  Dr. Hammond's brief resolution of that grand case of conscience (necessary for these times) concerning the allegiance due to a prince ejected by force out of his kingdoms; and how far the subjects may comply with a present usurped power.

summary:
  Therefore if that Party whose Cause is Unjust , shall yet prevail , and prove successfull , then in answer to the second Branch , I say , that there is no Right acquired by this : For , 't is a mistake to think that this is the meaning of Jus Victoriae , the Right of Victory , which the Civil Lawyers speak of , as if God had by this lottery testified his Judgment of the Right , and pronounced that Just now , which was Unjust before ; or that the present Force is always to be looked on as the Higher Powers , and allowed the Obedience required by the Apostle , as due to them , which is the mistaking of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , Power , for 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , Authority , and agrees with that speech of the Atheists , Wis . 3. The Question then being removed from the Title of Force , ( which being itself unjust , cannot confer Right on any , ) It must next be consider'd , what Dedition ( that is , yielding or resigning up of one's Right ) can doe .

  The last words of the reverend, pious, and learned Dr. Hammond. Being two prayers for the peaceful resettlement of this church and state

summary:
  To this end do thou , O Lord , mollifie all exasperate minds , take off all animosities and prejudices , contemp● and heart-burnings , and by uniting their hearts prepare for the reconciling their opinions : And that nothing may intercept the clear sight of thy truth , Lord , let all private and secular Designs be totally deposited , that gain may no longer be the measure of our Godliness , but that the one great and common concernment of Truth and Peace may be unanimously and vigorously pursued . And do thou , O Lord , so dispose all hearts , and remove all obstacles , that none may have the will , much less the power , to hinder his peaceable restitution .

  A view of some exceptions to the practical catechisme from the censures affixt on them by the ministers of London, in a book entituled A testimony to the truth of Jesus Christ, &c. / by H. Hammond.

summary:
  15. to lift up the soul to vanity , is to swear by the soul or life falsly , as it there followes , nor sworn to deceive his neighbour , and beside my own judgment in this matter , back'd with the consent of as learned as this age hath , or the Antient Church had any , I conceived that I had a most authentick warrant from Christ himself , who renders it {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} , thou shalt not forswear thy self : For so we read Mat. 5. Ye have heard that it was said to them of old , thou shalt not kill , and again in the same manner , thou shalt not commit adultery , that is , that of the ten Commandments delivered in Sinai , and brought down by Scripture , to them his present auditors , one Commandment was , thou shalt not kill , another , thou shalt not commit adultery , and so again in the very same form of words , another , Thou shalt not forswear thy self , from which I did assure my self ( and so still doe ) that {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} , is as directly the interpretation ( in Christs judgment ) of the first part of the third Commandment , as {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} , or {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} of the seventh and sixth , and so that it is undoubtedly no more the one then the other . 15. and it is this . That neither Paul nor James exclude or separate faithfull actions or acts of faith from faith , or the condition of justification , but absolutely require them , as the only things by which the man is justified .

  A brief vindication of three passages in the Practical catechisme, from the censures affixt on them by the ministers of London, in a book entitled, A testimony to the truth of Jesus Christ, &c. / By H. Hammond D.D.

summary:
  [ the only things by which the man is justified ] as if by that speech should be understood , either that the faithful actions or acts of faith without faith it self , were the only things by which we are justified , or else that all the things there spoken of , Faith , and faithful actions , or acts of faith are the only CAUSE , and so some CAUSE of our justification , or by which , as by a CAUSE , we are justified ; either of these I confesse might passe for an error , but both these doctrines I have sufficiently disclaim'd ; and indeed in this very proposition 't is affirm'd that the faithful actions or acts of Faith are not excluded or separated from Faith ( which they must be if they justifie without Faith ) or the condition of justification ( i. e. from that faith which is considered as , and affirm'd to be the condition of our justification ) but by those two Apostles absolutely required , to what ? why to faith , or the condition of our justication , as the only things together with it by which as by a condition , and only so ( as 't is clearly set down all over that part of the Catechisme , which handles faith or justification ) the man is justified . That S. James doth not exclude or separate faithful actions , or acts of Faith , from Faith , or the condition of justification , but require them , ( i.e. Faith , and faithful actions , or acts of faith ) as the only things by which , as by a condition , the man is justified , will be clear by the definition of a condition in Logick , and the plain words of S. James ; A Condition is a qualification of the s●bject required to make him capable , or a causa sine quâ non ; and so a condition of justification is no more , then that without which a man cannot be justified ; and that as the direct affirmation of S. James , c. 2.24 .

