havock had it come upon us and found us sleeping then it had cut all our throats It had raged all the Land over with a rage reaching unto heaven as now in Ireland Blessed be God we know our friends now we see our enemies the Papists and Atheists all the World over It is not a Kingdome divided against it selfe but one Kingdome divided against another The Kingdome of CHRIST against the Kingdome of Antichrist And this Antichristian kingdom will rage as they can to their power to shed blood But The LORD hath them in His chaine and hath caused His people to set a watch over them and hath sent forth His Host against them There is this good in it now and it is a great good The enemies of the Church are in part manifest now they shall be more manifest anon So are her friends shee knowes now and can resolve her selfe in the question Who will rise up for mee against the evill doers or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity Psal 94. 16. The Church cannot forsake her confidence now in her GOD He that hath wrought HITHERTO will worke He that hath discovered the Adversary He that hath made their madnesse so manifest will goe on to doe yet more what will He do The Church can answer That which shall be best for her sons and daughters both for the time manner and meanes of doing it though all this they leave in their LORDS hand let Him work as He pleaseth if in the dark and His foot-steps are upon the waters and no print of them yet as Master Bradford said so saith the Church She will follow her LORD in the dark Though he seeme to goe by compasse by the bow as we call it yet Hee goes the straightest and neerest course to His GLORY carrying all levell thereunto The Church is marvailously contented with this That all works for her Lords Glory her spirit shall work after Him even the strength of her spirit in that way He goes though clouded and over-shadowed with da●knesse for she is confident This very way wherein she sees not the prints of all his foot-steps she sees very much tends most directly to her full comfort here and her glory hereafter The Church hath seene so much of God such sweet experiences so many providences so strange so wonderfull such commings-in of God unto her when in her Egypt in her wildernesse that she cannot distrust him now * Psal 22. 4. Our father 's trusted in thee What follows Thou didst deliver them They cryed unto thee and they were delivered Though we are full of changes yet God is the same to His Church for ever And to distrust now after all this were a provocation as was theirs by unbeliefe at the SLA even at the RED Sea The Church cannot question Gods love to her nor dare she question His Power Hee is GOD The King of His Church He reigneth in the midst of His enemies and then like Himself most gloriously He brought along Captivity upon His people for THEIR GOOD He hath Jer. 24 5. ordered our distractions so that they have beene for our good How so GOD will have it so and we need not ask a question when we see it to be so distractions for GOOD They have tended to union and joyning together the good with the good never faster the bad with the bad never closer like the scales of the Leviathan they stick together that they cannot be sundred Crosse spirits who will be opposite and spurne against the pricks for their hurt these shall be suffered and countenanced for the good of His people To make them more in love with Truth to contend for it more earnestly in a more orderly and unanimous way now that they see all the wicked all the Malignants of the world are bent and doe contend against them Then we must conclude All tends to advance GODS glory and His peoples good Their fears have wrought for GOOD it hath made them wait patiently for God it hath made their love more perfect their feare more refined their dependance more glorious their obedience more sincere and hearty their watch ten thousand times stronger against their adversaries and over themselves Blessed be GOD who hath done all this made their fears and disquietings to pull downe and spoile their owne strong-holds Nature and Sin and to build up and fortifie their impregnable Forts Love to God Feare of God Confidence in God Obedience unto God and Watchfulnesse in all To shut up all The Righteous wait patiently for God they love Him they feare Him they stay themselves upon Him they obey from the heart if their Obedience were not hearty their Trust were presumption they make their watch strong over themselves and against their adversaries Goe thou thy way now thou art in Gods way and doe likewise and be no longer sad if thou standest alone now and there be none that will take thee by the hand unlesse to thrust thee downe yet fear not Though an Host encamp about thee thou art in Gods way and upon His work fear not He will hold thee by His hand He wil be thy Arm every morning thy salvation also in the time of trouble Onely keep to your strong hold i. e. hold fast your confidence Let sinners in Zion be afraid fearfulnesse must surprise the Idolatrous Nation they have no God to look unto no chambers Esay 26. 20. to enter into while the indignation passeth over They are now like a tottering wall and a broken fence they are falling and dashing to pieces like a potters vessell The Lord sees their day is comming for they are very proud their rage riseth high and so many steps and degrees to their utter ruine and everlasting confusion As the righteous work out their salvation with feare and trembling so doe the wicked work out their destruction with joy and gladnesse over the ruines they have made in the world you can wait upon God you love Him you feare Him you trust in Him We have concluded Our father 's trusted in Thee they Psal 22. 4 5. trusted and Thou didst deliver them They cryed unto Thee and were delivered For the armes of the wicked shall be broken but Psal 37. 17.

