  A briefe answer to Doctor Fernes booke tending to resolve conscience about the subjects taking up of arms / by Jer. Burroughes.

summary:
  1. We do not say that power abused should be resisted ; but Will , where there is no Power , may be resisted . The D. in this is ingenuous ; he confesseth that not onely Gods Law , but mans Law limits Kings power : This is a great ease to many mens consciences to know so much .

  A glimpse of Sions glory, or, The churches beautie specified published for the good and benefit of all those whose hearts are raised up in the expectation of the glorious liberties of the saints.

summary:
  Let Christ live , and Barrabas die , was the last speech of Tremellius : Let Babylon fall , let Ierusalem rise , and Christ reigne in his glory ; this is the voice of all the Saints this day , and will continue to their last Voyce : It is the work of the day to cry downe Babylon , that it may fall more and more , and it is the worke of the day to give God no rest , till he sets up Ierusalem as the praise of the whole World . But God in his Providence , because he would permit Antichrist to rise and to Rule for a long time , and he had many things to bring out the Kingdome of Antichrist , to worke for his Glory ; therefore God hath left this Truth to be so darke , the setting up of Christ in his Kingly Office .

  The sea-mans direction in time of storme Delivered in a sermon upon occasion of a strong stormie wind lately happening. / By Ier. Burroughs.

summary:
  4. Who maketh his Angels spirits , so it is in your bookes , but the word translated spirits , signifies Winds , and is to be understood of them ; for the scope of the Psalmist is to shew the glory of God in his great workes of Nature . It is a blessed thing to be able to looke upon God in these his glorious workes with comfort and peace , if there were no guilt within in our hearts ( although they would be moved with reverence of God in his great workes ) yet all the tempests in the World could not shake them with any such terrour , as to hinder their comfort , peace , their sweet rest and repose in God , yea they would rather rejoyce the heart , they would raise it to blesse it selfe in this God , as the God of its comfort , and of all its good : were it not for vapors , for Wind got into the earth , all stormes and tempestuous Winds without , would never make an earthquake were our spirits cleare within : whatsoever comes without , would never cause any slavish despairing , sinking heartquake in us .

  Foure speeches delivered in Guild-Hall on Friday the sixth of October, 1643.

summary:
  The third benefit is , that even the present War it will bee made lesse chargeable to us ▪ and that in this ▪ They not being come in , wee have not Newcastle , there is Nottingh●mshire , York●●●ir● , that great Country , a great part of L●●●olnshire , the Bishopri●● of D●rham , Northumberland , Co●●m●erland , W●●●merland , the great●●● part of the West , the richest part , I know , in this Kingdom , except this City ▪ I say , in case they come not in , they are all under contribution ▪ to the other side ; their comming in gaines New●●●●le , it gaines ▪ as much , as the money to bring them in will cost 〈◊〉 the very gaining of that Town ; and likewise when they come in , it brings all those Countries under contribution ; so that the very contribution ▪ that those Northern Countries will yeeld , it will not only pay the Scotch Army , but is likely ( as it is beleeved ) it will make an addition for our other For●●s , that wee shall have to spare for other Forces , by that which their comming in will gain of the con●ributions of those 〈◊〉 so that I have now done with those 〈◊〉 that will come ●o you in point of Profit , and likewise the assuring of this great Cause . Wee know my Lord of Newca●●le did it ●ast yeare , we know they are as farre Northern borne , they are both in a colder Cly●●te ▪ and therefore wee doubt not of it , and so 〈◊〉 long , we hope to heare of the taking of Newcastle , which what reliefe it will be to this City in the point of Coales , and other Trade , you may easily see : Most of this to the Common-Councell was declared by two Worthy Commissioners that were sent out of Scotland , my Lord Mackland , and Mr. Henderson .

summary:
  The Throne of his glory : All these Expressions hath the Church of God in the Old Testament : Certainly God intended that these being Typical , should Typifie some glorious condition that the Church should be in , in time to come . Now I am confident , that for the general part of the Jews , they understood no more of that Prophecy to be meant of Christ and his sufferings , than we when we Read in Ezekiel and in the Revelations , do understand what God will do for his Church in time to come :

