and that he may harden his Children in their Sins and damp the Resolutions of weak Christians in Godliness Oh! how should this stir up the Hearts and Hands of all that have any Love to Christ to be pressing on so much the more in the Practice of true Godliness redeeming the Time because the Days are evil that the World may see that Christ hath yet a few Names in Sardis that do walk with him in white and have not defiled their Garments as the most have done Have other Churches their Spots upon them How should you get your Garments washed in the Bloud of the Lamb Are other Churches publickly Scandalous Earthly-minded walking with a proud and haughty Spirit Oh! how should you labour to regain the lost Honour of Christ again in labouring after a more heavenly frame of Spirit in being meek holy and humble in the sight of all Men Oh! that you would consider this that Jesus Christ was never more wounded in the House of his Friends than at this Day Oh! if you have any Love for Christ labour to heal these Wounds again by adorning the Doctrine of God and your Saviour with your holy Conversations Oh! forget not what a large Portion he hath given you in his Bloud and what a good Inheritance he hath purchased for you by his Bloud let him have the Fruit of it which is a holy Conversation John 15. 8. Herein is my Father glorified that you bear much Fruit. 2d Vse Have the Houses of Christ been hitherto subject to their Defilements and Pollutions Learn hence then by Faith and Prayer to hasten on those happy Times which the Word of Prophesie faith are yet to come upon the Churches of Christ in this Life when these spiritual Habitations of his shall no more be troubled with these leprous Defilements and Pollutions in this World There is one Prophesie which I shall mention for all the rest Psal 102. 13. with 16 Ver. Thou shalt arise and have mercy upon Zion for the time to favour her yea the set-time is come When the Lord shall build up Zion he will appear in his Glory I grant that this Prophesie partly had its fulfilling in the Jews Redemption out of their seventy Years Captivity by Cyrus and in the building of the second Temple by Nehemiah but this was not the utmost extent of the Prophesie which clearly points to the latter times of the Gospel-churches even when as in Ver. 22 of this Psal The People are gathered together and the Kingdoms to serve the Lord. Which time John the Divine placeth after the great Rent that shall be made in Antichrist's Kingdom Rev. 11. 13. and then he tells you in Ver. 15. that the Kingdoms of this World are become the Kingdoms of the Lord and of his Christ and he shall Reign for ever and ever so that then and not till then may we expect the full Accomplishment of this Prophesie in this 102 Psal Ver. 13 with 16. Certainly this must needs be a glorious Work and a very glorious Day when the Lord shall arise to build Zion himself but although it be said that God will build Zion himself we are not to understand it in opposition to the use of outward Means or humane Instruments which God hath formerly used in this Work no but comparatively such will the marvelous Presence of his Glory be which he will then attend those withal which he will employ in this Work of building his Zion as if God had never had a Hand in the Work before which will make the Work exceeding excellent and glorious in four Respects beyond whatever the Churches were adorned with before First For Beauty and Glory in the Eyes of the World Isa 54. 11 12. Oh thou afflicted and tossed with tempest and not comforted behold I will lay thy Stones with fair Colours and lay thy Foundations with Saphires I will make thy Windows of Agates and thy Gates ●f Carbuncles and all thy Borders of pleasant Stones Secondly This Work of building Zion will be marvelous for Light and Knowledge in Mysteries of Faith about our Redemption and Justification by Jesus Christ together with those lesser Points about which the Churches heretofore have been so apt to disagree Isa 60. 19. The Sun shall be no more thy Light by Day neither for Brightness shall the Moon give Light unto thee but the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting Light So Isa 29. 18. And in that Day shall the Deaf hear the Words of the Book and the Blind shall see out of Obscurity and out of Darkness Thirdly This Work will be as marvelous for Peace and Quietness to the Churches who have enjoyed very little of this in the Ages of the World heretofore indeed for a spurt or a short space of time we have found that the Churches of Christ have had s●me silence in their heavenly Places for the space of half an Hour Rev. 8. 1. some short breathing some little freedom from Persecution but their Clouds have soon returned upon them again after the Rain Oh! but when the Lord shall arise to build Zion himself then Violence shall no more be heard in their Land nor Wasting and Destruction within their Borders but they shall call their Walls Salvation and the Gates Praise Isa 60. 18. Fourthly When the Lord shall arise to build Zion the Work will be firmly and lastingly done tho' the former Builders were gracious and godly Men yet how quickly have their Work tumbled down again David and Solomon which builded the Temple and City of Zion at first and though they were holy and wise Men yet their Building stood not long after them And the like we read of Nehemiah Ezra and Zerubbabel Men of great Wisdom and Integrity who were Builders of the City and Temple of Zion a second time but alas how soon did the Romans demolish their Work again But when God shall arise to build Zion himself the Work shall surely stand for ever as that no Sanballet or Tobiah shall be able to obstruct it nor no Nebuchadnezzar or Roman Titus shall ever be able to pull down this Work to the World's end Isa 4. 5. And the Lord will create upon every Dwelling-place of Mount Zion and upon her Assemblies a Cloud and a Smoak by Day and the Shining of a flaming Fire by Night for upon all the Glory shall be a Defence Oh that we could get such a sight of this glorious Work by Faith as might put us upon the hastning of it into the World by Prayer Last Vse In the mean time until this glorious Work comes into the World let what hath been said about i● serve to make us who may never live to see this glorious Day but must yet remain amongst the Churches of Christ so subject yet to their Defilements and Pollutions let the Thoughts of it make Heaven the more desirable to us Oh! think often upon the Purity of that new Jerusalem which is above and comfort your selves
