The equall vvayes of God tending to the rectifying of the crooked wayes of man. The passages whereof are briefly and clearly drawne from the sacred Scriptures. By T.H.

* 1.1CHAP. V. Mans perdition is of himselfe, and first by default of Rulers apostating from God: so as yet man dyes in and for his owne sins. Conclusions thence.

NOtwithstanding that God hath decreed a Sa∣viour in himselfe all sufficient for the saving of all mankinde: & taken a course on his own part in it selfe also sufficient; and appointed a course and or∣der on mans part, for the making the same effectu∣all: Yet it fals out, that many men attaine not salvation, but are seised on by Gods justice to con∣demnation.

Here observe. I. That seeing God hath not made us acquainted with his counsell concerning infants dying within the pale of the Church, and by the state of the land, and their parents intended to be presented to God, for the receiving the seales of his covenant in due time; or having recei∣ved the seales, die before ripe yeares; or com∣ming to ripe yeares are destitute of understand∣ing by defect in the senses, which bee the doores to let in understanding: or distemper or indisposition of the braine the work-house of understanding; if on mans part be done for them what man is able, & they capable of; Modestie injoines us to lay a∣side all curious disputes about them; and charitie to hope the best.

II. concerning children borne of parents out of the Church, and dying in infancie, or (when they

come to riper yeares) being destitute or under∣standing by defects above mentioned; whose pa∣rents either utterly despised the seales of Gods co∣venant, or abused them by superstition; seeing Gods word hath not revealed, whether and how farre his mercy may extend to such (considering his compassion to them in Niniveh, which could not discerne the right hand from the left,* 1.2 in for∣bearing their destruction, at least, temporall) we ought not (be it spoken with submission to better judgements) curiously to search into their estates, much lesse harshly and rashly to censure them: They stand or fall to their owne master.

Wherefore forbearing to comprehend these in the following discourse: Of the rest, many (I say as above) are seized on by Gods just judgement to condemnation; either by default, First, of Apostate rulers, whom they follow, as also their owne lusts and corruptions; Or Secondly, by de∣fault of the people themselves, who will not follow their godly rulers and teachers direction and in∣struction.

First,* 1.3 by default of the said Rulers supreme & subordinate,* 1.4 who are Gods Sheepheards & watch∣men. For if by their default in their places the people miscarry; the people die in their iniquitie, and God requires their blood at the sheepheards and watchmens hands.* 1.5 Thus Cain (before the flood) a principall father and ruler over his posteritie, not ruling them in Gods waies and feare, nor teaching them Gods worship aright, perished himselfe; and his posteritie obstinately walking in his steps, and in

very great part corrupting the children of God of the godly families,* 1.6 were drowned in the deluge, and are spirits in prison; such only excepted as died in the true faith.* 1.7

* 1.8Thus also (after the flood) Nimrod of Chams posteritie, with the fathers of many families and their people joining themselves to him, left the tents of Shem and his godly familie, and bandied themselves together for the making of a strange great apostasie from God. Whereupon they were scattered by divine Iustice over the earth, and left to walke in their owne waies. In which they walked till the time of Christ, albeit God many waies assured them, and wrought many wondrous and miraculous works to reclaime them.

For God made his people and worship (not only by the situation of the Israelites land, which was most obvious to all then habitable parts of the world: But also by many & admirable works done among them and for them) famous. As namely by Abrahams conquest,* 1.9 with a smal number of reli∣gious souldiers, over the conqueror Cedarlaomer, the most powerfull King in those times, and over the Kings of Shiner and Ellas: and over the King of the Nations, and their farre greater armie of wicked wretches. So that the dispersion being not yet into very remote parts; this must needs bee famously knowne.* 1.10 God miraculously destroy∣ed Sodome and Gomorrah. God first brought Ioseph an Hebrew,* 1.11 then his father Iacob and his familie into Aegypt, a place well knowne (before) for traffick: (then) for Ioseph, and for plenty by Gods