soule is like the Rudder to the Ship it turnes about all the powers and faculties of the soule and all to God It lades and unlades all the goods there all for GODS glory it receives all in and gives all forth for that same great end so Love doth I have said all when I have said The Righteous love GOD. It formes every work they doe and nothing forms a man or his work so dexterously as Love doth Love to God Love to His Truth Love to His People Love to their peace This inflames mens mindes works them suddenly to great perfection facilitates the work makes it slide on Nay farther as one observes truly That all other Affections though they raise the minde yet they doe it by distorting and uncomelinesse of extasies or excesses but onely Love doth exalt the mind and nevert●elesse at the same instant doth settle and compose it So in all other excellencies though they advance Nature yet they are subject to excesse onely Charity admitteth no excesse The righteous love God I have said all Why but all will say as much No man in the world but wil Ob. say I love GOD he dares not nay he is ashamed to say otherwise True I will reply shortly to this and once for all for all will Answ say as much touching their feare too and their trust also c. As the Kingdome of God so the love of God is not in word but in power GOD doth know that is approves not the speech of them that say (a) 1 Cor. 4. 19 20. so but the power of them that doe so That love The Lord not in word but in deed We have all I verily beleeve it a kind of faint weak waterish love which indeed the Scripture calls an hatred when the creature hath the strength and as I may say the first-borne of our love and God the after-birth which is of no account with Him but counted as aforesaid The righteous people love God They see an excellencie in God a transeendent goodnesse As it was said of Peter and Iohn when they saw their boldnesse They tooke knowledge of them that they had Acts 4. 13. been with Iesus So doe we observe the Saints love to Christ We must take knowledge That the City of God doe know The Lord Christ they have and doe see His Goodnesse They are with Him by their graces of love and faith they converse with Him day and night Therefore they so love God even as they glorifie Him As (b) Rom. 1. 21. Exod. 15. 11. 1 Tim. 6. 15. GOD glorious in holinesse fearfull in praises doing wonders The onely Potentate The King of Kings and Lord of Lords They Love GOD as they are thankefull to Him as To GOD in Whom they live move and have their Being in Whose hands is their Time their Breath and all their wayes from Whom they have all things richly to enjoy to whom He communicates Himself so they glorifie Him so they are thankfull and so they love HIM with an exceeding love a love that commands in chiefe the great Centurion it commands all within and without to speak to doe to strive for God for so they love HIM with a predominate love which carryeth the soul on high And where this love of God rules there peace rules be the earth never so unquiet Get we this love rooted in our hearts it is the fittest of any thing to expell feare to keep downe the workings of it for it maintains and guards Reason and raiseth the soule above the world so as it can bid defiance to death and then to unreasonable men and devils too If I beare a true love to God stronger then death if so then I can beare any thing I can goe through fire and water all along before the face and nose of the adversaries if I am called to do it and feare nothing The love of GOD constraines me yea commands me and as the peace of Phil. 4. 7. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 God keeps and safeguards me also It keeps my heart and mind my soul and my spirit through Christ Iesus It keeps my understanding that there be no defilement there through the errors of wicked men It keeps my will that there be no perversenesse there not subdued and brought under It keeps my affections that they be cleane and holy that my hatred be to all iniquity and my love to righteousnesse for I love God how then should I think or doe thus and thus and so sin against him The love of God keeps me in perfect peace so far as that love is perfect in me If a man can resolve himself by the Spirit That God loves him That he is in Christ reconciled unto Him This is enough To dissolve the thickest cloud of feare overcasting the soule enough to take off the edge and blunt that eager and keene passion which so cuts and lanceth the spirits for then he can say also He loves GOD with a CHILD-like love as a child loves the father so as he can repose himselfe in his fathers lap or bosome in assured confidence He careth for him and then he can be as bold as Paul was and as well perswaded That neither death nor life nor Angels nor Principalities nor powers nor things present nor things to come nor height nor depth nor any other creature shall be able to separate us from the love of God (a) Rom. 8. 