return'd to put the Organs again in tune The first Adam brought in Sin and Death into the World the second Life and Immortality An Argument which the Apostle pursues in 1 Cor. 15.47 The first Man is of the Earth Earthy the second Man is the Lord from Heaven Our Bodies must to Dust or Earth because they were made of Dust They must moulder because they are Mortal Our Natures as derivative from a Sinner are decreed to death and dissolution and must sink into the same Principle of which they are compounded but the second Man is the Lord from Heaven the Lord of Life and Immortality He doth not bring Death but Life to Body and Soul And therefore in v. 45. the Apostle stiles him a quickning Spirit keeping his Body tenantable tho' he went out of it and not only so but he was Lord of his own Body and none other had Power and Dominion over it None nor any thing could assault his Body laid up as in a Repository for his returning It seems by what we read in the History of the Gospel he put a Life-guard of Angels upon it or about it while he went into a far Country which frighted both the Souldiers and Devout Women that came to his Sepulchre to look after him Luke 24.4 The Socinians here banter and batter this Bulwark of our Faith by asserting that Christ had no power of his Body that when dead and in the Grave was out of his Care or Concern That 't was God kept his Body incorruptible and rais'd it such It was God the Father that took care of the Body and Soul of God the Son We yield this but he was such a Son of God as dwelt in Flesh not after the manner of the first Adam's Progeny His Body was of a finer make and purer mould conceiv'd of the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin and so had the Seeds of Immortality in it and was not to corrupt tho' the Inmate was for a while to remove God the Father did indeed raise Christ from the dead as we read Gal. 1.1 But it 's also written that Christ also did raise himself Joh. 2.21 Destroy this Temple and I will raise it again Where he speaks of the Temple of his Body Which he might very properly call a Temple because the fullness of the Godhead dwelt in him bodily And in Scripture we are inform'd That when he was risen from the dead his Disciples remembred that he had said this unto them and they believ'd the Scripture and the word that Jesus had said That Christ took care of his own Body and rais'd himself For 't is written Joh. 5.21 As the Father raiseth up the dead and quickneth them even so the Son quickneth whom he will He then which quickneth the dead Bodies of others when he raiseth them he also quickned his own Body when he raised that Thirdly and lastly His body was not to see Corruption because he was as the Christian High-Priest to enter into the Holy of Holiest as the first-fruits of the Dead So our Apologist St. Peter v. 29 c. of this Chapter Men and Brethren let me freely speak unto you of the Patriarch David that he is both dead and buried and his Sepulchre is with us unto this day therefore being a Prophet and knowing that God had sworn with an Oath to him that of the fruit of his loins according to the flesh he would raise up Christ to sit on his Throne He seeing this before spake of the Resurrection of Christ that his Soul was not left in Hell neither his flesh did see Corruption This Spiritual High-Priest must enter into the Holy of Holiest with all his Pontificalibus his Body and Soul Clean and Clear Pure and Perfect Radiant and Glorious the true Regalia that adorn'd the Investiture of this High-Priest He was also to rise as the first fruits the Cause and Pledge of all others Resurrection Afterwards they that are Christ's even Holy and Pious Men shall be raised up but not immediately for their Bodies must remain in the Grave and their Souls in Hades 'till he calls them They must see Corruption and pay the debt of a corrupt Nature and undergo the Pennance of the Grave and Hades Not that they feel pain in the one or the other but they willingly resign to the Divine Decree and for a while rest in hope of a glorious Redemption For the bonds of Death were unloosed by the Captain of our Salvation but they were such bonds as did not fetter they were willingly put on and easily put off The Christian High-Priest was to be a Freeman not a Prisoner he was not to enter with Shackles but rather with the Armature of a glorious Victor Eph. 6.13 c. With the whole Armour of God with the Brest-plate of Righteousness with the Shield of Faith with the Helmet of Salvation with the Sword of the Spirit by which he stood in the day of trial and withstood the fiery Darts of the Wicked and cut in sunder the bonds of Death To allude to the Apostle's Phrase From these Considerations we may conclude his Body could not see Corruption 1. Because in three days according to Promise and Prediction he was to assume his Body 2. Because he was the second Adam and so he was not under the guilt or the penalty of the first 3. Because he as the High-Priest was to enter Body and Soul pure as the Aether into the Everlasting Kingdom the Regions of Light and Glory The Doctrinal part of this Sermon speaks Comfort to us all words of great Consolation that should enliven us and fill us with joy in believing For First The same Lord Jesus that raised and reassumed his own Body shall raise ours and make them like his Glorious Body Phil. 3.21 It is the Faith of all Orthodox Divines that had the first Adam stood we had stood in him in his integrity in a perfect and holy Nature and in the favour of God And that after the expiration of a determinate time our Bodies and Souls had been translated as Enoch's and Elias's without seeing Death into a state of Immortality But what we lost by the first Man's prevarication will be beyond our deserts restored by the second Adam And as in Adam all died so in Christ shall all be made alive All are to live but some to the Resurrection of the Just whose Bodies shall be made like Christ's glorious Body The second Adam say you who is he Why the seed of the Woman that should bruise the Serpent's head Gen. 3. That Seed in whom all the Nations of the Earth are blessed The second Adam in whom and by whom a new Covenant of Grace is made for blessings in this World and far greater in another that now we might have life and that more abundantly the life of Grace and hereafter the life of Glory This is the Christ whose Body did not see Corruption nor his Soul remain among the