goodnesse and his providence. In so much that all nations came thither for relief,* 1.12 and found there the most godly familie in the world in high fa∣vour; and Ioseph a member thereof, next the King in honor; ruling the Princes after his will,* 1.13 & teach∣ing (why not as well forrainers hūbled by famine, as) Pharaohs Senators wisedome: doubtlesse that wisdome, Deut. 4. for the saving of their soules, as well as politicall for preserving their lives. After this God miraculously plagued a Pharaoh succeed∣ing,* 1.14 and finally drowned him and his host in the red sea; through which he led the Israelites as on dry land: doing all this (as doubtlesse the rest of his wondrous works) to shew his powerfull God head,* 1.15 and to make his name knowne through all the world. God wrought many and admirable miracles in the wildernesse; Gave Iosuah a miraculous victorie at Iericho: and over the Anakims, and the high wal∣led citties of Chanaan: Staid the suns course, &c. Not to insist upon each particular; God made Da∣vid and his worthies admirably victorious; made Solomon farre and neere renowned for his wisedome, honor, riches, the glorious temple, and skilfull navi∣gation. So that the Queene of Shebah came from the ends of the earth, invited thereto by his fame,* 1.16 to heare his wisedome.* 1.17 Yea all the world sought to see Solomon, and to heare the wisedome which God put in∣to his heart. God gave many and strange victories to other of the Kings: he gave recovery from a grievous and deadly disease, and a miraculous signe thereof to Hezekiah.

Moreover God preserved the three Princes, A∣nanias,

Azarias, and Mizael, in the fiery furnace. Whereupon Nebuchadnezar then Monarch of the world made a decree,* 1.18 that all nations tongues and lan∣guages should take notice of the true God, and of that wondrous work. God preserved Daniel in the Li∣ons den:* 1.19 whereupon Darius wrote to all nations & languages that dwell in the world, inioining in his do∣minions, that men should tremble and feare before the God of Daniel.* 1.20 Further God put it into Cyrus his heart, to make a proclamation of the great God, that gave him victorie over Babel: And that Gods people should returne out of his large dominions to build Ieru∣salem and the temple; and that they should be releeved with many and necessaries, from all parts where they dwelt.* 1.21 The great favour which Achasuerosh vouch∣safed the Iewes in his 127. provinces extending from India to Ethiopia, the downfall of Haman so highly esteemed; and free liberty granted them to be revenged of their enemies, could not but make the world to take especiall notice of them. By these and many other strange works of God for them, it must needs come to passe that diverse o∣thers of the Gentiles, as well as they which left re∣cords found by Artashaste,* 1.22 should understand the great might of Ierusalem and her Kings,* 1.23 and call (as the enemies of God did) their God the great God: And acknowledge that the Israelites were the only wise people and of understanding,* 1.24 and a great nation.* 1.25 And blesse the God of Israel, as did the Queen of Shebah. Notwithstāding all these things at several times the chief people of Asia, Europe & Africa, one after another, since their great Apostacy

with Nimrod, maliciously and obstinately bent themselves against God, and his people. As the wars with the Chananites, Amorites, Iebusites, &c. with the Edomites, Amalekites, Moabites, Ammo∣nites, Philistins, Midianites, Aramites, Assyrians, E∣thiopians, Chaldeans, Persians, Medes, Syrians, Egyp∣tians, &c. abundantly shew. Amongst which peo∣ple, as any one grew more populous and mighty than the rest, for the most part they fought against God, and walked in Nimrods idolatrous steps: or if they got any glimpse of light and knowledge, wic∣kedly turned it into fables and lies; And till the dayes of Christ, continued in unbeliefe, except some few.* 1.26 So that God dealt not with them as with the Iewes, neither had they knowledge of his lawes: such a Pearle was not to be cast to swine.* 1.27 The time of their ignorance (as Paul told at Athens, the place among them most of credit for knowledge) God regarded not: and Christ termed them dogs to whom the childrens bread was not to be given.* 1.28

Here I might adde the apostasie of Esau, and the Edomites, of Ismael and the Ismaelitess, &c. who falling away from God, mis-led their peo∣ple. Thus their people, all that continued in the same rebellion with them, dyed in their sin: and God required their sinnes at the Rulers hands, and at the hands of succeeding Rulers, persisting in the same obstinacie.

So that it is evident, that by default of apo∣state Rulers and subordinate, the people under them die in their sinnes, wilfully running on in the steps of their prime Governours, or in worse super∣stition

added by their Successors, for they would not leave the gods of their fathers,* 1.29 which are no gods; And so are without God in the world, adhere to wicked traditions,* 1.30 are by nature the children of wrath, are dead in sinnes and trespasses, walke therein according to the course of the world, and after the spirit that rules in the ayre or darknesse, even the spirit that worketh in the children of disobedience,* 1.31 and are suffered by God (who would not ever strive with thē) to walk in their own waies: professing them∣selves to be wise, became fooles perswading themselves that they see, are blinde. They said (as the revolted Iewes in Aegypt) we will doe whatsoever goeth out of our own mouthes:* 1.32 namely burne incense to the Queen of heaven, (to Molech, to Baal, to Dagon, &c. To Iupiter, to Mars, to Apollo, &c.) as we have done, both wee and our fathers, our Kings and our Princes.* 1.33 Thus their wisedome (being in truth folly) causes them to rebell: in this case God hides the true wisedome from the wise, such as be puft up with a pride of their owne wisdome.