38 39. c. The work then of a Christian is to cleare this point for when that is done all is done he lives as a man in the upper Region of the world riding upon the high places of the earth above the winds Esav 58. 14. and stormes which infest and trouble us here below I remember I have read of one who being upon a tempestuous sea and his ship almost covered with waves and the passengers there almost dead with feare was not withstanding very cheerfull and comfortable calme and quiet in his mind rather inclined to sing then to mourne Being asked the reason of his settlement and so quiet repose of spirit answered thus My Father is the Pilot of the ship He is at the sterne holds the helme He loves me I love Him The winds and stormes fulfilling his word (b) Psal 148. 8 He bids them rise and they are up and so blustering then He chideth He rebuketh them then they fall and are still I know and am well perswaded Mat. 8. 26. whether stormes or calmes I shall get to my Heaven and in passage thither nothing shall doe me hurt every thing shall doe me good from His hand that loves * 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 c.

Require it which speaks comfort to the Righteous as it should terrors to the ungodly Now we will look over the Premises and conclude The Adversary is a Legion and more without number for multitudes without Reason for rage and cruelty Boundlesse in their malice bloody designs and mischievous Projects restlesse continually watching thereunto that I should have added for their sleepe is taken away unlesse they cause some to fall Prov. 4. 16. We conclude There is just cause of a just feare which makes the city stand upon their Watch-Tower gird on their Armour and when they have done all stand fast in the faith To maintain it and a good conscience To do this with all their strength and To do it continually praying and watching thereunto As Rome said once touching her Adversary Carthage shee would never forbeare to watch against Carthage till they saw that City quite demolished and laid even with the ground So this City will never forbeare to keepe watch and ward and her self in a Posture of Defence against Rome now and her vassals till she sees them as the Israelites saw the Egyptians dead before her upon the sands This City stands as much engaged to Watch and Pray too so they gird up their loynes as David did when Saul pursued him for The City may say as David did at that time my soul is among Lions I lye even among them that are set on fire Psal 57. 4. even the Sonnes of men whose Teeth are speares and arrowes and their tongue a sharpe Sword fiery Adversaries who sent and watched the house to kill him It was even so with the City as wee read in the title of the (d) Psal 5● Psalme Oh! great Reason of feare I mean such a feare as puts a man upon Duty To pray and watch too Why The Adversary as wee may remember did when time was watch and guard his Crosse that Abominable pile of images stocks and stones such despicable things much more will the wise in heart in tender compassion to their lives and just liberties keepe watch night and day over themselves and this great City where are so many thousand persons that cannot discerne between their Right hand and their Left and also much Cattel And so Blessed bee God they can sanctify The Lord God in their hearts and are ready alwayes to give an answer to every man that asketh them a Reason of their feare and hope also that is in them with meeknesse So wee have seen a just account given of our feare how just it is no Phancied thing but Reall and visible wee will see now what use GOD makes of this affection in the hearts of the Righteous And indeed it is very notable to observe the wisdom of God in planting His People there where they must look for disquietings And in Implanting in them such an affection as feare is When wee have observed this then I shall set downe the meanes how the Righteous have had power and been able to command over their feares deporting themselves calmly in such shaking times And this will make much for the setling our minds in our disquietments and so I shall bring it downe and make it usefull for the present time SECT II. The wisdome of God in planting His Church in the world not the place of their rest And in implanting in them This Affection of Feare The True use thereof The advantage His people get by it CHAP. I. This world no paradise The Church expects her heaven above her Purgatory here It is her Lords pleasure so and she is content and thankefull SEE What a place the Church lives in where she hath no rest nor must look for any They who were disquieted yesterday must look to be disquieted againe They that suffered must suffer and perhaps unto bloud Last yeeres were vexatious and troublous so are these the next following may be worse If better The Church will be very thankfull if much more troublous The Church hath counted the cost she