Mr. Lye's Second Sermon, Aug. 17. 1662.
Phil. 4.1. Therefore my Brethren, dearly Beloved and longed for, my Joy and Crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly Beloved.
From this Scripture you have these three Doctrines, 1. That the highest Officers of the Church of Christ, though they are Rulers of them, yet they are but brethren to the meanest Saints. 2. That it becomes a true spiritual Minister of Christ, to have a most vehement, ardent, strong, melting, tender affection, to that flock or people which the providence of God hath committed to his charge. 3. That the fixed, standing, flourishing, and thriving of that flock in the profession and practice of Gospel-knowledge and obedience, is matter of transcendent joy and triumph to such a godly Pastor. The fourth, which is that I would now prosecute, is this, That it is the grand and indispensable duty of all sincere Saints, in the most black and shaking seasons, to stand fast, fixed, and steadfast in the Lord.
