  Now if a Serpent siding with her inclination could so quickly stagger and quite overthrow her Faith ; if she , because she sees and likes a pleasing Object , can , in mere defiance of her own assured conviction , when the Revelation look'd her in the face , and God himself was scarce gone out of sight , straight give credit to a Snake , that comes and confidently gives the lie to God her Maker , offers her no proof at all of what he says , but onely flatters her desires with promises and expectations of she knows not what , a Ye shall not die , but ye shall be as Gods ; if in spite of Knowledge she turn Infidel so soon and easily : 't is no great wonder if that Serpent do , at this distance from Revelation , prevail on men , whose conversation being most with Sense , ( their satisfactions also consequently gratifying of their Sense ) they do not willingly assent to any thing but that which brings immediate evidence and attestation of the Senses , which the objects of our Faith do not , ( especially if it give check to and restrain those satisfactions , as those do ; ) on such men , I say , that do not care , nor use , in things that are against their mind , to apply the Understanding close and strongly to reflect on those considerations which should move assent , and work belief . As if God had made that state of men , far the most generous part of the whole kinde , and best appointed for the noblest uses of the world , to serve no other ends but what the Grashoppers and Locusts do , to sing and dance among the Plants and Branches , and devour the fruits ; and Providence had furnish'd them with all advantages of plenty for no better purposes .

summary:
  And this I dare boldly say , that if the Scripture did say as expresly , that the Pope had a supremacy or soveragnity over the whole Church , or that he or the Roman Church were infallible ; their definition , or the living voice of their present Church , a most sure rule of Faith , as it does say Scripture is able to make us wise unto salvation , those Articles would suffer no dispute , it would be blasphemy or sacriledg to limit or explain them by distinctions , when those sayings of the perfectness of Scriptures are forc't to bear many . If they knew them forg'd all ; that a 600000 men , besides their wives and families , should endure this Moses , having brought them forth only into a wilderness , there to lay such a heavy Law , and so severe a yoke upon them , with such penalties annext to every least transgression , and adjure them to observe it on the account of all those prodigies that had bin wrought among them , and upbraid them with stiffneckedness , rebellion , and appeal to their own senses for the truth of all this , and record all to posterity in this Scripture , cause all to be read before them ; and that they should bear all this from him they knew so impudent a deceiver , and conveigh that Scripture and the faith of it to their posterity , ground their so strict , so chargeable Religion on that book , which they were certain had no word of truth in it : this sure transcends belief and possibility .

For you know that when God would chuse a King for Israel , he chose him not by outward and perishing excellencies , for then he would have chosen in the room of Saul , Eliab , Aminadab , or Shammah , who were the three elder brothers of David , and men of goodly personages to look upon ; yet God chose none of these , ( says the Text ) but David the youngest of them , though not so outwardly , yet inwardly glorious , being a man after his own heart .

  Death hath his several Instruments to accomplish his Ends ; sometimes we are taken away by Violence and secret Influence , by the Aspect of a Star , and the stink of a Mist , or by the sending out of a Cloud , and meeting of a Vapour ; Accidents has happened , by the Fall of a Chariot , a sinking House , or a high mettled Horse to cast his Rider ; others by the stumbling at a Stone ▪ the scratch of a Nail or Fin , by a full Meal , or an empty Stomach , by watching at the Wine , and drinking of it in full Bowls and Glasses , the Healths of others , when in the mean time they destroy their own : Some by too great Study and Watching at Prayer , others is blasted by the Sun , or Planet-struck by the Moon ; sometimes Death's Harbingers are Heats or Golds , watchfull Nights , or slumbring Days ; by Water turn'd into Ice , or thaw'd into the Flouds of a River ; sometimes by a Hair , or a Ra●sin ; by violent Motion , or sitting still ; by Severity , or Dissolution ; by God's Mercy , or his Anger ; by every thing in Providence , and every thing in Manner , Nature , and Chance . and though he bring them back again , yet is this done by the Almighty for a Memorial of Death : God brings Men into such Extremities , that nothing but Death is to be expected , they receive the Sentence of Death in themselves , and despair of Life , 1 Cor. 8.9 . and are free among the Dead , in their own and others Judgment , Psal. 88.4 , 5. and thus many times they are in Deaths often , 2 Cor. 11.23 .