cannot be deceived but she can be very thankfull too We see the Changes and Turnings in the world They who sate at rest as we doe two yeares agoe They sit as a widow now at five a clock all was peace for so I heard a Minister of their owne say and before sixe behold War and the terrours thereof on every side This world now answers to the Israelites Wildernesse once variety of feares and troubles here Our life is as a Checquer work interwoven with black and white here Good there Evill but the Evill takes up the greatest part Blessed be God that it is so else even His owne People would be much in love with the place where their Rest is not They would build Tabernacles here never think of removing hence If the cloud of feare and discontent did not sometimes overshadow them if there were not unsetled times we would settle on our lees if there were not a want when we are at the fullest we would be so full of earth that there would be no roome for heaven If we had no feare we should have no Care But we are still in feare for something is still wanting and we feare and are troubled lest that want should not be supplyed That want is supplyed and then wee are in more feare then before lest we come to be at a losse again To explaine this We have a full estate and health is wanting we have plenty of all things and health withall but now the feare is That the spoiler may come men skilfull to destroy and take away all goods life and all But suppose now we could be secure That none of this could happen to us our estates could be secured to us and our health too suppose it so for we may suppose impossible things then Abrahams (a) Gen. 15. ● feare troubles us we have not a child to inherit and then WHAT is all our fulnesse unto us We make but a What of all the rest of our enjoyments because a child is wanting for so that good man did though God be there as a portion Then A child is given us but what a feare there is lest the child be taken away againe why then if we would keep him we must sacrifice him That is true but that is a death too we cannot think of the withering of that Gourd such a thing as that was a child is quickly withered and so the goord withers and we dye That we feare is come upon us It grows up as a flower and is cut downe like the grasse And all this That Gods people may not fixe and fasten upon such reeds which if you leane and beare upon they break and pierce too And yet we will leane upon them we will be very glad of our gourds then The LORD knaps them asunder Jonah 4. 6. withers them and then we are troubled exceedingly In the last place suppose we have health and wealth and peace withall and children round

about our table yet there is a feare That we may be taken away in the midst of all our fulnesse What is our life We know what the Apostle answers and every day James 4. 14. saith as much It appeareth for a little time then vanisheth away A man is well to day and dead to morrow and this feare if there be not a hand over it to subdue it holds us in bondage all our life time Heb. 2. 15. But Blessed be God so He unbottomes His People drawing the heart to Himselfe If it were not for these feares Faith would have no mastery but so it is we are in such feares often and that is almost to be in death as often so in this our wildernesse and God beareth with our manners here weaneth His people Acts 13. 18. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 from drawing so hard at the breasts of the world Assureth them This is not the place of their rest but there remaineth a Rest to his people which shall last as long as Eternity is long for ever Therefore they may beare patiently their disquietings their changes here below for a moment a little a small (c) Esay 26. 20. 54. 7. moment quickly over and then they shall see evill no more (d) Zeph. 3. 15. Shortly they shall be above in the heaven of Heavens where all is peace for evermore And their disquietments and fears make them work more strongly after this place now so God makes all work for their good whereof in the close This here must be considered even CHAP. II. The wisdom of God in planting this affection of feare in His People BLessed be God wee are in feares often it is best for us so to be wee should surfeit every day of our sweets if the feare of loosing them did not allay the lussiousnesse of the same wee should bottome our selves too strongly upon our mountaine if wee were Confident wee are too consident it cannot be removed Dayly experience tells us so much therein That wee cannot stand fearelesse upon the strongest and best bottomed comfort that hath its bottome upon the earth And Blessed bee God for all this even for this affection of feare So also and that The Lord hath put a vanity and vexation into the Creature and feares many feare make us all pull up our feet and walke more warily feare feeds us with food Convenient So it clothes us feare is our watch keeper It is the