  The difference between the spots of the godly and of the wicked preached by Mr. Jeremiah Burroughs at Cripple Gate.

summary:
  you will say , who is not corrupted ? who is not without sin ? O but were it but onely some human frailty , were not so much ; but they have so corrupte● themselves , that Their spot is not the spot of my Children ; It is beyond that could have been expected ; for those that had so near a Relation to God as this people had ! they are bespotted and defiled with their sin , and so , as this spot of theirs is not the spot of his Children . The mingling of Gold with Silver , doth not defile the Silver ; but mingling of Lead with Silver , doth defile the Silver , because the Lead is worse than Silver : So the Communion that the soul hath with God , and as it were , the mingling of the heart in God , and with Divine things , doth not defile it , but make it better ; but the mingling of the heart with the world , it doth defile the soul , because the soul is mingled with that that 's worse than it self ; It is a defiling-spot : You know what it is to have the Body besmear'd with dirt , and have Clothes bespotted with filth and dirt ; look how it is with your Bodies besmear'd with dirt , or your Clothes , so it is with the Face of your Soul in the Presence of God , when sin is upon you ; It 's a defiling-spot .

  Moses his self-denyall delivered in a treatise upon Hebrewes 11, the 24. verse, by Ieremy Burroughs.

summary:
  I may say in this respect , as Saint Paul saith in another case ; who makes thee to differ ? was not the lump of all mankind in the hand of the Lord , as the clay in the hand of the Potter , to make one to this outward honour , and another to meannesse & basenesse as he pleaseth : hee might have so ordered things , as wee might have beene , not onely of the most beggerly , and miserable broode , but might have beene begotten a toade , or a serpent , or any other the vilest creature that liveth upon the earth : that honour wee have , God hath put upon us , and therefore it is his , the glory of it is infinitely due unto him . If wee would glory in our parentage , especially glory in our ancestors , who have beene godly , who have made themselves noble indeede by the worthy things they have done for God and his people ; and let it be our honour , to continue this honour to our family , rather resolve to lose our life , then to let this honour of our family die in us ; that it may not be said , how did Religion flourish in such a noble family , for two or three or more successions ? but now all is gone , ever since such a sonnes time all is gone , and things are turned another way .

  The glorious name of God, The Lord of Hosts opened in two sermons, at Michaels Cornhill, London, vindicating the Commission from this Lord of Hosts, to subjects, in some case, to take up arms : with a post-script, briefly answering a late treatise by Henry Ferne, D.D. / by Jer. Burroughes.

summary:
  Oh that now some Prophet of the Lord might have accesse to His Majesty , and tell him that hee must not goe this way he doth , that he is drawn aside by evill men about him , that there is a misunderstanding betweene him and his people , that nothing is done by us but according to the minde of God , that we doe not endeavour to deprive him of any lawfull power he hath given him by God or man , but onely to preserve our lawfull liberties as truly ours as he is born unto the Crown , and that we might with peace enjoy the Gospell , and serve the Lord and His Majesty in our own Land. 11. The providence of God in war is great , in removing it from one place to another : The Lord of Hosts gives the sword commission to ride circuite from one Land to another Countrey , and from one part of a Kingdome unto another . Ezech. 14. 17. Or if I bring a sword upon that Land , and say , Sword goe through the Land , so that I cut off man and beast in it : The sword hath beene in many parts of our Land already , even in the utmost parts , Northumberland and Cornwall , the two extremities of the Land , as Dan and Bersheba in the Land of Canaan .

