of it as wherein our Souls have been satisfied and refreshed It is declared and represented unto us as one of the chief Props of our Faith as an Help of our Joy as an Object of our Hope as a Ground of our Consolation as our greatest Encouragement unto Obedience and Suffering Are our Minds every day conversant with Thoughts hereof Or do we think our selves not much concerned herein Do we look upon it as that which is without us and above us as that which we shall have time enough to consider when we come to Heaven So is it with many They care neither where Christ is nor what he is so that one way or other they may be saved by him They hope as they pretend that they shall see him and his Glory in Heaven and that they suppose to be time enough But in vain do they pretend a Desire thereof in vain are their Expectations of any such thing They who endeavor not to behold the Glory of Christ in this World as hath been often said shall never behold him in glory hereafter unto their Satisfaction nor do they desire so to do Only they suppose it a part of that Relief which they would have when they are gone out of this World For what should beget such a Desire in them Nothing can do it but some View of it here by Faith which they despise or totally neglect Every Pretence of a Desire of Heaven and of the Presence of Christ therein that doth not arise from that is not resolved into that Prospect which we have of the Glory of Christ in this World by Faith is mere Fancy and Imagination OUR constant Exercise in Meditation on this Glory of Christ will fill us with Joy on his Account which is an effectual Motive unto the Duty it self We are for the most part Selfish and look no farther than our own Concernments So we may be pardoned and saved by him we care not much how it is with himself but only presume it is well enough We find not any Concernment of our own therein But this Frame is directly opposite unto the Genius of Divine Faith and Love For their principal Actings consist in preferring Christ above our selves and our Concerns in him above all our own Let this then stir us up unto the Contemplation of this Glory Who is it that is thus exalted over all Who is thus encompassed with Glory Majesty and Power Who is it that sits down at the Right Hand of the Majesty on high all his Enemies being made his Foot-stool Is it not he who in this World was poor despised persecuted and slain all for our Sakes Is it not the same Jesus who loved us and gave himself for us and washed us in his own Blood So the Apostle told the Jews that the same Jesus whom they slew and hanged on a Tree God had exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour to give Repentance unto Israel and the forgiveness of sins Act. 5. 30 31. If we have any valuation of his Love if we have any concernment in what he hath done and suffered for the Church we cannot but rejoyce in his present State and Glory LET the World rage whilest it pleaseth let it set it self with all its Power and Craft against every thing of Christ that is in it which whatever is by some otherwise pretended proceeds from an hatred unto his Person Let Men make themselves drunk with the blood of his Saints we have this to oppose unto all their attempts unto our supportment Namely what he says of himself Fear not I am the first and the last he that liveth and was dead and behold I am alive for evermore and have the Keys of Hell and Death Rev. 1. 16 18. BLESSED Jesus We can add nothing to thee nothing to thy Glory but it is a Joy of heart unto us that thou art what thou art that thou art so gloriously exalted at the right hand of God and do long more fully and clearly to behold that Glory according to thy Prayer and Promise CHAP. VIII Representations of the Glory of the Christ under the Old Testament IT is sâ—id of our Lord Jesus Christ that beginning at Moses and all the Prophets he declared unto his Disciples in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself Luk. 24. 27. It is therefore manifest that Moses and the Prophets and all the Scriptures do give Testimony unto him and his Glory This is the line of Life and Light which runs through the whole Old Testament without the conduct whereof we can understand nothing aright therein And the neglect hereof is that which makes many as blind in reading the Books of it as are the Jews the same vail being upon their minds It is Faith alone discovering the Glory of Christ that can remove that vail of darkness which covers the minds of men in reading the Old Testament as the Apostle declares 2 Cor. 3. 