* 1.34And though GOD had not left himselfe without witnesse; but by visible things shewed them his eter∣nall power and Godhead,* 1.35 and given them raine from heaven, and fruitfull seasons; filling their hearts with food and gladnesse: as also by the wondrous workes above mentioned; yet they, so farre as they knew God,* 1.36 worshipped him not as God, but became vaine in their imaginations, &c. and were without excuse; and so continued till after Christs death. At which time the partition wall was broken downe, and liber∣ty was granted to goe into the way of the Gentiles.

Before which time that wal did not so barre out the Gentiles,* 1.37 but that God left them a way to come into the Iewes Church, and divers particular per∣sons did returne, by Gods great mercy, to the true faith, drawne to it by such instruments and meanes as it pleased God to use. As namely the soules which Abraham got and converted at Cha∣ran, Eliezer of Damascus his Steward,* 1.38 all or a great part of his 318. souldiers: a great multitude of sun∣dry sorts of people that went out of Egypt with the Israelites: also Iethro a Midianite, Rahab a Chana∣nite, Ruth a Moabite, Naaman a Syrian, (as many thinke) &c. The strangers in the land called together by David at the fitting of stones for the Temple:* 1.39 all servants bought for money and circumcised: Stran∣gers at any time circumcised. In Achafuerosh his Provinces many of his people became Iewes.* 1.40 So that even in the great Apostasie of the Gentiles, and long continuance in the same, some there were, who by Gods great mercy returned to the true Church.

Besides this Apostasie at Babel,* 1.41 Ieroboam a∣mongst the people of God made watchman and sheep∣heard over the ten tribes, did fall off to Idolatry, & ill govern, & worse teach Israel. So that neither Iudahs example adhering to the true religion at Ierusa∣lem: nor the withering of his hand,* 1.42 when hee would have laid hold on Gods Prophet: nor other miracles then done; nor Ahijahs the Prophets message to him from God;* 1.43 nor that God had done for his vineyard (of which Israel was a part) what he could doe in planting, hedging, and dressing it, &c. could

reclaime him from his false worship, and mis-lea∣ding the people, the flocke committed to him.

In the sinnes of this Ieroboam the sonne of Ne∣bat, walked the Kings of Israel his successors: not∣withstanding that God sent Elias, and Elisha, and other Prophets to them, and by them wrought many miracles: notwithstanding that God often punished them by warres, rebellions, famine and o∣ther calamities:* 1.44 till at length God would no lon∣ger strive with them, but tooke away their hedge and wall,* 1.45 & suffered the Assyrians, then most powerful, to treade them down, to lay the Vineyard waste, to captive them to the Cities of the Medes, & parts adjoyning: where many perished, and onely such as were humbled by affliction, &c. were saved. In these parts they continued captives till the Medes and Persians became Monarchs of the world, and sent out of their Provinces, whosoever of that people would returne. After wich time they continued in the land under much affliction, till Christs in∣carnation. In this apostasie of Ieroboam and his successors, with their people, there were many persons among them which bowed not the knee to Baal:* 1.46 many that left and fell off from his Idolatry,* 1.47 to the true worship in Iudah.

When in the fulnesse of time Christ tooke our na∣ture upon him, preached the glad tidings of the Go∣spell, offered himselfe up to God a sacrifice in it selfe sufficient for all mankinde; commanded his Apo∣stles now to preach to all nations & baptise thē.* 1.48 Thē the Rulers of the Iewes apostate and mis-lead the people, who in great part held it reason suffici∣ent:

Doe any of the Rulers beleeve in him? and are perswaded to aske Barrabas and refuse Christ;* 1.49 cry∣ing, crucifie him, crucifie him; and his blood bee upon thē and their children. So that there is only a rem∣nant of them according to the election of grace, saved. The Lord of his abundant mercy in his good time call their posterity, who since that time till this day continue in their wilfull blindnesse, and ob∣stinate unbeliefe.