  Considerations of present use, concerning the danger resulting from the change of our church-government

summary:
  Church and state -- Church of England. And if this might be thus designed , I should then resolve , that the direct contrary to the fore-mentioned suggestions would be truth , that the setling and continuing of this present Government would prove the common interest of all , and only the burthen of those few that have those painfull offices assigned them ; and least any may think this word a boast ( which I can safely venture with the world at this time , and not have reason to fear a surprisal , or being taken at my word ) I shall venture another offer in the name of my brethern of the Clergy ? ( not that I have took their particular Votes , but that I perswade my self so far of their Piety . ) That rather than the Glory should thus depart from Israel , by the Philistines taking the Ark of the Lord , laying wast this flourishing Church of ours , or transforming it into a new guise , every one single of us , that have any possessions or titles worthy any mans envy or rapine , and so are thought now by our own interests to have been bribed or fee'd Advocates in this cause , may forthwith be deprived of all that part of the Revenues of the Church wherein we are legally invested ; and he that shall not cheerfully resigne his part in the present prosperity of the Church , on the meer contemplation and intuition of the benefit that may now , and after his life redound to others , let him have the guilt of Achans wedge laid on him , and the charge of being disturber of the State.

  The life and death of Mr. William Moore, late fellow of Caius Colledge, and keeper of the University-Library as it was delivered in a sermon preached at his funeral-solemnity, April 24, 1659, in St Maries Church in Cambridge / by Tho. Smith ...

summary:
  Cardinal Bellarmin ( in his second book of Dying well , and eighth chapter ) is so ingenuous as to blame those Romanists , who begin with their Sacraments when they have done with their Physick ; and saith , Sacramentum conferretur aegrotis quando periculosè aegrotare incipiunt ; that 't is a very dangerous custome ( though it is seldome otherwise ) that men send not for the Priest till the Physician hath given them over . He would oft say , That if men would generally take courage , and shew themselves bare-faced ( without mask or vizard ) and profess what they do indeed beleeve ; it were the onely way to secure themselves and all others , and make those few that be factiously bent unable to hurt them ; but that foolish fear hath always betrayed , and brought evil upon men , from the time of the Gnosticks till now .

  A second defence of the learned Hugo Grotius, or, A vindication of the digression concerning him from some fresh exceptions / by H. Hammond.

summary:
  There having by way of Preface observed , that S. John did more expressely , then any other of the Evangelists and more early in the very first words of his writing , set down the divine nature of Christ , ipso initio Dei nomen ei assignandum — existimans , in the very beginning of his Gospel assigning him the name of God , accordingly , in his explication of the first verse , he makes the [ {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} In the beginning was ] an expression of Christ's eternity , applying to it the place in the Proverbs concerning wisedome c. 8. 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26. 1. and by so doing manifestly defines that eternal wisdome to be Christ ) and on this occasion he brings the most expresse affirmations of the antients Justine and Athenagoras , the former affirming Christ's praeexistence before the word {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} , and p. 851.

summary:
  For in the Creed , after his Crucifixion , and remaining so long on the Cross till he was dead , commending his Spirit into the hands of his Father , it follows , his Body was interred , and his Soul ( in Separation of which from his Body , the reality of his Death consists ) descended , departed into the common place , habitation , state , condition , of the Dead ( hovered not above the Grave , as the Heathen phansied of the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 ( underwent the very same fate that the Souls of all other Dead men do , and so continued till the third day , and then he rose again . yet the position in the Creed , will assist it to signifie thus much more ; for if 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 be a State or Condition or Habitation or Place , though but improperly so called , yet descending to Hades being immediately attended with [ the third day he rose again from the Dead ] this must in all reason extend the act of Dying to a duration , and that duration or space of continuance among the dead as far as to the third day , else there would be ( which is not to be imagined ) a Chasme in the Creed , no full enumeration of all the parts and steps of the Story ; but being thus understood , nothing can be more punctual and compleat in all the circumstances , than the Order observed in the Creed , is .

