  The passion of our blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ: or, Cries of the Son of God Digested from the works of the late Reverend Dr. Horneck. Licens'd and enter'd according to order.

summary:
  to thee I lift up my languishing Head , stretching ●ut my trembling Hands to reach at thy G●ories , for so he that was dead , and laid in the Grave low enough to prove himself M●n , is risen again , and asc●nded into Heaven , high enough to prove himsel God. What from the sixth till almo●t the ninth Hour , is my dear Saviour in the heighth of this vehement Agony , and not over yet ? What Sin am I guilty of that is not atton'd yet ; that God is so incensed at , that he will not yet pardon ? O quickly , quickly help me , O my God , to find it out , that thou may'st no longer be extorted and convul●'d in these grievous Torments .

  The nature of true Christian righteousness in a sermon preached before the King and Queen at Whitehall, the 17th of November, 1689 / by Anthony Horneck ...

summary:
  I mean , the Church of England , did not split their Vessel against this Rock ; I am sure , the Scribes and Pharisees did : They made no account of the inward Frame , but rested in the Shell , and thought God would be pleased with the staying of a Bullock , or Lamb , or He-Goat ; and they measured the Goodness of their Prayers by their Length and Number more , than by the great Sense they had of the Shekinah , or Divine Presence , whereas an humble and devout Mind in the Religious Service , was the thing God required at their Hands , Matth. xv . This humble Temper the Scribes and Pharisees were very great strangers to , who look'd upon their Religious Services , as Things which God was obliged in Honour , and Equity to look upon and Reward ; Pride , Self-Conceitedness , and Self-Admiration , mingling with almost all they did ; and they did not , would not know , what a contrite and humble Heart meant , and what it was to lie low before God , with a deep Sense of their Un-worthiness , and of the great Imperfection of their Services ; and though they Fasted often , yet that was not so much to arrive to an humble Sense of their Corruptions and Infirmities , as to increase their Merits , and to do Things which might Challenge Gods kinder Inclinations ; and this was the Rock against which these Men stumbled :

  A sermon preached at Fulham in the Chappel of the Palace, upon Easter-day, MDCLXXXIX, at the consecration of the Right Reverend Father in God Gilbert, Lord Bishop of Sarum by Anthony Horneck ...

summary:
  It 's call'd a Body too , and this hath various Members , and these , various Offices , which cannot be all Eyes , and Overseers ; if they were , where would be the hearing ? It was therefore that the Apostles , in the places where they preach'd the Gospel , before they left them , or took their final leave of the People , ordain'd them Bishops and Elders , to succeed them in the Ministerial Function ; such a Bishop was Timothy , the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , the President , and Overseer of the Church of Ephesus ; and not only of the Church in the City , but 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of the Diocess ; of Ephesus , saith Eusebius : and if we may believe St. Chrysostom , of all Asia , whose Office was , besides his other Ministerial Labours , to inspect the Clergy under his charge , and other Officers belonging to the House of God , whereof the Fifth Chapter of the First Epistle to Timothy , seems to me a very clear Evidence ; for it speaks of an Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction lodged in Timothy , an Overseer constituted and appointed by St. Paul , even by the laying on of his hands , whereof he puts him in mind in the Text , and of the Gift , that was bestow'd upon him by that imposition of hands , and of his duty to exercise it . This Call of God which our Church accounts requisite and necessary upon such occasions , is no 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Bath Kol , no Daughter of the Voice , no audible Sound or Language dropp'd from Heaven , as it was Act. xiii .

summary:
  In the vanity of the Creature , let us take notice of the odiousness of sin , and it 's large demeri●s ▪ when God for mans sin hath subjected the Creature unto van●●y , it shews what an abhorrency he hath from sinful actions , and how displeased he is with transgression of his Laws , in that he confines not the punishment to Man alone , but extends it to the Creatures , or to his Servants too . And indeed , he will soon be convinced , that the Creature was made subject unto vanity , that shall observe how much its gloss , and beauty decay'd after the fall of Adam ; how the Earth , that before was a stranger to all noxious herbs and plants , brought forth Thistles and thorns now ; how her former fertility was lost in a dismal barrenness , and the ground that before required no labour , would yield little now , but what Men forced and squeezed out of it by the sweat of their brows ; how the Blessing that enrich'd and adorn'd it before , exspir'd into a Curse ; and Nature , which before knew no poison , no enmity to Man , degenerated now into Hostility , and from a friend became a foe ; how her former lovely face is all disfigured with spots and freckles now , and that which was all charm to a rational soul before , is now become an object ,

  Gods providence in the midst of confusion set out in a sermon preach'd at the Savoy, January the 30, 1681, being the anniversary of the martyrdom of King Charles I / by Anthony Horneck.

summary:
  If God takes care of any thing , thinks the sensual Man , it must be of the true Religion , this we must conceive to be his Darling , and if he hath more tender Affections for one thing than another , this we must suppose is the chief Object of his sollicitude : This makes most for his Honour , and his Glory is advanced by nothing so much as by true , and genuine Worship ; This therefore he must be thought to mind and cherish most , and to look upon with the kindest Aspect : But to see this Jewel scorned , derided , affronted , and its lustre darkened by Clouds of Ignorance and Malice : To see this Pearl broken , shattered , and the dust of it dispersed into the various corners of the Earth : To see its Foes live great , and those that touch this Apple of his Eye , brave it in their pleasures : To see them erect their Throne on the Necks of Gods Servants , and securely trample on these supposed Favourites of Heaven ; what can we conclude , but that either this is not the true Religion , or that Providence is careless , and supine in its Protection ? 5. Such another Disorder is , Base and contemptible mens climbing up to the Thrones of Kings , and displacing the true Owners , and usurping their Authority ; When the vilest of Men are advanced to Royalty , and they that were but Subjects a little before , come to sit in their Lords Tribunal : vvhen Persons of the Dregs of the People get up to the highest Povver , and they that vvere but Scum before , come to svvim like Oyl on the top , and throvv dovvn Gods Anointed ; when a Jeroboam from Surveyor of the Kings Works , rises up to be King himself ; and a Zimri that dvvelt in a Cottage before , comes to possess himself of the Royal Palace . Nay , God himself is concerned to see this Justice maintained in Commonwealths , and it is part of his Prerogative to preserve its Laws inviolable , so that it 's being lost in a Corporation , seems to reflect upon him ; and as it was he alone , that first taught Men to gather into Societies , so to let Oppression come among them , which is the Bane , that kills them , to a sensual Eye seems to be no small disparagement to his Providence .