14 15 16. I shall therefore consider briefly some of those ways and means whereby the glory of Christ was represented unto Believers under the Old Testament 1. IT was so in the Institution of the Beautiful Worship of the Law with all the means of it Herein have they the Advantage above all the splendid Ceremonies that men can invent in the outward worship of God they were designed and framed in Divine Wisdom to represent the Glory of Christ in his Person and his Office This nothing of Human Invention can do or once pretend unto Men cannot create Mysteries nor give unto any thing natural in it self a Mystical signification But so it was in the Old Divine Institutions What were the Tabernacle and Temple What was the Holy Place with the Utensils of it What was the Oracle the Ark the Cherubims the Mercy-Seat placed therein What was the High-Priest in all his Vestments and Administrations What were the Sacrifices and annual sprinkling of Blood in the most Holy Place What was the most whole Systeme of their Religious Worship Were there any thing but Representations of Christ in the Glory of his Person and his Office They were a Shadow and the Body represented by that shadow was Christ. If any would see how the Lord Christ was in particular foresignified and represented in them he may peruse our Exposition on the ninth Chapter of the Epistle unto the Hebrews where it is handled so at large as that I shall not here again insist upon it The Sum is Moses was faithful in all the House of God for a Testimony of those things which mere to be spoken afterwards Heb. 3. 5. All that Moses did in the erection of the Tabernacle and the institution of all its services was but to give an antecedent Testimony by way of Representation unto the Things of Christ that were aftewards to be revealed And that also was the substance of the Ministry of the Prophets 1 Pet. 1. 11 12. The dark apprehensions of the Glory of Christ which
way or manner of its accomplishment But now when every word of it is explained declared and its Mystical Sence visibly laid open unto us in the Gospel and by the accomplishment exactly answering every expression in it it is Judicial Blindness not to receive it Nothing but the Satanical Pride of the hearts of men which will admit of no effects of Infinite Wisdom but what they suppose they can comprehend can shut their eyes against the Light of this Truth 6. PROMISES Prophesies Praedictions concerning his Person his coming his Office his Kingdom and his Glory in them all with the Wisdom Grace and Love of God to the Church in him are the Line of Life as was said which runs through all the Writings of the Old Testament and take up a great portion of them Those were the things which he expounded unto his Disciples out of Moses and all the Prophets Concerning these things he appealed to the Scriptures against all his adversaries Search the Scriptures for they are they that testifie of me And if we find them not if we discern them not therein it is because a vail of Blindness is over our minds Nor can we read study or meditate on the Writings of the Old Testament unto any Advantage unless we design to find out and behold the Glory of Christ declared and represented in them For want hereof they are a sealed book to many unto this day 7. IT is usual in the Old Testament to set out the Glory of Christ under Metaphorical Expressions yea it aboundeth therein For such Allusions are exceedingly suited to let in a sense into our minds of those things which we cannot distinctly comprehend And there is an Infinite Condescention of Divine Wisdom in their way of Instruction Representing unto us the Power of Things Spiritual in what we naturally discern Instances of this kind in calling the Lord Christ by the Names of those Creatures which unto our senses represent that Excellency which is spiritually in him are innumerable So he is called the Rose for the sweet savour of his Love Grace and Obedience the Lilly for his gracious Beauty and Amiableness the Pearl of Price for his worth for to them that believe he is precious the Vine for his fruitfulness the Lion for his Power The Lamb for his Meekness and Fitness for Sacrifice with other things of the like kind almost innumerable THESE Things have I mentioned not with any design to search into the depth of this Treasury of those Divine Truths concerning the Glory of Christ but only to give a little Light unto the words of the Evangelist that he opened unto his disciples out of Moses and all the Prophets the things which concerned himself and to stir up our own souls unto a contemplation of them as contained therein CHAP. IX The Glory of Christ in his intimate Conjunction with the Church VVHAT concerns the Glory of Christ in the Mission of the Holy Ghost unto the Church with all the Divine truths that are branched from it I have at large declared in my Discourse concerning the whole dispensation of the Holy Spirit Here therefore it must have no place amongst those many other things which offer themselves unto our contemplation as part of this Glory or intimately belonging thereunto I shall insist briefly on Three only which cannot be reduced directly unto the former heads AND the first of these is That intimate Conjunction that is between Christ and the Church whence it is just and equal in the sight of God according unto the Rules of his Eternal Righteousness that what he did and suffered in the Discharge of his Office should be esteemed reckoned and imputed unto us as unto all the fruits and benefits of it as if we had done and suffered the same things our selves For this conjunction of his with us was an act of his own Mind and Will wherein he is ineffably glorious THE Enemies of the glory of Christ and of his Cross do take this for granted That there ought to be such a conjunction between the guilty person and him that suffers for him as that in him the guilty person may be said in some sense to undergo the punishment himself But then they affirm on the other hand That there was no such conjunction between Christ and sinners none at all but that he was a man as they were men and otherwise that he was at the greatest distance from them all as it is possible for one man to be from another Socin de Servat lib. 3. cap. 3. The falseness of this latter Assertion and the gross ignorance of the Scripture under a pretence of subtilty in them that make it will evidently appear in our ensuing Discourse THE Apostle tells us 1 Pet. 2. 