  A sermon, preached at St. Gregories church by St. Paul's on Sunday the 13th. day of Iune, 1658. Intended for the funeral solemnization of Iohn Hewit, Dr. of divinity, and late minister there

summary:
  When the sinfull neglect of any known duty , being judgement , as soon as the doing of a known sin , I say it is the not doing of our known duty makes us culpable , and that sin here charged on us is not the rejoycing , and triumphing when the godly are taken away , but the not laying it to heart that argues a man to be in the depth of wickedness , to come to sit in the seat of the scorners , to deride at the calamities of the godly , and make their tears his drink , and their ruins his play and sport , this is the depth of wickednesse when men rejoyce at the miseries and ruins of the righteous , but it is not considering , or laying to heart the miseries of the servants of God that is here onely meant , though you will find that a great sin , the not laying to heart their being taken away . Thus they are righteous because justified , and not onely so , but also because their natures are renewed after the Image of God , that is cretaed in righteousnesse and true holinesse , in which respect they are partakers of the Divine nature : and also righteous in ordering their lives according to the rule of the word , which all Gods servants sets before them , and seek to live according thereunto , that they may give God his due , and men their due ; and thus it is true of the servant ▪ of God , they are righteous really .

  And now worthy Sir , what bitter counsell could I prescribe you then this of Faith ? what fuller example of faiths energie could I set before you then that of Abraham , who by faith gave up that Isaac to God , whom God had conferr'd on him in love . 3 It assures us of great good by obedientiall submission , and that there is no losse in giving up all to God , its good for mee to enjoy this comfort , sayth sense , its better to part with it , saith faith , since there is no better way to retein a comfort then in a faithfull carelesnesse to surrender it up to God , witnesse Abraham in the text , hee offers and God spares his Isaac .

  The choicest fruit of peace gathered from the tree of life presented to the Right Honourable the House of Peers, in a sermon preached before them at the Abbey church of Westminster, on April 30, 1660, being the day of their solemn humiliation / by Nath. Hardy ...

summary:
  If you cast your eyes backward in this Book , you shall finde God assuring tranquility to the Jews when returned to Jerusalem ; My people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation , and in sure dwellings , and in quiet resting places ; and again a little after , Look upon Zion the City of our solemnity , thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation , a tabernacle that shall not be taken down , not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed , neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken ; And were not Peace a common theam , and had not the miseries of our late wars abundantly taught us , it were easie here to enlarge upon the excellency of this mercy , for every man to sit under his own Vine in quiet , and enjoy his rights with peace ; Our Prophet in the close of this verse sets it forth by the metaphor of health , and indeed what health is to the body , that is peace to a people , health is the peace and agreement of the humours in the body , and peace is the health and welfare of a Nation , and as it is health without which there can be no contentment in any outward advantages whatsoever , so it is the peaceable enjoyment of our possessions which renders them truly comfortable , and this was the mercy here promised , and not only so but 2. Peace and righteousnesse ; for so this Prophet assureth us , the work of righteousnesse shall be peace ; Righteousnesse I say , which giveth to every one those rights which are due to him by the laws of God and of the Realm ; and though a full reparation of all injuries is not to be expected , yet a restitution of every man to his just right ought to be endeavoured .

Hardy ...

summary:
  Indeed this metaphor may very justly take in the whole latitude of life which men attain in this world , the four fingers bredth representing the four ages of man , to wit , Childhood , Youth , Manhood , Old age : the life of a childe is scarce an inch , of an old man but a span ; of the one it may be said , his dayes are but a fingers bredth , and of the other it can but be said , his dayes are as an hands bredth . Such is mans best estate , he seemeth to be setled as the earth , but he vanisheth with the winde , changeth with the moon , and ebeth with the water , Homo Bulla is true of man , at his best estate he is like the bubble which swels up by the rain falling upon the water , and fals presently , or which the child causeth with the breath of his mouth at the end of the reed , and vanisheth with the least shaking of his hand .