  The saints inheritance and the worldlings portion representing the glorious condition of a child of God and the misery of having ones portion in this world, unfolding the state of true happiness with the marks, means, and members thereof / by Ier. Burroughs.

summary:
  Then it was a speech of a German Divine , though he were a good man , and lived very innocently , when he lay upon his sick bed and apprehended death , he was in great terrours of spirit , mightily troubled , and some of his friends came to him , & asked him , why should you be so troubled , that have lived so good a life as you have done ? this was his answer : The judgements of God are one , and the judgements of men are another , I have now to deal with God , it is true , I lived thus before men , and men gave their verdict of me as good , and thought I was in a good condition , but O , I am now to go to God , and to deal immediately with him , and Gods judgements and mans judgements are different things ; when God shall come to weigh all mens portions out , as it will be , then so much righteousnesse , so much happinesse ; you 'l say then , Lord what shall become of us all , all our righteousnesse is as the menstruous cloth ; I but for the Saints , the righteousnesse of Christ will be put into one scoale , and their portion into the other , and their portion will be weighed by the righteousnesse of Christ ; Now when thou comest to God , thou must come to the scoale , and thou wilt put in thy good servings of God , and thy coming to Church , and some good civill actions and morall things thou hast done , thou wilt put them in the scoale , God will say , that thou hast had already , weighs down all those . Now though you may think that such are in most danger , they shew plainly they are men of another countrey , and should be most honoured ; and take but this principle with you , the more any one gives up his estate to God , the more comfort he hath in his estate , whether in the enjoyment of it , or in the losse of it ; I expresse it thus : when one resignes up all he hath , his estate , liberty , name , life to God , the oftener it comes into Gods hands , the better it comes , when God gives it him again ; a carnall heart when once he hath these things , he will not trust God with them , but he will have them in his own keeping ; but a gracious heart , though he hath all these from God , yet every day he is willing to give up all to him , and to trust God with them again ; though he be a rich man , he is willing every day to come and beg his bread at his Fathers gate , and give up all ; now he gives up all in the truth of his heart to God , and God gives it him all again ; as long as in a lawfull way he enjoyes it , he hath it a fresh from God ; now this ( I say ) the oftener any thing comes out of Gods hand , the sweeter & the better it is ; wicked mens estates come but once out of Gods hands , and therefore there is not so much comfort in them , but a godly mans estate comes 100. and 100. times from God ; for every resignation gives it to God , and God gives it him again ; & therein is comfort , and O blessed are they that live so , as that they declare they look for another Countrey , and that their portion is not here ; let the men of the world think them foolish , that will venture themselves so , God and his Saints have declared that their portion it not here .

summary:
  As when God commanded Saul to slay Agag and the Amalekites , and all their Cattel , then he was loth to be so outragious , but out of compassion he spared some for Sacrifice , but then the Cause was Gods : now when it was his own Cause , then slay all , Priests and Men , and Women , and Sucklings , and Oxen , and Sheep , and all : It is God that turnes the wrath of man to his praise : & hee doth not onely preserve his Church notwithstanding it , but makes it worke for the good of his Church .

  The excellency of a gracious spirit Deliuered in a treatise upon the 14. of Numbers, verse 24. By Ier. Burroughes minister of Gods Word.

summary:
  There is a wilingnesse of spirit to their worke , what God would have , what ever it be ; if they apprehend it above their reach , they cast not off their worke but seeke to God for supply of ability , knowing that there is spirit enough in God , that God hath wayes enough to enable the spirits of his servants unto , and carry them on in any worke he sets them about ; they know that God will never put any man , upon any services , but by one meanes or other , he will fit his spirit for them : for it is the great delight of God , to have men in service , to be of spirits fitted for service . Many conceit an excellency of spirit to bee in selfe-willednesse , in being passionate , froward , and boisterous ; Certainly this comes from weaknes of spirit , no excellency is required for this , every foole can bee thus ; but that is excellency , to bee able to ovērcome , to rule ones spirit , to have command of ones spirit , to subdue and bring in order passions , and violent stirrings of spirits ; this is pretious and honourable in the eyes of God and man : this is a well tempered spirit indeed , that can be strong , zealous , full of courage , unyeeldable in the cause of God and the Church ; but meeke , quiet , yeeldable , selfedeniable in its own cause : those who usually are the most boisterous , and passionate for themselves , are the poorest spirited men , and the most basely yeelding , when it comes to the cause of God.