most wakeing affection most serviceable of any if it doth Its office It is the house-porter the bodies Spiall and the soules too still keeping watch It is next to love the most Commanding affection our keeper and Truths keeper also It is the best King in the world the great or little for it keeps both tables I should speake more of it but I find my self prevented here in a Booke called The Childs portion Pag. 1●2 163. whereto I would referr the Reader if please him I would rather speake somewhat more touching the usefulnesse of this affection God sanctifying the same It makes the people of God to put no confidence at all in the flesh I meane by Flesh All things under the moone They cannot feare now the changes of things here below and vexation from them for they have been so used to it That which they feared from the creature so often came upon them That now they expect no stability in the creature at all but changes and troubles and vexations from it evermore They can now suffer the spoiling of their goods with joy They did indeed put some confidence in such things They thought such things to be a HIGH WALL a but it was and they see it now to be a meere conceit Prov. ●● ●● onely and no more They know now and they are fearlesse about it That the theefe and the robber breaks in upon these treasures every day therefore it is nor their treasure they account not of it so they have laid up their treasure in a safe place where they feare not the thiefe nor the moath and it is well they are so well instructed to discretion I remember a Story worth the noting of Paulinus Bishop of Nola he had abundance of wealth but no affection to it bags Aug. deciv De● lib. 1. c. 10.

The Goths a barbarous people almost as any we can see or heare of brake into that City Nola like so many Devils and did flee upon the prey flee presently upon all the Bishop had in this world and took it Cum ab cis ●eneretur si●● corde suo ut ab co postea cogno ●imus p●●cabatur Domine non excrucier propter aurum argentum ubi e●●m sunt omnia mea tu s●is ibid. c. into their possession and the Bishop prisoner also Now mark his Prayer for that was all the refuge he had now being in the hands of Robbers LORD GOD Let me not be greatly troubled for my silver and gold Thou knowest Lord it is not my Treasure That is laid up according to Thy Commands Who didst tell us long before That this would happen These barbarous people would break in upon us for our sinnes therefore Lord I was warned and laid up my Treasure as Thou hast charged me and as Thou knowest What a wise man was this Truly all his neighbours counted him so for though they were not so wise before-hand yet now they had learnt by sad experience (c) Si non praedente sapientia certe consequente experientia didicerunt an after-wisdome that comes too late That so they should have done too They should have laid up their Treasure where their Teacher did and charged his people so to doe For mark how it hapned to those after-wits They counted the wedge of gold their Treasure and all their care and feare was To secure that so they hid it in the ground The Robbers came they knew there was silver and gold both and they would have it and by torments the enemy forced the distressed Captives To tell where they had hid their treasure Nay the Adversaries cruelty was such That they tormented some poore wretches that had neither silver nor gold upon supposition that they had both and dissembled the having of it Other some the richest men amongst them were so hardy That they would die upon the rack rather then discover where their gold was and so they were admonished saith the Author by suffering such Si autem to●queri quam aurum prodere maluerunt admonendi crant qui tanta patiebantur pro auro quanta essent

It is notable The Lord useth these vile wretches as scullions To purge and whiten His vessells oppointed for honour Indeed the rod of the wicked may bee so heavy upon the back of The Righteous and may raise within them such a thick cloud that hee can hardly discerne a Fatherly love and Hand through it for there are strange apprehensions and tremblings within the heart when there is a cup of trembling in the hand But it will be faire weather anon The thick cloud shall bee dissolved and The FATHERS love will shine forth the clearer the thicker the cloud hath been The FATHERS love over-rules the Adversary binds him measureth out the effects of their fury and mallice orders all as Hee did that long captivity FOR THY (c) Jer. 24. 