  Some profitable directions both for priest & people in two sermons preached before these evil times : the one to the clergy, the other to the citizens of London / by H. Hammond.

summary:
  have we not power , 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , to carry about a beleeving or a sister woman , or matron ( for so 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a brother , is every where a beleever , and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 sister is but the varying the gender , or sex ) as many others did , to maintain and defray the charge of their journey , that so they might 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , v. 6. forbear working , and yet eat and drink , v. 4. not starve themselves by preaching the Gospel . but you will easily forgive me the sparing this pains , in this place ; Let it suffice that we find in that chapter , that at those holy meetings there was alwaies a table furnish'd out of the bounty of communicants , for a common feast unto all the faithful ; the rich might have leave to bring more than his poorer brother , but not to take place by that bounty , not to pretend any propriety to what he had brought , which is the meaning of the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 every man his own supper , and the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , taking precedence of others in eating , the rich to eat all , and the poor none , one to be hungry , and the other drunken , the fault which he there found with the Corinthians ; Nor did the custome of liberality , annex'd to the Sacrament in those dayes , expire or vanish with the Apostles ; The practice rather increased , than abated among their successors ; Witness that 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or oblation , first of all the fruits of the season , as an offering of first-fruits ; afterwards onely 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , of bread and wine mingled with water , which the brethren or faithful , i.e. in the antient style , the Communicants are said to bring , and present at the altar or table of the Lord , for the furnishing of the table with part , and refreshing the poor with what was left .

  Of sinnes of vveaknesse, vvilfulnesse and appendant to it, a paraphrasticall explication of two difficult texts, Heb. 6 and Heb. 10 / by Henry Hammond.

summary:
  We have enjoyed a long day of God's mercifull and gratious calls to repentance , and many solemne admonitions at the doore as it were of every Church , at the beginning of our daily service , [ To day if you will heare his voice , harden not your hearts ] and it is most sadly evident by our present punishments , that we have not heard the voice in that day of peace and prosperity , but hardened the heart ; The judgments being now faln most formidably on the Land , and no part of it now remaining which hath not had its sympathy in this shaking , falling fit , some sorrow , and humiliation , and withall some acts perhaps of confession have beene extorted from us ; Were there to these an addition of that other part of repentance , that of a sincere change & thorough-reformation , no doubt there would be mercy ; God would returne upon our returning ; Nay were the resolutions of amendment , ( which perhaps may be observed in many ) sincere resolutions , such as that all-seeing eye doth discerne , would hold out against all the temptations of peace againe , there were yet hope that for that sincere change of those many , the judgment ( of the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 at least , that finall totall excision , that seemes to be threatned ) might be reverst , ( according to the purport of the treaty that was about Sodom , betwixt God and Abraham ) But if the case be set of some innocent accident which causes this alteration , then it will be pertinent to the thing which I now affirme , ( to wit the evidencing the difficulty of such particular defining 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 ) as we know a man in time of sadnesse will be able to reject some jolly proposalls , which yet in time of mirth ( supposing that moderate and harmelesse , and as perfectly sinlesse in it selfe , as that contrary sadnesse ) he will not perhaps be able , nay , as Hippocrates affirmes in his tract 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , one aire or place may strongly incline a man to one whether virtue or sinne , which another doth not , & where the inclinations are stronger or weaker , there we know the strength being in degree supposed the same must prove unproportionable to the one though not the other , able and sufficient to resist the weaker , though unsufficient to subdue the stronger inclination .

summary:
  And , Lord , be pleased so to guide the hearts of all who shall be intrusted with that great concernment of setling this Nation , that they may weigh all their deliberations in the balance of the Sanctuary , that conscience , not interest , may be the ruling principle , and that they may render to Cesar the things that are Cesars , and to God the things that are Gods ; that they may become healers of our breaches and happy repairers of the sad ruines both in Church and State ; and grant , O Lord , that as those sins which made them are become National , so the repentance may be National also , and that evidenced by the proper fruits of it , by zeal of restoring of the rights both of thee and thine Anointed . Lord , let me know mine end , and the number of my days , that I may be certified how long I have to live .

