wrath of God yea of the pure wine which is powred into the cup of his wrath and shal be tormented in fire and brimstone before the face of the Lambe c. Wherefore let vs learne this for our instruction and comfort that wee follow not the wicked to sin for fear of their plagues but continue in the obedience of the Lord that wee may be sure of that stay and comfort which is here promised to the faithfull Howbeit if there were no more comfort but this that our enimies should bee punished more then we it were not enough to countervaile the heavinesse of the crosse which in the mean while the godly must beare The Prophet goeth farther and raiseth vs vp higher in strong consolation setting before our eies the infinite ioies which the godly shal e●…e when being delivered from all afflictions they shall triumph over their enimies VERSE 17. 18. 17 But vpon mount Sion shal be deliverance and it shall be holy and the house of Iacob shall possesse their possessions 18 And the house of Iacob shal be a fire and the house of Ioseph a flame and the house of Esau stubble they shall kindle in them and devour them and there shal be no remnant of the house of Esau for the Lord hath spoken it THE first sense and meaning of these words is that the Ievves which should be carried captiue to Babylon should returne again to their owne land and destroie the Idumeans By mount Sion the fortresse of Ierusalem the beauty of Iewrie is meant all the land of Iudea and there by all the people By these wordes then but vpon mount Sion c. The Prophet meant that the Iewes should be delivered out of captivitie clensed frō their sinnes become holy righteous reposs●…sse their possessions and by adding that the house of Iacob should be a fire c. and Esau stubble that they should bee kin●…led and burne and be consumed till none were left aliue and that the Iewes with the Israelites should destroy the I dumeans even as the flame and fire consumeth the stubble till none be left which the Prophet sealeth with this infallible marke the Lord hath spoken it As it hath beene said before that the temporal things in the old Testament are figures vnto vs of things spirituall so is there in these words another further mea ning then that which I haue opened namely that the Church of GOD shall at length bee delivered from bondage and clensed from sinne ēdued with holines and so recover that everlasting inheritance which they were deprived of and that they shall adiudge the wicked vngodly all their enimies vnto eternal fire whereby they shall all be consumed And in this sense is that liuely doctrine fully verified which in the other is not so fully Wherein as in a picture slenderly shadowing the lineaments some part only is obscurely expressed For although the Iewes after their returne conquered the Edomites yet were they not consumed as that none of them remained For Iosephus writeth that some leved even at the sacking of Ierusalem to ●…indle and set on fire the Iewes Wherefore the especiall meaning of this place is that the Church of GOD shall be delivered from the captivitie wherein it is held endued with holines inherite heaven whence they were exiled their inheritance and consume till none of them be left because the Lord hath said it The Church of God therefore that is all the godly shall be delivered the enimies from whom their sins the chaines and bands from which they shall bee loosed are the paines and torments due vnto sinne These cords are loosed when wee beleeue and embrace the Gospell wherein Christ Iesus is preached vnto vs who saveth vs from our sinnes and from the consequents of our sinnes and as they who were caried away captiues returned to their possessions who were content to receiue the proclamation of Cyrus so all such as vpon the proclamation of Christs Gospell receiue and embrace the same are most sure to be delivered This deliverance is to returne back from Babylon to Ierusalem that is from the captivitie and slaverie of this world to the kingdome of heaven In those which are thus to be delivered there is required holines of life For so also it is said in the gospell that we are delivered from our sinnes to serue God in holinesse c. and it shall be well saith the Prophet but to whom to the iust and holy not the wicked prophane to such as are careful to performe their duty towards GOD and man to such as sanctifie the Lord in their soule and bodie There is a book of remembrance written before the LORD but it is for them that feared him thought vpon the Lord there is life for them that seek immortalitie and glorie c. Let vs then assure our selues that if we meane to attaine deliverance and the fruit thereof the repossessing of our inheritance wee must be holy and iust yer we bee delivered from the hands c. For although it may be that some of them were not holy at such time as they were dispossessed yet needs must they be holy before they can possesse them againe Such were some of you saith Paul but yee are washed let this then be especially noted of vs that none can receiue the crowne but such as fight The possessions are the kingdome of heaven w●…ich wee possesse by inheritance No Canaanite or polluted person cā enter into the Lords inheritance into the kindome of heavē And as the godly are delivered so is there another benefit promised thē namely that for their sakes the wicked shal be consumed For it is said the house of Iacob shal be fire Where first we may note the Emphaticall speach whē he saith the house of Iacob shal be a fire when he meaneth that it shal be like the name of the thing as it is vsuall being put for that which is Resembled to it Which indeed were not worthy the noting but for the fanaticall Imagination of Transubstātiation which they wil needes proue for that it is said This is my body whence they conclude that therefore it is his body indeed But so might we hence also gather that the house of Iacob was fire indeed c. For all mysticall speeches bee not like to that of our Saviour yet this is common to them that the names of the signes are given to the thing signified so Christ is called a Vine his Father a husbandman his Disciples branches and if the Papists had had any occasion to maintaine any errour on this place of the Prophet as they haue vpon that of our Saviour they might hence with greater shew haue gathered that Edom was transubstantiated into stubble for that it is in the Hebrew that Edom shall not only be stubble but into stubble For their owne Schoolemen confesse that those words of Christ doe not proue that the bread becommeth