  The first fruits of reason, or, A discourse shewing the necessity of applying our selves betimes to the serious practice of religion by Anthony Horneck ...

summary:
  Men give God but little encouragement to employ his miraculous power to convert them , when during the vigour of their age , they have mocked all his Stratagems , and defeated his Methods of Compassion , and whatever God hath done upon extraordinary occasions , and under extraordinary circumstances , we are assur'd by the Psalmist that he sware in his wrath , that they who had grieved him Forty years in the Wilderness should never enter into his rest , Psal. 95.10 , 11. 2. Except a man remember his Creator in the days of his youth , he is not in a likely way to compass all those graces which are fit and proper for a Candidate of Eternity . And is it not our greatest interest then to remember now in this our day the things which belong unto our peace ; to remember our Errours , that we may turn from them ; to remember our duties to God and man , that we may conscienciously discharge them ; to remember what our Creator , our Father , our greatest Benefactors requires of us ; to remember the Exhortations , the Entreaties , the Expostulations , the Adjurations of a merciful God , that the Great Jehovah may remember us in that day when he makes up his Jewels , and spare us as a man would spare his Son that serves him ?

summary:
  And what have we done , that we must not be counted a Catholick Church ? Is it because we will not receive things which the Church of Rome hath since added to the Catholick Faith ? Is it because we will not admit of the Doctrines which that Church was first induced to believe by the Darkness and Ignorance of the Ages it lived in , and at last loath to part withal for fear they should be thought to have been so long in an Error ? Is it because we will not yield to things which we apprehend to be directly against the Word of God , and destructive to that Catholick Faith the Christian World hath professed in all Ages ? When you had already begun to doubt , whether our Church were a true Church or no , because you found not that Satisfaction in it your sickly Desires wanted ; it was then an easie matter to give ear to confident People , that magisterially and peremptorily assured you , that you would find Satisfaction in their Church ; and being fed with this hope , your Inclinations to that Church grew stronger every day , as our Mother Eve , the hopes of being like God , suggested to her by the Serpent , did egg and spur her on to eat of the fatal Tree .

  Delight and judgment: or, a prospect of the great Day of Judgment and its power to damp, and imbitter sensual delights, sports, and recreations. By Anthony Horneck, D.D.

summary:
  The result of all , is this Proposition : That the prospect of a future Judgment , is enough to embitter all the sensual and carnal delights of Men , particularly of young Men , and to bring a damp upon the most Youthful , and most jovial temper imaginable : Not only the sense of the Text , I have already laid down imports so much , but there is this farther in it , that the wise Man seems to couch his argument plainly thus ; do but take a view of that dreadful Judgment , God is resolved to bring thy guilty Soul to , and thou wilt not dare to indulge thy self in the mad rejoycings of thy Youth , nor walk in the ways , and after the fancies of thy corrupted Heart , nor suffer thy wanton Eyes to fix on those objects , from which God hath bid thee turn thy Face away . Having to deal with Christians , at least with Men that profess themselves such , this query seems needless , for the Scripture which the Christian World pretends to believe to be derived from God , is full of passages of this Nature , and assures us , that this belief of a future Judgment is as ancient , as the Creation of the World ; For Enoch the seventh from Adam , who in all probability had it from his ancestors , Prophesied of these , saying , Behold the Lord cometh with Ten thousand of his Saints , to Execute Judgment upon all , and to convince all that are ungodly among them , of all their ungodly deeds , which they have ungodlily committed , and of their hard speeches , which ungodly sinners have spoken against him , Jude v. 14 , 15.

  The sirenes, or, Delight and judgment represented in a discourse concerning the great day of judgment and its power to damp and imbitter sensual delights, sports, and recreations / by Anthony Horneck ...

summary:
  Providence can be silent for a time ; but at last the sleeping Lion wakes , and roars so , that all the Beasts of the Field do tremble ; and Solomon , on whose Head the Candle of the Lord had shined so long , found that Light at last go out in a Snuff , and himself the Object of Gods wrath and indignation ; he found by sad experience , what it was to abuse the Wisdom God had bestowed upon him , how dangerous the Paths were he had walked in , what it was to pervert the End and Design of the Gifts of God ; and what darkness and confusion it brought upon Men , and that makes him impart this sad Memento to the Man who hath Blood , and Youth , and Strength enough to be vain and foolish ; Rejoyce , O young Man , in thy Youth , and let thy Heart chear thee in the days of thy Youth , &c. And how can we imagine , that the whole World , at least the wiser part of it , should so unanimously believe a future Judgment after this Life , if either there had not been a great propensity in their Nature , to believe the Notion , or Reason had not convinced them of the Certainty and Reality of the Thing : If we grant , that God hath given a Law to Man , we must necessarily grant , that there must be a Judge to call those to an account , who have violated and broke those Laws .