summary:
  But because all of these would much lengthen this discourse above the designed proportion , and because each of them are largely insisted on by others , and because no testimony is ordinarily deemed more Authentick , then that of audible voice , I shall therefore choose principally to insist on that one ordinary way of Gods testifying to men , known to the Jews by the title of {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} , the daughter of voice , or of thunder , i. e. a revelation from Heaven , delivered in ( or coming out of the midst of ) thunder , which , say the Jews , was the speciall way of Gods revealing himself under the second Temple . And as it were ridiculous to suppose , or expect from God , that he should testifie from Heaven , that such men did hear that former voice from Heaven , so the same Law of God , and Nature , which forbids lying , as sinful , forbids also incredulity , as irrational , when a thing is by unsuspected witnesses , upon certain knowledg , with so many improvements and advantages , thus sufficiently testified : And if God upon mans several incredulities , should be still obliged to give witness to his truths by his own voice , then should he cut off that rule for beleif , which in all other things ( agreeably to the dictates of reasonable nature ) he hath made standing among men .

summary:
  On the other side , if our nature being universally corrupted by Adam's fall , all possibility of rising out of that grave of sin be the effect and benefit of the Grace , as that is of the death of Christ , if it be God that worketh in us both to will and to do , of his good pleasure , the first by his preventing , the second by his assisting Grace , and both those bottom'd meerly in his 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 good pleasure , nothing in us any way meriting the first act , or purpose of Giving Grace , any farther then our wants and miseries rendered us the proper objects of his compassions and reliefs ; and the subsequent aids in like manner challengeable , onely from his promise , and the purport of the parable of the Talents , of Giving to him that hath , rewarding the use of the lower , with the gift of an higher degree of Grace , then still is this , the attributing nothing to our selves , but demerits , and provocations , and giving the whole glory to God. § . 12. And then to put any man in hope , that what is not ordinarily revealed in the Gospel , may yet be laid up for him in the cabinet of Gods secret counsels with this seal upon it , The Lord knoweth those that are his , as if they might be his still in Gods acceptation , which walk most contrarily to him , this may prove a most dangerous snare of souls , and it is strange it should seek shelter in that Text 2. Tim. 2. 19. which was most expresly designed to the contrary , as is evident both by the notation of the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in the beginning of the verse , which in all probability signifies the Covenant of God , the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 stability whereof , there prest , must assure us that there is no salvation to be expected , but according to the contents of that great indenture , once for all sealed in the blood of Christ , of which as that indeed is one part , which is inscribed on one side of the seal [ The Lord knoweth those that are his ] i. e. he will never fail to own those that continue faithfull to him ; so the other , on the other side , is most emphatical , [ Let every man that nameth the name of Christ , depart from iniquity ] which if he do not , he hath forfeited all the Priviledges of his Christianity .

And 2. by minding my self and others , what the Apostles say of this power , that it was given them 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , to build up the Church of Christ by it in general , and in particular 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , to discipline them , whom no fairer means would work on , and teach them not to blaspheme in words or actions , to work them off from all lees of speculative , but especially of practical Atheisme . That these are the [ not weak or carnal weapons of the Churches warfare , but mighty to bring down every strong hold ] i. e. the most contumacious , stout , importunate sinner , that doth but acknowledge the truth of the Gospel , I shall anon have leisure to shew you . If this general proposal , ( so pertinaciously decried by our actions ) might once be thought worth the hearing , then sure Christs peculiar way and method of working this cure , would be thought of some use and advantage also ; not lookt on as a meer engine , or artifice of ambitious men , as they cannot be blamed to conceive it , who think it doth any way entrench on those regalities which are placed by God , I most willingly professe to believe , far above the reach of any humane authority , solo Deo minores ; or else suppose it a tyrannizing , or triumphing over the most inferiour offender , ( he that can take any carnal or sensual pleasure in the exercise of those Keyes , in the using that sharp engine of surgery , or ever draw it but in meer necessary charity , ( to edification , and not to destruction ) is one of the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 sonnes of blood , not fit to be admitted on a common Iury , much lesse advanced to be a spiritual Iudge ) but as a most soveraigne medicinal Recipe , that which hath the inscription of Christ on it ; not as of a Lord , but as a Iesus ; not as a Law-giver , but as a 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , a Saviour and a Physitian of souls .
