I have therefore assumed the boldness to put so poor a testimony of those honorable affections which I owe unto you , and of that great love which I bear to the nam● of that good man , who was so dear unto you , into your hands ; as knowing withal how much the Argument of this Sermon would be acceptable unto you , who can experimentally subscribe to the excellency and use of that Learning which it pleadeth for , and as an eye and ear witness can attest the Character of that worthy pe●son , to whose Obsequ●es this last office of love was performed .

Being the day of solemne thanksgiving for the happy return of the Kings Majesty. / By Edward Reynolds D.D. and chaplain in ordinary to his Majesty.

summary:
  Now for a doctrine which taught men to deny themselves , to renounce the world , to take up a Cross , to suffer Afflictions , and follow Christ without the camp , bearing his reproach , for such a doctrine to prevaile over the world by twelve weak and naked men , upon the promise of things not seen , and the hopes of reward in another world , cannot be ascribed to the wisdom of man , but onely to the Spirit of God , by whom alone the weapons of our warfare are mighty . If Christ , and the Glory of his holy Ordinances , and spiritual worship be not more exalted ; If the sonnes of Levi be not purified , that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousnesse ; if the House of God be not purged of corruptions ; if pompe and splendor , and terrene interests be the things most passionately prosecuted , and the vitals and essentials of Religion , the great things of the Law , purity of Doctrine , spiritualnesse of Worship , power of Godliness but in the second place regarded : If we be zealous for mint and cummin , and philacteries and precepts of men , and have not a proportionable fervour of zeale for the Magnalia Dei : Certainly God will yet reckon with us , and call us to an account for all the blood which hath been shed , for all the Treasure which hath been exhausted , for all the Judgements and mercies , for all the providences and wonders which have been expended upon us .

  Imitation and caution for Christian woman: or, The life and death of that excellent gentlewoman, Mrs. Mary Bewley; who departed this life (her only son having finished his course the 9th. of December before) on the first of Febr. 1652/3. Recommended to the reader, by the reverend and eminently learned Doctor Reynolds.

summary:
  She was humble , though naturally of a high spirit ; often concealed her parts , and preferred others in love , neither provoking nor envying others , nor thinking her self to be something when she was nothing ; and of this grace of humility , take this her own meditation written at large ; Humility is a rare and singular grace , doth admirably adorn a Christian ; for if wisdome make the face to shine , then with the lowly there is wisdome ; it is like the gold and enamel about the precious Diamond , sets it off with a magnificent lustre ; it hath the promise of addition ; an humble soul is an habitation for a holy God ; and the Creator delights to dwell with the humble creature , and the Redeemer will save the humble person ; for he humbled himself that sinners may be exalted ; and if they humble themselves , he hath promised to exalt them ; for honour shall uphold the humble in spirit ; as pride is an harbinger to destruction , so humility is a conduct to honour ; great are the in-comes of an humble soul , riches , honour and life ; and excellent their priviledges ; for the Lord hears the desire of the humble , and forgets not their cry ; they shall be taught the way of God , and guided by him in judgment ; for the Lord hath respect to the lowly , and he lifteth up the meek , and they shall inherit the earth ; good tydings shall be preached to them , and they shall increase their joy among men ; for the Lord will beautifie them with salvation ; therefore who would not be cloathed with that shining garment of humility ? She lost appetite to her food , and sleep departed from her eyes , and by day she neither could nor would use any diversions , and took but too little comfort in the mercies God had left her ; was full of thoughts , and had few words , * all which made way for her sicknesse and death , which was a malignant feaver , and vapours of the mother , followed with convulsion fits : The last thing then to be spoken to , is , Her sicknesse and death ; On the first assault of her sicknesse she apprehended death would follow , and that which she had more than once ( too hastily ) desired , would now in earnest make speed : Therefore her first and greatest care was ( setting now aside all thoughts of her son ; for God will whip his own out of their sins ) to settle the affairs of her everlasting peace , and to secure all things 'twixt God and her soul : Her nexr work was to review her five weeks carriage under her affliction , upon which she sorrowed most of all that she had not glorified God more in her suffering , that she , wearied of life , had been so thoughtful about her sons death , and that the consolations which were administred to her , had done her no more good , and that by neglect of her body and lawful diversions , she had made way for this her painful sickness : wherein she saw the vanity of her former anxiety concerning her sons death ; for those medicines which ( prudently ) were omitted to him , were administred to her self ; and did only help her to dye the more sensibly , and with the more pain : she exhorted others to learn by her example , to beware of setting their hearts on any creature , and that they would strive to glorifie God while they live , that they would redeem their time , and make their acquaintance and peace with God before they lye down on their death-bed .

  The author and subject of healing in the church set forth in a sermon preached before the Right Honorable the Parliament of England at St. Margarets Church in Westminster, on Wednesday, April 25, 1660, being the day of their assembly / by Dr. Edward Reynolds ...

summary:
  The words contain a gracious and discriminating mercy unto an holy remnant that feared Gods name , for their supportance and comfort against the terror of the foregoing threatning , that unto them the Sun of Righteousness , the promised Messiah , should arise in his Incarnation with healing in his wings ; and when grosse darkness did cover the people , and they did sit even in the shadow of death , not only veiled over with the Shadows and 〈◊〉 of the Law , 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 misled by the 〈◊〉 glosses of S●…ibes and Pharisees , sold and devoured by their own shepherds , wofully oppressed under Alexander , Janneus , Hircanus , Aristobulus , sub●…ued by Pompey into the form of a Roman Province , and then sorely afflicted under the Tyranny of Antipater and Herod ; that after such a night of darkness and distress , the promised Messiah should come to break the yoke and rod of their oppressor , and assert his people into Light and Liberty again . 1. The discriminating grace of God between a Remnant that feared his name , and the body of a co●…upt and prophane people .

summary:
  Never any believer found any thing in him , for the which to repent of making choice of him ; as holy Polycarp said , I have served him these eightysix years , and he never did me any hurt ; even the severest things of Christ are matter of joy unto his servants : If he make them sorrowful , their sorrow is turned into joy , Iohn 16. 20. Thus we see there is nothing necessary to the compleating of an object of joy , which is not fully to be found in Christ .