5. GOOD whom Hee loveth That is the comfort and the conclusion of this point for their Good whom Hee loveth And who make Him their feare CHAP. III. The Righteous feare God as God they that doe so cannot feare the creature THe Righteous feare GOD what then I have said all They feare GOD then they feare neither men nor Divells If wee observe wee meete with this expression often I FEARED what The Creature what hee could doe against me I was afraid of a Man and then hee deserted his Duty ran away from GOD and from himselfe Wee read againe I know not how often I feare GOD And then hee feares nothing hee goes on as bold as a lion the enemy is behind him a mountain of straits on each hand a sea of troubles before him yet he goes on with the more courage hee sets GOD before his eyes Whom hee serves Whom hee feares His Cause His Glory and goes on breaks through the straits as you will doe through a spiders web Hee feares God of whom should he be afraid He fears God he keeps himselfe from every evill work though he might commit it in secret (d) Levit. 19. 14 no eye upon him His Lords eye Which runs through the world (e) 2 Chron. 26. 9. That is upon him That awes him even to the observing his thoughts and bringing them into subjection and them most of all So he feares GOD And the Armies of men or Devils not so much as the wicked have feared an Army of flies Let (f) Esai 33. 14. sinners in ZION who seeme to maintain the established Religion with their mouth and persecute it with their hand let them be afraid fearfulnesse must surprise the Hypocrites those that professe one thing and doe another But this man feares God that is He walks righteously speaketh uprightly despiseth the ver 15. gaine of oppressions shaketh his hands from holding of bribes stoppeth his eare from hearing of bloud Oh how far is he from shedding of it shutteth his eye from seeing evill Reade on He shall dwell on high his defence shall be the munitions of rocks bread shall be ver 16. given him and his waters shall be sure And he is sure of all this for he fears GOD and all we reade before is but the result of that feare Why then Lions and Beares and Wolves and Foxes I meane for so the Scripture doth by these bloody and treacherous men these may be hungry and starved too they may feare famine The righteous who feare God they feare it not In famine Fides famem non metuit Hieron that is in every extremity they shall be provided for they shall have enough for they have God and he is All. I will contract Indeed and in truth the feare of GOD for it contains the whole Duty of man is excellent Now I know what All will say for I know their hearts and their language there by my owne I and every man will say for himself I feare GOD too that I do hee that feares not an oath that is too paticular he that feares not to sin before The Lord nay he that doth violence to the law and sheds blood to his power the Man that neither feareth God nor reverenceth man wil say I feare GOD too It is as commonly said as any thing in the world for every man sayes it as was said and answered before It is not considerable then what men say but what men doe not what they professe with the tongue but what they act with the hand They professe saith Paul that they feare GOD for they that know GOD feare Him but in works they deny Him being abominable Titus 1. 16. and disobedient and unto every good worke reprobate They walk cleane contrary to that man that feares God wee heard how he walketh and how he speaketh and yet they feare GOD. It is but a bare profession so with the mouth onely But observe what their case will be when their (b) Jer. 2. 24. month commeth and they must cast-out their sorrows they will be afraid then fear fulnesse will surprise them and heare them what they Esai 33. 14. say Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire Who among us shall dwell with the everlasting burnings And so much be spoken to my owne heart and to theirs who professe to feare GOD yet walk so notoriously contrary to what they doe professe We also who not perhaps so notoriously wicked yet are pretenders to this HOLY AFFECTION professing wee feare GOD when indeed it is not so we doe not feare Him in Power which appeares thus When danger presents its selfe where are we then Almost dead with feare which could not be if we feared GOD in Power When trouble shews it selfe we shake at it as at some new and strange thing never looked for nor feared till it come And these shaking fits declare That we whatsoever we say and pretend do not feare GOD feare will not be concealed no more then folly can when he that is affraid Eccles 10. 8. walketh by the way his wisdom faileth him and he saith to every one he is affraid And he can give a Reason for his feare which is this That hell is let loose now and Divels are broke-in amongst us in the shape and likenesse of men Grant it to be so as so it is yet the Righteous he that feareth God in Power feareth not that is he is notvoid of feare but he is above his feare he is as bold as a Lion for he feareth GOD how As God That cal●es and quieteth his spirit we do not as the Righteous do maintaine the feare of God Set up God ruling as chiefe over all Certaine it is They that feare God indeed as GOD do so do set Him up in their hearts and so ruling in the world They that feare the Creature do set the Creature above God
