10. This is Iustification, so full, so publique, so vnquestionable, so heauenly, of that religious wisdome, we adhere vnto, that faith cannot finde a surer anchor, whereon to depend; hope, a firmer footing whereon to fasten; Charity, readier wings to mount her aboue all earthly machinations, and worldly stratagems. So that here wee may well come in, with that, which the Apostle cites out of the Prophet; Where is the wise? Where is the Scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Will their wisdome, or scribbling, or disputing iustifie their owne actions, when they shall be brought to an impartiall scanning? How will Esaus wisdome bee iustified, that parted with his birthright, for a messe of red pottage? or Balaams, that would hold with Balak, to curse Gods people, though his Asse might haue minded him, that he ranne a desperate way? or Gehazy's that by his cheating and lying, purchased to him and his heires, a lineall leprosie? Amongst the manifold enormities in the Prophet Isaiah's time, there be three especially hee complaines of, which the Actors in them notwithstanding, held for no small peece of their wisedome, and Politiques: The first, is to make a man an offender for a word. The second, to lay a snare for him, that reproueth in the gate. And last, to turne aside the iust, for a thing of naught. |
10. This is Justification, so full, so public, so unquestionable, so heavenly, of that religious Wisdom, we adhere unto, that faith cannot find a Surer anchor, whereon to depend; hope, a firmer footing whereon to fasten; Charity, Readier wings to mount her above all earthly machinations, and worldly stratagems. So that Here we may well come in, with that, which the Apostle cites out of the Prophet; Where is the wise? Where is the Scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Will their Wisdom, or scribbling, or disputing justify their own actions, when they shall be brought to an impartial scanning? How will Esaus Wisdom be justified, that parted with his birthright, for a mess of read pottage? or Balaams, that would hold with Balak, to curse God's people, though his Ass might have minded him, that he ran a desperate Way? or Gehazy's that by his cheating and lying, purchased to him and his Heirs, a lineal leprosy? among the manifold enormities in the Prophet Isaiah's time, there be three especially he complains of, which the Actors in them notwithstanding, held for no small piece of their Wisdom, and Politics: The First, is to make a man an offender for a word. The second, to lay a snare for him, that Reproveth in the gate. And last, to turn aside the just, for a thing of nought. |