summary:
  Welcome good Christians , I trust your expectation will not be disappointed , I shall ( God assisting ) set both sights before you , the miracle of the one , the wonder of the other , but first begin we with this in the Text ; And behold the Bush burned with fire , &c. As the Bush ( though the fire was in the midst of it ) did not take fire , so notwithstanding God strove with them by his spirit , yet their sin was not destroyed .

summary:
  1. In a passive sense , men of mercy and good will , are those upon whom God will have mercy , and to whom he beareth a singular good will , The Lord is good unto all , and his tender mercies are over all his works ( saith the Psalmist ) there being no creature so mean and base , which giveth not a Specimen of his goodness , but yet his delights are with the sonnes of men , and his love to mankind , is greater then to any of his creatures : upon which account the Psalmist saith a little before , Lord , what is man , that thou takest knowledg of him , or the sonne of man that thou makest account of him ?

  Lamentation, mourning, and woe sighed forth in a sermon preached in the parish-church of St. Martin in the Fields, on the 9th day of September : being the next Lords-day after the dismal fire in the city of London / by Nath. Hardy ...

summary:
  Now that God hath overthrown some among us , as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah , it is time surely for those who have been guilty of Sodoms sins , to accuse themselves for their pride , fulness of bread , abundance of idleness , and not strengthning the hands of the Needy . Now that so many houses of God are burnt up , and laid waste in the City , and their Teachers are removed from them ; it is time for those to bethink themselves , who either out of Prophaneness have neglected , or out of Schism vilified the houses of God ; and if not like this City of Jerusalem killed and stoned , yet disheartned and contemned those who were sent unto them .

  The apostolical liturgy revived a sermon preached at the assizes held at Chelmsford in the county of Essex, March 18, 1660 / by Nath. Hardy.

summary:
  The principal requisite to a good conversation is godliness , which what it is , will appear by the Etymologie of the Greek word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , which is derived from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 colo & 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 benè ; so that to be godly is to worship God aright . Nor would that gloss of Theophylact be passed by , who observing what followeth , would have us take notice that we ought to give thanks for benefits conferred upon others , by which means we are firmly knit together in brotherly love ; for he that is thanfull for his neighbours prosperity , 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , cannot but have a love towards his person ; and if thanksgiving ought to be rendered in respect of others , much more in regard of our selves .

summary:
  By the Apostle Peter it is called {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} , a Crown made as it were of the flower {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} which never fadeth : and to this notion the phrase in the text may be referd ; it is a Crown of life , that is such a Crown which can not die , nor wither .

  The safest convoy, or, The strongest helper declared in a valedictory sermon before the Right Honourable Sr. Thomas Bendish, Baronet, His Majesties ambassadour ... / deliverd by Nathanaell Hardy.

summary:
  But to unlock the Metaphor of the Text , conceive the World as a Sea full of waters , the Church as a Ship sailing in this Sea , passing through those waters , persecutions as the windes that raise the waves , and endanger the overwhelming of the Ship ; notwithstanding which , having the Crosse of Christ for her main Mast , the sacred promises to be her Cablas , the graces of Faith , Hope , and Patience as her Anchors , pure and holy affections as her Sails , and the gentle winde of the Spirit to favour her ; finally , having the Word for her Helm , and God for her Pilot , she sails securely , and at last arrives safely at the haven of heaven ; When thou passest through the waters , I will be with thee , &c. It cannot be but the Saints of God should passe through waters , though they passe through them , yet they shall not be plunged into them : and the reason of this safety is , because God is with them , those are the three rivulets into which the fountain of this text powrs it self , through each of which , whilest my discourse and your attention shall passe , let our prayer be , that Gods gracious presence may so be with us , as the water of life may overflow our hearts and fructifie our lives to his glory and our comfort , and so I begin with The Churches dolorous condition exprest in those words , When thou passest through the waters .

