when this Sun of Righteousness pleases to dart down the Beams of his Brightness what an Insufferable display of Light illuminats the Minds of Believers the Sable Clouds of ignorance are Rent in pieces and forced last and farr to flee away we already told the Enlighted Eye of the Believer is so furnished with New Light and a clear sight that he Discerns Spiritua● Things under other colours than befor● the Scales fell from his Eyes wherefore w● proceed no further in this point But sur● a Blind Man that hath his Eyes Opened cannot but perceive that some strange Affecting Operation hath pass●d upon him which will Print the Sense and Remembran●● thereof on his Thoughts for ever Was not Zecharias under great Impressions when he said what partly he Felt that the day spring or Sun rising as in the Margine of our Bibles from on high hath visited us to give Light to them that fit in darkness and in the shaddow of Death Luke 1.7.8.7 Must it not be a very Affecting Light that is called a Glorious Light or the Light of the Glorious Gospel of Christ which GOD Commandeth to shine into the Hearts of Believers 2 Cor 4.4 6. 3. Christ mightily affects the Sense of Smelling where ever this perfumed Prince cometh be sendeth such a fragrant smell through all the Ambient Air that whoever draw it at their Nostrils cannot but find it Never did a● bed of Roses nor a bundle or Posie of most fragrant Aromatick flowers yeild a more ravishing Scent than this Rose of Sharon this Lilly of the Valleys Song 2 1. Song 1.3 Because of the savour of his good Ointments His Name is as Ointment poured forth whereby Believers are raised and pressed in Soul to Love and admire Him and from His Odoriferous presence is it that all about Him smell strongly of him the Graces of Believers being stirred and perfumed by His Grace-giving Vertue Song 1.12 While the King sitteth at his Table my Spickenard sendeth forth the smell thereof Now O Communicants have ye not this day smelled Christ present at His Table have not your Spices fl●wed out are not your Graces more fresh and fragrant than before 4. Christ mightily aff●cts the sense of Touching when His Finger touches the heart when He puts in his hand by the hole of the door He makes a strange moving of the Bowels Son 5 4. O Christian didst thou never touch and feel Him by the Finger of Faith I hope thou hast and that thou canst experimentaly say that thou hast Touched him so Effectually and he hath Touched thee so Powerfullie that vertue hath gone out from him to Cure thy flux of Blood and to cleanse thy Leprosie Mar. 1.41 42 5.28 30. 5. Christ mightily Affects the sense of Teasting O Communicante while thou was this day Ea●ing His Flesh which is Meat indeed and Drinking His Blood which is Dri●k indeed had not this Heavenly Manna a more Delicious Taste then any Delicacie ever thou did'st Taste Hast thou not in the Sa●rament senceably Touched Tasted and handled sweet Christ I dare say that the sw●ete●● Carnal Gust that ever the most sen●ual E●icure f●und in his swinish fills of bodi●y plea●ures never came ne●r to be so swee● and ravishing as the Tastings of Christs ●piritual fruits and pleasures Song 2.3.4 5. I sat und●r under his shadow with great delight and his fruit was sweet to my taste ●e br●ught me to the Banquetting h●use and his Banner over me was Love stay me with flaggons comfort me with Aples for I am sick of Love We dare no● say she got a ●urf●it of Christ but we may ●ay she got a tastable fill of Christ for a surfeit occasions to soath and nauseate but the fill sh● got appetized her for Christ still more which may be gathered from the verses Immediatly and the Chapters after following where she passionatly longs she indefatigably paints and pursues after Christ And Peter hath a passage also to our purpose 1. Pet 2.3 If so be ye have tasted that the LORD is Gracious O Believer hast thou not tasted and felt the Lord to be Gracious in accepting and Answering thy Prayers in healing all thy Diseases in pardoning all thy sins in strengthning thee against all thy Temptations and Tribula●ions in bestowing liberally upon the many Love Tockens and Pledges of his fav●ur as fore●asts of Glory and an earnest ●f the future full I●heritance in Heaven I hope some of you understand in Experience what I say The 4 thing wherein Christ makes great Impressions is in raising high all the Affections this Discour●e would swell too big to sp●ak of all the several Aff●ctions and Passions of the Soul that Christ works upon therefore we will touch but at some few as a sample h●w far Christs Impressions g● 1. Christ raiseth into a flame the Affection ●f Love did not our H●arts burn within us saith the Text and its smal wonder our Love should enkindle towards him when we consider how much Lovely Christ in pure Love hath done and suffered for us But how can we moreover but be deeply enamoured with him when we look upon him as the Orient and Glorious Beauty of Heaven and Earth being the Brightness of his Fathers Glory and the Express Image of His Person All created Beauties are but faint and fading Resemblances to His matchless Comeliness He is the Beauty of ●aints ●he Admiration of Angels a●d the dearly beloved of GOD And this further Commands our Love to him that t●is ●xcelent Beauty is content to Cement and be United to such ugly souls as we a●e this Son of the Ki●g of Kings we are called and have Acc●ss to be Married unto and O when the Believer contemplates on this honourable and happy Match he is raised into Raptures of Love and Admira●ion where by his ravished soul is like to faint and expire in inflamed desires after Him Song 12. 5. stay me with flagons comfort me with Aples for I am sick of Love was not this a deep Impression the flame of Love made o● Her Hear● 2. Christ Raises the Affection of Spiritual hatred self Loathing and shame facedness with what Confusion is the Soul Perfused when he thought fully Recounts and Reviews all his Abominations when he looks on himself as ugglie and Loathsome in the sight of a Holy GOD at the same time also is he hateful and Loathsome in his own eyes and can't lift them up towards Heaven where Lesed Majesty Resides eve●ie look into His Innerman Forces sighs from his heart tears from his eyes complaints from his mouth a Smi●ing upon his Thighs and makes some pe●it●ntia● Impressi●ns on the whole man When Jobs eyes were opened He abhorred himself and Repented in dust and in ashes Job 42.5 6. When GOD's hand Reached E●●raim he Repented he Smote on his Thigh yea was ashamed yea even Confounded ver 31.19 When the self Abhorring publican was under a working sense of his guilt he stands a far off will