24. That in his own self he bare our sins in his own body on the tree and chap. 3. 18. That he suffered for sin the just for the unjust that he might bring us unto God But this seems somewhat strange unto Reason where is the Justice where is the Equity that the just should suffer for the unjust Where is Divine Righteousness herein For it was an act of God The Lord hath laid on him the iniquites of us all Isa. 53. 6. The Equity hereof with the grounds of it must be here a little enquired into FIRST of all it is certain that all the Elect the whole Church of God fell in Adam under the curse due to the transgression of the Law It is so also that in this curse Death both Temporal and Eternal was contained This curse none could undergo and be saved Nor was it consistent with the Righteousness or Holiness or Truth of God that sin should go unpunished Wherefore there was a necessity upon a supposition of Gods Decree to save his Church of a Translation of punishment namely from them who had deserved it and could not bear it unto one who had not deserved it but could bear it A SUPPOSITION of this Translation of punishment by Divine dispensation is the foundation of Christian Religion yea of all supernatural Revelation contained in the Scripture This was first intimated in the first promise and afterwards explained and confirmed in all the institutions of the Old Testament For although in the Sacrifices of the Law there was a revival of the greatest and most fundamental principal of the Law of Nature namely That God is to be worshipped with our best yet the principal end and use of them was to represent this translation of punishment from the offender unto another who was to be a Sacrifice in his stead THE reasons of the equity hereof and the unspeakable glory of Christ herein is what we now enquire into And I shall reduce what ought to be spoken hereunto to the ensuing Heads 1. IT is not contrary unto the nature of Divine Justice it doth not interfere with the principles of natural light in man that in sundry cases some persons should suffer punishment for the fine
by these means they obtained were the life of the Church of Old 2. IT was represented in the Mystical Account which is given us of his Communion with his Church in Love and Grace As this is intimated in many places of Scripture so there is one entire Book designed unto its Declaration This is the Divine Song of Solomon who was a Type of Christ and a Penman of the Holy Ghost therein A Gracious Record it is of the Divine Communications of Christ in Love and Grace unto his Church with their returns of love unto him and delight in him And then may a man judge himself to have somewhat profited in the experience of the Mystery of a blessed entercourse and communion with Christ when the expressions of them in that holy Dialogue do give Light and Life unto his mind and efficaciously communicate unto him an experience of their power But because these things are little understood by many the book it self is much neglected if not despised Yea to such impudence have some arrived in foaming out their own shame as that they have ridiculed the expressions of it but we are foretold of such mockers in the last days that should walk after their own ungodly lusts they are not of our present consideration THE former Instance of the Representations of the Glory of Christ in their Institutions of outward Worship with this Record of the inward communion they had with Christ in Grace Faith and Love gives us the Substance of that view which they had of his Glory What holy strains of Delight and Admiration what Raptures of Joy what solemn and divine Complacency what ardency of Affection and Diligence in Attendance unto the means of enjoying communion with him this discovery of the Glory of Christ wrought in the souls of them that did believe is Emphatically expressed in that discourse A few days a few hours spent in the frame characterised in it is a Blessedness excelling all the treasures of the Earth and if we whose Revelations of the same Glory do far exceed theirs should be found to come short of them in Ardency of Affection unto Christ and continual holy Admiration of his excellencies we shall one day be judged unworthy to have received them 3. IT was so represented and made known under the Old Testament in his personal Appearances on various occacasions unto several Eminent Persons Leaders of the Church in their Generations This he did as a Praeludium to his Incarnation He was as yet God only but appeared in the assumed shape of a man to signifie what he would be He did not create an Human Nature and unite it unto himself for such a Season only by his Divine Power he acted the Shape of a Man composed of what Aetherial Substance he pleased