As is the song of the Civill Magistrate; such must also be the song of the Spiritual magistrate, which is the Minister. It must be a song bipartite: of mercy and iudgement. Mercy, in applying the sweet promises of the Gospel: & iudgement, in delivering the feareful threats of the Law. A thing, not obscurely signified vnto vs in those Linguae dispertitae, or cloven tongues, wherein the holy Ghost appeared to the Apostles, Act. 2. Cloven tongues, to teach them, that their song must be both of mercy & iudgement. Not alwaies of mercy, for feare of presumption; nor yet alwaies of iudgement, for feare of desperation: but of mercy and iudgement both; for thats good discretion: because either of them without the other, is like a good medicine ill applyed, which rather hurts, than helps the wound. |
As is the song of the Civil Magistrate; such must also be the song of the Spiritual magistrate, which is the Minister. It must be a song bipartite: of mercy and judgement. Mercy, in applying the sweet promises of the Gospel: & judgement, in delivering the fearful Treats of the Law. A thing, not obscurely signified unto us in those Linguae dispertitae, or cloven tongues, wherein the holy Ghost appeared to the Apostles, Act. 2. Cloven tongues, to teach them, that their song must be both of mercy & judgement. Not always of mercy, for Fear of presumption; nor yet always of judgement, for Fear of desperation: but of mercy and judgement both; for thats good discretion: Because either of them without the other, is like a good medicine ill applied, which rather hurts, than helps the wound. |