  A sermon touching the peace and edification of the church preached at the second triennial visitation of the right reverend father in God, Francis Lord Bishop of Peterborough, at Daventry in Northamptonshire, July 12. 1637 / by Edvvard Reynolds ...

summary:
  There is in the nature of many men a certain 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , an heat and activeness of spirit , which then principally , when conversant about Objects divine and matters of Conscience , is wonderfull apt , without a due corrective of wisdome and knowledge , to break forth into intemperate carriage and to disturbe Peace .

  Self-deniall opened and applyed in a sermon before the Reverend Assembly of Divines on a day of their private humiliation / by Edward Reynolds ...

summary:
  As the people of Christ , let us be exhorted , I. To take heed of that sin which is formally opposite unto Self-denial , as a sin most pernicious and obstructive to salvation , which is the sin of Self-love , or self-estimation ; a most comprehensive and seminal lust , which lies at the root of every other sin : for , unto the formality of every sin belongeth an inordinate conversion of a creature unto it self , and therefore it is set by the Apostle as Commander in chief in the head of a whole Regiment of sins , 2 Tim. 3. 1 , 5. It branches it self into two great sins , Self-seeking , as an end , and Self-depending , as a means unto that end , ( for , he that worketh for himself , will work from himself too . ) Self-seeking , when men neither regard the Will and Call of God , nor the need and good of man , but are wholly taken up in serving their own wills and desires , Seeking their own things , and not the things of Iesus Christ , Phil. As a stone will fall down to its natural place by its own inclination , as soon as the impressed force which carried it upward is worn out ; and water will reduce it self unto its natural coldness , if fire be not constantly kept under it .

  Evgenia's teares for Great Brittaynes distractions, or, Some slender observations reflecting on those sad times written by E.R.

summary:
  O Saeclum insipiens & infacotum ! And certainly where all reverence is thus laid aside , devotion will at last grow cold ; and I thinke in time it will be easier to finde out the ●pecies and kindes of nature , then the Sects of this age ▪ mistake me not , I censure not all 〈◊〉 H●cks , whi● are not O●thodox , neither condemne all to be Schismatickes because some fall out to ●e facti●us in Israel ; but where pride and discontent meet with novelty good parts wi●h imp●dencie , and ignorance with pretended Sanctitie , there division mu●t needes 〈◊〉 defect , as union is the Author of Beauty and blessednesse : Then onely will the Church be most happy when truth and peace shall kisse each other , truth without Peace being but turbulent , and peace without truth but a secure injustice ; the glorified Spirits have but one , uniforme worke , wherein they all ioyne the prayse of their Creator : showing that the beauty of order , and the band of vnity must be our double support : why then should we uncessantly entangle our selves with selfe-will'd extravagancies , which argues a mind full fraught with wind-puft conceites , still floting up and downe the superficies of giddy braynes , which are ever governd by the instabillity of a private fantacie ; and doth not the desease exasperate by the Iealousie of the debate ; like that silly Bird which perceiving fire neere her young ones , seekes to blow it out with her wing● so long till she burn ; and make here selfe a Prey in an unwise pitty , so the wofull experience of those times showes that such as indiscreetly meddle with the flame of discention ( kindled in the Church ) rather increase then quench it ; Some will be nought but Ceremonie , and hold fast the bowes whilst they leave the body ; others out of too high a conceit of themselves ( affecting nothing but singularity ) disdayne to goe in the right roade , and through discontent ( at la● ) reject all contradiction ; both which like indiscree●e ●avellers ) have per●ce taken the fairest , but not the nearest way to the●r jour●ies end ; then doth ●t not highly concerne the present assembled body of this Kingdome to direct , and track out such a way , as on the one side may be strongly hedg'd from all superstition , and on the ot●er fenced from affected ignorance ; the distempers of this sort are almost growne immedicable v●lnus , crying out to all those which passe by , whither ever any sorrow or distraction were like that of this Church , for which there is great greife in Sion ; alas !

  The staves of beauty & bands opened in a sermon preached at Yarmovth, August 23, 1663 / by Edward, Lord Bishop of Norwich.

summary:
  Love is the Vehiculum of all that help and service which one Christian man deriveth upon another ; hereby we x serve one another , and y edifie one another ; we bear with the infirmities , sustain the burdens , and rejoyce in the comforts , mourn in the sorrows , distribute to the necessities , pray for the souls of one another ; By this means the graces of the Church are more bright and resplendent , as the flame which ariseth out of united fewel , is much greater then that which each stick alone by it self doth render ; and hence it is that the servants of God do z love the habitation of his house , and the place where his honor dwelleth , a assembling themselves there together with one accord , because he hath promised b that in every place where he recordeth his name , he will come unto them , and bless them : and by this means there were added to the Church daily such as should be saved . 1. Light and Luster ; for as a great part of the Corporal Beauty is in the life and vigour of the eye , so of spiritual Beauty in the clarity and brightness of the mind ; when the Lord , a who commanded the Light to shine out of Darkness , shineth in our Hearts , to give the light of the knowledge of the Glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ ; as the Sun is the greatest Beauty of the visible world , so Christ , as a b Sun of Righteousness , by the c Excellency of his knowledge , is the glory and beauty of the invisible .