immediately to be dissolved So he appeared to Abraham to Jacob to Moses to Joshua and others as I have at large elsewhere proved and confirmed And hereon also because he was the Divine Person who dwelt in and dealt with the Church under the Old Testament from first to last in so doing he constantly assumes unto himself Human Affections to intimate that a season would come when he would immediately act in that Nature And indeed after the fall there is nothing spoken of God in the Old Testament nothing of his Institutions nothing of the way and manner of dealing with the Church but what hath respect unto the future Incarnation of Christ. And it had been absurd to bring in God under perpetual Anthropopathis as grieving repenting being angry well-pleased and the like were it not but that the Divine Person intended was to take on him the Nature wherein such Affections do dwell 4. IT was represented in Prophetical Visions So the Apostle affirms that the Vision which Isaiah had of him was when he saw his Glory John 12. 41. And it was a blessed Representation thereof For his Divine Person being exalted on a Throne of Glory his Train filled the Temple The whole Train of his Glorious Grace filled the Temple of his body This is the true Tabernacle which God pitched and not man The Temple which was destroy'd and which he raised again in three days wherein dwelt the fulness of the Godhead Col. 1. 9. This Glory was now presented unto the view of Isaiah Chap. 6. 1 2 3. which filled him with Dread and Astonishment But from thence he was relieved by an act of the Ministry of that Glorious one taking away his Iniquity by a coal from the Altar which typified the purifying efficacy of his Sacrifice This was food for the Souls of Believers in these and on the like occasions did the whole Church lift up their voice in that Holy Cry Make hast our Beloved and be thou like to a Roe or to a young Hart on the Mountain of Spices OF the same Nature was his Glorious Appearance on Mount Sinai at the giving of the Law Exod. 19. For the description thereof by the Psalmist Psal. 68. 17 18. is applyed by the Apostle unto the Ascension of Christ after his Resurrection Ephes. 4. 8 9 10 11. Only as it was then full of outward Terror because of the giving of the fiery Law it was referred unto by the Psalmist as full of Mercy with respect unto his Accomplishment of the same Law His giving of it was as Death unto them concerned because of its Holiness and the severity of the the Curse wherewith it was attended his fulfilling of it was Life by the Pardon and Righteousness which issued from thence 5. THE Doctrine of his Incarnation whereby he became the Subject of all that Glory which we enquire after was revealed although not so clearly as by the Gospel after the actual accomplishment of the thing it self In how many places this is done in the Old Testament I have elsewhere declared at least I have explained and vindicated many of them for no man can presume to know them all Vindic. Evangel One instance therefore shall here suffice and this is that of the same Prophet Isaiah chap. 9. v. 6 7. Vnto us a child is born unto us a Son is given and the government shall be on his shoulder and his name shall be called Wonderful Counsellor the mighty God the everlasting Father the Prince of Peace of the encrease of his government and peace there shall be no end upon the Throne of David and upon his Kingdom to order it and establish it with judgment and Justice from henceforth and for ever the zeal of the Lord of Hosts will perform this This one Testimony is sufficient to confound all Jews Socinians and other Enemies of the Glory of Christ. I do acknowledge that not-notwithstanding this Declaration of the Glory of Christ in his future Incarnation and Rule there remained much darkness in the minds of them unto whom it was then made For although they might and did acquiesce in the truth of the Revelation yet they could frame to themselves no notions of the
Heaven AMONG the many other Differences which might be insisted on altho the greatest of them are unto us at present absolutely incomprehensible and so not to be enquired into I shall name two only and so put a close to this Discourse 1. IN the View which we have here of the Glory of Christ by Faith we gather things as it were one by one in several parts and parcels out of the Scripture and comparing them together in our Minds they become the Object of our present Sight which is our spiritual comprehension of the things themselves We have no proposal of the Glory of Christ unto us by Vision or illustrious appearance of his Person as Isaiah had of old Chap. 6. 1 2 3 4. or as John had in the Revelation Chap. 1. vers 13 14 15 16. We need it not it would be of no advantage unto us For as unto the assurance of our Faith we have a word of prophesie more useful unto us than a Voice from Heaven 2 Pet. 1. 