reietted Haue they not hearde Yes Sir the Iewes had the lawe and the vse thereof aboue fifteene hundred yeeres before it was published to the Gentiles the Iewes had Prophetes to expounde the lawe vnto them and to plant in their heartes fayth in that Sauiour which was to come the GeÌ„tiles had no prophets vnles at a time some one were sent vnto them extraordinarily The Iewes had the sauiour of the worlde borue not onely among them but of their owne flesh he did preach among theÌ„ much more then among the Gentiles yea the disciples themselues did first preach vnto the Iewes were much more careful to make Christ knoweÌ„ vnto them then they were to make him knowen vnto the Gentiles For Christ himselfe being a minister of the circumcision Rom. 15.8 did at the first forbid his disciples to goe vnto the Gentiles Mat. 10.5 commanded them to goe to the lost sheepe of the house of Israel which were the Iewes which coÌ„mandement they did wel obserue and keepe Act. 13.46 as may appeare as well by that that Paule and Barnabas do confesse they were first sent vnto the Iewes and for that cause had first preached vnto them as also by that all the Apostlee at IerusaleÌ„ were grieuously offended with Peter for that he went and preached the word to Cornelius and his family which were Gentiles Act. 11.2 thinking indeede that Peter had done a thing vnlawfull and which might not possiblye stand with Gods will and lyking To bring now that which the Iewes do obiect against Paule into few wordes thus they say in effect Where God doth send his word to be preached there God hath a Church and people whom he will call to the knowledge of his will to faith in him and to his true seruice and obedience but God hath sent his worde to be preached to the Iewes more then to the Gentiles as is proued and therefore God hath his among the Iewes rather then among the Gentiles yea and wil be knowen beleeued on serued obeyed of the Iewes rather then of the Gentiles And this argument the Iewes thinke that Paule can by no meanes auoyd but either he must deny his owne words going before to be true or els he must needes saye the Iewes haue not heard and because they suppose he wil not deny his owne woordes therefore this is the only question they aske as the Apostle himselfe in their person doth set it downe Haue they not heard Thus then we see the occasion of this obiection of the Iewes against Paul wher upon it is grounded now let vs see Pauls auswere No doubt their sosid weÌ„t through all the earth and their wordes into the ends of the world These words are truely eited out of the Prophet Dauid Psal 19. ver 3. The wordes are two wayes to be considered First in what sense the Prophet Dauid did speake them and secondly to what end the Apostle Paule doth cite them 1 For the Prophet Dauid he going about to moue the people to a deep consideration of Gods benefits that thereby they might the better promote gods glory doth set before them the workmanship of that heauens and the world and doth cell them that the line square or proportion thereof doth set foorth vnto them the woorthines of the Creator for as much as this proportion frame is seene of all men therefore it ought to stirre vp all men to a greater setting forwarde of Gods glory this frame proportion the Grecians call a sound because the excellencie of so greate a woorke doeth preach and as it were speake in the eares of all men the knowledge of God to the better setting foorth of Gods prayse and glory So then the woordes of Dauid tell vs thus much that GOD hath set foorth the certayne gouernment preseruation and order of all the worlde to all men Iewes and Gentiles whatsoeuer to the end that in these thinges God may be knowen and glorified according to his will as for example The erection of these thinges doth teache