In short , 't were endless to cite the places in these prophetic Books , wherein God do's thus condescend to solicit even the sensitive part of man ; and that with such moving Rhetoric , that I cannot but wonder at the exception som of our late Critics make against the Bible , for its defect in that particular : for Oratory is nothing but a dextrous application to the affections and passions of men .

  O cleanse thou me from my secret sins , keep thy Servant also from presumptuous sins , lest they get the Dominion over me , so shall I be undefiled and innocent from the great offence ; save Lord , and hear me , O King of Heaven when I call upon thee ; the Lord is my Shepherd , therefore shall I lack nothing , but be not thou far from me ; O Lord thou art my succour , haste thee to help me ; unto thee , O Lord , will I lift up my Soul ; my God , I have put my trust in thee , let me not be confounded , neither let mine enemies triumph over me ; shew me thy ways , O Lord , and teach me thy paths : lead me forth in thy Truth , and learn me , for thou art the God of my Salvation , in thee hath been my hope all the day long : call to remembrance , O Lord , thy tender mercy , and thy loving kindness which hath been ever of old : O remember not the sins and offences of my youth , but according to thy mercy think upon me , O Lord , for thy goodness , for thy Name sake ; O Lord , be merciful to my sin , for it is great ; turn thee unto me , and have mercy upon me , for I am desolate and in misery , the sorrows of my heart is enlarged : O bring thou me out of my trouble ; look upon my adversity and misery , and forgive me all my sins ; consider mine enemies how many they are that bear a tyrannous heart against me ; O keep my Soul and deliver me ; let me not be surrounded , for I have put my trust in thee ; let perfect and righteous dealing wait upon me , for my hope hath been in thee ; deliver Israel , O God , out of all his troubles ; be thou my Judge , O Lord , for I have walked innocently ; my trust hath been also in the Lord , therefore shall I not fall ; examine me , O Lord , and prove me : try out my Reins and Heart , for thy loving kindness is always before mine eyes ; and I will walk in thy Truth : thou hast charged that we should diligently keep thy Commandements ; wherewithal shall a young Man cleanse his way , even by ruling himself after thy word ; teach me , O Lord , the way of thy Statutes , and I shall keep it unto the end ; O give me understanding , and I shall keep thy Law ; yea , I shall keep it with my whole heart ; O turn away my eyes , lest they behold vanities , and quicken thou me in thy way ; O establish thy word in thy Servant , that I may fear thee ; O think upon thy Servant as concerning thy word , wherein thou hast caused me to put my trust ; the same is my comfort in my trouble ; for thy word hath quickned me : O Lord thou hast dealt graciously according to thy word ; before I was troubled I went wrong ; but now I have kept thy word , thou art good and gracious ; O teach me thy Statutes : O let my heart be sound in thy Statutes that I be not ashamed ; quicken me after thy loving kindness , and so shall I keep the Testimonies of thy mouth :

  The ladies calling in two parts / by the author of The whole duty of man, The causes of the decay of Christian piety, and The gentlemans calling.

summary:
  'T is said of Philopemen , that the Lacedemonians finding it their interest to corrupt him with mony , they were yet so possest with the reverence of his vertues , that none durst undertake to attaque him ; and sure 't were not impossible for women to arrive at the same security : such an autority there is in Vertu , that where 't is eminent , 't is apt to controle all loose desires , and he must not be only lustful but sacrilegious , that attemts to violate such a Sanctuary . 'T is true , 't is not alwaies in ones power to shun the meeting with such persons , they are too numerous , and too intruding to be totally avoided ; unless , as St. Paul says , 1 Cor. 5. 10. one should go out of the World.
