Let here an indifferent man fudge, whether that affection of the Papills be true, when they fay, that our doEìrinedellroycth good works; whereas it impofeth them vp- on filch penaltie,that he that hath them not to fhewe,hathnothing to do with the gracewhich bringeth faluation. 4. All that profelfe the Gofpel muff thus reafon from their prefent condition; We huevnder theGofpel, and maynot conuerfa profanely in theworld after the guileof theworld; we line under the light, and the night is pall veto vs, we maynot therefore line in darkenefhe,but walke as in the light, and as childrenof the day. Ofwhichkind ofreafoningwe want not exampleand prefidenr in the Scriptures,Rom.6.r4.Ye arenot vnder the law, but vndergnter: Let not notfrrne therefore raigne: Heb. I a. 16. Let there bee noneprofane . o Efate: why ?forye are not come ro the mount: that is,ye are not vnder the law, where is nothingbut a lowd voice ter- rible and dreadfull, but ye are called to a (+ill voice of Chrifl, and his A- po(lles,to newes of ioy and gladnes, &c. So fay with thy felte ; What, Thal I wall out my time in intemperance,in vnfauouriemerimenms,or ga- ming?

I am no fcholler in this fchoole, though I haue neuer fo oftenentred into it, if any of theft things, or of this qualifie flicke bymc. Secondly, note that where the Gofpel bringeth to any perfon faluati- on, there it looketh for returneof fomerecompence, and namely this, that it be entertained with ¡obrietie,righteosfneffe, and Sodlineffe, which 1 are the three graces whichgee hand in hand,and euerie one looking at another. Sebrierie keepeth the ovine houle , and moderateth themiedc at home ; Right eon;'neffe looketh forth, and giueth euerie man his duea- broad ; Pietie looketh vp veto God, and giueth himhis right. Sobrie- ticpreferueth, and is content with it owne elate and portion : Righte- oufncfre preferueth, and is content that other men enioy their efface and portion : Pietiepreferueth,and is willing that Gods part be referued ve- tohim. Againe, fobrietie muff gee before as a nurfe of the other two: for bee that dealeth not foberly, cannot desk iullly, but depriucth the Church, thecommon-wealth, and familyof their due. Rightcoufneffe without godlines is but Atheifme, and a bcautifull abhomination ; and pietie without righteoufnes, isbuthypocri1e:for how abfurd is it to be precife withman, and careleffehow wickedly we Beale withGod?Now as fobrietie the firfl is the nurceofthe two latter, fo picnic the lall is the 467 toh.n.;i.