Vpon their rejection comes in the calling of the Gentiles: for effecting whereof,* 1.50 CHRIST by sending downe of the Holy Ghost in the apparition of fiery divided tongues, conferred on the Apostles and others the gift of speaking divers tongues; a thing most miraculous to religious men of all nati∣ons under heaven, who at that time were present at Ierusalem: whereby the glad tidings of the Go∣spell might with more speed and conveniency bee preached to all. To which end the Apostles, Paul and others travelled into Countries farre and neare, not danted with dangers and persecuti∣ons, which often befell them; converted many to the faith of Christ, and planted Churches in di∣vers parts of the world. So that it is written, Their sound went forth into all the earth,* 1.51 and their words unto the ends of the world. The miracle of tongues ceasing, the successors of the Apostles were to cherish the knowledge of tongues: and to preach the Gospell freely in the first plantati∣on of it; more seeking them, than theirs; where they spent their labours according to the Apostles ex∣ample.

* 1.52Notwithstanding this course taken by God, ac∣cording to the exceeding riches of his grace to us Gen∣tiles, upon the unbeliefe of the Iewes; which is a myste∣rie or secret, of which we must not bee ignorant: and when we see it effected,* 1.53 cry with S^t Paul, O the depth of the riches both of the wisdome and knowledge of God! how unsearcheable are his judgements (be∣fore towards the Gentiles, now towards the Iewes) and his wayes (of commanding the Cove∣nāt of peace in Christ to be now preached to all nations,* 1.54 and making it known that hereafter the Iewes shall obtaine mercy) past finding out!

Notwithstanding this course on Gods part taken for calling all nations. The Citie of Rome, which about the time of Christs birth was at the full height of her power,* 1.55 both then and since hath, and still doth chalenge rule over the Kings of the earth;* 1.56 and is the onely City famously knowne by her se∣ven hils, hath first by her Emperours (almost all wicked and persecutors) killed Christ, and cruelly afflicted and murdered Christians, and afterward (when the Emperours were mastered) by Popes pretending like Lambes to use the two hornes of spi∣rituall and temporall power,* 1.57 but indeed turned Wolfes, exceedingly abused and mis-lead their sheepe; let the studie of tongues decay for a long time, especially of the sacred tongues, in which Gods originall truth is written; locked up know∣ledge; commended ignorance to the people; sought not so much the peoples salvation, as honour, riches, soveraignty over all; making the people serve God by Images; pray without understanding in an un∣knowne

tongue, &c. and further became drunke with blood of the Saints,* 1.58 and with the blood of the Martyrs of Christ, &c. Thus by default of these wicked sheepheards their sheep perished in their sinnes. Yet evē at Rome there was a little flock of Christ in Pauls time famous through the whole world for their faith:* 1.59 who by the Almighty protection of God did propagate true religion, even under the worst and most tyrannous Emperors. And when Rome by the Popes pride advanced it selfe, and made the Kings of the earth,* 1.60 and their people drunke with the wine of her fornications; Gods people (as they are commanded) went out of her by disclaiming her doctrine and Idolatries, and dyed for the witnesse of Gods truth; lest they should partake of her sinnes, and receive of her plagues. And Princes have worthily begun to hate the Whore of this spirituall Babylon,* 1.61 to demolish the wals of Rome in their Dominions, or turne them to uses more for Gods glory.

Amidst the stirres and Idolatries of Rome, at length Mahomet arose, and the Turkes after him; they by sword and wicked and blas∣phemous doctrine mis-lead their people and vassals: so that by their default they and their people are in a damnable estate; except such as in their dominions retaine the knowledge and worship of Iesus Christ according to Gods truth.

Cōcerning the people most remote, as they of China, of Cathaia, of India East and West, especi∣ally of America, of Peru, and the rest of the parts orbis incogniti, (as it is called) of which little more than the ruder skirts are knowne unto our men;

seeing it is not well knowne, how long some of these parts have been peopled, seeing some hold it disputable whether Solomons fame and Naviga∣tion (to speake nothing of Gods other wondrous works) extended to all of them; & if but to some, then to which of them: and more especially, what Countries Ophir,* 1.62 Pervaim, & Tharshish are, whence his gold came in such abundance: as also how farre that speech will reach, of all the worlds seek∣ing to see Solomon, and of the gifts of all Kings and nations: which may perhaps extend to places ve∣ry farre distant, whence probably men might tra∣vell, seeing the Queene of Shebah a woman came so farre.

