the heart and partly out of hope of the reward to to come yea wée are joyfull in tribulation Rom. 5.3 In the holy Ghost It is called righteousnesse in the holy Ghost peace in the holy Ghost joy in the holy Ghost 1. to shew that the holy Ghost is the effici●●● cause o● thes● Heavenly graces ●● our soules 2. to destinguish Ch●i●●●an righteousnesse peace and ●●● from carnall worldly and unc●●stant For the Kingdome of God is j●● in the Holy Ghost Great is the joy and unspeakeable the consolation of euery live●● member of Christ when a poo●● soule shall see himselfe delivered from sinne and Hell and made just and righteous in the Lord Jesus and reconciled with God and given now to sée his name written in the Booke of Heaven O what cause is there of joy No marvayle therefore if the twelve men joyed and joyed and joyed and joyed when they found by the starre the Lord Jesus Mat. 2.10 They rejoyced with an excéeding great joy they rejoyced they rejoyced with joy they rejoyced with great joy they rejoyced with an exceeding great joy No mervaile therefore if the Apostle bids us rejoyce in the Lord alwayes and againe saith hee rejoyce therefore great is the joy of the beleever Our Saviour when hée saw the Apostles overjoyd in the casting out of Devills said rejoyce not in this that Devills are subdued unto you but rejoyce in this that your names are written in the Booke of life this is the ground of true joy This joy Mary was filled with My spirit rejoceth in God my Saviour This is the joy that every Christian more or lesse injoyeth and sometime or other comfortably and swéetely séeteth This Heavenly joy differeth from worldly joy in these foure 1. Worldly joy is naturall this joy is spirituall 2 Worldly joy ariseth from externall things this joy ariseth from God love remission of sinne assurance of life everlasting 3. Worldly joy makes men secure this joy maketh a man serve God more earnestly and perfectly 4. Worldly joy fadeth in adversity this joy makes us rejoyce in tribulation under the hope of salvation Rom. 5.3 I never felt this joy in mée may some object and yet I hope I am as good a Christian as others Ans If it bée hidden it is hidden to them that are lost This is Abscondita Manna hidden Manna Revel 2.17 It is onely knowne to them that injoy it and to them that are elected It is Gods owne wine laid up in Gods owne Cellers for Gods owne Spouse the wicked of the World shall never lick their lipps of it 1. O let us begge of God for this joy this joy is Heaven upon Earth this joy is the earnest of our Heavenly inheritance this joy is the injoyment of Gods backparts this joy if it bee perfited in us is no lesse than life everlasting Davids suite above all other was for this ioy Psal 4. The greater sort crave worldly goods and riches doe imbrace but Lord shew mee thy countenance thy favour and thy grace For thou thereby shalt make my heart more ioyfull and more glad than they that of their Corne and Wine full great increase have had Thus Moses prayed upon the Mount Exod. 33.18 Lord shew mée thy glory The Lord grant us this ioy unspeakeable and glorious which the world can neither give nor take away Ioh. 16.22 This your ioyshall no man take from you that wée tasting of the Heavenly comforts in the way may enter into our Masters ioy in the end with that blessed welcome enter thou into the ioy of the Lord. Vse 2 2. Hée that hath tasted in any measure of this Heavenly Nectar let him blesse GOD for these comforts for these reioycings are given but to few LORD what is man that thus thou shouldst reioyce him or the best of the sonnes of men that thus in mercy thou shouldst ioy them Vse 3 3. No life so comfortable as the Christian life it is full of peace and ioy there is never an holy duety holy performed but brings meate in the mouth with it ioy unspeakeable When wée pray how are our soules refreshed When wée preach and heare the holy Word of GOD our hearts many times leape in our bellies for ioy The worldling thinkes otherwise of it It is true to respect the outward condition of a Christian it is very miserable therefore Paul saith 1. Cor. 15.19 If in this life onely wee had our hope and our hap of all men Christians were most miserable But to respect the inward estate of a Christian it is most ioyfull and comfortable The sufferings of this life are not worthy of the ioyes that are here and in Heaven prepared for us There is ioyntly ioy and iointly sorrow in every Christian sorrow uppon sinnes commission but ioy upon sinnes remission sorrow because by our sinnes wée have killed Christ but ioy because by his stripes wée are healed Heb. 12.11 There is no afliction but is grievous There is the part of sorrow but it brings the quiet fruit of righteousnesse There is the part of ioy and gladnesse The Kingdome of God is joy in the holy Ghost Vse 4 4. If the estate of a Christian bee so ioyous then surely the condition of the wicked is restlesss and terrible horrour attends the wicked conscience here and hell hereafter The very wicked in Hell confesse no lesse Wisedome 5 Wée have wearied our selves in the wayes of wickednesse wée have gone dangerous wayes the way of peace wée have not knowne What hath pride proffited us or what hath the pompe of riches done us good The Lord grant that wée may fly all sinne and wickednesse for there is no peace to the wicked saith the Lord. Vse 5 5. Lastly if Gods people have such joy distilled and dropped into their soules here in this World of sorrow in this body of sinne O what are the ioyes prepared in Heaven for them that love and feare him neither eye hath séene nor care hath heard neither can the heart of man conceive or imagine of the joyes which the Lord hath prepared in Heaven for them that love him There is great tranquility tranquill felicity happy eternity everlasting blessednesse and the blessed trinity ô gaudium super gaudium extra quod non est gaudium quando intrabo in te ut Deum meum videam qui habitat in te O ioy above all ioyes without which there is no ioy when shall I enter into thée that I may sée my God that dwelleth in thée To which most blessed ioyes of the Kingdome of Heaven the Lord bring us all at the day of our departure for Jesus Christs sake our onely Lord and Saviour To whom with GOD the Father and God the holy Ghost bée ascribed all glory and honour power praise and dominion for ever and ever Amen FINIS Imprimatur modo intra duos Menses Rob.