17 18 19. And of those who received such Visions tho of eminent use unto the Church yet as unto themselves one of them cryed out Wo is me I am undone and the other fell as dead at his feet We are not able in this life to bear such glorious Representations of him unto our Edification AND as we have no such external proposals of his Glory unto us in Visions so neither have we any New Revelations of him by immediate inspiration We can see nothing of it know nothing of it but what is proposed unto us in the Scripture and that as it is proposed Nor doth the Scripture it self in any one place make an entire proposal of the Glory of Christ with all that belongs unto it nor is it capable of so doing nor can there be any such Representation of it unto our capacity on this side Heaven If all the Light of the Heavenly Luminaries had been contracted into one it would have been destructive not useful to our sight But being by Divine Wisdom distributed into Sun Moon and Stars each giving out his own Proportion it is suited to declare the Glory of God and to enlighten the World So if the whole Revelation of the Glory of Christ and all that belongs unto it had been committed into one series and contexture of Words it would have overwhelmed our Minds rather than enlightned us Wherefore God hath distributed the Light of it through the whole Firmament of the Books of the Old and New Testament whence it communicates it self by various parts and degrees unto the proper use of the Church In one place we have a description of his Person and the Glory of it sometimes in words plain and proper and sometimes in great variety of Allegories conveying an heavenly Sense of things unto the Minds of them that do believe In others of his Love and Condescention in his Office and his Glory therein His Humiliation Exaltation and Power are in like manner in sundry places represented unto us And as one Star differeth from another in Glory so it was one way whereby God represented the Glory of Christ in Types and Shadows under the Old Testament and another wherein it is declared in the New Illustrious Testimonies upon all these things are planted up and down in the Scripture which we may collect as choice flowers in the Paradise of God for the SO the Spouse in the Canticles considered every part of the Person and Grace of Christ distinctly by it self and from them all concludes that he is altogether lovely Chap. 5. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16. So ought we to do in our study of the Scripture to find out the Revelation of the Glory of Christ which is made therein as did the Prophets of old as unto what they themselves received by immediate Inspiration They searched diligently what the spirit of Christ which was in them did signifie when it testified before hand the sufferings of Christ and the glory which should ensue 1 Pet. 1. 11 12. But this seeing of Christ by parts in the Revelation of him is one cause why we see him here but in part SOME suppose that by Chopping and Painting and Gilding they can make an Image of Christ that shall perfectly represent him to their Sences and carnal Affections from head to foot But they feed on ashes and have a lie in their right hand Jesus Christ is evidently crucified before our eyes in the Scripture Gal. 3. 1. So also is he evidently exalted and glorified therein And it is the Wisdom of Faith to gather into one these parcelled Descriptions that are given of him that they may be the Object of its View and Contemplation IN the Vision which we shall have above the whole Glory of Christ will be at once and always represented unto us and we shall be enabled in one act of the Light of Glory to comprehend it Here indeed we are at a loss our minds and understandings fail us in their Contemplations It will not yet enter into our hearts to conceive what is the beauty what is the Glory of this compleat Representation of Christ unto us To have at once all the Glory of what he is what he was in his outward State and Condition what he did and suffered what he is Exalted unto his Love and Condescention his Mystical Union with the Church and the Communication of himself unto it with the Recapitulation of all things in Him and the Glory of God even the Father in his Wisdom Righteousness Grace Love Goodness Power Shining forth eternally in him in what he is hath done and doth all presented unto us in one view all comprehended by us at once is that which at present we cannot conceive We can long for it pant after it and have some foretasts of it namely of that State and Season wherein our whole Souls in all their powers and faculties shall constantly inseparably eternally cleave by Love unto whole Christ in the fight of the Glory of his Person and Grace until they are watered dissolved and inebriated in the Waters of Life and the Rivers of Pleasure that are above for evermore So must we speak of the things which we admire which we adore which we love which we long for which we have some foretasts of in sweetness inessable which yet we cannot comprehend THESE are some few of those things whence ariseth the difference between that view which we have here of the Glory of Christ and that which is reserved for Heaven namely such as are taken from the difference between the means or instruments of the one and the other Faith and Sight IN the last place the great difference between them consists in and is manifested by their effects Hereof I shall give some few instances and close this discourse 1. THE Vision which we shall have of the Glory of Christ in Heaven and of the Glory of the immense God in him is perfectly and absolutely transforming