  Love and fear the inseparable twins of a blest matrimony : characterized in a sermon occasioned by the late nuptialls between Mr. William Christmas and Mrs. Elizabeth Adams / Preached by Nathanael Hardy.

summary:
  It is an observation not unfitly taken notice of by the golden mouth'd Father ; and therefore not to be passed by , that the Apostle enlargeth about love , and only mentioneth fear {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} , he setteth down the extent of love in leaving father and mother and cleaving to the wife , the manner , by Christ's love to his Church , and a mans to himself ; not so of fear : and he giveth this reason , {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} , because he would have love especially to prevail both in man and woman , since whereas fear will not cause love , love will produce fear . Multitudes flow from this Relation , but the relation it self is only between two ; it is not {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} and {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} nor {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} and {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} , but {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} and {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} , man and wives , wife and men , but man and wife , unus , unam , uni .

summary:
  Secondly , Others take the reference of Treasure here as remote as that {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} Ministery , mentioned in the first verse .

summary:
  Others referre the first word to God , the latter to Man ; restraining the sense of this word upright , to the integrity of our dealings with those , among whom we converse : And thus 't is an undoubted truth , The good Man is both perfect towards God , and upright towards Men ; giving as God , his right , so Man his due . Hence it is , that he 's the same Man at all times , in all places : what the Phylosopher sayes of a good Man is true of him , he is {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} , like a Cube , or square , or like a Die , that falls alike every way , because at all times , and in all societies , he acts by one and the same Rule ; 'T is a good saying of one that pretends to be Saint Cyprian , Ea non est religio , sed dissimulatio , qua per omnia non constat sibi ; that is not Piety , but Hypocrisie , which is not in all things like it selfe , since the upright Man measures every action by the straight line of Divine Prescript .

  A loud call to great mourning in a sermon preached on the 30th of January 1661, being the anniversary fast for the execrable murther of our Late Soveraign Lord King Charles the First, of Glorious Memory, before the Honourable Knights, citizens, & burgesses of the Commons House of Parliament, in the parish-church of Saint Margarets Westminster / by Nath. Hardy ...

summary:
  Turn you unto me saith the Lord with all your heart , with weeping and mourning , rent your hearts and not your garments , and turn to the Lord your God ; where you may observe , that turning to God must be accompanied with weeping , mourning , and renting the heart with sorrow for our sins , whereby we have turned from him : and which seemeth a riddle , but is an undoubted truth , we must at once turn to God with all our hearts , and with a broken heart ; yea that we may turn to God with our whose heart , we must rent our hearts . A loud call to great mourning in a sermon preached on the 30th of January 1661, being the anniversary fast for the execrable murther of our Late Soveraign Lord King Charles the First, of Glorious Memory, before the Honourable Knights, citizens, & burgesses of the Commons House of Parliament, in the parish-church of Saint Margarets Westminster / by Nath.

  The olive-branch presented to the native citizens of London in a sermon preached at S. Paul's Church, May 27, being the day of their yearly feast / by Nath. Hardy ...

summary:
  1. Peace is honest , as being that which results from the dictates of the divine law and right reason ; Peace is the daughter of truth , the effect of righteousness , and the fruit of the Spirit ; indeed this is not true of all kind of peace , {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} , saith the Greek Father , There is as a commendable dissention , so an execrable union ; such was that of Herod and Pilat against Christ ; such are all combinations for the opposing of good , or the accomplishing evil : but otherwise a friendly agreement with one another in all things that are not absolutely sinfull , is that which is most just and honest . 2. This peace with men is either extera or civilis , without or within , with forraign countries or domestick Citizens : the former is that which is called rest round about , which God gave the Jews from the Heathens invasion ; the later which her is desired , is peace within Jerusalem , that which is called civil peace , and is according to S. Austin , Ordinata imperando & obediendo concordia civium , an orderly concord among the citizens by commanding and obeying : Civitas , saith one , is quasi civium unitas , a city is a peaceable cohabitation of Citizens ; it is {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} , saith Aristotle , a communion with one another in regular living ; so that without peace and order , it is not populus but turba , a civil society , but a giddy multi ude .