Seeing also that many will not easily grant, that in the Apostles and Primitive times, the sound of the Gospel extended even to these parts: and interpret Scriptures brought to prove this, diffe∣rently:* 1.63 Or that God might since then, by his mercifull Providence, send among them some light of the Gospell by other meanes, since the great in∣crease of navigation: and that our knowledge of their stories is small, as that we have not without uncertainty. Seeing these matters (I say) are not cleare and manifest unto us, it will not be amisse to forbeare defining any thing of them. But seeing wee know assuredly that GOD commanded the Gospel to be preached to all nations; and we finde that men of pharisaicall condition compasse sea and land with all earnestnesse to make Proselytes for Hel, it concernes all hearty Christians rather gloriously to spend labour and cost for the planting Gods re∣ligion

among them. to the advancement of Gods Kingdome and glory; then either peremptorily to determine, or (which is lesse) fruitlesly to travel, where we have no surer footing.

Forbearing therfore to enter into further deba∣ting of these last matters: from the former which are more manifest, & as by Gods word, so by the si∣tuation of the people and commerce with them better knowne unto us: it may be concluded.

I. That God (having at once decreed from e∣ternitie the meanes for converting man falne un∣to him: and seeing on whom they would not be effectuall, by default on mans part; and decreed their condemnatiō) in executiō of these decrees left not, nor passed by Cain, Nimrod, Ieroboam, &c. and their adherents, but upon their apostaste or malicious persecuting Gods truth, beyond their day or the set time of Gods striving with them; the knowledge of which time God hath reserved to himselfe for the most part.

II. That Apostate and maliciously persecuting Princes and their substitutes intrusted with a weigh∣tie businesse by God and the people, and ill mana∣ging the same, incur the heavy judgemēt of God by their owne sinnes: and by making others, or by giving occasion to others to sinne. When ei∣ther for profit or pleasure, as Cain, for a name as Nimrod, for envie as the Iewes; for ambition, and having no King but Caesar, no soveraigne Lord but the Pope; and other their sinnes, most of them from this roote: As the Emperors, and the Bishops of Rome (in cheif place after them) they reject or

persecute the true religion.

III. They that did or doe live under Rulers apostate from the true religion, or malicious∣ly persecuting the same, lost and doe lose the title to happinesse jointly by Adams fell, in whose loines they sinned: and by default of apostate and persecu∣ting rulers and ancestors, in whom they apostated & persecuted, and by actuall continuing together with their successors in the same apostasie, and resoluti∣on to persecute. For instance, the Grecians the posteritie of Iaphet fell in Adam: God providing a remedie for that fall by Christ promised: in Nimrod and his complices they apostated from the hope of that promise: At Christs death the Gospell of peace is commanded to be preached to all nations, and was taught and received in their countrey. Whosoever since then, or now hath or doth apostate from the true religion taught by Gods Apostles in Grecia, and joyne with the Turk or Pope in misbeleif and persecuting Gods truth, & hath or doth continue in the same apostasie, lose the title to happinesse. And so of other people also.

IIII. That God hath done at severall times many miraculous works, and inflicted on mankind most strange judgements &c. all very conspicuous, so that even among the apostate nations before Christ,* 1.64 Pharaoh confessed, that God was righteous, himselfe and his people sinfull: And others could not but acknowledge Gods power,* 1.65 and that he was the great God: That his Law is only wise: That no god could doe, as he did, &c. Besides, many nations

did use sacrifices and offerings, but without true knowledge; and superstitious: Yet in so do∣ing, acknowledged themselves sinners, and the goodnesse of a Deitie to them, &c. being able to say that we 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, are his offspring.* 1.66 Insomuch that they, when as they knew God, worshipped him not as God, but became vaine in their imaginations, were given up to their hearts lust, and are with∣out excuse.

V. That some particular persons falne in Adam; apostated from the promise of Christ in their an∣cestors, have beene called to the faith by Gods mi∣raculous works & judgements & such other meanes as it pleased God to use, and of his meere mercy sa∣ved; Such as Rahab, Ruth, and divers others a∣bove named. In like maner some now in the Tur∣kish Empire and Popish countries; who being vex∣ed (as holy Lot) with the abominations about thē practised, deplore these and their owne sins, be∣leeve the truth of God concerning redemption by Christ so far as it is revealed unto them, endeavor to lead an holy life accordingly, & meddle not with abuses, which they have no commission to amēd.

VI. That they that know not their masters will & doe things worthy of stripes,* 1.67 shall be beaten with few stripes. And that it shalbe easier for them at the day of judgment, then for those cities & places which have had the meanes of salvation more plentifully imparted to them. As appeares by Christs speech of Corazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum.* 1.68
