this Oh but Brethren the very truth is it is a very common thing by interpretation to give the lye to God and all that do not believe according to that Gospel-believing that you have heard do tell God to his face that he is a Lyar. How doth that appear Why take a little help such as I am able to give you To profess that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God that he came to be the Saviour of the world is ordered out to be our Righteousness is sent of God to preach Liberty to Captives to heal diseased Souls and to deliver poor Creatures from the bondage of the Devil these things People generally profess to believe but mark you now they never come to Christ nor never set in with him upon this account and to this purpose Oh Lord thou art the Jesus the Annointed of God I come to thee for life I am a poor dead Creature I am in a state of unrighteonsness and thon art given to be for Righteousness Lord I fly to thee for it I am a poor diseased creature the Plague is upon my soul and thou art appointed to heal the Soul of the Plague I come to thee for healing There is not one of thousands that come thus to Christ. Will you now see how the lye is given to God I profess for my part saith one I know no such matter Jesus is the Christ and I profess to believe so and he is appointed of God for such and such things he is sent to preach liberty to the Captives I know not that there is any such bondage Christ came to save sinners alas I know no need of any such salvation by him he came to heal diseased souls I am well enough what need have I of Christ What is this but to give the lye to God He that receiyes not Christ makes God a lyar for he doth in effect say Lord thou sayest so and so concerning the World I know nothing of all this and so the lye is given to God And is it nothing to give the lye to the great God the God of truth And I tell you while you profess this Jesus to be the Christ the Son of God and in the mean time flye not to him you believe him to be the Son of God and that all Authority is given unto him and you will not subject to his Authority why you give the lye to God and is this nothing 2. Consider the sad condition of such as believe not according to a right Gospel-believing they are such as are lyable to the dreadfullest touches from the Devil that possibly can be He that believeth is born of God overcomes the World and is enabled to keep himself that the wicked one doth not touch him with a mortiferous touch but I tell thee whatever thou art that art under the powerof unbelief thou art in danger of a dreadfull touch from the Prince of darkness and if thou livest and diest in a state of unbelief thou wilt fall under the power of condemnation Remember what our Saviour speaks and consider well of it You stand out in opposition to my Doctrine but I tell you Except you believe that I am He you shall dye in your sins A dreadful word you shall die in your sins and what then be damned eternally This is the condition of all such as are in a state of unbelief but then on the other hand in case we be able to give a good account of our believing that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God and of our believing on him concerning whom these Testimonies are given Oh what cause have all such to rejoyce in their condition The condition of such persons is happy beyond all expression and comprehension who have owned these Truths owned that Jesus of whom the faithful Testimonies are given Now all the Chapter according to the account I have given you comes in to the purpose of comforting and rejoycing the heart of such Persons Here is your comfort now really believing according to a right interpretation of Gospel-believing this is your priviledge you are the Persons that are born from above you are the Persons that shall be enabled to over come the World to bear up against all opposition that Men and Devils can make against you you are the Persons that have the Witness within you and you shall be able to bear up against all the contradictions of Sinners you are the Persons that have Christ and have eternal life by him you shall have it nay you have it already He that believeth on the Son of God hath eternal life he hath it in the beginnings of it and shall have it in the compleat state of it being brought over to Gospel-believing you may come with boldness to God in a way of prayer with holy confidence that whatever else you ask believing you shall have a good account of it God doth not neglect any believing prayer of a believing soul And all the Priviledges of the Gospel are entailed upon you and you are entitled unto them and you shall have the Benefit of them while you live and when you die unto all Eternity Well may it be said of such a Person Blessed is he and she that hath believed with a Gospel-believing Gospel-Truths and Testimonies concerning Christ and on Christ on whom those Testimonies are given for there shall be a full and perfect accomplishment of whatever God hath spoken with his mouth concerning such And then lastly If the Grace of God hath brought us over to a closing with Christ of whom these truths and testimonies are given why the last Branch of the Application is but this That you would but justifie your Believing and labour to manifest the reality of your Believing according to the Gospel by a suitable walking This is that that shall be the cloling up of this Application Oh Brethren Let us consider well our Saviour tells us in Mat. 11. Wisdom is justified of her Children Why if ever we mean to approve our selves to be Wisdom's children our care must be for to give in our Justification of Wisdom's sayings and for to carry it in a congruousness and suitableness unto that Gospel-believing which we profess to be by grace brought over to Why but what is that you will say Why consider the Text and see what remains of the Chapter I shall make it out give it up to you in this way Why First of all this is one special Duty that lies upon you That you would study your Mercy and know what God hath been to you and done for you and how highly you are dignified and not to be alwayes in a fluctuating state and upon the questioning and disputing point but to come to some well grounded confidence that you may be able to say We know that this and that is our condition and this and that is our dignified priviledge that we are planted under Do but mark how the Point in hand doth charge