  The arraignment of licentious liberty, and oppressing tyranny in a sermon preached before the right honourable House of Peers, in the Abbey-church at Westminster, on the the day of their solemn monethly fast, Febr. 24. 1646 / by Nathanaell Hardy ...

summary:
  That Epithete that was given to Bacon of Doctor resolu●us , in this case well becomes every Christian ; it was a just resolve of Luther in divine matters , cedo nulli , a remarkable speech of Socrates though an Heathen {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} not much unlike that of the Apostle . Bees are many times drowned in honey , ships cast away on the soft sands , birds caught in twig-lime , and people strangled by prosperity ; too many of the worlds dar●●●g● ma● cry out as the sick woman in the fable , {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} Woe to us , the good things we enjoy wound ●s by their embraces : It was Judahs prosperous state occasioned her forgetting God . Agur seemeth , in this respect , to make riches worse then poverty , since this causeth to steale from man , but that to deny God .

  The pious votary and prudent traveller characterized in a farewell-sermon, occasioned by the voyage of Nathanael Wych Esq. president to the East-Indies : preached in S. Dionys Back-church, Mar. 14. 1657 / by Nath. Hardy ...

summary:
  Vow not easily without very just cause , and do not dare to violate thy vow for any cause , but rather according to that pithy advice of Gregory Nazianzen , {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} , having begun a promise by vowing , consummate it by acting : ever remembring that excellent saying of the Wiseman , When thou vowest a vow unto God , defer not to pay it : Better is it that thou shouldst not vow , than that thou shouldst vow and not pay . When David saith , He found in his heart to pray a prayer to God , it means doubtless far more than saying a prayer ▪ to wit , the sincerity and fervency of his devotion : and therefore that Hebraizing Greek-phrase of St. James concerning Elias , {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} , is looked upon as parallel to that , {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} in the preceding verse , and is fitly rendred by our Translators , He prayed earnestly .

  Mercy in her beauty, or, The height of a deliverance from the depth of danger set forth in the first sermon preached upon that occasion / by Nath. Hardy.

summary:
  3. More specially , the very calling and employment of Ministers is such , as exhausteth their spirits , weakeneth their bodyes , and accelerateth both diseases and death : our Apostle saith of Epaphrodit ▪ that for the work of Christ he was nigh to death ; v. 30. the worke he there meaneth is most probably conceived to be the travelling of this good man to Rome , with supplyes for his wants , ( to relieve a Christian , especially a Messenger of Christ , is the work of Christ ) but it is no lesse true of the worke of Christ , which is p●culiarly the Ministers , since the pains they take in preaching , oft times Christ brings them nigh to death . God will not usually help without meanes , and therefore they must be used ; the meanes cannot possibly help with●ut God ; and therefore in the use of them his blessing must be implored .

  Wisdomes character and counterfeit deliniated in two sermons : the one on the epistle of St. James, chap. 3.17 ; the other on the gospel of St. Matth., chap. 2.8 / by Nath. Hardy.

summary:
  Finally , ●hat which is asserted in the close concerning wisdome , is , that she is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , without Hypocrisie ●he Greek word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , is properly used de histrionibus , of Stage-Players , and indeed a Stage-Player is a fi embleme of an Hypocrite , especially in two things , both which wisdome abhorreth . In this sence it is well joyned with 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , inconstancy being the daughter of Hypocrisie , Nil fictum diuturnum , paint is easily washed off , and that which is fained must needs be fading ; besides this is a proper effect of wisdome , that she is stedfast in her profession , and maintenance of the Faith , notwithstanding the greatest persecution she abhorreth the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of the Gnosticks , who hold it an indifferent thing to forswear Christianity in time of persecution , and therefore having chosen the way of truth , she resolveth with David , to stick to Gods Testimonies .

  Thankfulness in grain: or a good life the best return. Delivered in another sermon on the same occasion in St. Dionis, Back-Church, Aug. 14. 1653. By Nath. Hardy, Master of Arts, and preacher to that parish.

summary:
  The Philosopher could say , {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} , Prosperity engageth a Man to love God ; supposing Men to have so much humanity in them as to love him from whom they have received so many curtesies ; and the Poet 's reasoning was very valid , had it been pitched upon a right object , to wit , Jehovah , not Caesar . It is a meere delusion to think that an holy heart can consist with a prophane life , nay to allude to Saint Johns expression , if any may say he love God , and walketh not before him , he is a lyar : Since his practise giveth the lye to his pros●ssion , and the dissonancie of his life proclaimeth a no to what he saith with his lips .
